CodeShmode··on South African variant can break through Pfizer vaccine, Israeli study says
I get what you're saying but there is a fair bit of context and intent difference between the terms. "China virus" was pretty highly implied to convey blame and fault, but the variant terms are not similarly charged.

Case in point would be that acts of racism or violence are not being incited against races from the variant countries.

You could also sell a certificate of authenticity without an artwork, but why would you?
CodeShmode··on Amazon, Apple and Google Cut Off Parler
Yes, context is important. If someone makes a call to violence that is not intended to be taken seriously and is not at risk of being taken seriously that is different from making a call to violence in the hope that someone picks it up at a time when people are likely to act on it.

There is a test for this decided at the supreme court level: inciteful speech can only be prohibited if the speech is "directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action."

So this video from that day of a man inside the capitol calmly convincing a police officer to go home because there's thousands of people surrounding the building? Is he a Q-Tard or is he Antifa?

CodeShmode··on Amazon, Apple and Google Cut Off Parler
Would you consider that hashtag to have serious intent to incite people to commit acts of violence?

Show us the BLM tweet equivalent of "We need to systematically start assassinating Liberal leaders"
CodeShmode··on Amazon, Apple and Google Cut Off Parler
Did you read the Parler screen captures in the article? They are blatently and directly calling for death and murder. Prohibiting the inciting of violence is not a political decision.
CodeShmode··on Dasung just released a 25 inch eInk monitor
The original owner can just refuse to license their patients however, leaving the improvements useless.
CodeShmode··on Silicon Valley’s Vast Data Collection Should Worry You More Than TikTok
Over-incarceration is big problem yes, but a red herring to the direct targeting and silencing of all political opposition.

UBI is given in replacement for government services.
CodeShmode··on Montreal is taxing churches (2017)
Yeah, same with that useless ymca and that donated community garden.
CodeShmode··on Deno will stop using TypeScript
Because for ecosystem and tooling JavaScript is the first class citizen. TypeScript was accepted as the defacto static typing system because it diverges so little, and valid JS is valid TS meaning example code can still be used close to verbatim.
CodeShmode··on Executive order expected to suspend H-1B, other visas until end of year
If your main concern is getting people to commit less crimes then we should support a system that promotes rehabilitation over punishment.

Perhaps take a look at Norway's system.

Since you can't undo a cut, the one with the fewest cuts would be the legitimate one.
CodeShmode··on 402 Payment Required, and why micropayments are doomed
The handy thing about LN is that we can have that model without having to trust the hub in the middle. If there's a disagreement of the state of the funds in the channel it falls back to regular bitcoin transactions to resolve it.

If such a hub does this too much then they'll have trouble getting others to commit funds to a channel to them.

CodeShmode··on 402 Payment Required, and why micropayments are doomed
You don't need to have a direct LN connection with the content creator, just a path through intermediate nodes.

More likely users won't have to deal with all that because there will be micropayment wallet providers that can aggregate the transaction costs of buying bitcoin and maintain large value LN channels.
