Yeah all those dumb secretaries, presidents, senators and the people who work for them, they really ought to be reading more HN to learn about how things work.

Unless of course any company whose viability materially depends on Section 230 protections would have been dead in the water pretty much in any other jurisdiction on earth in the first place, the threat of moving out of the US was a naked bluff and the powers that be realized it.

Well for one it's a super expensive country and the cost of doing business is huge, but we aren't talking about general business-friendliness rather about a very specific set of legal protections provided by Section 230 enabling the business models of facebook, twitter, google, reddit et al.

I don't know the specifics of Swiss legal system in that regard but the fact that nothing similar ever came out of there probably says something.

And I suppose you have done research on the Irish legal system, its liability protections for 3rd party content providers, its jurisprudence on hate speech, defamation and libel ? (hint: it's part of the EU)

Pray tell where should such a company go ?

I think this is the natural expectation of anyone familiar with spreadsheets, reporting tools or data grids with sortable column headers, but a message along the lines of

"Sorting results of the previous query, click 'Run SQL' button again to query with ${column_name} as the ORDER BY column"

and a "got it" hyperlink to be stored in your session state store of choice upon first click on a column header would probably make it clear.

The UI needs to be such so as to make the users understand that by clicking a column header they would be sorting the results of a previous query rather than re-running it with a different sort column and that the two are not generally interchangeable, likewise with instant in-results search.

At least with the server being on the internet and the example setup I disagree that the current way is faster or even near a modern webui

Having to rerun the query and reload the page just to change the sort order on a small dataset is very 1997

'code' would be the code of whatever kernel is in use and 'sql' would a notebook-level feature like 'markdown' is today.

Alternatively: a new type of cell in jupyter itself alongside 'code' and 'markdown' for sql work available regardless of kernel choice.

Cool hack, but probably wouldn't install a separate kernel or run an entire notebook just for sqlite work.

What would be useful is for the kernel of your language of choice to provide a magic for sqlite and return results of queries in language-native data structures.

Something like this: https://pypi.org/project/ipython-sql/

That's not cyberstalking - that's actual, physical, real-life stalking.

> Local news breaks much earlier than national.

On federal cases involving a multi-billion household name company ? Not to my experience but perhaps.

Hmm apparently Devin Wenig was the CEO of a Reuters division about a decade ago.

How is this not front-page national news ?

Political affiliation otoh, which in every other western democracy with anti-discrimination laws usually goes right alongside religion remains an unprotected category in the US

> so it is exfiltrating your contact list as well, exposing your network.

They claim they do that in a privacy-preserving way with crypto magic but it's the inform-people-when-you-start-using-signal part that is a problem

How are they planning to decide which outlet is state-owned ? Friend-of-Putin Times will happily represent that it is 100% privately owned company that is privately owned by someone who just happens be good friends with Putin.

"We commit to continuing to fight the forces of environmental injustice — like climate change — which disproportionately harm Black communities and other communities of color. "

I'm not sure what's more racist and insulting - for Apple to believe that many black people will appreciate them taking this as another opportunity to play PC bingo or for them to think that it doesn't matter if they do or not.

Making this about racism is a self-serving distraction for many. This is about unaccountable abuse of power - something that Apple as a trillion-dollar gorilla is no stranger to.

Didn't that already happen with the "brain activity in a dead salmon" affair ?

Not saying it is cut-and-dry, but atm the users doesn't get to make that tradeoff for themselves - signal made it on their behalf when it could have allowed the users to choose on activation to which of their contacts they wish to be discoverable.

Can't read and admire person for quitting job at facebook because content is on facebook.

The fact that I've started using signal might not be an information I wish to share with other people who are also using signal and have my contact.

Cool ! Now stop with the forced contact discovery.

> with public servants being taught how to file bug reports and whatnot.

Uh oh.

Not the only, but 1970s-1980s had a real crime emergency, the 2000s didn't nearly as much.

"We" didn't ask them to be any of these things, especially soldiers - this is power that they actively pushed for, there was no crime wave in the early 2000s when the militarization of police began in full swing - just a post-9/11 power opportunism and the need to find jobs for discharged soldiers.

Mission specialists always existed, they're called detectives.

Or at least make it actually qualified.

That email sure seems to be formatted for 80 columns

Yes, PR and political signalling both internal and external.
