If a link to google search is what you think passes as debate then why not also check out

http://www.google.com/#q=debunking+evolution

The standard of debate is likely to be at a similar level. If you actually have an confidence in any of these 'debunkings' then why not point out one that you think will stand up to scrutiny?
I didn't vote your comment, but "Wikipedia" does not agree http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Yearly_working_time_2004.j...
I think your accusation of me being in an ivory tower is more than a bit unfair. You agree with all my points after that.

Yes, your younger siblings only have Facebook accounts but there is nothing stopping them from creating alternative means of communications except for a(tiny) level of effort.

It's far different from a situation with a local phone monopoly.

I don't even know the argument here anymore. Everyone accepts that Facebook should be allowed to censor whatever they want. If you are mad at the general populations acceptance of that face then that is fine but you have to accept that the great majority of people don't and won't ever care about these issues. At most they will complain for a day or two than forget about it.

Nothing on Facebook is private so saying they censor private conversations is wrong. They censor conversations using their medium.

I had to wiki COICA(not american) but I fail to see what this has to do with this discussion. Could you provide some context that I maybe missed from my wikipedia reading?
Unfertilized chicken eggs don't have brains either, right? They are still "unclean".
I have a friend at http://maomium.com who is customizing (or decorating, as you wish) standard Ikea furnitures. Each piece is unique as he draw everything by hand (lots of work and dedication involved here).
America the country is the thing causing these problems. Americans have more control and more responsibility for that country than anyone else in the world does. Everyone else belongs to another country they have to worry about, and do worry about, more successfully on the whole. You're not seeing Italy firing bombs at the Middle East right now.
> The military trials of which you speak deal with military penal code as set out by Congress, not by the President

Passing the laws is not being part of the process of applying them (its also inaccurate to say that the UCMJ is "set out by Congress, not the President", since the current version of the UCMJ wasn't adopted over a Presidential veto.)

> Likewise the trials are overseen in the end by the civilian Supreme Court.

Which, given the length (both procedurally and temporally) of the appeal chain is a far more distant involvement of a non-executive actor than is the case in civilian trials.

> You're right that an independent actor is what is needed in general, but Col. Lind does not report to the President on this, she reports to the Commanding General of the Military District of Washington

The existence of intervening steps on the chain of command does not make a military officer independent of the Commander-in-Chief.

Those filters cost way more than normal HVAC filters though.

By comparison, I sourced 16"x20" MERV 13 filters for under $8 each from cleartheairinc.com.
To give a bit more detail, I’m a single founder with way too much on my plate so the promise of this being able to enable me to put a GUI in front of my FastAPI-based application is really great.
The problem for the original brand is that some people are going to receive the fake bags, believe that they are the real thing, and then leave negative online reviews saying that the product is low-quality. Even if you had a hologram or serial number on the real thing, you can’t expect people receiving the fake to be aware of that or care.
With the battery removed there were ways track phones at least in the 2G days, you won’t be able to use cellular tracking but the phone could be detected by flooding the area with RF and looking for a specific signal pattern that would happen wether the phone was powered on or not or even if it didn’t had a power source.

I don’t know if the new phones can still be tracked like this but in the early to mid 2000’s you had airborne pods capable of detecting phones in remote locations even those which were off/without a battery.
Is there a limit on the number of contacts Clubhouse would sync?

I understand Google heavily rewards new product launches with promotions. Is that part of company culture not at all within the GCP org? I don't know, I'm asking.

People aren't conflating GCP with the rest of Google. They're just unaware of any markedly different promotion incentives in that org.
Using force in the protection of the public good is the legitimate reason for forming a government in the first place.

Even strict libertarians believe in having a government to deal with crime, war and epidemics.

"Authoritarianism" is something else.
> Google has never been implicated in a plot to hack the U.S. presidential election.

Sure they have. The very same election as Facebook (and Twitter), in fact.

I think the "while working" wording was a little too subtle. It is meant to be more literal than usual in this case.

I just made bread earlier today, so I'll have to save this for the next round in a couple days. Employing Pomodoro is an interesting way to keep productive structure going when it can be so easy to slack off as the world shuts down around you.

I even try to keep my sleep par usual, even though there isn't really anything stopping me from sleeping in otherwise. When we all get back to work, I don't want to have developed any more super lazy habits than I already have.

You just described their problem. You pay them money, whatever they ask, and are shocked that e human provided support to you
I think you give Facebook too much credit for repositioning themselves. Facebook and the news feed was a natural product for mobile. There was no pivot at all. They merely saw where user attention was going and built for that surface. I would argue they got off track by building for mobile "web" and thinking native APIs weren't important. Then they course corrected. But I think the miss here is that social connectivity was a new thing happening to software and they could have made a strong play to influence the direction of the mobile OS. They don't have much leverage now.

I'm not sure this is accurate, especially in the case of cancers. Doctors were part of the studies with at least one person I know.
Your comment reminds me of when I used to play Trivial Pursuit with my family (all much older) when I was eight or so. Of course I hardly knew anything at the time, but quickly cottoned on to the fact that "Hitler" seemed to be the answer more often than anything else, so I'd just answer "Hitler" to anything I didn't know.

