"Monopoly" as formulated back before the 1990's is outdated in terms of the issue of Free Speech in 2019. Mere dominant marketshare enabled by network effects can be used to enact effective censorship. Censorship doesn't need to take the form of absolute censorship -- and hasn't since the 1980's. (See Manufacturing Consent)

The power of viral trending and discovery, combined with the synergistic economic advantage of monetization amount to an insurmountable advantage in 2019. A small group of Silicon Valley oligarchs reserving this power for only the opinions they like is absolutely dangerous. Calling the situation "fair" would be like calling "fair" a race between someone in a Tesla and someone on horseback.

Opinions guided by such power have nothing to do with debate or seeking truth. That's all just power controlling discourse, and through that, controlling society's thought. That's like declaring a vigilante group to have "won" the public mandate, because they have all the guns, and no one speaks up against them. If SV's CEOs really want the right ideas to win in the marketplace of ideas, they need to create fair stages and level playing fields. They need to fully acknowledge the human right of Free Speech. They need to stop coercing.

It's the bias and use of power (essentially corruption) which fuels the horrible voices.

This is why the Marines specifically wanted a STOVL variant. Horizontal speed can be arbitrarily slow for a STOVL jet, even zero, and STOVL jets can take off from small, hastily constructed airfields. Likewise, most close air support these days is actually from helicopters.

I agree with you on the clipboard thing, but as with every other API that gives access to sensitive information, they could have put it behind a permission prompt. It wouldn't make the situation worse than it is now, and wouldn't annoy users and developers nearly as much.
Doesn’t your library have rooms for patron use?

Seattle Public Library has all kinds. They even have music practice rooms, with pianos and soundproofed walls. I used to go there after work.
There is no winning move in Afghanistan: the President who pulls out will be blamed when Afghanistan returns to its pre-war state, and political enemies will chalk it up as a "loss."

There might be a chance of ending the war during a lame duck presidency, but that President will be thinking of Legacy at that point.

Thus the only politically-viable course of action is to keep the war going. As a sibling comment mentioned: war serves more than one purpose.

Unless of course the culture of America shifts to an anti-war or non-interventionist stance and sees peace as more important than "winning" or "losing" in Afghanistan. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening any time soon.

I'm always curious about expository writing like this. I have pretty bad ADHD, so unless the topic is interesting or the information is summarized, I'd rather pay money than be forced to read it. (I noped out of this article pretty quickly.)

What makes reading articles in this style interesting? It takes a lot of time, so there's definitely an opportunity cost.
The Army isn't allowed to operate fixed-wing aircraft. Also, it's entirely possible the Army is more than satisfied with their Apache attack helicopters and no longer needs an anti-tank machine gun with an airplane attached.
I suppose what I meant to say was ‘in a criminal case’. You can be compelled to give evidence against yourself in non-criminal cases in the US too, the fifth amendment provides for protection only in criminal cases. I’m not sure if you can be compelled to give evidence against yourself in criminal cases in Australia, but in any case, royal commissions are not criminal cases, they’re commissions with quasi-judicial Powers (mainly because they have the power to compel people to do produce evidence, etc.)
Actually there was a discussion about adding Keybase to F-Droid repositories. However, it seem that contributors in that issue failed to build this app.

I did a coding bootcamp with a bunch of folks. A few older guys like me, and mostly younger folks. We all had a great time working together (I wish we could have more) and we compared notes after interviews.

Older folks like me, got lots of "culture" questions that were so vague. I'd ask what they mean but they can't really explain what they were getting at. I'd just explain that I've worked with a lot of different people, mentored new employees, etc.

When we compared interview notes younger folks, never heard that phrase. Now that could be nothing, but it felt like something.

One guy from the camp actually had the HR person call him up and say they were concerned about his age. When he asked her what that meant, she couldn't explain exactly. He thought maybe she realized what she said and was embarrassed, he was annoyed so he asked later what they were concerned about "oh your age, you're older".... nope, she apparently didn't think anything was wrong with that.

Meanwhile I got my job eventually. I see folks come and go. Younger folks realizing they don't like the work and moving on (nothing wrong with that) others invited to move on. The president of the company says to me one day "You just seem to get a lot of these things, you can talk to customers, our sales guys, I like your communication.." and so on. Like yeah, because I've done other technical things before, have experience. Experience pays in a lot of ways.
I sure saw a lot of overtly antisemitic, racist, white supremacist imagery in that article...

