We think our temperature perception is strictly temperature, while a large component of our temperature perception is not temperature but change of temperature. (We have both really...)

Similarily our experience of sadness and happiness tends to be a comparative assessment (compared to 5 seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks ... ago).

So if you are a platform that generates income from advertisement, and if advertisements must be felt as positive, you optimize for negative background (content) videos, such that the advertisements are relatively positive as a result. Now is that a reflection of the consuming individual's character flaws? I think not
I frequently walked home from work in Oakland at 1am when I worked a night shift. I always wore headphones too and people would tell me I was being stupid. After about a year and a half of this I was coming up a hill to a four way intersection when someone popped out from behind a fence just before I passed it, grabbed my shirt and stuck a gun in my stomach.

He ended up being not the worst and let me keep my keys and license when I asked.

It only takes once, and the consequences for her would probably have been much worse.
Honestly, I can understand stripping characters at a large organization like a bank. It shouldn't ever be necessary, but it protects against that brainfart/junior dev/marketing analytics software, with little cost.
Make it more focused: "What circumstances do you think justify censorship?"
To think that someone would quote a Blind survey is actually hilarious. I've never run across a more toxic online environment than Blind, it's just troll vs troll on there and anyone that is there for honest discussion is turned off by the toxicity pretty quickly.
Let's hope they cancel that too.

I lost my phone one day and a stranger returned it by guessing my 1111 pin. People are generally good. He threatened me with a $20 fee but I agreed to pay and he refused it.
Agreed - but the milieu is that the child is bathed in ignorance of even basic computer concepts, both at school and at home.

They are also bathed in advertising, which drowns then in guilt at not being able to afford a multi-thousand dollar Windows or Macintosh rig, when a $40 Arm64 rig hooked up to a discarded flat screen TV and keyboard/mouse would be a superior learning option for their child.
Exactly, and because the Blizzard (and Riot) employees are far more exposed to this nuance because it is actually their colleagues making this argument of course their poll is going to reflect that.
Generally slower than underground ones, because of issues like noise.
As a math student considering a teaching career, I recently took a course on math education taught by a retired high school math teacher. One of the things she placed a heavy emphasis on was our questioning techniques and classroom management strategies.

Every single one of the non-violent communication strategies you listed from the article were specifically singled out as things we should never say when asking questions to students. It was actually difficult to get out of the habit, since most of us in the class were used to couching our phrases that way.

By the end of the term, we had all gotten much better at speaking in a direct and pointed fashion, and our teaching abilities showed considerable improvement.
Let’s hope they’re forced to cancel it and eat the financial cost of doing so.

Organizing public protests on public property near the venue is likely sufficient to encourage this outcome.
I'm sorry for your truly traumatizing experience, but you should know that not all public schools are like yours was.

There are a lot of public schools where students have great experiences on balance, but they tend to be in communities with resources, and importantly, involved parents, often via a PTA that is actively involved in keeping the school a safe place for children, usually with active anti-bullying programs and interventions.

Any school is ultimately an extension of the community it serves, and the problems and virtues of that community will manifest themselves in the school.
For example, many wealthy private schools have severe problems with students who have access to high cost dangerous drugs. I personally know many people who have seen that phenomenon up close. Bullying can take place in these schools too, but be covered up by the fact that parents are paying very high tuition fees.
Tell that to the union organizers who were killed because of those reports. So no, the line isn't that clear.

It's worth remembering that at that point in time, the anti-union faction was strong and brutally violent.

Good, then voting with one's valet should be a good strategy to bring them back to their senses, unless they are 100% into some Chinese-friendly business ideology. Blizzard is off my list, I might re-evaulate in 1 year.
Insofar as radio frequencies, internet domains, cable infrastructure and the like are effectively government induced oligolpolies, they are protected media as well.

In general though, yes, you have no right to have a particular editorial published in the new york times on your behalf. What the press deigns to publish is protected. You're also free to start your own paper, or blog, or whatever.
Pretty much all JITs have tools for standalone binaries.

