No one is going to tell you this idiot. They'll build it themselves and reap the profits.

This whole ycombinator post is stupid as hell.

He committed the ultimate sin. He wasted some rich people’s money.

He’ll be lucky if he doesn’t get the chair.

Have you ever purchased or maintained an IBM 'product?'

You better budget for at least 2 contractors to go with it.

Ubuntu.

For now. The IBM sale made it a no brainer for us to migrate off CentOS last year. They 'could' not mess up Red Hat but I'm not betting against IBM's track record.

I don't see this going anywhere. Anyone seriously pushing this will just be replaced. Chinese companies will probably take the US approach and just ignore/cover up the whole thing, or make some handwavey pithy gestures.

I'd love to be proved wrong, but I doubt it.

Yeah 'never' is a long time.

He's used up. His masters don't need him anymore, except as an 'example' that 'law and order prevails.'

It's a joke.

Or a company. Or an executive of a company. Or a member of the police.

You know how some people say, "No, no ad whitelisting. #GETOUT?"

This is why.

This guy keeps going on about how 'you should get everything through hard work and effort.'

Bullshit, cheat. Cheat blatantly. If there's a broken obvious but unintended way to accomplish your goal do it.

Otherwise one of the other billions of meatsacks roaming around the planet will do it first. Then they'll be eating your lunch.

Principles aren’t principles if you only have them when they’re easy.

The US government shoved her in isolation for years. Even with immunity why should she help them now?

I won’t be surprised if he very quickly gets “accidentallied.” He’s outlived his use to his masters and is a liability now.

If they're going for the no-logs gimmick I'll probably just preemptively block their ASNs and save myself a lot of trouble.

Did the same with Nord and a dozen other vpn-of-the-week services. no-logs means no-accountability which means malicious traffic which means you don't get to talk to our stuff.

IMO this means nothing. Facebook did the same thing.

You are REALLY going with, "But think of all the GOOD things Nazis (regardless of the era) did."

I mean, there's literally no responses to that. I'll pray for you.

You get what you measure.

Because they don't have a bunch of location information for everyone on grindr?

If only someone did something in the last few years that would make this data super valuable. Like if Chinese intelligence broke into the US governments HR system and absconded with the data (including all their personal information including where they live).

Oh wait...

What does a cyclist do when they hit a redlight?

Nothing.

People use them? They don’t have the international that Uber has but they also don’t have the baggage.

Are you really going with, "But think of all the GOOD things Nazis do?"

Where did I say... literally any of that?

The responses to your post are roughly what I would expect from posting on stack overflow.

Everyone there is just looking for someone to snipe at for internet points or they're an academic who IMO are even worse. 2019 It's a joke.

The archives are useful but that's about it.

The rabbit hole of whataboutism goes nowhere.

These people have been shooting up places of worship and running people over with their cars, all the while their supporters cheer them on.

They can get right the fuck out. Black Israelites start doing the same then by all means do the same to them.

Part of the process of getting a security clearance is proving you can't be blackmailed.

Lots of things you would think are disqualifying aren't, as long as you disclose them (being involved with BDSM is the most obvious answer I'm aware of).

The fact that they're LGBT isn't the issue with the repeal of don't ask don't tell. But if they're not out and they don't disclose then yes, this information is absolutely valuable.

Money stuff is another disqualifying event. If you're heavily in debt then you're vulnerable to being paid off in exchange for something against the interests of the United States.

This line of conversation is my point. You're debating someone who is acting in bad faith. You've already lost the thread because he's just going to come back with more circular bullshit.

Not if 'not iterating' means letting literal Nazis have a soapbox in the tech equivalent of the town square.

Yes, exactly my point.

History repeats itself and people on the left want to pretend you solve this problem with the debate club.

The average person (which includes these disaffected white males) is an idiot. They'll pay attention to whatever facebook and youtubes algorithms puts in front of them without question.

There are always disaffected people, but throwing this crap at them day in and day out for ad dollars is just throwing gasoline on a fire for a percentage of the insurance money.

If their members regularly go out and start shooting people in synagogues and mosques which their pathetic online 8chan friends cheer them on? Eeeeyup, boot their asses right out.

When the problem is with actual Nazis? Yep, real easy.
