That's not the same fallacy at all. I'm not sure it means what you think it means.

You're saying that moderation is possible without strict moderation. I'm not disputing that, but instead saying that strict moderation is possible, implied by the complete banning of a particular opinion.

If I'm incorrect about the possibility of strict moderation, it doesn't mean that logically there is a fallacy.

If I am correct, there is still no fallacy.

Whether it's fundamental or a product of socialization, ISTR there is a substantial empirical difference to the degree to which heirarchy is used to model the world between men and women, so if that is true at all it may be true only for certain values of “our”.
The most rational, fact-based reporting I've seen on the wage gap comes from Freakonomics. They have several episodes [0], [1] that dive into the current research.

The TLDR, if I remember correctly, is: Yes, there is a wage gap between genders. It is smaller than most headlines claim, but real. Lots of factors go into this, but it is probably a mix of: companies _can_ pay women less, so they will, and women tend to value some things greater than salary. However, there is no smoking gun we can point to as a definitive root cause.

They didn't get it wrong. They did the best they could with the data they had, which they knew was sparse.

"However, these estimates all use the same imperfect ocean dataset and share additional uncertainties resulting from sparse coverage, especially before 2007"

You'll note here the methodology isn't the issue, but rather the dataset. They've improved the dataset.

> why should I trust anything else

Well, technically, you shouldn't. You can look at the data and review it yourself. The problem is, you aren't probably an expert in the field. Which means at some level, you've already put your trust in the experts at some level.

Furthermore, to double down on the "they didn't get it wrong" comment:

"Our result - which relies on high-precision O2 measurements dating back to 1991 - suggests that ocean warming is at the high end of previous estimates."

You'll note here that this they concluded the actual warming was still within the previous estimates. And considering estimates are just that, this further backs up their claim.
That's possible, but when I was in elementary school and high school (and even into college) I could take pages of notes without my hand getting tired. I can't even remember the last time I wrote more than a few words down at once.
To clarify I'm not disagreeing with the walk out.

I do wonder if any reporting process at a company can ever really be trusted to have the employee's interests in mind. HR, legal, and etc all are there to protect the company. They're not there for your standard employee.

Again, not disagreeing with having a process, I just wonder if a process handled by the typical parties really can be trusted. I've never felt that HR, legal, or any of those departments are there FOR me. Rather they are there to prevent any problems the company may have, and that is not likely to be in my interests if I were to make a complaint about something.

1. Make a list of companies & products that implement "serverless" or "NoSQL" or X.

2. There are plenty of tools that search websites to see what they're using. They tend to work better for frontend tech than back though. Sometimes backend tech is visible though. Here's a nice compiled list based off a quick Google Search - https://geekflare.com/what-technology-website-using/

3. Search job boards, industry forums, social media, chat channels (Slack/Gitter/etc), videos, online in general for any mention of those products. You'll get a list of companies using them. Forums, social media & chats will help you see what issues your users are having with them & allow you to build relationships without "cold calling".

> strict moderation is possible, implied by the complete banning of a particular opinion.

A blanket policy doesn't prove that strict moderation is possible.

Web hosts tend to have blanket policies prohibiting illegal content, and did both before and he whole time since CDA § 230 was adopted, without legislators or courts finding any inconsistency; to the extent impossibility of strict moderation is a necessary element of the justification of the provision, the mere possibility of stating a blanket policy does not, clearly, suffice to defeat it.

> What's stopping you from having one table that contains A and what A points to? So you only have 2 tables?

So you can do that. Suppose you denormalize the graph into a single table. Either your denormalizing, and to connect A to many B's you have to duplicate A's data in the table, or you have the constraint that the A -> B link can only have a cardinality of 1.

This would be not a good choice for nodes with many relationships to other things, say for example "Person friended Person". It might work if the cardinality was somewhat capped, like say for example "Customer ordered Product" (a common denormalization).

For a real application, you're not going to have 1 of these. You're going to end up with 20+.

> I'm yet to be convinced that a problem can't be reshaped and mapped on a traditional RDMS and yet remain performant.

Any problem can be re-shaped to any database formalism. For that matter we can re-shape everything we're discussing for a straight K/V store like Redis. The expressive power of a database isn't at issue, because any database can store any dataset. Period.

More relevant questions are about performance and about conceptual fit for the problem. First on performance, have a look at the performance growth graph here:

https://neo4j.com/blog/oracle-rdbms-neo4j-fully-sync-data/

If you reason from the computer science of how these systems work, this result makes sense.

From the conceptual simplicity standpoint, that's kind of a matter of personal taste and application. Can you do it all with an RDBMS? Sure. But all of these different tech niches exist because sometimes you want more than one kind of tool for the wide variety of jobs you need to accomplish.

I'd argue that it's conceptually simpler to think of your graph as nodes and relationships, rather than to remember each time which node/rel set was denormalized into one table, which node label was split out into its own separate table, what that join table was, how the key naming differed between tables, etc. etc. etc. (Because once you have a non-trivial sized graph, you'll have a lot of these, and maybe you made different decisions at different spots).

