Oakland, CA. AKA "Hell" according to recent news. I should be clear that things are far from perfect here, but one of the things about a strong community is that it is most helpful precisely when things are not perfect.

If I had any advice, it would be to find a place with modest sized homes close to the street, and a mixture of generations and subgenerations, and a place that is not so poverty-stricken as to induce desperation in people, but not so wealthy that people don't really need each other's help.
It is crazy to think that ideas can be extinguished. These purges will serve to further concentrate and radicalize the adherents to these ideologies.

edit: I may have been wrong, it seems deplatforming might work. [0] TIL! I had often read that echo chambers exacerbated radicalization but it seems more research has yielded better data to turn over that conclusion.

edit1: it seems like radicalization is more nuanced, and different ways to handle communities based on its composition (eg. it is different to introduce someone to an ideology vs pushing a person already exposed into a more extreme view). Found this video to be informative [1].

"hate speech" is a made up word and neither illegal or "bad". You're applauding a rebranded social score and a secondary justice system.

Could you provide some more information on what it was not great?
Hopefully expectations would adjust too. A command line app isn’t too geeky after all, and yes anyone who can use the electron app can use the “DOS” version too, like we did in the 80s
>Conservatism has a place in society.

It does. I've also been confidently assured by my conservative friends that conservatism is a very different politics from racism, fascism, and neo-Nazism. I would not really consider the question of whether I myself am a human being or, as Richard Spencer has posited, a "soulless golem", to be a conservative vs liberal fight.
When those projects started, not much. They offered Git storage and an issue list, pretty much.

Then they started to grow, specially GitLab in the beginning, and now try to be a single centralized solution for all software development needs like Atlassian, IBM and others had always been selling.
Because native apps are vetted by Apple.

And on the app install page there is verified data about the developer which you can use to contact/sue them if they violate your privacy. Good luck getting access to that information for a web app.
But it is you cannot be tolerant of all things. You can't simultaneously be tolerant of cats and of people who wish to ban cats. Those two things cannot simultaneously be accepted.
I think what broke the political dialog in this country is the whole hearted embrace of the association fallacy[1]. For example. I was talking with someone about COVID-19 and why it could have been released from a lab accidentally. The person I was talking with then accused me of believing in conspiracy theories. I then said many prominent people such as Tom Cotton and Mike Pompeo said this theory is credible. She then said that those are Trump supporters and "you know what those people are like." I said, no what? and then she said "They're like Timothy Mcvae" they are extremists. Implying that I was like Timothy Mcvae for believing ideas that Trump supporters also held.

I then, to show her the flaw in her reasoning, played guilt by association with her. That people denying this are parroting CCP propaganda and the CCP does all this horrible stuff. Why do you support all that horrible stuff? She got very emotional and burst into tears at the accussation.

I then explained the association fallacy, we made up and moved to other topics of conversation. However, this is a good percentage of arguments on reddit and most political forums and mainstream news. The association fallacy over and over and over again.

Nobody wants to have an information producing argument they just want to find out what team you're on by comparing your beliefs to "bad people" and "good people" and seeing which one you match the most with and then accusing you of being them.

Vast majority of users go back home and browse on their laptops because a big screen is better than a credit card

Vast majority of users will use whatever you throw at them, especially if they're friction free (no account needed, no credit card, no updates, no space occupied, immediately available, even on slow networks, etc. etc.)
Have twitch and YouTube also followed Reddit in allowing hate speech again majority groups?

You know what‘s even worse than gut feelings and hunches? Greenlighting processes that are number and „AI“ driven.

While there‘s a limited subset of AI like GANs that I‘d actually call creative, the usual tabular models are none of these.

So what do you do to maximise chances for a box office success?

Do a sequel to (or remake of) a well known movie, hire a star, use the standard playbook (never skip the „all is lost“ moment for dramatic effect) and add a love scene.

If you ever wondered why 2020 Hollywood feels like the same boring stuff in 8k UHD over and over again.

I think Netflix did pretty well with just hiring some known creative people and telling them „whatever you do, just use your gut feeling and we‘ll buy it“.

They aren't generally allowed to ask about your health to prevent discrimination. I think you could say something like "I had to take some time off to take care of a sick family member". It's technically the truth as you are a member of your family, but should prevent discrimination.

