It depends also on the employer's attitude and response to the incident. If the employee behaves perfectly and writes an impeccable post-mortem and is then fired "at the request of a client", that's on the employer, not the employee.
"I think that there's a cohort of people (mostly teenagers and early 20s?) who won't actively seek out hate based sites, but if they're available might check them out, especially if it's not just direct hate, but focused on jokes at <group that is easy to attack>'s expense. At first for fun, but eventually it normalizes the behavior for them, and a small percent get radicalized for real."

I see it as a form of inoculation: on Reddit, a casual visitor has a better chance of seeing counterpoints and ridicule.

Now those groups have scattered like roaches into safer spaces that are less likely to tolerate dissenting opinions, and can claim persecution.
"Same stories, rebooted with new cast members that are more relatable." This isn't true at all and I'm curious at what gave you that idea? Specifically I mean of stories with the names changed between Egyptian religion and Christianity/Judaism.
Population structure is controlled through the use of the structure as a co-factor in the analyses. They use a principal component analysis on the genotypes to estimate the structure, and then use the first few principal components (PCs) as cofactors in the analyses.

So if the European population they used consisted of half English and half French participants, then the first PC would likely divide the two. So if British or French ethnicity affected the analysis, this effect would be reduced or eliminated using just the first PC.

How many PCs should be used? Well, ten is a common number chosen. Is it enough? Probably for most studies including this one.

So ancestry and ethnicity in this type of research emerges purely from a PC analysis on the genotypes. They do not use self-reported ethnicity or any other type of common ethnic grouping. To control for population structure, self-reported ethnicity is rarely useful. Its far too unreliable. But these groupings do sometimes loosely correspond to the PCs found in the analysis, supporting the use of PC as a method to control for ethnicity.

The press release from GLAAD and HRC is ridiculously misleading. One of their repeated claims - that the paper has not been peer-reviewed - is directly contradicted by the first sentence of the first page of the manuscript, and their other criticisms are similarly baseless. Mistakes that obvious imply to me that their goal is not an honest debate but rather to stir the pot and promote misinformation. The alternative is that no one from either organization read the pre-print with any scrutiny. In my opinion, it's especially telling that visiting GLAAD's site (including the press release) prompts an immediate pop-over asking for donations. Who is the unethical actor here, I wonder...?

I would check with a lawyer. A lot of civil cases have a much shorter window (as low as 3 years in some cases). And determining the start date of the window can be tricky... it could (not say it is, just that it is possible) be as early as your first paycheck ("you should have noticed something was off then and acted"). .

By that standard, the company who invented fidget spinners made a bigger contribution to society than Tesla because more people can afford their products.

Why are you getting defensive? I agree with you more or less. All I said was reality can be stranger than we initially believed possible and showed you examples in other fields ( math, physics ) where "reality" got turned upside down.

Computer science is a fairly new field. It's within the realm of possibility that reality can be turned upside too. I'm not said it is or will be, but it can. Okay?

Automation is good. It enables greater productivity.

The kind of automation here doesn't seem actually much different from the 19th century when hand weavers were replaced by power looms. Except we're talking about warehousing and fulfillment instead of weaving thread. But same case of workers now moving from doing something themselves (weaving or stacking) to overseeing (multiple) machines doing the previous task faster. But this doesn't mean the old jobs required less skill; oftentimes automation actually REDUCES the required skill level.

...and so overall, more stuff is made. And this can reduce worker leverage (especially if combined with devaluing of skill... such as skilled spray booth technicians replaced with people tending automated spraying machines). And THIS is where the negative part comes from.

So we need some way to give leverage back to workers. Whether minimum wage, labor unions, tech cooperatives, etc.

Automation pays for the $15 or $20/hour minimum wage. $20 minimum wage also drives automation. If employment is maintained and innovation in automation continues, this is a virtuous cycle that COULD benefit everyone.

But there's also this: http://www.marshallbrain.com/manna1.htm
Right, but why does Reddit care? Their moderation approach effectively addressed the business problem they faced. Maybe in the long term Voat will grow to become an existential threat to Reddit, and Gab to Twitter. But it sure doesn't look that way right now. A reasonable business manager at a firm like Reddit might look at a new company like Voat as a gift.

It doesn't seem like a reasonable organizational goal for any firm anywhere to eliminate white supremacy from the entire Internet. It's hard to imagine how that might be accomplished. Certainly, Reddit was never in a position to do it. Why would they look to solve any more than the part of the problem they were directly engaged with?

Who are these free speech proponents that you are talking about?

Reddit and Twitter are private organizations, not government institutions. Free Speech proponents like John Stuart Mill are fine with free speech (as a philosophy) limiting the speech of individuals if the expression causes harm, such as organized mass harassment and threatening of individuals (which is what fph was banned for).
I wanted to automate a lot of screenshots of highlighted code at once, so I wrote a script to take input files and create output files. This was the first workflow that worked for me, so I went with it.

