I, for one, am really glad to see people acknowledging the moral responsibility they have as operators of a public† speech platform and social community. Technology has no morals except for those of its owners. † By "public" i mea

It strikes me that you could easily satisfy this by running a Redis process local to your application node as a cache and, indeed, you probably should instead of trying to re-implement functionality yourself. Also redis is cool for pub&#x2F

This along with the "sign in with apple" feature really makes it a good time to be a bit of an apple fanboy.

Whoops sorry, i said that wrong. I was talking about things like this: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/20/technology/att-verizon-in... (att and verizon colluding to price fix.) I dont think apple is coll

Spoilers: it's because our regulatory, legislative, and judicial infrastructure exists to defend monied interests. We're incapable of taking collective action that reduces private property accumulation, so no monopoly busting.

This is a good example of how the consumer pays for so-called "competition" between service providers. The practical effect is that they collude to fix prices and never work with downstream/upstream companies to provide obvio

I think its a big deal that they're able to capitalize on the user data abuses of Google and Facebook by making a single sign in service simply because "we wont give everyone your entire contact list when you click this button.&qu

pedantic note: shouldn't "No analytics is like Volument" be "No analytics are like Volument." ?

this is unfair because it, for a moment, got me excited that there was an end of life date for windows in general ;)

THIS is a criticism of the CPC. Also, China is not a communist country.

by ixtli 7y ago
There are a million CPC officials, and 2200 elected representatives. The party claims 89 million members. I’d be critical of attempts to view it as a somehow monolithic entity that exists separately from “the rest” of China.

Ya I’ve said to another commenter that I just don’t know enough about Indian post-colonial government to be able to comment effectively.

I edited my comment to say closed.

Yes, it definitely appears this way! I just know a bit about china and nearly nothing about india so i don't really comment :)

Oh I hoped it was clear that I think it's a very, very good thing that we should do here. Also v good point, they are closed. (However I would bet that they'll be reopened under new management. Definitely my western bias saying &#

For sure! I'm not saying democracy should be abandoned. I'm saying that 1) china might not actually be quite like its depicted in the west 2) what we call authoritarian is often just counter to our ideology that people should be a

by ixtli 7y ago
I think its very important to engage with the fact that this is something China can do because of what we in the west deem unacceptably "authoritarian" governance. This effect isn't entirely due to people's starry-eyed c

Yeah. The social uplift only happens to people connected in some way to where the capital is accumulating. If you live where the capital is flowing from you're gonna have a bad time.

The problem isn't convenience stores (I lived in japan for 1.5 years and lemme tell you, they're wonderful and everyone loves them.) It's capitalisms completely unregulated growth in situations where no one could possibly ben

Not at all. I'm trying to say that the mentality that would lead an organization to publish something that says > The voluntary CrossFit community of 15,000 affiliates and millions of individual adherents stands steadfastly and ofte

Pretending CrossFit is just a collection of exercise ignores reality. It's also a culture and that culture is what creates the conditions under which people get rhabdo.

That you're getting downvoted means that people here don't know about CrossFit's history. (c.f.: the 'uncle rhabdo' shit from a few years ago http://theconversation.com/explainer-what-is-rhabdomyolys

Uh this is typical cultish reaction to being called out: accuse others of doing exactly what you yourself are doing. I'd like to remind everyone here, in case you are considering crossfit, that several years ago they caused a rash of c

I took a computer architecture course in undergrad and they had us make an ARM emulator similar to this in c++. It was extremely illuminating.
