You can read the posts themselves to see what they are complaining about. Movie studios drummed up fake outrage about people being angry about a woman superhero when such controversy never existed. Then they took all the negative reviews of Captian Marvel and blamed them on misogyny. They also got Rotton Tomatoes and other platforms to lock user reviews. This is all classic GamerGate stuff I think.

GamerGate is about more than video games, it's about media manipulation and bias and it's about journalists acting like activists.

Trader Joe's at least has made an effort to cut down on the use of plastic packaging for their produce. So in this way, at least plastic consumption will be reduced at the consumer level, even if only for Trader Joe's shoppers. I always felt bad purchasing from them purely for the amount of packaging that was involved.

Accountable for users giving it a malicious use? What, like if people sell drugs through it? I haven't seen that. There are probably people that want better moderation from Facebook, but that also risks being seen as censorship.

What I have seen people try to make Facebook more accountable for is the under-the-table handling of data of their users, but that's not users making a malicious use of Facebook.
Yes, That's part of how people use it now but TOR was created for the explicit purpose that parent said: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_%28anonymity_network%29#Hi...

Edit: On further reading the distinction is the TECH behind tor was created for that purpose, TOR itself was created for what it says on the tin.

Another opinion I don't share. I would rather give people the opportunity to prove me wrong so that I can have the benefit of changing my mind and being right.

My point is group think requires significant interaction over social media.

Then the behavior of many journalists over social media should greatly concern you.

This requires more than visiting a bar one a month / posting wedding photos. It requires significant amounts of time and crossing that threshold is not very common.

This is common among journalists. Particularly those working in niche media.

Making the overall influence far less significant than it might appear.

Those who know the facts behind certain niche stories are amazed at the degree of reality warping done by the mainstream media. Just look at what happened around the Covington kids.
Like I said in the original post, a transfer to Reddit is not impossible, but it would be a significant effort, and it would definitely kill the blog's personality. Even if the curation team comes along, even if the submission numbers don't skyrocket beyond what the team is capable of handling, Reddit lacks a lot of other small features that give the blog personality. If/when Tumblr goes under, I'd prefer to allow my blog to end gracefully rather than trying to port it over to a platform that isn't quite a match.
I am surprised no one is talking about Lyft's risk assessment of their business. Specifically, this line:

Our results of operations vary and are unpredictable from period-to-period, which could cause the trading price of our Class A common stock to decline.

Our results of operations have historically varied from period-to-period and we expect that our results of operations will continue to do so for a variety of reasons, many of which are outside of our control and difficult to predict.

I find the term "period-to-period" rather vague. It could mean quarter-to-quarter or even year-to-year.

Still what they are effectively saying is that Lyft cannot be trusted to provide any growth assessment.

No they knew of O-ring burns before the catastrophe. They measured it, and determined that it was a tolerable amount, because it was less then 10% penetration. Problem was the root cause of the burns was not adequately determined. When you don't know the o-rings are twisting due to internal stress and that those stresses have a dependence on temperature, you miss that catastrophic O-ring failure is a risk at near freezing temperatures.

The second space shuttle crash was the same problem again. Falling chunks of ice and foam. Since nothing major had happened previously, it was assumed everything would be fine.

These failure and problems were the warning signs that something was wrong. There was no design spec for acceptable o-ring burn through or a leading edge heat shield damage threshold spec.

The problem is with mathematical notation, not the students. If you step back and look at mathematics from a product perspective, from a tool designers perspective, it's pretty clear that the user experience is awful. Generation after generation of students encounter this tool and say repeatedly, emphatically, "I hate math." and yet we seem blind to the possibility that the tool itself could be improved.

It's like we're forcing children to learn how to use an astrolabe and then blaming them for finding it complex and inapplicable to their daily lives. Google maps provides the answers they want with a better user experience. I would have astrolabe anxiety, I don't have Google maps anxiety.

Unfortunately there is a pseudo-religious connotation to mathematics. It is "pure", "beautiful", etc. Teachers rarely encourage students to change, improve, disrupt, or invent math.

Mathematical notation and pedagogy is continuously evolving and to think that we're at the global optimum right now both ignores the negative reviews users are constantly providing and ignores the history of math itself.
The only real change I saw, is that people who used to call anyone who suggested the type of mass surveillance Snowden uncovered was going on "tinfoil hatters" changed their deflection to "everyone knew that, I have nothing to hide".
I've used Unix make for personal projects (during and after school) and bazel at work.

"bazel" is more about type checking the build artifacts, caching and guarantees about hermetic and reproducible builds. The distributed compilation is just supported but not a requirement IIUC. idk if it's the best tool but definitely an upgrade over "make".

