Thanks for this - I don't follow Go and until I read your post, I'd assumed that he was just a pissed off reddit user with no vested interest in Go outside his capacity as a moderator. The fact that he's a developer who is heavily involved in the product makes this a far bigger issue than I initially thought it was.

Announcing that he's stepping down as moderator as a result of this is his right and I'd completely support such a choice. Announcing that he's deleting his Reddit account and will no longer be involved in the Reddit community is a powerful statement given his position, and again, is a stance which I completely support whether I agree with him or not. Openly suggesting that other moderators also step down is perhaps a little OTT, but I still don't really have a major problem with it. If the Go team as a whole want to distance themselves from Reddit following this incident, that's understandable.

But if that's what they want to do, the way to do that is to recruit interested and active members of the subreddit to take over moderation duties. I'd go as far as to say that, with a community of 25,000 people, that is your duty as a moderator. Closing the subreddit completely shows a complete disregard for a significant proportion of your user population. Doing so on the ground of "unethical and immature" behaviour on the part of the CEO is more than a little hypocritical. Making your proposal on a separate platform so that those affected by your decision don't see it is unforgivable.

If you want to leave, fine. Taking your ball with you is just childish.

So the answer to censoring is more censoring, let's nuke an entire community just because I'm on a moral high horse!

Also I fully understand what Spez did and I find it not OK. If you don't agree with what an admin did, you could ask for the respective admin/CEO to resign. The answer should not be to delete a community that you don't own on a whim.

If Google started modifying my emails, I would stop using Gmail and advise my friends not to use Gmail. But I won't ask for Gmail to be killed/deleted just because I don't like it or I don't agree with it.
They already are communicating, on huge services like Twitter, that are constantly monitored. ISIS & JaN Surrogate accounts, as well as Assad Regime Loyalists (Which for some, count as Terrorists) freely use online services under the radar.

The time to stop encryption is gone. TOR & Signal have seen to that.
It may not be smart, but it definitely is not stupid as you might have insinuated.

Individuals deciding to exit because they disagree with company policy (editing content and apologizing) is one thing, forcing others, who don't care about stupid internet drama and conspiracy theories, to do the same is entirely something else. (that something else is borderline despotic)

They're not (necessarily) shit. They're just appropriate for a VERY specific purpose. A lot of companies that use them aren't using them right, or are using them in a scenario in which they are overkill. My company (medium-sized financial firm) uses them to protect the keys for our internal PKI. For these types of high-security situations, an HSM is ideal (if configured and managed properly). But I've seen places that use them to protect the SSL keys for webservers. While capable of doing that, an HSM is really overkill for that purpose. And, often results in them being mismanaged in the long run because the wrong teams end up responsible for them.

That, and it's very important to choose the right vendor. I've worked with pretty much all of them over the years, and some of them can be a nightmare to deal with. Some of the devices themselves are INCREDIBLY frustrating and should never have seen the light of day (much like some of their sales staff!)

This feels like when hitler got elected, but before he started WW2. The path has been chosen but the outcome undefined. Lets talk about whether this will be good or not?

I like half of the concept - having a discussion. But I think the topic, structure and timing are all wrong.

I'm curious to know what the original statement was that got mangled into this. Maybe the author heard ASCII instead of C? Not sure where numbercentric would come in, though.
If I was cynical I'd guess that it's too difficult to arbitrarily enforce the 'Go Community Guidelines' without criticism on Reddit.
I've been wondering how long it's going to be before we have enough computrons in our phones to do real-time full text voice recognition, with the aim of sending over a voice model to the other side (or not) and subsequently sending only text. You get huge compression for long conversations, making phone calls possible under stupidly bad bandwidth and packet loss constraints.
Can you elaborate on this? What do you mean "sub pennies?"
Yeah pricing was awful. I remember someone playing £12k for a single PA RISC CPU option and when they cracked it open to have a look it was 95% heatsink. Cue the "bloody expensive heatsink" comments.

