I learned to swim on my own as a little kid. 30 years later, I decided to join swimming classes; I saw that swimming is extraordinarily complex. There are too many things to learn at the same time for someone to be able to pay attention and learn proper form for all of them. Inevitably, you'll learn proper form for one thing, and incorrect for many others, then, with one good habit in the bag, you can start focusing on the next one, then the next one, then the next one. From time to time, you will fall back to the old habits for some certain part of the motion, so you'll need to revisit it, and debug it again.

Tom Brady, who many people consider the greatest quarterback in the history of American football, still has a throwing coach (Tom House [1]), and he's still debugging his throwing motion. After 20+ years of throwing in a professional league.

So, for sure, unlearning habits is difficult, but learning only proper form from the start is probably an exceedingly rare exception. I think for most people the process of learning will involve learning incorrect form first, and attempting to fix this later.

I've noticed that my enjoyment of a book doesn't seem to be related to the age of the book, provided it's not so old that I can't understand the dialect of English it was written in (English Renaissance drama is enjoyable but challenging.)

No, it's just that you didn't click through to any of the comments...
I'm not sure why you're getting downvotes, because this is spot-on. Anonymous paper-folding image boards and other places like that are already celebrating the arrival of newcomers. It's like sending a petty offender to prison, and instead of getting reformed, they just get a lot more hardcore.

I get it that Reddit doesn't want extremism on its site, and I don't have an opinion either way on the bans. But I think it's naive to assume that people won't just hop to another, possibly more extreme, platform.
I think this must be true of software, too; I have thought, from time to time, "that'd be neat, but there's no way I could sell it", or even just "that'd be neat, but nobody else would want to contribute" (for FOSS). But... the same logic would imply that a lot of things shouldn't exist that do. Why do any of the BSDs exist, why does redox exist, why are there so many programming languages, why are there so many package managers, ... maybe, if I think it's neat enough to build, other people would want to use it. Maybe, if I would pay for it (if only someone would sell it), others would, too.
This is a pretty common response: just vote for the other guy. Too bad no one trustworthy is running for the executive office.
This is more or less how TV series work. You put out a season, you get feedback, then you develop the next season.

I doubt it's practical for individual episodes yet. You would likely need a month between episodes to do this, and people would just forget about your show in that time.
Perhaps you're forgetting that Russia is not a super power.

They can extract cheap oil and try to sell their military equipment.

We'll see how that pans out in the future, while Europe is slowly moving to green energy.

It's just nuts that they are throwing away the opportunity to correctly invest oil/gas money, before it's over.

Living under this rule would enable reddit to survive and adapt far longer in a democratic republic. This philosophy and the sub-reddits were reddit's strength. If anyone didn't like what reddit currently had, anyone could form their own sub-reddit. That's over. I can't put all the blame on reddit leadership when SESTA and FOSTA exist as laws.

The bad content isn't going to go away. It's just going somewhere else. imo this is the start of a diaspora The only question is where will everyone go?
Yes and reasonable people understand this and don't need censorship. Who would hate a platform for not removing people for just honestly disagreeing and talking? Inciting violence and cheating the system is a different story and the obvious edge of free speech

HN, like Reddit, rewards you for writing comments that other people agree with. That’s why controversial opinions aren’t very common.
I see reddit as a platform where everyone can shitpost whatever they want, and where every opinion will face criticisms. Banning right or left wing subreddits will make these people to leave to "safe harbour" where their extreme views won't be banned, but such portals will be pwoered by their extreme views and there will be no criticism or "quality control". Basically, extremists fuelling each other to do harm in real life, because there is no one to tell them "hey, this is too edgy" just like small terrorist groups start.
This ban is primarily to satiate anti-China sentiment.

The global economy is too interwined with China. No country can afford to put a blanket ban on things that matter, without a viable plan-B.

lol? Absolutely wrong here.
It's at least interesting that it's close-ish to current entry-level MacBook Air performance, even with Geekbench running under Rosetta. Seems like that would indicate that the real chips they'll be using in laptops and desktops will be pretty performant.

/r/ConsumeProduct was antisemtic? I never saw that in the posts of theirs that made the front page. It was always memes about over-consumption, they might make fun of disposable make-up wipes for example ("And when you're done, just throw it away!" cue gallery yelling in a robotic voice: CONSUME PRODUCT).

Genuinely curious what the link to antisemitism is. Is the thought that consumerism = big business, and big business = "the jews"?

Edit: I made this comment early in the thread, before others started to weigh in on why this subreddit was banned. I'm willing to engage in a discussion if you reply instead of downvote.
> no economist has ever used the phrase "trickle down economics"

No, but plenty of economists have used the phrases "supply-side economics" and "Laffer Curve" to discuss (and advocate) the policies that "trickle down" was coined to disparage.
> I honestly am asking you to reflect on it. Why do you care? What's it to you?

What a phenomenal way to shut down conversation.

"Why do you care?" is such a spineless response. It could be used in any conversation regarding any topic for an easy out.

Either engage with the conversation or don't.

