Just to give an example of how this would sound if it were reversed:

Liberals are inciting violence using paid operatives(probably including the recent riots), have shot Trump supporters, use powerful institutions(Twitter, universities, etc.) to shut down speech they disagree with, and their most recent presidential candidate has historically been opposed to gay marriage and took foreign money from a country that executes gays. Liberals are also very racist, using zoning laws to exclude minorities from their gated communities in California.

Rattling off a bunch of hate every time you think of the other side is how you get angry people.

Then why would he say otherwise?
Why thebookrocket.com chose Hyper.sh
True. People flocked to Twitter to hear general opinion, which the press didn't provide. That is changing.

They have also been controlling the trending #hashtags; trying to channel only certain type of discussion.

Yeah I figured the "rules" to write a native module for a while, but there is no tutorial, no support at all, which makes me rather uncomfortable, and I am never confident with that code.
Still, if there's nobody at the 'top' making decisions (and unless the CEO micromanages there isn't) then we've just moved the problem from Engineers to Middle Managers.

Somebody has to take a stand. In Canada they have an Engineering oath and code of ethics. We should all aspire to be our better selves. After all, we're not being executed; we'll just have to find another contract.
Can you point to some of those actions? I'm having trouble finding any evidence that shows they should be banned.

Now, I think their viewpoints are disgusting too. But their views don't affect people, their actions do.
How do you know the result of a completely different kind of election? The candidates would obviously campaign differently in the case you are describing.
This is clearly a satirical response to the type of logic used by white supremacists to bolster a concept of genetic superiority over other ethnicities. Imagine just for a moment being black and hearing the inverse of this statement every day online

>I don't understand how any man can be offended by the killallmen hashtag

You say don't understand. Do you want to?

They clue to your lack of understanding is in the first part of the sentence

> As an able bodied straight male working in tech

Perhaps if you imagine yourself to be someone else in another background, place, circumstances you can begin to see why a hashtag which appears (if one was unfamiliar with the history of it) to advocate the killing of millions might be offensive to some people.

You might even come to the conclusion that while you don't find it personally offensive you can understand that some might find it troublesome.
Those things don't match up like you think they do. The equivalent of /r/The_Donald banning users is equivalent to /r/politics banning anyone who posted critically of Clinton between July and the election (even though The_Donald only claims to support Trump whereas Politics is intended to be more unbiased).

These are subreddits with their own admins managing them. Twitter as a company is banning users from their entire platform. The equivalent would be Reddit as a company banning very liberal users.
hi, i work with the Clarity team as well (Scott M.)

regarding keeping pace with the Angular team, one thing worth noting is that we were up-to-date with Angular 2 Final within two days after its release.

i think we're good on that.
The even bigger problem is we're assuming they were banned for "hate" speech because Twitter hasn't even said why yet. If they took down tweets that they felt were hate speech and communicated to the speaker and the community I would be more okay with it. A silent ban of dozens of accounts is their right as a business but I'll still say it's a stupid decision.
Are you kidding me? Those who identify as "alt-right" aka Far Right are definitely racist and nasty folks and you can easily see it by reading through their screeds and "jokes."

In the US, they have a right to express themselves, but they do not have a right to be accepted as decent and normal people.
"reminds me of" != "is".
Imagine this built into a USB-C power adapter you could loan to a coworker, "leave behind" or install into a co-working space or coffee shop. Don't even need physical access in that case, just need to be a "Good Samaritan".
> still creates very good abstractions and classifiers.

My point is that "good" and "bad" are not objective here, but depend on human use-cases.

Now to be clear: I'm not disagreeing with you! These are good abstractions, for humans. It lets us communicate concepts easily, which is great! But it might not be the best abstraction in every circumstance.

For example, I recall reading an article that said that AI is better at spotting breast cancer from photos (which is essentially interpreting abstract blobs as cancer or not). The main reason seems to be that it is not held back by the human biases in perception.
GitHub responding very slowly, “All systems operational”
It seems Twitter just follow some political will from left/liberal camp. "Freedom of speech" and "democracy" we all know and love.
I have always avoided nsaids if I can, and when I have to take them I always am asked to also take previcid to protect my stomach. I very quickly start to lose hunger and have stomach issues without something else to protect against the nsaid.
What about a keyboard? How are you going to log in if your computer won't accept the keyboard that you are trying to plug in?
Part of Trump's argument has been "the system is rigged" so this support it, especially once you consider that Twitter did not ban people calling for protests during the Arab Spring. In fact, the State Department - run by Hillary Clinton at the time - specifically asked for Twitter to keep accounts open and information flowing.

This is ideal for Trump and crew.

In the US, the Net Neutrality position describes internet access as a utility, not a luxury. Further the UN declares it a Human Right. If either/both of those positions hold, then the gatekeepers - Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc - suppressing any view or blocking access to any group could be a violation of human rights.

I think that will have to be settled in court, but it will get messy for those companies.
tl;dr: I don't do it that way. Therefore, that way is wrong.

I don't think it's painting one group as a whole at all. No one is suggesting that all or most Trump supporters are racist. Only that many alt-right figure heads are.

