Parenting is more difficult for a teacher than for a parent, because:

- the parent has 1 or 2 or 3 kids, the teacher has 20 or 30 at the same time;

- the parent spends plenty of time with kids, the teacher spends 45 minutes, and that's supposed to include teaching and examining;

- the parent knows the child for years, the teacher may meet the teenager for the first time;

- the parent can use a wild scale of rewards and punishment, the teacher... pretty much nothing, other than verbal feedback.

So you can see it is quite unrealistic to expect the teacher to do the same amount of parenting as the parents are supposed to do.

(By the way, in my experience the best behaving kids typically have at least one parent a teacher. I suppose it is because that parent has no illusions about how much parenting a school can do, and therefore does not try to outsource parenting to the school.)
Very literally one of the worst redesigns I can think of in recent memory, easily on par with Digg/Myspace to me. (And I was a web-izen through both)

To avoid hyperbole, I'll list many of the same concrete elements others have.

- Page load MUCH slower.

- Information density is MUCH lower.

- Inlined ads between actual posts.

- Terribly ineffective use of linked images (they're massive rather than only on hover as one would get with RES)

It feels to me like Reddit embracing its "potential" as a clickbait factory ala buzfeed/instagram, over trying to encourage discussion and community per what I first found appealing about it.
Perhaps not surprisingly, this is where Istio excels..
The "please leave out the editorial" part makes me think it was the scare quotes, not the word Twitter, that led to the title edit.
It's so, so strange that 10-20 years ago my parents told me not to trust what I read on the internet...and now that they're all using it they have seem forgotten their own advice.
If there was any real definition of what "hate speech" is, then allowing it or not might be a more serious issue.
Ubuntu did it with Amazon. Mozilla did it with Pocket. I'm sure there are endless other examples.

Dismissing windows 10 as merely "adware" is inflammatory to the point of meaninglessness. It's really the kind of rhetoric I would expect on /g/ not here. The OP has also been rightly called out by others for his broad dismissal of linux.
Even though Facebook is not prohibited by law from censoring the speech of their users, they have a moral obligation to not do so. Cracking down on speech is never the answer to problems where we need to have more discussion. It only shows that we care about that speech enough to block it, which motivates them to cling tighter to their beliefs.

I am all for individuals blocking other individuals or groups, but when something is blocked from the entire community without their consent, it falls under unwanted censorship. We do not want to limit free speech to just the majority opinion.
White nationalist groups are not the only ones who do, but they are the most popular, influential, and scariest ones.
Hey, glad to see you again!

It looks like I have some more catch up to play, I see a rails logo on this page...

I emailed you a couple of days ago or yesterday about the Ruby support in Riff. There's not a PR yet but we got Ruby into a working state again! It looks like not a lot of people are interested in Ruby on serverless platforms.

Can you shed any light on why? And what kind of Ruby support can I expect from knative, given that it's not apparently coming from the Riff project now... as a Rails dev who wants to use this stuff today, how do I get started?

(It has a Rails logo on the page linked by the post, so I assume I can use it now, but I haven't gone deeply enough to see if there are limitations... I'm used to Ruby support being neglected in the serverless areas, I don't know if it's because we Ruby devs are slacking, or there's a fundamental flaw I haven't seen yet, or what...)

So, what can you tell me about that Rails logo on the landing page?
I just outlined the criteria in the comment above -- if you believe people who don't look like you aren't people, and don't deserve the same rights and shouldn't exist, you're a Nazi.

Yes "whatever world view is in vogue at the time" is the informed world view. I wouldn't want to live by the rules of Genghis Khan, or the rules of Germany in late 1930s.

All of the things that are now considered taboo or unethical are taboo or unethical. For example, can you justify slavery through this lens?
> According to the post, his departure had long been in the works following an internal reorganization that left him with fewer responsibilities,

So he was basically already fired. It’s easy to take a moral stand then. Specially when it’s your department which fucked up recently.
Except when the minorities in question are literally ruining your country.
That minimum wage government child care worker would put a whole bunch of private sector child care workers out of a job because the government can sell their child care services for cheaper than that for profit child care company can even ignoring the fact that the government run child care will be entirely tax payer funded.

