Well the site is down for me, sort of seems to support the gist of the articles title (Got 521 error - Web site down), can ping the domain. Would "they" really bring down a site that is critical of "them" or is it coincidental?
Great article, thanks for the concise and actionable NVC intro!

If it's someone who can cut your pay, then deal with it, for money, until you find a better option.

Otherwise, tell them that you find that the meetings aren't adding value since you've already exchanged all the info that can be communicated, and excuse yourself.
Well, one of the theories is that pesticides weaken bees and make them more vulnerable to varroa mites and other parasites, diseases etc. (the "potential immune-suppressing stress" in your quote).
I think there is a feeling that this law was largely authored by/for narrow (commercial) interests in the entertainment industry, with little to no regard for its consequences for other parts of the web like open discussion forums and projects such as Wikipedia.
Not denying responsibility is essential to NVC.

It's patronizing if you have made your mind and only involve others into discussions to get support or ease them into going along and accepting. "I have to do X, I'm here to listen how you feel about X and empathize with you." is not real NVC. "Have to" is denying responsibility to outside conditions.

NVC is best used when you have to do something and have a problem and are willing to communicate it to others as way to learn and find a solutions..
IMO You can't force people to behave in a manner that is most condusive to you- especially if the manner they're behaving is most advantageous to themselves (a previous example you provided is to be able to deflect blame by sharing tasks). There is no NVC strategy to force people to behave in manners you want them to, only to try and convince them that your goals are aligned- if they're simply not, then that's just how it goes.

This seems to be the point of the article. That even down to the words we use to describe humankind, it is the male form that gets designated the “reference” form.

This has bigger implications in the design of safety equipment and tooling, sure, but the fact that no one dies because of the use of “mankind” vs “humankind” doesn’t mean we should dismiss it.

You can also say that EU citizens mostly voted for the current EU parliament.
Funny how it's always the google haters: https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=ocdtrekkie
I am curious how this will affect Brexit. At some point it looked like public opinion in UK leaned against it. Right now it seems that EU is ready to pass any law which is pushed by a powerful lobby, even if this law is not the most well-thought idea like Article 11 and 13. This does not make EU better place to be in.

In fact if Germany and France agree on something, this going to happen. I don't think that UK will accept that, even if they risk "hard brexit" (which is largely demonized, I can't believe that any bigger EU economy would just give up trading with UK, especially when World economy will start slowing down and every eurocent will count).

My previous employer made it a condition of their BYOD mobile policy that I wouldn’t side load apps onto my device.

So even though it’s technically possible, it’s not always a going to happen.

There’s also side loading as a malware vector. If you do side load, you need to remember to turn off non-AppStore access immediately after.

The tech industry are also major lobbyists, who often spend more on influencing politicians in their favor than the entertainment industry does. Commercial interests were on both sides, as much as they'd like you to believe it was a valiant fight of the little guys to save the Internet.
To what degree has Britain's waning influence contributed to this? London was historically Europe's most competent commercially-minded city. I'm hopeful to see a counterbalance emerge in Frankfurt or Paris, but the writing on the wall indicates that's unlikely.
Europe just voted to change the face of the internet
That sounds like not your problem. If A deflects blame to B, to escape C's judgement, then B can make their case to C separately. There's no reason to prevent A from having a conversation from B at all.
Lots of laws propagate to other places, as time passes. Brazil now has its own GDPR version, which is heavily inspired by EU's GDPR. Some laws are good to be the same, others are not (this is one of the reasons people has been supporting the most recent nationalist movements).

The EU is not democratic at all. Especially because the unelected European Commission has executive and legislative power.
The parliament only has veto rights and even at that it spectacularly fails as Art. 17 shows.