It's not a heavy claim. With Steve Bannon being appointed to the upcoming White House staff, there's been a parade of examples illustrating the blatant racism of alt-right figureheads.

While I appreciate the sentiment that Democrats lost the election by painting much of the population (uncritically) in very broad unflattering strokes, I don't really think the trend of people saying "Well you just can't talk about a group of people as a whole" is going to last. If you're unwilling to discuss groups of people as a single entity, the entire field of social science makes little sense.

I think maybe that we've lost sight of the fact that any time we talk about a group of people, we're really implicitly having a statistical discussion.
Yup. It's a different culture.
You mean versus Hillary's "can't we just drone him" statement?

What about the people saying assassinate Trump or kill white people... When will their accounts be banned?
Have you not heard of the Nation of Islam?

You know that the 7/7 Dallas shooter (Micah Johnson) was inspired by black supremacist hate speech, right?
I disagree. Even if the boss found somebody else to do it, the fact that somebody had stood up and said no would make a difference. It still would provide an example to other employees. Behavior is contagious. You have more power than you think. If everyone sits back and says "I can't act ethical until we have big political and social changes", I can guarantee you that those changes will never occur. Somebody somewhere has to start the ball rolling, even at some personal cost, or nothing will ever change.
Seconds after taking this screenshot, they updated to "Major service outage".

The Github web interface is working for me, but it's very sluggish.

Or maybe everyone on Facebook unfriends people with differing opinions anyway so it would only benefit those within the white supremacist echo chamber.
GitHub is down
GitHub is experiencing major outage
how many hours per week?
The github api return the memory footprint of each programming language per repository e.g: C++: 3000bytes, Ruby: 2000+ bytes. It's just about retrieving your list of public repos and going though all of them. Solution is not perfect, I assume 1 byte = 1 char, 25 char is 1 line, plus frameworks like ruby mess up the count, but it's something :D
Jacksonian Democracy
How can you be racist against the ruling, privileged class? Sure, white people can have it bad too, but we still have all the privilige and automatic perks. It isn't bigotry as much as self defense against how many white people are still deeply entrenched in racism. As a whole, white people are still oppressors.
Major service outage on GitHub
My phrasing was a little muddy.

It's not really relevant whether Snapchat does data mining behind the scenes. But their brand is built upon ephemeral data. The exact opposite of Google.

It has nothing to do with "short memory" when the public reacts less creeped out than when google tried to push a similar product.
A classic battle example was the Pusan perimeter from the Korean War, the NK had a staggering numerical advantage and pushed the US into the peninsula, the one with a perfectly operating seaport, which we flooded with people, supplies, material, but the NK didn't have air superiority so the US mauled the NK logistics system, and a few weeks/months later the NK had to walk home with no ammo or food.

Of course there are limits to that strategy as the Chinese proved that if you're willing to lose 20 to 1 ratio you can simply deploy millions of infantry and ignore logistics, admittedly most of them will die, and regardless of logistic support next thing you know we're back south at the original DMZ.

The situation in Khe Sanh was similar, OK you're outnumbered 10 to 1 and surrounded, that's sustainable for months as long as the airdrops keep coming in. Of course Dien Bien Phu was an example where the airdrops didn't come in and the French were wiped out. After the war Gen. Westmorland was savaged in the press, Trump style, for making fun of Gen Giap for being the worlds most predictable one trick pony, but now that the politics and tempers have cooled its "OK" to admit the general only had one strategy that he used basically every time. Of course, in the end, it eventually worked, so losing 90%+ of your battles is OK if the enemy eventually goes home in defeat.

The particular situation with pepe the frog is a bit more nuanced than news sources let on.

He went from "Feels Bad, Man" comics to being very frequently photoshopped with 3rd reich / swastikas / other neo-nazi logos.

Pepe is an interesting case because it brings up the discrepancy between trolling (messing with others in "bad fun") and actual people who vehemently support and push aggressively hateful messages.
I dunno, man, there's only so much tech can do. There's not much an app or CLI can do for the economy or civil rights legislature, for example, and those are the two biggest problems for me.

Hi water42, I think material2 and other frameworks are fine frameworks and are worth your consideration.

We really built Clarity because we were in your position. No framework out there was able to provide us with what we needed to ship high quality, enterprise software but with modern and consumer-like UIs. We needed that framework to care deeply about user experience (not just provide code) and we wanted to make sure that framework is flexible enough that teams across the company (before we open sourced) can have the ability to understand it, build on top of it, etc.

We really looked around and every time we found something it had a part of the puzzle but not really enough of a part that we can depend on it.

Clarity does not depend on material (the design language), we are definitely inspired by material and others but we're building an end to end design system which includes the user experience and visual language aspects. Behind the components and patterns is a ton of research that we've doing throughout the past few months (and sometimes years depending on the data we have) and want to continue to do. One of our goals is to also share that research in case you can reach different conclusions so the community is able to keep us moving in the right direction.
Twitter is a (going bankrupt) common carrier. Lawsuits?
Indeed. Oddly, the status page said everything was A-OK despite several of the graphs showing major spikes.
Along those lines, I found it interesting that of the request for "guitar", I drew one with arm from top-right to bottom-left. So did 17 others on the results page. 3 were vertical-no-slant, and only one went from top left to bottom right.

