Reading these comments initially got me sad. How many echoes of the article’s theme - ‘look at this flaw and how I exploited it’. At first I thought the author had cast a magical spell to bring out the dark side in us. But really, The initiative in us that is adversarial already exists and is simply suppressed. We go about all day acting ‘civilized’ while the animal in us paces nervously waiting for an opportunity to get out. And in the anonymity of the net, we let the animal out. How many of us would brag about these accomplishments to our children or to our boss at work?

But then I realized how honest every post was. How anonymity also encouraged ‘free’ speech. And remarkably how much data was shared. Before the net, when we couldn’t be anonymous, we couched our meanings in bs and obfuscation. The ‘bs’ meter was a finely tuned process that you had to develop and run in the background to sort the chaff from a person’s words. Now, comments are often accompanied by a github link where I can read and test the code that people brag about. Thank you internet
No, that's the first amendment. It does not equal freedom of speech, and the US constitution is not the be all and end all on how rights like that work.

There's plenty of material in the philosophical world about freedom of speech in regards to censorship by private parties and other people.

There was an earlier post on here about municipalities in Japan offering abandoned houses for practically nothing. And I have to admit, ever since seeing that, the fantasy of building a retreat in "tropical" Kagoshima has been a constant in my mind ;)
> So you are saying, basically, if there was Unix why do we have Windows since no one asked for it.

No. Windows is not free. Perhaps your interpretation of "these free services" is a bit far from mine. The topic was FB and the services it offers, which, for the majority of users (sans advertisers) isn't overwhelmingly different from other free social networks, which aren't disappearing because they're not making billions in profits.
My uncle chain smoked and lived till 90, but I wont argue that smoking extends life. One example does not prove a case.

Unless you think people should be punished for thought crimes, that seems like exactly the right kind of "it worked" to me. You don't want to give these toxic communities a broad recruitment platform and you don't want them to destroy your forum culture. That's your right as the provider of a privately owned social network. Of course, they can go elsewhere. They can make their own website and host it in another country, if they really want to.

These kind of bans are not about doing favors or not, they are about maintaining a site that you can live with as a company or private forum owner. It has been like that online on every public forum since the dialup BBS system days.

If on the other they plan to commit crimes, then that's a matter for police and the public prosecutor's office, not for private companies, no matter where those groups go or meet.
One can always cherry pick good or bad elements of FB use, but the vast majority of users and the average use case would not have anything to do on the Community Voices page.

Most people use facebook to satisfy vices such as outrage addiction, vanity, and jealousy/noseyness.

Even cable news runs an uplifting story every now and then, but for the most part simply magnifies and profits from the worst in society.
Well, really it was designed for ObjC interop. Hence the limits on (e.g.) generic protocols.

Where did women's suffrage first appear in the US? Was it "radical" action that caused it? (hint, Utah and Wyoming, two very very non leftist places and nearly 50 years before national suffrage in 1920).

Where did you get this idea that all beneficial to human rights came from the radical left? Sociology 101 at Big State U?

You think Pol Pot was beneficial for human freedoms? You think he did so much good in the world? Where does he fit on your progressive timeline march towards an enlightened future?

Honestly what you have is very similar to religion. Tone same as an unreasonable Jihadist convinced if everyone would just accept Islam world would be oh so great and by whatever means necessary.

But, I've been 25-30 years in the past similar to where you are now. Heard the same claptrap in college. Thought similar things. A few decades of observation on the real world results of leftist policies and honest self reflection led me to acquire a bit more nuanced view of the world. But, I get it.

However I'd urge a bit more examination of any non thinking absolutist ideology. They are forms of self imposed mental illness really and don't make things better nor make one happy. Not a criticism. Just a suggestion because I want to help and make things better :)
Wow, I remember joining Voat way back when it first started and it just seemed like an angsty Reddit. I even started a group for my home town.

Just read that thread and it's crazy how much it has festered since then. Everyone there just seems so angry all the time, there are zero positive posts on the front page. How do people live their lives so angry all the time?
I echo your statement. I knew of Facebook rather early on and even back then it seemed like a bad idea to sign up.

What I find interesting, though, is that Facebook feels like an entirely unknown part of the internet for me as a result. A lot of the links and what not on Facebook are like closed doors for me.

That would significantly increase the taxes on agricultural use. Is that your intent? To incentivize high density residential, while making it hard to grow food?
I sometimes ask a similar question about matter/antimatter symmetry, if the “tiny asymmetry” that gets used as an explanation for why any baryonic matter exist at all, could be explained by the antiparticles we should’ve annihilated with being on the other side of our cosmic event horizon.
Depending on the state you are in, it is also very bad to have wife earn way less than you -- because it almost prompts divorce (salaries get distributed evenly post divorce, or more when children are involved.) Most of my successful male friends ensure they have high-earning (equal ideally) spouses to ensure there isnt a natural setup for divorce. This favors late childbirth amongst the wealthy.

