It was clear that ms won't stop adding features aftwr version 3 or 4.i guess c# will be the: does all, can do all and includes all patterns, functions, methods from all other languages you can think of.

There seems to be no control, no feature lock, no "our language will be like language x" or definition they follow. It seems more like they listen to the whole community of developers.

All of them.

Not a good idea at all, I am never for censorship and I think we are losing sight of why freedom of speech is important which is insane to me.

It is good all these ideas are out there even if you don't agree with them. Shrouding them will only encourage it.

Strict absolutist and authoritative law/parenting almost always leads to acting out, while passive law/parenting let's knowledge decide individual choice.

Putting a stranglehold on knowledge that is bad will give people more desire to find confirmation biases in it. Let them naturally learn it is bad themselves.

This is just the Streisand effect and way too similar to what they do in China, like the censoring of Kim Jong Un fat memes[1]. Twitter just got political and that is not wise in business.

PINKY SPEAKING
No real reason for the account creation, boredom mostly (I lurk).

And I think that's the point. ISPs are precedent to show that a company being private isn't of itself a good enough reason to let it censor people. Google and Facebook are big enough that I think they should be considered public fora for speech. Hence the term "Gatekeeper" in the OP.
The NYT's numbers were based on the count as of Wednesday, Nov. 16. The final tally still hasn't been completely collected. You're referring to the day of the election, I think. The NYT is referring to the continuous counts (which still aren't done). That's not lying. That's reporting the changing facts as they were when the article was written.

Not sure why that's confusing.
I don't see "alt-right" as being so similar to "far-right" based on my limited exposure.

I've watched some debates with Milo as well as Gavin Mcinnes. They are definitely not what most Americans would call "far-right" -- in that they aren't anti-gay, aren't anti-drugs, aren't socially conservative, and aren't particularly hawkish. They seem to dislike Republicans like Paul Ryan almost as much as Nancy Pelosi.

Milo recently did a profanity-laden pro-Trump rally dressed in drag. That's the "alt" -- it's quite different than what a person would typically call Republican.
There was a study of addicted vietnam vets where they compared the addiction rate after returning home (a major environmental change)

And I believe the vast majority stopped using, so environment has some reinforcing aspect to addiction.
But at what COST. As a platform shaping measure, this is clearly an intentional measure to create a /specific/ different echo chamber. This is the mechanic that just created a Trump presidency.
He didn't say debating, he said listening.

Good riddance. Twitter shouldn't let itself be a recruiting platform for neo-Nazis and their ilk.

This is consistent with the ban on ISIS propaganda accounts, which was also a positive step towards combatting online extremism.
Wikipedia's guidelines explicitly permit both "limited autobiographical content" and a "small and proportionate amount of suitable unrelated material" on user pages. The linked page clearly falls within those rules.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:User_pages#What_may_...
Agree. The first thing I thought upon reading this was: would Twitter ban an account with the following description:

"dedicated to the heritage, identity, and future of people of African descent in the United States, and around the world."

Undoubtedly not. The only difference, of course, is s/African/European/g.

I'm a liberal, but I feel that if this election has taught us anything, it should be that suppression of "undesirable" views only makes them stronger. It's almost as if the Founders foresaw this somehow, and having done so, created some kind of First Alteration of the Constitution to protect this kind of speech, realizing that attempting to suppress it would cause more harm than good.

I do realize that Twitter is not the government, but the same principle applies.
I recently got locked out of my old bank account because I didn't use the SIM from my country of origin for 5 months. My mobile operator disabled my ~15yo phone number and I can't recover it without flying there and visiting their office with my ID.

That's why I also feel uneasy towards all these number-based messengers. They're targeted at users who rarely leave their countries.
I was thinking about this earlier. It's so silly. Neo Conservative was already taken so lets make up a new term to label people with. "I know, how about alt-right..."
It isn't just worse on Android it is BRUTAL on Android.

I was deeply unhappy with the 3x-5x widening iOS and Android JavaScript perf gaps through 2014 and 2015 (TL;DR Qualcomm has completely lost the plot) but in 2016, it's.. even worse.

The good news is, Ember 2.10 looks like a major speed improvement! The bad news is, Android is still 10x slower with Ember.

It would be a bit more even if Apple wasn't delivering substantial speed improvements, year after year, consistently.
Eh, when this happens to me I just hit ^C, since it's likely trying to apply syntax to the whole thing. At least I can do something in the editor immediately after.
Absolutely! I agree that one can write confusing/poor code in just about any language out there. But I didn’t try to highlight how horrible ES6 is..In fact I used ES6 features in the modified version of the original reducer’s code. The main point of the article was in that using new JS features blindly may cause the significant problems, not with readability, but with the script size and the running time of the code after it’s transplied to ES5. And it has to be transplied because it’s using ES7 features which even not in the specification.
I'd never thought of that before. Trump values his Twitter account quite a bit. What could he do if Twitter decided to suspend him as a protest?

