> Users were told that upvoting rule-breaking posts would risk a sitewide ban

The consequences are very gradual, starting with warnings, then going up to temporary and eventually permanent ban. So it won't come out of nowhere, you will have plenty of change to adjust your behavior.

> Reddit gets to declare any content "bad" by arbitrary or overly broad or even unspecified rules. That's the uproar.

Not really, they have very precise rules and content policy, which they use to take down content.

I do agree that being told which content you're being punished for, and what specific rules said content broke, would help users adjust their behavior, but you also run the chance, as with any sort of moderation, to teaching abusers ways to bypass the system. That's why things like shadowbanning exists.

At the end of the day, as yesterday's ruling for Youtube showed [0], these websites are not public forums, and they are free to have any rules they want. If you're not happy or you don't trust that they apply their content policy fairly, you can move to a different website with different rules.

The "hackerrank crap" gets into my head too. It's part of why I've been procrastinating on looking for a new job. I need to sort myself out.

Instead of solving the problem, a corner of my brain is thinking "all I want to know right now is: is there a greater than 0 chance that this sort of code appears in a PR and if so, we are done."
Of course you are always going to interact with N people. Your family consists of n₀ people, there are n₁ people in your office, there are n₂ people around you on the train, etc. Area calculations would matter if each infected person somehow densely contaminated an entire circle of a large diameter.
“Can't assume this is being done in good faith as the comments leading The Donald to be quarantined could be edits, or shill accounts.”

Some mods were caught upvoting content forbidden by the Reddit participation guidelines, leading to the removal of said mods. Are those mods shill accounts? What evidence can you provide supporting that?
Querious – native MySQL Tool with outstanding performance for macOS
In Japan who would typically take care of children in a situation like this? In the US, because of the difficulty for parents to get off of work, I would expect most of the children to be in large group settings anyway (day care, staying with friends, large extended families, etc). It might limit spread a little bit compared to school, but not a lot.
Actually this is a great point and something we want to improve on. Code review / pull requests would be a great talking point. I'll be sure to bring it up.
That's not exactly fair to Raku. A more fair critique (and keeping with the theme of this thread) is that Raku is less focused on integrating with the Unix command line than it is on tool building putting it closer to Python than Perl(5) in the spectrum of things. This was a specific design influence dating back to the first days of Perl 6, so it makes some sense.
I absolutely can think it’s ok. I purchase and properly dispose of single use plastic items. Nothing wrong with that.
The difficulty I always thrash around with is: proportional by area or proportional by population? I used to do some crime maps and some areas would look quite crime-ridden ... because they were areas with very little population, as the census counts it, like parks and such, so the crime would look rather high. So dividing by population isn't the cure-all, but it beats nothing. For giggles, I would do crimes in a given region, crimes in a region divided by that area, and crimes in a region divided by the population in that region. Very different-looking results.

I have often considered dividing by some kind of combination of area and population, but even that seems not quite right. Disregarding "victimless crimes," much crime is interactive: two or more parties must be involved, therefore the population ought to have some kind of exponent attached to it, like particles bouncing against one another in a container.

I never did puzzle this out, I am sure brighter minds than I would have come to some conclusions.
The question is - _an_ adblocker or _the_ adblocker (ublock)? As a long time FF Android user I prefer uMatrix and will wait with upgrade, hoping they fix this quickly. Otherwise... Not sure what I'll do. This is bad. :-(
Everyone is focused on the precipitous drop in launch costs, but the supply chain is really where the biggest opportunities now lie.

Many suppliers are struggling with finding the right balance between economies of scale, lead time, modularity/standardization, reliability, and (backwards) compatibility.

As industry volume increases, this should start straightening itself out. The challenge is that there's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem at the moment: there's a severe lack of transparency, meaning that commercial market forces are largely missing.

So greater transparency = greater competitiveness = better price/value ratio = faster, better, cheaper satellites
afaik, BPF has been retroactively renamed to classic BPF (cBPF).
Calling T_D "the subreddit of a presidential candidate" is like calling a forum for hardcore Harry Potter-themed BDSM erotica "the forum for Harry Potter".

Except ... that the latter is pretty harmless and all in good fun for the people who are into it, while T_D is a venue for (among other things) radicalizing literal children with blind ideological hatred and shameless untruths.

I still like the analogy, though.

The one button mouse came from the era of classic Mac OS, which had few contextual menus, and didn't really need the second button.

> And by the way do you know who is the majority owner of Tencent? Naspers, a South African media company

Naspers does not own a majority position in Tencent. They own closer to ~31% of the company. A large position, however that means very little given it's a Chinese juggernaut (see: Yahoo vs China in the Alibaba & Alipay spats).

In case the (2015) is misleading, this is newly released video from an internal-to-facebook talk he gave in 2015. Cool
Ugh. These people are sociopaths. Honestly I wish we would have more public distain and opprobrium for this type of sociopathic behavior, instead of just treating it with a "well, most CEOs are at that very least extremely aggressive" shrug.

If we treated this kind of behavior like we treat child abuse there would be zero tolerance for it at the top levels of business.

