I'm sorry but this is classic tinfoil conspiracy theorizing. I do regularly check T_D out of curiosity, and almost every single time I see rule breaking comments in top posts. Threats of violence, doxxing, etc. If you can find similar content on left leaning subreddits on a regular basis that doesn't get reported and deleted right away, then I'd be happy to entertain your theory, but I have not seen it.

Also, the Donald wasn't quarantined until a few months ago, which is long long after The_Donald peaked and started popping up on r/all.
Awesome, so basically if someone suspects they are infected, they won't get tested because they can't pay, and they still need to go work at the restaurant, infecting everyone else.

That's so reassuring!
Is there a sub with 1M users that doesn't experience this? Or is it the nature of large numbers of people on anonymous internet forums that such things will always occur?
I don't have links at the ready, but I have seen multiple instances of TD brigading with pinned topics. I am not saying I know for a fact it has happened recently, but it has happened. I don't blame you for wanting evidence, but their track record doesn't give them the benefit of the doubt.
I loved this look back on data visualization from The Economist. You might as well.

> But according to the Pew Research Center, the number of adults using Facebook plateaued in 2018, and WhatsApp user number decreased: Only 20% of U.S. adults use WhatsApp in 2019, down from 22% in 2018. This is vastly smaller than the 73% who use YouTube, and the 69% who use Facebook. The only social media network that was less popular in the U.S. was Reddit.
Which is a good outcome for everyone involved. Reddit wants to contain the blast radius of T/D. T/D wants to be able to post things that aren't considered acceptable on Reddit. People can and should vote with their feet.
Correct. In fact, even the second phrasing, "I wonder what the CEO thinks..." could easily be interpreted as expecting a response. It seems you'd have to really bend over backwards to avoid that, perhaps explicitly saying something like, "Obviously I wouldn't expect him to respond here, but I'm curious whether the CEO shares this view." Or something like that.
Yeah at the end of the day it seems by far the best outcome. I'm just thinking there may be some sort of red tape surrounding the liability aspects of that outcome. Like maybe there's a waiver of liability for passing a sick person off as healthy, except it only applies to such and such equipment, etc. I'm just using my imagination here, I have no experience in the medical industry.

Bits of plastic smaller than the maximum diameter of beetle poop are probably not going to be recognized and removed as plastic anyway.

Just shake it all through some progressively finer screens and blow the remaining plastics off the tops of the screens with a blast of air.

Perhaps the plastics would gum up the food-shredder?
this looks cool, but what if a user messes up my database? how does it work?

Yes, the death rates are somewhere around 20x higher, and it is much more transmissable. The nytimes has a great graph showing the range of possible values for death rate and transmissability of the virus as compared to other historical viruses. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/18/learning/whats-going-on-i...

My only quibble is that the shape of the uncertainty shouldn't be a box, it should be oriented around a downward sloping line.
Time will tell. Wikipedia has been around for much longer.
The original bar set by Doug Mcllroy was:

> ... [a] more practical, much faster to implement, debug and modify solution of the problem takes only six lines of shell script by reusing standard Unix utilities.

Unlike tr, sort, uniq, awk and tr, perl is not a standard Unix utility. Not only that, but Text::LevenshteinXS is a plugin that must be downloaded.

It's still far more convenient than Knuth's work, and it follows Spinellis' reasoning about the Unix mindset, but Spinellis' Levenshtein example doesn't actually support Mcllroy's original argument.
Wasn't there something about fans blowing at 100% with non-HPE drives due to their firmware?
They really need beta.github.com to let people test changes that are not yet defacto. A uservoice type of thing, and the ability for people to join. I love to beta test and give feedback. Microsoft has used uservoice in the past, as has Sulake and other companies I've beta tested for (as a customer).

Edit:

Realized *.github.com takes you to your .github.io sites.

That’s usually due to supporters of the forum in question flagging it to prevent others from viewing it easily. If you have the mobile Imgur app it can view the link without being signed in.

Nice. That's way better. Especially in the situation with rare maladies (or a combination of them) it doesn't take long for the layperson to know more about it than their local GP will. Trying to convince them to order a $900 lab for you would be an uphill battle in many cases.

I don't believe in the 6 thinking hats methodology (I don't think it has anything to do with psychology, but I do think it has something to say about work), but I think I learned something from reading about it.