> In principle, I am opposed. I don't think hiding unwanted dialogue is very helpful in the long run. It just makes it fester somewhere else that isn't as visible.

Let's prod at this:

- Should ISIS recruitment videos and propaganda be allowed (nay, encouraged) because deplatforming them will make them put their recruitment pamphlets elsewhere? Where else do they put their recruiting materials?

- Should we publicly and loudly encourage people to self harm, ideate suicide, etc. because if we don't, they'll just find secret places to do it?

- Should we consider white supremacist recruiting materials "dialogue" at all? If we're talking about dialogue, as in a formal debate between Richard Spencer and pretty much anyone else, one on one, that's potentially interesting (also embarrassing for Spencer). On the other hand, a video posted by a white supremacist isn't dialogue. It's even less dialogue when they can delete comments they can't aptly respond to, and when the people there are already interested (Richard Spencer videos weren't ever going to cross my feed). You're calling this dialogue, but it's really a one sided dog and pony show with maybe some unlucky sacrifices. Perhaps we shouldn't ban dialogue between white supremacists and normal people, but you're not advocating for dialogue, your advocating for Facebook (and whomever else) to support (distribute, platform, etc.) white supremacist propaganda and theater.

>I don't want to live in a society where what can and can't be said is strictly regulated either by force or by general consent.

How do you propose to create a society where people aren't allowed to dislike you? That's what you're asking for, essentially. "Freedom from consequences" is the common way of putting this, but really what you're asking for is an infringement on my freedom of association. If you piss enough people off, that'll come back to bite you. What's the alternative? That people can't hold you accountable for your previous words? That quickly devolves into a society of 4chan, which, well, I'm not sure why you'd want to live in that.

>For example, the opinion I'm expressing now used to be a lot more common than it is today.

How certain of this are you? Did black people or women have the freedoms you suggest 100-150 years ago in the US? Was anyone advocating for that?
You misspelled homeless people.
I've been Engineer Alice before (not with a security issue, but a pretty bad systems issue). In case anyone is ever in that situation, here are some more productive replacements for that existential sigh (in that they sometimes work). Choose the one most suited to manager's biases. The cliches are important: think of it as giving manager an easy way to explain it to their manager.

> Yes, but that would only help with this specific case. The proper fix would ensure that we don't see a similar issue tomorrow. We don't want to prepare for yesterday's battle.

> Yes, but the extra regex rule would be new code, which would need its own maintenance in perpetuity. Fixing it properly would let us remove the existing code. Removing code is the most efficient thing an engineer can do, and will save man-hours in the long run.

To me, it is similar to memorizing the spell keystrokes for Moria, the roguelike I played when younger. "mab" to cast a magic missile.

Not as "big number" as you might think. The x, y, and z terms were: (8,866,128,975,287,528)³ + (–8,778,405,442,862,239)³ + (–2,736,111,468,807,040)³ = 33.

The biggest number will fit inside of 53 bits, 54 if you include the sign bit. Which means all of the values fit inside of 64-bits (including the sign bit). The cubes will fit within 192-bits.

If this truly were a "big number" problem, then brute-force wouldn't be a valid methodology!
>There were dozens, probably hundreds, violent leftist groups.

Maybe the problem is you aren't a native English speaker and don't know that "were" is a past tense form of "is".

Also, you might be interested to learn that the United States (where this conversation was plainly centered before you attempted to change the subject) is an entirely separate country from that of Peru, Germany, Italy, Indonesia, etc.

Further, the twentieth century is not what we are experiencing today. That's called the twenty-first century.

Those who are actually observant rather than just snarky might notice that I said no such thing.

What I actually said is, first, when you don't tolerate intolerance, you become (at least in technique) similar to the people you are fighting. And second, don't be so sure that you aren't the bad guys. And the more absolutely sure you are that you're the good guys, the more I want you to back off and take a really hard look at whether that is actually true, because the bad guys can use exactly your logic (or at least gameskrishnan's) to convince themselves that they're the good guys.

Gender, ie cultural context, does in fact play a role on how we speak and both the pitch and intonation of how we speak.

You ever hear of upspeak/uptalking? Vocal fry? It's not so simple as just sex driven characteristics. (Although testosterone does impact the development of vocal chords.)
Don’t change your Twitter birthday to 2007 unless you are trying to take a Twitter break until 2020.
OP said "Republican stuff", which if he meant that various conservative/Republican leaning stuff has been censored on Facebook, that's definitely true. Search around; most cases typically range from "persecution complex/not actually censorship" to "automated processes have implicit bias" to "neutral on the surface but always seem to hurt conservative causes". With FB you tend to see automated things catch conservative stuff, then get overturned on appeal rather than permabanning people.

