Your intervention in the thread wasn't to argue that this girl shouldn't be deplatformed, it was to list apparently horrible instances of celebrities on the left threatening Republicans and getting away with it. I am surprised that your intended point was to say that those things all should be allowed, and so should this girl. It is deeply strange to me that you thought your original post would have conveyed this.

Were you personally convinced by the strength of the article you linked that there is an epidemic of threatened violence against Republicans?

I highlighted examples that I believed were being alleged to be threats. You did not clarify that you linked an article you thought was filled with nonsense examples but you wanted to talk about Kathy Griffith.

Kathy Griffith seems like a stupid idiot. She did get "deplatformed" after the Trump thing, which appeared in a magazine. Most of her work since then has been talking about how she can't get booked anymore. She lost a bunch of work. This is all fairly well documented. You must know this, since you were aware enough of the wave of leftist celebrity violence incitement to have the link to the article on hand. Why did you pivot to saying I should engage more thoroughly with her case but leave out the details?

But if we really want to unpack it, you've conceptually slipped from "threatening violence in a literal and direct way", which the 14 year old shithead definitely did, to "depicting violence" or "doing something everyone knows is a joke but that is arguably violent." Kathy Griffith's thing is a stupid tasteless stunt by a comedienne whose entire career is being stupid and tasteless. But I don't see even the slightest comparison between that and this.

You also call attention to the "smother with a pillow" Larry Wilmore line. The "joke", such as it is -- Wilmore's show was terrible and so I am not surprised the joke was terrible too -- is that some far-right figures believed in a conspiracy that Antonin Scalia was smothered with a pillow. Antonin Scalia was not smothered with a pillow. It is difficult to argue that a joke about conspiracy theorists should be construed to otherwise be a dead serious threat.

Should I take this to mean that you believe Antonin Scalia was smothered with a pillow? This might be off topic, but I think it's relevant as to your ability to adjudicate whether there is an epidemic of leftist incitement to violence against Republicans, which was your original argument, apparently in support of your position that no one should be banned for making direct and personalized death threats on social media.
> Exactly two years ago today, another, much different memo, went internally viral at Google. That one was written by the now infamous James Damore, an engineer who wrote a 10,000-word, unscientific memo attempting to argue that women are naturally less disposed to be good engineers compared to men. The purpose of that memo was to get Google to scale back its diversity efforts.

That's not what actually happened.
What? You couldn't be more wrong.

Tariffs essentially boil down to a tax on the American people, just like any other tax.

Americans are paying more for the same products, and that money is going to the government which is using it in part to pay big US farmers.
EU has its own issues such as Brexit, lack of fiscal union, Greece, Italy debt, unemployment, slow growth, no immigration policy, no common foreign policy etc. When you talk about EU you really talk about 27 member states not some kind of United States of Europe.

The EU it's not really in the mood of taking short term hits unless is threatened(i.e with tariffs).

Not to mention that it supports Trump stance on China as it suffers the same unfair treatment(i.e IP theft, closed markets, dumping etc). If US gets a good deal I'm pretty sure EU will ask and get a very similar one.

"python doesn't support multithreading"

wait, what about the GIL?!? did they fix that?
I really dislike this sort of journalism. Theranos was founded by a 19 year old too. That one didn't work out so well. Was it because the founder was so young? The board so oblivious? (a bit of both if you read the book)

What does it really matter how "old" the founder is, does the business have a workable business plan? Can it be profitable? Do people pay enough money for its goods and services to return a net income? Those are interesting questions. That it was started by a teenager is not, to my way of thinking, particularly relevant.

I'd much prefer that the article focus on these things which helps us understand the value that they bring to the market and what makes them unique.
I am genuinely open to understanding what reforms are possible that are compatible with running a business.

I don't like how she was treated, and I don't see how introducing a manager that leaves makes sense either.