Whereas "make" looks like an old pseudo scripting utility which has too many degrees of freedom with not much guarantee and is fragile as a result. I think those who learned its quirks love it but I don't.

I've also liked mono repos at work as long as their operations are not sluggish. They immensely help global refactoring, static analysis and reduce the amount of merge conflicts.
I'm pretty sure Tor exit nodes in particular are very public and easy to spot by ISPs and VPS providers, which is why they're very difficult to host at all even now.

Traffic on the Tor network itself is designed to evade tracking or interception but exit nodes are required for communications to reach outside Tor.

> Damore is (objectively) an asshole

Come on, dude. This is no longer a rational argument, you are making personal attacks. Jobs was also an asshole, but he also happened to be right the vast majority of the time. One of my doctors is an asshole (let's call him "Dr. House"), but he's excellent, and I have seen the studies that say "bedside manner" not only doesn't correlate with skill/patient outcomes, it may INVERSELY correlate with skill/patient outcomes.

I don't give a fuck if someone's an asshole, as long as they're right. You can call it the Walter Sobchak worldview (as in "You're not wrong, Walter, you're just an asshole!") All this kowtowing to people's feelings just encourages bullshit; the truth often does not care what you or I think about it.

> Choose any one of the (fairly unoriginal) points he was trying to make and talk about that

OK, sure. Let's go with one point from his "Concrete Suggestions" section. "Stop alienating conservatives." What is unreasonable about that? A work environment that is hostile to conservative viewpoints is a hostile fucking work environment. I'm not even conservative (I'm "left of center") and that seems plain as day to me and completely nondebatable.

> we literally have to buy and consume our way out of climate change.

This is like hoping that we can dig ourselves out of a hole that we already dug ourselves into.

> We're not going to _stop_ buying and consuming, and we're not going to manage to reduce it enough to stop climate change without massive economic recession

If we aren't going to forgo consumption, personal transportation as the only mode of transportation and a market that refuses to properly account for negative externalities, I feel that we should at least be honest about the situation instead of pretending that continuing the status quo will fix climate change and environmental destruction.

Let's just be honest and say that we don't intend to change things, and embrace the fact that climate change might usher in destruction and human suffering on a large scale. That way we can at least address problems as they arise instead of believing in a fantasy where a solution will fall into our laps if we just buy the right cars.
> Why such a law then?

Fight "herd anonymity" provided by a large tor network? Ironically(?) that'd make the original purpose for Tor (covert channel for covert operatives) less viable too.

I went to Purdue and also took a scientific glass blowing course. This was 2006, and even then, it was something of a lost art.

> Was this a purely hands on course? How was it graded?

Almost purely hands-on. It has to be. I dabble in guitar, and like a musical instrument, no amount of reading theory will train your hands to have the dexterity and muscle memory to manipulate soft glass.

We had about 8 projects over the semester. The instructor demoed how to make the project and things to look out for, usually stress in the glass or why you want to build something a specific way.

We had a thin handbook that wasn't really used, and might have actually been published by a company like Corning. I think it covered some of the properties of glass.

We got to warnings at the beginning of the semester: if you care about your GPA, take it pass/fail--there were no A's the prior semester, and you'll get a B if you put in an honest effort, you need to do good work to get an A. The second warning was someone goes to the student health center every semester, and everyone will get a minor cut or burn.

You didn't ask, but a some surprises with glass:

- It's surprisingly strong in the right circumstances. Drop a glass marble on a hard surface and there's a good chance it doesn't break.

- Borosilicate is amazing; it should be the only glass in your kitchen. Its tolerance to rapid temperature chances only works in one direction--cold-hot-cold can make it shatter.

- You can "unbreak" glass. I had a project that started to get a stress fracture as it cooled. I quickly put it back in a cool part of the torch flame to anneal it. The cracks literally healed.

- Different glasses have different thermal expansion properties, so when you join them, you might need an intermediate glass.

- We built everything from tubes. The way you "cut" a tube is score it a few mm with a tungsten carbide scoring knife, firmly grab in both (bare) hands, and snap it away and out. Snap it wrong and the tube shatters in your hands.

- Glass conducts heat poorly. You usually hold the project with a bare hand while the other end is in the flame.

- Early on, I remember being somewhat afraid of using a big flame, and struggling with part of the project. The instructor just told me to use a bigger flame. Use the right tool for the job.

