The threads comments are made up of users in popularity of biggest political subs in order.

/r/Politics, r/ChapoTrapHouse, r/TopMindsofReddit, last are a few of /r/The_Donald. The first 3 would love all conservatives gone. ChapoTrapHouse embraces communism and doesn't care either left or right (Except Sanders). TopMinds is sub dedicated to attacking conservatives.

And why is Steve calling out Conservatives aka, r/The_Donald. He considers all conservatives hateful now just for looking at problems differently? Wow, rude.

Lets look at how stupid this Hate argument is for different political views. All Live Matters vs Black Lives Matter, Its a right vs left argument. The right thinks All Lives isn't racist, because it includes every race. Black Lives Matter thinks Black lives are being targeted more, and needs dedicated attention. Both sides are for the same issue, stop police abuses, but Reddit Admins think the right are hate filled because they look at the problem differently than the left.

BLM is now throwing Antifa towards the cops, Antifa is actually causing violence. Antifa hangs out in ChapoTrapHouse, and CTH has been called out and punished by reddit admins a few times, but CTH is still allowed, The_Donald isn't. Topminds actively brigades and attacks conservative subs, and the Reddit Admins ignore it.

If you Want to stop hate, first realize most people on the right and left want mostly the same things, (excluding the far left and far right). Concentrate on the issues, not the people. Almost all the hate on Reddit is either towards groups of people on the forums of the opposite part they dont like. You know who you can hate on reddit and not get banned? White men, White women (Karens) and Christians. /r/All routinely has comedy, art, memes that are targeting conservatives, /r/News and /r/Politics has been banning conservatives for even participating.

Lets not pretend that Reddit cares about Hate, Steve allows hate, as long as its towards conservatives...
It feels like being part of a village that learns to love the dragon it battles.
I installed crystal almost instantly with ASDF. Just:

asdf plugin-add crystal https://github.com/asdf-community/asdf-crystal.git
asdf global crystal 0.34.0

It was painless. Other languages I've installed with ASDF must have had the same dependencies.
Which, among other things, is the basis of Marx’s approach to history. So much of modernity is Hegelian in nature.

Experience with Scaler Academy: Review for Freshers
From the first image of “doubt” to now taking the mission of “GivingBack” ahead in full spirit, The journey of Scaler Kumar Saurav has been anything, but Ordinary.
Ironically this thread - and the OP - is a superb example of why everyone should study narrative techniques so they can understand the kinds of categories that common arguments and positions fall into.

You can learn a huge amount from ad hoc observational models of behaviour that aren't based on equations or statistics. You can even use them to make accurate predictions.

I used to know a manager who had an outstanding intuitive understanding of organisational and personal psychology. He probably couldn't have formalised his knowledge, but he had a real talent for getting shit done with individuals and groups, and for knowing exactly the right moment to apply leverage in a negotiation - all without bullying, shouting, or underhanded manipulation.

He simply knew exactly what people would do in one set of circumstances, and how to change their preferences by presenting them with alternative circumstances.

This isn't "science" in a formal sense, but it's certainly a very real form of knowledge. It seems to me STEM types tend not to understand how valuable and effective it can be, and how important it is to have some of this skill if you want to change what people do.

"It's a purely mechanical process" - I thought on this for a while. I think if your testing is purely mechanical then you're probably not getting much value from it. Good tests need to be "smarter" than the code they are testing in a way.

Unit testing, for coverage (as a vanity metric) can be mechanical maybe, but integration tests are the way more valuable ones (for the most part) and way more complex.
Typical human cultural prejudice!

In fish culture “down” is of course the direction in which one falls, and this is correctly depicted in the image.

It’s a common confusion, as Down vs Up is more nuanced in Fish culture. Fish technology is extremely under developed: imagine inventing the screwdriver, having it slip through your fins, and it immediately floating “up” into oblivion.

Debate is still ongoing as to if this is why fish do not use screws, or if it’s the other way around — if lack of screws was the reason they never invented screwdrivers.
You make it sound as if they were intentionally only hiring white guys before -factoring skin colour in any way in their hiring process. Are there reasons to think that was the case?

Because if not, even if there was a statistical imbalance in the hires according to skin colour -or any other property that should be irrelevant, gender, sexual orientation etc-, do you think companies should go out of their way to try and compensate for that imbalance instead of only factoring in properties relevant to the job?
Both C++ and Rust have nice abstractions. Since you asked for an example of a C++ one, consider a bignum library.

In C++ you can write a natural-feeling library that provides familiar arithmetic. In Rust, you will be constantly smacked in the face with lifetimes, borrowing, etc. because there's no way to do implicit clones or borrows.

