That's a fair point and I will confess to not being up to speed on the machinations of the Reddit BoD.

I wish Alexis had been more clear about the issues in his statement.
No, the outlined scheme is actually correct. If there’s a call/response aspect, then the hashed nonce+password is not “the cleartext password”, it’s “the cleartext password for that particular challenge”, which makes it useless for other auth attempts, which would have different challenges.
>the group of angry young white men inhabiting r/the_donald not conservative voter

The degree to which casual anti-white racism has been normalized on reddit is abhorrent. Even moreso when these people claim to champion anti-racism.

Reddit can't die soon enough. It is a dangerous bastion of propaganda - the comments are designed to look authentic but none of the discourse is truly organic because of a combination of keyword shadowbanning, echo-chamber reinforcing voting algorithms, and heavy handed moderation by full on activists. Millions of people believe they are viewing authentic conversation and while they have their guard down the admin effectively define acceptable viewpoints for entire subs.
How feasible is that, though - to just up and buy one and set it up yourself? I'm honestly asking, not criticizing.
The alternative is to have policing focus on community service. One aspect of the role is to uphold the law, but the US takes this to a whole new level.

Here are some things that the US does that could be changed and, to an outsider in a different country, seem utterly absurd:

1. Refer to the police as 'LEO' or 'law enforcement officers', thus establishing their primary duty to 'the law' and not 'the community they're supposed to serve'

2. Protection of police from most if not all consequences of gross misconduct

3. Silly good guys vs. bad guys dichotomy where it's all to obvious that bad guys is a synonym for 'black person'

4. Dehumanising labels: referring to groups of people as 'blacks', 'whites', 'innocents', 'hispanics', etc. (this is as jarring to me as saying 'females' instead of women). Really instils an 'us v them' mentality.

5. Perpetual war mentality: war on drugs, war on this, war on that.

6. Excessive militarisation: cops with guns is one thing, cops driving tanks and armoured vehicles is another

7. Escalation to ridiculous extremes by default: in what world does a police force start a gunfight using other drivers' cars for cover, or driving a tank through a house to catch a shoplifter?

8. Constant media glorification of police brutality and breaking the rules to catch the criminal - as long as you catch the bad guy it doesn't matter

9. Private prisons and convicting people for profit

10. Things like no-knock warrants and excessive use of SWAT teams, civil asset forfeiture, etc.

11. Failure to meet basic human rights even in overnight jail

The list honestly goes on and if this is what you require to feel safe, then this safety is coming at the expense of many of your fellow Americans, most of whom pay with their lives: black people, poor people. Many countries in the world thrive without hiring a gang of armed thugs to defend their laws and treat the country as a self-contained penal colony. We have several Nordic countries in Europe that go even further to treat people who break the law as valid human beings.

Ok and good cops don't require credit for meeting the minimum expectation of a good police officer, and for as long as they don't blow the whistle they are still complicit. My own thinking is that this goes back to the US' attitude to slavery in its formative years and what you see is a deep-seated desire to use forms of slavery as a means to fulfil your own American dream. Much easier to do when your police service is an oppressive force.
only if all actors are good.

clearly a lot of people have already been burned by bad purchases, otherwise this law wouldn't exist. laws like this are generally made in response to existing problems, not in speculation of potential problems.

the issue with your claim is that it is less likely that bad actors give a money back guarantee. and those are the ones why such a law is needed. or from the other side: those businesses that do offer s money back guarantee are more likely those that do not need it. it's for the other ones that this law was made.

How do you achieve this technically? Monorepo would be a pain to break.

Or just break up Google into two but let both of them keep the access to the same repo? Then what would this achieve?
In my view, the dominant perspective currently is (b) and (c).
Any statistic is true of a small subset of the population. To use your example of black people:

Killed in 2018: Black or African American 2,925

Police killed 1,098 people in 2019. (I can't find exact numbers by race)

Again, I'm not arguing that there isn't police bias against minorities, that they aren't disportionally affected, or anything like this. But the facts simply show that the police kill less people than other people do, so it seems like a stretch to say they're more of a threat.

In regards to the other point: that may be the case, but that isn't what "abolish" and "dismantle" mean. I still don't see how you avoid some amount of armed protective personnel (to deal with shootings or robberies) which are basically police.
> Tearing down a house and building a car with the materials doesn't make a new house.

Quite, you are accurately highlighting some of the differences between the various abolish/reform positions. I don't sense you challenging the supposition that simply lumping the abolish/reform groups into the same category is absurd given the above, so I'm not sure the purpose of your comment.
100K in Iowa does seem like a great deal of money. One metric I would be interested in is what fraction of income would go to rent.
The user doesn't care whether the bug is in the requirements or if it's in the code. They just know that it's not working for them, and want it changed.

Arguing that it's not a bug seems like saying 'not my problem' to everyone else. I expect different companies have different cultures around assigning blame that might make saying 'not my fault' important, but I'm pretty sure that customers/users don't care one bit about that.
If this works out like it did for the breakup of Standard Oil you will be very wealthy.

Also, observation is that inflation has been ongoing for a long time, we don't seem to have spikes of growth. Afaik we have basically 2 phases one where inflation dominates and the one prior.

