Sending snail mail is pretty easy too. If you were to switch to only communicating via snail mail, do you think your invites to social events would drop? The events probably didn't want you anyways, since they couldn't be bothered to just send you the snail mail via this simple internet service. They're not your real friends.

Why does this story about CF dropping the Daily Stormer have not simply one comment saying "Good."? Why is there even a discussion? No one is defending it explicitly, but many do implicitly.
"In my experience, the 10x programmer is a bit of a myth. "

I think it depends on Industry / Role. A creative person in Advertisment or a good chip design engineer or someone great with Algorithm are often worthy of 10 or 20X compensation. Whats wrong is that many people think 10X guys can exist on Application layer / Front end. I think its very hard to do that
I fail to see why there should necessarily be this tention between free speech and privacy?

I don't plan on ever visiting the US, especially with its current administration, but if I were to visit then I'd just take a £20 burner phone and no other tech. Anything I need I can put in to any number of cloud services and get it when I'm through the pointless interrogation.

So LSU has a license with Elsevier, and LSU's School of Veterinary Medicine had a license with Elsevier.

How come LSU acquired two licenses in the first place? Was there a merger of LSU School of Veterinary Medicine with LSU? Has LSU SVM always been under LSU? Was the LSU license negotiated after?
The false equivalence is in the original argument ("accountable to anyone"), that's what the grandparent was attempting to point out.

Replace like 3 words in your comment, and I could make it into a rant advocating persecution of Communists. Which has happened before in the US. But it's ok now because it's against your political enemies?

Second, no they are not. They are a tiny tiny percentage of the population. They have been losing power and numbers for decades. They get little representation in the mainstream and in the media. When they speak up with their beliefs or attend a protest unmasked, they often lose their jobs. They are not even remotely a serious threat. Just like communists during the Red Scare.
No, I mean "try big complicated programs, see whether they fail or not, narrow down what's going wrong". What we need to do is get the expected cases to work. AFL is good for checking that weird corner cases don't blow up, but we don't care so much about those for user-mode, because by definition we allow the guest app to call any syscalls it likes -- you don't need to overrun a buffer to run arbitrary code because you're already running arbitrary code. (Also, there are a number of things that are technically permitted and supported by a native Linux kernel but which QEMU's user-mode emulation doesn't support, but which don't matter because real-world programs don't use those corner cases. AFL can't tell the difference between "bug that doesn't matter" and "bug that real code will hit".)

You know how when you recommend to someone that they should start going to the gym, they always have a laundry list of problems?

"It's too far away", "I don't trust them with my credit card", "I don't like exercising in front of people", "I need to be careful of my back", "I don't have time after work and I can't show up sweaty".

Ultimately, they just don't want to go to the gym. Nothing on that list is hard to solve, if you decide to go to the gym. If you don't have any drive to go to the gym, it's an unscalable and infinite wall of problems.

I can give you solution to the problems you've listed. In my experience, people will use other messenger solutions if you just ask them. Facebook users are a demographic that care nothing for installing another app on their phones. Pick one, and ask people to use it. Try wickr. There are dozens of online event organizers that can replace facebook's event RSVP, although I generally just talk to people like a human being.

If the music events you enjoy are promoted /only/ on facebook, then they're relatively niche affairs. Get involved with them. Hell, offer to be their "promotes in places that aren't facebook" guy in exchange for free tickets. Be a community builder.

But these ideas won't be acceptable to you, and even if they were you'd have a thousand other objections up your sleeve, because ultimately you don't actually want to leave facebook. I'm not going to try to frog-march you out the door, but lets not pretend there are actually any meaningful barriers there.
> completely disagree with you.

Well I was being perhaps a bit deliberately controversial

> for no reason—besides perhaps making it more convenient for programmers

That's a massive and excellent reason to make a system consume more resources. In fact I think it's probably the main reason programs do! If new feature X can be done in 1 man-week and consume Y resources, it's entirely possible that it can be done in such a way that it consumes just 1/4 of those resources. That might take 10 man-weeks (and/or much better devs). So you don't, because users generally aren't willing to pay for that. Basically only a few very niche products do this (game engines, embedded, ...).
Basically, the economics of adding feature X was such that if it can't use a huge amount of resources, the buyer can't afford it. So it uses a lot of resources, becaue the buyer wanted the feature.

> I believe that the problem is that programmers are doing things for themselves, and not users—which is eventually who will use the product. Electron is a great example.

This is partyly true. Electron (and similar) is an excellent example of the economics above. I also can't believe how someone can write a chat client that uses 1Gb of ram in any universe. But the economics were such that JS developers, unfortunately were easy to come by, and a browser engine with DOM (of all things) was the best way to get a cross platform UI running with these developers.
So the arrival of Slack was really just like any other feature. Someone wanted a cross platform shiny group chat application, and they wanted it now and not in 10 years, and they wanted it to cost reasonably little. The answer to that, unfortunately, was "ok but it'll cost you two cpu cores and a gig of ram".

