I was referring specifically to Twitter -- it's been a while since I checked, but doesn't Twitter require an email address for every account on signup?

If you're offering a service that doesn't rely on email, I do see a gray area there for using SMS as a fallback; but most services I use don't fall into that category. I've even seen banks go down this direction -- banks that both require me to have an email to make an online account, and that are only operating within the US.

Lyft in particular weirds me out, because (third-party services excluded) Lyft only works via an app and a web interface. And yet there's no option to sign into the Lyft website using anything other than SMS. I'm required to use an insecure SMS login even though I literally can't request a Lyft ride without an Internet connected device.

I understand having options for developing nations, I don't understand using those options as a default, or even going so far as requiring users to leave them open.

Given the brutal efficiency of the Nazis in their conquest, occupation and genocide, I have little problem justifying means of inflicting damage on any significant source of support until the threat is completely neutralized. They were desperate times, and destroying the enemy's will to continue fighting is an integral part of warfare.
You don't really need to test basic skills over and over again.. you could just ask them what part of the code they wrote, if they don't have any open source code then ask them to send you a take-home code assignment they completed for another job interview, or have them complete one you make for them.

You're right that there are plenty of developers that have no experience with GitHub, but I'm sure there are far more who would struggle with simple theoretical questions and programming quizzes during the interview, because it's difficult to think clearly when you're feeling a lot of pressure.
>Any communication channel, by virtue of human nature, is going to enable assaulters and murderers. If you look at assault and murder, most people are victimized by their own kind.

We're not talking about a purely neutral and general "communication channel" on which violent discussion or reaction occurs, when it does, merely by happenstance wholly unconnected to the nature of the community. We're talking about a channel for which racist and violent expression is an explicit part of its culture, identity and raison dêtre. Not a knitting forum in which one knitter just happened to have assaulted another knitter IRL, but a channel for racists in which one racist decided to shoot up a synagogue, in which said shooter linked his motivations and inspiration to that channel.

Also, given that we're discussing a specific instance of racially motivated violence, I don't know what relevance mentioning the existence or relative prevalence of other forms of violence actually has to the topic at hand.

Apple doesn’t pop up this permission dialog for their proprietary iBeacon system though, since thats also handled at the system level. With that taken into consideration, this feels less like a privacy feature and more like an anticompetitive move.

Hunter S. Thompson wrote of "writing Faulkner" and other authors he admired. He'd sit at his typewriter and copy entire passages from books. He felt it helped him understand the writer's thinking, their rhythm and creation process.

If you want to be a great improvisational musician, you still (especially) need to be studied in music theory and common works, to know how good music is constructed, and what people expect to hear.

If ever there is a great musician or other type of creator who says they are not familiar with and have not studied the works of their contemporaries and lineage, they are lying.

I personally find this view strange. I think there's tremendous risk in breeding a community that promotes this behavior to a degree that it's difficult to discern whether or not someone is _actually_ talking about shooting dozens of jews at a synagogue instead of _joking_ about it.

At some point in time I don't think it's worth picking apart that nuance anymore. Like, it's great they're not committing acts of terrorism daily and are instead only doing so every few weeks, I guess, but there's really no reason to defend the people who are promoting this behavior in order to protect the use of grade-school irony.

"Rogan is not affiliated with any political party but was described as having mostly libertarian views.[67] He has described himself as being "pretty liberal" and supports gay marriage, gay rights, women's rights, recreational drug use, universal healthcare, and universal basic income, while also supporting the Second Amendment[68"

The folks who regularly do GPL compliance work have a very reasonable set of principles they apply when doing that work. Legal action is a last resort and GPL violators are given every opportunity to comply. The only legal actions that have been taken have been from years of stonewalling or even blatant refusal to comply and the consequences of those legal actions have been reasonable.

>But the nature of 8chan's user base isn't being dictated by its design. It's still an overwhelmingly right-wing site that gained its prominence from the Gamergate controversy. As a frequent user of reddit I would openly declare that overall it's an observably left-wing site.

It's somewhat true, but still, reddit hosts right-wing communities like /r/the_donald, while 8chan hosts, for example, /leftypol/.

Both sites consist of multiple, separate communities.
What is it about world's biggest planes that fly only once?

I think the only full-size ornithopter only flew once, too.

Maybe there is some expectation that the Stratolaunch will fly again, someday, but it's hard to imagine for what.
This is called the Roman Room technique:

https://m.wikihow.com/Remember-Lists-of-Words-With-the-Roman...
Cutting power to air traffic control makes planes vulnerable to collisions which each other.

Flying drone causes incoming planes to divert to other airports and prevents take-offs - there is no crash risk.

> They can hold up signs outside the airport, but they have no right to put aircraft at risk. That is extremism.

You suggest they should protest where everybody can ignore them and in order to prove your point pull up false equivalences. That is NIMBY'ism.

Thanks for calling this out. As a fellow internet user I share your believe that we're entitled to high quality FREE journalism. If content providers wanted to get paid they should do something else. We don't care that they're trying to run a business, we're internet users and we DEMAND they give us everything for free.
I don't believe the AGPL requires distribution of the sources unless you are exposing the software in some way. So, a company is free to run modified AGPL software on their intranet without having to offer the sources to anyone but their employees.

I remember when The_Donald first came around in the very early days in the run up to the '16 election. I actually subscribed and thought it was hilarious, because I think Donald Trump is pathetic (and I thought he was insignificant at that point).