Yes, that’s correct; meaning if you go to your profile, click “show dead” then click “comments” on the main navigation, then keep scrolling down, clicking more until you find a comment marked [DEAD] but not also [FLAGGED] — then click the users profile, then comments, then click through there comments; some will not be [DEAD] because a user had “show dead” on and unghosted the comment if they had enough rep.
Another good idea if you snore, is to literally tape your mouth closed at night. This feels super weird at first but it seems to have many positive effects for some people.

I was a HUGE snorer and rarely felt fully rested from 8 hours of sleep, woke up sore etc. Now my quality and quantity of sleep is totally different, it's really amazing.

It might not solve everyone's problems, especially if you have something really badly wrong, but it's a near-free, easy intervention and it probably won't hurt you to try it for a few nights. They make fancy tape, purpose-built for this, such as [0], but you could probably also use scotch tape or masking tape or whatever you have.

Also interestingly, after 2 weeks of taping, I developed the habit of sleeping with closed mouth even without the tape, so arguably this has cured my snoring permanently. This is the closest thing to "one weird trick" which I've ever seen in real life.

or Ruby, or Haskell, or elixir... Rust so happens to appeal the front-end crowd as much as the backend people and they are leveraging those windows of opportunity much better than any other language or community. Wasm bindgen is a bliss of fresh air, it even works very well with TypeScript.
Putting people that don't have an intimate understanding of the problem sounds like a great recipe for success.

Sure, a plumber might have the solution to the halting problem, but I'd trust someone who's spent a good deal of their life interacting with the problem instead
Your original point was:

> From what we know, 90% of the population already could already have it.

Well, no, from what we know, 5% of the population in Spain - one of the hardest-hit countries in the world, I might add - had it.

Whether the seroprevalence is up to 15% in some areas is of no consequence to your original point.
> What about this:

What? 1 in 5 in a city is quite far from 90%, isn't it?

If you spew the "90% might have it" bullshit claim when you were fully aware that at best you know of a city which might have 20% then it looks like you are intentionally and knowingly spreading lies and false information. Don't do that.

> Also, you picked 5%, but in your article they also say it's almost 15% in some areas. You're not spreading lies now, right?

We were making global claims about how 90% might already contracted covid19. I presented a country-wide study, which as of today is the best and most extensive one done at a country-level.

The study points out a 5% infection rate in one of the countries which so far has been hit the hardest.

Do you have a problem with that study?

Moreover, the hotspot you cherry-picked refer to specific cities and municipalities. Soria, For example, barely has a population of 90k. Madrid comes second with 11%, which is 6% higher than the national average and still lower than 90%.

So even your cherry picking doesn't deflect the fact that your claim that 90% might have it is clearly bullshit and that you are knowingly and intentionally lying and spreading false information.
I am also an amateur in these things. If indexing is O(N), does that mean it has the same performance as a linked list? Basically that would mean you have to go through each and every item until you reach the index you want.

Does homomorphic encryption allow running operations blindly on an encrypted dataset and return encrypted results without ever decrypting the dataset?
Why are you mis-representing what the NYT did? Are you just hoping people don't read your citations. From your citation

> For example, the published piece presents as facts assertions about the role of “cadres of left-wing radicals like antifa”; in fact, those allegations have not been substantiated and have been widely questioned. Editors should have sought further corroboration of those assertions, or removed them from the piece. The assertion that police officers “bore the brunt” of the violence is an overstatement that should have been challenged. The essay also includes a reference to a “constitutional duty” that was intended as a paraphrase; it should not have been rendered as a quotation.

The NYT didn't apologize for publishing an Op-Ed from a Senator. It apologized for doing it's job badly and publishing materially false statements as fact.

It's worth noting that Senator Cotton went on to publicly call for the extra judicial killing of protestors. Which, if we're really so concerned about legitimate opinions, I would suggest murdering protestors would have more of a chilling effect than choosing not to publish their op-eds.
iPhones have seen a major fall in theft once Apple started locking and disabling stolen devices. That's a major benefit for users.
"Here are some things you can do to proactively manage your mental health, rather than ignoring it until you have a crisis" is in no way putting 100% of the responsibility on the individual.

The problem is that the implication of articles like this one is that if you don't do those things any resulting mental health problems are your own fault. It reinforces the awful reasoning stupid people use like "Oh, you didn't exercise or get good sleep? No wonder you're depressed then! It's your own fault."
How far does one have to go "out of their way" and who is to judge if one has gone enough? By this logic, racism is fully the responsibility of the employer. Are all employers responsible, then, for homelessness, drug addiction, cancer and all other issues of our society, and should go "out of their way" every day to address them? If not, then who is to judge who should go out of their way and when? If employers are responsible then employers should attempt to resolve all the problems of our society, all the time, which is, a priori, impossible. Hence, I don't think your argument is correct or constructive.

