In the beginning I had no idea, why people used WhatsApp. Line hat so much more features in the early messenger days. To use Line for phone or video chat was years before WhatsApp possible. But Line was mostly just in asia a thing.
> when the law in fact does the exact opposite

Yes. That’s exactly the problem people who want it repealed are pointing out: the current law offers broad blanket protection to social media companies to moderate content however they want, even if their moderation practices are highly editorial and partisan, akin to traditional publishers.

Techdirt seems to think people don’t understand that the law doesn’t distinguish between platforms and publishers. On the contrary, that’s precisely why people want it repealed or modified. Either attach platform “neutrality” requirements to these broad protections, or eliminate the protections and allow social media companies to be subject to the old legal regime attached to publishers.
Why do you think it is specifically relevant to say “He did not tell people to commit their crimes”?

Do you imagine some “correct” process exists for this situation, where Trump would face a trial and conviction for inciting the riot, and then Twitter would be legally be forced to silence him?

No such process exists, and never will, since it would violate the first amendment. Ultimately the decision of when to silence him is left to the judgement of the individuals who operate the platform.
The parent's link provides a fair summary of the report and is more detailed than the ABA statement, which is also fair, just less detailed.

The investigation was about two things; Trump's collusion with Russia AND the obstruction of justice.

The report finds no overt collusion between Trump and the Russians. It details promises of influence to the Ukranians and the Russians by sleazy power brokers like Paul Manafort and Felix Sater, and Trump's associates soliciting Russians and pretty much anyone for Hilary's deleted emails but again, no substantial evidence of direct collusion.

Whether there was obstruction of justice seems like a much more legitimate cause for outrage. https://www.lawfareblog.com/obstruction-justice-mueller-repo... details the numerous ways this was attempted, though full-disclosure Brookings is left-leaning centrist think tank.

The full report is here https://www.justice.gov/storage/report.pdf which you don't need to pass the bar to comprehend, though you do need a lot of free time. I've only read a few parts but it's further confirmed my belief that all politicians (right and left) are completely unscrupulous and must be in order win. "Democracy" is a vague, fungible concept that anyone vying for power will either disregard or interpret in their favor.
> If that is a known issue and this machine can beep if a) you've built a bomb, b) you've moved your plants from inside the house to your garden, then you should reevaluate the idea of this particular test in the first place.

It's more complicated than that. Anecdotal evidence suggests the trace analysis machine has a very low false positive rate. The fact that agents are trained to re-run the test repeatedly also suggests the machine has a very low false negative rate.

Given a sufficiently low false positive and false negative rate, the right answer may be, if it repeatedly triggers on a passenger, to question that passenger further.

Of course, with increasing reliability of the test comes increasingly severe questioning when the test repeatedly fails. In theory you want the level of the response to be commensurate with the reliability of the test. A perfect test convicts you as soon as you fail it. An imperfect test such as this requires humans to actually follow-up and investigate the failure.

The tactics, ethics, and legality of the how that investigation proceeds... I think that's another matter entirely, from whether we should be employing trace analysis in airports in the first place.
Thats interesting. But it seems like the AltStore requires running a AltServer which is only available for Mac or Windows. It would be great if they provided a Linux build too.

It is kind of ironic though that I need to bring up a QEMU VM to run the AltStore binary which lets me run QEMU on my phone :D
I used to think that way. My customers liked my products, but I didn't really get many new customers. I doubled down on improving the technology. Then I ran out of money.

"If you build it, they will come" is only very rarely true, and chances are there was some kind of submarine marketing going on anyway that you just didn't know about.
That's inaccurate. Plenty of journals don't allow you to put up a copy on your personal website. For example these fine folks that run many journals:

All the best to the team! Hats off.
So called "green OA" practices are:

b. often include provisions created by the publisher designed to make discoverability outside of the journal difficult

> Legal or diplomatic solutions will only bind parties that intend to follow the law.

Simple rule of thumb: This argument is always false.

Our society is too complex. It is never about good guys vs. bad guys. It is mostly about money, who has the most and how laws can change incentives and prices.

It is the same with drugs, guns, atomic bombs and nearly every other topic were this argument is brought up. We need to get over this because it is just slowing us down.

Do you mead radar? I thought Teslas never had LIDAR.
The build executes untrusted code and temporarily authenticates with your fly.io and Heroku accounts, so we need a sandbox for isolation. Our Elixir app launches ephemeral VMs using our Machines API so it can offload that can of worms.
This is a platitude ignoring the actual facts of what went on. Producers of natural gas and electricity didn't implement the winterization mechanisms they needed to, in spite of the rest of the country doing so and decades of recommendations to do so. No one required them to do it, though, so they didn't.
A lot of this is grossly exaggerated and anecdotal, and actually rooted in homophobic tropes from the Reagan era so as to dismiss HIV as a “human disease” and instead condemn it as a “gay disease” that the LGBTQ+ had coming its way. The average US gay man has had no significant number of sexual partners more than the US straight man, and this has been backed up by study after study. Do you have actual sources?