> no real way they will win

They could win everywhere but China, by explicitly choosing to withdraw their products from China.
I think the reason it seems to work more than it actually does is because it's worst-case reaction is covert rather than overt. Someone who patronizes me or tells me sweet sounding bullshit will probably get me to hate them in silence rather than fire back immediately, since I couldn't easily prove their intent. It doesn't mean it's any better of a situation, and may result in delayed retaliation rather than just getting everything out in the open.
Who really cares? If China's totalitarian soft power is being displayed at conferences, they can all burn so far as I'm concerned.
GitHub now but Pivotal Tracker was a bit more featureful than Trello. Had no problems with it though a visual board would be nice.

Totally. Localization is a key part of game development, and includes more than just translation of the written language.
Though if you just follow the reasons behind the four points in the article and implement them your way, it would be fine too, no?

It's like with lots of these communication systems. (P.E.T. is similar, but more oriented at communicatuion with children) The authors have some specific examples of situations, and how they'd communicate, but it's all driven by some core principles and goals, and as long as you're also driven by and mind those all the time, you'll be fine using your own language, or the language of your peer.
I've found quite a few things over the years. Phones. Car keys. Cards. Wallets. I've run after people who left purses, bags, chargers, and even a guy who straight-up forgot his laptop on a table. The vast majority of the time, these things happen in some establishment with a lost-and-found I can turn items over to.

I have, though, found a half dozen credit/debit cards in the past two years outside of any good place to leave them (parking lots/garages, streets, sidewalks...). I guess I'm a good-samaritan with a healthy dose of paranoia/skepticism/cynicism. When there's no obvious place that I think the owner will know to look, I tell someone I know that I found it, and promptly cut the card up into fine pieces, mix them, split the pieces into a few groups, and dispose of them in a 4+ trashcans in different locations (this is probably excessive, but my goal is to dispose of the card with as much caution as I would get rid of my own card if I knew it could still be charged to.)

I have weighed trying to return them, but I ended up triangulating against the chances I'll: waste time tracking down someone who has already canceled the card anyways, send the card to the wrong person, completely creep someone out by tracking them down, or get caught with a card that has been reported stolen and have a hard time proving I didn't steal it.

Karl Popper was talking about intolerance as in a group who resort to violent actions against another group (e.g. killing people for making cartoons). Merely expressing an opinion is never intolerance. Karl Popper, a lifelong supporter of free speech, must be turning over in his grave to know that his opinions are now being used to stifle speech.

Also who gets to define who is intolerant? Chinese government will surely say that the Hong Kong protesters are intolerant. Does it make it okay to censor them?
You could all wear "Winnie the Pooh China" shirts. If you get kicked out for those, that will really be the shit hitting the fan for them. That's not even protest. That's simple freedom of expression.
and at that moment the volcano erupted..
I'm on my company's Blind, and it is vastly different than the company as a whole. It's full of alt-righters, misogynists, xenophobes, transphobes, and other minority viewpoints (within the tech world) that are simply not said out loud at work (or with your name attached online). It drives most reasonable people away to the point that if you tried to use Blind to get an idea of the average viewpoint of employees of the company, you'd be very very off.

I signalled and looked over my shoulder before changing lanes today, only to see an unexpected car right behind me when I looked back into my rear-view mirror. I'm still not sure whether they changed lanes into my lane, or if they were going so fast that they weren't in my field of vision until I turned back around. They braked in time, though.
NVC is factually impersonal and formal. Instead of having a genuine human interaction with somebody, NVC aims to lay out a method of choosing ones words carefully to influence the receiver in the desired way. Nothing about it is casual nor genuinely personal, no matter how many times you utter the word "feel".

Feel free to substitute "friend" with "somebody you treat pleasantly with the typical degree of respect". A manager who uses NVC is little different from a used car salesman who gives firm handshakes and throws around warm smiles.
> with a 99% confidence interval

Confidence intervals assume a random sample. This wasn’t a random sample.
> Are grade schoolers doing assignments that can't reasonably be completed on a raspberry pi grade computer or lower?

If the assignment involves a computer, the materials were probably not developed or tested on a Pi or anything similar, so, yeah, they probably often can't reasonably be completed on a Pi or lower as assigned, even if there is no technical reason that they couldn't have been developed with that in mind.
Don’t misinterpret my words.