> He did it because he thought it would be appreciated (obviously he was wrong).

It's a bit beyond "I thought this would be funny, honest mistake, sorry", isn't it? How often has he (and others) done that without being caught doing so? And of course, once you're caught red handed in the cookie jar, is anything you say about acting alone and that not being SOP true, or is it just damage control?

Regarding him being a "young, rookie CEO", he's been the CEO of reddit for years previously and was the CTO of Hipmunk. It's not like he found himself in a role with a lot of power and overstepped the line a bit in his first week.

I don't think it's a state affair, but it's not "I was tired and emotional and I kind of clicked on the wrong button" either.
"A Single Death is a Tragedy; a Million Deaths is a Statistic"

In many Western societies, the elderly are going to receive more in lifetime services than they ever 'put in' in taxes.

Additionally, the wealth of the oldest cohorts have been increasing, whilst the youngest cohorts have been decreasing.

If a 2% deathrate across my country (overwhelmingly the elderly) means I can finally afford to buy a house (due to lower taxes, and increased housing supply/reduced demand), that's a situation I am willing to accept. It would be beneficial to society because I would be able to have children and improve the currently very low fertility rate.

Additionally, the youngest generations now face a huge burden of solving climate change, something that older generations have been responsible for but politically refuse to address.

When I look at Coronavirus, I see only opportunity for civilization and an improvement in the personal situations for many young people.
Given they don't have to specify the rules broken nor the posts which broke the rule, that clarification is essentially irrelevant to the way in which this policy will likely be used.
Seems like that would only explain an increase in the 1Gb version. The only reasons for a price drop in the 2Gb version is that it either got cheaper to make it, or the market told them $45 was too high and they had to cut their profit margin.

IMHO, $10 for an extra 1Gb of RAM is pretty excessive. So I'm glad to see the market (probably) has spoken.
> The users of that forum have literally been linked to public shootings.

I dislike that subreddit as much as anyone, but that’s guilt by peaceful association and can be leveled at a lot of different websites, video games, and political parties.

Let’s not go there.
If your rules say comments will be truncated to 1000 chars, yo do it on the input. If your rules say all prices are in dollars, but your frontend accepts other currencies, you convert on the input, and overstaff the consumer support.

Honestly, those names mean a lot of different stuff to different people. It's not good that there are so many, it's more a consequence of the widespread of bad practices.
You think corporate bureaucracies are bad now? What until they’re a legally protected monopoly.
Nothing stops that; negative coverage of trademarks is fine. There's no distinction between positive advertising and negative advertising.

> It's you who have misread my comment.

Like several others, I was also confused by your initial comment. At first I thought you were criticizing the article as an example of bad graphics and useless 3D.

I am no master of communication, but there is one thing that stuck in my mind from a class I took many years ago: If I am talking to someone or writing something they read, and they seem to be misinterpreting or misunderstanding me, who is responsible for that? Is it the reader or listener, or is it me?

The lesson was that I, the person doing the communicating, am responsible, not the person receiving the communication. It's usually not helpful to blame them for misunderstanding. Instead I should realize that I was probably unclear in some way, and do what I can to clear it up.

Of course there are exceptions. Sometimes people are willfully misunderstanding and don't give you a chance to clarify. I remember one friend who delighted in pouncing on me if we were casually brainstorming and I said something that wasn't exactly what I really meant. When I would correct myself they would say "Oh no, you already said XYZ and you can't take it back now!"

But I think those cases are unusual, and I've found it very helpful to avoid blaming the listener and just see how I can be more clear.
It's misguided to think that T_D is about politics, because it's not. It's about identity. The politics here are incidental.

As someone living here in the Bay Area, I have little to no interaction with the current ongoing Coronavirus outbreak. Why are Asian countries taking such dramatic measures right now?

To be willing to take on such an economic drain in order to do so makes it seem like they're treating the virus like a potential pandemic. Are the death rates for the current coronavirus outbreak substantially higher than the regular flu? What else am I missing here?
I'm using Firefox Preview regularly for a few month now, and it really is a huge step up in performance. Javascript and CSS-heavy sites now behave as they should, and browsing feels smooth overall. However the UI changes are a big step back and the main reason why I've not completely switched over from the regular Firefox (now I won't have that choice it looks like) :

- The address/search bar is much much inferior. Much less relevant results now come up first. When typing the domain name of a site I visit daily said site will come up low on the list, needing to scroll, while some autocompleted address I've never visited once will be on top.

- Extensions are not supported. A single supported extension does not count.

- The thumbnails are removed from the tab list. Not a huge loss but I had gotten used to it

- Popups each time you close a tab use up unnecessary screen space. Also they often just stay there.

- The address bar is now at the bottom. Change for the sake of change.

I don't know if all of these issues will transfer to the new Firefox, but I wish they would have brought in the engine changes only. Current UI is fine.
Surely using the app store, or dragging an app to the applications folder is more sane than every program needing a installer program to put all the files in the right places?

Thanks, that's all very interesting. I can see how, if you're super-dedicated, you could save your organic trash and make a trip to bring it somewhere once a week or something.

