Agreed. Freedom of speech doesn't begin and end in the Constitution. Its an American ideal, embodied in the Constitution to show we mean business. But at every level, we mean that everyone is born with the right to speak their mind. Opposing that is un-American at core.

To say "I suppressed their speech but it wasn't unconstitutional" is a very poor defense - that what you did can't be punished by the supreme court. I'm supposed to respect you for that? Its not just inadvisable and unfortunate; its wrong. At least here in America.
What you're calling bias, I call caching. Caching is indeed an awesome property of the memory, so you don't take time computing whether fleeing from the danger in front of you is a good idea or not, for instance.

The problem is that cached thoughts are treated as facts by the brain. That's perfect if the thought is accurate, and it helps you interacting with the world. Now, what I call bias, is when the cached thought is out of sync with reality. The speed is no longer useful, as your brain is actively pumping falsehoods to your consciousness. That's the evil thing that needs to disappear.
I think a smarter solution would be to build a test runner that can run every .js testing framework.

And empowerment > infantilization
I was working for a small temp company when I was just starting. I was hired to do some server work, but ended up developing a system to automate most of it. So my job became more developer. However I was still getting paid as a server admin (and the low end of that to boot). So I asked to get paid more appropriately. After asking they gave me a really small boost, pretty much what you'd expect just as an annual increase. So I went to my manager at the company, said I get paid pretty low here i'm going to think about looking for other opportunities. About an hour later, I had the boost I wanted.
Most of the people in the US killed by the US government or subsidiaries (like police departments) on an ongoing basis are nonwhite.

Citation please? A quick check reveals that is said to be true if adjusted for raw population numbers, but I seriously doubt it in absolute numbers, or when adjusted for criminality of the respective populations (which last time I checked extends to white sub-populations, like Scotts-Irish/Southerners).

And this is happening to millions of Americans?

Numbers matter, and I'd say the depredations of US police are limited in part by their knowledge that we can and will shoot back. At least I find that one of the betters explanations for their habit of "puppycide", killing dogs whenever they can, they're a target which of course cannot shoot back.
"What first struck me when learning Swift was how much play the "map()" and "filter()" functions got on the web [also "flatmap()" but I'm not as excited about that one yet because I don't love LISP and it's not 1970]."

Cute. But this article demonstrates Eric Raymond's point:

"LISP is worth learning for a different reason — the profound enlightenment experience you will have when you finally get it."

Much of the history of main stream programming languages is simply a slow progression of adopting the features of Lisp. So in this case, someone who already knew Lisp would not have to learn how to use the functional constructs in Swift fluently and idiomatically, because they would already have experience doing so.

(Yes, I know this does not apply to all programming languages and programming language features, but it's surprising how often it's true! Paul's Graham take on this idea here: http://www.paulgraham.com/diff.html)
Virtual particles are an artefact of the calculation method usually used, perturbation theory, and the Feynmann diagrams that produces. They needn't exist with other methods.
When I checked (in 2013), Ubuntu had this problem, and Debian did not.

Ubuntu shares a lot with debian, but grub configuration is one thing that Ubuntu appear to be doing on their own.
I'll bite the Ubuntu part.

Ubuntu was the second Linux distribution I put my hands on back in 2008, after giving Fedora a try and being frustrated - it was a system administration internship at my university, every server on the campus ran Fedora and our "CTO" (and also my boss) was a heavy Fedora user. Ubuntu was so much more welcoming for a person coming from Windows.

When I began doing some serious job in the cloud (~2010) it was on AWS and apart from Amazon's own AMIs, Ubuntu was the defacto standard - I even remember reading that it was the most used distribution on AWS back then (don't know the numbers nowadays).

I've never felt that I was using something under engineered, bloated or big. It simply worked very well, had fairly updated packages and a 5 years support that has always made sense to the tasks and jobs I've dealt with.

I like to think that despite some questionable choices, Canonical has always had a honest marketing approach with the Ubuntu brand, partnerships, embracing the cloud (juju), etc. When Vagrant came out, Hashicorp had the Ubuntu based box and now canonical maintains its own trusty box. It just always seemed to be present on every corner of my career so far, and it never let me down.

Please note that I'm not saying that Debian is not a superior choice, I just think it is unfair to look at Ubuntu with disdain and bring JavaScript and Ruby developers, as if the languages or its developers shared the characteristics you've brought. I simply never had a reason to move away from Ubuntu or try Debian.

"Google argues that the commission's proposed remedies, which include obliging its website to display ads "sourced and ranked" by rival companies, would only have a legal basis if it were a monopoly provider of essential supplies such as gas or electricity."

Interesting. So, Google isn't a monopoly or web search that it provides isn't essential supply. That means, as I understand, there are plenty of comparable rivals in the search area - or the search itself isn't particularly important today.

Is it so? Haven't heard about Europe-based - or anything-based search engines, which were as successful as Google, or even by half as successful. Similarly, I don't know many working people who don't search on the Internet daily. May be they can avoid doing that, but they probably don't want to.

Sounds strange.

I used to really enjoy /b/ - sure, there was always a lot of shit on there, but it was also the centre of absolutely unrestrained creativity. From memes so funny that they still crack me up, to sorting algorithms so novel that they changed the way I thought about solving problems.

As I see it, two things happened:

- I aged. I was in my mid-twenties when 4chan launched. Now, I'm in my late thirties. You won't understand how much the years 25 - 40 will change you until you've been through those years.

