'Just shut down' might mean "the sub", not "conversation". I don't think mods need weaker tools, but there's definitely a fiefdom problem where mods can't be dislodged by any means. A pair of examples:

For years, the /xkcd subreddit was run by a group of Holocaust deniers, simply because they got there first when an old mod left. They censored content, linked to bizarre white supremacist garbage, and generally did the reddit equivalent of domain squatting. Experienced users went over to /realxkcd or something, while new users just wandered into the garbage fire. I don't think that's a free speech or mod tools issue, I think that's an 'unhelpful labelling' issue.

Another sub, I believe /frission, had a head moderator who had a drug trip or religious experience or psychotic break or something. He kicked out all the other mods, announced that the sub had "served its purpose" by guiding him to this moment, and declared that he would delete all posts and then take the sub private in 24 hours time. There was a massive archiving effort and pleading with the site administration, but ultimately the only thing that helped is somebody talked the guy into restoring one other mod who could avert the meltdown.

Broadly, I'd like to see reddit massively expand the bot api and in-house moderator tools, because it's a thankless job to do right. But I'd also like to see some form of administrative or community review for the cases where moderators go utterly off the rails and destroy subs - even something extreme like >95% agreement would have handled these cases.

I too enjoy bosoms. Who's Higgs? Oh! Bos... Never mind.
It really depends on the Westerners. If you mean Americans, then you’ll be right in regards to a large number of them. If you mean South and Central Americans, and many Europeans then you’re probably off base. “Westerner” is no more a useful label than “Easterner” in this.
Depends. An actual leader able to convince them and strategize, plus handle logistics would probably do reasonably well. Especially a military commander.

Most of CEOs and managers aren't leaders of this sort - they have to pay people to follow them. The second the deal is bad and they cannot rely on contacts and politics, they are left in a ditch.
There's also a problem with the Trent 1000, the other engine option on 787s:

Basically, the compressor is not lasting near as long as expected, and, since it's a safety-critical part, airplanes are spending a lot of time on the ground awaiting expensive inspections and repairs that weren't in anyone's maintenance schedule.

It seems like the conclusion to draw from your perspective is that companies should have processes in place to offer regular promotions and raises.
It was about time.
Anyway, the subscription model is kind of a shitty model for things that are not like Netflix, Spotify or some good designed SaaS.

I mean all that entrepreneur wannabes that copy to "Box of X every month" or "A simple SaaS that took me 5K to hire a freelance to do it but I have a niche" model.
Please forget about it.

Then immediately doing the thing again for which he apologized - not to forget. It is called, plainly, being a notorious liar.
Just an FYI if you're not aware: the entire corpus of reddit comments, users, submissions and subreddits is publicly available as a dataset from various sources. There is a very straightforward (and as of now, loosely sanctioned) method of continually crawling all reddit activity that doesn't rely on the API. Judging by your complaints you might find this useful.

But I agree that reddit is likely restrict access even more in the future.
"I am unprepared for people who don't understand jokes" -- Anton Troynikov

> Either way, an American worker's salary is a good indication of how unafordable this spot is

How? I think the average income of someone who lives in the area of the parking spot would be a much better gauge, but this is probably just a pricey parking spot in an already very pricy area of a very pricey metro. It has no connection to the average person in any place on Earth.

Then we shouldn't allow gays to breed with lesbians to create a timeshare child. The same is true that the US should have actively stopped the intermarriage of blacks and whites for the same reason. India needs to stop the procreation of Christians since the social norm is Hindu.

A truly convergent desktop. And I don't even know the details to explain what I would like, I probably wouldn't even know until I used it. I do know Android for Desktop is not it, though. Being able to throw apps from my phone to my pc to my tv would be nice too, and not so clunky as casting.
That's a one way communication, there's no way for the TV to send information back to Sony over it.
They will have it easier to adapt to subsistence farming. They should be at least familiar with basic manual farming techniques and tools. Such people are also familiar with working in groups.

It's starting to get there, recently, so I am hopeful Python can be a good alternative to Bash more often nowadays!

There is also the cultural difference. In Python, it's so easy use pip and modules, but if you want something to replace Bash, you need to resist the temptation and only use what's in the standard library. The thing with Bash scripts is that they are often self contained and you can grab a huge snippet of it and it will work pretty much everywhere. (Exceptions of course, the script may do some fancy include or use a program not available, but you get my drift with this.)

Bash has been stable a long time, and the Bourne shell compatible part of it for even longer.
There are certain tribes in human history that did exactly this for centuries.

> Do you also maliciously fill out surveys with less than "excellent" ratings

I've started doing this, although I wouldn't characterize it as malicious. I bought a car last fall and that started a ridiculous number of surveys coming my way. I contacted the dealership, the manufacturer, and the survey company asking for the surveys to stop. The dealer and manufacturer both responded saying they would take car of it. The survey company never responded.