I don't think this will ever happen, but it's an interesting hypothetical.
What about a tool that allows you to find and start a chat with someone currently reading a differently biased account of the same (or similar) events? I can't count the number of times this election that I wished I could discuss a Times article with a Trump supporter; I am sure there are plenty who wish they could tell me about the contents of a Breitbart article.
Well, one part of it that's potentially misleading is that the percentages add up to 100%, which means they're likely discarding the votes that didn't go to Clinton or Trump. It would be much better, IMO, if they included the vote breakdown and explained how they're deriving their numbers.
Send them a check?
If this isn't a joke, you're extremely self-entitled and you need to chill out if you get offended this easily.
While I think your point about needing a place to have conversations that can rectify the backwardness of Hate As A Platform (HAAP?) make sense, there are two points I would make. The first would be that some proof that Twitter was providing that exchange point would help, it seems like instead its a place for trolls and bots to roam free at the moment and Two, and perhaps this is the more important one - we should be hesitant to look to private companies as rights providers. Its not that private companies shouldn't have a conscience, but that we should be cognizant of where we are getting our rights from...
A CEO of a large software company is more than just a "good paying job" for Joe Sixpack over here. It requires experience, education, intuition - it's an incredibly unique position. It's not the kind of thing that you can just go to school for or train in some government New Deal program an then come out with six offers. What Bannon is speaking to isn't about helping the little guy get jobs, it's about getting 'Americans' (see: white) to be in these positions of powers.
"alt-right" is mostly just a term used by the Clinton campaign to label their political opponents as weirdos. I don't think I heard anyone using it before Clinton did. I suppose Richard Spencer used it.

Before the 2016 election, the term was "classical liberal". I don't know about Milo, but at least Alex Jones has described himself as a liberal.
> Those with the "correct" political views can basically tell people to kill themselves

That's just simply untrue. Hyperbole and lies don't help in these conversations. (And I say this as someone who thinks that Facebook and Twitter have no place being arbiters of "truth").

Downvoted to -4 on HN for saying that Twitter doesn't allow liberals special privileges to threaten violence on Twitter. Gotta just love this place sometimes, and by love, I mean that it's full of shit.

(I just want to tell you somewhere that you are not alone, and that I appreciate the time you are taking to have this conversation. The arguments you are making are the exact same things I am often found saying, and in my experience it takes hours of time alone in front of a blackboard with someone to really get them to understand concept like "everything can fail" and "memory is no different than disk space". The one thing I haven't seen you argue with yet is that functions which are adamant they can't fail today often find themselves in a position where they can fail tomorrow, such as by adding authentication or storage; this makes "explicit" error handling a limiting contract that either requires you to proactively return error codes from everything even when they only currently return Success, never extend the functionality of existing systems to avoid accumulating an error condition, be prepared to break that contract in the future, or fall back really really hard on panic.)
I can hardly call myself an expert on the "alt right" either, but the difference is in use of term.

When leftists think "Right wing" in the US think of the Christian theocracy. However, conservatism is only one sect of the right. The right is also reactionary, and the alt-right is definitely reactionary. I'd argue the alt-right fits nicely into Wikipedia's definition of far-right politics [1].

Yes, it was Joel's famous "servant leadership". We brainstormed ideas once a week on weekly calls (which became the podcast) and he trusted me (and Geoff and Jarrod, the first two people at the company after the founders) to build Stack Overflow as we saw fit.

I agree. I love ES6 in fact. The fat arrows really rock. I like how I can use them together with promises to write a concise code like

create_project(prj_name).then(project=>addTeam(project, team_name)).then(team=>addMember(team,name))

The main point of the article was in that using new JS features blindly may cause the significant problems, not with readability, but with the script size and the running time of the code after it’s transplied to ES5.
The comment about moving to set team norms and coaching your reports to be coaches themselves resonated with me. Over all. I agree with all the points except the one about being more socially media present as your role grows... Maybe that is true and I just don't want to accept it yet...

I'll charitably assume that you're arguing from a position of ignorance, not malice. Read before writing: https://www.gwern.net/In%20Defense%20Of%20Inclusionism

(1) The metric that matters, active user growth, has been declining since 2007.

(2) Right, the 1 MB of bandwidth I took up and 5 KB of storage space I consumed with userspace pages outweighs the hundreds of minor corrections I've submitted over the course of a decade. By the way, Wikipedia does have a shortage of editors relative to its popularity and potential.

(3) Deletionism destroys more information than it protects. This is easy to establish. Educate yourself.

