There's never enough room for everyone to move up. If you're comfortable in your role, stay there. But don't expect any more promotions.

Seniority really isn't worth much on a software team because no matter how high you climb, there's always someone above you who can override your decisions. Once you have stayed at a company for more than 3 years, leaving for gree

There's a subtle sense of exuberance shining through in this article that makes it a gratifying read, even if you've never heard of the company before. Kudos to them for their decision not to bow to Apple's demands. Please te

How do you figure? The word "encryption" doesn't appear anywhere in the bill.

They are absolutely moving forward with similar plans under the banner of "5G." 5G is nothing but a big Trojan Horse. I am amazed that more tech people have not caught onto this yet. https://www.sciencedirect.com/s

The author's co-workers are objecting to using any version control at all. Here I am thinking, they must be database admins ;).

Yep. To be fair, you really need to combine it with a good ticketing system to get that effect.

Imagine if instead of having to go ask the author why they made a certain change to the code, or look it up in documentation, every developer on the team already knows the reason behind every change made to the system, and this is true goin

Ajit Pai claims to be a "free-marketer." If 5G is oh-so-amazing for consumers, then why aren't T-Mobile and Sprint willing to invest in it without the government approving this huge merger deal? I mean, it's a veritable

Email and usenet both existed and ran just fine before Section 230. There's good reason to think that low-volume, heavily-moderated forums like this one would have no problem without the CDA. > Social media as it exists today would

Thanks, I didn't know about those cases. This is one of my favorite topics in tech and I learned something interesting from our discussion. As I've pointed out to other commenters in this thread, I still think your analysis makes

Agree to disagree? You still haven't explained the moderation thing, and I'm curious how you arrived at that point.

The details and complications aren't the general taxpayer's problem, though. It's Google & Facebook's problem. We don't take any of the profits they made off of Section 230 -- why should we have to pay to clean

by tboyd47 7y ago
The analysis you present is very misleading. The CDA doesn't say anything about retroactive moderation or pre-vetting, but grants legal immunity with no regard for moderation styles. So how do you get from here to there? > So we co

I should have realized this in my first reply, but your argument is exactly what I mean by begging the question. Facebook and Google occupy a legal grey area between publisher and common carrier that was literally created by the CDA. So you

by tboyd47 7y ago
Huh? Are you saying Google and Facebook don't exercise editorial control? They definitely do, and the whole point of Section 230 is to give these companies editorial control without the legal liability that goes with it.

by tboyd47 7y ago
It's clearly a complex legal issue, but is there any logical reason why the internet should be treated differently from print and broadcast media in that regard? The only reasons I've heard are related to how -current- internet co