However, I'll stand by my point that it's anything but trivial. The city may offer organic waste pickup in theory, but not to my apartment building or any I've ever lived in. I've never even heard of it residentially.

So spending, say, 20 minutes a week saving it and hygienically transporting the incredibly smelly contents on your subway commute, all for a small bag of apple cores, orange rinds, wilted greens and meat trimmings and such... seems like kind of an insane level of effort for a tiny return, no?

I only see composting happening realistically at scale if a law is passed requiring every apartment building to provide a compost receptacle. And I'm honestly not sure how that could be made to work hygienically. Until then...
I just tried it on Firefox, and it works fine on my laptop.

I'll add the best thing Apple could do to fix iPadOS is make the developers working on it bootstrap[0] it. E.g., by running some version of Xcode on it (or CLI tools until they have Xcode working). Those developer would then fix it right up.

I contend that iPadOS is so sluggish to use because it's a compile target from a real machine that developers respect and work on, not a machine that those developers take seriously itself. That Apple is pushing a platform so hard that their own developers would never use for their work is everything you need to know about using an iPad for productivity. Sure, there are other tasks you can use a computer for besides programming, but sorry, programming is the task for computers, everything else stems from it.

Don't know about the politics, but we beat up each other too much:

People end up in groups based on their journey to find someone who validates their hardship.

In 201x, the process goes something like this:

When we struggle, we reach out for help, and rather than finding articles that are soothing chicken soup, they're news articles that we are worthy of contempt based on characteristics we have. The reader may get angered, as preposterously, some how, a specified group of people's needs and niche circumstance eclipses everything else. The algorithms leads to a string of sensational articles about how society needs to be restructured honor the whims of people based on a trait and exceptional edgecase circumstances.

Respect is conditional based on tribal loyalty and repeating generalized tropes with religious zeal - if you dare to dissect it as a social construction - you're out of the club. You're not enlightened, don't get it, and generally what's wrong with society, somehow.

I think general miserliness and insensitivity create the conditions for people to resort to unifying over absurd polarizing generalizations above all else. If our feelings and worth are based on preconditions, I'd assume it'd be pretty hard to build consensus, cooperate and make everyone feel loved and cared for.

That said, when people squabble over rhetorical devices instead of unifying to improve the conditions of legal persons universally, it's great for the stock market.
so by "responsible or diligent that person is", you mean personality wise? A person that doesn't pay their bills due to depression is still not acting responsibly.
Free speech isn't limited to the government. The government may be the only entity legally obligated to uphold it, but we can still be unhappy when others elect to suppress it.
I'm interested in more detail on your privacy policy, and reading any contractual language on this subject in your Terms of Use (or whatever other fine print forms the agreement between you and your customers).

I stay far away from services like 23andMe because of their user-hostile terms (at least that's the impression I got when I last scrutinized them a few years ago).

To me the ideal DNA test would be one I process myself at home, without sending anything to the cloud. I recognize that's not viable since most of us lack home laboratories.

Next best option would be one where the sample is submitted anonymously and results accessible under a system-generated ID code. That would alleviate some of the risk if you or your partners screw up in terms of privacy and security (it's naive to ignore that possibility - look at how many Fortune 500's have been breached or suffered human error).

A user could "opt in" to share identifying information (ideally only to the extent they're comfortable - e.g. I might be willing to submit coarse data like racial background, age, etc. while withholding my name and address).

In all cases I would still expect to see very strong, binding language in both your agreements with me, and those with the labs you subcontract out to, assuring that my data will be kept confidential and all traces deleted (including from all backups!) when I request.

Regarding re-sequencing and long-term storage for privacy concerned users: give me the option to download the raw data (compressed and encrypted?) and delete it from your platform. I can re-submit to you in a few years for an updated analysis. That avoids the cost of re-sequencing while, for privacy-conscious users like me, minimizes the window in which you storing my data could cause me harm.
IIRC, it's true on the floor of the Pantheon, which is stone (atop what I think is roman concrete). The floor slopes towards a point below the oculus, where a drain in the floor has been placed to get rid of rainwater. That said, I doubt anyone will be parking a new Mac Pro there anytime soon.

I find it interesting that your comment is being downvoted. Particularly interesting since only certain users have the downvote ability unlocked.

Your comment is informative, especially since a lot of comments so far in this thread are "Where are the users going to go?"
this is not just annoying, but considering that every talking head references these figures I think having no correct data is actually dangerous. It would be better to just remove the page than use such a error-prone publishing style. have these people not heard of github?

never mind I guess, since they aren't testing in the US anyway. who needs correct numbers?

anyone feels like scraping and gnu-ploting these snapshots? I bet there is more weird things in there.

Yikes. I have had the misfortune of working in places where explaining the benefits of basic technologies lands on deaf ears. This happens a lot with regard to infosec (requiring 2FA, enforcing password manager use).

Quite honestly just do your best to move the company forward. There's really very little reason to not use best practice approaches, especially when doing so costs nothing other trekking the learning curve.

If you get too much resistance, find a better place to work.

If you are a dev, you don't want to be working anywhere that is failing to follow the most basic best practices.