Did we all see the same picture book growing up? Are most righties drawing it one way and lefties another (to which I would be a counter-example)? the guitar from top-left to bottom-right didn't look wrong at all, but why were most drawing it the other way?

Also, no one drew an electric guitar. Shame on us humans. This is fascinating to me more for the human-view than the ML piece...
Do you know anyone with long term chronic pain?
> /r/The_Donald echo chamber bans anyone with a counter view to their own.

When you know there are super PACs literally spending millions of dollars to manipulate people on sites like Reddit, and other subreddits (like /r/HillaryClinton) also ban all dissenting opinions, why would you leave yourself so vulnerable to attack? Just so you can brag about occupying the moral high ground?

Reddit's completely opaque, volunteer moderator system guarantees that every single subreddit is biased in one way or another. /r/The_Donald was only doing what was necessary to create a community where people could discuss Trump without being berated and silenced by downvotes.
A great example of what? I'm having trouble working out what's upsetting you here.

It is about applying the same rules to everyone. Plus it is illegal in many countries.

Welcome to the future where everyone is surrounded by a virtual reality bubble that endlessly strokes their ego by reinforcing their preexisting beliefs.

Honestly I see a lot of people doing this and agitating for it. Everyone wants a "safe space."
There's actually a decent canary to determine whether this is the opening salvo of a purge.

If Twitter bans @ScottAdamsSays - whom some have called a Trump apologist but who doesn't seem overtly racist - then we'll know the purge is on.
Hate exists on both sides. If you want to ban the hate from one side, why not ban the hate from all sides?

Both sides have a lot of racism (and other forms of hate in general), but they likely look and feel quite different to very partisan observers. Once you start banning users for whichever type of hate you happen to dislike more than the others, things can go downhill quite quickly.

Increasing the transparency around this subject would improve the situation. If twitter wants to ban people due to their speech, users should at least be informed why those users were banned, so that they can decide for themselves if they agree or not.

The nation of Islam is a horribly depressing group also standing on a platform kf misogyny and anti semitism. They are an extremist group that luckily has been waning in recent years. Also, unlike white people, they have never held a monopoly on power, instated discriminatory laws, stopped white people from securing proper jobs or housing, or became police offers that then killed white people with impunity.
Nobody has provided evidence of any bad behavior of the banned accounts.
Compared to text, creating and editing and watching video is incredibly time consuming. At least if quality is any sort of concern...e.g., writing a script is a 'best practice' for producing good video content; many video edits require reshooting; and there's no good technique for skimming video while picking up the important points.

That's outside of the attraction of video to naked people.

> The USA seems set to embark on a terrifying policy of mass deportations in a few months

I really wish the MSM would stop burying facts in the story and out of the headlines. Not that I agree with it, but Trump has stated time and again that he wants to deport people in the US illegally who ALSO have a criminal record. There was some stat from the gov. that ~1.9 million illegals also have some criminal record, and that matches the figures he has thrown around.

My point is that the hyperbole in these discussions means that no one will ever come together. People need to act more like President Obama now that the election is over, and figure out how to make the best of a situation they may not like. Democracy will go on.
Not really. We are going to wipe out that tendency by educating people better.

Educated people, on the whole, tend not to be racist, bigoted fascists.
Twitter IMHO is a very poor medium for public communication. It is very difficult to discuss complex issues like gender relations or the dynamics of immigration in a sober, thoughtful, nuanced manner via streams of 140 characters. In the former in particular I actually feel there's a definite case where Twitter amplified division; the notorious "SJW vs MRA" storm advanced little if any productive discussion and merely put people in opposing camps lobbying grenades at the other side.

If this is now "mandatory" for public communication now, I feel that's a huge downgrade from public communication methods in the past.

That's exactly what I and others have been arguing. Now to be clear: it's not that these classifications are wrong, just that out of all possible classifications we could have found, we will most likely find the ones that fit the human perspective of the world.

Think of the Turing test and its criticisms; it's kind of has the same issues.

Those things can't be meaningfully separated from the market.

Exploiting inefficiencies in a competing algorithm is the same type of thing as exploiting inefficiencies in the mental model of the guy standing next to you. Taking advantage of better market proximity is the same type of thing as drinking less than the other guys in the pit.

some people don't want to text, regardless if you're on an iphone or not. I've had people I just don't talk to much anymore because they only want to use iMessage and hate when it's the different color for someone out of the ecosystem.
As much as I disagree with the views of the "alt-right" (why not call them far right by the way?), I can't help but be astounded that we've opened that can of worms? Who got to decide who should be banned? Isn't Twitter basically free speech? Why are we even drawing lines to begin with? As soon as you do that, someone else with a different world view will start banning the accounts of transgenders, community organizers, since we're now basing our judgment of Twitter accounts on subjective criteria.

People have a right to follow/unfollow accounts and we should leave it at that.
Twitter was asked for a statement, and has declined to comment.

Which is a shame, because if they're banning a bunch of abusive harassing arseholes that's a good thing and I want to know about it.
