It is absolutely what he was saying.

I agree, which is why it's fortunate that no one is or has suggested "cancelling" anyone for "discussing" things. The report's author(s) are advocating for removing RMS from positions of influence and authority

I'm comfortable with right-wingers not taking me seriously, since I return the favor with pleasure.

Quillette articles are rarely proof of more than the ability of deranged conservatives to get nonsense published. >Do you believe that acceptance of the theory that genes impact IQ is split along communist/non-communist lines? Maybe

Where Kendi and I (appear to, I haven't read his book) disagree is the idea that your antiracist policies must be _explicitly_ discriminatory to work. You can implement universal social goods like "everyone gets housing and health

I don't see how this follows from what I said at all.

All the talk page indicates is that the article is correct, despite what a number of skull-measuring right-wingers would like you to believe. Wikipedia doesn't have a left-leaning bias, reality does.

Personally I'd be more concerned that people don't know that IQ tests are not a measure of intelligence, and that anyone who's claiming that differences in IQ across racial lines are evidence of racial intelligence difference

The outcomes have been underwhelming because we (at least, the US) haven't actually been doing this, and we've just found new and arguably worse ways to maintain deeply racist policies.

They can't. The data model in Drive will no longer support hardlinking, period.

It would also have quota implications - if I had a 5GB file multiparented in 3 locations, I wouldn't want to suddenly be over quota because Google decided I really wanted it copied to 3 locations.

I think the UX around the trash bin is pretty good and I've always found the quota pane useful.

I disagree - rclone can solve a substantially simpler and different problem (i.e. computing the size of a specified hierarchy on-demand). Being able to store and produce sizes of arbitrary folders in Drive for however many millions of user

I think you're being naive if you think they won't roll this out to Enterprise soon as well.

lol, so in other words, you're exactly the reason they're doing this. Why did you think your university account was for "whatever random crap I want to put in it", and also as much data as I could ever want to use&quot

Trash is now auto-emptied. You can also view objects by the quota they consume at https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/quota

I think it stands to reason that if computing folder sizes was a trivial thing to implement the Drive folks would've done it by now. It's obviously useful.

> My coworker overflowed his Google Drive quota and learned that lesson the hard way. This sounds a lot more sinister than "my coworker had to delete some files to go back under his quota".

What about them restricting the visibility of a video in response to a violation of their policies is 'unethical' and 'gross'? They also don't allow sharing porn, or for people to use the service as a CDN, is that &

by deepl_derber 6y ago
Since Drive doesn't generally delete users' files for policy violations maybe the safer assumption is to assume that it wasn't deleted unless there's evidence that strongly suggests otherwise.

This has nothing to do with 'free speech' though. edit: apparently I'm rate-limited from making new posts, but JackFr's response to me below is completely fair. Sorry for not reading more thoroughly!

Just a guess but I think it means it promotes a bunch of false claims about COVID that could lead to people getting hurt or killed.
