> I don’t want to read that content. More importantly, I don’t want to advertise on the platform with that content.

Both Twitter and Apple gives you plenty of tools to avoid reading or advertising next to that content. Apple's action has nothing to do with end user preference. This decision was entirely driven by preference of a small group of tech elite.
It isn't unthinkable that some customer segments cost more to support than they generate in direct revenue - that is: are inefficient. So spending less on customers and sales channels that are inefficient may save them money.

I'm not sure that would explain them attempting to limit the availability of their datasheets though. That doesn't make much sense to anyone.
And Boyhood (2014) by the same director.
To my understanding both sativa and indica do have "sufficient" psychoactive content however with different profiles, while cannabis ruderalis is the one with no psychoactive use:

It creates an incentive to improve moderation automation and reduce moderation costs. One way to do that is to verify users, which will help with our sock puppet and deliberate misinformation problems.
Donald Trump should never have been blocked from Twitter. Where is free speech? Wake up people!
It is not a just the public sector. "Use it or lose it" budgets are endemic in large enterprises as anyone who has contracts with them can confirm.
Point taken for making a case to management, although I wonder how often management would OK open sourcing.
I don't know Mr. Thiel and have no inside information on his views. But having worked in a startup I think I can see where he's coming from. To understand his point I think you have to realize there are two types of workers in the Valley: The trail blazers and the maintainers.

Trail Blazers are the guys who are willing to work night and day and basically kill themselves to start a company up. In order to make that ordeal worth while you need to have a big pay out at the end.

Maintainers are the guys who come in afterwards. Smart people but people who have outside lives they aren't willing to destroy for the company. These are the guys who make a successful startup into a long term company

In my experience you can't successfully create a startup with maintainers. There's just too much that needs to happen in too short a time period. I think that is what Mr. Thiel is saying. His rules help you avoid a company trying to startup with maintainers.

(For the record I know there are odd exceptions to this rule that can seamlessly transition from one role to the other. But in my experience they're very rare)
I think there are just a lot of people who agree with the slant. Agree or not, though, it was obviously one sided.
Oh, it's just an advertisement.

Most of OP's submissions are also ads for "japanesecomplete.com."
Maybe it's a product of age, but I find dithering increasingly sexy.
Perhaps I'm interpreting your code incorrectly, but this seems like you can do this with PG as well? You just define a custom type and use that type in the "returning" clause? You can easily define a bunch of scalars (customer_id, first_name, ...) and an array (customer_orders[]) inside this type.
Thank you for clarifying this. I'm obviously not familiar with Twitter's code to any extent, but it seems reasonable you'd need the insertion process regardless.

Out of curiosity, can you speak to how long this bug actually appear in the wild before it was corrected?
If those experiments involve automated data collection or computer models, then stable data collection or modeling libraries would be kind of important for reproducing them.
People have jobs that require them to drive cars in other countries, too ;)
The big confrontation between religion and science happened over evolutionary theory in 1874. The Scopes trial was in 1925.

As for the present: it is said that it is impossible to be both a declared atheist and the President of the USA at the same time today, so there are some careers in which religion factors in heavily even now. And those in turn influence the scientific world directly, see the troubles with stem cell research in the recent past.
It's called J1772. My local malls already have J1772-based charge stations. Local companies to my office have J1772-based charge stations in their parking lots. Looks like your future arrived a few years ago.
It's also meaningless in that most of those billion dollar businesses changed their tech stack multiple times in their early history. The tech stack you use to get your first 50 users will probably be very different from the one you use to get the next 50 million.

And if you intend to build a CRUD app from scratch with a $100M budget, no intermediate milestones, and the expectation that it will magically work when you're done - it will fail. It doesn't matter what tech stack you choose.

Boeing or Airbus. Look up ACARS, it exists, many planes are equipped.

I find conflicting information about the Air Asia flight, a Bloomberg article claims the plane wasn't equipped, other places claim it was, but the airline wasn't subscribing to the data it generated.

It's not clear at all whether this is related to the cost of the system itself however.
It makes me happy that there a still so many new discoveries in Turkey, given that the attempt to preserve the cultural heritage is comparably recent in history and many things were lost (and I am not talking about current politics so please leave it out).