Thanks, and yes! I was originally thinking "pull-to-refresh", but since your comment, I've enhanced the phishing with another trick: a large buffer at the top of the scroll jail, which prevents the user from reaching the top, and thus prevents the user from using "pull-to-refresh". Now, the only way I know to reliably get out of the page is to move to another app, then back to Chrome - this seems to cause it to re-display the true URL bar.
The services used are proportional to bodies inhabiting, at least to some extent. Sewage, roads for example.
If you just need to fetch values by a key, for the main storage (might be even as simple as generated by a sequence generator) you can even avoid the asynchronous background compaction overhead and thus unpredictable read- or write-peaks and so on by hashing the keys if it's not already an integer/long based identifier: Basically storing a persistent (both on-disk persistence as well as in the functional sense immutable) hash array based trie. This can easily be extended to store a new revision through copy-on-write semantics. Instead of storing whole page snapshots however, storage advanced now permit fine granular access to your data. Thus you can basically apply lessons learned from backup systems to version the data pages itself and even improve on that.

Disclaimer: I'm the author of a recent article about a free open source storage system I'm maintaining, which versions data at it's very core: "Why Copy-on-Write Semantics and Node-Level-Versioning are key to Efficient Snapshots": https://hackernoon.com/sirix-io-why-copy-on-write-semantics-...

Bullshit is saying "We stand for free speech" and then later saying "the best way to deal with toxic and hateful viewpoints is to censor and hide them."

Belief in free speech as a principle assumes that good and right arguments will win out every day in an open public forum.
It just sits oddly for me.

Facebook was indeed always like that, and it even became apparent as time went on. Yet people did not care until the media decided that Facebook was bad (instead of acting like their minds were blown by it 24/7), and even at that most people continue to use it. Facebook could be spying on people in the shower and they'd continue using it because their platform is one of a plethora of distractions that allow people to not have to think about the truth while practicing both apathy and recreational outrage.
He was also differentiating between 1500 and 4500 options, which suggested he didnt value them at zero.
It can be more sinister. Although I am sure the other answers are right in some circumstances, I was curious a while ago, so I actually clicked one.

Whether you click allow or deny, it shot off a network request to a third party domain. This lets the third party know your browser's user agent, and if they have an exploit for your browser they will send a payload that compromises the browser with the intent of installing an adware extension.

It failed to install on the machine I made for it (Ubuntu18/Chrome) but it did manage to navigate me to an advert from the click.
Should developers stop estimating their tickets?
A modern Japanese man, working in tech in California, in his late thirties or early forties spoke with his parents back home in Tokyo five years ago about two houses the family owns, which are in desirable areas, well-maintained and currently occupied. The taxes and financing are such that there is no current scenario where the man could own one or both of these homes. It is simply too expensive. None of the people in this vignette are poor, they are all moderately wealthy people, who have fairly substantial income, and some savings.

Move the story to California. A three bedroom home in the San Francisco Bay Area, covered by Proposition 13, purchased by ordinary working people with good financial habits, around the 1970 time frame, and a working late-thirties, early forties person with some savings and good financial habits, cannot afford to take the home under almost any circumstances due to property taxes (cost of ownership) and competition for financing (loans not available in practice due to terms).

There is a lot of emotion on both sides of the Pacific in each of these cases. Individuals are quick to point fingers at the other individuals. It has been decades in the making, and the situation is not new. Many on both sides of the Pacific are renting at high prices (no accumulated capital) and deferring (or avoiding) having children.
It's the same kind of question like "Why would you want to hire people that don't want to do our algorithm puzzles/don't want to call themselves coding rockstars/don't have the same interests outside work". It's restricting the people you interact with along more or less arbitrary lines that are not a reliable indicator of quality/usefulness.

People like to frame it as "if they can't even figure out IRC", but that's a straw man. Nearly everyone can "figure out IRC", the question is if they want to bother with it when there's alternative things they could do.

(and I say that as someone who by far prefers IRC over every other group chat system)
The burden of proof is to show that it IS as bad or worse after deplatforming, given the observation that it reduces the problem locally and makes it harder for new people to discover and convert into those communities.

Treating jobs as “just a paycheck” is normal and healthy.
In my experience, this works when you're younger, but as you age, you tend to accumulate responsibilities that take up a lot of your remaining energy. YMMV though.
It is. In my city at least. And at the federal level for landlords as well.

My local taxes depend on my land value + my house value.

Larger land, (or more desirable) more taxes.

