>But they literally kill people. And they will kill many more if they gain more power. Do you think those dead people will thank you for your brave efforts?

Who are "they"? Who is literally killing people? Those are very serious accusations to just be thrown around within such a broad, imprecise, and vague message. Moreover, who are you to decide for the rest of us what kind of speech is deemed dangerous or otherwise? I don't think any collective's arbitrary criteria should automatically apply to limit free speech, if there should be a limit, that is.

These are immensely important issues that have to be decided through very careful deliberation, not just a vague sentiment or subjective impression held by a group of people, as it dictates the manner in which we communicate and express ourselves with one another, and that shouldn't be up for grabs.

See, I'd be more impressed by the "we're just defending free speech" argument that comes up so often if it was ever for anything other than racism, sexism and hate.
Everything Testers Need to Know About Defect Tracking Tools
Not yet (blog is planned, but you know... time), but I have bunch of presentations on it (basically DevOps on Windows on premise) that I consult to companies on request, with one of those services as a real life example (I prefer diving into real working stuff over hello worlds).

For example, this is the one about Chocolatey that I gave at Microsoft event few years back (other are similar, but all on Serbian ATM since I mostly do consulting locally and involve everything from Gitlab over InfluxDb over PowerShell to obscure languages such as Autohotkey):

Expanding your criteria to encompass all of history isn't really all that helpful. Today, in the actual situation we are experiencing as opposed to political movements that have been dead for decades, the far right are more violent than the far left by a large margin.
You're mostly right, in that a timing issue could be resolved through a temporary storage unit, though probably wouldn't have to put it underground.

Likewise, batteries/capacitors/whatever would probably be set up on the electricity. A plant design would seem to want to control the flow rates of both.

Overall, the parent comment's unlikely to be correct in its speculation that the reason for open-air capture is related to timing issues.

With safe harbour laws the concept of editorial control comes up as a legal test that courts use to determine intermediary liability. By going this route Mozilla is now declaring that not only are they taking responsibility of what extensions they publish, but also how those extensions in turn are used by users. One level deeper of indirections.

So any site which has an EULA that forbids adblockers can use this case as a example of Mozilla exercising editorial control of extension use by users. If Mozilla is willing to exercise editorial control over users behavior for the dissenter extension, then the same apply for any other extension.

Looking in my list of extensions I can identify several which could be potential abused. I would be very sad to see the kind of restrictions that would happen if Mozilla would be forced to be liable for it.

Well, consider that a trajectory deviation for nuclear strikes is less meaningful inside of a 30 mile radius (might be helpful to a neighboring county). Also, the EMP would likely harm the laser. Meanwhile, laser batteries are probably only going to be protecting ships and their current port. So, better hope it's fleet week.

The article mentions enticipated aircraft mounts. I wouldn't expect airborne lasers to scramble in time for most nuclear attacks. They'll only be used in the sense of dog fighting and suring offensive operations.

The way you asked the question implied that everyone working on the project must be kind of stupid. "simply" "how hard can it be" while showing a lack of expertise on the subject made you sound conceited.

The question itself was fine and got interesting answers. Phrased differently, I don't think anyone would have downvoted you.

I can't work out how uber can continue to operate post-IPO. Currently it operates by converting VC funding into discounted transport.

Post-IPO I don't understand how it can gain ongoing sources of cash it needs while operating at a loss (unless of course the IPO raises enough cash immediately to fund it until after it has autonomous cars).

> They are exposed to counterpoints constantly, and it is not changing them.

This is not correct. This very post's topic implies they aren't exposed to counterpoints. Banning them from every platform possible doesn't allow them to be exposed to counterpoints.

Allowing hateful people doesn't mean we are normalizing it.

Also the definition of "hate speech" is extremely vague now a days.

> You say they learn if from the environment around them. This is exactly right, and this is exactly why you ban racists from your open platforms.

So you are saying that not allowing these people on open platforms where they are exposed to counterpoints (let's say 5% bad + 95% good) so that they all jump to another platform (8chan for example) where they are exposed to an even higher saturation of bad (100% bad) is good? That's basically exposing them to an even worse environment now. That's exactly what's making this situation even worse. Every mass shooting etc was planned on those worse platforms (4chan, 8chan) etc.
Well, if you want any decent performance, you'll need to pass through a PCI device which is non-trivial even on modern Hosts and Windows Guests.
Don't you think that despite being uncomfortable with people that have opinions that you perceive as immoral, that banning them will only heighten their cause and become more radical?

It just seems evident to me that unpersoning them will force them in to a place that reinforces their own ideological biases which would make them more radical, and with being a social outcast, they'd have nothing to lose.

That implies that election is not about values or politics, but rather which candidate is more prepared and better at the abstract skill of "debating".

Assuming we're talking about having enough money to retire with a decent income, I would enroll in an online art history degree course from an institution like the Open University in the UK.

I'd live in Florence for a few months while learning about the history of Renaissance art and so on.