Was it just for the developers? well, partly. But indirectly it's for the users who weren't going to PAY for C++ devs to write slick and lean native versions of this software

Bottom line: every user has a limited amount of money and a limited amount of computer resources. When given a choice, my experience is that users are much more willing to pay with more resources and less money, than vice versa. The important thing to remember is that the two are connected - a program that takes less resources is more expensive.
Makes total sense, not sure why they would even need to write all of this up.
When I was doing my MSc six years ago I was told by my supervisor not to download too many more papers relating to my project because the school could get IP-banned. I'd read pretty much every published paper relating to a small subfield of Physics at this point, but still no more than 50 papers in all.

I think I just laughed it off and said I'd got no plans to scrape journals. I always thought it was a bit of institutional folklore and that maybe there had been threatening letters or something. I didn't realise they actually do go ahead with the IP-banning.
Well im off to collect a bet - i always predicted faked consumers.
I am completely new to ETH. Is this profitable?
In the original quoted case the user's problem is presumably "I have a zipfile I want to unzip", which they have then turned into "and so I want to run this x86 WinZip binary". That's the point where things have gone wrong, because trying to run winzip on a Linux system is just not the right way to solve the problem. It does the user no favours to try to help them to continue the wrong way down this garden path rather than to say "this isn't ever going to work satisfactorily and a better way to solve what you're actually trying to do is to use a native Linux program to extract zipfiles"...
The difference isn't the violence at any one rally. The difference is that one group (the one with the swastikas) actually advocates genocide. As in: there were people in Charlottesville who openly told reporters that they want to send jews/blacks/muslims to gas chambers. And even if there were only a few of those, the swastika, "heil X", and nazi salute are undeniably linked with the history of the Nazi party, the holocaust, and WW2. I just scrolled through a few pages of pictures, and I think it's fair to say that the protest were pretty homogenous in that regard. I don't see many history professors among these people demonstrating to preserve the value of confederate monuments for science. It's also somewhat telling that I'm having trouble finding a single woman among that side of the protest.

Given such a protest–and even if you disagree with the above, please entertain this as a hypothetical–what would be the makeup of the group of people opposing such a protest? It seems to me that, in principle, everybody who disagrees with the far-right ideology of these protesters could, or even should, be among the counter-protesters. You can be a Nazi, or you can be against Nazis. But I'm having a hard time imagining someone being neutral: "I think the idea of sending the jews to the gas chamber has potential, but I will reserve judgement until I have studied it in more detail" just doesn't seem like a common opinion.

And that's why people are so outraged with the President's "there are always two sides" equivocation: one side wants genocide, the other wants "no genocide". Even if both sides had been similarly violent (which they were not: only one committed a terror attack killing someone), they aren't comparable. Because for these Nazis, the opposition is in the way of their fantasy of a whites-only country, whereas for these opponents, the step after keeping the upper hand against the Nazis is "going home".
"If a society is tolerant without limit, their ability to be tolerant will eventually be seized or destroyed by the intolerant. Popper came to the seemingly paradoxical conclusion that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance."

IMO this is the ideal rebuttal to the 'be tolerant' argument.
Use tor to access the onion domain for scihub (they have one) if you don't already do so.
Go daddy suspended their registration, then they went to Google who also suspended it. So they went to a Russian host, all the while they had cloudlfare protection. Then they said they had cloudlfare protection because cloudlfare supported them, thus taking cloudlfare from an independent, neutral party to being involved and a supporter. So cloudlfare withdrew services from them and hackers DDoS the site to oblivion.
So they’re fascists basically.

They clarified why they changed their position in this instance. Daily Stormer started telling people that Clodflare and Prince supported them, this took away from the neutral content provider stance that cloudlfare took. If daily stormer had not mentioned cloudlfare they would still be able to use its services.

I Akujin is right. Often I have the feeling we moved from the left-right spectrum to a triangle, where the "middle" from before has become its own extreme, that is touting the "free speech for Nazis" over and over again most because they fear of taking any sides.
I think if you are marching with a swastika flag then you get the Nazi moniker regardless of what your exact political stance is.
It's one of those stories where I'm glad I saw it, but the experience was pretty uncomfortable. I've seen a few of the other Black Mirror episodes but not all of them yet, because I've got to be in that right state of mind to steel myself against it.

Kinda masochistic!

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll try and remember that one next time I've got the groove.
In principle I'd be fine with including religion and every (political) view in that list as long as the view infringes on the freedom of the person doing business. For example: view (a) that demands that all living people must wear black gloves and run in circles five hours a day would be on my "that's ok to discriminate against" list while view (b) that requires the follower to wear a three-pointed pirate hat and eat pasta at its religious gatherings would not be.