With whom shall we fill the seats? The only party truly interested in liberty is the Libertarians. I doubt they can get their act together to provide a reasoned, unified platform. They need more than sound bites and a guy in an oversized hat or boot. I like them. I lean that way. I vote for the candidate for president, but they are not a good party.

Let’s look at the latest tragity, the EARN IT bill you will see that this is a bi-partisan effort. The Democrats are not standing in opposition. They are co-sponsors. https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/339...
People that think there is some "party line" at Reddit should look into the founders' political views.

To put it in perspective, spez is a right-wing libertarian who fought to keep r/Jailbait alive because it was the most visited subreddit at the time, despite it being a subreddit for posting suggestive pictures of minors.
Not sure why that's more odd than other crazy fingerprinting techniques actually in use. Keep in mind no midi devices would need to be present for fingerprinting. Different failure modes, etc.

Especially in the porn industry where the end users are likely using incognito mode or a VPN.

I agree with that approach (which is why I don't use Twitter).

> It's also not really about being nice or mean, it's about comments like these...

You've just unintentionally identified the exact problem. You think my response was somehow "sexist" or hostile. I don't. I do think it mostly contains critical thought. If you think my comment should be censored, you've lost all credibility as far as I'm concerned.

> ..., and I have a lot more karma than you.

(1) This is perhaps one account of 10+ I have made over the years. I don't know how much karma you have because I do not care and won't be clicking through to your account. I also have no idea how much karma I have, totaling all accounts together. I would estimate ~ 100.
(2) My relationship with HN (and most of the internet outside of IRC) is almost entirely parasitic; I rarely comment or submit articles to HN. I certainly wouldn't do so specifically in order to increase my karma rating.
(3) If you care enough about karma to brag about it, you probably are a terrible contributor to HN anyway.

Already said it in another comment:

Are we going to pretend everything in that history section is wrong and they were only quarantined for anti-police comments?

There are literally dozens of crisis that the subreddit spawned, literally any of which would have been explained it. The fact we can actually go back on forth on which one of the many many many straws broke the camels back says it all.

You also seem to want to go so far as to imply the only reason other subreddit get away with anti-police sentiment is some kind of hypocritical favortism?
An elected parliament that controls the budget is actually a very core part of democracy. Power flows from budgets.
On top of that, the advertising tried to sell the platform itself. That might work if the platform already has content people want. Since people want the content, they want the platform.

Instead, there wasn't anything there that people already knew about/wanted. Consequently, there was no reason for people to want the platform. (i.e. Why do I want to pay for this new thing?!?)

Personally, I found Quibi's advertising so annoying and pointless that I would likely never be interested in looking past it to see what the platform was all about.

On the other hand, if they had started pushing shows/creators as an anchor for the platform (with something like an "only on Quibi ..." branding say) it might have been more interesting. I.e. make the platform secondary to the content, convince people they want the content, and that gives them a reason to look at the platform in the first place.

Basically, the consumers don't care about the platform itself so much as they care about what it provides them.
The article assumes a serious emphasis on specialization is the only way to "succeed", which is also left undefined.

Both of those tell you more about the author than provide any objective advice.

> should

> According to me.

> I could probably go on, but that would be gratuitous

This is a problem for your argument. You could go on indefinitely, but it would never move your argument forward by a non-zero value. Are you familiar with "is vs ought"?

In AI research we know that an AI can accumulate many "is" forms of intelligence, like "the car is red", or whatever. Other "is" conclusions can be derived from the existing collection of "is" assumptions.

But an "ought" can not be derived from "is" statements. An "ought" can only be justified if you assume some prior "ought", which is a non-trivial problem for AI, and for people making claims about what someone else ought to do.

So you can't say it "is" hot outside, so therefore I "ought" to drink some water, unless you assume some prior "ought". Like, "you ought to not want to die of dehydration, and it is hot outside, therefore you ought to drink some water". But should I ought to not want to die of dehydration? Maybe, but only if you assume another ought.

Your ought claim about what people should do if they are capable depends on other people's opinions about what ought to be, whether it's what "educated people" think ought to be, or what "moral people" think ought to be, or what King Solomon said ought to be. But those are all arbitrary opinions, which can't be justified without assuming additional arbitrary opinions.

It's ought all the way down. Meaning, each person has to decide what's important to them, and it ends up being rather arbitrary in the end.
This seems rather ironic, since TD was banning people that went against the majority opinion.

If TD is repeatedly violating freedom of speech principles what exactly is your recourse to ensure they comply and adhere to freedom of speech? If we accept that TD has the right to ban users it doesn't like, then we accept that Reddit has the right to ban subreddits it doesn't like.
We all know that time is linear... except if you are traveling pretty fast :P
> we [..] could have more federated and decentralized platforms, or at least more client-side filtering inside of centralization curation

We should start a center to discuss and curate these ideas, a place where we could get together and define what it means to achieve decentralization.

We could call it something snappy and semantic like, say, the Center for Decentralization.
It's because prior to the Rohm Purge ( the correct name for the "night of the long knives"), the SA and parts of the Nazi Party ran by Ernest Rohm took the "Socialism" part of the 'National Socialist" name seriously. This is what led him to be purged.

