"Absolutely no effects" shouldn't be your default assumption. Lots of compounds have been shown to have subtle long-term effects that weren't obvious at first.

You have to do epidemiological studies to find problems with compounds that have a negative effect only in certain circumstances, because it probably won't be noticed in clinical trials. The foundational example is thalidomide, which is a harmless sedative except in pregnant women. Clinical trials aren't normally done on pregnant women, and they also aren't done on soldiers in active combat.

There may well be no problem, but this is the sort of epidemiological evidence that justifies further study.
> If you call to build a factory, there will be millions of people wanting jobs. These jobs are not good jobs and are labour intensive, but the desire for jobs outweighs any other concern.

China actually has labor shortages in certain places at certain times, yes, even for those factories. Also, wages have been going up, meaning labor is getting more expensive as surpluses are tapped out. It isn’t infinite, especially in 2018 compared to 1998.

Add on to that china’s coming demographic cliff, and automation is obviously going to have to make up the difference.
Oh interesting, I hadn't noticed that pattern.
I think you may be confusing “government infringement upon free speech rights” and the much wider concept of “free speech” in general, which is the ability, provided by common spaces and a soap box, or printing presses, and now by the internet, that permits someone with something to say to reach their audience who wishes to hear them.

There are a lot more people who have the ability to shut down a website, regardless of hosting company choice, than have the ability to shut down dissemination of a flyer or stop a speaker from speaking.

Yes, a TOS is freedom of association. That doesn’t mean it’s a good thing for society when unpopular speech gets banned from every web host they use, in order.
"If China and the US are in a race for Orwellian tyranny, I hope the US loses."

RMS is generally right, and I have the utmost respect for his adherence to such a principled stance for the social good all these years.

Imagine all the opportunities to become filthy rich in the tech world he's ignored, having lived through multiple tech bubbles while being more than qualified to capitalize on them through developing proprietary software or otherwise exploiting users.
I have not had the chance yet to play with it but it’s very high in my list, drab an extension library for the Phoenix framework “providing an access to the browser's User Interface (DOM objects) from the server side”.

A friend did an experimental library way back using server sent events for the Yii framework. I don’t think I fully appreciated the idea back then. Admittedly Elixir seems a better fit for this pattern than PHP tho

What is the ultimate goal here because it seems like the deplatforming movement is spreading the ideas they oppose much further than these people ever could have on their own.

Nice way to completely miss Don's point. His point is that postscript provides all the necessary primitives to draw in 2D, consistently at every level of the stack. X-Windows is a continuation of the 'worse is better' NJ school of software design.
You're arguing a tangential point. Why is it okay to say - "kill all whites" and the platform let's you be but not okay for a user to say "kill jews" and the platform boots the user and yet gets booted itself.
The real question is, was there external pressure applied to the hosting company or was this entirely their own decision?

In the regular army carrying around a manilla folder (or for extra benefits a personal folder) gets you no questions from anyone as they just assume you're doing some task for someone.

Look into orthopedic pillows: a good pillow is supposed to support your neck when you're on the back or your whole head when you're on a side when the shoulders are in the way. (Not sure about sleeping on the stomach, though.)

Evolution is a game of trade-offs and compromises, you know.
The implicit assumption is that we should not eat "intelligent" animals. How does it matter? Which animals are pets and which are food is largely a cultural agreement. Humans are very good at creating abstract mental categories - this "dog" is my pet, but this other "dog" is my food. There are several communities in the world which keep dogs as both pets and food[1].

Not to mention the whole issue of defining intelligence itself. In context of this article, the better way to put it would be, pigs are more anthropomorphic than dogs in their reactions. One could make an evolutionary case for not eating humans, and the tendency to not eat animals that seem more "human" can be seen as a side-effect.

The usual lynch mobs (which FB & Twitter allow on their platform) reported it en masse I'm guessing.

We're talking about more than just saying things here.

11 people have been murdered by a white supremacist, and Gab is the online community for white supremacists / neonazis / anti-semites, one of whom is the murderer, whose actions have been heavily influenced by the specific culture of that community. What does the white-people stuff you allegedly saw "on twitter" have to do with that?

