There are a lot of articles out there on this subject (as this article points out). I think it's increasingly rare to find companies that can't see that value in code reviews.

What I'd like to see instead is some surveys of companies doing reviews to find out what's hard. What parts go well, what parts to they struggle with.

For example, at my past employer, we tried to pull in a privacy expert on any privacy sensitive changes and a security expert on any security related change. But this was really hard for two reasons. First, it's often not obvious that what you're doing is security/privacy related and probably the worst f-ups will be the one where you didn't mean to do anything security/privacy related. Second, it was hard to scale these "experts" who were domain experts but not an expert in the codebase.

I'm sure there are many many other things teams find hard and I think that's really interesting to dig into.

It's the good observation that there are owners, labour and managers between the two, because owners don't want to manage the labour. The book just explains how exactly this manifests in the corporate world. And it's a really good book, btw.

It's absolutely not. Whether the president's claims are true is another matter entirely. When he makes a claim with no specifics, no explanation of how it occurred, and no evidence, that's a baseless claim. And it does not deserve equal representation in the media merely by virtue of it having been said.

Could the average Facebook user readily replace their use of Facebook with LinkedIn or TikTok? I am not a big user of any of those products, but I have the distinct impression that the answer is no.
IMHO "open core" is not a good idea in the first place.

Open source is about an open community, open contributions, the multiplier you get from contributions from multiple companies. That way open source is a win-win. Companies benefit from each other's contributions.

It's _not_ about just showing the code or a free-for-all.

Once you have free and non-free tiers it's already broken. The incentives no longer align.

I'm being paid in part to work on the open source projects that we utilize for our service(s). Some of those we started, some of those we're contributing to, but we _own_ none of them. We handed them off to external entities (Apache and others) for governance and we actively encourage others to participate.

I don't think Automattic really fits the same pattern. Although Movable Type was one of the earliest and most successful source-available blogging platforms, there were a bunch of others soon after. They all had similarities in functionality, by nature of being blogging software, but they weren't exactly "clones". WordPress was actually a fork of another early blogging software, b2/cafelog.

When Six Apart made Movable Type's license more restrictive in 2004, a portion of the userbase jumped over to WordPress. Another thing in WP's favor was ease of hosting, due to being written in PHP, vs Movable Type's Perl. This all led to a lot of momentum for WP; Automattic was founded after that, in 2005.
As far as we know, it's not possible to miniaturize fusion. The mass of the shielding alone for a hypothetical miniature DT fusion reactor would prevent it from being used in anything smaller than a large ship. 'Advanced fuels' with reduced neutron radiation are orders of magnitude below DT in power density for given reactor performance levels, so miniaturizing them is even more in the realm of science fiction.

> A company censoring information on their platform seems deeply different, no?

Not necessarily; I think that is the crux of the discussion.

From a legal point of view it is deeply different. From a practical point of view it's not so clear. If a video isn't on Youtube, for many it's the same as not existing at all. For example, my Roku can show YouTube videos, but cannot access arbitrary urls.

In general, platforms are not supposed to discriminate, while Publishers do. This particular case makes that distinction far less obvious. I'd like to see some alternative, such as markings, instead of a simple include or not.
It's heartening to see Google finally taking steps towards curbing the spread of disinformation on their platforms recently. Now if only Facebook would do the same.

the armed forces don't belong to POTUS

* blinks *

Yes, they do. He's their commander in chief, authorized by Congress to attack anyone or anything in the name of "fighting terrorism" with zero immediate accountability to anyone. (And yes, as you suggest, this is a problem Congress created for itself.)

POTUS also has the ability to invoke something called the "Insurrection Act," which effectively deploys the military on domestic soil for law-enforcement purposes.

Oh, and speaking of Federal law enforcement, that's an executive branch function as well.

That's for darned sure. Of course, a complicit Congress is arguably worse than an impotent one, because it opens the door to a captive judicial branch as well.

My guess is that this will end up the same was as the Microsoft case. Building network effects is not anti-competitive behavior. FB will argue that they are in fierce competition with Google in the market where they make their revenue, advertising. Not really relevant what the relative market concentration is in other non-revenue generating markets (social networking / search), which are only used to generate attention for the ads they sell in a market where FB's relative market power is < 50%.
Democrats believe in the process so much they would rather waste four years convincing themselves a red herring is more than a fish. If they were as conniving as you have been implying, they would have either gotten results or switched tactics sooner.

They're rule-followers. That doesn't mean they're smart.
> It would be a different matter if the legislature was prepared for that, but it's not.

Plenty of states allowed abortion before Roe v. Wade. If legislature isn't prepared, what are they waiting for? Just pass the relevant bills already, so that impact of a potential Supreme Court verdict that returns the control to legislatures has absolutely zero consequences, because the state legislature already has enshrined the current status quo into law. What's the problem?

> Like it or not, the battle for abortion was fought with the Supreme Court.

Yes, and this is fundamentally wrong approach to issues on which there is no broad public agreement.

> Saying "she just has a different view on where it should be fought" ignores the fact that it would essentially set us back 50 years in terms of reproductive rights.