The whole thing was a backroom deal between Germany (which wants gas from Russia) and France (which apparently really likes ultra restrictive Copyright). We would have the same result without this fake theater of the simulated democracy facade. Time to abolish the EU.
It's purely democratic. Median age of Germans is 48 and most old people just want cheap gas to heat their houses. They are still offline and don't care about the pyramid scheme /dba/ welfare state.
This is not necessarily true. I learned Kubernetes and converted a complex network of services over from Docker about a year ago. It took me about a month. I barely have to do anything for ongoing maintenance. It's taking up less of my time than Docker Swarm did, and Swarm took up less of my time than the Ansible mess I had before that. More stuff is automated (e.g. by using k8s cron jobs). The scheduler is pretty good now and handles almost all situations by itself.

As a sole developer, I couldn't run what I do WITHOUT such an orchestration platform.

And yes, I administer my own cluster on a bunch of Vultr VMs. I've had fewer problems with this over the last 3 years than it seems people have had on GCS (recent news of outage fresh in memory).
A communications problem described with 4 lines of text is not going to get solved. But I really like airing my views, so you can have a cold read on top of what the other commentators have written. This is generic stuff that I think about when I watch people make mistakes in conversation.

Odds are pretty good that any problem is building up over a couple of conversations before it manifests, people are usually obviously walking into trouble, sometimes weeks before things get obviously bad. Often a presentation problem (always doing something that does a little damage but isn't important, like 'joking' insults or forcefully characterising the situation), sometimes an attitude problem (it is surprisingly easy to clearly perceive things that are not there, like the situation being extremely positive or negative - there are some unbelievable whingers out there), often an expectations problem (wanting something out of the conversation that just isn't going to be given, like firm commitment to a radical idea).

When I see people who can't get a straight answer, or when it happens to me and I reflect carefully with hindsight, usually it is an expectations problem that leads to other issues. It isn't much fun accepting to that sort of problem though, so bad luck it that fits you. On rare occasions, I've identified expectation problems and then just abandoned a relationship because I don't want to change.

One related addendum I make to the NVC framework is people make all decisions by copying other people who look successful. Expect no exceptions unless proven otherwise.
The lies told by the leave campaign has been extensively documented, including by courts. It's all a google search away.
Hey, Look at Me I’m a Venture Capitalist
Natural selection, combined with a limited number of ways of fitting all the observations together into one or even a few coherent wholes means the representation correlates well enough with the external world so as to confer reproductive fitness. The agent with the representation most conducive to successfully navigating the environment, avoiding danger, and reproducing passes on the genes which informs the next generation's representation.

It does mean however, there's always epistemic uncertainty with regards to what reality is actually like. See Kant's noumenon for further details.

Also, I would suggest voting on a party-bases i.e. voting for Pirates in your region.
Which is a case in point about the will of the people. Especially in very complicated situations, the people do not necessarily understand the impact of their choices, which is why they select representatives to act in their stead.

It's all a bit different than in the EU because people may be able to vote against that at some point.. Whether that happens is another question entirely, though.

GOOD point. Also o2 was higher leading to more compact powerful muscles?
> It is stunning that critical thinking is now so bad that they can convince a majority of MEPs this is not a complete fantasy.

I don't think MEPs are dumb or incompetent for anything other than choosing the wrong people to advise them on technical issues. Consider that not everyone necessarily understands how internet content even works.

Politicians don't even seem to understand that you can't "just scan content that infringes on copyright"; that you have to scan the content precisely to find out if it does so.

What worries me is how they don't admit that they don't understand the situation. That they blindly believe that they can get a rough understanding of things and create good laws easily.

What worries me even more is how they ignored the clear protest from large parts of the population and just powered through it as fast as they could. It's the same as with GDPR; they only hurt the small guys because they don't understand what they're even making the law for.

Democracy does not mean that you always get what you want. A majority in parliament and the council were in favor of this law, so you can't say it's undemocratic.

