The how is simple - 50 people on a semi-private system is a totally different league than Reddit, with millions of users and public. Similar to your 4-rules stance, Reddit has Reddiquette and Content Policy and for the most part, people obey the policy. It's at the fringes where there are problems. It's not the one Satanist that's the issue, it's when there are large groups of members in the Church of Satan who don't get along with members of the Satanic Temple who don't get along with fringe Scientologists. (Because mainstream Scientology wasn't kooky enough for them.) And then trying to force them to split a pie that's not big enough for everyone to have a slice.

50 people is 48 more members than are in my video game clan, so I can admire the community building. The problem space changes drastically when scaling up though.
Jenkins is a cancer.
Android Java != Java so no credit needed to be given. Though Google does make Java contributions in other libraries and projects which is very welcome by the community!
I agree that it doesn't necessarily always devolve into hate speech but, anecdotally, every community I've seen without heavy moderation eventually devolves into low effort meme posts, and sometimes hateful content. For example, r/gaming vs r/games. The pattern repeats itself all over reddit.
It is coordinated. Remember when Alex Jones got banned from literally everything on the same day?

The reddit bans wave was leaked in advance. The more actors involved in a coordinated action the harder it is to keep a secret.

>>The only thing that the first amendment provides you with is freedom from prosecution by the government for statements you make

I agreed with you until this point. You seem to make the common miskate many "but it is private company" people make.

Free Speech is not limited to the 1st amendment. The concept of Free Expression exist outside of the US Constitution

If society does not have respect for Free Expression (and clearly we no longer do) then the constitution can not protect that. The law, and the constitution is simply a reflection of society, at some point if society demands it the 1st amendment will be modified or abolished

This is why intrusions on the concept in wider society also should be opposed not simply only opposing legal intrusions on speech

For YT and other "platforms" the issue is the fact they market themselves as open to everyone, open to all speech, open to all ideas. Even if in 6pt font in legalese they give them selves the authority to suppress any speech they dislike

This IMO is a Deceptive Business practice, if nothing else. YT should have Clearly define, very objected rules around content that are CLEARLY displayed that every reasonable person should be able to understand, and when content is banned they should point to the exact rule that was violated in the suppression notification

Finally one can disagree with YT censorship with out demanding the law come in to stop them. I am generally not in favor of government intervention in YT, I am in favor of Sec 230 Reform (or rather abolishment) and I am in favor of people speaking out agaist YT Censorship. but I would not want some kind content regulation by the government
It isn’t perfect. Most major subs uphold a reasonable measure of decorum. It’s a big place, I am sure you can find examples of everything you see on TD.win. The point is Reddit is trying to enforce its rules and maintain reasonable standards (IMO)
You're absolutely right that I am doing a certain amount of "searching under the spotlight", here. The metrics I measured were the ones I had the information and computational power to measure. You want to see how many "low trust" packages there are -- me too! But what does that mean? How do I find them? That is, in essence, the problem I'm describing. If I could solve it, believe me, the post would have been about that, instead :)

I do propose, towards the end, a network-of-trust score -- but I don't think that's something a single person can implement today; it requires social work.

(I am sorry you feel I didn't explain why deep dependency trees are a problem -- my premise is based on the desire to assess packages for if they are appropriate to include in a project, and I do mention why deep and broad trees make that harder. Circular dependencies I specifically say aren't a problem; they're just disconcerting to me.)
And that is usually enough to placate Westerners. Even if, say, the "different sides" are just different heads of the same snake, which is often the case.

The only two political parties in the US, for instance, differ remarkably little in terms of foreign policy and labor rights. Headlines in major US media will virtually never indicate there is any significant room for debate here. The public is satisfied with the false dichotomy of "raise military budget by $100B" vs. "raise military budget by $200B".
all those software already have already proven that.
Yes. Also negotiated to get lower rent on the new place. You can probably negotiate with your current landlord if you threaten to leave (of course you have to be willing to move).
While I'm willing to engage in debate I don't see reductio ad absurdum as a valid argument.
Thoughts and prayers

The same can be said of companies like FB and GOOG. They operate black boxes with little scrutiny from society.
I have an easy answer to that: Youtube has more users than there are people in US. If you had a service that was used by whole of US, shouldn't that be public?

Imagine there was a single food stall in the entire US. Should you allow food stall which is really controlled by a few share holders and executives at the top to decide whom to feed or not?

Again, the problem is not huge platforms banning toxic people. It's that only a minority has a final say on who gets censored. That's not me, that's not you and many of the hners here.

Edit: I am not saying this in defense of people in the post. I think they are terrible people. I think we can't help some of them but we should help whoever we can by offering rehabilitation and therapy. Many of the viewers of those channels and conspiracy theories need help. Censoring them without lending help to them in any way to improve them always backfires.
Usenet and killfiles.