> anyone browsing /r/all would see their posts all day long

I feel like that's only right and correct; in a sufficiently-large community (i.e. a society), anyone intentionally exposing themselves to "everything" should be prepared to view the worst of the worst (of the worst) of "everything." That's what "everything" means!

Honestly, I don't get why /r/all even exists, if it's not there for the people who want to voluntarily immerse themselves in a soul-destroying experience. It's a Total Perspective Vortex. (It thus perplexes me why Reddit—a corporation with PR concerns—would keep it around. It's not something a corporation would want to provide, even if it's something some strange people would like to consume.)

Imagine for a moment what the /r/all equivalent for Usenet would be like. Or the /r/all equivalent for "phpBB forums." Or /r/all for Wordpress blogs. Kind of ridiculous to even want that, no? It'd have no purpose other than instilling existential terror.
The logic is that you don't have to do business with organizations you don't like (outside of some very specific situations).

If you think police need reform and cause harm, then ethically you get to decide for yourself if you're ok with exchanging services with them despite the issues.
Schenck was WWI (1919) and concerned anti-draft literature distribution. You've got the wrong case.

I agree, and I think in practice the brain's noise floor is also much higher than the theoretical thermal-noise minimum. But I guess the main point is that once we acknowledge that even 32 bits is more than enough, the difference between an analog and digital machine loses a lot of its philosophical weight.
Sort of ironic that the Windows 95 aesthetic is simultaneously both comforting and familiar (vaporwave), and full of dread and ennui (Dilbert, Office Space).
I use it with a T6s, along with CamTwist. It looks like it's bad latency and resolution initially but but you have to open the Preferences in CamTwist and increase FPS to 30 and size to 1920x1080.
The more and more I hear people debating what to do with the overt hate speak on the internet the more I think that having it out in the open (and the harm that follows for the groups that the hate is directed towards) allows the rest of us in the system to offer correction and rebuttal that if censored or deplatformed one is unable to do. I can't say it as clearly as Ben Thompson did on his take on what Facebook did in regards to Trump's subversive tweets.
It's horrifying how fast the transition is between too young and too old. :(

not sure if serious or trolling but this sounds like trolling. the reason we use threads is that they are a higher level abstraction that helps us keep the cognitive load down and focused on the layer we care about.
So it's like monetizing a blog is a hard task?
Imagine a handcuffed, nondangerous, nonviolent person is literally murdered by strangulation by a cop, and three cops stand right there watching and do nothing and don't even appear to be fazed by what's going on.

If I was the cop watching, I would kick that asshole in the face and try to stop him. I'm sure if you asked 99% of normal people they would agree. But three cops literally watched and did nothing.

Many cops do not partake in evil, but almost every single American cop has no issue with letting the bad cops be evil. And that makes them evil too.

And these aren't a few occurrences; they have been happening frequently for decades. We only see them more often because of smartphones and people only got so mad about this occurrence because Coronavirus means everyone has too much spare time.
Not speaking for the US. In my country, police is heavily stressed, corrupt and understaffed which often makes them ineffective in many scenarios. If everyone (from the lowest ranked to the highest) in the department uses a tool like Slack then a lot of things will improve. At present, lowest ranked cops are not even tech literate and they can't reach to those high ranked officers due to a hierarchy.
>I'm sick of social media platforms deciding for us what views are acceptable and what aren't.

i couldn't agree more. i never commented/subbed to the_donald. i added to my /r/all filter and i don't have to see it anymore.

btw, i do that to 99% of all political subs -- i just filter them, and now i don't have to interact. now, do i want them banned? nah, no way -- everyone deserves a place to discuss whatever they want, be it extreme left or extreme right politics. hell, i even disagree with chapo trap house being quarantined! no community should be "quarantined".
Haha, sorry, just had to.

Actually, I totally agree with you. To Photoshop can't be that much misunderstood, but I think a lot of us read the heading as it used zoom in it's original meaning.
Yes, I'm sure it's not as good as having a proper sleep study but if the end result is that more people who need them get them it would be a positive outcome.

Also, a doctor can show you how to use one, you would not necessarily be completely on your own.

Sleep studies are just such a hassle (and expensive, depending on where you live), and if you have a weird sleep schedule it can be difficult to even fall asleep in time.

Being able to just rent a CPAP machine for a couple of days and have a doctor show you how to use it would be a good option to have.
Oleoresin capsicum (OC) can cause a hydraulic needle effect if sprayed from too close. The velocity of the stream allows it to penetrate the eye tissue. A trained user would know the range in which it is dangerous (usually about 3 ft but depending on manufacturer, type, etc). So the police officer in question could have felt especially threatened and used it in a manner that he/she knew would be damaging or, more likely, it was an excessive use of force.

However, the amount of damage you describe sounds rather exaggerated. Maybe you mean "disintegrated" corneas, not the whole eyeball?
> Remote working is something that I really desire, because I like nature, doing crafts with wood, you know, some place to get energies back. But I have a intense fear for risking my family safety by doing that.