My understanding is that we have an egalitarian ideal we want to reach - for career driven wage workers - but don't have a successful business structure that remains competitive here as it predates this need completely?
>Back in my day, this type of thing would land you in juvenile detention. You wouldn't be released until you passed a psychiatric evaluation, which was no simple task.

Back in my day this type of thing would end with a talk with a local policeman, and maybe a smacking from your parents.

Psychiatric evaluation, police involvement, the media covering, etc, for a BS death threat by a 14 year old is quite a new development (of course "back in my day" teenagers also didn't regularly take guns and mass shoot people).

>Perhaps we need to return to the days of removing very clearly troubled people from circulation until they aren't a danger to others.

Yeah, that attitude worked great for the US and its harshest penalties, highest in the world incarceration rate, and record high recidivism. No murder capital of the western world, no mass shooting capital of the western world, no dangerous loony capital of the western world, etc...

Not just Europe! Tokyo, for example, is a remarkably pedestrian and bicycle-friendly city, despite also supporting quite heavy traffic in some areas. And of course, the extensive train network completely eliminates the need for a car in daily life.

If you pick a random place on the map (like [1]), you'll see that the high-speed traffic is very well-separated from residential areas, with infrequent intersections. There is also little incentive to take a "shortcut" through residential areas since neighborhood roads are so narrow. The result is that neighborhood are safe and quiet enough that parents feel safe letting their small children walk along the road. I even see wildlife!

US decoupling itself from China would have an avalanche of effects, including huge inflation on most consumer goods, and outright product shortages. China is also a huge foreign debt holder, and if presumably no longer a buyer due to decoupling, will send US interest rates skyrocketing.
>So you end up with this "class warfare" type situation.

This is a weird framing because the very poorest segments of society in Europe also tend to live in urban areas and don't even own a car and rely on public transport, so it's more of a class sandwich.

The very car reliant demographic seems to be what in the United States is called the 'dream hoarder' class, which is to say the largely socio-economic isolated middle class that fled to the suburbs. The same is true for the yellow vests in France. The people participating where generally not poor, which was very obvious when one looked at the demographic makeup of the group, notably, immigrants and people of color were largely absent.
Most of the basis for a free society breaks down when people lose basic morals.

Whether you choose to believe in God or not, many of the framers of our Constitution and those who penned the Declaration of Independence believed in the Supreme Judge of the World, the Creator etc. and based their morals upon that belief.

When those morals become less than the norm for society, many problems arise.
Shutting down 8chan will not shut these people up. they will find somewhere else to talk to each other, as people do.

Not sure they said that... also “founding fathers” are not the be all end all of of what are “rights”. OP is talking about what is called the “social contract”.
The USD has risen against pretty much every major currency in the past several years. Its status as the world reserve currency keeps its value artificially high despite running the printing press.

Whether this is good or bad for the US economy is debatable (and unclear), but it's not really a recipe for currency manipulation at all. I have no idea what you're talking about.
We do use AI and ML to help making the labeling process more efficient, but you are correct we do have scaled human insight that ensures very high quality.

One difference from "Not Hotdog" is that our data is used to power the algorithms of other AI/ML companies like OpenAI, Waymo, Lyft, etc., so it's imperative that we have impeccable quality. That necessitates humans to ensure accuracy, particularly in safety-critical applications like self-driving cars.
This is why I'm a proponent of genetically modified organisms in agriculture. The world needs to be fed and needs to be fed properly, and it is pure privilege to deny use of tools in our toolbox that abet solutions to global hunger. I won't deny the issues around the corporatization of farmland, vendor/seed lock-in and IP issues, and the litany of other issues around its use - but damn is it a viable solution for vitamin deficiency and a way forward through changing environments.
> I'm always amazed Google management tolerates things like internal message boards aimed at letting employees create Memes on company time.