It had about as much go as one of those "big slab" xeon slot CPUs at the time which was 1/10th of the cost.
I have no opinion whatsoever in this controversy about the golang sub. But I'd like to call out something in particular about the point you're making:

I see this kind of reductionism to what's "technically possible" a lot around here in regards to security and user trust. Let's go back to meatspace to get a more balanced perspective perhaps. Your mailman can read your mail and steal your packages. Your bank can steal your money. Your waiter can poison you. Your car mechanic can overcharge you.

It's not about what's "technically possible" (though a solution to make it technically impossible would be useful). It's about TRUST in another human being who is in a position of power. Trust is built by having a long record of good behavior and can be destroyed by a single bad action.

Social media addiction is a real thing - if you want to quit Facebook but don't want to deal with the hassle of installing browser extensions or deleting your account (Facebook deliberately makes this complicated), just log out from all your browsers and delete any installed apps.

If you depend on Facebook for managing a page (work, band, etc), just use the dedicated Pages application. Same applies for Messenger if you don't want to get rid of it.

It's helped me curb the ridiculous "CTRL+T, fa, enter" reflex - seeing the login page instead of my Facebook feed every time I do this makes me notice how out of hand this has gotten for me.
Even basics like "does the person/company building something own the land it is built on" can go horribly wrong.

We may "muddle through", but the "muddling" will be wars caused by agricultural collapse[0], deaths caused by trying to keep refugees of those wars at bay[1], and violence in "far away" places as the industrialized world seeks to maintain its standard of living in the process[2][3][4].

The disaster is already in full swing, I'm afraid. And attitudes like this are the old adage about frogs and boiling water. It may not look like it in Berlin, London, California (but then again[5]), Hong Kong, or Tokyo, but millions of people are suffering already. The best case right now is the industrialized world makes it at the expense of the "undeveloped" nations, but as Mark Blythe pointed out, the Hamptons is not a defensible position[6]. So it may be worth considering whether this head-in-the-sand approach is worth it, even from a purely self-interest point of view.

I'd love that job too really.

Well you can just point at Capita and say "it works better than their shit did".
Yeah, I guess that could work since I usually don't log in to my business accounts from anywhere else but my own computer, so even if it needs a bit of configuration it's not that bad.

Just an idea, is there any USB device class that could be used to get the date and time? such that if you configure the SC4 to work with TOTP, when you plug it in a USB driver is installed that allows it to query the date and time?
Again "stupid internet drama and conspiracy theories" this is not.

An admin abused their power. It's ripe for abuse and they've proven they're willing to abuse it and not mature enough to treat that power respectfully. I have a hard time respecting a company with someone like that as CEO. No conspiracy, no politics, just what happened.
I was married to such person for 8 years. I physically aged 40 years, and I got gray hair.

My best advice is to get out NOW if you can. Maybe things are working out now, but you are barely floating. Add normal family life into picture: children, job loss, some injury, any sort of accident... and you will sink to bottom faster than a stone.

> The sensible amongst us should be above childish drama like this.

Are there many sensible among us? Remember, this is an industry in which a CTO would fire an employee for using proper English[0]. It's an industry where a CEO called for employees who voted for a candidate he opposed to resign.

We passed the point of insensibility a long time ago.

Thank you for writing this. When people talk about these issues it becomes easier and more acceptable to society and it helps lessen anxiety stigmas.

As someone who suffers from anxiety and who regularly seeks therapy, I can say that the rituals that have helped me are:

- Realizing that anxiety isn't who you are, but more like a disturbance that will pass

- Eating, sleeping, exercising, and practicing mindfulness go a long way

- Knowing and dealing with the physiological reactions helps. Realizing that anxiety is a fight or flight response and is often based on fears of the future, which causes heart to race and breath to shorten. Therefore, simply forcing yourself to take large breaths and being mindful about the state of your body helps bring you back to the present and not let your mind get into "rabbit holes"

One piece of advice I have for you is to not take on the role of mental health professional in your relationship. This isn't your problem and you can quickly tire yourself out. All you have to do to support is help your wife accept her current state, and help remind her of living in the present. If her condition is severe enough, encourage her to see a psychiatrist in addition to a therapist too. It may help greatly.
The title could have been better and I think they should just make unofficial and hand it over to other mods, but he's hardly the only one unhappy with the current subreddit, because of the level of comments there and the existing lack of moderation.

