It's better to stick to tried and true terminology that everybody understands than to needlessly introduce new and redundant designations for concepts that have been in use for decades, just to avoid upsetting rather irrational America

What is a "read-only follower"? Is this a common term when handling databases? Is it different than a slave?

Reddit is a marketing platform, not a discussion platform. If a website has tools like shadowbanning and rules that govern the allowed range of opinions that read like something you'd need a law degree to understand, you're on a p

Once you start perceiving people whose opinions you don't like as "loud smelly drunks" you're already too far down the rabbit hole to understand the importance of keeping moderation to the absolute minimum (which means k

Reddit is far worse in reinforcing subconscious self-moderation to adhere to the majority opinion. It's present on Hacker News too, since most people use the downvote as a "I disagree" button.

Let this be a lesson to others, the more censorship and the more draconic your allowed speech rules are, the worse you're off. The quality of overall discussion is negatively correlated with the amount of censorship.

Yes, of course they were. They also made better use of Twitter, and took advantage of the broken clickbait-based news market by generating cheap controversies and using strong language to get free publicity. There's no meme that spread

Steam as a platform is completely, utterly atrocious in all regards. Their client is ancient, outdated, and barely usable, there's no content quality filtering, the greenlight program is a failure that only succeeds in bringing complet

This is still an incorrect approach looking at incorrect metrics. According to the government document: >The gender pay gap is the difference between the average earnings of men and women, expressed relative to men’s earnings. For exampl

Matrix.org/Riot.im has all the encryption you could wish for, a modern, useful interface, and a federated model in which everyone can run their own server and talk to everyone else, just like email.

There's no perceptible gap in wages between almost any pair of social groups, provided we compare only similar roles. This has been solved by the market years ago. We still need more wage transparency. Companies should be required to p

I'm sure there are many people who think this is ok, because it's not the government doing this, but a "private company". Who needs a totalitarian dictatorship when plain old capitalism works as well if not better?

Please don't call it "ride sharing" or "ride hailing", that's what they want to be called despite being very clearly a taxi service.

How to generate a new password? Any way to customize characters/length? Is there a JSON API?

by nukeop 9y ago
Can this be used to create playlists in formats with more interoperating potential, such as JSON?

by nukeop 9y ago
Why not just deprecate this API in addition to providing a better way to perform operations commonly invoked this way?

Why call it "UNSAFE_" if there isn't really anything unsafe about it? I get it, they don't want people using those functions, but why should they decide what work best for other developers and use shady tactics like dish

"Without permission" is the crucial part. Of course, you have to give the app the permission to do it when you install it, otherwise it will refuse to run. That is why the Android permissions model is fundamentally broken.

If this is what "freedom of speech" earns us then we're better off without it, it's completely useless or even worse, it seems to set us back.

>no I'm not. What does being black means then? and why bring "jews" into a discussion with race? Because Jews have different risks of falling ill to many diseases than people of other races. You are still trying to conflat

Judaism is not a race, being black means more than just a different skin color, you're intentionally trying to derail the discussion.

People of different races have different metabolisms and physical characteristics, making them more susceptible to some illnesses but not others, and respond to different medicines differently. This is also important when considering the im

Webm for retards is one example of censorship on Github. There are plenty of repositories that have no code in them that are perfectly fine by Github rules even if they're just pieces of propaganda. What I'm trying to argue is tha

Github is perfectly fine with censorship on their platform and they frequently use it to take down repositories that use language they don't like, it only becomes a problem when someone else does it to them. That blog post is very dish