The Nazis and their corporate backers (IG Faben, Messerschmidt, etc) did NOT like the idea of socialists being in power and gave Hitler an ultimatum which lead to the "Socialist" part of the platform being de-facto abandoned by 1934.

The Weimar Republic had hate speech laws, and prosecuted Nazis for violating them. This simply resulted in more polarization and Nazis becoming more committed to their cause.

New rule change is essentially no hate subs except if it’s hate against a majority aka white people. As a minority I’m tired of defending white people from other white people and being shouted at by white people for doing so. I’ve tried for 6 years to push for equality for all and had the most insane rebuttals against that.

> It is a common sentiment there that the only good Democrat is a dead one.

A similar sentiment is commonly expressed by far left individuals and groups on Twitter, Facebook and other mediums.

"the only good Tory is a dead Tory" has been the popular refrain for decades.

It's depressing these sentiments are carelessly amplified and approved by so many.

Edit: Apparently this has caused a stir. I encourage others to not read into this comment anything but disdain for the kind of discourse where "the one good BLANK is a dead BLANK" is accepted.
Oddly, I don't have that problem with software at all. I think it's the hassle of shipping that makes me think that, whereas software is deliverable immediately.
As a trans person myself. All that subreddit did was target hate towards trans people. Anyone care to elaborate on what else they did with actual proof?

I'd love to see it taken further with the images half-toned, I'm sure there has to be a good half-toning CSS filter out there somewhere.
I think this is a pretty narrow vision of what the web can be. For example, text + hyperlinks excludes things like google maps and youtube, which are quite literally world changing pieces of technology.

For sure there is a balance to be struck in terms of how much access we allow other people to our phones and computers, but let's not kill off whole classes of novel applications before they've even had a chance to be built.
If I could do a new Klutz book it would be something that was in the pipeline when I left that I was calling The Top 100 Facts of All Time. I still have a long file of candidates. The other day on Reddit there was a subreddit on stuff that seemed like fiction but wasn’t. The top entry was the Richard Parker story (Edgar Allen Poe is involved, check it out). I appreciated that because the Richard Parker story got me started on the whole idea many years ago.
For comparison, The Intel DTK was a P4, with an Intel GMA900 GPU, shoved in a powermac chassis. It wasn't indicative of the performance of the core duo & xeons they in the first-gen Intel Macs.

The DTK is a minimum viable platform, not a product.

(That's not to say I'm not hellish curious about some Rosetta2 examples that aren't cherry-picked!)
The paper covers inefficiencies in compiler-generated binaries, either from missed optimization opportunities or from the compiler's own poor code generation.

The paper shows that some of these perceived inefficiencies can be resolved by manual changes on a few lines of code, such as eliminating redundancies. However, the paper then demonstrates that such manual changes can sometimes make the results worse because a particular compiler might not be able to perform inlining or vectorization.

The paper concludes the optimization study by stating, "no compiler is better or worse than another production compiler in all cases." (The study was on GCC, LLVM, and ICC.)

> They're also not collecting data about my consumer behavior with the goal of displaying more ads

This is my original point. They 100% absolutely are. Look at some of the ad and tracking frameworks for native apps. Somehow no one cares.
Agreed so many professions have to keep a bit up to date but 90% of the stuff they need to know is learned on the job or in college a long time ago. In Software I feel like the things I was working on 10 year ago are completely different to what I do now, which is why 50yo devs are competing with 25yo for the same jobs (assuming you dont want to be a manager)
Are you talking specifically about add-to-home-screen / offline capabilities? Because PWA is a very broad term, and most descriptions I've seen consider those features necessary to be a PWA.

Ignoring those two, you get damn near every major web app. All of Google's applications, Facebook, Twitter, etc. etc.
It is not reddit job to attempt to police whole Internet or whole society. They manage their own site only.
You are still completely missing my point w/r/t the number of listeners with radio, but I’m not sure how else to get you to see it, so I’m gonna duck out. Best of luck to you.
Americans very shrewdly avoid the fact that their state was supporting literal neo-Nazi's in Ukraine. It seems they are caught in a caldron of misinformation and simply do not care for the truth, as long as it distracts the world from the other things America is doing, as a nation, around the world.

Hey Dang, that was really helpful! Thanks!

> It's possible that you were misled by the word 'solely'

Yeah, I don't think I fully understand the premise.

> Do you see how that could come across as dismissive?

I can see that but it's really hard to convey something contrary to popular belief.

Let's say I want to say something like "it's easy to be a victim rather than to take action and make change" I truly believe that and I really think it will help people to take actions rather than just being stagnant. I don't want to be dismissive. How can I say it?

> better is to ask clarifying questions rather than making objections

I somewhat agree. But, it's hard to discuss without counter arguments.
Reddit removed The_Donald from showing up in All, changed their search algorithm, and changed the number of active users showing up on T_D (they screwed up and you could see the true number on their ad buy portal).

Those were all 100% admin actions to censor, not moderator actions.