Brad in all likelihood wrote some of the code that served you this page and, unlike most of the denizens of reddit, he has written a lot of useful code, your insult is unwarranted.
He pranked some pranksters. That's it.

This is about trust.

If a space where a community gathers isn't trusted, core members of that community are going to want to leave.

Trust is delicate. Trust is giving someone the power to do harm you or to misuse what you have given them, in the belief that they will not do those things.

The trust has been shattered, and probably only the core members currently realise this. Those are the users for whom "this is our voice, this is what we've said" is important.

It is really sad that the trust has been broken, but there you have it. If key people in any community believe that their words (which are their reputation) can (will) be edited, misrepresented... then there really is a problem.

The worst-case logical conclusions are legal liability, the best case is stress and friction caused by confusions and mis-truths.

I run forums, I know this is about trust, I've seen it played out.

When I designed the forum software for the sites I run I made the database an append-on-write system to store historical revisions of every comment. I can't display those (if a user edited something to remove something that had legal/personal implications then they should not be public) but I do store them and provide no moderator any access to edit them.

Trust is really important. This isn't, as others suggest, petty.
Technically this law covers logging at the ISP level for UK DSL and cable customers.

However in reality, the UK is tapping all undersea cables coming into the UK (so basically almost all transatlantic ones), and logging everything. https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2013/jun/21/gchq-cables-secre.... This is done under the Tempora program: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempora.

So any connections into the UK are also being logged. This map gives you idea of the scale of connections coing through the UK: http://submarine-cable-map-2016.telegeography.com/ and this map shows the taps that have been discovered as part of the NSA Snowden leaks: http://lifewinning.com/submarine-cable-taps/ (Source code: https://github.com/lifewinning/submarine-cable-taps)
Under what authority? Why would netflix cooperate with that?
Seems to me like it would require a complete leap of pure faith great enough for you to be able to believe in almost anything you choose, regardless of whether it was actually divine or not.

Beliefs worthy of being faithful to can often be traditional, other times realistic, sometimes both.

Given a choice, choose carefully what to believe and have faith in.

Most religious people are not given a true choice, on the one hand many of them might have been born with something you were not, on the other hand you might have been born with something out-of-reach for them.

Happy Holidays in all their forms.

If I follow your argument correctly, it is basically the same argument as "your C compiler is correct, what you've written is invalid and the standard allows undefined behaviour here".

Which may be a technically valid argument against the compiler/database system, but it's not a valid argument for defending the system as a whole: if a standard allows arbitrary execution instead of bailing out on non-standard (ambiguous) input, it is unreliable.
Learning Elm Part 4 – Property Based Testing and Better Modelling
Banking floods fiat ahead of wealth creation to capture labour. These guys didn't create billions in value. They didn't enable it either. They are part of a system that forces us to go to them, pledge our labour for the right to exist. You have the cart before the horse. They also do not allocate resources efficiently. Most bank lending is into land. These guys ride that to steal labour.

They do not add this much value, they appropriate it.
This is absolutely ridiculous. Who is coming up with these terrible policies?
Does it have to be Google, the company that already sucks up the most information about pretty much everyone on the internet? Why don't you send the data to your own machines?
I'm lost. Are you aware of the distinction between "quadratic probing" and "quadratic complexity?"
Uuh what? The store is not closed. Google maps says it is. Google maps has been wrong on closing times.