The surveys keep coming so I fill them out randomly and return them. It isn't malicious because I'm genuinely dissatisfied with them because they can't stop the surveys.
2012 was already into the decline years. Snow Leopard came out in 2009 and was replaced with Lion, in 2011.
When facebook came out, the vast majority of sites _did_ (or were assumed to) operate that way.
I don't get why people recommend DDG. It's mostly a different skin on bing search results. Why is relying on bing better than relying on google? If DDG had its own engine, I could see the "they're the small underdog focused solely on this" angle, but as-is, you have the choice of Microsoft or Google.
Options. I am one month away from completing 4 years and vesting completes then too. I did not get any refresher on equity.
As far as I know, there was a round of raises/appraisals and end of year 3 but I was left out. I was on a F1 (student) visa when I started with this company and I was unlucky enough that I didn't get H1B visa until my 3rd attempt (lost the first 2 attempts in the lottery), I am guessing here, but I think I didn't get any raise/equity because they knew I couldn't afford to leave back then with my H1B processing still going on.
"- being told you are constructing utopia while the system crumbles around you"

This is the one that resonated with me.

Obviously "the system" as a whole isn't objectively crumbling by traditional measures like GDP, but there were things that could give that feeling: Homeless sleeping in the subway and on the main streets, the smells, crime so rampant it's basically ignored (my car was broken into > 5 times), working relationships are brief and cold and high-pressure
> I never answer.

That might cause you to be declared a "class enemy". The downfall will be swift.
There should be, I agree. The best features of facebook are events, and friend recommendations. It would be great if we had an open standard for the social graph, and then other companies could make services like events or friend discovery, and you could pick and choose which ones you subscribed to.

As for authentication, thankfully most sites let you register an account with them. It's a little inconvenient, but with a password manager it's simple. Still, I wish OpenID was more widespread.
I'll go ahead and say the United States is the greatest country the world has ever seen. It's not perfect, but once you live in other countries for a bit, even if you enjoy the experience, you appreciate the U.S. a lot more.
Yup, and are also harvested early so they ripen on the way to the store. Also since plants start to decay as soon as they're picked(even if cooled), the more time that passes until consumption the less nutritious they will be.
The letters were short, so someone could easily have retyped them in Word. Did anyone old enough to have used a typewriter seriously claim they were photocopies of 70s era typewritten documents? Surely Dan Rather of all people must have some experience with typewriters.
It's pretty toxic overall, though there are better and worse communities there depending on what you look for. Something political or social will make Breitbart look sane, whereas something topical (like a gaming community on the platform) is usually a bit less extreme.
Why do you say it's wrong? Wantonly killing a rapist is wrong? Wantonly killing a person in direct competition to resources is wrong? How are you proving any of this? Nature doesn't show that. There are many species that survive using that exact technique.
You need to analyze your basis. It's probably something like, "I don't want to be killed, so I don't". That's fine, but why is that a good idea? Why is life good? Look around at the suffering. It could all be over tomorrow if everyone died. Honestly, atheists assume a moral view from theists. Stalin was right: kill your enemies is fine. You can't prove a moral absolute. You can only prove a feeling set that achieves an end you declare is right.

As to committing more crimes, of course not. Why would an atheist put themselves in harms way of the masses? They know that the masses will quickly end their lives for certain crimes. For other crimes, their lives are functionally ended due to incarceration. According to the rational atheist worldview, living is good. Living as free as possible is better. Therefore only commit the crimes you know you can probably get away with.

Ultimately, an atheist can no more say, in an absolute sense, that Joker is worse than Batman.

Using language like "mind-control ray" is also targeted for persuasion (Or "mind-control" as you put it).
People are mentioning that they'd be angry to find out they were talking to an AI. I see people interacting with Google Assistant and Siri in a positive way all the time though, acting amused or amazed when good responses are given. As long as the person knows it's an AI and the responses are good, I think most people will act positively with this.
If you want to persuade, try some citations. You’re just parroting what some feminists are saying.
That sentence pretty well summarizes why I don't really like using Twitter.
I'd probably call the police. That's what they would presumably do if a customer was repeatedly trying to sneak in without an account, so it doesn't feel like overkill to me.
Kodi 18 (still in alpha) has inputstream and plugins for Netflix and Amazon that don't use a browser.
The Cross Country trains are InterCity trains, just not as prestigious, or as high speed (and not electrically powered).

Correcting what I said before, according to Wiki, the Cross Country services are now operated by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_170 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_220

The story in question seems to be this one: https://metro.co.uk/2013/10/06/virgin-trains-to-spend-3-5m-r...

So it's Class 220s (the Cross Country trains) and Pendolinos that had the problem. All were being operated by Virgin, the Pendolinos on the West Coast main line.

Well...I have to admit that while our linux skills are kind of ok...designing HTML is pretty poor.So on behalf of Team PrathamOS, I accept the shortcomings on the UI Part.Thankfully,we recently got some good hands and within the next few weeks, a more user friendly visualization will be on offer.