Maybe this is the end game. They don't have to have a profitable business. They just need to get over that IPO line, convincing enough people to pay enough for the stock, for the VC to exit richer than they came in and for the Uberites with stock who are allowed to cash out to walk away handsomely.

This is kindergarten-level financial analysis from a socialist magazine. All this to say that Uber is losing money right now - we already knew that. Then a bunch of other random stories of other companies that have lost money in the past, including, well, some of the biggest and most successful companies on earth.

The question is will revenue overtake costs as it grows more quickly - no serious analyst would insinuate Uber will be gross margin unprofitable over the long-term. It would be awfully difficult to do so given they collect a percentage of every sale.

Uber has opened offices all over and has high fixed costs. It’s waiting on the small variable revenue from each trip to catch up with those costs, and the question is “will it?” That’s all.
Follow-on offerings.
Exactly; to use the phrasing used in the presentation, it's about how difficult it is to decode the statements. I'm not a C guy; a regular ternary is fine, as long as it's simple enough. A nested ternary? That gives me all kinds of red flags because I have to lean in and frown and go over it a few times to decode it.
The argument boils down to what exactly is hate speech. Something which you find offensive could be totally okay to a lot of other people. Culture, language, satire/comedy/sarcasm etc all play a huge role in what's offensive to someone. I am an immigrant from another country and things which are said there is offensive here and vice versa.

Not that I necessarily disagree with you, but you're going to have to define your terms more narrowly if you want your argument to hold. Which countries, who's "we", are we talking state actors or individuals, how to Maoist rebel groups in Asia and South America feature into your calculus etc.

Yes. Go is intended for BIG codebases - millions of lines of code. You can't afford to have to squint and decypher one particular author's code style when you have to go through that amount of code.

It's much easier to go through a codebase if everyone uses the same code style and you get the least amount of surprises. This does however require you to give up your own ego, that is, you have to conform to the standard.
Yeah, I was really tempted to get it as a gift. Pity the EU version is much more expensive, for some reason.
Currently it operates by converting VC funding into discounted transport.

Does it? As I understood it the way it works is through a discount that takes the form of "$10 towards your first ride", so it's pretty obvious where the VC money is going. They don't do that marketing in every market any more, and allegedly they're already profitable in some places (presumably the places where they don't give money away).

A few years ago video tags were very limited on iOS - they would only play fullscreen and couldn't be autoplayed (which would have been useful for GIFs, even MPEG1 is more bandwidth effective than GIF).

None of those restrictions remain now, so this is more just an interesting proof of concept at this point.

Yes, but the jargon and language used is standardized; pilots don't get to put their own twist on e.g. formal communication with the tower when they come in to landing. You don't get to switch to idk, km/h when communicating your airspeed.

If you can surely debate hate away, it is extremely costing for your mental health.

My own experience is that, when doing it face to face it's more easy, you can really get through someone. People are less "protected" and have more emotional connection.

But on the Internet ? I stopped trying. Every time it's the same thing: People prefer to be 'trolls' and just throw insults and bullshit all day. Unless the person is actually willing to have a real discussion, it's almost impossible to "debate" anything. As soon as you are going to try to have a real argument, an horde will just "dunk" on you throwing colorful name all around.

It's sad but i stopped believing in the possibility of having any interesting argument on the internet if it is not amongst a small community or a very moderated one.

There are two factors that make me think Uber isn't sustainable. One is that they're relying on drivers being contractors, which won't last. The second issue is that Tesla is coming and nobody will be able to compete with not having to pay any driver.

MAD only works if the other side is concerned about the welfare of its people. I know that many would prefer to think otherwise but the USSR was just as concerned about their own people as the United States was. They don't have oceans on both sides as a buffer.

that out of the way, it is regimes that don't show a real concern for their people that is the danger. the only hold on them is the vulnerability of those making the decision. once they show disregard for their own welfare is when everyone should be worried.
Microsoft (like many companies before, and many companies in the future) change. The went from cool, to not cool, to cool again in the eyes of the developer hive-mind.

I don't think we can say for sure that Microsoft will forever act the way they are acting now, as in the end it's run by people and those people eventually become replaced with others.

Saying that a company has "proven" something and that means they will act a certain way forever seems unhealthy.

When was this? I remember reading that they understood that culture wasn't scaling, so they dialed down to an expectation that employees like to play some games, of some kind, at some level (including casual). But that used to be their cultural expectation when they were smaller (sorry I don't have a source).

Clearly that culture (everyone must play the product) doesn't scale when you need to hire into roles that have nothing to do with the product itself.

> PC owners will be increasingly less compelled to bother even trying a Linux installation when their OEM Windows install already contains it as a compatibility shim.

There is still a plenty of reasons to avoid Windows, from privacy concerns (telemetry anyone?) to cost (sure, OEM is cheap but there are laptops that can be purchased OS-free for less. Also, there's virtually no such thing as OEM Windows in custom PC builds).
So the obvious question is then, how do we change the debate format so that we can discuss hate speech away.

I don't think banning is a working debate format.
