I respectfully and vehemently disagree. Hate speech has been proven to be able to convince people by virtue of appealing to their emotions rather than their intellect. It does not make sense to have a society based around human rights, with a point of view where stealing, murdering or otherwise deceiving people is wrong, while at the same time allowing speech which can subvert that same democracy. It's simply not smart. Just like your body has antibodies to prevent outside threats from outright destroying you from the inside (or outside), democracy too requires its defenses in order for it to work. The advent of fake news and social media manipulation should be enough to realize this: the US has a president that questions that validity of its own institutions right now, so does Brazil. Two democracies which have proven deceiving or hateful speech can mean trouble even for citizens who do not have anything to do with such rhetoric. Simply no, full-on free speech does not work and never will. The (anecdotal) fact Europe has some restraints on free speech while sporting arguably more freedoms, as in, freedom to live your life with a lot less chance of some random person killing you because they hide behind some crazy above-anything notion of freedom, should be enough to illustrate what I mean. Speech needs restraint or we need to stop pretending we care about human rights, simple as that.

Oh, of course - but the point is that you can't always tell ahead of time, and giving the people in power the ability to determine such just ensures that the people in power will never change.
I'm not saying it's best practice. I'm just describing some things I've seen.

You think the platform from which hate is banned is a wide enough context to judge success?

I guess if you ban hate speech on reddit you will be successful on reddit. Do we think people who are banned take up religion and become good samaritans?

Nobody is arguing that. The companies have a right to do what they want. We’re saying it will solve nothing.

The PR benefits you're claiming only exist because it placates the very same people that make such an outrage and call for corporate action in the first place.
Exactly. Its very hard to claim that one is just putting stuff out on "the marketplace of ideas", when in reality, losing ground to an ideology that places people who have non-majority skin color, sexuality or religious views (or lack thereof) below the majority is simply dangerous to any minority, and should not be allowed to fester. This is not just about ideas, its about refusing others the full rights of personhood. And that should not stand in any ethical society.

Isn't that the key exception of not tolerating intolerance?

That is, the baker's belief is not being tolerated because it is intolerant.
No, you're not dumb for holding some cash/CDs/other liquid equivalents. But make sure you're getting at least 2% interest at Ally/Marcus/one of the other online banks. That said, I wouldn't go 100% cash, even if you think it's going to crash in the next year - the Fed can probably keep the music going a lot longer than you think it can. I'd set up an asset allocation and stick to it. Here's a rather conservative one, if you're worried: https://portfoliocharts.com/portfolio/golden-butterfly/

Or this one, based on Bridgewater's All Weather portfolio:
https://portfoliocharts.com/portfolio/all-seasons-portfolio/

I'd try to understand them before you choose one, though - your asset allocation is one of the most impactful investing decisions you'll ever make. Gold is very divisive, for example, so if you want to go with one of these that includes it, I'd understand why. (It's unproductive, but it's generally anti-correlated with a lot of other assets, which is increasingly rare, and can be very helpful when rebalancing).

No, they shouldn't simply be fined and required to restore the land.

One thing the author seemingly didn't address - the overlap in entropy between the different mistakes. For example, Mistake 2 in timing leaked 6 bits, but those same 6 bits got leaked as a part of Mistake 4 in using confidential police information. Mistake 4 on its own is possibly the worst, but if you consider what L already knows, it's only 5 incremental bits lost.

Despite that, loved the article.

> This time around...there's actually NOT a lot of exuberance.

I'd argue that you're scoping exuberance only to consumers. If you define exuberance a bit more broadly, there's lots of irrational behavior in corporate debt right now. This could be a result of super low interest rates and unchanged expectations from fund managers, but it's less obvious than homeowners buying a third and fourth house because they can. Corporate debt might not seem to be able to topple an entire economy, but we don't really know how widespread those ripples could go. If corporate debt dries up, businesses stop expanding and jobs could be at risk.
I don't think there is any respect in this reply.

> They're so nonviolent in comparison that the alt right has to create false information about their tactics (for example the "fast drying concrete in the milkshakes" lie that was completely false).

Literally it was a police officer who saw and reported "what looked like" quick drying concrete.

> lie that was completely false

There were people associated with antifa publicizing this.

> I sincerely doubt he would have made a both sides argument here with a weak resistance movement that hasn't even killed a single person yet.

There is no "both side" there is violent extremists, whether they agree or not between themselves is irrelevant.

> hasn't even killed a single person yet.

Is this seriously the threshold for political violence and abandoning political rationality? (And anyway after Tacoma it is not for a lack of trying).

