The "everyone I don't like is a racist" debate strategy isn't a good look, but "every conservative is racist" is just pathetic.

There was literally zero racist activity on The_Donald. The mods were very transparent and showed EVERY ACTION once they hit quarantine (to show they didn't deserve to be quarantined). The only racist posts came from new accounts / people who had never posted in The_Donald that were immediately removed by mods.

I posted on cth periodically and while I think it was banned largely so the admins could claim "balance" I don't care at all. Nothing serious happened there, the daily chat threads were fun, but it was clearly eventually going to be banned and I knew that and didn't get invested.

I have to fight this tendency in myself: I'm as anti-liberal as they come, but I do happen to agree with a handful of "liberal" positions such as abortion, drug legalization and immigration. But from time to time I catch myself disagreeing with the messenger so much I almost forget I actually agree with the message.

IMO the 'heavy censorship' is the only thing keeping hobby communities going well. Without that moderation, you'd be trying to learn about something fun like knitting but you'd see a bunch of hateful content, like racist MAGA stuff instead of knitting for example.

Having the moderation get stronger is the only way to save hobby subreddits IMO.
[citation desperately needed]. Environment matters, but if every infectee in such an environment triggered a superspreading event, R would be much, much higher. There's clearly some significant other reason infectivity is overdistributed.
>Instead they went for the big-star tactics that really doesn't work.

Which demonstrates their failure to understand why YouTube is so successful in this space. YouTube is all about making millions of videos that satisfy the niche interests of billions of individuals, while Hollywood is about making hundreds of things to satisfy the broad interest of billions.

They would have been better served by building up a pipeline for identifying and cultivating new talent. Six million dollars would probably pay for a lot of content created by some attractive college-aged nobodies with a little bit of training. And at least some of that is bound to be a hit.
The work is not equivalent, and that's stated in the article:

With dynamic linking the cost of linking is deferred until runtime, and parts of the linking process can be done lazily, or not at all, as functions are actually called

Anecdotally Google's build system Bazel makes good use of the same thing for tests. The article also mentions that issue:

That includes every time you rebuild to run a test.

I don't remember the details since it was long time ago, but dynamic linking is a huge win here because of the lazy linking. The first function call is slow but the rest are fast. Loading is faster because you never call most functions.

Rust seems to have a static dependency problem similar to Google's from 10 years ago (a big pyramid shape rather than using dependency inversion).

edit: related post about the Chrome/Ninja build:

http://neugierig.org/software/blog/2012/07/gyp-toc.html

Here's one cool hack. You can, by flipping a flag, instead build this tree of libraries as shared objects. The result isn't something you'd ship to users, but it speeds up linking time during development considerably as you're passing smaller subsets of the files to the linker at a time.

This leads to a cooler optimization. When you change one source file deep within the tree, naturally you need to rebuild its object file, then the library, and then rebuild any binary that depends on the library ...

So instead, when building a shared object we write out both the shared object and "table of contents" file (generated with readelf etc.) that lists all the functions exposed by the resulting library. Then make dependent binaries only rebuild when the table of contents changes.
I find it wierd what some Americans consider to be communist. A communist is not somebody who advocates for

* equal rights for all people independent
of ethnic origin, skin color, gender or
religion
* public transit
* universal access to health care
* affordable higher education
* affordable housing
* or even wealth redistribution via taxes,
for example via welfare or a guaranteed
minimum income

A Communist is somebody who advocates for

* collectivization of the means of production

I'm not quite sure there are many actual Communists in the US.

> Quibi’s signature “Turnstyle” technology, which allowed content to flow from portrait view to landscape and back again seamlessly on your phone, is tied up in a patent lawsuit with a deep-pocketed hedge fund.

Seems like this minimizes the seriousness a bit. The deep pocketed hedge fund is Elliott Management and they are basically gunning for the whole company. They're working with the original patent holder and bankrolling the law suit process.

Elliott (Paul Singer) are not stupid and they don't play nice. If they are stepping into bankroll this lawsuit then they obviously see something and the lawsuit should be considered an existential threat to Quibi. Singer strikes fear into sovereign nations so a couple media execs are going to be small potatoes.
IDK, the internet of that era was a pretty toxic place. Sexism and racism were rampant, such that many people I know IRL simply refused to participate in most internet spaces (including HN). This gave the impression that those viewpoints were mainstream, but that was never the case. I don't think losing out on so many voices of people who don't want to be around that stuff is worth it.
https:// thedonald . win will probably get more new users after this, because many of the news articles talking about the ban are linking to them (either directly or indirectly)
Interestingly even before this ban, there has been a movement (at least by armchair critics in Social Media) to uninstall Chinese apps. People started installing this unknown app "Remove china apps" to get rid of the apps that Chinese phone makers like Xiomi does not let you remove.