(4) You are circularly using the status quo to justify itself without having explored alternatives and without having performed any research into the historical evolution of Wikipedia and Wikipedian culture. Again, educate yourself before posting.
There are several major "right wing" corporations that do just that. As a consumer you can make your choices accordingly (Hobby Lobby and Chick-Fil-A come to mind)

You might be inclined to grant someone permission to stand on your lawn, but chances are if they stood on your lawn and then held up a sign that said "Send Jews to the gas chambers!" you'd likely ask them to leave. And if they refused, you'd eventually force them to leave.

And calling that expulsion "enforcing your world view" would be a very extreme way of explaining what you did.
Yes, and the person you are replying to is suggesting 'consistently high quality' is a far better heuristic than trying to root out the bias.

Jetbrains are the only example I've come across that provide an option for native UI elements in Java apps.

To expand on your point.

What about the combination of fonts and UI elements I've chosen for my desktop environment. Will this new UI toolkit ignore those choices I've made and stick to using their own font?

It's bad enough already, for example on linux, where there are already two incompatible UI toolkits being used for the majority of applications, GTK and Qt. It's already difficult enough getting a consistent UI for applications that use both.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world just doesn't hardcode the font face, and we seem to survive without "encumbrance" problems.
I agree. We need safer languages. Not that I know much about safety. I still know we need it.
They may be in violation of the ToS with their merchant transaction processor, which is a bit of a self-solving problem if they get caught.
Why does everyone think censorship is the answer? The idea that "evil" ideas pollute minds is the same reasoning that neocons have for why Islam must be stopped. It's bizarre and farfetched.

Our values of free speech and free expression are far more important than the cringeworthy and extremely stupid things some people choose to say.

Twitter should not ban these accounts, or should it ban ISIS accounts or anything else. Twitter is a platform, not a curation service or thoughtcrime police force.

Thanks, great comment.

Mark my words, SpaceX is quietly working toward nothing less than a revolution in global data infrastructure, just as Tesla is working to accelerate a revolution in global energy infrastructure. Sneaking in some software, onboard storage, putting them on all Tesla cars, mesh networking the terrestrial base stations with MIMO links, etc.

Cars suddenly become a global peer-to-peer mesh sneakernet. It would be fun if Tesla distributed data via "pulses" between passing cars... (signed high resolution maps? deep learning connectomes? the latest Netflix original series? :D)

>Phased array flat panel antennas cannot be purely software steered sufficiently to track a low earth orbit satellite from horizon to horizon.

Righto. SpaceX plans to steer the beam down to 40° from the horizon. This also minimized path losses.

Drawing from the SpaceX filing: http://i.imgur.com/7zOZ7kr.png

>All Ku-band downlink spot beams on each SpaceX satellite are independently steerable over the full field of view of the Earth. However, user terminals at the customers’ premises communicate only with satellites at an elevation angle of at least 40 degrees. Consequently, as shown in Figure A.3.1-1 below, each satellite operating at an altitude of 1,150 km will provide service only up to 40.46 degrees away from boresight (nadir), covering an area of about 3.5 million square kilometers (1,060 km radius)

I feel like the left seriously damaged their ability to fight racist ideas when they abandoned the idea of equality.

Now, the left calls colorblindness and "all lives matter" racist. (Remember when Martin O'Malley was destroyed for saying that?) They create advantageous standards based on race, and even exclusive positions for non-white applicants. (For example, at the BBC.)

And I too doubt they would object to "dedicated to the heritage, identity, and future of people of African descent in the United States, and around the world."

MLK's dream that one day people would not be judged by the color of their skin was abandoned by the left before the alt-right rose to power, and I believe that helped the alt-right rise to power.

the media is kind of empowering the "alt-right" by constantly referring to them as the "alt-right". It presents it as the little guy vs The Man, and I think that makes it much more palatable than "far right."

Great observation and you hint at a simple solution - call them by their conventional moniker: the far-right. There's nothing new about their ideologies and "the far-right" elicit a different response from people than the newer and unfamiliar "alt-right".
Whatever social network he would then move to would gain many, many followers. That would be Twitter shooting itself in the foot.
Mate, this isn't about abstract philosophical disagreements over what Wikipedia is. Wikipedia is a private platform entitled to make and enforce its own rules about what it is and how it should be used, that you've been using for years and have no excuse for not knowing the obvious basic rules of, one of which is "don't abuse wikipedia by treating it as an all-purpose host for your personal data". You have zero grounds to be pissed, and zero entitlement to the time and effort of a volunteer moderator who saw someone blatantly abusing the site's hosting generosity. Not letting you use Wikipedia's servers as your personal cloud service has absolutely nothing to do with a perceived decline in the character or culture of the site.