Come on, really?
If everything depends on the individual, what’s the point of respecting hard science?
I wonder if any others here think the whole idea of requiring an "init system" seems overly complex and almost un-Unix-like for the average use-case of a personal Linux system, or even a single-purpose server? I've built a minimal but quite functional system (including networking, a GUI, etc.) with only "init=/bin/bash" and everything else that needs to be run at startup in /etc/profile.

In that world, the dependencies are easily expressable in the shell script itself: requirement is &&, want is ;, and ordering is simply... the order in which the commands appear in the file. It feels very much in line with the Unix philosophy. Thus the relative complexity of all the other "init systems", even including the original sysvinit, seems rather excess to me --- was it just a case of Linux/Unix originating with multiuser servers and retaining all of the baggage from that when it became a personal OS?
I used to be a field technician. It's really amazing how casually the front desks of important institutions would hand over telecom closet/server room keys when I asked. We wore company t-shirts, but that was it.
There is no credible threat against white people as a group. Those who say this generally do so as a way to raise awareness of the very real threats posed by white supremacists, not as a real threat. Taken in context, the distinction is easy to make.
It can’t honestly be news to you that companies don’t exist in a vacuum, right? No decision by a company is going to be made in the absence of consideration for the broader reality in which they exist and seek to do business. To use a hyperbolic example, if Amazon considered having a “kick a puppy, get a discount” sale, the reaction of their shareholders, employees, and customers all factor in.
"Lynching" is a terrible term to use for filling out an online abuse form, while there have been 11 people murdered by a white supremacist.

The industry norm for SPA seems to be moving towards SSR along with code-splitting and offline workers. The main SSR framework for React is NextJS. Vue and others have their equivalents.

Honestly I don't see a reason not to use it. I could write a traditional website using Next/react at the same speed as someone using Django/rails/etc.
Interesting. Maybe a stray high-viz on a construction site would be suspected of slacking or needing a new task assigned. Whereas a suit is the boss's boss.
If your makefiles use gnu-isms (which is a valid choice) then I would lean towards using GNUmakefile and have Makefile call gmake - and don’t forget to use $(MAKE) for any recursion.

I was discuss a potential business model with my boss years ago for fun. It's about a breakfast deliver service. My point was, if we have enough data, then we can optimize the process so we can deliver all the breakfasts in the time window (to make sure people can get their breakfasts once they wake up in the morning, and the food itself is still in the "best by" time when they enjoying it)

My boss ask me back "Why would you think those delivery staffs cannot figure it out by themselves?"

Sometime we just forgot how flexible and intelligence human labors can be, and that level of flexible and intelligence is something current automation still can't bring to the real world.

The problem is you don't have a decent way in the language to specify data structures layout in memory. That's the C/C++ standards committees fault.

We build on the knowledge of those before us. The people who invented the original programming languages are mostly gone and most of us probably don't know how to use the stuff created but future works were based off the findings of those before them and we all benefit from that.
I have been following the issue of Internet polarization since 2014 [1], and I propose two different ways to mediate the situation on a societal level:

- Have a neutral platform to facilitate discourse and mutual understanding. This is hard as it requires a largely informed populace.

- Complete segregation of groups having different opinions. This proves to be also hard because of incidents like this.

no, on purpose. I single person can crash the entire system (it reboots quickly). A single person can spam the entire facility. This is, at least the moment, intentional.
I think its reasonable to assume AI will be able to fix these kinds of problems in the future. They could run simulations of all the possible failures and solutions ahead of time or during operation eventually
I like free speech, even if I do not agree what they are saying. Although, a hosting provider could stop their service if they do not like it I suppose, although I think they should not do so unless it causes technical problems such as 100% CPU usage or stuff like that, although I am not saying they do not have the right to ban them, only that my opinion is to don't. But, you could just use a different hosting provider, I suppose. One hosting provider will not necessarily be available forever anyways.
Yes. The victims at Tree of Life today were victims of lynching, not the platform on which the lynching was promoted.

Profiling sucks.

In this case though, I'd say you're simply trading one injustice for another.

You go from the ephemeral experience of having a few underpaid lackeys mistrust you, to having an eternal database of everything you buy owned by a third party.

