There’s no such thing as anti-white racism. Racism is prejudice or discrimination backed by institutional, structural power.

Therefore, a black person prejudiced against white people (as an example) is meaningless because black Americans have historically had very little power in the United States.

Racism by white americans has historically been backed up by the power of every institution in the United States, which often has meant state-sponsored violence against people of color.

Because we consider caffeine addiction (and substance dependency in general) to be a negative thing.
I was infact mostly going by the premises you established. By selectively feeding you information, and optimizing over information you want to see, coupled with the inherent human bias of deriving enjoyment from getting your views repeated, I don't think there is any other conclusion we can lead to apart from silos. Which has happened and I don't see it stopping. You can't just insert nuance by claiming it, if you intend to, present the nuance.
I really hate how this is being dragged out in month sized increments. My partner and I went to Austin for a month and a half and now are back in the Bay Area to hear the next decision on her office reopening. 2021 is 6 months away. That's not enough to move somewhere else that would make the pain of moving worth it.
Same thing has happened to me more times than I can easily remember! My take on this has evolved to be "If I can steal your idea/product/scheme as a result of a 60 minute conversation about it then you most likely have a terrible idea". Once a month some idiot comes to tell me about their Great Idea For An App (that I can build for them in exchange for EQUITY!!) and I honestly don't even listen to them anymore.
There is an alternative to the group think/hive mind called https://gab.com/ but it’s also a cesspool or horrible people sharing horrible ideas.

Not sure what makes sense.
That case was decided after the initial release of the Game Boy, so it wasn't an unreasonable thing to try at the time.
And that's why they won't make any more... they're held to a much higher standard than other genres of games. People nitpick these games to death, meanwhile CoD is played by tens of millions every year. If you're a game dev, you'd be mad to try and do another immersive sim.
Yes. However I don't know if that is different. That is a roaring fire, whereas the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Bomba was a 58 megaton event which would have created a pulse. Electronic devices can sit in the sunshine all day, exposed to the roaring fire of the sun but a singular EMP can take them out? When you look for things, you look for what is different to its surroundings. Even when our own people are looking for planets around other stars, they are looking for an incredibly small change. They found something nearly 30,000 light years away like that.
While there is no argument that lectures can be done online. There is so much more than lectures at campus.

One thing that isn't mentioned is Labs.

People aren't going to be doing organic chemistry in their bathroom, nor are they going to be firing clay pots in their ovens.

I know I wouldn't have had access to all of these things from home.
If the only reason people collect all of that information about me is that it's cheap to do so, would making it a bit more expensive lead to nobody bothering to collect all my information? That sounds like a win as well.
The simplest: shared `/etc/hosts`. And container hint: you can bind mount individual files as volumes.
Well, no. As much as I liked SGML back in the days for human-readability, having an SGML/XML/etc. parser is not the problem. The problem is understanding what the document is.

Today, much of the web consists of an empty DIV, populated with JavaScript from JSON objects. I can't do anything with that.

One step down, I have a structured, semantic document, but the semantics are defined as `class` elements. I can do more with that, but not a lot.

With HTML2.0, I couldn't keep much on the web, but it was semantic. I knew what body text was, what a header was, etc. Semantics are defined in the DTD, which is super-nice.

HTML5 points a path forward, with elements like `article` and what-not, but it's still got a ways to go before I can understand the content of a page in the way I could with HTML2.0.

There's a deep anti-pattern in there, wrapping things in wrappers, but that's a longer story.
That's not the subtext, that's exactly the point. I don't agree with it, but it's not a hidden message.
Can't happen soon enough. The days where forums were the defacto place for discussion were just better. The communities would self-police and alternative opinions weren't suppressed nearly as easily. Reddit is a meme slideshow, not a place for discussion.
Monitoring how your platform behaves/perform is a cost-center? I think it's a quite important feature in every tech company and depending on the size of the company it may be better to outsource it or do it internally.
It's kind of interesting that in terms of perf/watt, it's actually slightly less efficient than Summit, which is over 2 years old. Also interesting that they went with a homogenous design (all Arm cores) instead of a heterogenous CPU+GPU setup.
EBPF Is Turing Complete
Note the connection may have gotten them in the door initially, but their further contracts could have resulted from the fact that they were the only vendor that could respond to an RFP with proof of a similar prior project. Then they get two fusion centers, then three, then it's like buying IBM/Cisco for the LE leadership that doesn't really understand IT and just wants it all to work.

