I canceled cable for this reason. It's morally wrong to finance the fight against freedom on the Internet. And destroying freedom on the Internet is the only way to enforce the their laws.
Trey Gowdy on Hillary emails He talks about intent around 1:55, but the lead up is not bad either. They chose to pretend there was no intent. There was proof of intent, but no prosecutor to prosecute her.
That was the best defense for self censorship I've read so far. Actually the first time I was shown good points/examples to it. I agree partially with you and that's a lot on the subject for me. Thank you.
But I believe that I only agree with it because of its moderate examples and counter-examples, so my worries about it growing into a big self censorship scheme are not gone. Also, I can only agree up to the personal examples or "on company time" infractions, but I'm sorry to not digress much here, I'm very tired and have to wake up in a few hours. Thanks anyway for your time and your post.:-)
I agree with you, it's not private censorship per se, but it is private organizations forcing self censorship.
In China they can (and do) imprison people for criticizing the communist party. Not getting into your favorite college is not even in the same ball park of consequences.
I believe they do imprison people for criticizing the communist party, but I'm talking about the good citizen points here, that is about self censorship, that reward those who conform and ruin those who don't, or makes things difficult for those who are thinking about not conforming. These kids lost good citizen points and, for now, their only punishment is that they are not getting in their favorite college (even though they did qualify before losing the points). That sends a clear message for the others.
"Encouraging" isn't the verb to use here. If people cannot express their ideas without it destroying their futures in totally unrelated ventures, that will cause self censorship.
A knucle-dragging fuckwit in China is someone that says Taiwan is not China, a "special administrative region" denier.
Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan are examples of special administrative regions, Chinese people are supposed to think and defend the idea that Taiwan is part of PRC. While I do think the holocaust happened, and am mostly aligned with what is associated to the left (not American D or R, but leftist ideals), and would probably disagree with whatever these kids said, I was once poorly treated in China for claiming Taiwan is an independent country. As a foreigner with nothing to lose I didn't hide my opinion, but that's not what happens with people there.
People in universities over there wouldn't write that on the internet, they know they should self censor. That is what will happen in the west if universities and other businesses start not accepting people because of opinions they have in unrelated, global subjects. And BTW, most Chinese people thinks this is good, because they agree that Taiwan is China and disagree with the fuckwits.
It actually says that if you are, IN THEIR OPINION, an asshole, you're not welcome there. It also defines that people should conform to the norms and standards they are setting to be able to prosper in society (by influencing other colleges to follow suit on private censorship - "if the most respected does, we should do it too").
Related to this, the whole "private censorship is fine" argument is a mean to obtain total censorship. Just like the third party theory is being used for total surveillance.
Note: if these people's comments match the description Harvard is giving, I agree that they are assholes too. This is indifferent for the subject of private censorship, that worries me. It's like the Chinese good citizen points, you prosper if you have the right friends and say/think the right things.
it's as close to the whole front of a phone being display as I've seen
The Xiaomi Mi Mix doesn't f up the screen with the front camera by adding it at the bottom, where both this and theirs don't have a screen. Some screenshots give the impression the screen isn't so large, but that's due to the on screen controls having a black background.
Standard US person ideology. "It's great we can murder foreigners. Only our law and our people's rights matter." You finance ISIS and other terrorist groups and then proceed to feel good about killing the assholes. Pretend to save innocent lives. No one but yourselves is buying this BS anymore. Read your own intelligence reports, read your previous secretary of state emails (“Al-Qaeda is on our side in Syria.”). Stop being a murder supporter.
If you agree that scientific knowledge is good for a person, then every time someone reads a paper there was positive impact, if it happens on a poor country, there was positive impact on a poor country.
I know this might not be what you are talking about (scientific progress in the country, better researches there, etc), but I believe that the personal improvement of individuals accounts for positive impact in the country. I also believe that more important than the country having a positive impact is that thanks to these illegal activities, people have access to knowledge that they didn't have before. At least not without gigantic effort.
I got my bachelors degree in one of the top universities in Brazil (the ones with access to journals). One week after graduation I tried to enter the library and my access was revoked. I didn't publish anything with what I illegally read after that, but I still think that reading science is good for me. Anecdotal, I know.