Anyone who listens to google maps without verifying at the source will be basing their decision on wrong information, which leads to loss of business to store owners, which is why it's scary for business owners.

Which is why if I go to a local business and feel it might be near closing time, I will verify at the source and not rely on Google maps.
I love what these guys are doing in general, and I really want to support them, but the industrial design of these machines is so almost literally 2005.

One of their guys was on the Linux Unplugged podcast this week talking about the 4K ORYX and getting canonical to tweak the 4K support (which was needed, in unity it was a bit wonky)

They seem to have good offerings if you want a big desktop replacement but their thin and light (eg lemur) look dreadful.

I hope they can manage to source something a little nicer on the portable end.

It takes almost zero effort to implement Piwik instead of giving all your data to Google. A simple donate button will take care of the costs of a $15 per month shared server for this purpose.

Willing to abuse it - that is conspiracy -. How do you know that something done once will repeat? Will google restart google buzz because they did it once?

Google as open forwarder
I just received a message via skype, no hi or anything - just to the guts - a link to google

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&url=%68%74%74%70%3A%2F%2F%37%37%37%63%6F%6D%2E%72%75&usg=AFQjCNGC3A0xDe0azxmOzcm5L4UlYlbbtQ&stoke#54009

from a contact I have not had any contact to from a while, which made me suspicious.

Turns out this redirects to some .ru domain (you know how to urldecode)

Don't get me wrong, from another contact I would have clicked this link w/o the blink of an eye.

So it seems some skype?spambot?worm?whatever is using google as open redirector.

I thought OWASP said those aint cool https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Top_10_2010-A10-Unvalidated_Redirects_and_Forwards but obv google didn't listen...

tl;dr

Don't click google links unless you _trust_ them.
I didn't know, thank you! I've edited my post so it doesn't misinform people.
Facebook doesn't win.

Which is good. Because it would be sad if collaborators in human oppression on the largest scale still happening in the modern era were the winners.
> streaming all that I need.

Are you streaming live broadcasts? Because that requires a tv licence.

> but TAX on online content? What is the point of that?

I guess to provide investment into the infrastructure, supported by heavy users. I'm not sure what the evidence is about usage of networks and streaming.
That's true, but sort of misses the point. Most regions have a dominant industry, and these industries change over time. Silicon Valley, to take your example, used to produce actual silicon devices. Los Angeles used to be a major petroleum exporter. Those jobs left, but no one cared.

People argue over "appalachia" and make false promises about coal (coal is dying whether anyone wants it or not -- other sources are simply cheaper now) because it workers a swing demographic in presidential elections.

I "don't have anything to hide".

But I can imagine some scenario where I am in a court and the opposing side have had access to my internet history. It wouldn't be very hard to paint me in a pretty bad light if you were very selective - much like the quote above.

Eg. "The defendant has previously looked at gun videos on the internet, reads hacker message boards, and once even read how to make TNT."
Thanks for sharing. I think its important to discuss mental health issues openly. They have a huge impact on our lives and are quite common (NAMI says 1 in 5), yet we tend as a society to shy away from talking about it and tend to have strange beliefs (they are just a negative person, they should just get over it, their thoughts will be contagious). I think many people never get the help they need because they aren't aware that help even exists.
Axler's book, "Linear Algebra Done Right", is widely considered to be one of the best texts on linear algebra that focuses less on the mechanics and more on the structure of linear operators on vector spaces.

As a matter of fact, I did start getting bulk wheat and grinding flour from it. When I started the experiment I had no expectation I'd end up making bread from scratch. Just one thing led to another and I started doing it. Now I can go from unground wheat berries to a hot loaf of bread in under an hour, so it's more convenient than buying, on top of being cheaper, healthier, and tastier. I haven't bought bread from a store since.

Getting a pressure cooker helped a lot too, which made cooking dry legumes quick and easy.

What if Netflix dropped their price to compensate in California. The combination of the tax along with Netflix's good gesture would give them huge positive publicity.