There's quite a few jobs for which the government rightfully has a monopoly. I certainly wouldn't want the fire/police forces to be private. We had that and saw the problems it created. Same goes for the military. I'm not aware of an example of a private IRS or judicial system at a national level but I can't possibly see that going well either.

So yes it's a matter of degree but I disagree with you strongly on where to draw the line.

> Why do you want Facebook to silence people like this?

Because people use it to recruit and radicalize more members. Because being exposed to those ideas makes them more acceptable over time. Because if no one tells them that those views are bad then they feel they are ok to keep repeating.
The three most expensive words in software development are "Generous free tier"
I keep waiting for someone to accidentally discover something in networking hardware that shuts down/shits itself when it gets some specific VLF signal, with it baked right into an IC.

Example: Hostile satellite broadcasts VLF signal, the compromised hardware is always sitting there listening for a specific command with a hybrid IC that does both its expected job and acts as a radio receiver for a very specific signal or signals with code that gets activated when a specific match is detected. VLF is used by submarines to get small amounts of data out from deep underwater, would pass through buildings with ease. Code triggers chip to stop its intended purpose or to run some other code. Even with a few % of networking hardware compromised you'd create a massive disruption that could bring the internet to a grind leading up to an invasion.

You could have the same hybrid chip in traditional telephony hardware, cellular telephony hardware, civilian GPS units, power industry hardware, vehicles. It's not unplausible, in fact, counterfeit chips have already been found time and time again in hardware, polluting a supply intended for sale in the U.S. at one or more Chinese factories would be trivial for the Chinese government for example.

Even just sending a signal to cheap IoT devices or those cody streaming devices all over the internet, at gun shows, at fairs, at flea markets and you could instantly turn on some massive army that starts randomly pinging specific IP addresses or just random sets of IP addresses to just bog down the internet.

People worry about the software, I worry about the ICs themselves.
Kubeadm and others help install, but they don't manage clusters over time. We find that the ongoing management of GKE is what really speaks to people.

The workloads will still be as portable as ever, of course.
I have to agree. My own anecdote is upgrading from an iPhone 6s to an iPhone X. At no point was the 'Internet Speed' a consideration on my purchase decision.

For me, I accept I have to invest every N years in order for my hardware to match the ever-increasing demands software places on it. It's a tax I am willing to pay for a device that has become so ingrained in my lifestyle.

I suppose, for me at least, the network speeds are in a similar category to processor speeds for normal, every day use. Would an extra 10-20% download bandwidth be appreciated? Would an i9 running at 2.9GHz help me transpile and package my JavaScript quicker? Sure. But it's way down my priority list in terms of real-life productivity and time saving.
I've been thinking about this (and the obvious rebuttal of "What about the people who think $your_politics should be silenced in polite society"). I think my answer is that these particular ideas - ethnic nationalism and its friends - are deceptively simple explanations for problems in the world, and therefore platforms for publishing, especially platforms for short-attention-span publishing like Facebook or Twitter, should be particularly cautious in whether they let themselves be used by these ideologies.

It is easy to say that the reason that Americans or Greeks or Germans are struggling with their lives is all the Mexicans or Muslims or Jews, and that if only society weren't spending resources on these other people, things would be better for us. I can fit that in a sentence. It is much harder to talk about the complex effects of local, national, and international politics over decades if not centuries; about specific instances of poor leadership or corruption; about the proper interpretation of data; about things that really need papers or books to discuss. I claim that - universally - these longer explanations are more likely to be right. "It's these damn Others" is too simple to fit the observed data, but even listing each complexity in the observed data and whether the explanation fits or not it is a paper's worth of discussion.

Not everyone will recognize that these positions are the positions of awful people. Some will find the simplistic answer appealing. This is arguably a bug in human cognition - but if a platform is designed for humans, it makes perfect sense to take human bugs into account.