- The community's standards changed. Back in the day, unrestrained creativity was rewarded. The last time I was on /b/, unrestrained cruelty was rewarded. I can't picture Gamergate happening in ~ 2008...

> Food is the key.

Agreed with this. I don't find it necessary to skip meals though, I just ensure I get a good, solid breakfast at the appropriate time at my destination (I also change my watch to the destination time early too, I find it helps psychologically). I can't imagine skipping meals during a long journey which is already stressful enough as-is.

I have not, perhaps I was being a bit hyperbolic but I think in general the sentiment is still mostly true.
I've often made the comparison between the smartphone industry and the VR industry, likening the current crop of VR solutions (Oculus, Vive, etc.) to the first Treos and Pocket PCs. Those devices were the some of the first phones that qualified as legitimate smartphones and could perform the tasks associated with smartphones (email, web, calendar, media playback, 3rd party apps, navigation, etc) in a manner that was acceptable to early adopters and enthusiasts.

It took a while before the work done in that space could lead to more modern hardware iterations that brought the same features in a more ergonomic and streamlined device (like the iPhone and its contemporaries). If VR is going to take off, I can imagine a similar scenario.

These first devices will be the first real, functioning examples of consumer VR tech that doesn't totally suck, but they'll still be a bit bulky, often require a more powerful computing device to do the heavy lifting, and won't really be appealing outside of the enthusiast and early adopter space. It'll take some time before the displays and HMDs are smaller, lighter, and don't require as much in the way of offboard processing power. Once the hardware catches up, we'll be more likely to see more mainstream telepresence, communication, and entertainment users getting into the space whereas now it seems to be focused on tinkerers, developers, and gamers.

This article almost seems like the introduction to a different, better article. Just as it gets past the obligatory "compare to the 90s" and "mention porn" and "reference ugly devices" and "remind everyone AR is a thing", it just ends.

As someone working in the VR industry, I guess I have a much higher exposure to these sorts of articles. After a while, it just starts to look like everyone is sitting in their coffee shops or bedrooms or what have you and saying to themselves, "welp, if I don't say anything about VR, people are going to label me irrelevant, so better see what everyone else is saying." Hell, there isn't even a reference to 3D films and TVs! The Economist is really falling down on the job here.

Actually I think he does believe in a "more open and connected world is a better world". Here is an acid test to see that it is true.

Facebook is investing a huge amount of money and resources[1] to connect the world. You may think that they do it only for money which is fair, but as Zuckerberg said on Bloomberg[2] there is not a lot of money to be made, if not at all, by fighting to give internet access from mid to poor countries. " If we were primarily focused on profits, the reasonable thing for us to do would really just be to focus on the first billion people using our products. The world isn't set up equally, and the first billion people using Facebook have way more money than the rest of the world combined. So from a biz perspective, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for us to put the emphasis into this that we are right now. "

Even if he does it only for money, what he is doing will only be profitable after more than 10 years. And the profits won't be exciting because of the poverty, the small growth of these counties, and their capacity to have a better GDP per Capita. With $15 per day what can you do with that? And with this total amount to be spent how can you have any CPC being not close to 0? It will be better for these people in 10 years maybe or more but, not now unfortunately...

So his mission does seem to have a more open world and to connect people first. You have more in the interview.

Were you involved in 4chan in the early days?

My experience with 4chan did change. As I mentioned in another post on this thread, I have aged significantly and that may be to blame. But /b/ in particular went from being a community where unrestrained creativity was rewarded to a community where unrestrained cruelty was. For me, the change was absolutely obvious, but again, I was in my mid twenties when 4chan launched and I'm 38 now...
Why doesn't what I'm saying make sense?

Absolute freedom of speech is tyrannical. It gives the privileged enormous power to do harm.

Freedom of speech must be limited so it is a power against the powerful, not the powerless.

Protecting people from hate speech and incited violence is not "infantilisation". It's basic human rights.

Actually, the reason I use Ubuntu instead of Debian is that most language runtimes I use (python, for starters) were, for quite a few years, more up-to-date. Of course I could use unstable, but I'd much rather use Ubuntu's LTS and security updates.

Yes, Debian will pretty much just work, but back before 7.x it would also be a pain to support a number of applications (we mostly rolled our own builds of "modern" runtimes and libraries we had to use, with predictable lag times and dead ends). Ubuntu takes all of that pain away and has relatively new stuff, even on LTS (sometimes through backports, but hey... nobody's perfect).

I also left RedHat because of the way the distro evolved, but never jumped to CentOS because at that time yum was slower than molasses, and I'd much rather use a Debian derivative anyway.
I've had some mixed success with Raspberry Pi's spontaneously failing as well. This is perfect opportunity for a dual or triple redundancy lockstep MCU to take the place of the Raspberry Pi.

All true. But FoS is also a normal behavior used by people everwhere, to make themselves clear.

Its supposed to be a human right, like life and liberty.
Many (maybe most?) proprietary trading firms are 1 or 2 person affairs where the difference between "their" money and "their firms" money is a piece of paper from Delaware.

Again, these terms are loosely defined in the industry and the only reason it is important is because of the behavioral expectations.

If you trade all day, whether with your own money or someone else's, on professional trading platforms (which TT or trading technologies is a very commonly used example) you should be held to different standards than someone who occasionally buys and sells shares via etrade. It is your job at that point to understand precisely how stop loss orders work and no one should give you sympathy when you do your job poorly.

If we aren't going to use "retail investor" to distinguish between those 2 use cases thats fine, but we need a new terminology in that case.
