And community -- both the other students, and the professors. To motivate each other, and to calibrate expectations, and to fill holes in each others' knowledge. That seems like the big (academic) reason to be physically on campus, and ideally at a selective place.

My impression is that the same would be true of (say) history, but I don't really know.

I have never heard anyone ask for a way to remove an app without uninstalling it. Seems like weird feature creep to me. Edge case, just stick the app in a folder...
Though take the time to revisit the original art because some of it is a master class in early pixel art, and Monkey Island II was a master class in early MIDI work that stands nearly unbeaten in what it did dynamically and adroitly (search keyword for technical tales: iMUSE), and the lone full collaboration between all three of LucasArts' composers. One of the great things that both Monkey Island remasters did was make it a one button push to switch between original and remastered art and music (including the ability to do it mid-scene).
The thing with reddit's rules is they aren't applied in a consistent way. You can go to /r/justiceserved (which is basically a violence porn sub) and talk about violence all you want. Look at https://www.reddit.com/r/JusticeServed/comments/hdvsy2/dayli... as an example, look at the people there that are saying they think it's a good thing that a guy was shot (and killed) for attempted robbery. This was the top post on /r/rising for that sub when I made this comment.

You can go to /r/politics and say that we should go to war with Iran, or say that it would be great if Putin died and be fine.

/r/chapotraphouse has probably the same amount of calls for (or glorification of) violence as /r/politics (and less then /r/justiceserved), but for some reason reddit has it out for them. Also, how is /r/cth supposed to fix their rulebreaking if the admins aren't very clear on what content is breaking the rules?

I think there's something to this, because on at least the iOS app, a quarantined subreddit basically looks like it doesn't exist at all, on the phone app.

https://careers.nba.com/employees/ this list might be cherry-picked, but this looks like a pretty (at least racially/phenotypically) diverse list of people. I assume you are actually thinking about NBA teams, but I wanted to bring this up to make the point that the NBA organization is not necessarily controlled by by a group of people representative of the players that you would rightly associate with it.
Exactly. I honestly enjoy 4chan for a multitude of reasons, and have had many quality discussions on the site over the past many years. There's always garbage to sift through, but I like the "free" nature of those types of platforms.
Eh, companies have had this option and many have engineering offices in lower cost of living countries long before the current situation. There are a lot of reasons for companies to hire in the US.

What wouldn't surprise me though if/when remote becomes a bigger chunk of certain types of jobs, is if salaries across US regions equalize more given that local labor market rates become less of a factor for setting salaries. In the extreme case (which won't be the norm), your decision to live in a high CoL city is no different from your decision to live on expensive oceanfront property.
If you need something like that in specific cases you can always email hn@ycombinator.com.
'Far-left content' and 'hateful content' are not mutually exclusive. Quite the opposite, really.

It is amazing how people will redefine hating Trump supporters, men, white people, "the 1%", western civilization etc as somehow 'not hateful'. "My hate isn't hate, I just dislike things that are bad." Right.
You'd be surprised what percent of reddit visitors just browse popular or don't do specific subs outside the default. Most users aren't super users.
Note that the three facilities that have disbursed funds but are not releasing transaction level data were all established before the CARES act was enacted and have nothing to do with the $454 billion in funding there. Those are safe facilities lending to banks or other bank-like companies and didn't require any support from Congress. There was never any commitment to disclose transaction data there. OP is just misleading.

Thanks for the feedback. I will work on this and make sure I get it right next time.

Just to be clear, do you expect the introduction as a comment here or on the website?
I got one of these warnings, and I've narrowed down what I engaged with to a Hard Times article. Strange times when reddit finds satire too spicy for their site.
I can’t help to believe that all the hard work was done by men and all the presentation was done by women.
But we don't know how much of their revenue is driven by FB ads. Its possible that its not that significant.

revenue gain from publicity + brand strengthening > loss of revenue

Their future customers aren't red state ppl.

Its possible that they are using this formula. I don't get all the blind praise and "respect" from people who have no idea what equations were used to get to this decision.

They should outline what sacrifices they are making otherwise i take this as a 'publicity stunt' . This stunt is particularly absurd given they have no problem making stuff in china.

Ppl blindly supporting this are politically motivated, obviously.

