We can have diversity of hate speech. That would obviously be bad right?

In case I’m being overly obtuse - my point is that we are not allowed the generality of previous thinkers she. Discussing free speech and human communication.

Diversity is a great term, but it’s too broad since all positions(intersect)contexts are not equal.

We do not have the ability to touch upon ideas in some Newtonian or conceptual space. We have to very much work on them with human brains and their limits and weaknesses.

So when we say diversity - what diversity do we mean? Otherwise it’s the same as political speech where they want equality/growth/fairness and so on.
Sure, but they asked why we would put energy in the ground. To get back to 280 eventually, is why.

I guess at least this is seen as a bug now? I don't know if it was just a bug affecting me or some weird test or something going on but this used to happen to me all the time - every time they'd change anything they'd change all my defaults to public. It did stop at some point, though I haven't checked in a while and don't trust them at all. They used to reset my email settings all the time too, but I stopped paying attention to that and just told Gmail everything Facebook send is spam which worked much better.
It is very rare to see him treat people like they're idiots.

There's a very fine but very clear line in a lot of his rants between very harsh language used against solutions he doesn't like, but without making it personal, like in this case where he's attacking the rationale, and attacking the C standard, but is very explicitly avoiding attacking the people (even taking pains to point out he's not suggesting people on standard bodies in general are incompetent). The closest he comes to attacking people directly here is when he calls people who use -fstrict-aliasing "fcking morons" when* they use -fstrict-aliasing, so even that is conditional on behaviour rather than assigning a trait to the person in general. You'll sometimes see him making wide-ranging accusations about general categories of people (e.g. I remember a rant about people who think it's a good idea to do reads a byte at a time), but rarely about specific people.

On the rare occasions when he attacks people directly, I have yet to seen an example which doesn't fall in the category of either attacking persistent repeat offenders who has refused to listen to more polite rebukes (his attack on Kai Sivers being the most obvious example [1] - notably while very direct and personal, that rant was also comparatively civil in terms of actual language), or attacks that fall in the "I know you know so much better, or you wouldn't be in the trusted position you're in" category (his attack on Mauro Carvalho Chehab for a change that broke userspace [2] falls in that category; Mauro has contributed to the kernel since 2005, and have worked on it as his job for years - in this case Mauro took it on his chin, apologised for the breakage and the discussion remained strictly on topic on the technical issues afterwards).

Frankly if I'd gotten a dressing down by Linus in that category, I'd print it out and frame it, because harsh as they may be, I don't know of any case of people having gotten those without having demonstrated time and time again that they should know better first. You don't see him ranting like that at beginners. You see him ranting like that when he's disappointed because he has high expectations of you. Doesn't mean people can't get upset by them, of course, but it changes the nature of it quite a bit.

Note that I'm not saying that it's a good thing- I'm sure there'd be more civil ways to express that too -, just that I think the importance of these rants is exaggerated.

Please tell me what was the last time when China attacked someone across the globe (or anywhere). When was the last time Russia attacked someone across the globe (yes they have wars on their borders, but tell me what would happen if Russia builds the military base in Mexico like NATO does at Russia borders)? Now tell me when was the last year when USA was not in a war?

I don`t know how somebody rationalizes deaths of millions of civilians caused by USA/NATO army/interventions, which acted in non-defense, but I for sure know that they would not rationalize it anymore if they would happen to be on the receiving and of "democratization".
Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great resource, but it's not "How to be a manager."

Just an example of this, culture is hard to get right. You can't hire yourself to culture. It's something that has to be practiced by all your employees every day.

If you have 1000 managers in your corporation, you have 1000 micro-cultures. If a chunk of those managers figure out they can berate their directs on a daily basis without punishment, then those employees experience of your company will be terrible.

That's why Amazon employee reports vary wildly from great to horrible. That's because while some managers are truly great, some are truly horrid. The culture isn't enforced equally across the company.

Jeff Bezos might treat his corporate execs great on a day to day basis say, but the average employee is usually levels of management removed from this to be inspired. Instead they see coworkers sobbing at their desk because they were fired, or forced to resign. Other's might actually deeply enjoy their time at Amazon, but it's because they got lucky in the micro-culture lottery.
I don't think they're believing anyone over anyone, but rather entering the discussion with a fair amount of skepticism.