Right now what I see is one side being allowed with mainstream opinion of defending political violence. Antifa is performing political violence. Throwing a milkshake is not self-defense, it is political violence. Alt-right extremism is also political violence. I only see despicable people in both groups. I see no reasons why one side faults should excuse the other.
I believe you can oppose large corporations without helping terrorism. You can have an opposition without hate speech and bullying.

I’m doing my own version of this through my mentoring program for managers. I’m at 80 since February, and it’s been a real joy (best part of my day). I’ve had a chance to talk to managers from over a dozen countries, some of whom call me at 2AM their time (dedication) and share with me their stories of managing people all around the world.

Sometimes the sessions are energizing. Sometimes they’re sad. Sometimes they’re deeply thought provoking... However, they are always worth the hour I put into them.

My calendar is booked up this month, but September is still mostly clear :) Hope some of you sign up for a session.

> Can you point to exact language in agreements that granted them absolute rights to any IP?

Those agreements between private entities are almost certainly not public. However, I found a press release by Siemens AG [1] that says "Part of the contractual terms and conditions involves support and technology transfer in connection with production of the trains." In another press release [2], a Siemens VP is quite chipper about this: "Siemens is even more confident to support the development and modernization of Chinese railways and transfer highly advanced and proven technology of international standard to China"

I don't think you can speak of "wholesale theft" in this case of a voluntary deal.

Because it doesn't have a 100% success rate doesn't mean it shouldn't be considered, otherwise we could use the same logic to dismiss basically any rule, law or regulation ever made.

Echo chambers are never a good thing, echo chambers built around hateful extremist ideologies are a lot worse. By forcing these people to get out of them some good can be achieved. Of course some of them will manage to regroup elsewhere but statistically a significant proportion will return to a more healthy lifestyle.
It seems to me that Google also attracts more far-left employees than any other big company.

I find it extremely ironic that those employees accept to be employed by the biggest censorship machine ever made, being paid close to the highest salaries in tech and then complain and plan walkouts in order to virtue signal and feel good about themselves.

This is a terribly laid out argument. It's not kill the Germans/Japanese/Vietnamese. Hell in Vietnam we had Vietnamese allies. In Okinawa we routinely tried to stop civilians from committing suicide. There's a massive, massive difference between calling for erasing an entire people simply for existing and fighting a declared military force. No one in the US is going over to wipe out all Arabs, they are going to protect civilians and our own people under a strict set of rules of engagement meant to minimize civilian and not combatant casualties. These people are advocating violence against a people who don't even know they exist or have no defined I'll will against them. You're also conflating government protections for free speech and requirements to support said speech by civilians. No one has to provide your microphone to tell through. The mail will still deliver their racist pamphlets, they can still shout their horrors in public spaces. They don't have a right to have their hate hosted online.
The police and various other government agencies working to keep citizens safe, and are blessed with the means, motivation and authority to do so.
So, the gay couple coming to the baker that doesn't want to make a cake for a gay wedding are the intolerant ones because they are the first intolerant action in the chain? Because you know that will be how it will be spun.
Then you have a discussion about whether that is right or wrong, instead of having a discussion about how recursively meta you can go with "intolerance of intolerance of intolerance of intolerance of intolerance of ...".

Call it the "no recursion" rule.

Case in point:

The baker who refuses to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple is intolerant of gays. That is unjustified and wrong.

The gay couple who sues the baker who refuses to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple is intolerant of intolerance. That is justified and right.

The baker is unjustified and wrong to complain about the gay couple's intolerance of his intolerance, because he was unjustifiably intolerant himself, first.
There are many times when the political, religious, or other leanings of people committing these crimes have been misrepresented by 'media' organizations and politicians and others pushing an agenda, and trying to tie the despicable acts to their opponents, etc., or to make political points.

I've seen far left crazies characterized as far right. I've seen atheists characterized as being christian. I've seen mentally ill people characterized as following some ideology.

In this sort of environment, cutting off access to raw sources just makes these kinds of mischaracterizations even easier to do.

Cutting off people's ability to communicate does not have any benefit. All it does is signal that those cutting off the communication do not have a better idea, or do not know how to sell their idea. It strengthens the hand of those being censored by giving them a real grievance, and makes it more likely that they will find other ways to express their views, which will likely be more violent.
The CEO of 8chan's hosting provider is literally a Monster.
You had a similar spectrum auction with 5G recently and that got very expensive as well. That seems to be a problem in a lot of Europe and something the hardware providers like Ericsson complains about as that hinders the service providers ability to buy things from them because they spend so much money on the auction.
I don't agree, but if you're right and it's "an answer to every single tricky political problem" the nation should discuss it immediately.
Yeah. We both agree. I thought you were arguing with me about something, but I guess not.

