If you're saying that Nazis choose to be Nazis, then could you choose to become a Nazi? I don't mean pretend to be one, or act like one, but actually believe their disgusting ideology. If you couldn't choose to do that, then presumably they didn't choose to either, and they couldn't choose to not believe their ideology. And maybe gay people could choose not to enter gay relationships, and maybe them having that ability still isn't a good reason for businesses to discriminate against them.
> It's an outrage that businesses that want to enjoy all the benefits of selling to the public can discriminate against members of that public for any spurious or bigoted reason they like.

I don't think that Cloudflare (or any company) should be legally obligated to work with someone they don't like. (Besides, do you really want your wedding cake baked by someone who hates you?)

However, I think it's a moral and practical travesty that companies have the ability to effectively deplatform people from the modern internet. It's our responsibility as technologists to make sure that you cannot be silenced, whether you're a persecuted minority or someone who would persecute minorities. Having political gatekeepers to the internet is bad for everyone in the long run.
What code of ethics doesn't have an exception for Nazis?
I think part of it is room simulation. I might be wrong, but I don't think PannerNode supports things like the room materials like in the 2nd demo
You must need glasses.
560Eur/month is a very "basic" income indeed. Where I live that might cover you rent if you have a bunk in a share house nowhere near a city. It's as good as no money if you have a family to care for. Of course it's a nice addition if you have a job, but without a job it's as good as nothing.
LGBT sites are pretty safe because there are anti discrimination laws that would enable a lawsuit with a high chance of success when discriminated against for that reason. Good luck trying to establish Neo Nazism as a protected class under the law.
This is really very hard to fix the problem. So you have unsubscribed because there are too much media to digest available? You must be an extreme minority with a problem like that.
Free speech, freedom of conscience, and non-discrimination are moral principles that go beyond US federal statute. "US federal law doesn't precisely reflect your moral standpoint" isn't a very good argument against a belief.
Ok, this is a valid viewpoint as well as long as you find a way to do it.

For me though it is even simpler: advocating nazism means you are planning to kill.
Right, by a similar logic, there was never a demand for automobiles, so we can get rid of them without any loss.

> I seem to recall that a contract that allows one side to unilaterally withdraw for unspecified reasons is not a real contract

I certainly hope you're wrong. Because I've "unilaterally withdrawn from" (i. e. "canceled") literally hundreds of contracts, and I don't remember ever giving a reason.
But then, people feel the need to consume news.

I can easily forego watching a TV series. There are only a couple of "must watch" TV shows at any given time.

I already have a huge backlog of shows to watch/finish. I honestly don't care if I never watch a new TV show again

We already do that all over. It's called consulting.

The outcome isn't higher quality or better work, just capture of perceived value. The super productive developer has a risk/reward ratio. When you get a little older, stability has a value of its own.
Some companies are so top heavy and tenured they simply don't care. Executives run the show and they could care less who comes and goes.

C# 7 does allow one to shorten that class a bit further. I saw this trick in the MEAP[0] of C# in Depth.

public Guid Z { get; }

public TestClass(int x, string y, Guid z) => (X, Y, Z) = (x, y, z);

Believing that they are too important to remove impediments from people doing the actual work.
Well, ISIS has a large internet presence.

#1 in my book is sunk cost fallacy.

Everywhere I've worked, the folks running the show have too much ego and political capital invested in products or projects that are turds. The result is massive financial losses for the business.
They are done in order to protect the little guy, due to the high risk associated with the high reward.

Otherwise, you will get people that have negative net worth, maybe $20k in credit card debt + student loans that they pay minimums on, and a few kids dumping a year of savings into Snapchat and losing it all.

While it sucks for small players that are ok with high risk investing (and would be ok losing it), there just isn't a way to stop the flood of stupid that would come with it.

Probably the closest thing I've seen to being able to invest in something like this is cryptocurrecy,

I've always heard this is the Netflix model.

> difference between developer salaries at any company varies by maybe 50%, whereas the productivity varies by at least a full order of magnitude.

I like your thought process but do you really believe this is possible? There are few fields where you can observe order of magnitude differences in salary. As you said, human nature seems to reject this, likely because it does not really occur in the wild. Even in sports it is rare for a particular position to have pay disparity to that degree.
There is no such thing as "done" software. Everything program that is written must be maintained but PHB's never even consider maintenance costs.

Consequently, there is no such thing as a "build" and "maintain" phase of software. Something that takes 10 developers to build will take 10 developers to maintain.
So if someone chooses to follow evil red anti-American socialist beliefs, it's presumably OK to censor and deplatform them, right? Normalizing political censorship is how you get McCarthyism and the Red Scare. Normalizing political violence is how you get pogroms. It does not matter who the first victims are; you cannot control how the tides will turn in the future.

Private internet services of many kinds prohibiting use for “adult” content much more broadly than pornography is routine, and has been for a long time.
> How were they not fascists, for all practical purposes?

