For me, personally, it would be easier to accept a good faith answer if they explained what "sharp tone" led to the expulsion. I mean, I can completely understand if threats were made, or if disparaging comments against protected categories (i.e. sexist, racist, etc comments). Or hate speech, or content that is clearly against policy (i.e. links to pornography). Personal attacks, doxing, stalking, extended periods of harassment etc, etc, etc. There are lots of things that people get banned for and it's pretty easy to say what they are.

Banning someone because they vehemently disagree with you? I mean, that's the only thing I can parse from their statement. It's basically saying, "I do not wish to discuss things with you, so you are banned".

The funny thing is, I don't think that's inherently wrong. In any group, I think you should be able to choose your friends. If you don't want to hang out with someone, then that sucks for that person, but lots of things in life suck. However, banning the co-founder because you no longer wish to talk to them is pretty much the definition of a power grab ;-)
Every project grows until it becomes too complex and hence unmanageably buggy. Some languages/static analyzers/linters/architectures/frameworks let a project become bigger and more complex before becoming unmanageably buggy.

So if you look at two projects, and both have a bunch of bugs, that doesn't tell you much. You have to know bugs-per-unit-complexity, which is pretty damn close to unmeasurable.

It's telling, though, that the companies managing the world's most complex systems run them in C++, Java, and TypeScript. And more recently, Go and Rust.

With much finance research, if the results were real, the researchers would be making billions on Wall Street rather than be academics. So, too, with software research. If the results were real, the researchers could become gazillionaires advising FAANG instead of being academics.
This is all assuming they use antennas that are optimized for the application. If they use a “chip” antenna, performance will suck.
Personally, I don’t think the major move happening right now is from gasoline cars to EVs. The major move is from cars to no cars. Tesla will not be a great trillion dollar company in this scenario. It will be just another car manufacturer.
Health care in the US is paid by the employer.

There is no universal health care, and the fewer employees who get sick, the less money a company has to pay out in health expenditures/insurance plan premiums for the next billing cycle.

Also, this means that if you are out of work, you could easily die from preventable illnesses and nobody would really care.
BSD was already open-source and superior to linux as the time it came out; it was only hampered by licensing concerns.
> he sees the same game being played that has been played by the Left for centuries to gain control of institutions and then completely subvert them from their original purpose. If you don't understand that historical context, of course you're not going to understand why he is being so forceful about this.

To be clear, the historical context for this point is that this is a Nazi conspiracy theory ("cultural Marxism") that posits left-wing Jews sought (and continue to seek) to subvert academic institutions.

> But, while technically innovative, with a carbon-fiber body, the i3 is essentially a very expensive hatchback.

Yep. When people buy high performance or luxury cars, part of the mystique is that it is the latest evolution of some sort of classic. It's going to be hard for BMW et al to position electric vehicles as belonging to any existing lineage. This puts their brand at risk unless they can figure out how to make a remarkable electric car. But nobody really knows what that would be.
And the gate shall remain, and henceforth it shall be called "technical debt."
Agreed.

Have you read any Guy Standing?

“ …today, a tiny minority of people and corporate interests across the world are accumulating vast wealth and power from rental income, not only from housing and land but from a range of other assets, natural and created. ‘Rentiers’ of all kinds are in unparalleled ascendancy and the neo-liberal state is only too keen to oblige their greed.

Rentiers derive income from ownership, possession or control of assets that are scarce or artificially made scarce. Most familiar is rental income from land, property, mineral exploitation or financial investments, but other sources have grown too. They include the income lenders gain from debt interest; income from ownership of ‘intellectual property’ (such as patents, copyright, brands and trademarks); capital gains on investments; ‘above normal’ company profits (when a firm has a dominant market position that allows it to charge high prices or dictate terms); income from government subsidies; and income of financial and other intermediaries derived from third-party transactions.”

Broken, yes. But not by a monopolistic leader. Cheap glasses have always been around. The problem is people want to use their insurance provided by their employer. Most people use vision insurance to buy glasses. Vision insurance is what is broken (it's not actual "insurance" but more of a bad deal savings plan and should be dismantled). Vision insurance requires prices to be increased in order to discount under the plans for an illusion of price discounting. So if you have insurance, you'd probably pay a reasonable and similar price for similar quality to Warby Parker. If you don't have insurance, then you'd pay more.
Warby Parker worked in the DTC space because they received an inordinate amount of PR which drives down customer acquisition cost due to relatively cheap traffic. If that goes away, so does much of their business and any hope of profitability. Much like the rest of the brands mentioned.
Yep, this. The US public school system is in no way prepared for remote education, or any solution to supplement the impact we're facing.

What do you mean by "so many"? Singapore appears to be an amazing success story in containing C19.

They are using aggressive contact tracing as part of that, so if it were spreading like wildfire through A/C vents surely that wouldn't be effective and they would have a much faster growth rate of cases.
The whole idea of merit and meritocracy is that power and influence (and perhaps control, if applicable) should be allocated fairly and transparently, via processes that reliably correlate with good decision-making. Notably, a stridently authoritarian leadership style calling for bans on "evil" and "unethical" software use (as featured in the so-called "Ethical Software Definition") does not correlate with such; but to be fair, neither does the use of obnoxious name-calling like "toxic loony". To me, the latter just feels sad! So, I'd say I can see "both sides" in this, so to speak.
I think that there is a rough relation between the infection rate and the percent of the population that gets infected.

