I'd consider using a product like this and I don't give a shit about draconian politics. The issue is that remote work has downsides. One downside is dramatically less collaboration. I like collaborating with team-mates, not just drudging away by myself. If this could help create more of a spontaneous back and forth in-person feel, that could be valuable. I don't know how it would feel, I'd have to try it and see. But I think you and the other people in this thread are being way too negative and defensive. Not all of us love remote work and especially not the "remote work is better in every way for everybody and anyone who thinks otherwise is a reactionary" culture.
I kinda wonder about just having a no politics policy. Allow user reports... If N users report a post for being political, or it triggers some regex, penalize the post in some way. Facebook doesn't have to be about politics; Instagram wasn't for a long time, but with the onset of the BLM movement, I've seen my timeline filled to the brim with politics, and at one point, people were even saying that no one was even allowed to post non-political content because it shows how privileged you are to be ignoring the movement. I don't use Facebook for the politics... I just want to know what's going on in my friends lives. You can still have engagement without politics.

Bad/non existent policing definitely skyrockets the crime rate.

But once you have decent policing, I can believe other factors dominate.
No, it was in-house custom made for the purpose.

I've used the higher resolution model 1024, and I also chosen to generate the picture in advance. It's expensive to generate them realtime.
My issue with T480 is that a few tabs broke off when I opened the chasis to upgrade the RAM. And now the palmrest is cracked in two places. And the worst thing is that to replace the palm rest, I would have to literally unassemble the whole laptop.
that's a misdirection. most crimes are not emergencies, and policing encompasses much more than emergency response.

if policing were just, we'd see many more white-collar crimes like corruption, bribery, embezzlement, fraud, extortion, etc. being busted, because those crimes have much larger impact and wider fallout on communities and wider societies.
Why not work on your own project three days of the week and take the 5th one off (or work on it 4 days)? You're making serious money for a super easy job. You'd have to be insane to quit, especially if you're working from home. There's no reason why you can't work another job and do whatever you want there, use whatever technology, and develop whatever pleases you. Or pick up a hobby during the day. Or learn some new tech just for fun. Or any number of things. Why should your job be the primary source of satisfaction?
Not sure why I was downvoted, it’s absolutely true. SDE is not a meritocracy.
Unlikely.
At least not for domain modeling.

Especially in that industry where your domain is changing all the time, where regulations are changing all the time, where the ability to reason about your domain at different points in time is essential.

Having more flexible types like maps is one of the building blocks to avoid complexity (there are more, more important ones)

Learning Vivado for them was already mission impossible.

I've gotta read up on the staircase of mastery cause I am not familiar :D

When you say self-teaching you mean you're paying for certs/doing on your own time? Or work is paying on one hand but going out after it isn't seen as valuable on the other? I'm just curious but by no means am I saying that there's not just bad situations to get out of, just that discomfort and feeling like you're not doing well aren't _solely_ reasons to leave. Hope your situation improves though, sounds like you're doing the work.
There are definitely people working on this sort of thing. I recently read this conf paper on generating modified flags based on a topics (e.g. Cyprus + peace):

https://cdv.dei.uc.pt/ever-changing-flags/

Maybe not as technically exciting, as a super generic NN, but I think projects scoped like this are useful to think about.
It can vary highly from one half to the next, and changes with your teams, projects, etc. It can be extraordinarily rewarding to work on products that everyone you know uses every day. It can also be very frustrating and demoralizing to work on important components of the stack that noone inside or outside the company ever notices unless it breaks. The golden handcuffs are real, but most of FAANG gives you ample opportunity to switch teams and projects to find something to work on something that interests you, fulfills you, or lets you learn something that traditional companies would never let you work on unless you already had "industry experience". If you are proactive–and are "meeting expectations" in your current position–you almost certainly have the freedom to find something new whenever you start to get bored.
> Does the Big Bang Theory encourage violence against creationists?

Excellent point. There's much broader support for banning advocacy of violence, than for banning statements that offend the audience's religious sensibilities.

Perhaps a better example is speech that advocates abortion rights. Pro-life advocates consider such speech to incite murder; pro-abortion advocates don't.

I think this adds an interesting wrinkle to the hate-speech / censorship debate: It shows that even meta-rules meant to keep a discussion civil (i.e., we won't allow speech that advocates violence) aren't necessarily neutral to the viewpoints being discussed.
You just ignored the science in front of you and assumed countries like Sweden was because of the lock downs. When the maths doesn't add up. I don't think you even read my comment nor the paper as I didn't mention cases but mortality. If lock down is a reactionary process to cases then the different types of lock down should change the mortality.