I have a certain mentality where I will plan a feature, and then I will spend literally forever poking holes in that feature and thinking about all the ways it will fail. This demotivates me greatly.

I think it is better to plan the happy path, then take a finite, planned amount of time to mentally test it and note corners and edges, then take a stab at iteration, then go back and re-evaluate. I think this is probably how normal people do this, but I also think it's easy to get stuck on one of those modes. One of my architects is stuck on happy-path mode, and it's really hard to get them to actually think about implementations.

---

Notes on the 6 hats: I think the important thing is not to get stuck on one hat. You may pick some of these as your focus, but I think it's important to have some balance as well.

Hat Color - Original Theme/My theme

White - Data/Data Analysis

Yellow - Optimism/Happy Path Plan, Architectural View

Blue - Process/ Project Manager, Task management, Scrum

Black - Pessimism/Testing view, how will it go wrong

Green - Creative/Implementation Phase (just write some code)

Red - Emotion/Iteration Review, Hot wash
So I tried to visit https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/ to see what the fuss is about, but apparently Reddit wants me to jump through hoops to give them my email to even be able to view it. Is there any archive site or whatever that will let me view this subreddit without giving reddit my personal information?
You are grossly misrepresenting my post, I have said nothing about whether the escaping should be applied to input or output, please edit or delete your comment.
That's a bummer. Is NY on the roadmap or is this due to an intractable regulatory gate?

I only know what the Internet says so this may or may not be correct.

1. Inward opening is probably less inclined to disperse bathroom air into the hallway outside.

2. You're probably less likely to smack someone with a door opening into a hallway. (Or course, someone entering might do it to someone exiting a bathroom but most people are probably at least somewhat trained to exercise caution under those circumstances.)

3. If anything, I'd think fire code would favor door opening out given that's the general rule.
The counterargument might be the idea that the small and individual changes signals that people are willing to put effort and money into the cause.

Which eventually will enable new policies that do a better job of changing the big things.

Such as - I guess that the biggest, environmental, advantage of an electric car is signalling that hey, I'm willing to put many thousands of dollars and tolerate an reduced range - partly because I value the environment.

Doesn't matter if an electric car actually is better for the environment (buying a new car seldom is) - it signals a will and desire. Both of which are paramount for policy-makers.
I think there has been a ratcheting up of visa requirements for all non-UK nationals. The nationalists have successfully quashed immigration from developing countries first, followed by commonwealth countries, and now through Brexit EU countries.
Do you think the growth in users at T_D occurred before or after Trump announced his candidacy? It is clearly a political forum. And as far as politics and identity goes, I don't think you can find two more tightly related topics other than perhaps religion.
> With 0.01% and two different tests, you will get a false positive in every 100'000'000 tests.

That doesn't sound right to me (i.e. only the case if false positive distributions are independent and uncorrelated, which seems unlikely), but I don't know enough about statistics and epidemiology to dispute it.
It's always possible. However, I forced this change. It didn't occur naturally over time.
Why is "has province reported any cases?" the most meaningful information? Ignoring the current reality of every province having reported cases since January, a simple boolean shading would obfuscate nearly every vital insight realistically conceivable. If it were the case that 3 months after the Hubei outbreak, Hubei had 100,000 reported cases, and all bordering provinces had 1-100, that is an extremely important distinction to make when assessing the effectiveness of containment policies (and/or the trustworthiness of official government numbers).
As someone who has experienced hunger and malnutrition, it is entirely a product of capitalism and not a specific detail in the food production chain.

Our economic system is highly inefficient, and waste is a necessary part of maintaining profitable prices. This includes starvation, homelessness, and unemployment. Scarcity must be maintained.

Malnutrition, or simply hunger in more plain terms, is prevalent across every type of community in the US and the world. The ghettos of cities, trailer parks and economically depressed rural areas, dilapidated suburbs, and the often overlooked Native land reservations.

Just to get an idea of the inordinate balance of resources, consider that there are 552,830 homeless people in the US as of 2018 and 17,019,726 vacant homes. Billionaires hoard absolutely massive amounts of value generated by workers and do nothing with it or just let it sit in their portfolios.

This mode of production is obscenely inefficient and long due for an overhaul.
What about brigading, harassment and intent to incite violence of other subreddits related to Sanders, r/politics, r/news, r/worldnews? Are they under similar quarantines and rules?
Someone I read about code maintenance and/or quality years ago asserted that if the code uses different concepts than the domain the software is designed for, then you have intentionally built an impedance mismatch into your project and you're gonna have a bad time.

