is that an actual problem though? Controversial actions drawing attention to other issues isn't exactly new in journalism, what matters is if the allegations in the piece are going to be substantiated, and this preemptive post makes me think that will be the case. When I read that previous coinbase statement I actually wondered immediately if they have internal issues like this, and their policy was just an attempt to shut it down, I guess that's what a journalist might think as well.

It's of course also hilarious that Coinbases attempt at shutting political discourse at the company down now has put them into the crosshairs if that's actually the case.

It seems plausible to me that The Times could use very similar language to "a number of people," and giving 3 examples while implying that the number is far more.

What in the heck are you doing that's inviting frequent accusations of racism?
One of the best tips I received for sales: when trying to sell a pen, don't focus on the features. Stop and ask the customer - what are they looking to do with a writing instrument? Go as deep as possible in understanding their need in that conversation by asking questions. Once you understand the need - work out how best to fit the pen you're selling to their needs.

Two benefits of this approach: the customer does most of the talking. And by listening intently you know the things to say to help the customer see what you have matches their need.
Say you're, I don't know, the person who gives driving license tests. You fail a <race> person, person claims you are racist against <race>. How do you make sure no one has examples like that? Just always pass literally everyone no matter how bad a driver they are in case they're going to later claim discrimination?

You can avoid explicit examples with evidence attached ("he called me a n-word and fired me, see <youtube link>") but I don't see how you can reliably avoid claims of bias. And while the nyt article isn't out yet, I'm willing to bet that these (like most) claims is one of bias. Moreoever most actual legitimate instances of racism are also going to be of that form, because most people aren't stupid enough to make illegal things they are doing obvious.

It doesn't tell you what standard was applied when finding no wrong-doing. "not legally actionable" might be the criteria, which doesn't mean that everyone will say "oh, there was nothing wrong there."
It's a bit melodramatic to characterize their primary output as race-baiting propaganda

However I think it's interesting to compare and contrast how they handled Andrew Sullivan's racist comments from 26 years ago, Sarah Jeong's racist comments from 5-8 years ago, and Quinn Norton's use of slurs around 8 years ago.
That kind of thing would not hold up in court without a strong pattern proved or additional explicitly discriminatory behavior. Discrimination is surprisingly hard to prove, in fact.

Probably because the announcement made people question if the change in policy was prompted by exactly something like this brewing internally. That's kind of how investigative journalism works.

It's like Google changing their policy to never mention the words 'marketshare' in internal documentation and journalists going out and investigating Google's antitrust situtation and writing about it. That's not a bad thing, that's what generally prompts journalists taking a look at a company

Agree with the sentiment, String Theory is (right now) untestable. However, virtual particles are part of the standard model and have been indirectly shown to exist by particle accelerators. "Shown to exist" here means "a theory which includes virtual particles makes correct predictions, while other theories don't"

The real spirit of soccer. I was his fan and I would miss him so much. But the game continues that is the only way to immortalize him.

If players are allowed to play in Europe, fans that are under 35 years should be allowed inside the stadiums. Life must continue, empty stadiums turn fields to graveyards.
And "above politics" is the same as "not involved in politics". Call it a side/position/stance/perspective/angle or whatever else. It's still means they're not involved.
Half of the country is “visibly ashamed”? Come on, man.
I believe that systemic racism exists; and frankly from where I sit it’s not particularly hard to see it.

The NYT, Washington Post, and CNN are not widely held to be “left-wing propaganda machines.” That is not a majority opinion in the US, or in the world at large.

Your comment saddens me, because I feel an anger and fear in your words, and I wish I could help somehow.

All I can say is that what you are alleging is simply untrue, and not supported by facts. It is opinion at best.

Please know that the whole world doesn’t hate you, and just because a publication writes words that do not align with your beliefs it does not make them a “propaganda machine.”

I cannot meet you further in the middle than this, because I cannot accept conspiracy theories as truth. But I am here to talk if you want to step away from that darkness.
Sequential Consistency is the name for this model. Writes don’t get lost but it is weaker than linearizability because you can read after a commit and not get the latest value but eventually (not the same eventual as eventual consistency) you will. Typically data systems provide this to optimize for read scale out, otherwise all reads have to go to the leader.

In “eventual consistency” you could read the committed value at some time, no value, or another committed value depending on the exact implementation. It’s a much, much weaker consistency model than Sequential Consistency and Session/Causal Consistency is the closest you can even get to sniffing a stricter model.

I had a longer comment about this new page and MongoDB as a whole but I’ll just swallow my words. They know what they’ve done and don’t really care.

