I would like to see a good rebuttal to this which is not "the end justifies the means".
I'm not a fan of the so-called alt right, but this is starting to bother me, because it doesn't look like it's going to end well—where are they going to draw the line? Would they ban people such as Alex Jones? After all, under a strict definition of "hate speech", only a hippie would be innocent. Can I use the Twitter search feature and get the accounts of everybody posting "kill all whiteys" suspended?
Does Jack think there's hope for Twitter if he doesn't fucking leave already? It's in the nature of the platform; users will keep receiving insults and rape threats nonstop anyway. By upsetting users they can only accelerate it.
Sorry if I sound aggressive, but I couldn't ever imagine Twitter doing something like this. It really is something I could only imagine the zuck doing.
Suspending accounts is the dumbest, though—the account of an abuser is likely to be in the block/mute list of hundreds of people. By suspending his account, the user will just create another and continue annoying the very same people that had blocked him already.
I wonder who in Twitter, Inc. uses Twitter at all.
CPython is so slow, they really should start taking performance more seriously.
With Python 3, that simply has never happened to me. Never.
I don't know why. I don't know what the change, what the secret sauce was. And what's even better: I don't have to care. Python now simply works for me.
So yes, Python did remove Unicode issues.