Facebook banning outside ads for the Ireland abortion referendum comes to mind, as well as the case where a Christian satire site was threatened with a ban for spreading false information because Snopes had fact-checked one of their articles as false. Susan B. Anthony List had a bunch of pro-life ads banned; I think most of them were restored.

https://stream.org/328684-2/ this is a more recent case that follows a familiar pattern: Flagged, rejected appeal, then mysteriously overturned appeal some days later.

In Texas/Oklahoma, the Office Max / Office Depot stores I've been to have all been decent. I almost only go to them for printing services (and at every store, the printing people have been great), but I've bought a cheap mouse here and there when I couldn't wait for shipping. I've seen signs for those "services", but never any upsells. I guess it would be different if an average customer tried to buy a computer, idk.
Work has always been a source of community.
Honestly I think the best way to address this, is to call it out before it becomes an issue.

Tell them why you're still in an engineering role.

There is a reason, and some folks are just bad at their jobs, have no people skills or their skills stalled decades ago and they checked out.

Others, like yourself, are still interested in engineering and have no interest in management.

You're at an age where you will always be put on equal footing or above those you interview with BECAUSE of your age. Use it.
Constrained supply is a non-issue until it becomes an issue. But, this is a whole new currency being set up. Making inflation a non-issue from the start is a feature.

However, I think you are trying to compare Bitcoin to the US Dollar. US Dollar inflation has been reasonable if you live paycheck to paycheck. But, remember Bitcoin is not just for people living in the Bay Area. It’s also for Venezuelans, Zimbabweans, etc...

It depends on what kind of work they're doing. If they're doing government contracting, they'll probably never get fired because they fill so many "diversity checkboxes" that their company will want to keep them on just for help winning contracts.

I got my PhD in physics back in 2012, after doing my dissertation in spin dependent transport phenomena in magnetic materials.

got a job at Intel as a back end process engineer, which was pretty cool, but I was then laid off in 2015.

These days I'm all about machine learning. Teaching myself by creating content, and hopefully educating others. It's been really cool seeing the overlap in some concepts (systems seeking minimum energy vs. gradient descent) between ML and physics, and I'm hoping my background will pay dividends as I get deeper into the field.

> Through all of mankind['s history,] we had strong mechanisms to form consensus, including social repercussions.

So, you're saying this mechanism is a good thing? Because mechanisms that reinforce the current social consensus, whatever it might be for that era, tend to maintain the status quo. And a desire to maintaining the status quo is a big chunk of the philosophy of, yep, that's right, ... conservatives.

I've often said progressives aren't liberals because they don't agree with liberal philosophical values of the Enlightenment. Their "maintain the current societal consensus" argument is the strongest evidence of that yet.

im not talking about situations where you love your job and your job "does not love you back". Im talking about situations where its mutual. in those very rare situations you stay and dont move around because:

- you do get your salary bumped every year with consistent raises
- you get promoted and grow along with the company.

Its rare but it happens. when it happens you stick with the company and build something great.
I just don't see how hashing is going to prevent copyright violations when motivated people can make insignificant edits to files to change their hashes, especially on text files (add a random string to the end), images (change the HSL of a single pixel), and music (add an extra space in the ID3 tag). The whole thing seems like a Sisyphean task. Any list of hashes will grow to unmanageable size almost immediately.

Just reading some of the comments here makes me want to ask: is there an opportunity to disrupt the whole interviewing / hiring process with something along the lines of the show The Dating Game?.. where employers know a limited amount of data to make a hire?

Would this solve problems, or make more?

LN is a half baked idea.

Only your main point is potentially valid for LN. And even that I'd be highly skeptical.

Years ago, LN was used to buy two pizzas. Today? Only two. Talk about scale!

Second, user privacy is utter untrue mainly due to all the hubs (of the hub/spoke network) are KYCs. That's the opposite of privacy.

Third, usability currently you need hot wallets which are a terrible UI/UX. Even the beloved LN Trust experiment is having hiccups [1].

Honestly looking for discussion: Why should we treat ages all the same? Age does change a person, physically/ mentally/ emotionally. It would seem that some companies and industries are better served by the young and some the old. Why is there a problem with that?

Clearly these companies aren't firing the old out of spite, are there are reasons?