It seems silly for the quality of the photos in your article to be impacted by the way you share them on a social network.
The game "Sorry" has a similar variant in the manual, listed as "for adults": instead of drawing a card and immediately using it, you keep a hand of cards and draw one and play one each turn. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorry!_%28game%29#Variations . Doing the same with Candyland would make sense once the players know how to play the basic game.
It can be a good teaching method or a bad one, depending on how it's used.

Personally, I enjoy having students come up to the whiteboard. But when we do so, I present it as the student at the board is a representative of the class. The whole thing is collaborative, and I have students who are sitting explain what the student at the board is doing.

What this means is that students who know what's going on are able to take the lead (when at the board), whereas students who are less confident can rely a bit on their classmates. The whole time, I stress "Look, we're learning new stuff and it's going to be challenging. Work together and you'll get it." This makes a different vibe than if we just sat and watched before I determine if the answer is correct or incorrect.

I don't use this for individual assessment, and I don't attach any guilt or shame. It's purely done to get students working in the Zone of Proximal Development and to get someone other than me talking.
Perhaps I would find it more exhilarating if it didn't directly contradict my own experience, and that of many others.
I've never understood trivial pursuit. Every single science question can be easily answered by anyone with a fourth grade education could answer, and yet all the other categories involve things like obscure B movies from the 1930s that no one has ever heard of.
Sneakers (1992, still holds up perfectly) and Hackers (1995, probably doesn't hold up quite so well).

edit: I'd also like to add The Social Network (2010) ... completely forgot about that one!
Sneakers as well. The world of cryptography is still as murky and interesting as it was back then. Doubt we'll find a key to everything in an answering machine though. :D

It's funny. This is in some ways the best answer I've seen to the security questions to date from anyone connected to the project. In particular, you're absolutely right that "the key question is: how sensitive is the data?" So long as you're only aggregating stuff that was already public anyway (e.g., public tweet streams), you're not adding additional risk in any obvious way.

But on the other hand, to the extent that you're going beyond aggregating and curating public data, you are adding risk. And on both your web site and in other public discussions, you seem to acknowledge that there's something there to talk about (why have a security page otherwise?), but there's been a continual marked reluctance to get into specifics about even the nature of what data you're collecting, let alone how you're managing it.

What's more worrisome, this all comes after the assertion that even though the "user functionality" code is slipshod, you're still confident that "anything to do with security is not compromised." Security doesn't work like that. If you're unfortunate enough to have a buffer overflow on the machine running your stuff, it's compromised. Even if that's only in the "user functionality" code. Even if it isn't your code at all, but some other service that you weren't using, but forgot to turn off or firewall away.

You might also want to try a bit harder to see things from the point of view of your critics. One of the things they're thinking about is the Haystack anti-censorship project, which attracted enormous hype in the technical and mainstream press, but collapsed after a much-delayed security audit found the code badly wanting. I now find a collection of laments about it[1] as the top result in a Google search for "iran social media security fiasco". That's what your critics are worried about. And I'm not sure it's entirely fair on your part to ask for a more specific run-down of technical risks than that when outsiders haven't yet seen, in specific technical detail, a full run-down from your side of what the system is supposed to do in the first place.

EDIT [in response to Tim Hardy]: I understand that you guys are under time constraints, but you and Gausie did find time to write over 1500 words of comments between you on this HN page alone. If you'd written half that much text describing your security model in a concrete, specific, technical way we'd be having a much more productive conversation.
Why not both? China will gladly take advantage of the West being busy with Russia. Similarly, Russia will gladly take advantage of the West being busy with Taiwan.

If it's China, they could even decide to take over Tesla Shanghai, thereby crashing Tesla's stock price, and the S&P 500 index a week or two before.

They know the West is fighting on a thousand fronts right now - many of which are imaginary and unwinnable - so the more fronts that are open, the easier to win in the ones they care about.
Depends what your time horizon is. Over a long enough time period I fully agree with the OP.

In the next twenty years, not likely.
The Economist, a journal that speaks for the British millionaires...
Agreed. And to the specific examples, it's arguably more important in an article to briefly explain what the function of NATO is and why it's important/relevant than to simply state it's the North Atlantic Treaty Organization which tells me zero if I don't know what NATO is.
The Browder case is appalling. For those claiming it was the fault of the defendant for waiving their right to a speedy trial, look at the “trial” section here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalief_Browder

Over and over the prosecution was not ready and over and over the judge allowed it.
Prison gerrymandering is a triple-whammy in a sense. Not only is the prisoner stripped of their right to vote, the [likely white] community where the prison is located is allowed to count the prisoner in their census for the purposes of allocating resources at every level of government AND the community where the prisoner is from loses a Census taker.

It seems like an ad could be much more profitable than the donation banner, because ads can be targeted, even with zero behavioral history. For example, if I'm visiting a page on the new Tron movie, show me ads for the Daft Punk album! Odds are I might buy it.