If we think of CF/Voxility as of a "neutral infrastructure", CF and Voxility shouldn't be "forced to host", but also shouldn't proactively shut down sites, unless there's an obvious violation of ToS. There's a process of forcing companies to do something, and it involves a judge and a jury.

I find it ironic to see cheering of these actions by The Verge, who is in the tank for "net neutrality". I don't like what site in question was hosting, but there're other ways of dealing with them.
I interviewed with them twice (shame on me after the first debacle).

The first time I interviewed with a DB team - my entire resume up until that point was heavy UI development. The problem is I didn't know what team it was with to begin with, I would've declined since it really didn't cover my skills nor interest.

The second time was with a search team, and by then I was more into middle-tier development. Interview went well I thought, no red flags. They asked me to do a coding assignment, I said ok. Here's where things go to shit. The interviewer told me he'd send me his email so I could send him the code. I did the assignment but never heard from him about where to send it. Contacted the recruiter, they said to send it to them and they'd forward it on. I got the hint, the interviewer literally did it to waste my time. What an ass.

Anyways, I learned my lesson. First, fuck Amazon, their recruiting emails go straight to the trash. Second, no coding assignments ever. I'll do stuff on site if you want but I've never gotten a good result out of coding assignments, and now I'm too experienced to see anything that would be appropriate.

Well, physical locks are not necessary harder to pick lock than electronic locks. Buy your self a pick lock set, practice a bit and be amazed how many locks you can pick.

The overall experience of using the card, which includes everything from the way the card itself looks and feels to the UX of the iphone app, and customer service. A lot of what differentiates apple are intangibles that aren't captured by raw specs. It's like trying to rate a glass of wine based on it's chemical composition.

But sure, if the overall experience isn't improved over those other cards, the numbers will matter.

Speed helps you deliver more.

Delivering something after it is needed is useless. Chronically delivering things the day after requirements change due to the world turning, is uselees.

Musicians and other technical performers practice both slow&carefully and quickly, so that over time they can be more correct and more quick (as quick as the task can appreciate)

> That doesn’t mean be sloppy. But it does mean, push yourself to go faster than you think is healthy. That’s because the task will come to cost less in your mind; it’ll have a lower activation energy. So you’ll do it more. And as you do it more (as long as you’re doing it deliberately), you’ll get better. Eventually you’ll be both fast and good.
I obviously didn't mean that the Romans had no way to assert agreement with something. I said they didn't have a word that means 'yes'.
Most land is owned by someone or something, getting access to legally farm it is not cheap and the startup costs are high relative to what the groups we're talking about would have access to.

> how can we have a just society if women legitimately fear for their safety when they go to certain places?

This is a really hard question, partly because those women are generally wrong - men are much more likely to be mugged/assaulted/killed than women in every US location I've seen statistics for.

> We’re not obliged to suffer white nationalists carrying tiki torches down the national mall chanting “Blood and thunder” and making the world unambiguously worse because we need to know their position exists.

Should we also not be obliged to suffer black supremacists doing the same? Or, more recently, gay rights advocates? How is that not exactly analogous to pride parades?

Yes, we now agree with (and approve of) some values and not others. But locking those values in place 20 years ago would have been clearly wrong (no gay marriage, etc), so why do we assume that doing the same today would have been better? How can we differentiate between 'acceptable' and 'unacceptable' while still allowing the next gay rights movement to take place?

(1) Generally this is not good ecological thinking. Disrupting a robust biome like grassland or rainforest is much more difficult than disrupting a fragile one like desert or tundra, and robust biomes recover much faster if you do manage to disrupt them. I think it happens to be correct in this case because the panels will tend to strengthen the biome by providing shade rather than disrupt it.

If you go around disrupting desert biomes on a large scale, you cause desertification, converting the adjacent savanna and forest biomes into semi-arid desert. So even if you don't value desert for itself, that is foolish planning, unless your aim is to harm wildlife and the humans alike.

(2) We aren't at risk of running out of children, either, but that doesn't excuse neglecting or sacrificing them.
This problem is inherently American - it's not that other countries have access to some secret tech that's keeping them gun-violence-free. Saying "let's not make this political" about an entirely political issue is laughable. So is "let's fix gun violence with ML".

To actually answer the question with tech solutions:

- accurate fact-based media with no spin

- accessible education

- opportunities for people to be exposed to cultures, lifestyles and mentalities different from their own

Educated, informed and open-minded people are less likely to shoot up a school, or to buy into other people's "right" to do so.
