Mmm, it's interesting. There's really two options here: Option A: Son is right, and the market is wrong. WeWork is a ~$50b company, and after a bit of hardball SoftBank will own 70% of it for a very affordable $15b (or whatever

You reckon they'd have banned him if he'd worn a Elizabeth Warren campaign badge? Really? Like...that's a thing you honestly can imagine?

Highly debatable. It's by no means clear the rules should have been applied to this case; they were very vague "we can ban anyone for anything that makes us look bad", but what has made Blizzard look bad here has primarily be

I fixed my wording relating to the Register article; it's getting a little confusing to try and track all the different comment threads, edits, and updates. As for the rest of your comment, that seems to contradict claims made by other

They are apologising for 1) not implementing the new CoC fast enough and 2) not being clear enough when they did, which led to people arguing about what happened, whether a CoC is even a good idea, whether or not people should be forced to

SO removed a Jewish mod during a Jewish holiday, when she would not be using the internet. She complained about it, and they apologised for the timing.

A bit late, but a good response, I'd say.

by Lazare 7y ago
If I'm reading these leaks correctly, the core issue is that Monica was not okay with singular they. The issue isn't that SO was forcing her not to use it, it's that they were forcing her to use it, and she was refusing.

Stack Overflow has handled the communication and PR side of this about as badly as a company can, and I started - and still want to be - on the side of the moderators. However, as near as I can tell from piecing together the different leaks

I fear that's more an indictment of available chat protocols, than it is a defence of XMPP. :)

Arg, good point. Unfortunately, it's too late to edit or delete the comment now. Shouldn't comment right before lunch; I get grumpy apparently. :(

In some markets, nothing happens until a buyer and a seller both want to transact at the same time at the same price. Real estate is like this; you can't sell your house to the market; you have to wait until a specific person wants to

Of course not. That's 1) deeply illegal and 2) wouldn't even be profitable. Edit: I love how I'm getting downvoted for stating the truth. Nothing gets people with no knowledge of financial markets as irrationally excited as H