I would personally consider working at Patagonia to be working at a non-profit. Where I take a paycut for the values. See this post for an example as to why they might not be able to pay top dollar: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23601699
If they're making value based decisions, they can't maximize profits like your facebooks or walmarts or amazons. Just a consideration.
"Slide to dystopian horror"? For banning a bunch of garbage subs and the people that upvote the garbage? Hyperbolic much?
Agreed. I listened to one of their interviews on Rogan and couldn’t stand it after half an hour. It’s good to be smart but but it seems a bad character trait to be convinced of your own brilliance.

> If India was so great it's smaller immediate neighbor wouldn't be so hostile towards it, and friendly to CCP.

I'm assuming by small country you meant Pakistan. If so, this couldn't be further from truth. Pakistan isn't hostile toward India because India isn't great; the reason is in the reason of its creation and a relentless need to justify that reason. Pakistan came into existence based on an idea that Muslims couldn't survive in a democratic nation with majority Hindu population as Hindus would be a de-facto rulers. (Although this argument has turned out to be a completely false as in India the population of Muslims have grown from 8% to 14%+ after independence. On the other hand, minority population - Hindus/etc. - have declined considerably in Pakistan.)
Be it culture, history or language, Pakistan has most things common with India. If there's piece between both, people would soon start questioning reason to stay separate - together both can be a great powerful nation on the world. Many outside interests (read super-powers) wouldn't like this to happen so they keep fueling aggressive elements. Similarly, rulers of Pakistan can't allow this to happen for obvious reason. Till date, you can hear their leaders justifying separation from India in their speeches by highlighting some stray incident happened with some Muslim in India.
Ugh I hope it won’t be as bad. I’ve never tolerated Reddit’s interface well.
Widgets can definitely be overused. But I like having a calendar, a data usage meter, music player controls, and quick access to my top couple of contacts.
My point is, they consider it true because of the country's political cohesion. If the country wasn't politically cohesive, the ethnic identity wouldn't be either. The unified identity is explained by the political homogeneity as much as it explains it.
At this point reddit is arguably a social danger, in that it is made to look like organic content, while in truth everything is heavily censored and opinions are implicitly and explicitly approved in an absolute top down manner.

Opaque vote display and ranking algorithms, keyword based shadowbanning, ideological mods and admin - combined with an organic facade you have a platform to manufacture consensus and push propaganda onto millions of unsuspecting users, young and old alike.

Frankly it's scummy and I hope they fail.
> So no site should be allowed to have moderation policies that include things like "no trolling," "no flaming," "no swearing," or anything like else like that for things that don't cross into "illegal" abusive speech?

Any site can have any rules they want. But they shouldn't expect to be able manipulate and control discussion and face no backlash from users.

> Without becoming a target for filling up with illegal shit to overwhelm the moderators and cause legal trouble for the owners?

'Trolling', 'flaming' and 'swearing' are not illegal, and honestly, most complaints about 'trolling' I see are just people who disagree with what they're reading.
"Allow Apple to control who can unlock your car" seems to very quickly lead to "Congratulations, law enforcement will literally never knock, ask or notify when breaking into your car going into the future." I could just be cynical though.
From what I understood in the keynote, and I might be wrong, it will be used by Siri to actually send the message.
I think there are unresolved philosophical issues around probabilistic interpretations where it's not clear a priori what the space of possibilities is. Even if we could pin it down in an instant, that space is constantly reshaped in the brain as it adapts to its environment.

"brown dog" surely has some probabilistic content but it's hard to locate where it is because of the enormous complexity of the space of "possible situations in which a brain can perceive a brown dog".
I would like you to explain to me how you could avoid using Google given that Google Analytics is present in some 70% of the top 10,000 websites and reCaptcha also has huge penetration.
> I don’t want to give developers my billing info. […] I don’t want to download apps that literally do nothing except kick me out to a website for a billing transaction

I agree. But I'm not ready to pay $142/year instead of $99 for that convenience.
I haven't seen that part yet, but to me the iOS app list was a killer feature.

I always hated Android's desktop, it feels redundant when there's already an app menu, and I can't stand the fact that newly installed apps decide to show up on the desktop. Never used widgets either, they have never made my daily workflow easier at all. YMMV
For banks it was an image problem, not wanting their outdoorsy customers to turn away from their products because they were popular with wall st types.

If you don’t start firing the wrong customers you’ll enevitably start designing your products for them.

Like how trucks have become godawful expensive monstrosities because their primary customers are buying them for the image instead of actually needing to use them on a regular basis.
This is great, having every app, unsorted by default, on the homescreen/desktop was one of the most annoying things to me about iOS. I have a regular habit of running General->Reset->Reset Home Screen Layout to get an alphabetical list.

