Wow. Fascinating that you're unable to see them, but I guess I also read about people in Russia not seeing anything amiss about their media so I shouldn't be shocked.

Here's a handful of "woke" things I've grown tired of, more because they're such overused cliches or unrealistic things that break my suspension of disbelief than any opposition (I'm a far left, pro-LGBT+, progressive atheist feminist to disclose any biases), but in no particular order:

Every show having an "overcoming sexism" or "overcoming racism" narrative, where inevitably a white guy is the evil villain who underestimates, mistreats or is unfair to the protagonist and then the female/poc character gets to overcome this systemic injustice. (Sometimes this is central to the whole show, sometimes it feels like just an obligatory scene in an otherwise unrelated story).

Casts that have an unrealistic "forced diversity" element. You might call it token representation, but if the scene is a random office in middle-America and the 6 characters are 6 different races or when each character is designed specifically to be the inverse of a stereotype, it makes the show feel less authentic and genuine. Related is changing characters from existing stories to be more diverse according to contemporary American notions of identity.

Men being depicted as so absurdly rapey, or the general overuse of sexual harassment or threatening behavior.

Exaggerations of nepotism, sexism and racism in most shows.

As to your question of "whats wrong or what should be done differently", I think there are a few challenges. For instance, we all sort of accept action movies being full of guns and explosions while recognizing they're not at all representative of reality. However, there does seem to be some evidence that these movies contribute to European misunderstanding and to greatly overestimating the likelihood of encountering gun violence in America. The current set of media might bias a generation of young women to fear there's a rapist in every room and that every career disappointment is a manifestation of systemic discrimination.

An easy parallel might be looking at the over-use of depictions of Black men as gang members, drug dealers or criminals in 1980s and 1990s Hollywood. Any one particular movie scene or tv show might be fine on its own with such a character, but when similar characters and scenes show up in dozens of unrelated titles and as a disproportionate representation it becomes problematic. It's different groups now being the recurring villains, recurring fools, etc, but it's the same fundamental issue.

I grew up on our family farm and my grandpa was tough old German immigrant who had all these sage old saying (often laced with colorful language, swear words in German). But most of that old wisdom and sayings all turn out to be true as ever today I think.

He would say things like:

Doing something the right way is hard work, but not as much work as doing it again because you screwed it up the first time.

Or if someone, a farm hand or whoever (sometimes me) would be struggling to figure out how to do something (e.g. get the tractor engine going) he would ask if you wanted him to do it for you, if you said yes then he would call you a nutzloser scheist (useless shit) or something like that. The correct answer was no, please tell me how sir, or something along those lines.

He told me, if you hate farm work you better do good in school so you can get a good job, become an engineer, then you won't have to come back here and work like a dog all day.

He had a lot of them like that, it stuck with me.

Headline is misleading and doesn't reflect the headline for the article.
Zero trust is indeed not a good way to define it, rather a marketing pitch.

Ultimately you'd have to trust someone even that reduced to one, do you even trust yourself?

It's infeasible to implement something that's absolutely based on trust none. The so called "Zero trust" is merely escalated restriction but still "as need basis".

This seems a major red flag if true.

1. Twitter internal security seems loose enough that employees can access personal information (email and verification mobile phone number; probably geolocation too) without any form of internal vetting.

2. It is more troubling that the person of interest is stated as a former employee. It isn't evident whether the employee was working at Twitter during this episode or had already left the company. Given the wording of the article, it seems someone pulled some strings with the ex-employer.

The takeaway from this shouldn't be the account holder's doxxing, but rather that any person with the right contacts can access private Twitter information without a judicial warrant.
So my understanding is this is an account that simply reposts (unedited) hyper-liberal/leftist videos uploaded to tik tok?

How exactly was this a problem?

Meanwhile, the implications here are scary. If you’re truly wanting to be a social dissident vs the establishment these days they can’t see your IP/cookies/keychain. You’ll need a totally fresh device/iCloud account and never interact with these services without a VPN via VPS, maybe more than that. I suppose if you get too big of a following some NSA boomerbot will leak your life’s story to NYT despite these protections.

> It is true that Libs of TikTok has amassed numerous followers on Twitter by reposting videos of left-wing insanity on the social media app TikTok.

I almost didn’t realize this was a biased source until they added in that line. The fact that it’s a former employee and not current employee like the headline suggested might have slipped by if the article had been more subtle
Bear Notes is not really cross platform. iPhone, iPad and Mac are one platform for all intents and purposes.
The article says "former" twitter employee, not current.
Could be me justifying my own tendency to ruminate haha, but occasionally "should haves" can be productive if you learn something that improves your mental model of the world. Either way, glad to hear you're prioritizing your health! The hard work pays dividends :)

The other parts of this are dumb, but Washington Post which is suppose to be respectable, publicly posted "We did not publish or link to any details about her personal life.”