People started removing Chinese apps not because of national security but because they thought it would stop boosting Chinese economy which in turn will come as defense budget

Bigger question is how do you stop the market penetration of mobiles like Oppo/Vivo/Xiomi etc and all the Startups like Ola/Flipkart which is backed by Chinese investment.

So, why moderate a public forum?

Why should platform owners decide what's right and what's wrong? If something is legal then why should we censor it just because it may seem hateful to someone, or somebody feels offended? So what if a post offends somebody? They can deal with it like an adult. Ignore the trolls, and discuss if there is a discussion, offending or not.

If people want a safe private place with no intruders, then they can create a closed/invite-only group and moderate it themselves.
The US however could enact privacy laws, which could force TikTok into compliance.
Meanwhile LateStageCapitalism is up and running, whereas they as Marxists openly support genocide, they consider that it's needed in order to successfully deploy a dictatorship of the proletariat.

But this is all intended, all institutions, places, and platforms that have been hijacked by Marxists will openly say to you that you have free speech: you're free to speak in support of Marxism, or you're free to not speak at all. Speaking against is a hate speech and you'll be labeled as bigot/racist/nazi/fascist. And everyone who dares to speak against risk their lives, risk their careers, risk being ostracized in universities, risk being banned, being shadowbanned, being flagged, being demonetized, and so on.
The solution mentioned at the start of the article is what distribution package maintainers have been doing for decades. I would take this account as a giant flashing warning sign of what could happen to the flatpak/snap ecosystem, and also a flashing warning sign for languages that are developing their own package manager, especially if it is difficult for packages from the language package manager to be integrated into actual system level package managers. The curation effort required to get NPM into manageable shape is almost certainly beyond the scope of any traditional community effort.
"Increasing rapidly by a large amount" is reasonable usage.

does the sentence "Disasters would be magnified increasing rapidly by a large amount" make sense though? With a little word shuffling you can get something that at least comes out as coherent, but can you make it convey an idea more complex or more clearly than "disasters would be a lot worse"?

Nuanced word selection can add clarity that would be difficult to achieve with more basic vocabulary, but too often people use wordgasms to confuddle the person they are trying to communicate with and make an otherwise vacuous statement appear more legitimate.
In that case we're basically just down to more efficient and faster reading swabbing.

It's also questionable if getting everyone to put their lips on and then breathe into the same tube is a good virus containment strategy.
Also a website you approve of today can be totally different tomorrow without you knowing of the change. The domain can expire, be picked up by scammers/spammers/porn hosters and you've given them the access to things you wouldn't intend to.
> I only don't like HATEOAS. The rest of REST is fine,

There is no "rest of REST" once you omit HATEOAS. That assertion makes absolutely no sense. HATEOAS is the whole basis of REST. If you take HATEOAS away, all you get is plain old RPC.

> The DOM thing was answered ably by u/gridlockd

That response is packed with errors and misconceptions. Instead of paying attention to echos of your errors you would do better to discover what REST and HATEOAS actually is, because both of you have repeatedly shown that your grasp on the subject needs a lot of work to iron out a lot of basic misconceptions.

> in a modern web app you won't necessarily see links in the resources fetched by JS -- you might need to know how to transform that content into links (if there are any),

That is the sort of comment that makes it quite clear that you have no idea of what you're talking about. Resources and resources representations are not platform-dependent or even format-dependent. REST is not making a fetch(), and HATEOAS is not a HTML document with <a> tags. REST is an architecture style defined by HATEOAS. It doesn't care about HTTP or TCP or even IP. It cares about resources and resources representations, and cares about link relations associated with resources. What you decide to do with JavaScript is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is what are your resources and where are the link relations, and HTML or JavaScript plays no role in any of the concepts.

That's right. Who defines hate speech? Where do you draw the line? I guess as soon as one incites violence no matter what side of the political spectrum it is from, that is out of order.
It can certainly help tracking but the measure is very coarse. Basically an enum of 6 values.
Covid cases are on rise in India. Government didn't handle lockdown well to accommodate guest (migrant) workers and they were stranded. On top of all these, lives of Indian soldiers died recently in a clash with Chinese soldiers and China is continuously testing limits at Galwan Valley. You need a disruptive breaking news to crush all these and prove Government is in control. This is simply that. This is nothing but fueling the anti-China sentiment growing in the country. This will temporarily relieve government from answering the other growing concerns.