In federal taxes, for a rental unit, you get a depreciation expense only on the value of the structure. Not on the land. So more valuable land vs. structure, less federal discount.
I have a job that's almost like you describe.

I'm a software support engineer. (A job some find undesirable, so it keeps the field open and provides a decent pay scale.) I don't get paid 'by the piece', but I do work remote and don't have to put up with much office-nonsense. I really like the job. Maybe you can find one like it.

About 'piece work', I think that'd be a hard game to play. There are lots of talented programmers all over the world, and some of them live in low cost areas to live. (Very low cost.) I'd hate to compete with those kind of folks for a paycheck, even when I win I wouldn't win much.

Good luck to you!
> Typescript, the only compile-to-JS language in the top 50

Clojure is right next to it on the list. It’s not only compile-to-JS but 100% of the people I know using it use it that way.
I’d like to think I’m one of the people who manage to do good despite the title. I see the job more as technical review (like code review, but at a higher level taking into account how systems interact, and existing solutions used in other places). Sometimes I’ll also try to drive the adoption of technology which has the potential to improve systems - in those cases I’ll typically be the one doing exploratory work to validate the solution is viable at all, and then working with other developers to introduce it.

Its taken a while to get to this point, with a fair bit of pushing back on more traditional project management stuff, but I’m ridiculously happy with what I get to do for a living now. That was definitely not true when I was in a pure technical management role, where 80% of my week was spent in meetings.

Parents are hard to cut off.

My parents are as paranoid as I am (grew up in a US enabled dictatorship) so it was easy to get them to use Signal. If they weren’t so cool, I’d use FB or WhatsApp

But my aunts and uncles and cousins (who, ironically also grew up in this dictatorship) laugh and use Facebook.

That’s cool. I don’t talk to them often. They know I love them. And they know I won’t use FB.
Hmm not if your users are trained to press Ctrl-Alt-Del again... The login screen would also allow them to order the OS to log off the current session too.
I would argue these are the exceptions that prove the rule. They all have demonstrable leaders that made this happen. Xerox is done, as is AT&T, as those leaders are long gone. Sony is another one that lost their leader and their magic.

I would argue Apple is on this route now as we are only now seeing the impact of losing Jobs.

I would like to see evidence that “deplatforming” doesn't actually reduce hate globally instead of simply moving it elsewhere, because I haven’t seen any, and until then this is simply an unfounded belief (i.e., “bullshit”)

While it's easy to be a critic and call someone else's view bullshit because you haven't seen evidence, it's not really adding anything to the discussion, it's just being needlessly inflammatory. You could accomplish the same thing by saying something as simple as "The evidence shows it worked for Reddit in isolation, but whether it works globally is unclear. Has anyone seen evidence that it does or doesn't? My gut says it doesn't."

Now when someone goes to analyze and respond they're not starting to argue with someone who dismissed something they may not be familiar with as bullshit right out the gate. It's better to keep an open mind to either possibility under a lack of evidence.

> It's a simple language and its syntax is straight forward

Wha? It has about 100 reserved words — more than C++, now, I think. Even its own designer said [1]:

“You’re unlikely to run into anybody that says that Swift is a simple language. Swift is a complicated language.”

If you consider Swift simple, what language do you consider complex? Of all the languages I've written, none has been as complex as Swift.

Most of the companies I’ve worked for have utterly no possible capacity for formally managing special projects. It will either be an argument over what business goals the project must serve, whose autonomy gets to drive the project, politics about who gets to work on what.

The only successful special projects I’ve ever seen are ones that are off the books initially, possibly even pissing off product managers or others because engineers essentially have to flippantly disregard the official prioritization of tasks according to non-engineers and just override it with what the engineer can easily see is actually more important from a genuine business/product perspective but can’t waste the time trying to jump through the hoops of political jockeying disingenuously asserted to be sincere evidence gathering to satisfy all the other competing interests and credit grabs.

While this is true, it's usually referring to algorithmically chosen adversarial inputs. On the other hand, it's a lot harder to trick both the browser's image recognition and the human operator's visual senses with the same UI.
But this is normal for some highly attractive areas. Looking at the U.S. as a whole, situation is pretty much normal - housing is very affordable.
But a stateful GUI is not a sin: the program as a whole has state, application code needs to process GUI inputs to update application-level state (e.g. currently set game options) while tracking mechanical details like whether a button is "half clicked" is suitable for automation at the GUI library level.

Regarding IDs, they can (and must) be provided by client code, as client code is responsible for managing widget identity (i.e. whether the button that might have a mouse up event this frame is "the same" that received a mouse down event some frames ago).
In C or C++, string names could usually be autogenerated with trivial macros relying on __LINE__ and __FILE__.