They're not the only large company that does this; I think companies allow this because they know that employees will end up making memes anyways and it's a lot better that they end up on an internal board than an ad-hoc external one. (Aside: I'm not sure some of the people making those "memes" understood how they're supposed to work. The puffin one is a misuse of the template…)
That is the perfect call for individualism there is. You try to push your ideas down someone else´s throat and they try to do the same. You´ll find no objection here. I am more than happy to live under such a framework. In fact, I think it would make for a much better world under the right conditions.

That said however, you are missing a lot of nuances imo if you think that this form of "every man for himself" is how the west currently operates.

Currencies do exist in a vacuum. Which is why currency manipulation is international and national fraud; your laborers and trading partners lose. It's also why we have a purchasing power parity.

Managing a currency through the control of interest rates, taxes, employment etc. are the legal ways of the game to manipulate your currency.

Centralized clandestine devaluation of ones currency while government sponsored companies buy real estate worth trillions all over the world, as well as commodities and rare resources, not to mention the jobs it's created and among local populations and the access to foreign citizens data, is an outright slap in the face to any sort of partnership.
Agreed. I don't object to company or founder exposés such as these, but I do find the article's focus on the founders' age to be misplaced and distasteful. I also think that these kinds of breathless adorations of the latest "wunderkind" to contribute to the widespread perception/reality of ageism within the industry.

I understand it makes for a more click-attracting title, but imagine if the title was "Silicon Valley's Latest Unicorn Is Run By an Asian" - it sounds offensive, at least to me. Preferably the articles would focus on something other than a protected class.

Note that age is not technically a protected class, only "advanced age", defined as 40+, but I personally think that making unbounded age a protected class would be beneficial for everyone. Refusing to hire someone because they're "too young" is equally as offensive as refusing because they're "too old".
The amount of regulator-enforced competition varies a lot between technology generations. The basic idea is that Telekom cannot deny renting out to resellers what they inherited from their government monopolist predecessor, but more recent infrastructure has no such strings attached (the details are slightly more complicated I think).

This was meant as an incentive for investment ("if you build new stuff it's all yours"), but it has cemented the usual premiums for higher bandwidth as a permanent fixture, instead of something that only hits early adopters before trickling down to entry levels. So now you have a situation where quite a few people would be able to upgrade to something like 50 mbps down, sticking to the 16 mbps contract that does the job as well (when you're not hooked to cloud services yet, something Germans might tend to be wary of anyways, given the data protection mindset). In a market where VDSL is widely rejected (because it would almost double the bill), who would invest in even faster infrastructure?

I admire his site, but for some reason, I found his content very hard to digest. I can read if someone links to any particular article, but browsing through the

I don't know if it's just the sheer amount of content that feels intimidating or anything else (like reading long paragraphs of sans-serif fonts on screen).
And if that was the real reason, you’d expect the US to be coordinating with other countries that have the same beef with China. Instead, the US is antagonising them as well.

Trump has been very clear the tariffs are mainly about boosting US manufacturing. It’s not going to work, but that’s what he keeps saying. If it really was about the issues you list, there are plenty of ways to address them in a much more coordinated and effective manner with like minded allies. Instead the US keeps their demands very vague and keeps changing the criteria, to avoid the chance of an actual agreement.

Contrast with the renegotiation of NAFTA. Clear, specific demands in areas they knew would be open to negotiation. In the end, fairly minor updates and a workable deal.

My dude. This is not the Sistine Chapel.
Very interesting article, my only real contention is on the point made in Mistake 4:

> You can see it was a gamble by considering if Light had been outside Kanto; since he would not see it live, he would not have reacted, and all L would learn is that his suspect was in that other 2/3 of the population, for a gain of only ~0.3 bits.

My understanding of L's plan (based on what he said in the broadcast) was that he intended to do several live broadcasts, one in each region, until he was caught. Lind L. Taylor was a death row criminal being offered a deal to survive, and would've gone along with doing several broadcasts. Additionally, even if they didn't do it live and simply recorded it there's no way that Light would've known it wasn't live and he would've acted in the same manner (and since Lind was in L's custody, L would've known if he died even if Light didn't).