This kind of vendor lock-out is unfortunate as it effectively keeps startups out of the picture. The majority of contracts I've worked on in this space (barring defense, and that's because we worked in R&D) required similar attestations of experience.
Juice is considered unhealthy, so there will almost certainly be a huge backslash if sugar taxes are slapped on it.

Also it seems a little more complicated than gp pointed out: natural sugar in fruit doesn't (as far as I remember) have the same impact that the sugar in juice made by the same fruit would have. Something about the sugar being digested slower because it is bound in the fibers that are destroyed when the fruit is made into sugar.

Full message:

> I’d like to share an update about our thinking around quarantined communities.

> When we expanded our quarantine policy, we created an appeals process for sanctioned communities. One of the goals was to “force subscribers to reconsider their behavior and incentivize moderators to make changes.” While the policy attempted to hold moderators more accountable for enforcing healthier rules and norms, it didn’t address the role that each member plays in the health of their community.

> Today, we’re making an update to address this gap: Users who consistently upvote policy-breaking content within quarantined communities will receive automated warnings, followed by further consequences like a temporary or permanent suspension. We hope this will encourage healthier behavior across these communities.

This seems strange to me. If this content is violating reddit's policies then why don't they ban them? It seems awkward to have this middle ground of "semi-banned" content where users get suspensions if they interact with it too much. Why create these invisible land-mines for users? I imagine it's because banning this content outright would make Reddit admins appear even more biased, or because the content doesn't actually violate any policies but puts off advertisers.
100% of all enforced laws are BACKED by the THREAT of guns drawn. That doesn't mean it gets there most of the time, but the THREAT is what backs all laws and the reason why people give in most of the time.

ALL laws are ultimately backed by the threat of death because ultimately if you don't comply and refuse to ever comply and work your way up the violence ladder, it all ends in death.

It amazes me that people don't understand this (though given the current state of education I shouldn't be surprised.)

I laugh at the authoritative far left/right who want to disband the police. Who would oppress the population with their policies if there were no police?
This is probably not the norm. I have a friend that works in a call center, and they've been working remotely during the pandemic. Her company won't pay for anything; she uses her personal laptop, personal consumer-grade Internet connection, etc. The consumer ISP doesn't provide their stated upload and download ever, and the ISP charged her $100 to come out and investigate the issue without fixing it. (You run a speedtest to their speedtest node, and it doesn't live up to what is advertised. How can the ISP turn around and charge the customer for telling them that!?) The company won't pay for the debugging. When the Internet dies, she's told "welp, you're done for today" and doesn't get paid. (She also works 4 days x 10 hours, so one bad day costs more than the average 5 x 8 employee.)

It is kind of a nightmare making every employee responsible for being the IT director for free. I imagine that most companies are not going to see good results here. (It's good when it's good, but what do you do when it gets bad? Nobody has a plan.)

All in all, consumer ISPs seem to be doing pretty good with the pandemic, but I worry that it's mostly a string of good luck rather than solid infrastructure investments.

You generally need an Ethernet based VPN which you can do with openvpn.

Otherwise Avahi has a mode to allow reflecting (mdns traffic between two interfaces) on point to point interfaces and if you run that on the VPN server it may let mdns work from your vpn client to the local lan of the server. Will depend if your mdns implementation tries to query on the VPN interface though. Which again for avahi you can enable point to point on the client side. Unsure if you can do that on windows/Mac.
Your discourse seems a bit like "hate speech" and you implying that:

"That is definitely a way to get only the things the Reddit admins want upvoted,"

Feels like a bigoted conspiracy theory.
Reddit admins are not a cohesive group of people and this blanket statement hurts.

If you're not a public company then in many/most jurisdictions it's up to the owners/investors to decide whether or not to have audited financials. If they are a 100% legit and have assets to back their tether there really isn't much of a reason not to have that audited and published on a website. For example bullionvault.com publish an audit of physical metal reserves daily.
my friend got a kidney transplant because they found a donor off facebook. Random stranger saw his plea and decided to help. Put a value on that
I think it's more complicated than that. It's not clear that users do intrinsically own this data. Without the product and the graph attached to the product, this data won't exist.
The focus on defunding is also supposed to be about diverting funds and refunding institutions that can help ppeople. Very few conflicts and problems require a gun.
Right, it’s convenient, but Port Authority competes closely with Penn Station and Times Square for “most loathed place in New York”.