I haven't read enough about DDD to know if he was just a precursor or onto something else, but it does seem to map well to my least comfortable work situations.
I suspect this is a case of an isolated demand for rigor. It’s quite difficult to have a political reddit with 700,000 subscribers and not have comments or post being made that break the rules. Especially when there are strong incentives for people to use alts to make false flag posts.

I strongly doubt r/the_donald is being fairly treated by reddit when most of the admin team has a fundamental objection to the sub’s message. The admin team in the past have shown they cannot act professionally. For example the CEO edited user’s messages in the r/the_donald to try and create discord between users.

It is interesting how newer interfaces tend to be seen as worse. (Windows 9x/XP vs Windows 8/8.1/10 or Mac OS current version vs previous version)

On the other hand, there is no reason that desktop websites should have navigation hidden under a menu.

> Is it wrong that I find it a terrible thing that people aren't allowed computers with internet or cellphones in prison?

Yes, you are wrong. These communication devices are taken away because the nature of the reason you are typically holding folks (violent crimes, gang activity, etc).

> How do we expect people to join back to society when they can't use literally the number one most important thing?

A lot of these people will not being rejoining society. They will spend the rest of their days in their cage. Let's not be rose-colored about this.

> Maybe give them phones with no cameras and monitoring of use, but just nothing seems very inhumane.

No thanks. They can use the monitored computer center.
Remember folks, you can still just call restaurants and place delivery orders by talking to a human being (gasps!) without paying the Silicon Valley VC/IPO tax.
CAA is for telling competent CAs that you don't want to use their service, so as to avoid them being fooled by bad guys who pretend to be you. If you think their methods are dubious or just won't be effective due to how your names are managed, CAA lets you flag that they shouldn't issue for your names at all.

If a CA is incompetent or malevolent it would just ignore CAA records or not check them at all.

It would be a serious bug if a web browser for example went "Hey this site has a cert from Bob's CA but the CAA records for the domain say only Alice's CA is to issue" and rejected the certificate from Bob's CA. The CAA notice is about allowing new issuances right now but maybe last week when I got this certificate from Bob's CA I didn't set that CAA record so that was fine.

It would be valid (maybe not a brilliant idea, but valid) to set CAA to refuse all issuance, changing it only for a few minutes once a week while you do all your certificate changes.
> It's not like they're "removing" it, they rewrote half the browser and not all of the APIs are hooked back up yet

For most users this is a distinction without a difference.

Wow, this looks great! Will check it out immediately tomorrow morning!
Being in the standard doesn't mean they are good or should be used.

java.util.Vector is standard as well but you'd be laughed out of a code review if you tried to use it anywhere. Similarly std::auto_ptr is in the standard, and is universally agreed to be trash to avoid like the plague. So much so it was (eventually) removed. The container section of the library has just sadly not had the same deprecation & removal of bad code put into it.

The claim was "STL containers are the sane default" not that "STL containers are more available". I stand by that claim being wrong. You have so far not actually attempted to counter it on any technical grounds, just bad appeal to authority fallacies.
If there was flooding and all the hard drives failed would you lose all the code? I've heard multiple times about game studios suffering a flooding and losing lots of code.

Version control has lots of uses, it helps you branch out and test new ideas, it saves your code from local doomsday scenarios at the office. Helps you to ask the correct developer what the code is supposed to do due to version commit history.

You can always keep your own local git repo. A coworker had a git repo inside an SVN repo, just add each version controls contents to a git / svn ignore file.
I think “cafeteria” is the key word in here. They most likely do not have the time & resources to do it how they would do it in a high end restaurant.
Collective action through widespread unity and organization. In other words, revolution. This method has successfully evolved society time and time again.
Hmm. One test of this would be whether the drug industry is wildly more profitable than other industries. Is it?

Hospitalization rates and mortality rates are up to 20x those of the flu. This upper bound will probably decrease because the denominator is undercounted.
Blogging is good! I've gotten freelance opportunities through people reading my articles; I mainly blog about testing.
Can you show an example of using doit and invoke to fork off jobs in Python? I’m pretty sure Perl has had similar functionality for some time.
The real lesson is there are multiple lessons. Layered security and risk management. Back up automatically, don't expose database, don't expose configuration files, use tools to try and exploit your own site first, try to avoid passwords in files at all if there ways to do so such as credential stores, encrypt data at rest, no plaintext passwords. When one layer fails the next layer turns this from a catastrophe into a mere headache.