So, let me get this straight: you seriously believe that Twitter is going to randomly select a handful of users and try to throw the book directly at them (as the person who made the client is not subject to the service's terms of service). Generally the only tort expressabale against someone who violates terms of service is "the service can be revoked" (or like, at worse, the "damages" involved... good luck demonstrating those against an individual user ;P), and so far as we have seen there is no reasonable civil argument (the DMCA certainly doesn't apply and the CFAA is rapidly being determined to not apply); but let's say that this was an option: you feel like some massive hefty fine or maybe a jail sentence for some random user (as again: the person who wrote the client isn't doing anything wrong) is going to serve Twitter's interests here?
All of this work and complete dependency on third party services is worth it? Isn't much easier to create a lightweight app in say, Go and SQLite, and pay a so-low-to-be-insignificant monthly fee?

I think the keyword here is "process" not "biological"; i.e. that it's an action taken rather than random decay.
You can start by reading "Don't shoot the dog" and "Nonviolent communication"; and then perhaps "Games people play". None of that is specifically about parenting, but each teaches an important skill to a parent.
I think you severely underestimate the difficulty in retooling supply chains for relatively minor issues. It wasn't worth the cost of doing what you suggest when the issue could easily be fixed with a free bumper or by getting people to hold the phone in a non-ergonomic manner.
This is a light field display, which doesn't require any tracking of the users' eyes, which allows for a simpler setup and multi-user experiences but at the cost of needing to render lots of viewpoints.
Don't confuse the overall issue with a specific message. You're just appealing to emotion. And exaggerating to attack a strawman.

I feel like a caveman typing out error handling code in go, but on the other hand (even as a beginner in Go) I _never_ run into unexpected conditions. There's tradeoffs of course but every time I find myself thinking about what kinds of error conditions may be happening in my Node code (where I spend most of my time), and whether I covered them all... i think I'd trade.
> If you don’t practice what you learn in school, how will you ever master it?

I really don't recall many people mastering anything in normal school. Besides the few whizzes, most people are just bouncing about trying to figure out the easiest way to get an acceptable grade (for various definitions of acceptable, which mostly depend on your parents), and then forget it all by next year.

Some exceptions around math/physics, and people notoriously have difficulty with those.

"master" is a very strong term to use for anything going on in education...
from a long enough view, every decision a business makes is commercially motivated, so simplifying a decision down to picking a side based on commercial motivations isn't really helpful. Optimizing for immediate growth, long term growth, good PR, capital outlay, or maintaining a relationship with a valuable customer are all "commercial motivations" but usually in conflict with each other.

it's pretty hard to find a business decision that can be reduced down to "should we make money, or not make money?"
> Things sitting in landfills are not a problem for the environment

That's not true either.

Toxins, leachate, and greanhouse gases are given off from landfills and leach into ground water, or pollute the land around landfills[1]. Plastics will stay there, be washed away into streams/rivers, or be unburied in the future, practically in the same condition they were originally - even hundreds or thousands of years in the future.

> Products that are not biodegradable or are slow to decompose, like plastic, can remain in landfill sites for centuries, often emitting gases that could be harmful to the environment.[2]

> Landfills and dumps buried over often become suburban home sites in later years, unbeknownst to people who may live on them. Landfills have a distinctive effect on air pollution, nature, land and humans. Soil in the area may be saturated with chemicals or hazardous substances[3]

Most of the people I know who had iPhones had issues with the iphone 4 antenna, and only one or two of them are death-grippers. The problem was Apple's poor design, which Apple itself acknowledged by settling the case, offering free bumpers, and redesigning the antenna in future models.

The exact economics depend on where the billing boundary falls. For on-prem the economics will probably follow one of central IT budget, showback or chargeback and I expect the case for hugging the curve as tightly as possible is weaker.

For cloud providers the boundary is likely to become execution-seconds. As Kubernetes worker nodes become abstracted away this will be the remaining way to track utilisation.
People were already moving to PCs at that time, at least where I was.
I don’t doubt it can do better, I just have a bunch running in the background and this was right after startup (after applying the patch).
The official explanation seems to be that the key management defect which lead to thermal management problems did not occur in the development machines used during the engineering process. This seems possible as presumably every machine used internally goes through a different provisioning process than those released into customer hands ... Thus the claimed cause of the problem
seems to indicate that the flaw did not affect the internal benchmarks they ran. It would be _very_ concerning if the benchmarks they ran for engineering/marketing production were insufficient to catch this issue.

