Man, I wish we had similar culture. But multinational corp where IT is viewed as purely an annoying cost centre, every day is meeting day. On top of 100% project allocation (3 in parallel), which run side by side various maintenance/troubleshooting/support roles. On top of that any production issue takes first seat. I skip what I can, but there are limits.

Recently tried pair programming, it was a joke. Or I wish it was, rather a frustrating experience for both parties. Maybe one day virtual reality will take it closer to real experience, but we were far away from that.

No it's not. Nothing should be undiscussable.
Given that most of our jobs are 'Bullshit Jobs'[1], I guess it doesn't really matter if we are 'productive' or 'creative' enough. WFH can give us real productive time elsewhere - like spending time with family or friends, on hobbies and so on.

Free speech includes hate speech.

Not in the United States. See e.g. this unanimous high court decision https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/201...

I understand not everybody is fully supportive of liberal ideas like free speech. But there shouldn't be any confusion about what it means. Telling somebody that the Holocaust didn't happen is indubitably an example of free speech.

Strangely I have found myself to talk more to strangers and having a good laugh and chats with random people since the pandemic has unfolded. I think the reason is because where I live (London) there has been less people on the street, in shops, bars and so on, so the people who do go out are more likely to chat with others like myself. It’s kind of funny, people who are just out and about and getting in with their normal life have no real fear of the virus or most of them (like myself) already had it and therefore have little reason to follow any guidelines. It’s like a self selection process of all people who have a rather similar view on the pandemic which are mostly economically active and meet nowadays at public places. I kind of enjoy it if there wasn’t the bitter aftertaste of seeing lots of livelihoods being crushed and many shops and restaurants at the brink of collapse.
The NPD all but ceased to exist in the last couple of years. The AfD had one internal group dissolve itself because it was classified as an unconstitutional radical group (Der Flügel).

I think Nadella deserves a lot of credit for this strategy and Ballmer deserves a lot of criticism for his really wrong windows at all costs strategy that held MSFT back for years.

I don't think anyone is doubting that increased efficiency and better technology is going to be a bad thing in the long run. The main concern seems to be people not wanting to spend the money upfront to invest in this. And it's not just the climate - we're burning money repairing obsolete infrastructure because 30 years ago no one wanted to pay for proper updates. If it doesn't pay off before the next election, it's a non-starter.

"Maker Days" sound like a great idea but they don't fit every company. At my place the eng department is far from the biggest team and we do a lot of cross-team work.

> There is ample evidence for this comparison:

Among the problems with your evidence is that it all concerns Leninist and their ideological descendants. While capitalists tend to accept the Leninist propaganda that Leninism is Marxism, non-Leninist Marxists have, from very early in the existence of Leninism, viewed it as a departure, and even characterized it as “state capitalism”.

So, even to the extent that it represents a general problem with Leninism, and also generalizes to a broader category, whether the right broader category is “Marxist” or “capitalist” or something else is a matter itself of ideological dispute that would require additional evidence to answer in any objective fashion, if that is even possible.
> Users subject to the negative effects of these malicious applications incorrectly believe that Microsoft and Windows are the source of their computing device problems. There is great risk that users may attribute this problem to Microsoft and associate these problems with Microsoft’s Windows products, thereby diluting and tarnishing the value of the Microsoft and Windows trademarks and brands.

So does this mean that anybody who made software for windows 7 can sue microsoft for the windows 10 forced "optional" upgrade if it broke their software?

Could they seize windows update servers as part of their trademark suit?
I don't think it's a misunderstanding so much as a tautology. "Giving voice" is something victors decide to do on their own terms, they're still the ones writing history.
Of course, some people who are "unmistakably intolerant" make references to, and promote holocaust-denying material.

Holocaust deniers as such aren't "unmistakably intolerant" though; disputing the facts surrounding the holocaust doesn't ipso facto make someone intolerant, let alone unmistakably.

Is everyone who disputes facts intolerant? Is someone who believes that the world was formed 7000 years ago intolerant? Are flat-earthers intolerant?