Sweden, New York and UK are easily explained if look at the age range and location of deaths. It was the reaction of sending sick patients out to care homes.

Bringing up Sweden, you just cherry picked only it's Nordic neighbours, but it compares quite well, and normal, with the other European countries. If you look at the previous flu seasons for the Nordic countries you will see that Sweden had a few years of very low deaths, whilst the countries you cherry picked had a few years of high death. So Sweden's care homes were packed with more vulnerable people.

Prisons also further support the t-cell theory. People in prison don't get enough sunlight and vitamin-D, reducing their t-cell immunity. Also they are heavily weighted towards minorities who are more susceptible.

And since coronovirus are quite seasonal usually, and t-cell response changes with season, it's why we are seeing different cycles for the northern hemisphere, the southern hemisphere and the equatorial regions. USA is a big country, the northern states got hit first and now the southern states are matching the regions like Mexico. USA is so big you need to treat each state like it's own region and not generalise.

> The bug is simple enough: using JavaScript, you can identify the scrollbar width.

I thought it was accepted and strongly emphasized that running JavaScript in a Tor environment was insecure and could leak information in all sorts of ways, which is why Tor Browser came with NoScript enabled by default.

Is that no longer the case? Is there now an expectation that you should be able to safely run JS in Tor Browser without risk?
The article also mentions banning ip ranges and it's disadvantages. The described detection of Tor traffic seems to be more bullet proof and performant.

Hopefully the Tor devs consider the proposed enhancements to make the traffic less vulnerable to identification. As he already digged into the source code, maybe it's easier when he submits a PR for a higher chance to fix the issue.
I am developing a site where the landing page only shows news about topics from sources you have chosen to see. There will be some limited interaction with those news stories. On a shared page, everything is brought together and you'll see what news sources other people are reading.

I am hoping this allows people to get the news they want, interact with it and see what news other people are interacting with... without the flame wars and hate brigades that Twitter and FB prompt
The point is that the technology needs data. If crime is very low it is difficult to gather enough meaningful data.

But perhaps a counterpoint is that if crime is high maybe there is no need to use algorithms to tell you which areas are worse...

Overall, I'm thinking that the value of this technology is to use enough data to detect any trends or patterns that are not obvious and would likely go undetected otherwise.
If you're doing class='centered' or class='with_padding', I don't see any reason not to just do style='align-self:center;' or style='padding: 1rem;' instead. The class names communicate less (Is that centering the content of the element, or the element itself? Is that vertical or horizontal centering, or both? Is the text being centered?). And it doesn't allow you to make sitewide changes like a semantic class does (You might want to change all .blog-title elements from centered to left-aligned, but do you really want to change all .centered elements from centered to left-aligned?). I'd go so far as to say this is an antipattern.

Except:

* Still need oil / change spark plugs / timing belts / all the ICE junk

* But have a degrading battery like an EV

* Have weight of both ICE and EV at the same time

* Deal with legacy dealer network (slimey sales, have to pay a big cut to dealers)

* There are an entire 5k being made for the entire US (vs 400k? Model Ys), so you can't even get one if you want one (source: https://electrek.co/2020/06/30/toyota-cuts-output-of-rav4-pr...) . IF you can find one, expect to pay 5-10k over sticker price.

So a little bit of worse of both worlds.

Kyua: An Introduction for NetBSD Users
I couldn't shake the image of Twitter being an enthusiast, cool kids, wordsmiths only type platform from my head. Probably because I had an account since when Twitter servers couldn't take it and used to display a dolphin image(But, don't check my Twitter account, I didn't use it much) although I knew Twitter is not that anymore.

So, I always told to myself that like most other enthusiast platforms Twitter is struggling to make money unlike Facebook where its users don't care about non-contextual ads as long as its attractive and Facebook will go to any length to get a click on the Ad even if it means they are from a click farm from Philipines, Bangladesh, India; its advertisers didn't seem to mind as long as the 'Page Like' count increased.

But then, after I started using Reddit; I thought this is never going to make any money as it is a much more enthusiast platform than Twitter and every subreddit is a platform on its own where non-context content will be brushed aside. Then when Reddit introduced 'Awards', it blew me away; it seems like they have figured out the best possible way to monetise their platform. I don't know how much revenue it has brought to Reddit, but I could calculate some threads having thousands of dollars worth of awards almost every other day i.e. Normal users paying money for Internet commendation.

Twitter needs to figure out what's its equivalent for Reddit awards without compromising its integrity and becoming a Facebook.