> I fear we will always have a system of government, one way or another, so we would have to use other means other than totally toppling the government (I don't think the masses would support such a radical move at this time).
Exactly. Thus we see ultra-high automation levels in stamping, painting, and welding, where deviations are minimal. But once in final assembly/trim etc. there is a deviation every few cars! The headliner flops around and won't snap in correctly, the line jerks to a halt just as a nut driver engages, etc. COULD you automate for all these case? Yup. But why would you, when you can have ultra-flexible humans. This was always my question about Tesla's automation quest (now apparently dropped): assume maybe 7 hours in final assembly, say $70 an hour labor fully loaded, call it $500. Put in $100 million in extra automation cut the 7 to 3, how long before THAT pays off? Maybe you CAN do it, but it verges on Juicero: did you really need to automate squeezing a bag of veggie pulp?

Automod is an automatic moderator, not a curator unfortunately, which is what we really need.

Tags are in the same general family as flair, but they're distant cousins of each other. Reddit generally expects one flair per post, and for flair to be short. My blog uses a minimum of three tags per post, with around 95% of posts having four to seven tags. A couple of those could go away due to the difference in how flair and tags are used, but that would still be at least two flairs per post on most posts. It also still doesn't solve for very long tags.
Yes, I have one word for you: Mindset. The more you make money in your contractor job, the more it should NOT be hard to imagine a startup or your own thing. Why ? Because doing your own thing has nothing to do with just money. It is an ITCH that has to be scratched if you are meant to be that person who risks it all.

So change your mindset. Don't think about the fact that you will probably be very poor in the beginning of your side project/business/startup etc. That is a given and a fact. If that bothers you, you will never be an entrepreneur. Get that out of your head.

Instead, think about the opportunity cost of you NOT doing your own thing. Think about where could you be in 7-10 years from now if you did do your own thing. Mindset. All about mindset. Now you could of course completely fail and still be poor/broke after few years BUT if you are really that entrepreneurial type, you will still not feel completely lost. You would have learned so much doing your own thing that you will have a satisfaction. At least, that is how I think about what I am doing right (bootstrapped business for almost 5 years and my personal income is still not quite what I used to make in my high paying but boring/miserable Investment Banking IT job)

My final thought: If you want to do your own thing and you are always doubtful, imagine yourself on your death bed. Would you rather regret the fact that you didn't do your own thing or would you regret the fact that you did something but failed ? For me, it is the former. That is what drives me to do my business, nothing else. Money is important but a side effect and yes I want to be rich but that is not my main reason to do a business.
New information (to me anyway) and I didn't see it mentioned here yet. Apparently the MCAS was put into place to begin with in order to deal with a potential "imbalance" situation created by attaching new, bigger engines to an old airframe design.

"The new 737, named as the 737 MAX, would require -as usually- bigger engines, to offer an increased fuel efficiency, competitive to the one of the A320neo. And again, there was no room for them. So, the solution was to extend the front landing gear by eight inches and at the same time to move the LEAP-1B engines even more forward and higher up (image 3). This last design modification was later found to create an upward pitching moment during flight, which could bring the aircraft closer to stall under specific operating conditions. To tackle this problem, Boeing introduced the so-called Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS). The MACS simply trims the stabilizer nose down, to counterbalance the moment created by the new engine positions."

Title: German intelligence employee arrested on suspicion of spying for US on Bundestag NSA committee

https://theintercept.com/2018/02/17/gchq-belgacom-investigat...

Quote: The Belgacom breach sparked outrage in Europe’s political institutions and made global headlines. But Belgium’s effort to identify the spies responsible and hold them accountable faced roadblocks at almost every turn. Europol, the European Union’s law enforcement agency, refused to assist. Prosecutors overseeing the case feared triggering a major diplomatic dispute and were reluctant to pursue it aggressively. Meanwhile, British spies tried to destroy the evidence. “We wanted to show that as a small country, we would not be bullied,” said a source close to the investigation. “But we were fighting against two big cyberarmies from the U.K. and the U.S. We knew we could never win this.”

Quote: The consultant Florian Kling, formerly a cyber officer and public relations expert for the German Armed Forces, told Stoltenberg on Twitter : "Explain why the civil network is important to NATO, how NATO / US would communicate through these channels "It's not a military or landline core, and should not I trust our crypto capabilities?" Other military officials also see this as follows: "Our intelligence services work together excellently - classified information is guaranteed not to be transported via a 4G or 5G network, but rather in completely different ways," said Patrick Sensburg on Deutschlandradio . The CDU deputy and lieutenant colonel of the reserve sits in the intelligence committee Parlamentarisches Kontrollgremium (PKGr). "This is about the exercise of economic power," emphasized Professor Sensburg.