The point is that in any discussion, both sides have biases, and you need to take both sides into consideration to get a fuller picture.
These are not exhaustive options. The name of the logical fallacy you're committing here is a "false dilemma". See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_dilemma

I cannot discern what is or is not a valid warrant. That's why companies have lawyers. I don't trust law enforcement to do this either. That's why we have courts. There's a lot of room for nuanced opinions about our warrant system not being perfect but being better than nothing.
Surely removing your need to do that will help, instead of focusing on it as a personal improvement goal!

Deno is not a good idea and Ryan Dahl should just let node.js developers moving to Go continue doing just that.

Go is a well designed language that is productive, has a very tolerable learning curve, good documentation and does not need a JavaScript facade.

Facebook privacy bug 'affects 14M users'
Exactly, but I see several comments railing against marketers while only mentioning their beef with advertising.
> Unless your adversary is lucky enough to pwn the guard for that onion site, they can't even see the correlation.

We're talking about an attacker that can see every byte going over the wire, encrypted or not it's still able to measure the volume of data itself.

> Well, first thing, you don't send many MB directly to someone. You put it on a Tor onion file-share site, and PM the link via Tor.

In that example the attacker wants to determine the location/IP of the hidden service itself. It's pretty well known that high traffic / volume hidden services are some of the easiest targets for global traffic analysis.

> I can imagine a global passive adversary that could log all Internet traffic, and make it searchable. The NSA can somewhat do that.

They don't have to log the data itself simply the meta data and in specific the volume of data sent between vertices in the graph. Various agencies have openly admitted they keep this information and it's not considered "protected" in their view.

This is simply a graph analysis problem, similar to how Bitcoin is pseudo-anonymous unless you use specific methods that aren't built into the core protocol.

It's important to bear in mind that Linux isn't written in standard C - it's written in a dialect of C implemented by recent-ish versions of GCC (there is a particular minimum GCC version supported), with certain compiler switches.

There's nothing wrong with this - it's an important enough project to be able to make those kinds of demands.
Because they aren't all going to Waikiki -- some are going to Mililani, Kaneohe or Kapolei to go home, others are going to downtown Honolulu or elsewhere on the Island.

And who wants to wait an hour for the official shuttle bus to leave when you can call an Uber and leave now? And if they want to take a bus, they can take TheBus and spend less than $3. Some day (7 years or so), taking the train to Waikiki will be an option.

For all I know, maybe the military already contracts with buses for those that are willing to put up with the inconvenience, but there are always those that are willing to pay more to get there faster.
Outsourcing Myths and Misconceptions You Need to Know – IQVIS Inc
Indian here. We don't lie. If you ask me if I am a female, I'd obviously won't answer yes to that.

The problem is that it's considered rude to say no when asked to complete a task by a senior. So when you'd ask an Indian developer if he can complete a project in a week, he might say yes even though he's not sure if he can do it. What he would do is say yes, and then give his best try to complete it in a week. Only when he has failed to do so, he'd report his failure.

Basically, saying no is considered as insubordination/cowardice.

Fake it till you make it is still a thing. It works. But don't deceive users by cheating them or lying.
> True. But Tor has pwned people too. Most recently, there was the bug that CMU researchers exploited, and then shared with the FBI. Also, many users of Tor browser have been pwned by phone-home malware, which leaked their ISP-assigned IP addresses. Hitting Tor through nested VPN chains would have protected them.

It's better, as in closer to trust-no-one, but of course it's not perfect. Especially when we're talking about endpoint security concerns.
Also problematic is that from my understanding i2p is not used by any honest actors, since it doesn't have clearnet access. Tor is used by lots of people for honest things or at least less-than-completely-shady things like getting around IP blocks or geo-fencing whereas i2p is used exclusively for people that require perfect privacy for their communications.

I agree with some of your points even though I love Python - but what is it you find lacking about the Windows support? Have you looked at Mark Hammond's pywin32 package and the accompanying book[1]?

The book is written for Python 1.5, but win32 hasn't changed much and neither has the core Python syntax, so it's still very much applicable. (The one major difference is that the book had to concern ifself with converting Unicode strings everywhere, whereas in Python 3 with current pywin32 it just works.)