Compare with Google office in Chelsea or FB office in the East Village (ish). Those are pretty nice places to walk around.
Corporations aren't people for the purposes of discrimination.
Well for one it makes every user individually responsible for identifying content that breaks the rules, and this is very hard given Reddit's history of arbitrarily enforcing the rules.
>In other words, if we wanted a sugary drink tax to counteract the impact of corn subsidies in the US, [...]

But that's not the point of a soda tax: it's to shape consumer behavior and cause them to prefer smaller portion sizes if they don't simply switch off sugary drinks altogether. That's why the taxes are 1-2 cents per ounce on sugary drinks.

Philadelphia saw a 38% reduction in sales of sugary drinks after a 1.5 per ounce tax was added. [1]

Beverage sales inside Philadelphia’s city limits dropped by 51% but were partially offset by an increase in sales just outside the city, resulting in a net decrease in soda sales of 38% in the area, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania found.

Some contemporary evidence would make this argument stronger. (I say contemporary because I guess we all understand what Hitler did.)

My feeling is that a "platform" on Twitter where you abuse and troll people is very different from a platform where you have to step up in public, make a speech, have people challenge your points and so on.
I'm pretty sure this is more feature rich than dnsmasq, but the golang ipkg on the latest OpenWRT release is 99MB. My overlay filesystem started at less than 24MB.
This software not for users like us.
Perhaps someone will implement equivalent functionality using C or Python libraries for those of us that run by choice in a resource-constrained or embedded environment.
Seems a little extreme, but the overall logic seems sound from a moderation perspective. If you have users that consistently upvote content that violates the TOS inside of quarantined subreddits its probably a sign that they're a trouble-maker with respect to the site guidelines.

Why? If they have no sugar in them, why should they be treated the same?
My impression is that at a Public Health level most forms of medicine don't make much of an impression.

Antibiotics would probably be an exception. Vaccinations if you choose to call them medicine.

At the population level though most of the things that affect health and life expectancy are life style choices of one type or the other that Doctors have not show an ability to control.

My Dr. might be able to tell me that my smoking is bad. That I need to lose 10 lbs. That getting black out drunk every weekend isn't doing me any good. All of that and more. But Dr's aren't any good about doing anything about those things.

You could add clean water and clean air in that pile.

Compared to that cancer detection and extending the lives of people with cancer is a drop in the bucket. Of course if you fall into that category then it's a huge difference but overall I don't think it makes a huge difference.
Perhaps, but I suspect management might be more occupied with the positive of "being fair" and not aware how much negative it is.
This is a pretty bad take. The article doesn't consider the numerous disciplines like chemistry, biology or physics for which often expensive physical resources, equipment and facilities are a necessity — really any course of study with a significant amount of time spent in a laboratory.

Call me paranoid, but I am very suspicious of the voices pushing for all-digital education. Of the students whom I know, none want this. It's not what they signed up for, and many feel shortchanged by their universities continuing to charge them full price for a subpar learning experience post-COVID.
It sends the message "I don't care about you" very loud and clear. Don't be surprised when your employees suddenly stop caring about your company
I can think of a few reasons to publicize this, but none of them have anything to do with avoiding controversy.
Interesting. It basically turns your monitor into a docking station. I could imagine adding an eGPU (if that doesn't already exist), too.

Personally I prefer modular components that I can swap out and upgrade separately, but I can see the appeal.
What if the point of it all isn't to make the consumer money, but to make companies less indiscriminate about gathering and storing data?

Why would habitual coffee drinkers be uncomfortable with coffee being a vice? A lot of coffee drinkers freely and openly admit that that first cup is needed to kick start the day and do so shamelessly.

There might be some tiny fraction of coffee drinkers who spaz out about stuff like that, but they'd generally be the ones spazzing out about everything.
Conservation planning and scientific research are my focus. Funding is extremely hard to find but the problems are interesting and tend to be net positive. Some conservation efforts can have a colonial feel but since most people are in it to "do good" there are strong efforts to keep those tendencies in check.
But a "regular language" is not the same as "regular expression" as mathematical concepts.
There are communities in which it is considered normal and/or advocated. If you read the link, you would be astonished that such communities could be found as close as on Reddit until end of last year.

In many (most?) parts of the world, for a woman walking alone after dark to see a group of men approaching often means to fear for her safety or life; in domestic conflicts women take much, much more damage from men than the reverse, the statistics are readily available.