The Distribution (we dont consider it an OS!!) is dedicated to the community itself.No conscious or percieved effort is intended, to showcase some sort of innovation or uniqueness.Primarily because,there is none.But over the years,due to benevolence by numerous netizens, we happened to learn some tricks here and there.All that is a part of this initiative.Automation has been implemented to make things easier to use for new / non-power users.For example, java installation requires just typing setuporaclejdk on the terminal.or to upgrade kernel (4.18rc3 latest) just type kernel-upgrade...This is what we interpret as the Power Of Simplicity.Thus the TagLine...

The donation is just to solicit support to keep operations running.Nothing is premium or paid in nature.When we ourselves have been staunch supporters of Open Source Philosophy,it makes no sense to charge anything...specially when everything belongs ot the community anyway!!!The distribution allows users to add functionality in layers called packs.Higher demomination Contributions get to download everthing in one iso..thats it.

I would like to thank all participants here for giving their valuable time to provide constructive criticism & feedback.It keeps the team motivated to put in more effort and bring whatever little value to the Linux Community.

Thanks A Lot

It doesn't. Apple releases were never bugproof. That part of the myth is counterfactual. The part that isn't counterfactual is that upgrades became much less attractive after the A team left for the iphone.
I am iterested in an example that cycles on Google translate - can you share one?
Are you sure? This behaviour is actually desirable because the shitty company behind it enjoys the fact that they get less calls as a result.

This problem could’ve been solved for ages without Duplex - simply call, they remember your call and call you back when an operator is ready for you. The reason it’s not used is because shitty companies don’t want this.
Heterosexuality and homosexuality are about more than mere reproduction, though. If the arguments against homosexuality were strictly about that, they could also be applied to straight people who marry monogamously, or who choose not to have children at all, since neither a single partner or no partner is optimal for survival.

My point is that non-hetero sexuality and non-binary gender should be viewed as simply an uncommon aspect of human biology and identity, which has no moral weight in and of itself. Some people are left-handed, some people have red hair, some people are gay.
Why Udemy is Bad
Well, considering the US is invading and bombing counties all over the world for various reasons, the EU way is a bit less aggressive, don't you think?

I also never understood why Americans think that is bad. The EU is making their market less attractive, so shouldn't Americans be happy about that?
They didn’t “defy” tariffs. They have multiple factories around the world like every other company.

Well, the "whole Ethereum network" doesn't really matter. What matters are the handful of Ethereum nodes run by pools that currently represent a majority of mining power. Sure everyone else runs the code to verify the output but that's trivial. You can do that for any deterministic application you have the source code to. The important thing for most applications is ordering the inputs which boils down to: Which nodes did you select and how does your application come to consensus? With Ethereum, your selection is made for you: around 10 nodes have more than 1% hashing power and even among those, they are very unevenly weighted - three of them have a majority. With Codius, host selection is up to you, so you can select 10 nodes with even weighting or 100 nodes or whatever you're willing to pay for. As for the consensus algorithm: proof-of-work has some terrible characteristics (need to wait for multiple blocks, random block intervals, expensive, subject to front-running.) You can get a much better performing system using a BFT consensus protocol like Honeybadger.

Edit: Sorry, this reply sounds a bit harsh / dismissive of Ethereum. That's not what I intended. After eight years in blockchain I just get frustrated when people assume that just because they don't know who they are actually trusting that that means the system is "trustless". It's not, no consensus system is.

In fact, I would argue that any system where people aren't aware of who they are trusting is going to be worse in the long run because nobody is paying attention to the governance of that system.
If you build your business on such a wobbly foundation, it's a calculated risk and you need to be aware of it.

It is entirely unconstructive to call US-based foundations wobbly when the EU-based equivalents (a) sometimes don't exist at all, and (b) where they do exist, suffer from analogous privacy concerns around government snooping.

The allegation here isn't that, to pick one relevant example, Stripe is abusing the personal data they process when they collect payments from our customers. The objections to Privacy Shield, like Safe Harbor before it, are mostly about the US government itself having rights under US law to gain access to that data, regardless of the actions or intentions of US-based businesses.

Now, I don't like the current heavy-handed approach to data hoarding by governments under the guise of national security any more than the next HN reader. But let's be clear: the EU and its member states do essentially the same thing, routinely writing special cases into privacy laws that exclude governments when they want to pry for supposedly security-related reasons. It is the height of hypocrisy for the EU authorities to allege that processing data in the US is unsafe because of the risk of US government interference, while at the same time turning a blind eye to what's going on in their own back yard.

In any case, since sadly there is little prospect of any of the governments involved on either side of the Atlantic giving up these powers any time soon, undermining otherwise reasonable privacy laws because of them serves no useful purpose. It just hurts businesses who are trying to do reasonable things, even if they are careful and considerate in how they handle personal data, and by extension it also hurts both their customers and the economies they operate within.
I looked through the code and it's about 40 lines long. I don't mind of people using small libraries like this, but it's a bit fun to see it presented as some kind of revelation :)
They have a mitigation in the form of an automatic engine restart system. I suspect part of their risk analysis is going to call out reliability of that function.

If the RR engine is failing prematurely then there's also an argument the be made for switching to the GE engine because the maintenance costs are going to be passed on to the passengers in the form of higher prices.