Then again, it's getting pretty ridiculous everywhere. The local supermarkets around me - they've gradually stripped real checkout operators away and replaced them with self service booths that each have LCD's beaming a picture of my own face at myself whilst I shop, with a scary "you're being watched!" banner across the bottom.

It really bothers me that everyday 'essential' things seem to be full of pain points like this for no discernible reason. We have private companies launching rockets, supercomputers in our pockets, and so on and so forth, and yet the "human experience" seems to be constantly degrading. What can we do about this?

Surely, you can see that a sustained effort to recruit for racist violence, and an ongoing celebration of racist violence, by people who have a history of racist violence, is not comparable to a joke about killing white people by someone who is not organizing to commit violence against white people or celebrating the death of or violence against innocent white people. The fact that you know enough about the situation to make that comparison, but still ask that question...means that I can't trust the sincerity of your question.
a found a tool bag, some parts to waive around, and a long boring explanation (real or otherwise) of why you need to be there also helps - barring that, in some buildings a screwdriver is the only key.
It doesn't seem like this scenario should make you nervous unless your platform is a venue for discussing genocide.
As a non-white person who is wholly unsympathetic to the ideas espoused by white supremacists, partly out of reasons of self preservation, making statements such as "kill all whites" doesn't seem like a particularly good method of raising awareness of the dangers posed by hateful and bigoted ideologies. Then again I don't spend much time on Twitter so maybe such statements are able to lead to constructive dialogue there.
Let's get real for a second here: gab courted neo-Nazis and became a refuge for anti-semitites and racists precisely because that was their target user base. Gab's pearl-clutching about anti-semitism is about as genuine as an arsonist's complaints about smoke. I will not miss gab, nor will I miss it's fetid assortment of wastrels. The best thing I can say about gab is that their pathetic shrieks at least made me laugh.

Oh, and "Free speech" has nothing to do with forced hosting for assorted terribles. This is one of the most persistent and irritating misinterpretations of the first amendment. "Free speech" covers the government and the government alone.
The ‘US Standard’ for free speech is exactly where it should be, and applies to the government’s role in censoring citizen speech. Joyent, as a business has no obligation to support anything outside of their own policies.
I don't understand this sentiment. The author describes her lived experience shopping as a black woman throughout her life. She also points to recent publicized examples of black people being subject to poor treatment while engaging in normal activities. If you had lived your entire life being weary of store clerks, having inculcated that lesson in childhood, why wouldn't her observation be both genuine and important?
Peter Norvig, director of research at google, made some observations on this topic:
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/44kpzk/peter_n...

I was somewhat involved in the programming Olympiads in high school and to a lesser degree icpc style programming in college.

And later when I founded my own startup - I thought these competitive programmer types would be great hires. But in reality it’s been a bit of a mixed bag. Real world software engineering is about readabiliy, maintenance, extensibility, etc - the actual data structure and algorithm work is typically minimal (which these competitive programmers relish on) and even then you’d probably want to delegate to some battle tested open source library.

Of course I don’t want to hold having a competitive programming background against the candidate but no longer prioritize that skill set.

These comments are kind of partisan, no? A neutral company would just say “hey, we’re going to a new service because of X, back soon!”. Let the users cry “free speech, god bless”.
It’s an interesting question. Speech on the internet does seem to depend on the cooperation of big companies in a way that isn’t seen in other realms.

However, this seems to be drifting off topic. Gab’s web site didn’t get shut down, they just got cut off by a payment processor.
Linux may be the de facto standard, but BSD cares about the de jure standard. It's a matter of perspective.

Also many of these are actually GNU idiosyncrasies, and from it's name GNU suggests that there is a standard, and they are going to be different.
You can sign up for one of the multiple marketplaces for influencers and see all the metrics. I've seen simple things like number of followers, videos, views, comments, length of video, etc. The category their YouTube channel is in. Related stats on their other social media like Facebook and IG, etc.

The one I used, you put up an ad of your product, and influencers applied, so you could quickly vet them by easily going through the data in one place.
Humans are bad at doing nothing. Something like basic income will definitely be needed in the future, but there's something to be said for the "dignity of work."

Even if it's something like "10 hours of community service per week in exchange for basic income," contributing something to their tribe or society is an important part of a complete human being.
It's pretty simple: "kill all whites" isn't racist.