It's also quite ironic that so many companies with strong Chinese funding are still operating. Chinese smartphone makers are also doing great in India despite economic slowdown. OnePlus recently did a flash sale and sold out.

It'll be interesting to see what's going to happen in Long term. But this one, it's just a spicy headlines.
Before reddit banned TD, they had a sticky post documenting timeline of reddit’s assault and archived proofs of same behavior by other subs.

Specifically, initial quarantine was imposed in a response of an user’s comment saying something like “kill the cops”, which was deleted by TD moderators, but reddit quarantined TD anyway for “calls for violence”. TD has collected and archived links to similar comments in other subs like r/politics which didn’t lead to quarantine of those subs.

India is absolutely right in banning TikTok as it is a significant national securities threat.

As long as the platforms recommendation and ranking algos are a black box, there is no guarantee that China isn’t conducting misinformation campaigns via the platform.

At the very least, the government should audit the algos and make sure China can’t arbitrarily alter ranking results.
Hm, I guess my outgoings are around the 500 mark, which makes it much easier to swallow.

The difference* of course is that none of those people have real political power, Democrats are not trying to appease them. The far left aren't the force behind a Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer. Those on r/the_donald are Trump's base, the one's that he tries to appease.

The issue is more pronounced when applied to online communities. We have to assume there are individual members of any online community both breaking and following the rules. What is the threshold of rule breaking that triggers a blanket deactivation of an entire group?

The rights of social media companies are so vaguely defined now. Can they escape this crisis without anti-trust litigation or a Supreme Court ruling on the fundamental rights of companies when hosting content online?

Like I said before, economics of paying too high to attract people to rural America simply doesn't work out. The example I was talking about was a salary of $130K with benefits in KY. That was with stretching out all of our budget and months of project delays. We finally had to hire a consulting firm that probably hired H1Bs to finish the job.

I intentionally left out the part about "remote work". The thing about it is that, it took a pandemic to make people realize that remote work is okay. And even then, even in Silicon Valley, a lot of firms and the employees are still not comfortable with it. I don't think you've worked with a lot of folks out in not so urban states and cities, but there is an even bigger aversion to remote work. Plus, there are parts of government regulations that require you to be physically present in specific locations. There is a reason why these jobs don't get shipped abroad and instead you bring people in to work here.
PWAs run from the browser sandbox which is generally much stricter than restrictions for native apps. Permission systems for native applications seems to be starting to follow browsers (flatpak, snap, .appx, etc.), but don't offer nearly the ability to restrict what a native app can do like the browser does.

In theory native apps are "trusted", but I think for the vast majority of users the trust between a companies website and app are equivalent, vetted the same, and probably do an equivalent amount of tracking if not more by the native app (facebook SDKs are pretty common in native mobile apps).
Just like you'd buy coffee with Fair Trade [1] mark, one way to incentivize the public would be through marketing - "Made in Democracy" mark on a laptop, a lathe-machine, a watch or what have you.

We should have a non-profit org that promotes manufacturing in democracies. From shirts to iOS apps, it would be interesting to experiment with a "Made in Democracy" or "Developed in Democracy" mark.

I ran this idea through a manufacturing consultant in SF and they were very receptive of it.

They're not.

Not only is "The only good Tory is a dead Tory" not a popular refrain at all [1], but a quick search for "The only good Republican is a dead Republican" returns a lot of hits for the "[...] dead Democrat" quote and almost none for the search phrase.

These attempts at false equivalence reliably appear in these situations, and there's reliably nothing to back them up.

The difference is the right is trying very hard to move the Overton Window and make "[...] dead Democrat" an acceptable mainstream sentiment suitable for national news.

[1] You certainly won't hear it from any left-leaning MPs or in Labour constituency meetings. And if that weren't true, recordings would be all over the media.

> We all know reddit leans a bit left

Do we? I think reddit 'leans a bit right' if anything. Especially in the city-level subreddits or country-level, or communities like that, there is (in my experience) a heavy-handed right-leaning attitude. I noticed this about 10 years ago and it has gotten much much more pronounced. The subreddit r/canada turned extreme-far-right about 10 years ago. Most of the cities I live in downvote left-leaning posts instantly.

I don't think reddit was ever left-leaning in the past and I don't think it is now, either. Sure, left-wing views are posted, sometimes upvoted and tolerated, but I do not think they are the majority.

I consider myself left-wing but feel unwelcome in most subreddits due to my opinions. I'll post anyway, but, it's not a left-leaning site at all IMO.
If you replace platform by country, this logic doesn't work though.