I suspect that most subscribers were like me, at first. At some point, the tone of the sub reddit took a dramatic shift. It's hard to explain -- it became so serious and so vitriolic. It went from being a joke, to being "wait... we are joking, right?" to being "oh my god these people are serious," within the span of about 1 month.

I would say, for me, that's when the sort of surrealism of our current politics started.

I think this type of joking around is dangerous for that reason, and it really soured me on the concept of 4ch style "ironic" joking. You're flicking the lighter over and over again, and at some point you might find yourself near gasoline.
The AGPL wouldn't prevent FAANG making billions, just ensure they respect end-user freedom while doing so.
I was actually quite fascinated by the Kek phenomenon for religious reasons - I'm very into alternative/marginal religious movements, so worship of an egyptian chaos god was pretty fascinating to me. I also rather liked the Kekistan flag when it first started, and had no idea it was a palette swapped version of a nazi flag until much later.

Do you think I'm a hate filled racist?
Of course I do, I was just wondering what you used.
Enforcing 80 chars on everyone for those reasons doesn't feel justifying.

It will definitely make people use weird variable names instead of meaningful ones.

This was a wonderful story of warmth bestowed to her by a generous but not wealthy family as a young child, and of her own grit and determination against resistance and challenge, and of giving back to others.

>They often are. Lots of threads are about fictitious things. Don't make me go there to find examples.

Not a fictitious setting, which makes the comparison to a game forum inapt. It would be reasonable to assume that someone discussing theft on a GTA forum is not discussing theft in the real world. It would not necessarily be as reasonable to assume that someone posting anti-semitic or racewar content on /pol/ isn't referring to the real world, or to assume insincerity as a default.

It certainly wouldn't be reasonable, if you were that person, to assume everyone else was as insincere as you were, or, if you were a racist, that you weren't talking to a comrade in arms.

"...in the 1960s, women couldn’t legally drive a bus or even open a bank account without their husband’s permission."

one pretty obvious fact would be the adoption of "chan-slang" by people who have turned entirely serious in their advocacy of those extremist views, with they themselves openly advocating that those were the channels on which they were radicalised. A similar dynamic is playing out on youtube, as a recent ex-member of this subculture attests:

My opinion of Mensa was formed by someone who told me about how, when she was a hiring manager, she once had an applicant who made a point of belonging to Mensa and didn't seem to have anything else she was proud of or had accomplished.

That doesn't mean I am necessarily on board with the fashionable view that IQ is meaningless, but I think to the extent there are people whose IQ is disconnected from their abilities/achievements, it's going to be the ones who are preoccupied with it. So I would think belonging to a high-IQ society would send the wrong message.

You can keep telling yourself that you have a "choice", but in the end we all are just humans, with quite predictable behavior. Bias selection of content is since forever one of the more effective ways of shaping opinion. Politics is fighting hard on that front for a reason. For the first time ever are some very few algorithms selecting content for millions of people, with apparently little human oversight. Yes, this should worry us. Simply assuming the results of those will benefit mankind, especially in the long term, would be foolish. It's not quite exactly like the usual ai safety paperclip scenario, but by now it should be very obvious that optimizing watch-time, even with current "ai", comes with significant unintended side effects / drawbacks.

I kinda thought that myself.
The IRA chose not to use mortars that could hurt anyone, so let's not say they couldn't, they planned not destroy anything it was a statement not an attack.

But given we know no existent drones at Gatwick could close a airport and create hysteria, real ones might be able to.

But ironically it will be much harder. Real drones can be found and neutralised very quickly.

Hysterical drones are a contagious meme and are hard to contain.
They appear to be talking about the ones which they saw flying that flag where they lived. As in, some specific persons.

I didn’t interpret it as a claim that all persons who have liked that flag are “hate filled racists”.

Tempo is also one of the best expressive devices for performance. The mind massaging works in reverse! Lots of great choruses bump the bpm significantly, and the prevalence of recording and performing to click tracks has made it rare to have the kind of fluidity that you can get without them. You want to be able to manipulate your internal metronome expressively. I'm not a drummer, but definitely something to work on for every musician.
Maybe "ThinkGeek.com is shutting down" is a more accurate title.

Some tidbits: your comment is like saying "there surely must be less painful ways for your body to tell you to be more careful with a hammer"

In a trivial sense, it's true. But real pain and annoyance is exactly what it takes for people to prioritize dealing with a problem. These sorts of things are a healthy immune-system flare-up showing that we're not totally doomed.

The way to avoid such annoyance is to not have let the problem get as bad as it is in the first place.
This is largely my problem with climate activism. It seems largely based on what's fashionable. For example, ban straws in SF even though all of the ones in the ocean come from another continent[1]. Also stop offering glasses of water because there's a drought (strangely enough the drought ended but of course the laws stick around)[2].

Now a new deal which, even if 100% effective, would only reduce global CO2 emissions by... 15%?!?[3]. To make matters worse, we're 12 years away from point of no return, but we're stubbornly refusing to build a new nuclear power plant even though things are so dire?

He has some great points.

For 5 or so years I've been the guy who immediately started a SPA and I've turned 180 degrees.

I like the first option. What I do is don't worry about forgetting. I let myself be as angry, frustrated, sad, whatevs. The biggest help is decoupling feeling from action. Just because I am angry, that doesn't mean it'd be a good idea to aim my anger at someone else. Then I just move on. Getting the emotional stuff out of the early frees me up to remember something without getting all emotional about it. Eventually I just have too many other experiences to process before I get to the thing I'd prefer to forget.
