stunt

Twitter has suspended the account for violating Twitter's rules.

The only way to make it work is asking more countries to join. They should plan this together.

TSMC has to scale up and that's a good news for the ASML.

We aren't particularly efficient species if you look at anything that we do.

Maybe not hours, but days or months. I don't understand why they haven't done anything in 3 years to not lose Apple.

I'm worried if Apple didn't push hard enough during all that 3 years, and later they moved to a different supplier for other reasons.

No, I don't think it's about blocking Github. Many of their tech companies are using open source.

For China it's safer to have a Chinese Github ecosystem. Just imagine if Github suddenly decide to block Chinese users like they did for Iranian users.

It's also strategic for their government and some critical private sector to not put their source code on an American platform. So there are enough incentives especially after everything that happened to Huawei.

Please HN! Put a checkbox in the submit form for users to confirm that the post isn't off topic for the HN, and title isn't a clickbait.

It is worth noting that Facebook blocked some groups critical of Thai monarchy just last year.

The only way out of this mess is really first to give proper and clear answer to those that are concerned instead of blocking them. And meanwhile, also hold those resourceful politicians that are making this mess with their populist tactics accountable for their false claims and their actions in the court.

Maybe we should start running government like a company. You can't survive as a bad manager for a long time. But, bad politicians can stay in politics for their entire life while their mistakes costs much more than a manager.

"When the rights of the people denied, the people rightly resist. If the concerns are not acknowledged then peace and security are inevitably threatened." - The U.S. ambassador to the U.N.

All we did so far is just ignoring the problem really. Fire is still smoldering under the ashes, and I hope we don't ignore this for the next 4 years.

I agree! That's probably why their employees are also wasting their time discussing politics in the work public channel. And I don't mean it should be forbidden to talk about politics in the work public channel. It happens, but I have seen that Github has a lot of it.

Convincing your manager to build cloud-agnostic solutions got a lot easier if that's what you like.

Let's leave this to experts to figure out the legal framework for similar cases in the future.

I personally think it was wrong. Parler ban is just the type of stuff that countries like China or Iran do and we condemn or even sanction them for it.

What happened, and is happening, didn't start over the night and the lack of moderation on Parler wasn't the root cause.

We should hold those resourceful politicians with their megaphones accountable for what they advocate and how they exploit people on social media.

Both Maven and Gradle suffer from bad user/developer experience. I think it's partly due to the culture and mindset that Java dictates to its ecosystem. The languages determines our experience, and the experience influences the culture.

The amount of commercial time on cable TV keeps increasing as networks try to make up for shrinking audiences by stuffing more ads.

That may happen to Facebook in a few years.

Xiaomi is now the third brand by smartphone quarterly global sales. They just surpassed Apple in the Q3 2020.

"Nothing has changed! We already have your data."

I have a bunch of USB-C adapters hanging around for different usage and they all have their own caveats with different combinations and different monitors. You get all sort of issues with frame rate, data transfer bandwidth, not enough power to charge the laptop, overheating etc.

All because Apple couldn't be bothered to either keep more ports in their "PRO" lineup, or at least design and sell a quality dock station for "pro" users that works without those caveats, performance and quality issues, overheating, etc. Apple only makes low-end single or max three ports adapters that aren't capable of doing anything serious. It's just lame that they aren't making a high-end loaded dock station for pro users. I hope they just do it, and they do it without crazy price tag.

That's also true with small donations. Don't forget to support them.

Illusion of wealth

Microsoft Office 365 convinces some companies to use Azure over AWS. Eating Dropbox lunch is plain sailing for Microsoft.

Humans in the future will read about our struggles with social media and our inability to fix it, and they will think we were so dumb.

Maybe what is covered in the article isn't the full story. Now that this story is public, I wonder if Github will go public with their explanation about it or they try to explain it internally.

At least form outside it seems like they pay some attention to "inclusion" and "diversity". So it shouldn't be that simple. https://github.com/about/diversity

I would give them the benefit of the doubt until they get the chance to explain it.

Everything that AWS offers comes with lots of caveats. I'm happy that good competition from Azure is forcing AWS to simplify some of of their services and make things a bit more straightforward.

The irony is that Airbus has also lost a lot of money because of the US sanctions against Iran which wasn't even supported by the EU.

Interesting points. But, unnecessary humiliation as well.

I know that's standard practice. But, none of those are happening right now. So it was a bit surprising.

> "The company also has implemented new service update restrictions at some data centers this week, reflecting the growing concern for a potential cyber attack or volatility in its service in the coming days." https://outline.com/P3tAMN

Pure speculation, but I wonder if they're also trying to protect themselves against insider threats as well with this move.

We should hold resourceful politicians with their megaphones accountable for what they advocate instead of silencing people or groups that are following them which will only irritate them.

I guess because AWS, Apple, and Google may suspend Twitter since Capitol attack was partly organized on Twitter.

That was just a lame joke. But, I think this is following the news about how much Twitter was earning out of Trump's account, and also maybe partly because election and holiday seasons are over. Twitter stock is still higher than where it was before November 2020.
