A lot of this argument boils down to people are not allowed to question the structure / content of a site because it will be self regulated. I think those discussions are healthy for a community to have and would prefer people offer an opinion of why such content is viable for the space vs deriding conversation.

Also I agree and I enjoy seeing politics discussed. You are conflating my defending of someones discussion around the structure with the site / features or focus of the the sites content with me defending their argument. Two different things here.

This is a big problem in startups. Developers with very little to nothing of not only management experience but even development experience become VPofE/Directors/CTOs and wreak psychological havoc on people they are supposed to manage. Sometimes they do it on purpose because of insecurities or many times just unintentionally.

At TechShop they were really conscientious about safety, but I don't think that extended into "hand tools". Power tools, certainly.

And I don't have any problem whatsoever about restricting access (and policing) to the larger or more dangerous equipment.

Lathes and milling machines can easily maim and kill if not treated with respect and knowledge. Laser cutters must be supervised when running, or a fire is easily possible (not to mention understanding why you shouldn't cut sheet PVC in a laser cutter). Water jet and plasma table cutters are not toys for the uninitiated.

I have zero problems with such rules. It's one thing if you own the tools yourself in your home shop; do what you want, whatever consequences result. But when you are doing it in a public or semi-public manner, having such rules and regulations should be a sign of quality of the space.

What makes you think you necessarily need a separate account at an exchange? Theoretically Brave could offer to pay you via pretty much any method you want. (Direct deposit, Paypal, Bitcoin, BAT, or yes, even a check in the mail if you prefer.) They just need a way to verify that they're sending the money to the right person; it's not like they already have your address.
The issue with this perspective is that corporations generally are not chartered such that they provide their employees with a voice in its executive actions. There’s also a level of (soft) coercion in that employees’ jobs are on the line.

As a result, granting a corporation blanket rights (eg to donate money) is not implicitly granting those rights to the group, it is granting them only to a small number of individuals within that group.

You say “individuals can exercise their rights through a group”. Most individuals are in fact prohibited from exercising their rights during working hours beyond what is of interest to the corporation, and do not have a direct voice in what the corporation’s goals are.

Thus mediating privileges of a 10,000-person organization as if it speaks with the voice of 10,000 people is effectively reassigning the voice of a large chunk of people to a much smaller chunk of people. If the group only has the legal rights collectively as the sum of its individuals, it is creating an inherently non-democratic power block within a democratic society.
Josh Marshall is well qualified on this subject, and is walking the walk with TPM by pushing it towards a subscription model, and away from too much dependency on ad revenue. (He has previously published insightful posts on the dangers of relying on Google and FB, and their capricious business practices).

In a larger way, this is an indictment/logical endpoint of the 'free' business model. You still get what you pay for. Imo, it's too bad micropayments haven't taken off, but i'm glad there is some traction in paid models. Perhaps things really need to get shitty with free content (ahem, autoplay video) before there is a correction towards quality content. Of course, that presents it's own problems since those too poor/cheap to pay for content will remain in the ad infested content mills.
It's become a problem in the UK because housing supply is so constrained, there is a whole class (or generation) that is getting fat on the back of this constrained supply and has been voting for policies that continue the situation.

This isn't buying land and building homes, it's about people leveraging their existing housing to out bid people just looking for a home.

This has led to the age of a first time buyer reaching 32 and left many people with a precarious housing situation.

So yes, there is something wrong with it.

Save your energy - they just think that reddit banning a pro-racism community or a internet infra company refusing to serve a neo-nazi website basically means that we live in an authoritarian society.

Never mind that the slippery slope argument is a known logical fallacy, never mind that these companies are private entities and can do what they like, never mind that if Nazis ever gain power they will literally, physically exterminate people they don't like, never mind that people are still free to express their own views on public platforms, never mind all of that. Ugh.

The only consolation is that these communities are being censored, taken offline, and driven onto platforms where they cannot reach nearly as many people as before, and that this will continue to happen, no matter what HN libertarians say. And that the tech community is not nearly a-ok with hosting racist speech as HN would make you believe. We are moving forward, and what you're seeing is a last-ditch reaction to pro-racism, neo-nazi communities being marginalized.
The left, outside of Silicon Valley, sees you as the enemy, the instigator of racism, sexism, and any other isms they can apply. They want you replaced with people of color and women as fast as possible. Inside of Silicon Valley, you're seen as this benevolent majority, surely appreciative of diversity, eager to break up the white privilege, and promote justice for those left behind....someday, but not today. There's tremendous hypocrisy on the left both in and out of Silicon Valley.
I am referring to the way many on the far left speak of intersectionality as a number of diversity or victimhood points to be tallied. The truth is, like many multivariate functions, more complex.

Here is an example. Being male is not a privilege for a young black man being stopped by a police officer in the United States. On the contrary, it greatly increases the odds he will soon be unjustly killed.

Similarly, being Jewish may well be a privilege for a wealthy London banker, but is just as easily a death sentence for anyone, including an elite, in Lebanon over the past 25 years.

I'm not the GP, but I think being unaware of the Guardian's reputation is rather the norm in the United States.

I consider it normal and reasonable to be unwilling to be interviewed by media sources I consider dishonest and disreputable. For me that, that includes Breitbart. For others, the list would be different, but the concept is the same.