If you consider “I don’t think it’s normal, so I don’t care what others say or write” a viable position in this context, then we disagree and I hope you will change your mind.

Generalizations, misattribution of intent and other biases against a disadvantaged group may exist in someone’s head, but when vocally expressed in a community they have the power to exacerbate an already difficult situation; especially if the majority of said community belongs to the very group that historically caused the disadvantage of the former group. (This is not limited to men vs. women or gender in general.)

It is worth phrasing things in a neutral way, even if it takes more words.
I don't really get reddit's efforts to clean their site.

They sometimes come up with measures like this, while routinely ignoring the development of horrible communities that they're aware of (since some users take any possible opportunity to mention them to the admins and are met with silence or half measures).

They even came up with the concept of quarantined subreddits. I honestly can't think of a single honest reason for them existing. Once you've deemed a community so harmful that you don't want people accidentally stumbling into it, why go out of your way to allow it to exist behind a curtain, instead of just outright banning it (unless you want to support it discreetly).

To be clear, I'm not accusing reddit admins of shadily supporting horrible communities. I'm just saying that, from the perspective of a user that sees them fight the battle, they're doing it so badly that it almost seems they don't want to win, and I wonder what's happening behind the scenes for that to happen.

Yes! Btw, the founder, Yvon Chouinard, a renowned mountain climber, wrote a great book about the story behind the company which is regarded as the “philosophical manual for the employees of Patagonia”. Awesome read imo.
Digg trying did not lose to reddit by trying to improve their platform by banning hateful content and low-quality users, nor did reddit win by being a haven for such content.
It's literally across the street from Port Authority, which is an open-air shooting gallery and homeless camp. It's not a nice area.
According to Geekbench a 9900K also beats a Ryzen 3700X in Clang. However when those two CPUs actually face head to head in an actual compilation benchmark (such as compiling LLVM), the 3700X easily & consistently beats the 9900K: https://openbenchmarking.org/embed.php?i=1907064-HV-CPUBENCH...

Or from another source, this time compiling Chromium (which also uses Clang): https://www.gamersnexus.net/images/media/2020/cpu-methods/1_...

And these are both 8-core / 16-thread CPUs, no multi-thread brute force shenanigans. And the 3700X is even the lower TDP & lower measured power consumption part, so no sketchy turbo games either.

So don't put too much faith in Geekbench numbers. They seem to have a very weak relationship to reality.
This entire thread starting from the GP is full of anecdotal unsubstantiated and glib responses, so I think that since we are not doing the typical HN due diligence of informative substantiated discussions, my theory is that coffee gives me the ability to produce more bullshit that I usually put out and perpetuate falsehood, untruthful information on the internet to stir up the pot, to make intellectual discourse an unbearable activity and my participation leaves the world worse off than it was before. Sips more coffee.
True of every website eventually, but if data is any indication that won't be happening any time soon.
Same here. I don’t think the majority of folks will start working remotely permanently, but I could very well see more and more people splitting time between WFH and working from the office. If some people on a team start to do it, others on that same team will start to ask if there’s still a reason for them to still be coming into the office every day. And I think this is especially true for densely-populated areas as people realize how much time and stress are saved not having to commute into the office _every single day_.
There's a thing I see all the time online where people massively underestimate human variance. While people have many things in common, they are all over the place when it comes to many important emotional and mental characteristics. There is no one-size-fits all for anything behavioral, not even close.

If they say it's bad for their long term well-being, they very likely know exactly what they're talking about even if your own experience is very different from that.
I’m happy to have the cost transferred (some parts are debateable, I need internet, a desk, and a monitor for home anyways) if it means no more commuting and no more open offices. My focus has significantly increased in the past few months.

Deux Ex felt then and still today like a gift where story was everything, right before online/multiplayer completely transformed the industry, and for a good ten years single player was more or less an afterthought. I've never been so engrossed in a storyline as I was when I played Deus Ex. I re-played it a few years ago and I was shocked how satisfying it still was.

I don't work in gaming, and I haven't been an avid gamer in nearly 15 years. From my cursory viewpoint, it feels like every 5-10 years a story-driven game comes along, but mostly it feels like the industry is focused on either massive open world games, or Fortnite-esque quick-hit experiences.

I'd love to hear from people in the industry on how games like Deux Ex that live and die on story are thought of in the industry.
This is exactly what reddit would become if they weren't taking steps to deal with racism and other forms of hate speech.