At the time Death Note was written, mass internet communication wasn't as prevalent and so you wouldn't expect people to find out about events like the broadcast for at least a few hours (long enough to do broadcasts in each region). L probably hoped that Kira was in a less populated city since it would cut down on more bits of entropy (and I'd argue it would've been a better idea to start broadcasting to smaller cities first -- since it's more likely an event like this in a big city would be quickly broadcast to the rest of Japan).
Comments critical of Trump are getting downvoted and the users throttled. Not sure what is going on.
> Democracy has been broken since the rise of technology and mass media.

I'm sorry, when was everyone equally franchised? Between Jim Crow, Women's Sufferage, and Civil Rights you've got what? The mid 60s to mid 80s as the heyday of American Democracy? Having Nixon smack in the middle of that doesn't really help the arguement.

If we define democracy as universal suffrage and equal vote weight, democracy has been more of an aspiration and less of a reality since the beginning of time. If you don't define democracy that way, then we're talking past eachother.
I'm not an economist, but my impression is that if the Chinese currency is allowed to float, the major effect is that they would begin to import more goods from abroad and that their exports would be less competitive. But what would China import that they are not already importing?

Personally I would rather see the rules about local ownership of businesses open up so that foreign people can actually freely do business in China. Now that China is not a super poor country anymore, it seems fair. And this way they can keep their currency devalued as there is still a way for trading partners to use it to their advantage, while the majority of the advantage remains with China

As the reserve currency, the USD has some weight on it due to that position, can't just manipulate it like others can as easily except printing more [1].

Being the reserve currency, it was more fair when everyone was pegged to the dollar so at least manipulation was in check a bit. Both the unpegging and the free trade agreements put more pressure on the US for being a reserve currency.

Ultimately, the USD is too high and it is the root of lots of the problems with jobs, exports/imports and the trade imbalance, national debt as the reserve currency is a safer investment due to it not being as easy to manipulate due to the sheer size of the supply. Now that we are a debtor nation rather than a creditor nation, the problems are more evident [1].

That's a lot of tangents and my time is limited right now, so let's focus on Kathy Griffin.

Yes, I heard she was deplatformed by some media outlets, but not by YouTube.

https://www.youtube.com/user/officialkathygriffin

So if YouTube now has a policy of deplatforming violence, I'd like to see it enforced fairly.

That doesn't mean I necessarily approve of that policy, but that's not my decision and I can see that it's a reasonable policy, if enforced fairly.

That will have to be all for now, I have other things to do, but if you'd like to continue I'll try to respond later.
Thanks. TIL this is a real thing. Let the bilateral negotiations begin!
Yes, but my guess would be much more educated if they would tell me the question in sufficient detail.
Many people are talking about freedom of speech, and yes it is something very important to support when you're talking about what governments cannot do.

But CloudFlare and whatever hosting company this is are not governments. Freedom of speech doesn't mean others are required to be your megaphone when you're saying objectionable things. The government should be very restricted in its ability to censor you, but your publisher? not so much.

If you really don't like it, make your own publisher (internet hardware company, CDN, etc.)

I wish I remembered the person's name, but there is a guy in London who did a start up and made a fair amount of money. Since then he spends his time talking with different people to get ideas. He'll buy you a hamburger (at one of the upscale hamburger places no less) to talk to you for an hour. I never ended up chatting with him (I got busy), but a friend of mine did and said that it was quite a good experience.

I thought this article might have been about that guy. It's a bit different, though. The person I'm thinking about is independently wealthy and thinks this is a productive use of his time. I think he's gathering data for a new startup, but unfortunately I didn't get a chance to talk to him about it.
The question is "how far" it is. It says in the article: Distance is tricky in space. So to put this in a perspective of time that we can all understand, and not to say something like, it will take 31 years travelling at the speed of light, which is not really true, and humans can’t do yet. Is necessary to measure this in a different fashion...