The prize if you do remember all of that is that you get to write quite complex SQL to join together the datastructures for non-trivial traversals, because substantial graph use cases that you can answer on the basis of a single denormalized table are going to be rare.

In terms of conceptual simplicity, compare a recursive join SQL query to a cypher snippet like "MATCH (user:User {login:'bob'})-[:KNOWS*..5]->(foaf)". The equivalent SQL is...difficult.

It's just a "use the right tool for the job" situation at its core.

Something Ive never understood (not in the sense of I dont agree. What I really mean is I'm uneducated on the topic and would like to find out more, but my searches returned little, since it's a pretty heated topic), is why the company should be the primary responsible entity for this. Maybe for light cases where someone just need a stern talking to, but a lot of the cases are downright criminal acts. Having a private entity that has a vested interest in the events seem...unwise.

Shouldn't it be better to have law enforcement handle it, and have companies forced to cooperate instead?

Like, if it's someone who said something slightly inappropriate/gray area to another and just needs a stern talking to, sure. Have a process/HR deal with it. But so many occurrences are so much worse than that...

Not the same situation at all, but similar reasoning: I once had a colleague corner me in the office because of a disagreement in a meeting earlier in the day, where they threatened to "meet me outside to settle things". I mentioned it to my boss/HR/etc, and sure enough, they told me to just talk it out with them and were generally useless. I ended up having to quit. In hindsight, it wasn't my boss I needed to talk to, it was the freagin cops. (Not, of course, cops are frequently useless too, and that's a separate problem...but if we have to change the world somewhere, maybe pushing it all on private entities isn't the best thing to do in this case).

half subjective reasons:

- I'm bored by the system and jobless, and this would be an interesting thing to try as an activity for me

- larger efforts are slow

- I have this vision that bootstrapping small group efforts my heat up the system to help larger efforts.

I may add that large changes are bouncing back and forth between 'people are responsible' and 'industries are responsible' without going much anywhere. And I'm fairly convinced that most of people's behavior is mostly pleasurable habits (and mostly individual at that) and that people can't really change because alone and inexperienced in a change makes anything harder; while in a group, with a few that have skills (nutrition, mechanics, etc) can turn this into a pleasant new habit.

It's not the government that needs to change though, it's industry and agriculture, and government needs to act to make them change because voting with our wallets is wishful thinking and only applies to people who care. That's not enough people unfortunately. To that end, we need to force the government's to act instead.

Industry will not do what is best for you and I, let alone the planet, if it means an extra dollar. You think you can vote with your wallet but frankly, the rest of the world doesn't care like you and I do. They don't and won't change soon enough. Not only that, but marketing is really good at tricking people into thinking they are doing good. Sugar free, fat free, organic foods, marketing finds ways to pedal the same food and processes with different labels and the same negative effects. It takes regulation to change it. False advertising isn't prevelant in Australia because our government regulates the crap out of food labels for one example.

Another example is green energy. People are swapping to green energy only now rather than years ago because the government has subsidised it so hard that the dollars make sense. People didn't care until it saved them money, and electricity companies who were in the best position to make changes didn't care until they were forced to. If it were up to them they will pedal coal until we all die, and if it were up to the consumer we would just use more dirty electricity to run our aircons.

So I suppose that something like the Judge Dee recent trilogy of movies is closer to Wuxia than stories with a lot of supernatural creatures, then? Would the Sherlock Holmes movies with Robert Downey Jr. qualify as Wuxia, too (especially the first one)?

I'm going with an understanding similar to what is presented e.g. here: https://www.mwrf.com/components/learn-meaning-amplifier-line...

"The term linearity derives from an amplifier's linear relationship of input power to output power which, in an ideal amplifier, would be precisely related by the gain of the amplifier."

I see it as matching my argument.

Could I ask you to give a definition which clashes? Thanks!

Books were meant to free us from printing, shopping and logistics. Instead we replaced huge physical costs with huge digital costs.

It’s unbelievable that digital storefronts charge 30% of revenue just to ring a credit card and transit a few megabytes. Of course, you cannot go elsewhere since they hold a monopoly position.

It’s time for government intervention to take the commission rates of these storefronts down to 10%. You will then see an explosion in actual good content being delivered to customers, instead of the deadweight losses accruing now.
It's interesting that you mention GraphQL. For me, using Neo4j and GraphQL were similar experiences, in that once I started using them they offered a more intuitive and productive approach over the "standard" tools (RDBMS and REST, respectively).

Once I learned Cypher and some common graph data modeling constructs, I found I could build more complex applications faster using Neo4j, largely because I found the graph model of my project's domain more intuitive and easier to work with than a relational database model.

Similarly, building and using GraphQL APIs has been a huge productivity win once I figured out how to build GraphQL services.

Of course, when used together, Neo4j and GraphQL have some great synergies, since it's graph all the way down ;-)

It's also worth pointing out that Neo4j has some great GraphQL integrations [1].