I live in Argentina working remotely for over 10 years now. I moved from a medium city (1.5 M people) to nowhere in the mountains, and can't be happier. Right now kids are playing on the street, I'm working outdoors... will never go back to a city.

It sounds to me like what he's saying it that its a waste of time (and often counterproductive) to try to silence voices that you disagree with. They aren't simply going to vanish because you've silenced them on your platform.

There's a very good chance many of the stores destroyed by looting/burning in these poorer neighborhoods won't be reopening.

Perfect opportunity for the large chains to close up some of these locations that had to be marginally (if at all) profitable.
I mean, media sensationalism aside, honest question from outside the US: they had decades to change something and just about nothing happened, is a nuanced conversation about this realistic?

Plus, if they wanted a nuanced conversation it would help if they didn't shoot at and abuse media representatives. One journo I follow tracks unprovoked attacks on clearly identifiable journalists, days ago when that was at about 5 incidents I might have understood the call for nuance but it's now at over 200.

Some of those are white, if that helps the odd call for nuance and both are shown in the media I tend to consume. I don't feel distribution of fatalities is a great argument. The absolute number of officer involved shootings in the US is just ridiculous for a first world country, supporting those currently visibly affected shouldn't be too hard then, it would help others as well.
parquet has a very narrow use case. it's great for internal operations but interoperability is limited unless both sides use one of the same handful of tools. csv is supported by literally every tool ever designed to work with data.
I don't really see how removing the subreddit would make them any less likely to gas protestors though.

That documentation does not explain what prompted the creation of another tool when leiningen was already (and still is to a large extent) the de-facto deps/build tool.
I took a course taught by a former Microsoft exec who worked at the company before and after the DOJ's anti-trust settlement. He said the settlement profoundly changed the internal culture of competitiveness and innovation. Lawyers were embedded on many product teams, review cycles became slower, and execs became complacent. I think the only way Amazon or Google ever start to stagnate is if a similar fate befalls them.
I went through it, really enjoyed it. But I had experience in the same subject matter before taking it. If you have some ML experience, I would recommend diving straight in for a good breadth-first look at deep learning topics. If you don't have any ML experience or don't really know the concepts, I would recommend taking their other course first (Intro to AI, or AI for Everyone, or w/e -- which I skimmed to see if it was something I should recommend to others, and I liked it).

One piece of advice (more like a suggestion) that I can give, after working in the industry for so many years - nobody cares about your career. I've worked in 10+ places, all they cared about was getting max work done from me. I've rarely had a conversation with my bosses about my career, my preferences etc (though most of my managers have been good to work with).

I don't blame my managers/bosses - they are busy figuring out their own careers, they just don't have the interest or time to help someone, unless it directly and immediately benefits their own case.

I've seen this repeatedly - people advance their careers by doing one of the two : first, they are loud and persistent in asking for more money, better position etc and highlighting their work. Second, they jump jobs every 3 or so years, getting better pay and title every time.

You might be the best at what you do, but nobody will care unless you make them care.

I wish someone had told my younger self about this.

IIRC you're legally limited in what you can recover from an alleged infringer if you haven't registered the work in question with the US copyright office. If MS had destroyed all source code for Windows 3.0, then presumably they never registered the work (and if they had, why bother destroying it?). I agree that an infringer would likely not get away with it scot-free, but MS also wouldn't be able to collect statutory damages or attorney fees.
Anyone can dress hipster (some more convincingly than others), but not everyone can grow a beard.
This is what I miss from the old Slashdot. There you didn't just up- or down-vote comments. You specified if it was "funny" or "insightful" or "redundant" etc. [0]

I could then filter comments by what I was looking for. Between that and the meta-moderation, they did a great job.

I would love to see something similar on reddit. Instead of mindless updoots. Or maybe let me filter out comments that aren't at least n characters long?

(Or, maybe train a classifier to detect puns and hide them :)

This is close to how I worked for years (mine: build a dependency graph and then order by dependency, work through a graph at a time). It caused a ton of friction with my work environment which was managers prioritizing bugs and then expecting you to work on them in priority order which, often, was nonsensical.

The premise of The Selfish Gene (Dawkins) is that the unit of evolution isn't the individual but the gene. Individuals need not be selfish, their genes are, and genes compete with each other.

It's then easy to justify altruistic behavior when the best interests of an individual isn't up for considerations but the best interests of a gene. Selfishness isn't competing against yourself.

Use this drive to work with the evolutionary dynamics of populations in a "cheating" vs. "cooperating" and you get an arms race of cheaters vs cooperators which tends around some equilibrium which, going back to selfish genes, tends to balance the costs and rewards of selfishness which in lots of different creatures tends towards cooperation between individuals quite a lot.

Yeah but MBO isn't an MBA thing. It's a bunch of long-held, common-sense ideas that had been proven to work in some settings and got some branding and codification wrapped around it to sell books. If you asked someone who had a lot of work experience without an MBA to come up with some type of organizational strategy, many would come up with MBO without the naming.

It's not very different from Agile or Scrum. They've been proven to work in some settings, and when they fail in a mismatched setting, the entire methodology will get a bad rap, along with the people who promoted them.
