But this is definitely not "a void on the internet". We have several police officers who post regularly on the forum. Local politicians use it. Local businesses use it. Special interests organize on it. Zoning departments publiciz

Is filtering really what you want, though? It's trivial to filter out the nonsense from Nextdoor, too: just set up a bookmarklet that drops all the posts containing one of {sketchy, black, hispanic, male, teens, loose jeans, hoodie, 91

I don't have any data to back it up, but my theory is that Nextdoor allows bad behavior because people have been trained by millions of comment sections that confrontation on the internet is fruitless. That's a misguided instinct

Yeah, it's terrible, but deactivating your account is exactly the wrong thing to do if you're interested in fixing this sort of behavior. Nextdoor doesn't make people be shitty human beings, but it is a local forum that augme

You also pay for the lollipops. The key is that it's a finite resource with a relatively (3 stage, or whatever) flat rate. The price structure is not dynamic enough to account for the fact that at some point the value of the last drop

If you submit a request with Etag: <integrity>, the server can validate with 304, or deny with 4xx/5xx I think this would also allow the server to "pre-validate" with HTTP2 push.

Ya, somehow we think that releasing a falsely imprisoned person after decades is fixing it. We made it right! Well, no, you took away a significant chunk of their life, and likely ruined the rest of it as well. That doesn't mean, how

Why are you disappointed? It sounds like a device you bought a few years ago has a longer useful lifespan than you thought. You get to have a state of the art phone for less money when you own it longer. I wonder if devices will start to be

This rhetoric of casually discounting the possibility of government breaches in commercial networks might have sounded insightful and worldly several years ago. Now it just seems ignorant. The person you were responding to had no evidence t

Another possibility is that people will learn to care about what they read, and learn that it costs something. We don't have to tip, either. Also, I'm sorry, but I'm never going to login to Facebook to read the Economist, a

If your operation is the sort that capitalizes on machine learning on subtle signals, you capture the sorts of data that you know might be beneficial 6 months down the road. Although I suspect that you overstate the sort of "surprise q

This is a strange critique. His recommendation isn't a soundbite. It is: ask questions, figure out what you need to know to answer those questions, and then collect that data. That (asking questions and making informed decisions) sound