On the other hand, having visited a lot of areas in Turkey, there is still a lot more that can be done, especially for younger sites, and especially considering how significant some of those things are. Many of those are... just left there, maybe with some odd ad-hoc car park of all things. Only the major sites seem really well preserved and presented for us contemporary humans.

So there is a lot more to be done, and a lot more to learn, which is a good.
Sure let me engage then.

Why should anyone engage with your arguments when they are easily debunked both on principle, and with evidence widely available online? Why should anyone engage with your arguments when they are made in bad faith?

More to the point, can you demonstrate that you aren't trolling?
IPFS sucks big time, not censorship resistant.

Twitter is not sending anyone to a gulag. What the flipping hell are you talking about?
You're being quite glib if you're honestly pretending not to see the glaring subtext there. The intention is obviously to increase transparency in order to stamp out unwanted opinions before they even spread.
I think it's an interesting discussion topic.

The people showed up with molotovs, flashbangs, and zipties. That's intent to intimidate, even if the residents managed to get evacuated before we could prove that they weren't just comfort props from people who were merely cosplaying as terrorists.

Here's a copy/paste legal definition where I removed a lot of extraneous examples:

> Under federal law, the activity or attempted actions which could fall under terrorism charges include:

> government official kidnapping;

> arson or bombing property;

> use of explosives;

> attacking a federal facility;

> conspiracy to murder, kidnap, or maim;

> take a hostage;

> bombing public places;

I mean, they brought molotovs and bombs. And zipties. I'd say an attempt was made.

Then of course there's the fact that one of them murdered a cop by bashing his head with a fire extinguisher.
I'm curious, is there a lot of pressure to use the latest version of Blender? Back when I was a kid, I stuck with a certain version of 3DS Max to avoid exactly that type of problem. But I'm not familiar with Blender, so maybe it's not so straightforward just to stick with the old one you know.
I know of very close people having big and long psycho troubles just with one trip.
In the link above they are at ~200k units vs 36k for the second place (Chevrolet). Nobody said “world”, and even there they are tied up with BYD which has it easy with a giant billion-people closed market and local manufacturing. What are you trying to prove?
Are you suggesting they should advertise a dating app to women by telling women that their concerns over personal safety are misguided?

Frankly I don't think gatekeeping a person's comfort level when meeting a stranger is very constructive. In fact I think it would invoke quite a negative reaction (justifiably).
Make sure it has a good tripod. A friend had one and it was frustrating because the scope moved pretty easily, so between viewings it was out of wack. (It wasn't just the sky moving as it does...)
That surely would be a quick way to turn it all into inflation
If you're truly concerned about inflation, two of the best assets to weather it are gold and real estate.
From what I read, it sounded like a lot of the money was printed but fell into areas of the economy where it didnt get distributed. i.e large corporations

Btw, dry ice can be used to make patches of hair permanently white (selectively kills melanocytes).

Bitcoin has had a 50% drop two times in the last three years. No matter how bullish you are on its long-term prospects, it can't possibly be seen as a stable store of value in the short term.
At least with the lottery there are odds published and audited... ICOs maybe not so much.

That said nothing preventing kick starter for seed rounds with a cut for said audits of at least good faith intent to build business value in some way.
I want to hijack this discussion to bring up a personal gripe I have about this all being called "leadership". It is a very PHB term.

With the exception of a few outlying examples, no job being discussed in this article is a leader. A leader has followers, and he can convince them to follow him through his sheer force of will and inspirational ability. Examples of leaders: Barack Obama, Mahatma Gandhi, Charles Manson, Jaime Escalante, Joseph Smith, Napoleon, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Mao Zedong.

The people and job titles being discussed here are not leaders. They are managers. The difference is that people don't do what a manager says because he has inspired them to do so. People do what he says because they are paid to do so. That is, managers don't have followers. They have underlings.

Managers are of course needed. To work in groups effectively, a roughly fixed-arity hierarchy has many advantages, and in a hierarchy someone has to be a non-leaf node. The goal of a manager is to manage his underlings in such a way as to meet or optimize certain organizational goals. In general this is a very different set of skills than those found in the best leaders.

This isn't to say that certain leadership skills aren't helpful for management: obviously it's helpful if a manager can apply some powers of persuasion to his immediate underlings. But leadership skills are not necessary to management: there are plenty of reasonable managers with few or no apparent persuasive skills whatsoever (I'll be kind and not name names).