Thank you. I believe your final sentence has really helped me understand an actual issue I am currently facing, but hadn't realized yet.
This illustrates the confusion around infrastructure and apps by 'devops' in a rather telling way. It's a bit like comparing Mysql or Postgresql and Aurora. Both give you databases and even some builtin replication technology but only one gives you databases plus availability and scalability out of the box.

Without that you would have to engineer your own distributed architecture and actually have the infrastructure in terms of bandwidth, regions, networking and data centers to scale to.

AWS gives you availability and scalability out of the box. Usually only a cloud provider can give you that with physical infrastructure in multiple regions, bandwidth, networking, things like floating ips, replicated storage and in the case of things like Aurora architecture and engineering. Kubernetes is a container orchestration application.
It's the biggest blow the EU has given me so far. And yes, my support for the EU got weakened a lot by this. Just... the guys voting for this law had generally been the converative and more nationalistic parties which usually argue against the EU.
Judging by how things have progressed, it doesn't seem like those elected representatives have a much better understanding of the impact either.
Every time I see your name attached to a comment I know that comment is going to be low effort and low quality.

You have not disappointed me today.
A good thread explaining the next steps:
https://twitter.com/why0hy/status/1110514962366189568

TL;DR summary: The directive will have to be implemented in national legislations, a ~2 year long process. There are a bunch of contradictory laws and regulations to be reconciled. Your app or platform can probably ignore the new rules as they're too unclear and unenforceable - but do join trade associations that can provide good, reliable legal support.

[Edit] here's another article from EFF explaining the next steps:

It's interesting, because I believe as a child we learned a simplistic version of this in elementary school. The basic construct was the "I feel ______, when ______." Obviously, this was for child-level conflict resolution, so unlike the guidance provided in NVC it most likely left it open to making accusations ("I feel hurt when you pull my hair"). But it's possible that children might do better with that sort of directness compared to adults in more complicated situations.

But I have continued to use that approach as a manager and had never heard of NVC before I saw this article. I really appreciated the expanded guidance and a better way to plan the conversation. I also found the section on Consequences to be helpful as well. When you are in an authority position, I believe it is important to help people understand that there might be consequences to their actions or continued in-action.

Hey, I hate google almost as much as people who eat while on the computer, but I still think this law is dumb. Many have already pointed out how it actually plays directly into the hands of Google and other big tech.
Why CBD specifically? Where do you get that data?
Exactly.

Ever since WWII the US had sponsored all kinds of media, funded opposition parties (of whole dictators, guerrilla armies, and so on), wined, dined and bribed foreign journalists, politicians etc to spread the stories they liked, runs thousands of cover publications, organizations, "NGOs", and media, including the more transparent ones, like "Radio Free Europe", and so on.

Others are doing it too? Cry me a river...

pure whataboutism.
These are pretty weak arguments to get rid of the EU.
In many democracies, the government has the power to propose legislation. And what democracy doesn't have backroom deals?
I get 244~ on both a 11" laptop and and a 21" external monitor.
Abolishing the EU would have the unfortunate consequence of unmitigated Russian influence over all of East Europe. The system needs to change, but abolishing the EU entirely would be a net loss.
Yup, for me EU democracy looks like Roman Republic democracy at the turn of eras. People living at the times of First Triumvirate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Triumvirate) also thought that they live in democracy, they could vote and choose their representatives. Yet, as we know today, no decision could have been made without agreement of Julius Caesar, Gnaeus Magnus and Marcus Crassus.
I’ve been using DDG full time everywhere for a year and it was really good but has become pretty bad in the last few months. I begrudgingly have to open Google more and more. Not sure what is up.
What makes you think the UK is against stupid copyright measures?

It's currently unlawful to format-shift (eg, rip CD to MP3) in England, so it's unlikely we'd have put up much argument against this.