If you want to lobby Congress for more money for NASA great
Exactly. NASA is probably the top science agency in the US, there is no reason why they shouldn't get more money. Many in the comments pointed out that to take 3.5 billion from the "defense" budget (584 billion last year) would make no difference. Trump proposed increasing it by 54 billion. When considering if the country can afford the 3.5 billion it was to be counted against the total budget of 3.9 trillion, not against the 17 billion.
Only someone paid for that would claim we cannot afford 3.5 billion. It's hard to consider any other points made when the lack of good faith has been established.
Yes, ettercap, ARP poisoning, etc... technically this is something that has been done before with other tools. The importance of the publication is for detection/protection and for attribution. A lot of people will know who is/was after them, messing with their systems, etc. Since we are talking about murderers, it is very good to know.
The title is misleading. They are actually pledging to crack down on Government-led INFORMATION campaigns. Their report reads:
One aspect of this included malicious actors leveraging conventional and social media to share information stolen from other sources, such as email accounts, with the intent of harming the reputation of specific political targets. These incidents employed a relatively straightforward yet deliberate series of actions: Private and/or proprietary information was accessed and stolen from systems and services (outside of Facebook); Dedicated sites hosting this data were registered; Fake personas were created on Facebook and elsewhere to point to and amplify awareness of this data; Social media accounts and pages were created to amplify news accounts of and direct people to the stolen data. From there, organic proliferation of the messaging and data through authentic peer groups and networks was inevitable.
They are clearly talking about the Podesta and Clinton emails. The truth was spread and they don't want it to happen again.
Only solution for the under-performing colleague problem is acceptance of different skill and engagement levels. It's very hard to deal with it, but people knowing how to accept and live with it is the only solution. The alternative is giving you better colleagues, but then you might start upsetting them. In any group there will be under-performers.
Stylish is the most popular extension to do that in every website (as well as other css themes). I'm using the dark mode of/. now. For youtube there are other extensions as well. It's strange that the few options a website gives you to see itself is considered "news". Specially since there are tools that give you many more options.
If you are going to accuse people of stuff, don't pretend you don't know what we are talking about. That's just dumb.
I wrote the whole comment and searched the links to point to you. I did not expect a response, just wanted to inform you that the complains about Reddit go the other way too.
You are an asshole to assume I'm lying about my origin. I explicitly pointed out where I'm from. OTOH, I have no doubts about your origin. This kind of dumb asshole only breeds in America. It's clear I was wrong to assume good faith in you.
It is very interesting to see this kind of comment (I'm assuming you are not trolling or a paid user). If you check on what happened on Reddit against the Trump supporters and on censoring good part of what was being discovered on the Wikileaks files you will see a very different narrative.
I'm not American (Brazilian), but for various reasons that are irrelevant here I was against Hillary in your elections (remember that the US does interfere in every country, eg. your president decides if we get to keep the president we elect - we didn't). Also irrelevant, but I had preferred candidates in Ds, Rs and Greens.
Boards were having rules changed to ban posts by Trump supporters and users. Posts that were mere reproductions of what was being discovered in WL dumps were being prevented from getting to front page, etc. At a point the banning and the censorship of facts (I'm talking WL, not "alternative facts" or bogus intelligence reports) was so serious that there was a lot of talk about where people should go to do the collective work of going through the data and publishing the discoveries without censorship. Before the election I used to browse Reddit for news. By the end of the election I had completely lost my faith in Reddit as a place to look for information, they are as good as Imgur right now. Fun for memes, interesting for the occasional research post, but will hide the serious stuff.
Read about Weev. He was sued and got jail time. He didn't even publish the flaw itself, just gave proof it existed to journalists. This would be much more serious. On getting a clue, the Wikileaks "secret" indictment is common knowledge. Everybody knew about it for years when Google informed some people about the seizure of their emails because of that investigation. US officials routinely reply to questions about Wikileaks saying they can't discuss it because of an ongoing investigation. Assange is not attainable now, there is no reason to bring the charges against him, this doesn't mean they will not be sued. After all, they are not Clinton.

Rooting, clean room, no GAPPS.
Use alternative app stores.
Use global ad blocking.
Never Google anything.
