Isn't it the same thing just obfuscated by two levels of indirection, Patriot Act/Op Choke Point -> VISA/Mastercard -> Social Medias

I heard someone refer to doors as "a building's handshake" or a building's first impression. The REI near me uses canoe paddles for door handles which is brilliant.

It gives them political cover to ban content and act as if they are "responding to pressure" but still "striving to be neutral".

From my Catholic perspective it is remarkable how well it tracks with heresy, for context: dissent from one point of the Magisterium makes one a heretic. Analogy being dissent from one point of the most recent iteration of liberalism makes one worthy of unpersonage / cancellable. Recent high profile target being JK Rowling discussed here a few days ago

Re:Ask HN: What is your favorite way to read online content?

From principles: you want to minimize the left right action of your eyes/neck, to reduce fatigue, and not blast your retinas with a wall of white pixels.
One column of centered text with a non-busy black and white background looks great. For a while I read Amazon books like that because I put the online reader in an iframe.
Now I use a HiSense A5 e-Ink screen with a remote control for page turning and I couldn't ask for more.
Re:Ask HN: I just started my first real workday, any tips?

Write everything down. Keep detailed todo lists, break todos into smaller units when necessary. At the end of the day try to give yourself an easy task for the morning, so you can accomplish something right away before you're fully in the zone. Listen to the salespeople, they might be promising some feature that's not on your radar yet. Don't eat the donuts.
