Ok, good to know, thanks. So how does 42 plan to make money? Are you happy with the program so far?

Are you sure you understand what the word “mainstream” means? A recent dictionary defines mainstream as “representing the prevalent attitudes, values, and practices of a society or group”. You don’t seem to use that meaning of the word at a

I’ve been following Lambda, Holberton and 42. All three seem to have similar models: no upfront tuition, pay later out of your salary. The quality of education seems much higher than the typical “bootcamps”. I really like this. Has anyone c

I would say they are excellent at PR. Having seen behind the scenes the reality of various initiatives, and comparing it to the media narrative they manage to spin around it... Their reality distortion field is truly remarkable. It takes se

I see. How do you define “mainstream media”? Outlets with a very large audience? In the sense that large media outlets covered Barack Obama one way, and small media outlets another?

What is “the MSM”?

If you’re looking for a connection between the civil war and modern US politics, I recommend reading about what happened immediately after the war, rather than immediately before. That period is called the Reconstruction, and it failed mi

You’re right that people being displaced by gentrification don’t have a birthright to continue living in their neighborhood. The problem is that the people displacing them do have a birthright - the birthright to anyone’s neighborhood, an

I understand that Cloudflare aspires to be primarily a compute platform. I think it’s a cool goal, and you have the technical chops to build it. But isn’t it fair to say today that Cloudflare is primarily a networking platform? We custome

Your first sentence is missing a period which made it look like you were describing an imaginary boss. “I work for someone I can trust when...”

Yes, it is well documented and you can easily find examples. But for atypical use cases you won't find a very lively community to discuss with (and with Bittorrent, there is not a lot of variety in use cases). There's just less ac

Is Cloudflare doing this in partnership with Protocol Labs, the company backing IPFS? Or are they doing it on their own? I remember that the way Cloudflare communicated around Nginx rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, because they aggress

One advantage of IPFS is its developer ecosystem. They are very focused on providing building blocks to developers, and there is a very active open-source community building on top of it. Contrast this with Bittorrent which is more mature a

Yes, exactly. Those are not contradictory. If anything, it makes it more obvious why unchecked Big Tech expansion into every market, subsidized by their core monopolies, is a bad thing for consumers in the long run.

So a facebook page was deleted. Are you sure this wasn’t Facebook enforcing their obscure and often-changing terms of service? What makes you think this was the German government enforcing hate speech laws?

Do you have an example to share? The comment I’m replying to is pretty specific about topics: homophobia and denying the holocaust. Do you feel those are reasonable things to include in a hate speech regulations?

> In US constitution, the 13th amendment leaves out only prisoners from slavery clause. It was bit shocking because US constitution essentially says that government can use prisoners just like slaves! It’s definitely a shocking feature
442.
by zapita 8y ago
Ah, you mean there is free speech and also reasonably scoped restrictions on hate speech. I’m okay with that. Do you have an example to share that shows how that is a bad thing in practice? Because I’n having trouble finding one.

What are you referring to? Your reference to politics seem to come out of nowhere, is there context for it that we’re missing?

California has a pretty extensive referendum system (although not as far-reaching as Switzerland). Overall I think it’s a positive. Although one of the dumbest and most destructive policy in California (proposition 13) was introduced by re

It’s theater. Political terrorism is not the most pressing threat we should worry about as a global society... I doubt it’s even in the top 5.

Funny since US hospitals are just as guilty as the drug companies of gouging the public with abusive pricing ... I’m not sure consumers will see any of those cost reductions. More likely the hospitals will pocket the difference.

The difference as I understand it is documentation. For Linux, the Docker docs make it abundantly clear what the security model is - don’t give access to the daemon socket to anyone you don’t trust to be root. For Windows on the other hand

You’re right of course. I just think reverting prop13 is important enough, and difficult enough, to warrant creating or joining an organization solely dedicated to that one issue. I feel like pro-housing Californians tend to tuck it into a