There is zero point in meeting with an interviewer when antagonistic bias is known ahead of time. The resulting interviews cannot be anything other than character assassination.
I'm kinda surprised to think that about the "Phoenix" (Chandler) location; they were essentially "given" the building they used by the city; it was also a shared space with some portion of ASU (IIRC).

Been in the same boat. Started with Python but transitioned to Ruby / Rails for web dev.

Django is a good framework. Ultimately why people choose it or something else is about your own taste. The reason I didn't choose it is that Django give users more freedom i.e. configuration over convention which for me leads to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Paradox_of_Choice (Maybe things have changed?) It's strange because Python is the opposite in terms of philosophy. Rails goes the other direction and is very opinionated which is also strange considering Ruby's philosophy is the opposite i.e. 10 million ways to do the same thing.

The next issue is community consensus. Python doesn't seem to have it. (Again things may have changed.) You can see this with packaging and the 2x vs 3x war. Not sure if Python has finally standardized packaging yet but it's hard not having a good package system everyone uses once you get exposed to ruby gems, npm modules, and even maven.

For the record, I'm not saying Python is bad. Just giving reasons for why I personally do not use it unless I'm forced.
>The return on investment is definitely worth it from a performance perspective.

Do you have hard evidence for that? I know in "theory" it sounds good and Oracle and DB2 docs continually act like it is a requirement.

My personal experience is only with DB2. Its storage was mounted on NFS (yea I know..) and due to many other app issues we were having DB performance issues (or that is what everyone though). Since it was mounted on NFS I could just sniff the wire and see what was going on. To my horror it was reading and writing in individual 4k blocks (which was the current page size). The overall network throughput was only about 2-4mbs at tops.

I managed to convince the DBA to turn off O_DIRECT in the DB2 config. I didn't get much of a chance to benchmark (since so much other stuff was going on at the time and the DBA insisted that my idea was a complete was of time) but what I did see was that without O_DIRECT, the OS has taken over and was batching up the reads and writes into larger blocks on the wire (sometimes as high as 64k) and overall throughput at max on the wire was now 20-30mbs. But I only had a few minutes with this config before it was reverted and never revisited. But nonetheless, using postgresql or mysql with the same schema and data would yield reads and writes of much larger blocks and it would allow the network throughput max peaks of up to 200mbs.

I disagree that it very obviously cannot be done. It may carry more risk for the token holders than an REIT but I see no technical reason why it couldn’t be done.

As long as the payment is made in ether (or tokens) directly to the contract wallet address the contract will immediately ‘know’ whether or not a payment has occurred. You can easily write a smart contract to require a payment of X ether every Y days. You could even make the contract payment requirements dynamic based on the home’s value over time (ie it could scrape data about other sales in the area from Zillow etc). If the owner misses a payment, perhaps that triggers an email warning, with appropriate escalation thereafter (reminders, phone calls etc). If the owner misses a prenegotiated number of payments, then the contract considers it a default and automatically releases the documentation.

I think the harder problem is if the owner defaults, and a % of the home’s ownership transfers to the token-holders, what then? Presumably they would be minority owners, so they could not force a sale.

Right, but as a consumer, you don't have to deal with the ramifications of the other parties failing to be paid, a scenario which generally results in the content creator having their content pulled for incorrect / unauthorized (re-)use.
To play devil's advocate: cash (fiat in general) is often traceable to bank accounts, wire transfers, ATM CCTV, credit card records, marked bank notes, etc.

While it's still v possible to track a bitcoin transaction from recipient to sender, there are countermeasures with varying degrees of efficacy. At any rate, it's not the traceability of X per se that matters, but rather the stigma, and given how many billions of $ in illegal activity bitcoin has been used for, and the high-profile cases of Silk Road etc, it's very easy to see that scenario (i.e., the US Congress + interested lobbyists cracking down on Crypto) happening.
And it's all done client side. What is the issue? Or does it bother Google and other online players that they can not control what is being done?

Your points are valid, but I think you're misunderstanding his point. If a terrorist attack happened that was funded via Bitcoin, and could've only been funded via Bitcoin (including a false-flag) the governments would throw the book at it. This could be terrorist groups sending BTC to legit US citizens who purchase things (like weapons) legally and then use them in an attack, &c.

"people who aren't white guys (assuming they can do the job.)"

This sort of language is problematic and harmful in that it implies that "white guys" (not even white people, just men) by default can always "do the job," and that anyone outside of that group must be judged to some sort of different standard. It makes it challenging to talk about diversity when statements start off with racist and sexist undertones.

To use the fired Apple employees idea that diversity is multidimensional, you might have the following situations:

Group 1:

1) white man (Democrat Stanford grad)
2) white woman (Democrat Stanford grad)
3) black man (Democrat Stanford grad)

Group 2:

1) white man (Democrat Stanford grad)
2) white man (Libertarian Kansas kid self-taught)
3) white man (South Africa bootcamp grad)

Depending on what's important, Group 2 would be seen as "more diverse and representative" even though the skin color is all the same. In that case, diversity of thought is valued more than diversity of skin color.

If that was the idea that Denise Young Smith was trying to get across, that nuance got lost in the backlash.