Auto creating homescreen icons is one of the first things I turn off when first setting up an android device.
Not only Android catchup, stuff like widgets were a feature on OSX a decade+ ago before they removed it.
I think that’s mostly a joke - people will ask for your TC on the most unrelated threads, and there will be no follow up. Just a self fulfilling prophecy that the anonymous tech community should be usable for getting a rough idea of possible comp levels.
The language (Recognizing vs Generating) sounds awfully close to deep learning, and both are very hot subjects in the last 5 years. A GAN is basically made of a generator coupled to a recogniser. In reinforcement learning there have been promising results by coupling an agent with an internal world model capable of rolling out possible outcomes.
Upload Speed Is Probably Too Slow
Sorry, but this is an irresponsible conclusion. Today's "untouchables" are largely due to socioeconomic class differences rather than systemic caste oppression, which has been outlawed for a while.

The same inequality is growing quickly in the USA when you consider the percentage of wealth the 1% has.

Because if you have competent people, managers don't need to do much, we just coordinate ourselves to achieve our goals and our boss asks us from time to time if everything is going OK.

The catch is, it takes a good manager to hire and keep good employees that can self coordinate effortlessly.
Looks like they're adding instant apps as well.
My mother had H.pylori, developed cancer at the stomach (and the doctors believe it was because of H.pylori), had her stomach removed, did chemo (which is a version of hell on earth), and she is fine now, 6 years later. But it could all have been avoided if she had taken an antibiotic treatment. Unfortunately, although she had tested positive for H.pylori, she was given a non-antibiotic treatment, and that was simply not enough.

After this episode, I went to a gastroenterologist together with my wife, we both got tested. I didn't have it, my wife did. She took the antibiotic course, which was slightly unpleasant (leaves a metallic taste in your mouth, I think), but it's a small price to pay to avoid a cancer that is quite deadly (about 70% 5-year fatality rate).
The core here is that answering the question of "did the site decide to take an unreasonable political stance?" vs "did the user decide to take an unreasonable political stance?" is not as black and white as you would like.

The answer is going to be a moving target. You're gonna have some government bureaucrats having to make rulings on these regulations.

And many of the proponents of this seem to fail to imagine a world where Donald Trump is ever not president. Imagine the power this would give the government against someone who plays fast and loose with 'facts'. "We've decided that the statements in this post were intentionally misleading, therefore they are a political statement, and the owners of the site promoted them in a way that they didn't do to this other post, therefore the owners are making a political statement and this is not a neutral site, which makes it liable for these other comments from other users that we're interpreting as violent threats."
Excited about the Applets. Sounds like what QR codes promised to be, but ended up being too cumbersome
It makes no sense to you, but for years, users on certain subreddits were exposed to users and their views from other subreddits thanks to brigading.

Likewise, Reddit and Facebook both have to deal with being judged by all the forums they "host." You may not think it makes sense to criticize Reddit as a whole for hosting white supremacist forums and violent misogyny forums, but the rest of society seems to think that one bad apple forum spoils the entire Reddit and Facebook barrel.

If you're looking for a comparison, I don't have to read any thread I don't want to on HN, just as I don't have to join any subreddit I don't want to on Reddit.

But I know they're there, and that affects my perception of what HN or Reddit or Facebook is.

If it was just about hiding content, we could argue that HN shouldn't censor anything, but if we let people tag threads and comments with labels like "white supremacy" or "SJW raving," then everyone can filter what they don't want to see, so what's the problem?
> Having one-party rule for 60 years is no democracy.

Er, what? Democracy means people can choose the government. There were several political parties in those 60 years of Congress rule. They just weren't big enough to win elections. In any case, you just have to look at the last 20+ years to see how government has alternated between political parties.

> You don't have a democracy when the state controls all the TV media.

[citation needed]

> The basis for this is the level of grinding poverty in India

270 million lifted out of poverty just in a decade (2006-2016), second only to China. Existence of poverty means democracy is not the right form governing? You make no sense. What is the alternative?

> live in a Indian slum for a year and then come back to me, and spew the virtues of "democracy" vs economic freedom and rights

I have lived in India for better part of two decades. I don't need lessons from you on what poverty looks like, thanks.
You might be trying to explain the behavior of police, but it sounds like you’re excusing it. Discussing causal relationships can sometimes be useful for finding a solution, and sometimes not, but must be done carefully if at all in tense situations.
What portion of all users are going to do that? A fraction of a percent?