What does fascists even mean these days?

Real fascists wounded my grandfather and he pushed them back all the way to Berlin. My teacher wintessed German soldiers raping and dismembering their childhood friend.

It seems these days I see a lot of "everyone I don't like is a fascist". Trump is a fascist, the barista this morning who made me a late instead of a cappuccino is a fascist, etc. Pol Pot committed terrible attrocities that doesn't make him a fascist, he was Communist.
How is your guess about other people useful info?
I just answer the call and don't say anything. After a few seconds the robot makes a few beeps and hangs up. Presumably the software waits to hear the recipient say something before starting the recording.

I hope it marks the number as bad when this happens. I will say that I have received fewer calls since I started doing this.

If it is a real person calling you, they'll sense the silence and say "hello? Anyone there?" or something.
When I had a corporate job, they were overly controlling about schedules and how much you could earn in a way that was completely unnecessary and that I felt came back to bite them. People who wanted more money would take on part time jobs for evenings and weekends. Then, when management tried to put a gun to our head and insist we work overtime, these people had prior commitments and couldn't be there. Bonus points for the whole atmosphere of fear with the entire approach of trying to pressure people to work overtime on demand, at the convenience of the company.

None of this was really necessary. Every single year, they watched the backlog of work gradually climb over the course of the summer. Then, around September, they began insisting on overtime at psychological gun point to try to clear the backlog. It would have been entirely possible to allow people who met certain quality standards to work some overtime during the summer and cap how much could be worked. People could have competed for overtime slots instead of feeling forced into it. It would have worked vastly better for everyone.

Of course, an elegant solution like that takes a bit more planning on the end of management. Simply demanding extra hours at a certain point is a simpler, brute force method. But, I felt it had a lot of downside to it and was mostly avoidable for the company in question.

It makes me wonder how many companies basically create drama of this sort. Because this crisis was entirely created by management, IMO. There was zero reason they had to wait until it hit a certain volume and then force overtime on us.

You'd need a way to measure productivity.

In a team environment that is not so easy.

Is it the code, the communication, the business sense, building a good team? Who made that million? And who only made 10 bucks?
This! In the same vein, believing that "this time" the team will work faster because of lessons learned. Refusing to accept that historical performance really is the true performance of the team. Failing to account for the previous project completing almost on schedule only because of major overtime. Etc etc.

On my first project I learned that every time a PM said the word "hope" (as in "I hope we can meet this deadline") that we were screwed. It was said a lot.
> Yes people whose namesake is derived from a group of people that committed genocide is where I draw my line

Man, then you'd have to include all the communists, including Mao's party (that's still in power in China).

I'm not sure if this is the right approach. By doing such things, I think they actually are helping the white supremacists. They won't think they did something wrong there, they think they sold legitimate shirts just like Gay Pride(or whatever) and got shutdown for their opinion, which confirms their idiology/conspiracy theories/hate.

I think the answer for alt right is more debate / speech /facts, but e.g. instead in germany they are just passing new laws for censoring facebook and violators even got search warrants. Again wrong way imo, deleting their Facebook post doesn't equal changing their opinion, it rather confirms their idiology.
Right. I work remote for an SF startup and I live on the beach in southern California. Literally in a house on the beach, five minutes walk to the little beachtown downtown area with bars and restaurants. And I pay a hell of a lot less than I paid when I lived in SF.

Still love that city, though.
Care to elaborate?

I don't know a ton about Zcash or Monero, I only know that Zcash advertises and actually produces truly anonymous transactions (that the founders can unmask, or so I have read).

Is Monero anonymous as well? For every transaction? Or only specific ones (like Zcash).

The thing is, it doesn't have to be Nazis or ISIS in control. It just has to be people with a different ideological and moral framework from your own.

As an example, the CEO of Cloudfare stated the removal of Daily Stormer was an arbitrary decision made by him, because he "woke up in a bad mood and decided to kick them off the Internet" and as CEO he had the power to do so [0], so what happens if the CEO of a Cloudflare-like service is a staunch Christian and starts removing sites based on that?

Or as more realistic example, the Republicans control the house, the senate and the presidency.

They came quite close to having a super-majority in the Senate, and who knows what will happen in the 2018 mid-terms.

For many Republicans, things like abortion and LGBT rights are moral issues and if they get a super majority it's not unthinkable that they will push to remove or criminalize things that they are morally opposed to.

From the ACLU's post on why they are defending Milo Yiannopoulos [1]

"But the sad reality is that many people think that speech about sexuality, gender identity, or abortion is over the line as well. They’ll say that abortion is murder, civil rights advocates are criminals, or LGBT advocates are trying to recruit children into deviant and perverse lifestyles. If First Amendment protections are eroded at any level, it's not hard to imagine the government successfully pushing one or more of those arguments in court. "

I know Cloudfare is a private company and so from a legal perspective this is not a freedom of speech issue, but beyond the law, freedom of speech as a general principle is something that needs to exist in the hearts and minds of those making the law, and actions that erode that, especially from entities that wield enormous power over communications infrastructure, set dangerous precedent.