In the olden days (when NNTP was a more popular protocol), almost anyone could post almost anything to almost any group. There was moderation, but mostly in more focused groups or announcement-centric groups where replies were not expected. To moderate, you, yourself, added people and subjects to your own kill file. This meant that the platform was mostly free of censorship, but the participants could choose to engage or not with trolls or charged topics. If they chose to disengage, they simply wouldn't see it. Like going on /. and setting a filter level of 5 for viewable comments.
I think another problem is that there are too many people learning a language while simultaneously writing tutorials. Maybe its an ego thing, but it nearly always leaves behind a tutorial full of mistakes and bad practices.

For example, search for Common Lisp tutorials and you'll find dozens of unfinished ones - many pretending they are manuscripts for books that will never end up being published. It seems that they get far enough into their own tutorial that they discover their prior errors, but were too lazy to go back and correct them. Add the word "Quantum" to the search, and you'll get nothing but utter crap in terms of tutorials or even basic information, because it is the people just learning about the subject, and passing off their personal learning notes as authoritative information when they are literally the musings of a beginning student.

So there is a tonne of garbage out there that is either unfinished, or written by people who didn't know the language at the time they were writing the tutorials, and didn't bother revising their work or having it reviewed by people who actually do know the subject matter.

That's 99% of the Common Lisp, and 100% of the Quantum Lisp tutorials out there, anyway. Shove a tut out and then hope for accolades as if you are a real author and educator - great for the resume, and terrible for everything else.
Ugh. Those are awful.
Exactly, what primary distinction with "tech" company versus what it actually does is its investors.

If the investors are known for hockey stick growth tech startups, your company is a tech company even if you are just long real estate.
Only the translation teams use SVN (and perhaps some very old websites, but I think most if not all of them have been moved to git). All the code lives on git, instead.

Because people discover their own limitations sooner or later.

They don't have the time, they don't have enough skill, the problem is something they haven't dealt with before etc etc.

Once you get to that stage, the door opens automatically and corporate robots and corporate culture enter the story.

Stick this on a fridge - No one really wants to deal with shit forever. Especially after it hits the fan again and again and again.

After you learn that you can hire someone else to do it then there is no turning back.

Oh thats the 3rd employee having some psychological issue above my pay grade to deal with, well time to a hire a HR person for baby sitting duties. Oh the product team is doing a great job but not generating any revenue but you like them all and don't know how to tell them to work on shit, time to hire someone else who has no problem doing it. Oh these sales deals need someone to pander and sit the whole day outside the offices of douchebags well time to hire a "proper" sales team. Ooh man we paid the govt 200K extra in taxes cause we didnt know about clause 18 on page 4300, time to hire a "serious" accountant from a slightly larger firm to keep the books, who will then tell you things need to get more corporate around here or he will quit. And you sigh and say okay Bob you win.
Company-states and the creation of the global international system
Agreed. It'd be nice if we could have some kind of confirmation.
google legal frequently shares information with legal departments from other tech companies when it comes to moderating/acting upon content/users. in fact, the big tech companies' legal teams share information pretty regularly as they all deal with the same legal hurdles e.g. users from north korea, cuba, ITAR, etc.

it wouldn't surprise me if there was an informal discussion and a decision by google led others to also take action.
Not sure why you're getting down voted. HN users once again mistaking disagreement for "comment doesn't provide quality debate"
Except gamers do not care about Steam being a monopoly (they are just a distributor and does not set prices), but would really be hurt if Epic and exclusivity of titles starts to take hold.
YouTube and, more specifically, it's advertisers do everything that you're accusing China of

YouTube and its advertisers aren't countries, and aren't engaged in recent, deadly military skirmishes with India.

> However, US is not about expansionism

I love how the world paints China as an aggressive power while conveniently forgetting the completely unjustified and unwarranted invasion of Iraq by America.

From a neutral POV, China has only 'invaded' some islands. America has toppled governments and literally occupied sovereign nations - all under the guise of "national security".

And it all happened in the distant past of just 17 years ago

Always consult a lawyer. I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice, but if you are paying the difference, then why would the government care if the consumer paid less? There are probably countries where doing this can cause problems, audits, book keeping issues, etc... For sure, ask a lawyer.
I dont think people would have flocked to these platforms if they'd known that they'd be banned for politically incorrect speech down the road.
All the voices are within the Overton window though.
FB and GOOG don't have troops stationed on India's border.
Power to weight ratio is also interesting for a vehicle, not just power per volume. Some variant of the Rocket Equation must come into play because you need stored power to carry around your stored power.

> not really grounds for a national ban on the basis of security

All Chinese companies are completely at the mercy of CCP. No two ways about it. If tomorrow a War does break out between India and China, then the CCP can utilize these apps to spread propaganda to influence Indian public against the Government. Foreign interference is grounds for strengthening National Security. And this ban is not from the Government alone. Indians have literally been demanding a boycott of Chinese apps and goods for well over a year now! So it is actually the Government which has acted late!

You can read more about it here: https://www.thequint.com/tech-and-auto/tech-news/tiktok-app-...