True and funny as my primary Blender use is for video editing. I like having the option to explore other fields in the 3D modeling, animation, and VR space too.
jimmygrapes two comments up stated that he believed coinbase expected the NYT would not be "being factual" and that he expected the article "written as an exaggerated hit piece full of emotional appeal rather than, well, news".

To which muglug replied extolling the irrefutable virtue of speaking truth to power-- which is an insultingly irrelevant response to someone accusing them of being non-factual.

There is also the mangle-use-repair choice. I've done that with pathnames for creating nested directories.

C programmers are expected to make the best choice based on the situation. The various choices trade off memory usage, CPU usage, source code readability, and program correctness.
I'm talking about what we have in front of us. You're defending the NYT's article without even having seen it. I can't argue against magical articles that haven't been published yet.

Also, if you think the NYT doesn't 'lie', then how about you read up on their reporting of the Duke lacrosse team case, or their hundreds of others examples of complete disregard to journalistic integrity.

Coinbase isn't perfect. But NYT lies. A lot.

But EVEN if the NYT doesn't lie, you haven't read the article yet.
I would go and start by implementing the link that I sent as an operator (I was planning to do it for my product).
For some of your items, you would need an external system to store the debug info (which is throw away most of the time). I assume that the cluster is observed using Prometheus and Loki.

I am not sure what are the efforts for each item, so assign efforts and starts with the cheapest one.
This makes me wonder how it's possible how to replicate data without being eventually consistent. I can't transmit data faster than the speed of light. It seems that the definitions here need more clarity, because eventual consistency in the broadest sense applies to everything. Is there a good example of replication consistency which isn't "eventual", but is instead immediate?
My first European colleague was a male-to-female person. She had worked at a major company for years, got a bad performance report, and attributed it to her transition. It went to court and the company settled, instead of defending not promoting her (with or without regard of her transition). Very good programmer. She worked there for 1 year more, doing only things that the company laywers agreed to.

In America I see similar things. I think it is seductive to be swept up with identity politics, and suddenly that promotion that went to a white person, feels different, feels racist. Or you employ a neurodiverse low-social skill person who makes an edgy unfunny joke, because he is nervous. That's "racist humor on the work floor" when going to a lawyer or journalist. It is a dangerous world out there. Current climate not helping.
Not a problem, just a result of their actions. Oftentimes leaders of these high profile, unicorn style companies have a self focused, semi - narcissitic view of the world and have a hard time understanding the consequences of their decisions. Now a personality like this may at times be helpful in driving success (see Elon) but it also blinds them (see Elon's 420 tweet).
Coinbase's ceo may have had a pro Trumpian view of the world or he may have just thought cutting off political / cultural conversations at work was the best thing to do, odds are either way he probably did not understand the type of focus this would bring in a hyper partisan media. Culture wars sell clicks and papers.

All things being equal, the Coinbase office is probably going to be a pretty awkward place to be the next couple of months.

This really seems far fetched and disingenuous. I'm assuming that holocaust deniers are only 100% successfully deplatformed when the SPLC has absolutely free reign over which obscure groups and individual statements it may flag. In other words when the SPLC has literally 100% full control over the public discussion. How is this not totalitarian?

I've seen entire microcosms of people on twitter and facebook call for the murder of white people, I wonder if the SPLC would use some of their extremely extensive public funding to study that instead. (Hint: no)

I bet theoretical physics will play a crucial role in cultural shifts over the next century.

You can find a strong parallel between the emerging "metamodernism" era and Hawking's "model-dependent realism": the acceptance of contradicting realities.

We potentially face a future cultural enlightenment in which theoretical physics plays both a philosophical and expository role­— a future which acknowledges the importance of the observer in the "actual" nature of reality.
As I understood the "we're above politics", it was "you don't do politics at work". How is that taking a side? And if it is taking a side, which side?
Journalists exist to push a narrative. They don't exist to present facts. Only naive children believe in that fairy tale. Anyone paying attention realizes now that journalists are partisan political activists and should be treated as such. That's all they've ever been really. Just a quick overview of the history of the news industry would reveal as much.
Oh, I definitely love having roosters! The crowing makes me happy. But our polish started mounting the most developed hens at 19 weeks, and the other two (silkies, believe it or not) wanted in on the action less than a month later. Too many roosters for the number of hens, and the girls were getting frazzled.

The thing I'm hoping for out of this "no kill" technology is the ability to buy sexed fertile eggs at the ag store. I don't have a problem culling roosters from unsexed breeds, but it would be nice to bypass raising them from chicks and guessing which ones will turn out to be keepers.