The point of making the companies change is that most users aren’t computer literate enough to understand the problem, it’s consequences, or the mitigations. The knowledge asymmetry between the average user and the companies collecting and using this data could hardly be more vast, and that creates a situation where companies can effectively prey on less knowledgable users. If the wide majority of users aren’t capable of finding/using the available user-level solutions, the problems will remain rampant.
While some may be addressed and others are being addressed, what would really help us if people file issues when they don't find performance to be adequate. If you still have the code handy, please do open some issues.
On a railgun you'll have to pass orbital speed by the end of the rail, because, from that point on, you will only lose speed to the atmosphere and you have most of it still above the end of the rail.

Rockets, OTOH, go up vertical for most of the atmosphere and then get horizontal in order to get to orbital speed, preferably where there is little or no atmosphere.

You'll also need to carry some form of propulsion to circularize your orbit, unless you are aiming for escape velocity, in which case your speed at the end of the rail will have to be much higher. Whatever engine you have will need to survive the acceleration.
It's kinda like not putting all the app shortcuts on your desktop. Maybe people don't know that they want it.
Eating disorder, I’m sure. There are pro-eating disorder forums around on the internet just like there are pro-suicide forums.
Yeah, I've never criticized Rust advocates for not talking enough about Rust. :P

But seriously, yeah, the seasoned Rustaceans I've known have been pretty thorough in giving downsides/limitations as well. It's something I love about a language; when the voices in it are aggressive in talking about things it does poorly, or use cases it's not optimal (I still love that Erlang's official website has a section for when _not_ to use it).
> We don't have to dehumanise interaction to present clean information

I agree with this sentence, but when actually implemented it often results in fake upbeat corporate marketing cheerfulness niceties that goes in the opposite direction.

To your other points: I think SO should be used when you can reasonably expect at least one other person to ask your question down the line. It's not about your particular issue, the idea is you are entering something into a knowledge bank for easy retrieval by others later on. This is why it's also encouraged to answer your own questions! It's not a discussion site, but a mapping of questions a person may have to the answer.

Indeed, if you want to discuss back and forth, you are better served by the project Github or a project mailing list or the forums of old. If you want to focus on the personal connection: there are tons of Discord servers, Slack workspaces, subreddits, I guess some forums and IRC channels are also alive etc.

The problem that many people have with the new cultural shift is that the expectations are just different. Not everything has to turn into a social site with followers, likes, shares, news feeds etc. There is simply an influx of people with a different culture/value system compared to the original hacker ethos. The problem is, it was the hacker ethos that made the site so efficient, usable and popular.

Sure, hacker culture is also known for its flame wars and shouting RTFM and being unwelcoming, and it should be improved, but the problem is, that you cannot scale personal one-on-one mentoring when the influx of novices is so fast. There is tons of low effort "this code does not work, give me solution plz thx" and a dump of random code from some app. You can't do handholding guidance with everyone. Many of them are not receptive to anything and expect to be served with an answer because they deserve it and if they are told to put in some work, they say it's too elitist.

The thing is, SO's biggest value comes from the contributor base. And as we can see from the meta posts, the contributors are not appreciative of the new direction.

If it's stretched too far, at some point it will come to a fork with some stronger filtering and a different culture and many of the people who take their time to answer questions will move.

You can't force people to interact in a way you prescribe from the top down. It has to come organically from the community itself.

The dichotomy is seems to be reflected in the growing divide between rational, scientific inquiry, and modern progressive liberal arts which are rooted in critical theory.
That’s a lose lose situation. They could be slammed for sacrificing income for their shareholders, or they didn’t lose out therefore it couldn’t have been a genuine act. Especially in this case where iirc the company founders bought up land for one of the biggest national parks in South America, I can believe it’s sincere.
The Monkey Island game was heavily influenced by the Disney ride and (as sibling comment noted) Tim Powers' book On Stranger Tides. The Venn Diagram of who influenced who is nearly a circle, as the game was influenced by the Disney ride and the book and the movies were influenced by the ride and the games and the book and now the updates to the ride are influenced from the movies and the book. Disney even owns the Monkey Island games now in buying Lucasfilm, so all your pirate fictions are belong to Disney. (Yarr.)
