It's all over the real news. You only read the fake news, so you wouldn't know.
In the US, the border patrol is forbidden from arresting and deporting people crossing the border, by executive order. States are prohibited from checking the citizenship of people they arrest, and deporting illegals, again by executive order. Well, doesn't matter - new executive will mean new executive orders, and everything will change.
And you turned out to be an guy who favors welfare for all and objects to any criticism of refugees. Gee, who saw that coming. You probably feel virtuous every time you post in favor of people-like-you, and horrified when other do just the same thing.
And, in the US, are you OK with the border patrol being allowed to enforce the law? Or do you stand behind the current situation of executive mandate forbidding that?
Using S3 as an image hosting service. S3 is also a nice cheap way to do static websites without messing with a shady hosting company. Not the easiest way in the world, but still easy enough for anyone who can code.
Really sounds like a site I want nothing to do with then. I'll add it to my list alongside Twitter. Hopefully somewhere there's a common repo that is just a repo, not a platform for social commentary.
Threatening to close down a repository (your second link) because someone used the word "retarded" is retarded.
"Retarded" is also a perfectly cromulent engineering term. We no longer manually advance or retard the timings in out cars as part of a tune-up, but people still write software that manages advancing and retarding.
GitHub is also a message board? What did I miss? Surely GitHub doesn't want to take responsibility for the contents of the code hosted there, beyond taking down stuff as legally requested and required to.
Nice move! But please also eliminate the pop-up for the newsletter. There are enough ads that the pop-up on top of them makes it come off as a sketchy site where the only safe move is closing the browser tab.
How so? It's just the natural tendency of the weak minded to want to give power to some authority anytime something might possibly harm them - no matter how far-fetched. It's the same manner of thinking that gave us the TSA.
Feudalism (idealized) is the ultimate in central government: all authority flows from the king, all ownership of wealth must be confirmed by the king, all positions of power are allocated by the king. In practice, of course, that was just to unwieldy at the time so even a baron had a lot of power if he was far enough away from the king.
Anyway, it's the left I see who insist on an aristocracy (the credentialed elite - the smart people) making all the important choices and condemning democracy because people vote the wrong way. We hadn't heard so much of that n the US until Trump, but there was sure a lot of it in the EU, doubly so around Brexit.
The only argument I saw you present here is "I'm scared; an authority should make me safe". Sure, the chance that you'll be injured by a Samsung IED is less than your chance of being struck by lightning, but the important thing is other people's freedom to keep using the device if they want to is less important than the fact that you're scared.
Everything we do in life harms someone else, somewhere. Freedom requires accepting de minimus harm form others.
Everything is unsafe. Get over it. Freedom requires tolerating de minimus harm from others. When the people who would rather text (or eat or apply makeup or...) than drive have the option not to drive, you'll find it's safe enough.
You'll certainly never hear anything in your echo chamber to cause you to question PolitiFact's judgements. Hey, if that's where you're comfortable - best of luck in life.

So what do you do about the no-go areas?

What has Slashdot become? I don't recognize the place any more.

In code comments or something? I mean, how did anyone notice? Sounds like it wasn't wordfilters or something silly like that.
$32M in SALARIES? to who?
It's the Jimmy Wales Junket Fund. Compare the cost structure for an Adam Sandler movie - quite similar.
The nice thing about the web is you don't need to waste any column-inches explaining what git is - just make the first use of "git" a link!

Well played, sir, well played.

Nope. Cars are safer than 20 years ago. The top 3 causes now are:
1. 39k - Accidental poisoning
2. 35k - Motor vehicle traffic deaths
3. 32k - Falls

Falls will likely overtake cars as the population ages, and we keep making cars safer.

You sound very frightened. You should totally give up your liberty for a sense of security.
Everything is unsafe. Get over it. Freedom requires tolerating de minimus harm from others. When the people who would rather text (or eat or apply makeup or ...) than drive have the option not to drive, you'll find it's safe enough.

PolitiFact is honest - that's verified by PolitiFact! They have a seriously left-wing bias in their "fact-checking" - might as well be WaPo or NYT.
"Twitter's rules match US law."
Like I said - it's your right to think you're right. Enjoy your community-based reality.
PolitiFact, the Democratic propaganda site? Eesh.
I've had more than one prospective employer require a FB account, and stating "I have no FB ID" was an interview breaker.
What field? What companies? Name and shame. Unless it was an interview with with Facebook, I'm skeptical without details.
Fake news lie "hands up, don't shoot" that got people killed?
Fake news like the Duke lacrosse team rape story? (Or Rolling Stone beclowning themselves, if you prefer.)
Fake news like Rathergate?
