>Under pressure from the White House, Facebook censored "often-true content” that a company executive said in the spring of 2021 "does not contain actionable misinformation" but was "discouraging vaccines."
>The State Attorney General of Missouri, who is suing the Biden Administration for violating the First Amendment, released the email over the weekend.
>“As you know,” wrote the Facebook executive whose name was redacted, “in addition to removing vaccine misinformation, we have been focused on reducing the virality of content discouraging vaccines that does not contain actionable misinformation.
>More than 15 million votes were logged in answer to Mr. Musk’s question about whether to reinstate Mr. Trump, according to the results that Mr. Musk included in his tweet, with nearly 52 percent in favor of the former president returning to Twitter.
For context, (whether you agree or not) here is the original Twitter blog post where they explain the reasons for banning the account:
Striking headline and summary data, but I don't like that the surveyors seem cagey about releasing the full data. Why should you have to contact they to get it vs. just putting it out there for transparency?
Surely the true number isn't 0 for each, but it may not be that high - or at least people may not be as willing to be upfront or see it that way.
>Methodology
>This survey was commissioned by ResumeBuilder.com and conducted online by the survey platform Pollfish on November 2, 2022. In total, 1,000 participants in the U.S. were surveyed. All participants had to pass through demographic filters to ensure they were age 18 or older, currently employed for wages or self-employed, and manage at least 25% of the hiring at their workplace.

Reddit stats are had to come by, but I wonder if the users who use it for mostly news and text rather than interesting images/videos/memes (would old.reddit.com users be a good proxy?) has aged the same way.
I think "faster" and "flashier" content wins out in social media, so for example the text interaction people have left for twitter and Substack. Heck, compare pg's amount of public comments here vs all his content on Twitter, sama when he was still with YC, the other YC people, etc. (I mean they probably have alts but still).
I expect that certain ways HN was designed are becoming less attractive as a platform for the population at large, like the 80-character title limit so that it could fit a title in a single terminal line (although I personally love this more than I hate it, keeps things to-the-point).
I wonder what the TikTok version of the HN-type community is like?
>Thierry Breton, EU commissioner for the internal market, said Twitter will have to “fly by our rules” after Elon Musk’s $44 billion purchase of the company.Tech companies will face greater pressure to remove illegal content under the EU’s incoming Digital Services Act.
Companies can be fined up to 6% of global annual revenues for violations of the rules, which are expected to come into force in 2024.
>But regulators on both sides of the Atlantic are worried that Musk could, for example, allow former President Donald Trump back onto the platform. Musk, who has previously said he would reverse the ban on Trump’s account, reportedly intends to scrap lifetime bans on Twitter users, according to Bloomberg.
I agree! But "great minds think alike" and all that. Still think the excerpt from my submission is juicy:
>The details of the complaint against the defendants, Guochun He and Zheng Wang, match up with a prosecution in the Eastern District of New York of Huawei, a Chinese telecom equipment manufacturer, which the U.S. previously charged with stealing trade secret and intellectual property information.

Well, it makes a difference when trying to convince in good faith.
If an argument can be used to prove contradictory positions depending on framing, then citing that argument as if it is conclusive without that missing framing is wrong.
Assuming a person making this mistake is acting in good faith, pointing this out is constructive, and allows the opportunity to complete the argument with by adding missing framing.
This kind of rejoinder has always bothered me, because this action can be used by anyone, depending on the framing. It could be valid in the sense I think you are using it, but for example it can be used to argue the opposite:
"freedom of speech is so important that paradoxically, the government must ban a small part of it (of those who want to restrict it, like Paypal and HN commenters) to preserve the rest."
This stackexchange answer I sought out after seeing the video from Jeff Geerling[0] provided the best explanations I had seen.
Also a helpful recommendation to use https://www.rpilocator.com/ to find any supply when it becomes available.
TL;DR/TL;DW
While what everyone surely has guessed to be the case is true (demand is so high they would have increased the production rate to meet that demand if not for supply chain shortages), commercial customers that have priority are sucking up most of the supply so very few are left for the hobbyist market. Interestingly, some RPi producers seem to be skimming some of their own production to scalp on the hobbyist market for higher prices.
It now seems populated with a combined 3 results between the two tabs linked. If it is a technical malfunction rather than a shadow ban, what do you suspect is happening?
EDIT: Adding archive links for proof, looks like 4 results combined:
Just learned about this. Kind of cool that other terminals are adopting these protocols, I especially appreciate the idea in the nnn file manager. Much better than sixel graphics, which has wider support but is very limited and dated.
Wish I could find a more neutral source, but this is what is available. I was surprised to see this, I had thought that shadowbans on twitter were like those on reddit, so only used for non-human bots.
The margins for safety with space launches are always very slim, but I would hope science and practicality win over top-down pressure if that's present for the human mission.
>What we learned was that several popular Android health apps including Drugs.com Medication Guide, WebMD: Symptom Checker and Period Calendar Period Tracker gave advertisers the information they’d need to market to people or groups of consumers based on their health concerns.
>The Drugs.com Android app, for example, sent data to more than 100 outside entities including advertising companies, DuckDuckGo said. Terms inside those data transfers included “herpes,” “HIV,” “adderall” (a drug to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder), “diabetes” and “pregnancy.” These keywords came alongside device identifiers, which raise questions about privacy and targeting.
>Drugs.com said it’s not transmitting any data that counts as “sensitive personal information” and that its ads are relevant to the page content, not to the individual viewing that page. When The Post pointed out that in one case Drugs.com appeared to send an outside company the user’s first and last name — a false name DuckDuckGo used for its testing — it said that it never intended for users to input their names into the “profile name” field and that it will stop transmitting the contents of that field.
This project seems like a really big deal as it makes Rust truly a bootstrapped language, since the other backends mrustc and LLVM are both written in C++. With all the interest in Rust on HN I was surprised it hadn't been submitted before.