In the future I'd like to simplify the workflow a lot, including cutting out the dev server.

I wish I could find the exact book, but there was a philosopher writing about anti-semitism after WWII.

I really want to give you direct quotes but I'm about to run to a meeting, I'll search harder afterwards.

The jist, as written in ~1950s IIRC:

1. Anti-semites are immune to argument or criticism, because they are "Just Joking." They will spew hate speech and throw every argument they can at you, logical or otherwise, and outright lie, because they are "just forcing a discussion." If you actually pin them down and try to challenge them, they'll laugh you off. "I'm just starting the discussion here, are you really taking me seriously? Hahahahaha loser, triggered!"

2. It is acceptable to argue the possible benefits of levying import tax on wheat from Alegeria, because there are genuine positive/negatives to the transaction. However, it is not acceptable to argue over whether "All Jews should be killed." A standpoint that suggests the outright destruction of an entire people, or their enslavement or removal of freedoms, is so heinous as to not even be worth discussing the possibility of merit. In other words, anti-semitism is a garbage philosophy that our zeitgeist should not permit. It does not fall under the protection of "free speech," it is simply rejected wholesale.

My point: Restricting hate speech is not a slippery slope for freedom of speech. I personally believe there is no universal morality, but if I had to pick, I'd argue that the best outcome for the human race would be a culture that purges all racist and other arbitrarily prejudiced mindsets that judge entire populations on untenable grounds (race, gender, etc).

It is not a slippery slope if you set clear boundaries.
This depends on your up-rising for the most part. When I was very young, there was this spider that had its house below my small desk. I grew up accustomed to these spiders and didn't allow my mother to clean them up.

Now, I don't fear spiders and also don't mind them as long as they don't wreak the place with their filaments. I was surprised when a cousin of mine was freaked out by one of them and wanted to insta-kill it.

Now if there is a bug... that's a whole different story. Even though, logically thinking, these beasts are the same.

That's a good point--requires quite a big infrastructure push though to get there. Seems like a bit of a chicken and egg problem, as it will be hard to justify the spending required to make charge-while-parking sufficiently ubiquitous until electric cars have a big market share, but I'm not sure they can get that market share without a good charging story like the one you describe. Tough problem.
Yep, they're pretty close. Late this year or 2018 they'll have cars driving around empty. GM has consistently been underestimated by the public, but they've played their cards very well. It's in no small part due to the drive and leadership of Kyle Vogt, who is on his way to the big leagues to join the ranks of Musk, Bezos, and Jobs and those guys.
It's the other way around: the radicals have a need to engage the rest of society to convert them to their cause. That forces some degree of moderation, they know that if they are too far out no one will listen to them.

A better metaphor would be that if you confine the Christians to their ghettoes soon someone will take up arms against the infidels.
Thats not what happened here. Current and former students are overwhelmingly united on the same side. The administration misused some voluntary response data as a pretext for shutting down a community that they didn't like. There are no loud senior citizens subduing youths unless you mean the administration. Au contraire, the students and alums were fighting together to prevent Senior House from being replaced with a generic dorm with no community spaces that will lead to cultural stagnation and isolation.

Do you see how you're still trying to force a narrative that has nothing to do with the reality of the situation?

If we have to force a political analogy, a better example would be if veterans and current military personnel banded together to prevent closing an important base that had produced tons of great ideas, high ranking generals, etc. because the Trump administration decided there was too much risky homosexual activity and partying going on.

As an aside, your blanket classification of MIT alums as "yesterdays failed rebels" is comically inaccurate. Lawrence Summers lived in this dorm for crying out loud.
Can you point to where?
How can it be motivating when they literally had a rule that "former fatties" were not allowed?

Their official policy was that if you were ever fat, at any point, you were not welcome and worthy of ridicule.

If you find that motivational as a fat person, I think you might have a different problem altogether.
While true, it seems this leads to the conclusion "periodically review who has the power to moderate," not "don't moderate."
> "Fat hatred" as an epidemic has largely disappeared since 2015, for example.

As a person who sometimes reads Reddit, it's really surprising to me to hear that's the case. It seems like the same kind of invective comes out every time the subject comes up.
> purges all racist and other arbitrarily prejudiced mindsets

Purges? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purges_of_the_Communist_Party_...

I reach for hyperbole here, because usually the tool that societies reach for to kill ideas is to kill the people that hold them. 99 times out of 100.
The "power" to ban people isn't up for debate, though. Reddit have that power, whether they exercise it or not. If they did not exercise it today, it could still be inherited and abused by a future actor tomorrow. There may be arguments about how to change that, but arguing Reddit should not ban users for their speech would not be one of them.