Anyways, in absolute numbers now there’s more heterosexual people who are testing positive for HIV than gay people in the West (and it’s been the case globally for a while, too)

As someone who used to work for a bioinformatics lab, I'm confused by this tweet.

The storage now being limited is for Gsuite- Classroom, Meet, Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc.

These aren't the products you'd store a lab's datasets in. They simply aren't designed for that and won't provide acceptable APIs, performance, etc. Thus although this change may stink for university IT, I don't see an alternate world where this lab had embraced Gsuite storage and was crippled by it.
Doordash and UberEats drivers LOVE doing that. Nothing better than having your hamburger, wrapped in a thin sheet of paper, inside a thin plastic bag, sitting on the cold dirty ground outside lol.
The EU cannot force anything. It would be enough for the company that provides WhatsApp to not have any business in the EU (today that's FB, it could be a spinoff tomorrow).

The only, weak, solution would be to force the EU ISPs, on an European level, to block FB. Blocking on itself will not be easy (technically speaking) and good luck to have a consensus on that among our countries.

I completely fail to understand why many US companies, operating on US grounds care about GDPR at all. I would not and, please, sue me. Even the ones that block access from EU are overreacting.
I also used simple and saw the writing on the wall a few years ago.

I’ve since moved everything to Fidelity and it’s probably the best option.

Correct, but I don't think it's far-fetched to expect a slightly higher standard from a science professor such as PZ Myers.
Except that everything I've read about Netflix indicates that they're not risk-averse. They seem to be innovating in just the right areas.

And yeah, I may be reading into it, since I have some frustration with large, process ridden organizations right now. I'm just saying, this is only one guy's take.
I found something that didn't feel like work, turned it into my career, and then realized that when there are real business outcomes riding on it, suddenly it feels like work. To the point that I now don't even like doing it as a hobby.

It is definitely work. You may /enjoy/ the work, but you are still working. It is essentially night school without the drudgery and slow pace of actual night school. Not to mention you can learn what you want when you want it.
This has nothing to do with Akamai being able to target users accurately. Google doesn't have this issue, so why does Akamai?

That's simply not true. Please argue with facts.
I'm not arguing the logic of it, simply stating that, to my knowledge, it's a blanket practice. Discussion, and counter-examples are welcome.
Very cool concept! I definitely will use it once it supports parsing remote assets.
Your opinion of the Kindle vs Nook is not relavant. The fact is that they are different products and the Nook is competing with the iPad. The Nook sells well because it's a cheap iPad, not because it's a color Kindle.

Amazon did not shutdown their SDK? How to you think the App store is populated with apps without an SDK? Obviously, you are just a bit biased and your opinion is not objective.
We are running such a company. We were founded in 2011, have a quarter million users, revenue, etc.

> Second, many companies, especially tech companies, do not pay dividends.

My interpretation is that indie.vc is trying to change that from being status quo. There is a largely forgotten type of business that is not covered in tech media, which is highly profitable and pays dividends.
Eww. So now the entire system depends on database matches back at home to work at all (since positions are relative, not absolute) and you have to test and engineer it significantly more to look for possible problems caused by hacking it this way.

Just eww. That's a terrible idea. Just spend the extra bits and save the headache of over-engineering it and then trying to fix all the problems you'll inherently create.
Just eat a meal? I think thats an over-optimistic suggestion?

>You shouldn't be able to see exact activity with details, no reason for that.

If I urgently need to meet with someone today and I see they've blocked off the whole afternoon for a 4-hour meeting, it could make a big difference if the 4-hour meeting in question is "Critical presentation to the CEO" or "Weekly HR thing that HR spams everyone with but nobody attends and doesn't matter anyway"
> It is a government that puts American interest ahead of any other concern.

I always have a hard time swallowing the bullshit that is the American government ever held any other concern above American interest, whether the results were favorable notwithstanding.
You're clearly not a novice in this domain, but I'm having difficulty understanding your assessment without any sort of threat model.

The risks you're detailing are likely insignificant for 99% of users right now. Using TOR doesn't imply a specific threat model, and that notion weakens tor security and anonymity as a whole.
An attack has multiple stages. Stuxenet's attack formula was:

inflitrate an airgapped network -> silently spread within -> silently destroy complex unique equipment

Solarwinds attack forumla seems to be:

compromise central infrastructure -> silently spread to customers via compromised updates -> silently exfiltrate useful data/create an advanced persistent threat (APT).

Because the initial compromise (oh a bad password, oh, a compromised remote code execution (RCE) engine) was not sophisticated this doesn't look sophisticated, but even stuxnet wasn't "sophisticated" in that sense, the initial attack vector was a USB stick in a parking lot, there's nothing sophisticated about that either. There is probably a lot of sophistication behind staying silent and the exfiltrating of data that we don't know about, even the silent exploration of multiple internal networks seems like a fairly non-trivial task to scale, especially to 18,000 potential targets, if more than a handful of them have been successfully compromised in a hard to resolve way, I would call that sophisticated.