It is not easy to get an app rating to go down from 4.9/5 to 1.3 within few days on Google Play Store when it has close to 1.5 billion downloads. You can imagine the anger among the Indian public.
I guess this has to be expected these days. This is not a small, tight knit community and there seems to be a part of the general population who revels in this kind of comments.

But I see far more of them on other platforms, for example in comments sections on news sites.

The fact that the most egregious ones get downvoted quickly here is something that speaks in favor of this community, I would say.
This weekend "someone" was asserting TikTok was extremely malicious, but a lot of things in it raised red flags for me. I wrote up details about the supposed malicious action, and got a little discussion going over on this thread, but it hasn't gotten traction so far:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23679649

TL;DR: A tweet posts photos of "someone on reddit" saying they had analyzed the TikTok client and it was sending all sorts of data and able to execute .zip downloads, etc. Reddit thread has the poster saying "I'd provide proof, but it's in a soldered on SSD in a broken computer."
CI, issue tracker, pull requests, etc.

T-Mobile offers it free with cell phone service. I'm still not interested enough to bother with it.

Because it takes far more effort to carefully rebut a slur than it does to make it, and if you let it stands as is, you've lent it credibility. We all intuitively understand this, which is why overt arguments in favor of crimes against children (which arguments do occur!) are instantly flagged off the site; we don't entertain them or carefully rebut them, and practically no one on the site expects us to. It's just that a noisome faction on the site does expect us to entertain slurs against women.
>But can Tesla sustain any sort of real battery manufacturing advantage over China?

We think a lot about developing better car batteries, but car batteries are fine -- if the world had to live with 300-mile ranges, it would probably not be the end of prosperity. What we need are grid batteries, which are the only realistic replacement for fossil fuel power plants -- sorry, nuclear alone, while a valuable part of a future grid, won't handle variable loads.

Grid batteries are a commodity. By contrast these increasingly efficient car batteries are basically a luxury product. Unfortunately capitalism won't normally allocate many resources towards something with low profit margins, but the Chinese government will. Whether or not Tesla can keep up with China at making toys, it is no remedy for the lack of action by our own governments to provide technologies Tesla can't make money off of.
The fact that it all happened on the same day does imply some kind of coordination though.
So how do they deal with (what seems to me) basic functionality that the Gitlab community edition is missing? Like for example linking issues as related?
> It's not the one Satanist that's the issue

The one Satanist(cos) is me, so that's definitely not the problem ;)

edit: I agree that scaling might end up being an issue. Some other clans are run with much stricter rules and it seems to work well for them (one I know of is run like a paramilitary organization and has thousands of members). I wanted to experiment by going in the opposite direction and letting people be who they are and just cut loose at the end of the day.
Your own data shows that you are just plain wrong. Percent positives at the beginning of the month are 4%. Number of tests have skyrocketed, if true cases are flat, then percent positive would plummet. Instead they have almost doubled to 7%. Your supposed lack of emotion is BS. You obviously have some internal or external motivation to believe there isn't a problem when there clearly is one. I live in the mountains in NorCal, there ain't a case around. However, as a one-time virologist (it's been almost two decades since I published a peer reviewed paper on SARS-1), I can assure you there is no chance that you are correct in your "hypothesis" that "Covid is not getting worse in CA."
The dismal tech
That's missing the forest for the trees... advocating for a "white ethnostate" is not the only thing that makes you a white supremacist and that's the real crux of the comparison. Making the distinction doesn't change the fact that he is rightfully lumped in with them on the basis of being a white supremacist. There is more nuance to Molyneux than David Duke, but he's made his views on the subject pretty clear.
You are spreading baseless, racist speculation.
>I'm seeing these kind of titles (what every X programmer should know about Y) quite frequently which seems like the trend

Some call it a "snowclone". (Previous comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19072271)

It's a headline writing rhetorical device that's been with us even before computers. E.g. newspaper headlines.
One interesting about being in the technology field, is that it can make you better in any sphere, as you can pick up the software quicker or write code to make things better, or simply can technically analyze things as a strength. Also, project planning and dealing with abstract ideas.

Tech is crazy in that it enhances you in a lot of areas that apply in numerous ways in the modern world.
Wow that guy's an idiot. He actually claims the Iraq War was a failure because Iraqis have IQs in the 80s and are therefore incapable of accepting democracy.

Racism aside, if you've done even a bit of reading on IQ you know it's been rising for decades if not longer. His Jeffersonian Democracy was built by people with an IQ that would be in the 80s today.
The principle of free speech is older than the United States government.

Yeah, they're both very racist, to the level of supposing that that white society is inherently superior. The first quote implies a the existence of a conspiracy to lower white birthrates. The second states clearly that Iraqi people would not be capable of forming a just society due to "low IQ". These are definitionally white supremacist talking points.

What's the game implemented in TTL?
It's not about the legalities. It's about whether we have the kind of society that fights bad ideas by showing why they're wrong, or fights bad ideas by screaming and blocking them. These bans seem very much like part of a trend towards the second kind of society.