I think the official explanation seems pretty likely. If the flaw had been present in the machines used for benchmarking than either their benchmarks didn’t catch the issue (unlikely) or the benchmarking numbers were fabricated which also seems unlikely as it would invite an infeasible amount of legal risk for an organization of apples size and mindshare ...

> I was amazed at how little fluctuation in price there was between all the online stores for the likes of Denon and Marantz equipment.

Good thing too. Audio brands like these rely on smaller shops to get in front of customers. People showrooming then buying online will close out the small stores, which will likely kill off those brands.
I get the impression the guy above you is grey because people disagree with him more than him being off topic, or not adding to the discussion. I'm going to try my hand at going even more off topic. Not just to dick with people, but this thread made me think about it and I think it adds to the conversation.

I've been playing a game that's basically a feudalism simulator recently, and I've found it interesting how familiar the dynamics of feudalism seem. I've started thinking about how the social contract that protected the tyrannies they were subject to still go on today. Transformed a bit, but not at all weakened.

We have a court spymaster leaving, but making a final declaration to the noble houses that the kingdom he is leaving has a responsibility use its power to control some people more, some information less. Then the guy at the top of the comment chain is like a peasant (in the feudal sense, I'm not trash talking) who is happy to see his liege wield his tyranny against people he doesn't like.

Then someone responds by pressing the power of another title (the first amendment). It's an uphill battle for him though. The empire (The United States) has nearly a hundred year precedent that the first amendment doesn't apply to kingdoms with a government type of "corporation".

I don't have a strong opinion about this. I do miss my view of counter-racist action in the 90's. I liked the memory of black service members defending dirty racists from violence, and the caption on the image being something like "I don't agree with a damn thing you're saying but I signed up to protect your right to say it!"

Stuff like that made me feel like we weren't just objectively right, but had a moral high-ground. More and more often it's feeling like a lesser of two evils.

What Went Wrong at the HOPE Hacking Conference
Looks like Married With Children was on to something back in '94:

"When the Bundy TV set blows its condenser, Al decides to try out for a place on a new sports trivia game show, hoping to win $10,000 for a new TV set as the first prize. But when he is denied because of his lack of personality, Al tries to transfer his knowledge of sports to Kelly to win the show for him. But for each fact that she takes in, another falls out."

I think you're reading something into that 9th Circuit decision that isn't there. That decision held that the federal government couldn't use a TOS violation as a predicate for a felony CFAA charge. It did not hold that TOS agreements are unenforceable. Even the EFF isn't saying that TOS contracts are unenforceable --- and here we're not talking about browse-wraps, but on Twitter informing people directly as to their terms, and then having those people deliberately circumvent controls that enforce those controls.

For a straightforward counterexample to your argument about TOS enforceability, see 3taps. Or Facebook v. Power Ventures.
It's actually funny, because I feel like _on basis of the title_ I'd agree with the author, and the topic of not punishing people in a work context for social-space mistakes (especially historical) is one close to my heart, and is one I've argued for in the past at my own expense.

But the way in which the author argues their point rendered the article nearly unreadable to me.

I stopped reading when they accused "Internet Nazis" of being the reason Price was fired (in the GW2 drama.) As a member of that game community, her behavior towards a paying customer, IN HER CONTEXT AS AN EMPLOYEE, was unacceptable in any way shape or form. Remove the male/female dynamic, and the way she responded (including calling game fans "rando assholes" and claiming that she only "pretended to care") is enough to get _ANY_ employee at the companies I've worked for shitcanned. There was absolutely an internet hubbub, but I have no doubts in my mind (especially given that the incident happened on july 4th and was handled immediately at work-start the next day) the decision would have been made in isolation by any business conscientious of the negative impact of their employees on the bottom line.

The amount of distortion present in many writeups like this makes it unfortunately difficult to trust other smaller establishments without a track record I can rely on, and I think further poisons the discourse such that those who would trumpet "Fake News" as a catch-all can feel vindicated.