Consider raw r0 of 3.0. Each case infects three other people. But as more and more of the population gets infected and acquires immunity the infection rate drops. Say half the population is immune due to prior infection. The rate is now half r0 = 3.0 * 0.5 Left unchecked 66% of the population will get infected and then the disease dies out.

Social distancing, hand washing, quarantine reduces r0. And reduces the total number that the virus can infect before is dies out. Cut r0 from 3.0 to 1.5 and the number of infected goes from 66% to 33%.

In the US that would be 100 million people. And maybe a million fewer deaths.

Scuttlebutt is China and Taiwan due to high early compliance have r0 down to about 0.3, which means the epidemic is in a state of exponential crash.

About me: I am currently transitioning from a career as a Lawyer, but I do have a Bachelor's Degree in a quantitative field to back me up.

I have been coding off and on as a hobby for a few years and thought I'd make the jump. I have very strong knowledge of CS fundamentals, am pretty good at math and briefly attended an Ivy League University in the US.

I absolutely love Software Engineering, so I am willing to learn new technologies. In fact, I am looking for a company that supports and encourages learning.

I speak English, Portuguese, Spanish (a little rusty on the last one).

As I said, I am willing to put in the time to master any modern technology out there.
The biggest problem about cannabis re: covid19 is if you smoke it, it’s gonna impair the cilia which help clean out your lungs, also you’re putting your lips on some dirty piece (especially bad if shared between multiple people as one person being exposed equals everyone else sharing the piece gets exposed)

Definitely avoid combustion with shared bongs. If we might get sick with something that’s gonna impair our lungs, we ought to take action to increase lung function e.g. VO2Max (lactate threshold training / HIIT / Lung muscle exercises with incentive spirometers OR IMST devices) Not sure about the viral implications of systems biology of immune effects of cannabis, but it’s an interesting topic

That's nonsense. Businesses offering bad products go out of business. Can't say the same for state owned industries.

Um, what? I don't know where you're getting this from. The historical pattern I refer to, as I said, goes back centuries. And the subversion of academic institutions, for example in the US during the 1960s, had nothing to do with Jews.
That's not accurate. Most FAANG offices in EU are already in "recommended WFH" mode. If anything, US offices of those companies are currently not implementing "mandatory WFH".

Not really. The trend is to not owning cars if you’re a yuppie. People still need to get around in cars of some kind and Tesla is fairly well positioned for electric fleet sales of ride share or rental vehicles.

I don’t see a distinction. Both of them are making a “for the good of many over the good of one” decision.

The “death panels” rhetoric was just that. In practical terms, we already have death panels both within hospitals and within health insurance companies and neither is terribly transparent.

I don't know if it's just me, but I find most non Tesla electric cars to be incredibly ugly. If BMW made an electric 3 class sedan with > 350 miles of range for a reasonable price, I think that would be hugely successful. Instead they made the i3.

The VW ID.3 looks like it would have the same problem. I know this is very subjective, but why not make a car that looks more like their already successful models?
OP seemed to be doing no such thing. Period.

If anything they’re asking the opposite! “Should we even be limiting the optimizations at all”

They start with the question “are manufacturers are forced to remove specific optimizations” (which replying to with “going to be worse than 30%” doesn't meaningfully answe) and immediately counter it with the above question “why remove any optimizations” (which your reply also doesn’t answer at all)

Calling out your arm wavy non-statement isn’t pedantry, asking that a comment be more than doomsaying noise isn’t either. Sorry if you feel otherwise.

There is "no way to eat [while remaining quarantined]".

Dorms do not have private kitchens. They don't even have private sinks. I'm not familiar with MIT specifically, but the most you can usually hope for in the average American dorm room is a mini-fridge and a microwave. It would be incredibly difficult to expect a large number of people to live in those conditions for multiple weeks if quarantined.
why is it that everyone always releases the public from their half of the responsibility?

politicians are participating in game theory and acting out their best interests based on the other players. It takes two to tango.

I suppose this opens up a slippery slope whose neighbors are authoritarianism and will-less-ness and, in their innocence and ignorance, people cease to venture forth.
There are certainly restaurants nearby, but not sure I'd call them cheap. I imagine a lot of MIT students don't have the money to eat out every day. And since most dorms don't have any kind of kitchens or cooking implements, buying food from the grocery and cooking isn't really an option. Pre-made meals or other things from grocery stores that don't require cooking could work, but, again, I'd expect some/many students rely on their university meal plan for their food, and don't have much spare money to buy their own.

My understanding is that gas is quite expensive in many European countries compared to the US, so even if there are purchase incentives that expire, I think there is probably still strong economic pressure to buy electric.

Until someone else comes out with a strong electric vehicle offering, that means Tesla.

That's... not really breeding in the scientific sense. Yes, having two tall parents means you're likely to be tall (height is highly heritable), but actual breeding would involve statistical populations, because nearly all traits of interest are non-mendelian, and come from effects from a wide range of genes. And also, it seems probably that you would also have to select against negative traits (for example, breeding very tall people -> all sorts of disorders).
