The Wikimedia Foundation social justice efforts aren't related to the encyclopedia, that's the point of the article.

It's meant to be an educational text, no? It doesn't seem to fit any of those categories.

I think on re-reading, I'm not strongly disagreeing with you indeed. I think it's just that the article says the positive polarity posts don't map cleanly to Republicans, whereas the negative polarity posts do map cleanly to

That's a circular definition (the law is defining what's illegal, so the category it defines cannot itself be defined as that which is illegal). Though the actual legal definition in the USA isn't much better. I think the cla

Well, the point of the article is that you can verify that claim because Twitter provide enough data to reproduce their calculations, so to claim otherwise you will have to assert that all the numbers and data being supplied are faked.

That could be. It's not clear from the note what movie is being referred to. The lack of context makes it harder to interpret. The last post reflects ideological values, but appears to be a factually unambiguous claim about US law. The

Was it? Vitalik's essay studies a case where that was alleged, and it was found that Twitter hadn't intervened. The note appearing then disappearing was organic and driven by user interactions. If you or Gizmodo want to claim othe

It's somewhat decentralized. It's at least a lot more trustless, decentralized and permissionless than what the media came up with, which they call "fact checking" but is basically just a bunch of self-anointed ex-hacks

I think the biggest risk to scrum as a methodology is the fact that when it so frequently fails, its defenders constantly fall back on "but that wasn't true scrum". Like, that's 90% of all the posts here defending scru

Having been on both sides of this, and having worked closely with "the business" doing requirements analysis, project management, tech-leading and individual development, my conclusion was that your original view is somewhat close

> this is just shoddy maintenance The point being made by the author is that the app didn't actually need maintenance as far as its developers or users are concerned, which is a fair and reasonable complaint.

> GitOps is a philosophy which makes sense even on small projects. Er, does it? Root cause of this catastrophic dataloss incident is that in "GitOps" none of the traditional safety checks can be implemented. In normal sysadmin

Yes, exactly. It is a "controlled" break. The OS is capable of being backwards incompatible but store policies create an equivalent of it being not backwards compatible.

Are you sure? Java's println is pretty well optimized especially with the recent string builder optimizations.

Many distros are made up of hundreds of individual developers, not a single trustworthy source.

You're insinuating that the quoted text unfairly represents the document. You shouldn't do that. If you think there's a misrepresentation, point out what explicitly, don't use slippery rhetoric. The summaries are entirel

In theory this kind of "controlled" backwards compatibility break is good, it lets old apps work whilst encouraging developers to keep up with platform changes. In practice it has the nasty side effect of preventing the scaling of

For those who are curious, the AfD make their manifesto available in English (a perfectly fluent translation): https://www.afd.de/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/2017-04-12_afd... The chapters are: 1. Democra

It's obviously true, but you will be karma-whacked on this forum for criticising the EU. It's full of people who think the EU is the solution to every problem, and never the cause.

The Nazis were just anti-democratic full stop. They only went the political party route after Hitler ended up in jail for trying to bypass it the first time, they were doing things like beating up their opponents and they abolished it the m

That doesn't make sense. No populist parties are arguing for the mechanisms of democracy to be "swept away". They usually want them strengthened with better security and less political censorship.

by nvm0n2 3y ago
That's because the term "far right" actually does mean "far left". It's meant to be a synonym for the Nazis who were definitely not a conservative party in any sense of the word. AfD positions: socialism is bad

Worth remembering that this allows unlimited censorship of social media. What kind of things do they plan to censor? "Disinformation", broadly defined. The European Commission can now censor anything it wants, globally, and has al

Sure it does. Most of the responses on posts like these are simply aping industry talking points, where the "industry" in question is the academic/philanthropic complex. They spend vast amounts on propaganda to ensure public