Why is euroscepticism on the rise? how can we combat false information

If you think euroscepticism is purely because of false information then perhaps your analysis is not as objective as it might be. For example the Greeks and Italians have seen their economies devastated by an interest rate set to favour Germany. That’s factual.
None of those banned are conservatives. There is nothing conservative about their views.
Right? If I wanted to deal with people I wouldn't have become a computer programmer.
While I agree about symmetric response to China, here is the problem:

> By banning more advanced, foreign competitors, India gives its local entrepreneurs a chance to grow hugely successful domestic apps, which can then compete internationally.

If India bans international apps from competing within India, wouldn't Indian apps from these new found enterpreneurs expect the same response from other countries? There is a paradox here.

Why should any country allow Indian apps if they cannot compete in India? You realize this is the exact same situation as what India is doing with China. Now replace China with India.

What hypocrisy!

>The worst of the alt-right are far, far worse than the worst of the extreme left (antifa, maybe? Though there is no alt-left).

Nah, there are plenty of people advocating for explicit ethno-separatism on the far left -- just look at Louis Farrakhan and his lefty pals. They just don't have very big YouTube channels. People more-or-less naturally ignore them except when they turn out to protests to hijack an ostensibly liberal or socialist cause.
Probably getting down-voted because no one appears to be claiming that it is the government doing the censoring.
Just wanted to touch on some of what you said, as I took a year to recoup from burnout in a fairly small-sized town...

Saving money, and having "time" are great, but at least for me the people in small towns live very different lives. The pace is slow and it's easy to become complacent. Compounding that is by not following the pace of life there, you're going against the grain and it will cause friction in your life.

Also, if you grew up in small towns, but haven't really been back in a while a lot of them are pretty depressing these days because of things like Amazon... Where I was most, if not all independent retailers/bookstores/etc had gone out of business. In fact, there wasn't a single book store for 90 miles despite roughly 200,000+ people living in the area. Want a tech talk? Probably not unless you're a real estate agent setting up a Wordpress ;P

If anyone is thinking about taking the jump and moving back home, or somewhere cheaper, my one suggestion is put a hard time-limit on it "1 year." It helped keep me sane having a deadline. Glad I took the time away, but even more glad I came the fuck back.

My only rain drops on your parade is that raves, dates and networking are particularly important in your 20's. I fear you would miss out on a lot of those activities that you will not get to ( or have far less opportunity to ) do when you're older. At 40 now, I'm glad I had those experiences, but little to no to desire to do them again.
Yes, probably state sponsored actors in Russia.

Is constructing a device capable of sustaining a chain reaction all that difficult though? We did it in the 40's with a big pile of uranium and some graphite. Could an external thermal neutron source allow you to reduce the size even further? I don't think it will be long before some idiot on youtube creates one in his backyard. There are already communities of folks playing with fusors, which can produce neutrons capable of activating nearby materials.

We've all heard of the radioactive boy scout, and he figured out what he did without youtube and ebay.

Very well written and well thought out comment. It gave me a new perspective on the traditional conception of partisan politics.
>
It stopped being that within a couple of days of starting and was co-opted to advance other goals. It's for "racial equality" only inasmuch as no sane person will argue _against_ racial equality. Same as "antifascism" is also _nominally_ against something that's unquestionably bad, so no sane person will disagree with the core premise.

This is a wonderful theory, but the past couple of years (Centuries, in the case of racial equality) of political discourse in America has shown that it does not match reality.

There are plenty people who have no problem arguing for racism, or for fascism, and thanks to Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, those people have gained both a lot more influence and a lot of, to put it charitably, allies of convenience - or, to put it uncharitably, true believers.
"You talkin' to me, huh, you talkin to me?"

Because I already know all that hot air.

But in the context of the article we're all superspreaders or we're NOT all superspreaders and they don't explain (nor CAN they explain) the difference b/c THEY DON'T KNOW!

Yes, of course "superspreader" means something within the confines of social diseases or slow spread. But today, in the context of Covid-19 it has lost any distinction from "carrier" or "infected". But most importantly a term that is undefined or poorly defined brings no new information to the table.

Possibly for a good reason: covid-19 is very contagious, so contagious that everyone indeed may be a "superspreader".
But if so, what new does that reveal, what does it tell you that is useful and not already known? How does it help do the math? How would it change how the powers-that-be model? Would they model CovId-19 and AIDS with different math?

Thanks to crappy stats, crappy science and a crappy pseudo-science (epidemiology) that works with models that don't apply this is (unfortunately ) one more useless term.

