That's a huge benefit of Android over iPhone. Thanks for reminding me again why I prefer Android: I can install whatever I want, without getting permission from Apple (not that I want to install this crappy app, of course).
Yeah, I should be nicer too. You are a cool person.
I think what you are saying is that the government is not allowed to censor, but private companies legally are allowed to censor. And that is true.
But I would like to draw attention to the fact that freedom of speech is more than just government intervention: if private companies censor your freedom of speech, then it is still censored.
Freedom of speech is the right to articulate one's opinions and ideas without fear of government retaliation or censorship, or societal sanction
Legally the government is forbidden to censor,. You are right that private companies aren't under the same obligation, but they still can censor. Like WebCensor does for people who want it.
True, but some people going into a field don't really know what they're getting into, so we want to show them the sort of thing they need to be able to learn.
I honestly have no clue what you were referring to there.
If you want corporations to censor free speech, then you oppose free speech.
If your entire reason for wanting them to censor this speech is because you disagree with it, then you are a hypocrite.
Personally I think the concept of a filter class is backwards.......instead of dropping a bunch of people, if you have those who want to learn but aren't getting it, you should figure out what they aren't getting, and help them around it. Maybe offer a remedial class if necessary, or (as in this case), change the way the class is taught.
Of course, you should be careful to not drop the quality of the education, but there are enough potential areas for improvement that it shouldn't be a problem.
Sure it's 'extensible', but the extensions have thus far for me been extremely ill-fitting and low quality. It reminds me of the 'plugin' fad of the late 90s/early 2000s when a lot of applications pretended to be incredibly extensible but really it was just providing clunky entry points to pretty much standalone apps.
Sigh. If only VIM and Emacs had a plugin system. Or Eclipse. Or Gedit. Or even Visual Studio. What a world that would be, where plugins were no longer a differentiating factor between editors.
The first amendment limits the government. Speech limited by someone else, even if not the government, is no longer free.
Here's the reality: if you agreed with this speech, you would be upset at Cloudflare. The only reason you like what Cloudflare did is because you dislike that speech. You are a clear hypocrite.
Now, I wouldn't advocate for a government crackdown, because I'm a big believer in the first amendment
You believe in the first amendment, but you don't believe in free speech. You want them silenced because you don't agree with what they say.
The only reason you are ok with them being silenced is because you don't like what they are saying. You are a hypocrite first class. You should go into politics.

Photoshop + Excel and there is no reason to have Windows at work.

Real men put their code on FTP and let the world back it up
I'm not saying we should force Cloudflare (or anyone else) to host their site. But I still disapprove of their actions.
If you owned Cloudflare, what would you have done?
Yeah, I should be nicer too. You are a cool person.

That's a worthy point.

Specifically: don't allow new office space to be built if you're not going to allow new housing.
Dublin is still super expensive, though.

It actually is easy to find opposing viewpoints from economists, if you put the tiniest effort into searching.
Of course. It is a political topic, so politicians will find economists who agree with them.
Whereas I linked to an actual survey, not random news stories (which frequently misrepresent science anyway).
In other words, exactly as stated, you want to coerce Cloudfare to ignore the content of their speech.
In what way have I coerced them?
Saying what I think they should do is not coercion, learn to think.
Cloudflare is absolutely not obligated to do business with anyone, certainly not under the banner of Free Speech.
Wow, way to set up a strawman. Bravo.
Free speech as a concept isn't limited to government only.
if you agreed with this speech, you would be upset at Cloudflare I do and I am not.
You agree with the speech of the neo-nazis?
Violence is illegal, as it should be. Speech is not illegal.
you seem to be the hypocrite in believing only the Nazi's should have that freedom.
You so bizarrely twist my words as to make you seem completely illogical. There is nothing I said that could reasonably be construed that way.
Cloudflare should not discriminate based on the content of the speech. This is a fairly basic principle.
The first amendment limits the government. Speech limited by someone else, even if not the government, is no longer free.

It's more topical than the article
And you actually believe that businesses should be forced to do business with Nazis, helping them spread their message?
Is that what you think I said? I didn't. Please read my post again.
In other words, they punish the people who actually know what they're doing
Not really. Unless by punish you mean they have bigger class sizes.

Print your resume out as a PDF. Everyone accepts that.
Also, super not impressed that your explanation is working around the bugs in this crappy software
If all you can do is use Microsoft Office, you have a miserable life ahead of you. Nmap would at least give you something of interest.
But hey, you know, some of these guys won an Xbox.