Why not explore the possibility that police departments who are more likely to be shot at are both more likely to shoot somebody and also more likely to take 1033 funding? This seems like a pretty obvious possibility to consider.
If an employer fears bad press, perhaps it's because the thing their employee did is unpopular and their business is built on public perception?

I mean, we can keep digging, but at the end of the day the story keeps resolving to "Someone said something people didn't like and there are consequences." Technology has made it easier, by dint of lowering the cost of investigation of a person, to apply those consequences; it hasn't changed the rules under which society has operated in general. We block those consequences in terms of government intervention; we've never back-stopped them in terms of private intervention outside of some very, very specific class constraints.

If we want to discuss whether holocaust denial should be a protected class constraint, that would fit the existing (US) mold for constraint of reaction to speech by private citizens, but good luck finding popular support for holocaust denial protection.

As the comic says, defending a position by citing free speech says that the most compelling virtue of your words is that they're not literally illegal to say.
What is interesting is that Microsoft tries to position their subjective attitudes (Linux is harmful/advantageous to their business model at a given point in time) as an objective truth.

It saddens me to see your correct answer being voted down. I get there's a moral condemnation of surge prices in certain circles.

Nonetheless this condemnation, once legislated, have removed the very practical ability to purchase important services or goods when they matter the most to you. Instead we end up all over-buying just to ensure we have it at the key junction.
Soft mounts may cause silent data corruption (it's actually the applications which don't check the return code on file system operations which cause the corruption, but there are just too many of those). Just don't do it.

People sometimes (ignorantly and irresponsibly) recommend (or have recommended -- NFS is squarely in the legacy corner of technology) soft mounts in an attempt to deal with unreliable servers, i.e. prevent clients from 'hanging' if the server doesn't respond. The real solution is of course to fix the darn server / the network.
> Most democratic countries on this earth, except for the US, not only ban holocaust denial on private platforms, which is insidious historical revisionism, but punishes it by law.

Pretty much only Germany and bordering countries actually. Democracies outside of Europe pretty uniformly do not ban Holocaust denial. See e.g. India.

> Couldn't someone have said the same thing of the printing press in the year 1440?

Yes, and they did. Society went through a period of disruption and experimentation and came out on the other side with new institutions and cultural norms.

The same is happening here. That suggests what's considered acceptable for pamphleteers and public speakers may not be acceptable on an auto-curating micro-targeting real-time nonlocal platform like Facebook.

There was a balance between free speech and the common interest and it's been disrupted. Holding as absolute policies and norms from mass broadcasting in the era of social media is delusional.
> Crime is much less of a concern where there are far fewer people.

Crime in rural areas today is rampant due to the opioid crisis. I don't know of a small town that hasn't been absolutely torn apart. Ironically while small town crime is way up due to opioids & heroin, it's down in large cities, about as low as rural towns in the 70s.

We are already well down the slope moving at warp speed. Facebook is obviously selectively choosing what is hate speech according to their leftist political stance. They don't remove hate speech that is anti-police and inciting violence against police (BLM) despite dozens of police having been attacked and maybe half a dozen killings.

C# Interview Notes
If as you claim, free-speech proponents are arguing that coercive behavior (harassment, threats, etc) are "free speech", then they are contradicting themselves. However, I dispute that this is a general phenomenon, even if there are a few individual free-speech proponents here or there who do contradict themselves in this way. For the most part, free speech proponents are consistent in arguing that threats and harassment are not free speech and should not be treated as such.
Then you have the choice to ignore them. Why do you think you have a right to stop others hearing the same arguments?

If you are content with really long travel times (thousands or tens of thousands of years one-way), then of course you can travel to other stars.

By the time such means are available, I doubt that entities will bother with shipping matter two ways over such distances.

Also, if you're talking about an uploaded or otherwise synthetic consciousness, that entity may be experiencing time a 100x or more faster than a baseline human does now. So a then thousand year trip would seem like a million years. That's a long time to stay away.
This is typical for ATT. I get it all of the time when trying to verify my account for things like HBO Max and other networks' apps.
