Arguably, if someone wanted to return Twitter to sanity (and profitability), they would:
Fire the Trust & Safety departments with prejudice, but without warning.
Remove all the reporting functions save for spam/malware.
Reinstate all accounts removed due to filtering.
Remove all the filtering code & functionality (mutes, blocks, etc) without announcement.
It might make the thin-skinned apoplectic at losing control of a major online platform, but they're the ones committing bigotry.
So that means it's OK for them to support bigotry committed towards whites? That is, Twitter itself is a supporter of racism & bigotry, and should be listed as such by an equally bigoted SPLC. It doesn't magically become not-hate if done by a leftist in an approved manner.
Perhaps you should reconsider your use of a fallacious handwave. Your statement boils down to arguments only being able to be supported by removing all criticism.
Make a point to engage the media in places they cannot control and call out Twitter to as an enabler of racists - of the leftist type.
Stop only when they've: * Purged every narrative control feature since blocking & muting * Enabled conservatives to rejoin the conversation. * Apologized for their actions. * Run out of leftists to fund them.
When did this happen? Unless you're referring to the 1950's era law that was smote down (and took a lot of Republicans with it) from the law books, I'm not aware of one in current existence.
Android's built-in obsolescence enforcement product called "Safety Net"
Safety Net is simply a part of the Obsolescence Enforcement Suite, which automatically makes devices incompatible, even if a certain platform would work with third-party ROMs or lets the user have their way. Your device can literally be told to "stop working" with it.
In the long term, the open ecosystem of Android is going to put it in a much better place
The goal wasn't to make temp work awesome, or to lift temp workers up, it was to restore honesty about who is and isn't a temp.
Then why not adjust the law so that there is no temporary/contractor/contingent/casual classifications, just FTE? Making it bad just because it is "temporary work" makes no sense - it just enables a benefit dodge.
The ones who become important during their work... will be hired on regular I guarantee important fake-employees became real employees when their time-away approached.
Citation needed on that one - conversion rates aren't high enough and incentives don't work that way.
Schiller, Apple SVP, said it was time Apple gotten rid of the dedicated function keys
So they're just making an X1 Carbon with a white frame and fancier button strip.
Both that and the touchpad failed so badly that Lenovo reversed course on both (amongst other things). With respect to the function keys, the Carbon now has them while all models can force a startup default of function keys. The touchpad has been replaced with a model having actual mouse buttons, and can be retrofitted to older Thinkpads. Unlike Apple, Lenovo (for once) listened to their customers and gave them what they wanted.
Oh, and they have the Escape key. No need to chord Ctrl-C at a terminal or to enter a complex OSX preference to get vi commands!
Both systems include new Intel Skylake processors.......with Intel Iris 540 GPUs, while the 15-inch models ship with Polaris-based AMD Radeon graphics at the high-end.
While more fully-featured competitors such as Lenovo are already past Broadwell and ship with much better GPUs at their high end (Quadro M5000M anyone?). Nice to see them at least try to make Skylake work though.

Pretty much, except that there are no "Hosts" and no pleasant experiences with Comcast's CSR's.
If you have highly scripted Comcast employees from some back of nowhere, sic Watson on them.
Will Twitter get this right or will they fuck it up?
Since they've already used it as intended, which was to silence the right but not the left, Twitter done goofed.

systemic bigotry.
The kind promoted by the BLM and exemplified by individuals such as Leslie Jones?
Make a point to engage the media in places they cannot control and call out Twitter to as an enabler of racists - of the leftist type.

* Run out of leftists to fund them.
The more we hear Twitter trying to purge its platform of anything not leftist enough, all that you have left is the Party line.
If it wasn't evident by Leslie Jones's bigotry towards Milo Yiannopolous, it should be clear by now.
The difference is that Twitter openly supports and defends a certain political thought from any criticism.
Judging by the support of known bigots like the BLM and SPLC, Twitter's being supported and run by fascists.
It's easy to call it not-censorship if a government entity winks and nods while the private entity carries out the deed.
It's so hard being a [black racist | leftist] now a days, for some reason everyone seems to think your a vile repugnant monster.
FTFY.
Explain why it's OK to be racist towards white people while pointing out said racism is to be purged.
So all you have is reductio ad administratum, or an argument only supportable by shutting everyone else up.
It's okay for Twitter the bigots are compliant leftists, such as Leslie Jones, the SPLC or the BLM, but not OK for anyone else.
This is why Twitter is losing cash - they're putting ideology before everything else.
Perhaps they'll figure out they're on the wrong end if they haven't already.
The phone is developer-hostile.
If it had root ability, I'd be all over it.

Oh yeah, and Ohio is a "Right to Work" state.
Actually, no. Unlike Michigan, Ohio has soundly rejected RTW.
On the other hand, Ohio is an at-will state, which is a different matter.
Sorry, but most domestic tech talent is not competent
They're more competent than the offshore folks.
Perhaps you might want to train them instead of complaining about alleged incompetence.
So much for their commitment to integrity if they'll let a deep-pocketed botter buy them up.

With SafetyNet, it's not open.

Lenovo has you covered with the P70, and Dell has their equivalent too. Then again, they're beyond Skylake and offer better GPUs.
It's called a ThinkPad P70.
So you have to dig into some arcana to get keys to work when your competitors escape keys Just Work?
What irony.
