That's above and beyond what most companies do to get you up to speed.

I feel like you meant for this to be a bad thing, but you're literally telling us that CF is better than a lot of other places.

Lots of places just have a google drive folder (or whatever, at scale) and you're expected to show up to meetings and pretend you're not confused.


There's a bunch of them that aren't. They'll be the new guard when the protestors are booted, plus Reddit has a core of paid moderators that they call on occasionally for events and special programs.


Whats to stop the users from booting those folks and then replacing them with mods that will close the subs?


Reddit admins only acknowledging the results of the vote when it suits them.

dLinks lets you build a decentralized profile on Web 3.0 in seconds.

Built using Handshake and Sia: Handshake names are decentralized domains that no one can block access to. Skynet offers decentralized backend hosting that cannot be taken down.


This is exactly why I quit playing as well.


Why is this interesting? I suppose because it's Apple, and they patented it?

I'm sure they're expensive to produce/store/transport, which is why we've been using flatpack pizza boxes forever.


Yeah, they have the patent for the pizza box. Why expensive to transport instead it would have reduced the material. It's quite a small box as compared to the square box.


Theoretically expensive because when you ship a pallet of pizza boxes to a pizza joint, they come in a very compact completely flat stack.


Shocking!


This is actually much more useful than the OP's list, at least for me. OP's list has a lot of high volume, low score stuff taken into account.

LOL


Until the spammers find out that google values those results and supply you with an endless stream of drivel and trash to wade through.

(cough cough reddit)


@shawn, it seems you have been shadowbanned.


He already knows but continues to harrass HN. I know the dude personally, he is deranged and obsessed about how HN is being "manipulated by the mods."

Shawn: we know HN is curated. The mods do a good job, that is why it is not a shithole like reddit.

Find a new hobby instead of being obssessed with someone else's platform like an angsty fixated five year old.


Do you really believe the reason they're being smeared is that they've cooperated with law enforcement?


Yes, I do. They discovered the murderer's profile and reached out to law enforcement with the details, including his chilling statement of intent. They could have silently deleted the profile and deflected criticism from themselves.


No, they couldn't have silently hidden everything. There are archival links that people could (and did, IIRC) post.


I am not aware of anything resembling 'archival links' other than screenshots of only the most recent posts, and verbal reports from others as to past posts.

One single page of vileness. No 'likes' to his posts, so not very popular. Notable is the anti-Trump sentiment. Not enough to confirm that this profile actually belonged to Robert Brower since names and profile pictures can be misappropriated.

Meanwhile, Gab was able to provide a complete profile of this individual and confirmation of his identity to the authorities.


> Meanwhile, Gab was able to provide a complete profile of this individual and confirmation of his identity to the authorities.

This repeatedly has been presented as an achievement. How on earth isn't that the absolute absolute basic thing? That ANY service is going to do?


Not just any service. For instance, Apple refused to assist the FBI in unlocking the iPhone belonging to one of the late prime suspects in the San Bernadino massacre. Wikileaks is refusing to co-operate with the CIA. Microsoft is resisting the FBIs demand to conduct so-called 'sneak and peek' searches on emails held on foreign servers.

Bowers also had profiles on Twitter and facebook which were probably just as nasty, but we are not hearing any calls to shut those services down.

Oh, for crying out loud. These are absolutely apples and oranges. Apple refusing to unlock - wasn't about disclosing readily available data; in this case we're talking about public and payments data. Microsoft v US has been mooted by a change of the relevant laws. Wikileaks, wait, what?

> Bowers also had profiles on Twitter and facebook which were probably just as nasty, but we are not hearing any calls to shut those services down.

Yes. Their monitoring isn't great, but they do some. Not comparable.


You said:

>That ANY service is going to [provide the data on a suspect to law enforcement]?

Are the aforementioned not services?

>Apple refusing to unlock - wasn't about disclosing readily available data;

They refused to provide information required by the FBI to investigate an extremist attack. And there was data that was not readily available to the public in the Bowers' profile.

> Microsoft v US has been mooted by a change of the relevant laws

So what? It was still data that law enforcement wished to acquire in order to investigate criminal activity, in this case organized crime.

>Wikileaks, wait, what?

I am sure the authorities are very interested in who was responsible for leaking classified information. Something Wikileaks refuses to provide.

>Yes. Their monitoring isn't great, but they do some. Not comparable.

'Not comparable'? Louis Farrakhan's anti-Semitic rants are directly 'comparable' for one, and he is not alone. Twitter's 'monitors' appear to be more concerned with influencing elections than removing extremist content.

Also, try searching Youtube for 'six gorillion' or 'six million lies'. Reporting the content that is revealed appears to be completely ineffective. Again, such 'censorship' as is done is largely concerned with influencing elections.