This has nothing to do with conspiracy theories and is merely the "superspreading" of yet more fear by fearmongering media and individuals. This has nothing to do with people who don't take the same precautions you do.

thomaslord says> "The term is actually incredibly useful..."

For what? No one, not even a moron, needs the term "superspreader" to know to avoid someone who interacts daily with many ill people or "who's come into close contact with 500 people in the past week while not wearing a mask".

Using the term is fearmongering that adds no information to the situation. Not that there is much information to begin with - all authorities and "experts" can do is count illnesses and count deaths (and they _still_ aren't doing that very well).
I've always been baffled by this. Especially in pop-up dialog boxes, you can have drop-down arrows hiding the ugly bits (but that said, a core dump is usually not that useful).

I always thought: "Something Happened" might be the worst, ever, but I recently came upon this when setting up a Dell Desktop running Windows 10, trying to use a wireless keyboard. (I learned to always keep a USB keyboard around for bootstrapping purposes):

- "No keyboard detected, press any key to continue…."
Gitlab has an opinionated (and mostly open source) toolchain and set of practices for proposing, implementing, validating, operating, and monitoring software and changes to that software built on top of Git at one end and Kubernetes at the other, with lots of configurable escape hatches to override its smart defaults when/if you need to.

I haven't really seen anything else quite like it (though it does have a long way to go still).

People try to roll their own from-scratch solutions or plug in an off the shelf tool here or there and their idea-to-production pipelines are generally worse or incomplete in comparison. Most of the architects of these things only care about their corner of the solution space and the rest are either neglected or have their own champions and their own siloed solutions.

Nothing off the shelf quite resembles it either. If you e.g. buy and use the entire Atlassian suite and train and get everyone to agree on the desired flows and practices, so much is left to you to design that no two such systems are likely to be similar, nor (in my experience) is any one such system likely to be very effective or efficient in daily use.

I'd really enjoy seeing Gitlab mature and expand, I would love to work at an org that adjusted itself to fit something like what Gitlab is trying to be, instead of trying to make their hodgepodge of tools adhere to their personal tastes and political dynamics, etc. (a Sisyphean task as those landscapes are under constant arbitrary change).

That's an argument against Coca Cola doing business in South America, not against banning an advertising platform in South America.
> has a world view in direct opposition to what you could refer handwaveingly as "western"

I don't think this is even hand-wavingly a thing. If it is then it doesn't bode well because "we" don't exactly have a great track record of treating people on the other side of the world well.
I had to get back into C# a year or so ago to build a commercial internal production management application, WPF with XAML was exceptionally pleasant to work with and the final product just worked with few issues.

It felt weirdly like writing Vue-like code.

Microsoft nailed it imo, VS2017 and C# have come along way since I used to do .net 3.5 stuff.

I really liked C#, it’s http and a sync/await stuff was excellent.
To be fair the argument isn't really that TD was where "open and honest" discussion would happen, rather that reddit is politically biased anti-Trump in selectively detecting rule violations.

Pull requests are the thing they offer that is closest to Git itself but not available in the base Git. It's a code reviewing tool to use before merging branches.

Developer A has a branch that he wants to merge with the master branch. He opens a pull request for that merge, and Developer B can look at the diff online and _comment on it_. On individual lines or blocks, or on the PR as a whole. The comments can become discussions, new commits can be added to the pull request and the comments are marked as outdated if that code was updated, when everything is OK developer B can press an "Approve" button and the branch can be merged.

I didn't know the president had a Twitch account.

>One of the streams in question was a rebroadcast of Trump’s infamous kickoff rally, where he said that Mexico was sending rapists to the United States. Twitch also flagged racist comments at Trump’s recent rally in Tulsa.

Oh, it was a channel for campaign rallies. That makes more sense.

But this puts us into deep hot water so far as content platforms go. This is removing the campaign content of a sitting president. For a platform to be unfavorable to on candidate over another as a matter of policy (whatsoever the official stated reasons may be) politicizes the platform, moves them into being "not a platform but a publisher". If there is to be any investigation of electoral meddling, it should be into the political bias of technology companies, and if Trump wins another term, that is likely exactly what will occur.

Exactly. Apple can choose to implement what they consider to be a safe interface for WebMIDI. Instead, they refuse all of it?

In my opinion, Apple has an incentive to keep the web crippled in some aspects, and this is just another symptom of that deeper underlying cause.