Persuasion is also not restricted to management: it's helpful in practically any job involving human relationships. This includes teachers, salespeople, hostage negotiators, lawyers, and magicians.

But few other career paths imagine themselves as "leaders". Teachers don't go to leadership seminars or buy ridiculous low-rigor books on leadership. This seems to be a cult special to the management community. Why do so many managers imagine themselves to be something they are not? I think it's for two reasons. First, they have power, and leaders have power, and so they have mistaken one for the other. Second, and more importantly, I think management is an awful and thankless life choice. Managers don't make anything or really contribute anything tangible to society. The Dilbert Principle is very valid here. And so managers try to imagine that their jobs ("leadership!") are more important than they really are, simply out of ego boosting.

I think that leadership is so valuable a skill, and so rare and powerful a force, that we should actively fight to prevent the management community from co-opting the term to describe the daily task of collating TPS reports.
When I saw this title, I was sure I've seen a statement like that before. I looked it up, and true enough, Paul Graham wrote this in his essay "Design and Research":

"Indeed, there is even a saying among painters: 'A painting is never finished, you just stop working on it.' This idea will be familiar to anyone who has worked on software."
Don't forget who bankrolled Darl's little fishing expedition. Just more of Steve Ballmer's celebrated leadership in action.
How about Parlamentarism?

Coase disagrees. Transactions get expensive.
the server needs to be able to read the incoming HTTP request to see if "gzip" is contained in the HTTP:Accept-encoding header and only serve the gzipped version if the answer is YES

You're wrong...this can be accomplished on the client side with Javascript, without ever involving server-side code:

I upload a gzipped test file to S3/Cloudfront containing a single line that sets a flag (e.g. supportsGzip = true).

I then include that script at the top of my HTML page. If the browser supports gzip, then that file gets read correctly, and the supportsGzip variable gets properly set to true. If the browser does not support gzip, the file is gibberish, and the flag does not get set.

Throughout the rest of the file, I use that supportsGzip variable to determine which versions of other static files to load (e.g. if(supportsGzip) {document.write(script tag src = gzip path)})
I deleted my Facebook page about a month ago, and verified it was deleted a few weeks ago. Even though I'm no fan of FB, I'm going to have to call BS on this post.

First off, figuring out how to delete your account is as simple as doing a Google search: http://tinyurl.com/ycl9der. The FB group page has the link for the delete page in the left column. This took me all of 10 seconds to find, so I think it's crappy to try to indicate it's hard to locate how to delete your account. While I agree it should be at least somewhat 'findable' via FB navigation, it's an edge use case and as such shouldn't require prominent featuring. Figure it out.

Facebook tells you that it'll wait 14 days to delete your account. Frankly, I like the idea of waiting to delete it. My son said his friends occasionally pull up their accounts when visiting a friend's house on the other's computers. If you left yourself logged in, and then your buddy thought it would be funny to delete your account, it would really suck to try to get all that data back. Leaving the account intact, and emailing you that it's going to be deleted is smart. All it takes is a login to kill the process of cancelation.

Second, AFAIK, third party authenticated/connected apps use an alternate authentication method to access your account. This is usually done using tokens for the service, plus an account issued token. If you revoke these (which is obviously an option) then those apps can't access your account. I can't imagine that the devs at FB would think it was OK to cancel your cancelation based on access by one of these third party app tokens.

Obviously if you run a local app (Adium comes to mind) that has your user/pass stored in it, and it logs you into your FB account to function, it's going to cause a true 'login' to Facebook. I was smart enough to disable Adium and delete the FB app from my iPhone based on the assumption a true 'login' would trigger a cancel of the cancelation. I'm not sure what FB could do to alleviate any confusion to others around this, but maybe they could be more clear about what might 'log you in'.

I found the process fairly straightforward, and the only thing I'd change would be an email that said my account had been deleted when they actually did it. I was a bit nervous about trying to log back in a few days after the deadline because I thought it might cause me to have to wait a few more weeks, but it worked out just fine at the end of the day.

The only thing that I regret is that everyone trying to message me over the past week or so thinks I unfriended them. In a way they are right - it's just that I did it en masse and it really wasn't a personal grudge against them! ;)
I don't chew as much gum anymore now that I'm old. But even when it was a more common habit of mine, I'm pretty sure that I never just spit it out on the pavement -- not even in my "rebel" teen years. As a matter of fact, I don't understand how you can just not care so much.