Then corrected to say “We linked to publicly available professional information and ultimately deemed it unnecessary.”

If they can't get the facts about things THEY did right, how can the be trusted to report honestly and accurately.

It's a good notation, but writing a few sigmas in front of every equation is at worst a constant-factor overhead. I know of a text that does it that way in a (misguided?) attempt to be more approachable to nonspecialists.
It’s my understanding that this was a former employee not acting in official capacity; who likely violated their NDA.
When did journalists become so radicalized? Am I under the misguided assumption that there was a time when journalists cared about integrity and reporting the news (and not becoming the news)? It certainly feels like journalists are more explicitly weaponized now.
I appreciate the idea here but generally you set a non perfect regex expression and just roll on with whatever other verification there is (send email). Well I don’t but if you did I don’t see much harm.

I won’t ask people to type the email twice, that’s just annoying.

Thanks for the summary. I read the article and to me this is more about creating appropriate abstractions than automation.

So did it actually have anything to do with Twitter and their systems? Or was that just put in there to fuel the obvious bias from this right wing politics site?
Taylor Lorenz is a journalist and what she was doing ( finding out the true identity of the twitter account) is a fundamental part of her job.

Reply guys harassing women and reporters on twitter are not journalists.

Where is the hypocrisy?
Isn't that worse? Even the current employees shouldn't have access to this information. Let alone former ones.

There's no difference between 'a law that says "this is illegal" but the authorities have no interest in actually pursuing' and 'a law that says "this is illegal" but the authorities have no interest in actually pursuing'.

My definition of "illegal" is "you can be arrested, charged, and convicted."

Intent and actors can change. A DA who says "I won't prosecute {x}" is under no obligation to continue, or even be consistent with, that policy, and the next DA is certainly not bound by it.
How does that improve or change things? Not a rhetorical question; I’m confused by the vagueness in the article.

Was the employee current at the time of info sharing, and is now “former”? Or did they retain access to systems after leaving the company? Or did they pass info from a friend still working at twitter? In any of these cases it’s still troubling.
It says the information was sourced from a former twitter employee. That might just mean that they knew that the twitter server has some endpoint that literally sends you a list of all the alt accounts(at least, per [0]) and they all share a single user id

There's a _lot_ of assuming happening on this post so far. My understanding was the Twitter account previously had different handles, including her real name. I don't think that level of sleuthing requires internal access, using old/archived tweets can unmask the account.
Better than revvy :)

You’re assuming that this company is actually a separate entity and not some sketchy relatives of the hackerrank management providing for international cover for their bogus DMCA attacks.

Which is exactly what it is.
Former employee. That’s far worse, it means he still had access via an active employee to get the info from a… current employee.
It's not "What-aboutism". I'm taking an event where I assume we both agree - in this example CHAZ was not a succession it was a protest that went out of control, and saying that the January 6th event was essentially similar. In both cases you could use hyperbolic language (secession or civil war versus coup or insurrection) but the reality is just not as dramatic.

January 6th is much more like a protest turned riot than it is a coup or insurrection.
The amount of differing opinions you got on this fundamental question is remarkable.

Radicalized? No, just incentivized to get a story by any means necessary, or go homeless. Here we have a case of a reporter harassing random people to try to flush out the owner of the tiktok account, and accepting obviously illegally-obtained data. We'll probably see a lot more of this in the future, since there's seemingly no downside to trying it.
Yeah, I rode in the back of a pickup with my friends on the freeway, too. No seats, no seatbelts. Nobody thought anything of it. It was fun, too.
This still reflects poorly on Twitter infosec if they’re not offboarding users with that kind of access immediately upon their ceasing to be employed by Twitter.
It's unfortunate that this was flagged. There's the boring political angle, but it does seem pretty relevant and interesting that a major tech company's employee would use their access to personal data to dox someone.
I would point out that this is not the hit you think at SSG but at their current build system.

You could imagine a distributed build system for this that would build it really fast for competitive price on any ci/lambda/batch system.

The fact we barely hear anyone talk about this is the strange twist of history the parent made.
Netflix is finished. They were first to market and built the brand, they were the only people skilled enough to make cloud streaming any good, and they enjoyed their temporary advantage in the market. The rest of the world caught up. It's over.

