When all you really have is potential, you have to do everything you can to stop word of your failures from spreading. Almost as if 20 Billion dollar companies without anywhere near that amount in actual assets are a toxic barrel waiting to roll off the truck.

Looks like some good news for airbnb an obscure anti-porn law is helping them avoid fines in the SF Bay Area. Well if the lawsuit holds up.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jun/29/airbnb-lawsuit-san-francisco-regulation-internet-porn
A wacky dude got an anti-porn law passed in the 90's but business minded Republicans only voted it in with the inclusion of a section absolving hosts and services from being fined for user violations.

quote:

Section 230 holds that providers of �interactive computer services� cannot be held liable for the content that users post on their sites. That means that Yelp cannot be held liable for users leaving negative reviews of your business and eBay cannot be held liable if you bid on an autographed baseball that ends up being counterfeit: the platforms are held to be neutral intermediaries and their tantalizingly deep pockets are out of reach.

airbnb is arguing they're not breaking the law when their users post rentals without proper permitting, so they can't be held responsible.

Moldbug at one point claimed that his whole deal with Urbit was specifically about building his (poorly considered and disgusting) philosophy into the fabric of a system people would use, and therefore get them to adopt it.

The thing is he's also an obscuritanist sperglord and thus working hard to guarantee nobody actually uses his system. I can't believe anyone actually just forked over money to get a place in it given its terribleness along two separate axes.

Moldbug having worked at Xaos in the 90s means I might know one or two people who worked with him, too. Maybe I'll see if anyone remembers him, and their reaction to him going full monarchist and slavery advocate.

Section 230 is a very important piece of law that enables a ton of e-activities. Social media basically couldn't exist without it.

Maybe I'm outing myself as an old, but yes, I remember the Communications Decency Act quite well and know all about the Section 230 safe harbor clause. It was a rather important get in passing the law as it's important to make sure the people actually breaking the law are held accountable not the middlemen who's agnostic tools that were used. Since, you know, that's how it works in the real world as well. And yes, like the real world, if the only use for your tool is illegal or you encouraged illegal behavior with your tool, you lose the safe harbor. Which is why I don't think this will entirely work for AirBnB. Example, there was a site a few years back that did apartment listings that was sued for discrimination because it let you filter on protected categories, they lost their 230 protection because the tool itself was promoting an illegal activity.

E; Also, the DMCA safe harbor clause is only about copyright.

Is there some test for safe harbor that doesn't involve action or inaction on Airbnb's part? Can they lose safe harbor if 99% of their listings are not in compliance? 50%? I think Airbnb may win this one.

JamesKPolk posted:

Like it looks like they're trying to build an internet inside the internet.

The core idea is that your computer can farm out work to other computers, and is available for other computers to use for their own work. This is a pretty hot research area and it's one place where Bitcoin-style blockchain/distributed-ledger stuff is actually worth anything - you need some way to exchange credit for work, the proof-of-work component is tied to meaningful computation rather than hashing-for-the-sake-of-hashing, and it's backed by actual computation rather than "sure, I guess you can use this to pay for things that aren't drugs, child pornography, and ransom demands." The end goal of these systems is to create a sort of cloud computing network, but instead of going to Amazon, Microsoft, or Google and saying, "please run this for me, and charge my credit card," you just toss your request out on the Computation Network, with a certain number of work tokens attached, and anybody who wants to pick it up can do so.

Of course, this runs into a lot of issues once you move outside of a university lab into the real world. Besides the problems with just keeping stable communication going, you need to make sure you're not dealing with somebody who says, "the answer's zero, totally did the work, now pay me those tokens" to every request. Proof-of-work and reputation is a big deal, along with some kind of payment system that actually works and doesn't fall into all the traps-at-scale that Bitcoin has shown.

Urbit's spin on this is to throw out a lot of the hard parts and replace it with what is literally a feudal system. In Urbit, you can't just create an address on the system for yourself, because there's a hierarchy of strictly limited addresses. Yarvin and co. have come up with different names for these tiers on both astronomy and naval themes, but it boils down to a limit of 256 "kings", 65k "lords", 4 billion "freemen", and 4 billion slaves per freeman. The fact that there are fewer unique freemen/destroyer/planet-level identities than people on Earth is a feature, not a bug. In this system, if you misbehave, your master exiles you from the network to prevent damage to their own reputation.

In other words, it's the internet Peter Thiel sees when he's alone at night.

No, it's (almost) entirely based on their actions, see how Silk Road was treated vs how eBay was. For AirBnB, it's really hard to tell this far in advance how a judge might rule on 230 qualification since it depends on a lot of things, some of which could hurt or help them depending on mood.

Yeah the linked article goes into why that particular section was very important to how the internet wound up shaped and had a snippet from the more sane folks who ensured it went in. That's their argument, but it hasn't worked previously without good-faith efforts to curb illegal activity.