Further, it's hard to imagine a world where websites cannot ban users. Reddit's "power" extends over their own property and who they admit to it, I can't imagine it being possible to run a website without that "power" - how would you deal with spammers and so on? How could you possibly compel a website to admit all people whether they want to or not?
Not that I am one to defend George W. Bush, but he was not President until January 2001. Whatever else he is guilty of (spoiler: a lot), he is entirely innocent of this, as it happened during the Clinton presidency.
Even for this use case, an app (including offline-enabled PWA) should load faster than an online-only website if they're designed properly, because the app UI is pre-cached and it's just making a small JSON web request for the next bus.
"Does it diminish Einstein's accomplishments to say that other people could have done what he did and achieved the same things he did, but that he was the one who happened to do it?"

Well, yes it does. That's the paradox. Greatness must surely be, no pun intended, relative to something. If other people not only could, but would have achieved the same feat, how can it not diminish the special-ness of a particular person doing it? And yet, many people feel, instinctively, that what Einstein, Newton, etc. did is, in some sense, special.

You argue that the resolution to this is to recognise the importance of the results themselves. I would argue that is missing the point. The historical importance of the theory is a different thing from the achievement of the person who discovered it, although the more impact theories will, inevitably, draw more attention to the accomplishments of their discoverers.

My resolution to this paradox is to recognise that the standards of greatness for an individual's achievements cannot be fairly compared with those of a group. They can only be fairly compared with what could be expected of the average individual human in the same circumstances.

When judged against the abilities and achievements of the average, or even above-average, human, what Einstein achieved was incredible. Likewise, we instinctively respond positively to any story of success against adversity, even if the actual achievement isn't special out of a particular context. A person injured in a car accident, who spends a year obstinately
learning to walk again, isn't achieving anything that most children don't do, but we applaud their determination, and the outcome in the context of their individual situation.

Great scientists present us with achievements on the opposite end of this spectrum. They are gifted individuals who did even more than could have been expected, and in the context of what the average individual human achieves in their lifetime, there's no doubt that they are something special.
I am the only one who was expecting at least one video?
I mean, in the first place Reddit and Twitter were never real common spaces. Perhaps the bigger problem is how much of the communication landscape is controlled by private actors accountable to no one.
Significant changes in my life primarily attributable to arguments with friends and online:

1. Moved from a vague agnosticism to atheism

2. Maintained a vegetarian diet for 10 years

3. Shifted my politics from the far-left toward the center-right

Who are these people who think minds never change? That's what I see repeated over and over without evidence.

Minds never change in the moment. That's not how beliefs or the stubborn humans who hold them work. But beliefs can -- and do! -- change over time.

I think the argument is that it's a space that is accessible by everyone without any sort of gatekeeping, that makes it a public space. Whereas a forum such as somethingawful would be considered more private as there is a subscription fee for membership.

The thing I'm sad to see is that there's no third-party information stated on when Comodo's CAA verification started and stopped. When they first announced CAA support, who tested it? When did it stop working? So I'm hoping this will come out of the post-mortem and be shared with us all.
What is not clear is if this is due to the legal limitations or limitation of automation?
I post on /pol/ without agreeing with most of their views. You're unlikely to immediately convince anyone of a diametrically opposed point of view at any given time. But you can bring nuance to a very one-sided, memed and stereotyped "discussion".

For example there is a large overlap between pro-fossil fuel and nationalist attitudes. It is fairly easy to get some concessions about renewables from them once you point out that renewables mean energy-independence and not giving money to the middle east.

If you have no scruples of adopting their arguments for the sake or arguing you can also make your argument explicitly anti-jewish by pointing out that israel would be a far less important strategically if the US did not depend on oil as much. It seems like people have trouble applying logic of this kind because they fear being seen endorsing the arguments that they use but in the end it's just a form of playing devil's advocate.

If you have a thread where the general tone is that all blacks should be killed then maybe an admission that this would not be a smart move and better solutions can be found is already progress. Small progress, but still important, nudging things in a better direction bit by bit. And yes, board culture does change over time, imperceptibly to most, but it does change.
Im not excited by Quattro, I prefer a transfer case and complete control over the system instead of a viscous coupling doing the thinking for me. The ground clearance, maintenance cost, and oil burning issues of the 4 cylinder was a deal breaker on an A4.

Well I did opt for an engine that didn't have an ELSD available in the 2016 model or lockers in any configuration. Should've bought a Wrangler.
>Thinking black people are inferior is a political view.

I disagree. Thinking that trickle-down economics is a solution to poverty is a political view. Outright judgement of entire populations on illogical and untenable grounds is simply racism.

I have taken the mindset of rejecting these mindsets wholesale - I won't give credence to racists anymore. It is a garbage, untenable, unarguable viewpoint, and those that are within it have simply been failed by the system. It makes life much simpler :)

It's more complicated than that. Diesel bans (when they come) will be declared by courts, not by politicians or officers in the executive branch. The purpose of said concessions is to calm German customers.

You may be thinking of Sartre's Anti-Semite and Jew

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Semite_and_Jew

Here's a quote:

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. It is not that they are afraid of being convinced. They fear only to appear ridiculous or to prejudice by their embarrassment their hope of winning over some third person to their side.