In terms of their stock, the only reason to ever own a stock is the promise of future cash flow, and yeah they'll probably get there, but bleh.
Who’s saying these CHAZ folks are okay? Not sure what this is about here.

This article seems like fake news. I can’t find any other source corroborating a “former Twitter employee revealing her identity”, not even in this very article. Everywhere else is reporting that her identity was already voluntarily public. The only real overstep here appears to be speaking to the individual’s relatives, which was presumably voluntary on their part as well, despite the non-amicability of the conversation.

EDIT: Found a (non-reputable) source corroborating the claim. I guess the doxxer did so publicly and this reporter piggy-backed off that? It’s gray, but I don’t know if that qualifies as a breach of journalistic integrity. It even seems that the identity was posted publicly (then later removed) within the very same channel if this source is to be trusted.

"makes more sense"? In Europe it's required by law.
I was not accusing you of ill behaviour. That's why I said "good." I thought you were making a subtle joke and it generated a lot of discussion which is what good trolls do. I was trying to be friendly because the alternative is worse.

It's pretty horrifying that someone really believes "people make things for money, not love or art." and frames it as "let’s be honest here," implying that to hold any other belief is lying to yourself. That's textbook expecting everyone to agree with you.

If you're not joking, then I've met someone who disregards my entire career and background as a lie. You really can’t imagine how disappointing it is and how little it makes me want to engage in the future.
Is there maybe an alternative source?
Can you explain why you need greater precision/range?
A computer system is not a decision maker. It does not have agency, it is a tool. This is an IT use of the exonerative tense. i.e. "The suspect died due to bullet caused wounds"

If you want to repurpose your steam turbines, geothermal is a better choice. Now that we know how to bore very deep holes electrically, geothermal is practical in many more places than before.

Um, what the fuck? It’s the job of “journalists” to find and dox pseudonymous social media accounts and link their professional info?

Please tell me this is sarcasm/satire I missed
fizzbuzz is the least of your concern if you do these type of interviews. the problem is that you will be asked a question which required several hours to produce an optimal solution, yet you are supposed to deliver this solution in under 5-10 minutes, and the only way to do that, is to repeatedly grind the solution and memorize it and then quickly reproduce it in the interview. as such, the style of interviewing is broken, and optimizes for candidates willing to endlessly grind LC or HR, and memorize the solutions. in the end, everyone loses. coding interviews are there to exhaust the candidate so when the offer stage finally arrives, they take any offer. all it does it put everyone in a bad position.

and you are mistaken that it's up to the company to decide what happens. as an industry of professionals, it is our decision.
Can't upvote this enough.

There simply is no need to check the email addr provided by the user. Send the mail, if it bounces, the user has only himself to blame. What if I don't want them to go through the hassle of an activation link? Then I don't bother with an email account in the sign-up process in the first place. If they want a passwd reset method, they can later provide an email in their settings page, if that isn't valid, well, tough luck.
At thirty, you will feel like nothing has changed (and be disappointed about that). At 32 you will feel strangely young again. At 36, you will feel 40, and at 40 you'll be thinking about retirement.
Yep, compared to MediaWiki(last time I set it up was like ~7 years ago) it was such a hassle to setup. I think my main complaint about Doku is that it's built on PHP. I haven't tried to hardcore customize things other than installing plugins and templates though so I can't say how easy it is to extend.

Almost every single useful website/service is banned here due to government’s mass censorship (unbelievably, including tech news websites, some wikis, some regular Linux repos, tweeter, FB, YouTube, and even DuckDuckGo!) and AMPs might help you visiting a webpage in case your VPN doesn’t work properly.

PS: Google services are not filtered here.
I am pretty sure Netflix has something in the pipe for extra viewers. They are trying it in some countries. Definitely not in the States yet though.
Based on the content of the article, seems obvious they're adding ads to a new lower tier / free tier plan. This is what most if not all competitors do. I don't see the big deal, it's not like they're going to inject ads into the current tiers.
I mean, in their defense some of what they shared was pretty far out there. This isn’t Bernie stuff, it’s furry red army level.

the last time I checked autorouters were still not capable of doing all the routing on a multi layer PCB properly, and manual work was still required to produce a decent design.
Except this isn't a current employee, but a former employee, who has basic knowledge of the Twitter public API. It lists former nicknames for your account, even if you now regret them, and they make it easier to do sleuthing on you.

Since the article doesn't list those important details, it's easy for people to get the wrong idea, instead of getting useful information: It's deceptive enough to qualify as clickbait. So yes, it's flagged for good reason.
