[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Manually reported answer: Difference/usage of "contributor" vs. "donator" by Arshad Mehmood on english.stackexchange.com

Yeah, I went for that as well but it's close to spam.

I went for "smells Nigerian"

though +92 is Pakistan

s/Nigerian/Pakistanian/g

Well, it's not like it needs to be removed ASAP

Sometimes I'm afraid spam is turning me into a bigot

So there's no need to bombard it with red flags of any kind

@Magisch Welcome to the club

I'm way past that line

But for FWIW, expecting most spam to be from country X isn't necessarily bigotry

we have had that discussion here before, it's not that people from country X are worse than people from other countries, it's economic fact that many countries X have large populations who have no honest means to earn a living

and if country X produces a large number of spam posts, you have to weigh that against non-spam from country X, not from non-spam posts overall

chances are you don't see country X in the posts which aren't spam because you aren't looking for it (confirmation bias)

A couple of months ago, we had a heated debate in the Netherlands about 'ethnic profiling'. The police, when conducting a general traffic control, would be inclined to pull out ethnic minorities in big cars, because they were more likely to be obtained via illegal means.

Once that was known, everybody went crazy about it.

I told some of my friends, who are cops, that they should call it 'statistically selecting' instead.

Humans always looked for problems to solve throughout the history

They never said enough to anything

That's why they survived, and a lot of species from that time went extinct

Now we're looking for trouble

And the 'investigation' itself was done without any prejudice.

@Glorfindel Thats still a human rights violation

The act of pulling out someone is already a negative action

It's not that much different from patrolling in neighbourhood A and not in B because there are more burglaries in A.

@Glorfindel unless the neighborhoods have distinct ethnic profiles, there is a difference

Not really equivalent

or selecting neighborhoods A, D, and E because of their ethnic profiles, instead of actual crime statistics

@tripleee totally agree. No race is any different from another. Cultures and societies are different, as are economic circumstances for people. This can cause what is perceived to be racial differences, when it's in fact a circumstance of a group of people, who could have been any race had they been subjected to the same conditions. I'm wary of ethnic profiling. I hope that came out as I intended

racial / ethnic profiling is unconstitutional in most western countries and violates international law. It may be effective, but it's broadly illegal.

@Mithrandir you're here; that's already pretty good signal that you'd make a good mod. Some people here would make better mods than others, but nobody here would be a bad mod.

I would make the best mod

Trust me

@M.A.R. oh rly

I would make all the crappy posters build a wall between themselves and the computer.

Made out of legos, and they will pay for it

Or increase their taxes to compensate

@ArtOfCode :D

@Mithrandir It tickles

@M.A.R. so shriek like a little girl.

Honestly though, I haven't seen you much around to judge you correctly, but it's hard to be a crappy mod.

Especially on smaller sites

@M.A.R. actually... It's harder than it looks.

It's harder when you communicate a lot

You have to act all moddy

Pressing the buttons ain't difficult, no. Dealing with people...

Yeah

I'm very active in several chats.

@Mithrandir Then I'd recommend not becoming a mod

and remaining calm when they're actively trying to annoy you

I believe that I can deal with people okay...

@ArtOfCode I have experience doing that

@Mithrandir The problem is you won't be able to say some things you otherwise would freely say so

That's why I'm not sure I'd run for any other election myself

@Mithrandir usually a good thing. The only question about that is whether the people in those chats are going to respect your authority when you're blue?

And you're not allowed to be a jerk

And I can't do that

I might leave a disclaimer in a nomination post that I'm gonna shout at you if you annoy me

I hope they will. The only one I would worry about is Mos Eisley, and I'm not that active there anymore.

That would have been me two years ago.

Maybe not, actually

19 /64s, vs. how many /64s for you?

and I mean the entire /64 for each VPS

I have a /56 in every AWS region that supports it

ooo nice

yeah that beats me

and could have a bunch of those in each region, technically

wish i had a /56 :P

hell I wish Comcast would give me a freaking IPv6 range like they promised

but Nooooo, they give me a SINGLE IPv6 address

no prefix to distribute to my systems

@ThomasWard 'congratulations here's your /128 have fun'

BAHAHA, that's actually what they did?

@Undo "Our system shows that you should be getting [IPv6 prefix]/64 as allocateable to your systems, maybe your configuration is wrong?"

YA TARDS, I'M REQUESTING THE CORRECT PREFIX LENGTH YA NINNYS, GIVE ME!

@ThomasWard When the guy on the other hand (the sysadmin) is way better then the supporter you're dealing with.

@Undo a /128 for the 'router' address, but they're supposed to send me a /64 or smaller (but still a LARGE number of v6) if the system is configured to request the prefix

when I move back to Pittsburgh, I'm getting business class

contract guarantees symmetric speeds, static v4s (a /25), and IPv6 prefixes.

more expensive, but i'd gladly shell that out for USEFUL THINGS I SHOULD ALREADY HAVE

ah that explains it, "Device not supported" but it used to be

and i pay it off fairly quickly

right