Gab did that and was summarily attacked by silicon Valley et al., so I guess you would have to build an entirely separate internet infrastructure instead of just opening up shop with phpBB.
You have to be very careful with trip insurance and read the documentation to make sure it covers this case. Some insurance won’t necessarily cover pandemics, etc.
> enable it on trusted sites via 1 click easy to use UI

Does this just enable all scripts loaded by that site, or does it allow filtering by domain the scripts themselves are loaded from?

E.g. when browsing site.com you want to allow site.com (and often sitestatic.com or something), but still not allow doubleclick.net even though it's loaded by the same page.

The product is multi-tenant, your users are isolated from one to another and from your SaaS product.
Do you have any examples of 'intent to incite violence' from those subreddits? The difference is that moderators of those subreddits try to remove that type of content.
Tip: Only buy the masks sourced by Amazon and not by 3rd party sellers. Consider also the niche designer options (cloth washable N95/99). Yes, this is a thing. They are still available in large quantities and at normal prices. Also remember to wear eye protection.
Lots of cards for Linux commands, programming gotchas, and client-specific details like "Foo prefers H:i:s date formats".
Yes, the death rates are substantially higher than the flu. Flu is about .1% while coronavirus is 2% and remember that we have flu vaccines and somewhat effective drugs to combat influenza and nothing (yet proven) comparable for this new disease. High rates of hospitalization and injury.

In the case of China, chaos resulting from the panedemic has the potential to undue Xi Jinping's reign, so his cadre has decided to take the hit on the economy and go full war mode to combat it.

That being said, it does pose a critical danger and greater mortality rate if healthcare infrastructure is overwhelmed. The drastic lockdowns do help control the spread to a degree that mitigates this possibility and allows for the ramping up of response capacity. The US should be responding with comparable force (and probably will be forced to in the coming weeks), but there's a lot going against taking action at the moment, from poor national coordination, Trump administration cuts and malfeasance, bureaucratic impediments around mass testing, and outsourced supply chains.
A minimal increase across an entire population becomes relevant.
The nerve you have to accuse, then say you don't have links of proof, then demand links of proof from me when I say I've seen brigading. They are both anecdotal and yet you feel like yours is right and mine is laughable.

Neither side can say who is brigading for sure but only one side is getting banned.

The sanders subreddits and /r/politics brigading is prevalent from what I've seen. Hell, it was an issue on one of the Democratic debates about his supporters brigading. Warren seemed to think it was bad.

Anti-brigading rules were enacted on T_D and you can still see them in full force. I have never seen any pinned brigading posts. Other subs have not done the same an yet they haven't even been quarantined.

I don't have any links and you just said you don't have any links with proof of T_D brigading. Why would I keep track of that? I'm not the company banning users for their ideologies and pretending it was because of "brigading" while providing no proof. I'm the guy saying it's an unpassable purity test and no sub would be safe under the same scrutiny. It's targeted and wrong.

All of this is anecdotal and that's how you know it's targeted. There hasn't been one sliver of evidence that T_D mods supported brigading.

Yes there are probably a lot of reports, but that's because it's a political subreddit in this climate, of course there are, especially when everyone else on the site hates them.

Reddit is now officially 100% an echo-chamber. Congrats you're on the way to be Digg. Good riddance.
Possibly but I don't think so in my case. I've worked 9:30 am - 6:30 pm or later for most of my 25 year career. Stayed up until 2 am every night pretty much.

I really did force the change for myself and it totally sucked going through it. I still don't just jump out of bed and feel instantly great. It takes 30 minutes or so to get fully awake. For example, this morning I so did not want to get up because I stayed up until 1 am. However, I did get up at 5:30 am anyway. It was awful and I'm dragging today. Caffeine helps as well.
> Basically the theory is that children often get the 4x regular coronavirus strains and this provides a bit of protection against the new coronavirus strain.

If that is true, that would seem to imply that one could improve one's resistance of COVID-19 by deliberately infecting themself with one or more non-COVID-19 coronaviruses. (Not that I suggest anyone try this.)