Always so much confusion. Ballistics--the smaller 55gr bullet flies at upwards of 3000fps. Yes, you can carry more ammo and make up for the missing mass with more velocity behind it and get a near equivalence of results that way. The .30 cal is only around 2200fps but 165gr bullets carry more force over longer distances. If your maximum range is only 150 yards, you don't care, though. The problem is, there are a lot of variables. Heavy jungle cover can cause 5.56 to deflect, for one example. I'd still take that .30 cal for most situations. .223 was invented for ground hogs!

You don't get much accuracy at range with a .22 bullet in 55gr with 1:12 twist, which is why the current versions are 1:7, 1:8 and use 62gr and on up (68, 77, and even 80 and 90 gr favored in competition these days). You can get an AR type rifle to hit accurately at 1000 yards, but it's trickier than going with a bigger bullet out of a larger cartridge. 6.5mm would have been a far better compromise overall. The British had it right and got ignored.

Aside from the somewhat puny cartridge, the M16 was a fabulous concept for a wholly different reason--the use of aircraft manufacturing processes and materials which really set it apart. Most of the parts are cast and them machined compared to the forged and welded steel on 1940s and 1950s era tech. The M16 was advanced because of its straight line design, controllability, and lighter weight. An M14 on full auto will beat you to death--it's just the worst. A FAL or G3 on full auto is almost do-able but the M14 downright stinks. The Browning BAR in 30-06 isn't nearly as bad (because it's heavier) and I guess the designers of the M14 thought they could get away with it.

The proliferation of the AR type rifles is due to two things: The huge expansion of CNC machining technology which has turned out to be far cheaper than stamping and welding, and the tremendous ease of maintenance and flexibility. My first AR-15 cost upwards of $1000 years ago and now you can buy a "generic" most decent rifle for around $400. This is what scares the hell out of regulators and gun control advocates--technology itself. What underlies the terror for those people is how machine shop tech has been so democratized. Anyone with a modicum of skill can obtain the equipment fairly reasonable and build practically any gun they want. Think: The M16 is from the 1950s and early 1960s. The earliest machine guns date back to the late 1800s, and "decent" gun technology is well over 400 years old at this point. There is nothing, not the chemistry nor any other part of this technology that isn't well established and understood at this point.
Machine learning based moderation has time and time again proven to be woefully inadequate. Human intervention is required, and Content ID does not meet the requirements of this new article. And I would argue the amount of cash Google and Facebook stockpile rather than hiring human moderators reflects that they are doing far from "their best".

Platforms that have human reviewed content or where people self-host their own content will have no issues with this change, and platforms will be likely significantly less profitable if they truly move to comply with the law, as it will require armies of humans, or massive liability costs.
>I can't even begin to relate to this point of view. Why does everything have to be side-taking, where nobody is allowed to be accused of anything if somebody else, now or in the past, has committed even just the same genre of crime?

Because when you criticize one side, you are side-taking. And everything you say or write is used to justify global politics (and is primed to do just that). There's no "impartiality" when you single out one side to criticize.

Either put it in context, or make a statement criticizing all parties doing the same. It's not really difficult to study and learn about things, and put them in perspective, instead of singling out a party as some unique "evil".

And it is doubly insulting to countries and peoples who have suffered your version of doing the same thing to see you point out others and demand their heads for it. It's adding hypocrisy to injury.

>To me, it's all terribly demoralizing.

To me people making accusations only for others, and neglecting their side's serious complicity in the same thing, is not only terribly demoralizing, not only hypocritical, but also strategic.

The 60s anti-culture movement could simultaneously criticize USSR, the Prague invasion, etc AND Uncle Sam and Vietnam. Not just in their media, even in a single song oftentimes.

Now it's 1000 articles criticizing one side as uniquely evil with not even a whisper of own actions, and 10 giving the internal perspective. Not exactly balanced (talking about foreign politics here. In internal politics, I guess it's more like "Hurray for the democrats/republicans establishment ideas, down with Trump" what passes for criticism of both democrat/republicans and Trump).

(And anybody attempting to correct that is hit with the thought-stopping accusation of "whataboutism")