People in Medieval Europe did not think that torturing animals to death for entertainment was evil. It is obviously evil to people in Europe today, just like breeding and enslaving animals in horrific conditions only to slaughter them for food is obviously evil if you take a moment to think about it.
I just think capping surge pricing (though not as low as 1x) is well within the realm of reasonable decisions a government could make.
I believe it's due to consistently good performance over the years:

* The outstanding documentation site.

* Execution speed for an interpreted language.

* Highly transparent language evolution, managed by the nonprofit Python Foundation.

* Semantic versioning.

* Core developer communication is in English.

* Excellent module definition and import system.

* Culture of explicitness, not implicitness.

The ecosystem has a few huge weaknesses (e.g. packaging and dependency management) which put me off for the most part. But the strengths seem to be overwhelming enough to put Python on a success trajectory.

> alleviate whatever hypothetical issue the OP is referring to

That "hypothetical" the OP referred to is the VPN provider keeping logs (or more logs than they advertise) and providing them when asked to the authorities.

It's not really that hypothetical. There was a link here today about a "no log" VPN service that apparently did that.

> I understand that sentiment but a technological work around (that probably also has captured data points)

Tor is a technology that specifically answers the issue the OP brought up, which is over-trust in a single entity to preserve anonymity. Nothing's perfect, but Tor is better than both the "VPN provider" option the OP was warning people away from and from your snarky "what and use Comcast?" option.

> but a technological work around ... seems at best naive to this layman.

You'll have to elaborate why the use of better (if imperfect) technology is "at best naive."

I think any union covering more "white collar" type jobs probably would want to remain unaffiliated. Some also do for other reasons - e.g. Prospect [1], which is for engineers, managers and scientists. Their main reason has been that they organise a lot of people in the civil service and other parts of government, and e.g. BECTU (the broadcasting union) disaffiliated from Labour when it merged with Prospect for that reason, but it's likely that parts of Prospect's membership would also be more politically diverse than many other unions.

Well, there are a lot of web developers that we're saddled with supporting ie6 for many years after Microsoft won the browser war with Netscape and proceeded to let it stagnate for years. That amount of pain that was inflicted on the web dev community left a lot of lingering resentment.

Then there was their locked-down file formats, their role in killing off BeOS and preventing pre-installed Linux machines, their "embracing" of open technologies like Kerberos only to make their version subtly incompatible. For well over a decade, almost everything they did technically rubbed us tech folks the wrong way.

I think you are nitpicking definitions here when it is not the issue.

The issue is that the general public think of "Autopilot" as the magical piece of technology that automatically pilots thing while you sip a pina colada and otherwise switch off mentally.

What the 0.5% of people who actually know what is required of the flesh and blood pilot when using an aviation autopilot is not the issue. It is what the majority understand.

Changing what Tesla is allowed to call it is the path of least resistance rather than trying to educate the general public on "what the team actually means in the industry that made the term famous and therefore should be universally applied elsewhere".
Do it for a number of years and suddenly you realize: you've become one of them. Adding zero value and leeching of paying customers. Really kills your motivation to better yourself.
Can this "Autopilot" control altitude of the vehicle? No. Therefor it's not the same thing, it is just something similar.

What should we call car autopilot? There is more than one opinion. Some people believe in importance of some weird technical characteristics. For most people defining property of autopilot is its ability to control vehicle while pilot left the cockpit for a few minutes. So to them car autopilot must safely drive some roads and require human to take full control on the others. Taking over in case of emergency doesn't exactly fit this idea.

What looks really weird in all this discussions is their fanatical uselessness. Who would be hurt if new law would prohibit to call autopilot anything less than L5? Well probably no one. Who would benefit? Most likely a lot of people. Why would anyone oppose regulation like this? Huge question.

> Home Depot had ... associates who are knowledgeable about the products, says Langone. "These people learned their business and, to this day, the heart and soul of the Home Depot are these 400,000 people that work in the stores," Langone says.

That is not at all my experience. They frequently don't even know inventory or where to find products in the store, and even less often do they know much about the products. Generally they are unmotivated, even relative to retail sales employees.

EDIT: I want to be clear that I'm not at all criticizing the employees. It's obviously a systemic problem; they are poorly paid, and my impression is they are poorly trained and poorly treated, all for minimum age. I'm criticizing management for creating this system and for making the BS claim in the quote, and CNBC for letting it pass unchallenged.