Are we going to simply give up when it comes to understanding the fundamental nature of complexity? Why do multi-component systems undergo phase changes, why does it occur at the points at which they do, how could we design simple systems which, in sufficient quantity, exhibit useful properties upon phase shift? What techniques can be used to predict or derive macro-scale emergent phenomenon from micro-scale complex interactions? Why, exactly and with the same precision as quantum mechanics achieves, is more different?
The NYT? After the Trump presidency? Here is a helpful attack article they wrote about an issue that turned out not to involve any particular racial undertones [0] - although you wouldn't figure that out from the NYT reporting. They aren't known for being careful before calling people racist with light evidence. Another good example of 'nobody has any examples of you being racist' being nowhere near enough to keep a reputation intact too.

Why ban people for using Ripcord? It’s a lightweight discord client. That seems like a tactical mistake. It’s in your interest to let users use popular third party clients that clearly aren’t malicious. Discord doesn’t make money on ads (at least, not in the server) so this also doesn’t warrant a ban.

If I were you, I would be seriously concerned by the fact that they were banned at all. They handled this thing all wrong — they should have been making noise like “Discord bans me for using popular third party client”.

Notice that this story was flagged. But if they had done it that way, it would be news. And discord would look seriously bad.

Please, consider spending an hour investigating whether (a) they were banned solely for using ripcord, and (b) are we communicating to our users that they will be banned for using ripcord?

I don’t understand why nobody seems to have noticed or cared about this angle. This is really not a great look for discord, and it’s the only piece of news that has ever made me reconsider whether it was a good idea to base our 1,000 user ML discord on your platform.

Because I could imagine myself getting banned for this. And if I get banned, as the server owner, I feel queasy not knowing whether that might destroy my server and undo a year of work.

All that said, I wouldn’t be surprised to know that OP was in fact doing something more, not merely “using ripcord”, and that you can’t discuss it publicly. But, if it’s true, I urge you, regardless of your position at the company, to nip this PR disaster before it has a chance to happen. Because literally no one will be sympathetic to any of your justifications for a ripcord ban. They have users’ interests at heart, and they let people on bad laptops use discord. Banning them for normal usage is a huge mistake — it makes no sense that you’d have to “protect” discord via a ban.

Not sure that's true. An allegation of racial abuse you defend against by saying "I did not do that", hopefully with evidence on your side (other people were at the meeting, maybe).

But how do you defend against implicit bias? "No, I'm not"? In the current climate, I'm not sure that saves your public image...
That would be a great question to direct to jimmygrapes, rather than the truth to power old saw.

The existence of strtok_r() is weird anyway. If we can make errno thread-safe, there is no reason why plain strtok() can't be thread-safe. The idea that somebody wants strtok() state shared across threads is just as weird as the idea that errno should be shared across threads.
When people talk about "the modern game", I think most would agree we're talking about passing to players running into a better position further up the pitch

The first rules established in England allowed no such thing. Forward passes were still not permitted (like Rugby). It was in Scotland where the offside rule that loosely resembles what it is today was actually invented, allowing players to spread themselves a bit more around the pitch.

It’s all about when you acknowledge back to the client, whether you accept writes at a single writer or multiple writers, and whether reads can be served from any node. Most EC systems tend to be multi writer with async replication. This means clients get acks immediately and reads to other nodes for those values can contain various values. The speed of the network doesn’t matter from a theoretical perspective. Network speed only affects potential convergence times. Time is time regardless of the unit of measurement.

See my other comment above for distinguishing between EC and Sequential.
I remember the day Line Rider actually came out. I remember seeing it on Digg, and this was before Youtube but people were theorizing if a loopty loop would be possible (oh simpler line rider times!). I remember hacking something together into a (flash) video back then. I think I may still have it laying around somewhere.

EDIT: Yep, here it is, "Date Created: 9/23/2006" which is the day Line Rider came out according to wikipedia.

Their response contains specific facts, such as information on the number of and their handling of reported complaints.

That isn't much-- I agree-- but I doubt that they know enough about the time's intended allegations to respond more specifically. And if they did respond too specifically presumably the times would shift their allegations to different specifics in any case, making a general response the only durable one.

Interestingly, other commenters here characterized Coinbases' message with language such as "incredibly thorough prebuttal" and suggested that this indicated that the story was devastating. You seem to be arguing the opposite, that it is perfectly generic and is thus indicative of a traditional cover-up approach. From this it seems to me that regardless of what approach they took it would be characterized as evidence against them.