The APT/Exfiltration work is much more close to the sophistication of the virus that attacked the centrifuges than the bad password. For all we know the hack could have levereaged information gained via kaspersky, telegram, or whatever other software to do sophisticated things much the same way we asked Siemens for their help.

We don't have enough information to make an assessment yet.
Thinking about the history of the perceived value of gold, I should add because it's shiny and rare, it would be part of the ornament of the religious ritual in Ancient times, where of course the religious ritual encompassed the “political process”. Take Egypt, for instance: the Pharaoh was the god himself, not an in-between dealer of some kind or the son of god or his cousin or something. Also he controlled most of the gold. And then you are a slave, or the pharaoh’s small child daughter, or something, and you don’t even know what’s gold, and you have never seen it except in GOD’s wearings, earrings, buildings, court members, etc. Gold was the visual representation and color of the Everything himself! Pretty convincing, right? It’s very clear, thus, gold was employed as a “religious tech” these days, and that wouldn’t be possible were it not shiny and also rare. Maybe there’s an element I’m ignoring here related to the development and possession of the gold extraction technology.
For some further speculation, because I don’t have the information, just like lower status egypts would admire gold-god himself (maybe these words being so similar is not some coincidence), there must have been some analogue effect from other civilizations/cultures also. Maybe other people that controlled gold elsewhere would be inspired by EGYPT GOD and copy his practices within their own theatricals, or maybe the egypts copied some other culture first, or maybe none.

Question: What would an ORM give you that LINQ can't?
a. Is "I forget [snip] wish I still had the logs" verifiable context?

b. I'm a user, and I don't think his comment was suitable. How else can users express whether or not they find a comment suitable unless they say so?

In a nutshell, I don't think people should fling around implicit accusations of hypocrisy without some form of evidence that can be verified.
I'm pretty sure that the response of most students would have been "Why am I being made to do this? What is the real world purpose of it?"

That's why it isn't trivially easy to be a mathematics teacher. The Russian tradition of mathematics teaching, which goes all the way back to the years when Leonhard Euler researched and taught in St. Petersburg,

http://mathsforeurope.digibel.be/Euler.html

does an especially good job of appreciating pure math for its delightful patterns and inherent beauty and elegance while at the same time being well informed by the many applications of math to science and engineering. One of my favorite textbooks for taking a balanced approached to making mathematics teaching interesting, rigorous, engaging, and practical is the late Israel Gelfand's and Alexander Shen's textbook Algebra published by Birkhäuser.

http://www.amazon.com/Algebra-Israel-M-Gelfand/dp/0817636773

Many of the problems are HARD--the author is not afraid to pose research-level problems to first-time learners of algebra. On the other hand, some of the problems in some sections of the book are very approachable: "How to Explain the Square of the Sum Formula to Your Younger Brother or Sister." One section, "How to Confuse Students on an Exam," is laugh-out-loud funny. I love using this book in math classes that I teach as supplementary weekend classes for third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade-age pupils who like math and who want something more challenging than what is served up by the local school systems. I have clients from seven different counties in my sprawling metropolitan area. Pure math can be fun, and applied math can be fun, and both can be more enjoyable when they are taught hand in hand.

In my experience it is definitely a problem that comes up a lot introducing Windows 10 to people who have never used a computer before. They don't know what is running and what isn't, they don't know which window is focused if there are several on screen at once, they are afraid to poke around in the start menu in a way they weren't when it was simpler and clearer, and in general don't understand the meanings of icons and menus that used to be properly labeled. Windows 95 was a lot more clear and discoverable for someone who had never used a graphical computer.

> 4. Unconscious competence

This can end up being an uncomfortable position when people ask you to explain exactly why you made a decision, and even though you probably could explain it with some effort, it's difficult because you made your choice based on experience-derived intuition. Being at the conscious competence stage may actually require less work in general, unless one gets to work with other unconscious competent people.

1 - defective product, would not recommend and will return if possible

How? With 23,000 employees you can staff up a lot of internal projects. And with $30 billion in cash you can afford to acquire a lot of external projects.

Why? I think Google has a different philosophy than Apple. Where Apple seems like a design shop with a minimalist ethos (its highly-polished product line famously fits on a conference room table, and it prides itself on what it doesn't do), Google seems more like a start-up incubator hoping, by early release and rapid iteration, to see some of its ideas catch on, knowing all along that many will fail.
This article appears to be doing some Fox Newsy reporting itself. It buries highly relevant information — that Fox didn't do that much worse than other networks — at the end in service of its editorial bent. Its point may be wrong or right, but the way the article is written is just misleading.