Yes, copy left is really your best bet. While 'technically' not open source, there is also parity ( https://licensezero.com/licenses/parity ) which I think brings a few interesting ideas to this space. All of those options make It harder for your open source users though.
Some companies have "competency matrixes" (or "growth matrixes") which show what's expected at each level.
These can be helpful - showing that whilst a Junior person might just be expected to fix a bug, a more senior person may actively seek similar bugs, add test-cases etc.
This is great at setting the scene as "how to level up" rather than of negative feedback.

Is it true that failing to ban is the source of the divisiveness? I haven't used Facebook before, but it seems like the mechanism is the feed, which prioritizes divisive content.

Even as a relatively senior employee, you may be unable to discern intent. You might just get an incentive scheme that compensates you for engagement rather than profitable engagement.
Thanks so much! Yes, we totally understand we're not going after all remote workers but there's a large set of people like you we want to help.
Facebook really had two periods because it was limited scale prior to mid-2006, when the number of users grew dramatically.

I think the more important point is really the advertising angle: taking a bunch of small communities and giving them high-quality hosting powered by a billion dollar company along with a pre-developed audience.

If they're willing to do the integration and support work on their own, then it shouldn't be a roadblock, and they should be able to prove the impact that it offers to other engineers and be rewarded if they did all of the work.
And some moderation. 4chan wasn't ever going to attract ad revenue because nobody at Coca-Cola wants their brand run alongside a goatse link.

But massive political fights aren't something that the advertisers (until recently) see as bad imagery for their brands.

I can't see why. Invaders must report to the crown, and be very precise about what they were seeing, each city, each wall and each new culture or useful plant. Historians have many particularly detailed reports about this historical period.

Nice work! It's fun to play with. How do you make it reasonably performant without a backend that costs much? I've thought it'd be fun to do stuff like this, but I wouldn't want to have server costs that exceed the price of a netflix subscription, so never really publically share the fun things I build. I'm assuming your backend is doing the heavy lifting here.
- creating your own party

- still getting nowhere

I don't know why I'm even writing this, I'm just really tired of seeing the political class being untouchable (and that's not exclusive to the US).

I remember a guy in my country doing all of what you wrote, getting as far as organizing a political party, which was promptly absorbed into one of the three biggest parties, never to be heard from again.

This isn't democracy. It's der'mocracy (my favorite Russian portmanteau, means shitocracy).
It's pretty well documented in the Federalist Papers. I recommend reading them in their entirety, because it's IMO one of the most profound writings of political exposition in written history, even if you disagree with the philosophies being promoted.

Federalist No. 10[1] is probably one of the most highly regarded of the papers, and explicitly lays out these concerns. Selected quotes:

"AMONG the numerous advantages promised by a well-constructed Union, none deserves to be more accurately developed than its tendency to break and control the violence of faction. The friend of popular governments never finds himself so much alarmed for their character and fate, as when he contemplates their propensity to this dangerous vice."

"Complaints are everywhere heard from our most considerate and virtuous citizens, equally the friends of public and private faith, and of public and personal liberty, that our governments are too unstable, that the public good is disregarded in the conflicts of rival parties, and that measures are too often decided, not according to the rules of justice and the rights of the minor party, but by the superior force of an interested and overbearing majority."

"By a faction, I understand a number of citizens, whether amounting to a majority or a minority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of interest, adversed to the rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community."

"If a faction consists of less than a majority, relief is supplied by the republican principle, which enables the majority to defeat its sinister views by regular vote. It may clog the administration, it may convulse the society; but it will be unable to execute and mask its violence under the forms of the Constitution. When a majority is included in a faction, the form of popular government, on the other hand, enables it to sacrifice to its ruling passion or interest both the public good and the rights of other citizens."

"From this view of the subject it may be concluded that a pure democracy, by which I mean a society consisting of a small number of citizens, who assemble and administer the government in person, can admit of no cure for the mischiefs of faction. A common passion or interest will, in almost every case, be felt by a majority of the whole; a communication and concert result from the form of government itself; and there is nothing to check the inducements to sacrifice the weaker party or an obnoxious individual. Hence it is that such democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths."

Hamilton also talks a little bit about this phenomenon in Federalist No. 68, and Federalist No. 62 lays out the impetus for having an equally represented Senate (which is inherently undemocratic), part of which was to check the immediate impulses/passions of the people, as can be the case with the House of Representatives.

This is the point the article was trying to make! Coding is not the same thing as understanding requests and translating them in to software. Someone who is doing that (e.g. a software engineer) will be able to make use of a bot that can "code".