Nobody fought and won war---to the conclusion of unconditional surrender---against an army and ideology of the LGBT community.

Nazism didn't go through some kind of Martin Luther style academic and cultural reformation in the last 80 years. Neo-Nazis are the same as the original Nazis. They have the same ideology & the same ambitions. They're literally incompatible with Western liberalism & enlightenment.

Neo-Nazis are just late-stage Third Reich acolytes, sympathizers, and insurrectionists. They're still trying to fight a war that they lost to terms of unconditional surrender. It's frankly shocking that they're given the deference of being just yet another political voice in the diverse landscape of voices. They are not. Very, very few modern political movements were defeated explicitly at the tip of a spear instead of the stroke of a pen. Nazism is in scarce company in that regard.

There's no point at all to engage any of it as though Nazism is the same as normal political speech. Allowing for ideological recidivism and re-litigating WWII sort of defeats the purpose of having fought that war and conquered them to begin with.

It would make way, way more sense to consider them enemies of the state and deal with them as such.
Philosophies of life like Buddhism and Stoicism came about in times that were much less comfy than even the sad reality we have to endure. I am not saying people shouldn't demand things of society (quite the opposite, I think the level of organizing among the poor is the root of many of the issues we are seeing today), but I am saying that they can benefit from separating their happiness from the fulfillment of those demands.
The root of the problem is really the botnets. If it weren't for the DDOS attacks anyone could put a server online cheaply and communicate with their relatively small and fringe audience. But because we are incapable of enforcing laws against DDOS attacks you need to be a big a player to stay online.
That's a fallacy because "free speech" is not unlimited - every civilization recognizes its existence is the result of limiting specific freedoms in order to guarantee everyone other freedoms.

Germany, among others, outlaw this kind of content because they experienced the end result first-hand. Perhaps the US should learn from them.
Thanks! I'm confused about what this is, exactly, from the description:

> Songbird is a JavaScript API that supports real-time spatial audio encoding for the Web using Higher-Order Ambisonics (HOA). This is accomplished by attached audio input to a Source which has associated spatial object parameters. Source objects are attached to a Songbird instance, which models the listener as well as the room environment the listener and sources are in. Binaurally-rendered ambisonic output is generated using Omnitone, and raw ambisonic output is exposed as well.

My confusion is that The Web Audio API [1] also supports real-time spatial audio for the Web [2]. It looks like Ambisonics is a format that encodes spatial audio into a fixed set of audio channels, rather than just playing audio into PannerNodes directly.

Some questions: (1) Is Songbird indeed an alternative to the PannerNode API like I'm suspecting? (2) If so, why would you want to downmix your audio into a set of intermediate channels, rather than play each source directly into a PannerNode? (3) Is there any advantage to using Omnitone, which I suspect does the HRTFs, rather than using a PannerNode and its HRTFs directly?

Task mastering. Ie a Focus on pumping through the JIRA tickets or equivalent as fast as possible. Meaning no time for respite or learning. Meaning lots of shitty metrics and pressure / humiliation if you don't meet them. I get a weekly report of tasks that took more than 25% over estimate within the team and names, for example. It doesn't help that anyone else can log time against my JIRA either. A three person meeting could burn up all the time.

There are good reasons to want to work at a startup. The biggest is that you'll be allowed to get in over your head more so than you will at a more established company and putting yourself in sink-or-swim situations is the fastest way to learn to swim, so to speak. After having been through two acquisitions now, I've grown faster during the "whatever it takes" periods than I have in the golden handcuffs times that followed.

But the rough formula I've followed is to calculate my "investment" in the company and compare it to the company's other investors. I look at the company's last round and figure out how much the investor(s) paid and what percentage the investor(s) got. Then I can look at the offer and see what percentage I'm getting and work out how much that would have cost in the most recent round. If the salary hit I'm taking is considerably more than that, I either ask for more equity or walk away. If a company won't give me the information necessary to perform this calculation, I walk away.

It's not perfect, but it's close enough that I can make a somewhat logical decision and not simply cave in to my preference for working in a startup environment. Investor's shares can be somewhat more valuable due to liquidation preferences and other favorable terms, but employees can also get retention grants if the company is acquired, so I haven't figured out a way to balance those considerations.
Yeah, at least he should take down also the credit card fraud boards, they are doing real harm.
Since the argument is gone, i see no reason not to do that.
Well, there's no need for pointless hypothesizing about what might happen, because this is actual Nazis. It's not "[just] people with a different moral or ideological framework" -- it's people who are declaring their allegiance to a group that literally killed millions in the name of racial purity.

Freedom of speech does not apply to those who would take away your freedom of speech with what they are advocating (in this case, killing us). This is the nature of the paradox of tolerance. We need not and must not be tolerant of the intolerant.