It strikes me as more of a legal stall since they could quite reasonably get an injunction against SF continuing their crackdown on airbnb until after the case is resolved. Of course what's funny is all it would delay is fines and airbnb being penalized for facilitating these illegal short term rentals, not the city going after airbnb's users.

Another example of a company dancing pretty heavily with cities and local jurisdictions over their users is Craigslist. They were nearly kicked out of cities like SF for the illegal activities of users. Yeah you'll still see shady stuff there, but they've stepped up moderation and took out flagrant sections like "Adult Employment," and unlike airbnb they weren't getting a cut of the money made from said illegal activities.

It is worth pointing out that there is an easy way and a hard way for AirBnB to deal with their users not complying to with the short term rental regulations, and despite their protests and lawsuit doing what the new regulations require is the easy way for AirBnB.

The hard way is for the city to file John Doe lawsuits for every single listing and that doesn't have a registration number listed and flood AirBnB with literally tens of thousands of subpoenas.

A company like airbnb will decide that it gets to do whatever it wants and will fight tooth and nail to make that a legal reality. Either they'll fail and try again later or win and have the very precedent they helped put on place dick them over in the future. Then they'll challenge it.

Marissa Mayer addressed the purple elephant in the room immediately after stepping on stage: No, there are no updates about Yahoo's sale process.

Instead, Mayer devoted what may be Yahoo's final annual shareholders meeting as an independent company to making the case that her turnaround efforts were not a complete failure.

"On a personal note, I will say that I've been heartened by the level of interest in Yahoo," Mayer said at the meeting on Thursday, presumably referring to reported acquisition bids from Verizon, AT&T and numerous private equity groups. "It validates our business progress."

The business progress, as she laid it out, includes growing mobile users and revenue throughout her four-year tenure and launching dozens of new product features a year to broaden Yahoo's audience. It also means pushing to cut costs in recent months through layoffs and shutting down more than 100 products.

When pressed by one shareholder on why Yahoo's growth lagged behind competitors, Mayer stressed the "very competitive space" the company operates in.

Analysts and industry watchers aren't as charitable in grading her accomplishments.

"This is about protecting her legacy," says Jan Dawson, a technology analyst with Jackdaw Research. "Yahoo was her chance to run an entire company for the first time and really make her mark in her own right as a CEO. It hasn't gone well."

Mayer, previously a star executive at Google, took over as CEO of Yahoo in mid-2012, kicking off a wave of speculation about whether she could save the slumping Internet company. She enjoyed a two-year honeymoon period with investors, thanks in large part to Wall Street's focus on Yahoo's large stake in Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, which went public in September 2014.

Since then, Mayer has faced renewed scrutiny for failing to revive Yahoo's declining ad revenue with flashy new tech products and dozens of acquisitions, including the $1.1 billion purchase of Tumblr.

Verizon, AT&T and others are now said to be bidding as much as $5 billion to purchase Yahoo's core Internet business after hedge fund Starboard pushed for a sale and received four seats on the company's board.

"Yahoo's management team and our board are fully aligned with one clear priority: delivering shareholder value to all of you," Mayer said in her opening remarks on Thursday. "We have no announcements today, but we are continuing to make great progress on our process."

It was a far cry from last year's shareholder meeting when Mayer confidently declared that "the best years for the company are still ahead of us."

quote:

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is about to take a closer look at Tesla's Autopilot, the company revealed on Thursday. In a blog post, Tesla says that it learned on Wednesday evening that the NHTSA is "opening a preliminary evaluation into the performance of Autopilot" following a fatal crash involving a Model S.

The incident, which happened in May, involved a white tractor-trailer that was turning left across a divided highway, perpendicular to the path of the Tesla, which was cruising on Autopilot. "Neither Autopilot nor the driver noticed the white side of the tractor trailer against a brightly lit sky, so the brake was not applied. The high ride height of the trailer combined with its positioning across the road and the extremely rare circumstances of the impact caused the Model S to pass under the trailer, with the bottom of the trailer impacting the windshield of the Model S," Tesla stated.

The company also stated that in a front-on or rear-end collision with the tractor-trailer, the outcome would not have ended in tragedy. It described the driver as "a friend to Tesla and the broader EV community" and expressed sympathy for his friends and family for their loss.

Although Tesla's Autopilot is one of the very best semi-autonomous driving systems on the market, it is not designed for "eyes-off" driving, and owners should be as vigilant on the roads as they would be in any other vehicle.

What a spectacular sentence. Continuing to make great progress on our process. It is almost insultingly barren of information. Only a CEO in a modern American corporation (and politicians) can say something like that, to serious people, over a serious issue, involving serious money, and be taken seriously. Imagine that in other careers.

A semi-autonomous driving system seems like almost the worst compromise of all. Not smart or good enough to let you really ignore the driving completely, but good enough that you can get increasingly lax about paying attention and get away with it until it plows you into a car the same color as the sky behind it.