Sounds like you're talking out of your a##, since you have no idea who this person even is. You've said that evidence is not being suppressed. And now you're trying to make all of these mental gymnastics to say that if the research that is necessary to provide you with the evidence challenges your biases then it surely has to mean that it's somehow disingenuous and it's actually a good thing that it's being censored.
Wait, are you talking about the Russia hoax or Charlottesville hoax?
Anecdote: I needed to get a yellow fever vaccination for last-minute travel to Kenya. So last minute in fact that medically speaking, the vaccine was useless as the immunity wouldn't have kicked in yet. Immigration did in fact notice this, and had no problem with letting me in when I explained why.

That certificate at least has zero security features, and could easily be faked.
In some cases, it is a jurisdictional ruling. Meaning that the only solution is to appeal to a higher court until you get to the court with jurisdiction to rule on the case. This is largely why these rulings are happening in rapid succession, there's a procedure that must be followed and deadlines to meet.

The Texas Attorney General likely has short circuited this process by filing a claim that can only be resolved by a federal court. And now 11 other states (at my last count) have joined on as plaintiffs and the U.S. Supreme Court has placed it on the docket.

We will look back at 2020 and we'll think it was not such a lousy year. I personally consider that Covid19 was a godsend. Everyone (including Gates) were saying that a pandemic is not a matter of if but rather of when. And one came. But remember, we have a flu pandemic every single year. For a pandemic to be registered as serious, it has to be more lethal than flu. And Covid19 was, but not by so much. It was quite the minimum extra-lethality needed to shake people into action. And we did act. We saw how bad we are at preparedness (I mean, if the famous "stockpile" doesn't have N95s, then what does it have?). It exposed so many holes. But then Pfizer and Moderna pulled the miracle. What they have done is not just come up with the vaccine for Covid, but they have broken the 4-minute mile of vaccines. Shattered it. Like going from 4:05 to 0:35. When the next one will come (and come it will), a 10-month sequencing-to-EUA cycle will be the target to beat. Not a 5-year timeline. Will we be able to have a vaccine in 6 months, or maybe 3 months? That's not entirely inconceivable now.

So, sure we've paid a dear price in blood with this Covid19, but it could have been much, much, much worse. And when the truly bad one will come, we'll be so much more prepared.

Giving details of someone's previous publicly available criminal record isn't a "personal attack".

The goal is to get to ~80% feature-parity with UI Testing but be as reliable and fast as XCTest.

I don't think we're anywhere near peak. The potential of deepfake videos - and not realistic ones necessarily, but memey reaffirments ala many photoshops - is massive and heavily underutilized compared to where they could be. And that's just one small dimension of lightly explored territory.

If anything, this cycle has simply shown that there is massive merit in investing heavily in brazen manipulation techniques.

The President is the most powerful figure of the government. Government censorship is the greatest threat to democracy.

The President wants his voice to be the loudest, most trusted voice.

The President wants to discredit any dissenting voices.

The President only wants your vote to count if you voted for him.

If you are against censorship, how can you stand behind such a President, who wants to control the messaging that every citizen hears and believes, and whether your own voice even counts?

Who here thinks more people get political information from President Trump than get political news from YouTube?
>they will only admit people who have been vaccinated

Is any country issuing a proof of vaccination document? If they don't have a system already in place to issue these, I think it's unlikely they will be able to roll it out at this point.

Basically, I'll believe it when I see it. To me it seems like a very hard thing to enforce and implement. I suspect the companies are more interested in "security theater" to facilitate normal business operations as soon as possible than actually excluding people who haven't been vaccinated.
That's not "anyone". That's people who make a purchase for status-enhancing reasons. I'm also happy to discuss technical qualities of hardware, and do it often. But I like to do it with people for whom quality is what truly matters.

YT already flagged LGBTQ content as objectionable and demonitized it years ago, and I, for one, never questioned their right to do so. I think it's a bad look for them and will have consequences, but most of those consequences are of the form "LGBTQ companies are going to think twice about tossing ad dollars your way" and "People have solid questions about your actual dedication to LGBTQ inclusivity," not "We should modify the law to take away your right to flag that content objectionable."
Disarming is an excellent way to describe it. When the people who you feel that you're on par with point out that you're not pulling your weight, there's no place left for self delusion.
The now somewhat controversial Section 230 of the CDA would classify YouTube as an "interactive computer service," and the actual text of the law says "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected." Videos pushing to delegitimize the entire democratic process could certainly be considered "otherwise objectionable". That would be subjective, to be sure, and perhaps challengeable, but I'm going to bet that Google had a lot of discussions with their legal team before taking this action.

tl;dr: being a "platform" is neither a Get Out of Lawsuits Free card nor a requirement for content to be unmoderated.

I think sometimes seeing how much of a kerfuffle we made out of past current events can help you realize that time does go on, and things and people were that crazy back then too.

So many people making capitulations for censorship, including calling fake news of Fox but ignoring how CNN and all the mainstream is full of the same bullshit for "the other side".

Facts and legal definitions are not "weasel-words".

Your linked source just proves the following statement:

The FTC could, potentially, require:

1. That FB split into N independent companies, whereupon each share of FB would become 1 share in each of N companies.

2. That the supermajor shareholders (say, more than 10% of any company) each pick at most one company to retain that interest in, and sell off shares in the other companies until they had less than 10% of each of those).

3. That the new companies avoid overlapping directors.

It would be a long time in court. See the breakup of AT&T.