Basically: If your view demands anything of me or any other person I might know other than pure tolerance of your view, I can choose to discriminate against you. If your view only demands tolerance and only makes prescriptions for you, I can't. Obviously, the real world is a bit more messy since even a political moderate view that demands higher taxes to feed the poor infringes on my freedom to earn money - so the question where to draw that line is a matter of open debate.
> Nazis will try to exterminate billions of people

I have never, ever seen anyone argue for exterminating people (except as /b/-tier provocation).

Not even the small group of people actually identifying as National Socialists do that, much less the numerous people the media would call "nazis".

The straw man arguments are getting out of hand.
Ah, DDoS, that makes sense, thanks.
No forget all this labeling of people as Nazis.
Apart from some property damage and a few minor injuries it worked out pretty well. Nobody got killed and over the weekend only a single gunshot was fired (in the air).
I dont want to imagine what would happen if a protest like the g20 one would clash with the police when guns are involved on both sides...

So grand parent makes compelling case, just not in US laws.
> The reciprocal, on the other hand, is very clearly understood to be the quotient such that the nominator and denominator are reversed.

That depends on the math you use. In this case you are given a floating point argument, so there really isn't a concept of reciprocal either, because it's not a rational number. There are places where "reciprocal" is not specific to the rationals, but there it is usually a more general term meaning pretty much the same as inverse.

In both cases context is everything, and trying to read this - as with all math - in isolation is likely, almost inevitable, to cause confusion.

In this case it's the multiplicative inverse of the square root of the argument.

> And since most managers care only about getting the project done on time and within the budget, this is what most developers concentrate on.

I think that is the crux of the issue succinctly put.
Quite ok, actually. Nobody was killed. There were no "minutemen of the patriotic revolution" in fatigues and with automatic weapons. There were fantastic, peaceful protests such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeXRmurPTRI

Yeah, there was property damage. So what?

Also, I'm not quite sure what you're actually trying to say? Are you suggesting the protests would have been /better/ if protesters had had automatic weapons?
Homosexuals are the way they were born.

Yes they were targeted to a smaller portion of the population.

Electronics projects, and hi-fi stereo systems were all the rage. Guys still had their hobbies.

Most guys didn't have computers, but the guys who did could do a lot with their computers. I was too young, but I remember the older boys doing things, and hooking up things to their computers that we can't do with new MBP's. Meaning, their wasen't closed systems. Their was no need to buy product like the Rasberri Pi.

When watching that movie about Jobs, I remember Seth saying, "You're going to decrease the number of ports from 12 to 3?".

That really stuck with me.

I remember guys taking those ports and doing all kind of stuff. Most of it was not recommended, but guys were experimenting with their computers. You could open them up, and repair them.

There are some days I wonder if we would have all been better off without Jobs, and the Mac. That is in the long run.

I got off topic, but the old magazine reminded me of a kinda better day. You paid for the magazine, and the magazine provided working hardware/software projects. You usually didn't need to buy a bunch of other pricy stuff to get the gizmo in the mag to work. You did need to buy a bread board, resistors, cpas, and the like, but that stuff was cheap, and bout at a surplus store, or Radio shack.

I now buy a multi grand Apple, and you can't start hooking up my hardware projects to the back. It's pretty and slick, but there are some days I would like to have a few 12v pins to run my projects off of. There are many days I wish I open the device to upgrade, and repair--easily.

Looking back, I think if Wos was the CEO, we might be farther along in innovation.

I will admit my first computer was a Atari St 1200--I think? I bought it for college. I was the only kid in my classes who had a word processor. I even felt like I was cheating.
I never told anyone about my computer. I would listen to them paying $2/page to a Typist, and not say anything. My girlfriend knew, but didn't want any part of computing. It was for Nerds. Plus, her indroduction to my computer was me stupidly drawing a dick pick. She was a good sport though, and said, stop it, it's making me horney. She's now making $500,000 a year, as director of something web in a small hedge fund near the valley.

Did I get into all the peripheral projects I saw in BYTE--no, I didn't. I liked computing, but got tired of sitting in front of a screen. In all honesty, I wanted to be out in the world, birdogging almost anyone who would have me. Yea, I wish I could have a surgical clip on that Testosterone.

My point is those old computers were in a weird way better/different that our slick closed boxes.

>Insistence that all devs time must be billable

That one can hit all areas of ICT real bad when the company is a managed service provider, leading to a 'Chefs kitchen/Plumber's bathroom' where the company provides great outsource ICT services offering to its clients, but runs an absolute shitshow for it's own systems because they're chronically under resourced (you can't bill it, so don't spend time on it).

That has extra interesting results when such a company tries to spin up and sell services which it's built/hosting/maintaining/developing itself.