E.g. in Baltimore, we saw the homocide rate spiking as of Freddie Gray protests.

https://epidemiological.net/2017/11/16/a-quick-geographical-...

https://www.copinthehood.com/2017/09/the-freddie-gray-effect...

A particularly good visualization of Baltimore's murder rate is here:

http://mistybeach.com/mark/BaltimoreHomicides.html

Baltimore's homocide clearance rate also dropped from 40% to some percentage in the 20's because the breakdown in police/community relations made people stopped snitching.

There's a similar spike in St. Louis, timed to the Michael Brown killing.

The national murder rate spiked 25% in the last two years of Obama's presidency, after decades of decline. There isn't any alternative explanation.

However keep in mind that there's just 8.5 mil people in Switzerland. That's around the same as New York City and 2/3 of the size of Moscow.
There are others factors... obesity has been mentioned many times and might be part of the answer to your question, so I looked at the Wikipedia link posted and see that Switzerland has Europe's lowest obesity rate. The UK, OTOH: "Obesity in the United Kingdom is a significant contemporary health concern, with authorities stating that it is one of the leading preventable causes of death."

How does Google force anyone to use Golang?

If you are a platform vendor like Apple or Microsoft you can be dictatorial and only support your language of choice; In fact Apple's infamous "section 3.3.1" was going to limit iPhone apps to only use approved languages.

But I don't see how Google uses their ecosystem to push Golang. Sure, they use their resources to develop the language and people probably feel better adopting a new language that comes from an established tech company with a lot of resources than one that is purely unfunded open source.

Introduction to Elena Programming Language
I really really implore you to read up on this stuff more. It's clear that you haven't approached the subject of racism with humility, humbleness, or even the possibility that you aren't the best person to know about the issues that other people face.

You are right in a way, I am discounting a person who hasn't felt the effects of racism to fully understand racism and give a good opinion on it. Which seems like a pretty good benchmark? I think your response to this enforces that those who haven't felt it aren't good judges of it.

I think one difference might be that, before now, self-immolation wouldn't have earned any positive attention in the US, while it might have more cultural significance as protest elsewhere. There might have been people in the US who would have self-immolated if they thought it would make a difference.

Is your chat text only? I think for media WebRTC is going to always win in the browser (unless you have the developers who can implement custom congestion control etc..)

For text only I still see a couple advantages

* E2E Security. With WebRTC I don't have to worry about snooping. Why should I upload my messages to a server?

* Scaling/Bandwidth/Ops Burden. Massively reduced if all my clients are directly connected to each other

* Ajax (TCP) can't do as much. DataChannels give me lossy/out-of-order messaging. Not useful for chat, but really great if building anything gaming/real-time
If you go out to search someone who can make better decisions about how to fight racism, you will have higher chances of finding that person in a black community, and that is true and okay.

But if you say part of the requirement is to be black, then that is racism.

Making a decision basing on a race. Automatically disqualifying people from other races is racism.
And yet, twitter seems to be doing just fine. I don't see a reason why this website would be worse

Yep, that HBD-loving subreddit was actually called /r/coontown and was actually worse than you might guess, if possible.

Other commenters in this thread seem to miss it. Says more about them than about reddit, which is much better than it used to be. If anyone misses the coontown crowd they can easily catch up with them at "free speech" havens like voat and gab, which are both worse than most people would guess.
German court ruling could tear EU apart, warns senior judge

for anyone not following Rust, the drama around the (popular) Actix web framework was a prominent instance of this. iirc people opened issues and PRs re: the project's (significant) usage of `unsafe`, but the maintainer (Nikolay Kim) wasn't receptive; then some folks got nasty about it on reddit, escalating into full-blown drama. sadly, it ended with Kim posting he's "done with open source" and quitting the project.

I don't think that "marketing" is the right word for a FOSS project that is not affiliated with any for-profit entity and has no business strategy. Rust is truly loved by many who had the chance to work with it and that's why it's honestly promoted more than any other modern language.
I don't get this comment, rust is a new language that isn't widely embraced by employers yet.

How would rust have a significant number of users forced to use it?
The point is that the rate of complaints grows when a language becomes more popular. As long as only enthusiasts and hobbyists use a language, you get relatively few complaints, because these are people who actively chose to use the language. When a language become more popular, more people will be forced to use it, more mediocre people will use it, and its shortcomings will become more apparent on larger-scale projects.
