Do you think they just let anyone publish in a newspaper? Outside of cable access, you couldn't just hop on TV previously either. This is entirely a social media age problem. This isn't "OMG, we're censoring" it&#x

The "Big Platforms" used to be newspapers, and then TV.... there has always been editing and curation. Social Media actually was a huge "democratization" of the ability to give a very large voice to some very minority v

Common language is always needed - this is CDG, a large airport with many flights. It is important that all planes have situational awareness. If half are speaking French, how does the pilot coming from Seoul have situational awareness?

Not just deference. They crashed without ever declaring an emergency. Ultimately, ATC could have been better - but that was a pilot CRM issue.

I mean... if you're doing some video editing at work using remote storage on a 10G NIC or have an external SSD plugged in, you're easily going to find yourself in a contention scenario that would just be solved by using Thunderbol

Yes, in the newer spec, but it does only leave you with 10Gbps for everything else on your dock.

I managed to get 1Gbps (minus overhead) with the Dell version of the display. But it is highly variable based on what else my CPU is doing, which is my experience broadly with USB ethernet.

Nope, I am very much not - but I believe the twitter algo biases opposing viewpoints on popular tweets. Go look a tweet from AOC, and then from Ted - the replies I see are almost all opposing views, not the most popular replies or anything

Panic rooms will never get cheap - except in new construction - though. Unlike cars, houses aren't replaced every 3-10 years. Retrofitting panic rooms will always be expensive - just like retrofitting airbags to a car without them (no

Those are not antonyms. I don't think most people would argue that Musk isn't a visionary. I also don't think most people would argue that Musk isn't divisive.

Calling that R&D is disingenuous. You can learn valuable things on your way to making stupidity, of course, but that's not R&D. Twitter does a fair amount of OSS, though I can't see a lot of contributions that probabilist

Not hard to believe - younger people make up the bulk of their audience, and probably the bulk of HN that trend more liberal. That's a reflection of the userbase though, not necessarily of Twitter or HN's views. I would bet mos

OK, so the recommendation engine is liberal? I don't know how the recommendation engine works, but Barack Obama is the most followed account on twitter I think, so can see how they'd suggest that... But if the recommendation engin

This post tells me more about your political/ideological views than it does illustrating Twitter's alleged ideology, or what problems that has caused.

There were far more than two involved. That article just covered the two. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Tech_Employee_Antitrust_L... And that’s just the ones they had enough evidence against.

Do you have evidence to support that the strong union in Seattle negatively influenced the SC voters? SC has the lowest union membership in all 50 states - there's a lot of ingrained bias against unions there, and I'm not sure I s

If you think their strategy is to lull someone else into attacking them, I guess? Occam’s razor is more likely - the west vastly overestimated their capability practically the entirety of the Cold War, and you’re doing it again now.