But, OF COURSE nonviolent communication empowers the speaker. It’s about articulating the SPEAKER’S observations, feelings, needs, and recommendations and putting them in an order where you can understand the context.

If you don’t communicate your feelings to other people, they will find it difficult to empathize with you.
rogue => arbitrary opinion and not defined legally.

disinformation/psyop campaign => can adequately describe most political campaigns.

detrimental to our sovereignty => does this sound like Chinese reaction to western people commenting on HK?

Not very convincing, in an ideal world everyone would have freedom of expression and freedom to influence other people in all circumstances. Now that doesn't mean freedom from the consequence of it but legally it shouldn't be restricted unless its active hate speech. A Russian posting 'great god emperor Donald Trump' on facebook doesn't fall in that camp.
Well they almost certainly weren't selected. But there might be latent correlational factors that cause HK views to correlate with blind-membership.

Unless the government provides internet service, what does it matter who runs the ISPs, whether they are "government induced ogliopolies" or plucky startups? They're still private entities; still not protected by your vision of the right to free speech.
It is coincidental that the person who lost their wallet is working in that industry, but it probably helped the story go viral instead of just disappearing.

I happen to be friends with the guy who found the wallet - we met at the CouchSurfing meetup in Kaohsiung, when he visited Taiwan.

This was his personal reaction:

"I found a wallet in the middle of the road while cycling home from work today. I couldn't find the guy on Facebook, but one of his bank cards had his sort code and account number printed on it, so I got in touch by transferring him 4p and including my phone number in the payment references. It worked, and he tweeted about it, and it's gone viral! Unfortunately so have I (with a cold) but this is making me feel much better"

"A fitting end to perhaps the strangest day of my life. More reflection tomorrow once I've wrapped my head round it all x"
(with a link to a video from 7News Australia about it).
My single anecdote isnt single at all. We are talking about several schools using same method with kids in the top 3% on average.

Show me the research and we can debate it, until then the primary problem in the us is that parent put their kids to bed too late.

Right but doesn’t someone have to vacuum and clean the place anyway? Seems like the additional cost of adding “plug in the Alexa if it’s unplugged” to the cleaning checklist would be completely negligible.
A tour of flatMap and how if you keep generalizing end up with a practical understanding of monads. Idea is to write versions through concrete examples and of flapMap simultaneously in Java and TypeScript. It will likely end with if this makes sense to you use a language with better support.
I'd say that video games will be the next social media (if they aren't already). When they created Twitters and Facebooks, they've never imagined that one day their platform will be a highly politicized. Similarly, people haven't imagined that video games are used for politics, but in the end every platform is going to be political. I wouldn't say it's something they have "created" (as others pointed out already), but rather they've only noticed its nature now.
The two questions seem designed to try and get a certain answer.

A better question would be: "Did Blizzard make a mistake with how they handled this sitatuion?"
First word that came to my mind was “Right.” Was happy to see that as the top comment.
No, NVC would have you say "I feel X when I notice you doing Y." The way you phrased it implies blame.

That's exactly what this discussion is about - you're not free to start a blog. Running any form of web site on the internet requires the support of multiple private companies, which can and do shut sites down at their whims.
They aren't owned by Blizzard.

You don't have to put "!g" at the beginning of the query. Just put it somewhere in the query -- at the end, or in the middle, anywhere where it is separated by whitespace.

Also, many soft-keyboards these days let you type common symbols, including "!", by holding down some key, or holding down a key and dragging across a popup. This makes re-searching on google take 5 or 6 taps -- one to edit the query, an optional one to drag the cursor to be between search terms, three for " ", "!", and "g", and one for the "enter" "search" button.
The Coming AI Spring
You’re correct that there’s a clear winning move, but you’re wrong about what that move is. Blizzard’s stock price hasn’t budged much since the scandal unfolded. Clearly the market doesn’t think there are going to be any long term repercussions from this. Every few week the gaming internet gets really mad about something or the (loot boxes, micro transactions, DRM, etc) and kicks up a huge fuss and then everyone immediately forgets about it and keeps buying games.