Also, all of the things you said about ads could be said about in-house donation banners.

* Manipulate your baser desires to get you to part with your money
* Tend to be animated... etc
* Could provide vectors for malicious...
How'd best to clarify that. Should we clarify the prizes inline e.g.

"Unlock prizes such as content x,y,x"

Or would it be better to have another page that delves into those features in more detail.

I think there's an important distinction to be made between lying to potential users and lying to friends, family, or business partners.

Morality is ultimately about results. I mean, it would be ok to lie in order to prevent the apocalypse, right?

Lying to users could be justified as a means to an end, if the end is sufficiently worthwhile. Lying to someone close to you has a much greater cost due to its potential to ruin your relationship, create lots of emotional pain, and end up causing a lot of collateral damage.

Things should work out as long as everybody is clear about where the line is: white lies to potential users -- maybe ok; white lies to somebody close to you -- not ok.
“It’s happened before” doesn’t actually mean that it is legally effective, unless it has also been challenged and prevailed in court.
WhatsApp has such a strong network effect, that a wholesale move off is very difficult. I asked my immediate family to move to Signal and they agreed.

Then came the question - can we talk to people on whatsapp using signal because friends, aunts, uncles, cousins who live international all live on whatsapp. Moving your network, their network and their networks network becomes quite the task.
Well I installed whatsapp early on when it was just and only a messaging app. I couldn't possibly have predicted that it would be bought by facebook and used to cross-reference with some dating app.
I'd recommend:

- Working with experts

- Writing and deleting lots of code

- Participating in code reviews

- Reading even more code from others

- Watch & read technical presentations

You can never truly be perfect, you can only approach it. Understanding your limitations is just as important as understanding your capabilities. Depth vs breadth is hard and you only have so much life to go so deep into so many domains.

Anecdotes (US History) are useful for building hypotheses, but I like statistical evidence for testing those theories. Unfortunately, our best source of democracy data (Rome, at least 52 Greek city-states, Greek leagues, etc.) may be 2k years old. Obviously, we don't know much about the media of the day, so it'll be hard to test some of the modern social media theories. Maybe we could compare the behavior of different municipalities.

Elsewhere in this thread is the HIPPO acronym, and that's how one ends up with Jira/Confluence: "no one got fired for buying it" combined with "pointy haired bosses love it"

It's been my overwhelming experience that managers love the _idea_ of Jira, but then the day-to-day in the trenches experience of battling its workflow, its markup, its ... everything ... gets pushed down onto busy people, and even if enough engineers revolt, now you have a "well, we're already so committed to Jira we can't leave now" style reply (again, in my experience)
Absolutely understand where you’re coming from. It can be jarring to be asked to go through those steps by a set of companies with whom you have no direct relationship. That said, data access requests can contain some extremely sensitive information and it’s important companies responding to such requests don't share information with the wrong person.

Regarding your question on data deletion; we abide by the retention policies chosen by our customers, which are typically much shorter than 3 years. For Sift specifically, the retention policy is indeed 14 days, after which point we automatically delete all the personally identifiable information we've collected on Sift's behalf. We'll be taking in your feedback, however, as this could be made clearer in both our privacy policy and our product.
Very well written and balanced article. Thanks for sharing these insights. Looking forward to another "tiny corner" of your explorations of these technologies!
He’s getting punished too. He thought he was going to be the first ruler of the entire world, and now that dream is (probably) dashed.
Absolutism is never a good thing (ironically), but you are echoing a tired narrative that seeks to undermine objective moral good by making a false equivalence.

Treating people with respect is a good thing.

Helping those in need is a good thing.

Ensuring a fair chance whenever possible is a good thing.

I could go on and on, but I think you know which side of the aisle I stand on.

I hate sports for the very reason you describe, but my objection to people who hold opposing views to me is grounded in an understanding of an intrinsic respect and value of humanity, not some ra-ra us vs. them mentality. I'm more than happy to welcome someone with opposing views if it seems they genuinely wish the best for others in their views. But on asking how they might right the wrongs of this world, their answers usually come down to "tough shit."
60 Watt incandescent can be replaced by under 10 Watt LED.
Assuming 50 Watt savings.

Assuming $0.10 kW/h (California is $0.16 ??).
1 hour of LED burn time saves 50W / 1000 * 0.10 kW/h = $0.005

Assuming LED bulb costs $2, assuming incandescent bulb is free.
$2 / $0.005 = 400 hours until break even.

Yes, true for many conditions, but everything directly related to the nervous system becomes very complicated to diagnose with precision, because the brain still remains mostly a black box in terms of how it works and how it fails to work "normally". We are learning more and more constantly but it's still an area of very active research.

>they begin to distort the value and prices of the underlying securities. In the real world

I disagree. I don't believe the problem was price distortion. Instead, it was caused by there being no means of seeing counter-parties to most of these transactions, and hence no way to measure (and hedge) the risk.

If I'm going into a deal with AIG, I have no way of knowing what other deals AIG had done, and hence no way to put an accurate price on their default risk.

If there was a "derivative" clearing house, most of the problems go away.