But then again, I remember an incident where a friend of mine threw a candy wrap right onto the street as we were walking about. When I asked him what that was all about, he argued that this would keep the people who clean the streets in their job. I just gave him a blank stare.

But then again, we do teach little children that it's not okay to just drop your garbage, and at the same time I've rarely met a smoker who doesn't snick their cigarette butts onto the pavement as a matter of course when smoking outside.

While theoretically speaking it does seem to sense that everybody cleans up their own garbage, reality is not always sensical. I guess we have come to accept that it's just a fact of life that people litter -- that's probably why a chewing gum ban seems like such a weird thing.
Should a dying language be "saved"? Preserving cultural heritage is all very well, but expending a child's language-acquisitive resources on a language which won't connect them to the rest of contemporary humanity seems far too high a price.

Well, obviously.
It's not the security of the passwords I'm thinking about, it's whether or not you've really enhanced it much by obfuscating the relationship between password and username. I'm sure you've thought about this more than me, but I'm a bit skeptical, since if you have a lot of users, you probably have had to create systems to make the log in process extremely efficient. If all of your users wanted to log into your system within a 24hr period, could they? Maybe a week? If they could, then an attacker can attempt to log in with each username over the same period of time.
>With UV, that mechanism is the production of vitamin D in the body, a lack of which causes a wide variety of health issues and may have a link to the development of cancer.

I imagine that vitamin D production and DNA damage are separate events. Presumably, both can occur at the same time.

So would someone who took vitamin D supplements but didn't get sun exposure be slightly less likely to develop cancer than someone who got just enough sunlight for their body to produce enough vitamin D?

If that's the case, it's not really a general rule that small exposures to carcinogens prevent cancer.
This post, like the one that preceded it, has its flaws. But I was impressed with the post that inspired the "folklore" suggestion:

(Note that folklore isn't necessarily wrong).
The fears of a plutocracy are overblown. You write that "money is power and speech". But people like Meg Whitman and Mitt Romney have tried to buy elections with their personal fortunes and it didn't work (and self-funded candidates do worse, on average, than other candidates).

Political inertia, the passions of the mob, and the maladaptive incentives facing legislators and bureaucrats are much more potent forces shaping our society than concentrated wealth.

That's in fact what I was hired to do. I told them the first day on the job that they really needed a database, even sketched the schema. But they were adamant that it had to be an Excel solution so I wasted three months trying to untangle the crap that was there all the while trying to persuade them that a DB and a simpler front end would be much better. Eventually they agreed.
You're right!

That makes it even less possible routes then, 248.

Original proposition:

Make it easy to share your network freely and securely because it's the nice thing to do.

New proposition:

Make it easy for people to monazite their networks.

Build APs that come with standard captive portal pages tied to a merchant service. Owner puts in their bank account info, user puts in their CC info, merchant provider takes a cut, and you get paid.

Heck if you're the merchant provider you could even set standard rates based on how much bandwidth is 'shared.'

I bet, as long as they were the merchant provider, comcast would go for this idea. Get paid twice for the same connection? Sweet! They already give out modems, giving out APs that make them money would be a small step.

I'm not sure purchasing a dying service with a negative brand is a good way for Google to get into the game.

With Google's recent level of seriousness directed toward social, I sincerely doubt they are looking to acquire the central parts of their upcoming endeavor.
It would be difficult to prove that Facebook has a monopoly on social media, there are many alternatives. The way Facebook handles these things is exactly the way their users want them to handle it. Facebook provides a part of the internet that is 'safe'.

Facebook and Zuckerberg's responsibilities are to their shareholders. As far as I can tell they've been taking that responsibility pretty seriously.

Furthermore, Facebook is not a monopoly in any meaningful sense of the word, they definitely don't have more than 50% of the ad revenue on the internet. As a person who consumes Facebook's services for free you really have no leg to stand on as to what Facebook is legally obligated to provide you for free.

How can you argue that kicking people off Facebook is a monopolistic practice that unfairly prejudices it's competitors? It would seem to me that the more widespread this practice becomes at Facebook the better it's competitors would do.
Splitting semantic hairs, but I would argue this is a luxury, and I'm not aware of any time in recorded history where it wasn't.