Why on earth would Blizzard feel
compelled to exit the Chinese market right now (which would definitely tank the stock price)?
You can’t construct that confidence interval unless you know the sample was selected randomly among all Blizzard employees. If the sample is self selected then you don’t have anything at all, really the data is useless.

In general, there is a lot of pressure for employees to conform to company decisions, regardless of their actual opinion, because their job is on the line. It does not matter that this “Blind” service purports to be anonymous. People will still demonstrate a bias because they have no guarantee that their communications are not being monitored and ultimately they have nothing to gain by giving their honest opinion.
The receiver empathizing with the user is not considered by users of NVC as an end in and of itself, but rather a means towards an end. The real objective is getting something from them other than their empathy.
Its not anectdotal and i would urge you to point to the scientific studies so we can debate their methodology and “scientific” base. I’m too old to just take these kind of studies as science without looking at the details. Now you dont have to take my examples for more than they are but they sure contradict the claims being made in this thread and onna state level.
I don't know if it's the same for everyone, but I know with age and I hope "maturity" I appreciate many more forms of art. Things I didn't have the life experience or emotional depth to grasp when I was younger can deeply impact me now. An example would be Mark Rothko's paintings. I would have said "pfft anyone can do that...just some stripes or blocks" when I was a kid, and probably did, but have recently rediscovered his work and absolutely love it. Same with a lot of poetry as you mentioned. I really regret not having more openness and ability to grasp these things before. I really wish I had more health and life stability, and the resultant time and means to explore and experience creative things.
Did they really give back the money though? Last I heard they said they "believed" that he should get the money, not that he would get it.

>We now believe he should receive his prizing. We understand that for some this is not about the prize, and perhaps for others it is disrespectful to even discuss it. That is not our intention.

They will just refuse entry. Wearing a MAGA shirt or hat, or a tshirt with various profanities is also freedom of expression, but is routinely banned in many private events including airports.

Edit: You can be banned from airlines since they are privately owned, but not airports since they are publicly owned.
You're talking about a totally separate thing here. Death threats are still not the same as reporting intended to expose organizers personally and potentially make them more likely to experience violent retribution.

The issue you're grappling with is something that has no clear cut answer, namely: the question of whether doxxing is ever appropriate, and which major publications still face intense heat over.

Huh? Is your suggestion that these are not employees, but "people paid by a company to perform work for them"?

I suppose the FTE/contractor distinction is relevant here, but otherwise I don't get your point
Yup what works and doesn't work depends on many factors (personality type, what people have been through in life, number of dumbasses they are currently surrounded by etc) so the outcomes can be highly unpredictable no matter what you do.

But having different tools in the toolkit and awareness of what's available makes a big difference.

So I look at NVC in that context, as one tool that falls under the 'communication strategy' category. There are many tools under many categories to build trust, respect and connection with others. At the end of the day what outcomes you produce are what matters. And many times it requires a combo of tools.
> Blizzard banned a player for saying something that is completely within the American political mainstream

Apparently not, considering how many US companies have decided that this is kind of talk is forbidden.

The worst part to me is that many (often older) loan words have anglicized pronunciation, while other loan words keep their original pronunciation.

If you can be bothered to use betterC then that's probably not true. To be argumentative, C is fucking horrible. BetterC still gives you a decent chunk of D's features - templates alone make it worth the switch. No more macro spam for example.

NVC shouldn’t be practiced in uneven relationships (teacher - student, parent - child, employer - employee, customer - server) for the exact reason mentioned by GP. It’s simultaneously condescending and confusing to the party with less power, inviting them to test what leverage they can gain - usually none.
I think the only potential issue is that it isn't clear what sections of Market are not intended for cars currently from the signs visible from the side streets intersecting it, so major improvements to signage need to be made or unsuspecting people are going to constantly end up turning on to the car-prohibited sections of the street.
If kids get to bed around 8pm they will normally be up at around 6-6.30 plenty of time for most to get ready.

But sure if they are put to bed at 9-10 then its going to be tougher.
