Here are some. Note that I do not necessarily believe these ideas, just that they are considered taboo to the point that they cannot be tolerated or seriously discussed in certain circles.

* The USA is a moral country.

* The USA is morally superior to most/all other countries.

* A specific member of an in-power "preferred" group can experience unjustified prejudice, oppression, and bullying from members of an out-of-power group.

* Men and women have some neurological differences.

* Some cultures are morally superior to other cultures.

* Christianity's values are moral.

* Conforming gender identities exist for more reasons than culturally enforced gender roles.

If you added the equivalent of a spam button ("I don't like this"), took the user's history into account, and relations with other users, would there be a way to pre-flag posts much like a spam detector?

Although I suppose even if it were an interesting and feasible AI project, and even if it were useful to some users, it's probably something Twitter just wouldn't want to get into. They would be setting themselves up for endless political flak when it did or didn't work correctly.
I think "vanguardist" is a better term than "elitist". "Elitist" connotes a passive enjoyment of privilege, whereas these people see themselves much more as the enlightened few bringing the orthodox[1] to the unwashed masses by any means necessary. They share far more in common with Communists who viewed it as their duty to shepherd the proletariat towards social consciousness than with the Oxbridge set who merely take what's "rightfully" theirs without a second thought.

Yeah. When Apple claims to have invented something, they don't mean that they invented the very first instance of it, they mean that they invented a practical and transformative consumer implementation, which depending on who you are can be viewed as just as important (because what use is a technology if it can't be used on a practical level?)
Their wrapping instructions are terrible. You'll kill either the cable or one of the prongs pretty quickly. To protect the end when it starts coming apart silicone tape is ugly but effective (also works for the USB cables).
>"How about: The p-value is, in a statistical hypothesis test, the probability of Type I error, that is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true."

No, see here:
"Of critical importance, as Goodman (1993) has pointed out, is the extensive failure to recognize the incompatibility of Fisher’s evidential p value with the Type I error rate, α, of Neyman–Pearson statistical orthodoxy."

P Values are not Error Probabilities

Amusing joke and I've run across similar ones (South Park, for one, had two old guys grumbling about how long it took "PC" to run its course last time) but on a more serious note, I wonder how much of it is just the nature of young, relatively wealthy/privileged people to want to "change the world" and find a cause.

I'm a bit past college age these days but in the mid/late 90's when I was at university, there were plenty of "causes" that students took up (myself included) to various degrees and in retrospect, a lot of it came down to the newly-found freedom of adulthood combined with the idealism of youth and the lack of wider awareness that comes with a bit more exposure to the world at large.

I think it's a good thing that young people are able to see some of the real injustice in the world that some of us older folks have learned to accept (or at least take for granted) and have the drive to want to improve things. At the same time, cultural attitudes don't change through force or under threat. Additionally, there's still a bit of that youthful naivete where just because something is a huge deal for you, you may not realize the bigger issues at play or know which "battles" to choose yet.

I'm sure my attitudes will keep evolving over time but just between my college years and 20 years later, I think about how some things seemed so important and unfair back then but I've since found that there are usually bigger issues or at least more subtle and effective ways to address the problems you recognize in ways other than shouting matches or mob-mentality public shaming.
The most conservative group in the world is the avant-garde. They never change.

Because certain parts of the media have a disturbing attachment to such beliefs (despite their jobs being closely tied to freedom of speech and expression) and these types appealed to their views perfectly. Perhaps because of a certain 'holier than thou' attitude towards the general public.

It might also be because for an authority figure, this sort of thing is a great distraction. It takes the focus away from wealth inequality and corporatism and aims it at other normal people with the 'wrong' opinions.
The claim was that a pull request is not a git concept, I think that's demonstratively false. I won't deny that GitHub popularized it, but they have by no means invented it.

As another piece of evidence, see this page https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SubmittingPatches

It says Linus (and other kernel maintainer) will want a pull request from you if you want to contribute code, yet he thinks GitHubs version of pull request is, well, lacking (http://www.wired.com/2012/05/torvalds_github/)

Problem with that approach is that a lot of the worst trolling comes from one-time accounts.

I think twitter probably needs to do something about this, however. Or soon (if it isn't already) it'll become as big a cesspit as reddit, and soon after that be replaced by the next new and clean service.
Right, I understand why they couldn't make the loans (regulators not allowing it). But if someone were to establish themselves in a way that could make the sorts of loans this credit union wanted to, they wouldnot be predatory.

> If you are making loans to high risk clients, this is predatory lending.

What I was specifically replying to. High risk loans are not predatory loans. Predatory loans are high risk, high interest, unfavorable terms (short repayment periods, high-value collateral for low-value loans, aggressive collection tactics, etc.). We have to be clear when we talk about a topic to not mix the terms in a way that skews our discussion from the actual circumstances. That way lies miscommunication and misrepresentation of those involved.
No, they (currently) do not allow debt. Why is specifically debt related to disrupting ?

>It enables the output when the charger is connected to a Macbook, disables the output when the charger is disconnected

I don't think this is actually true...

I found out by doing something really stupid. The pins on my charger get really dirty, which makes the charger connector get REALLY hot (like burn your finger hot). One day, I was cleaning the pins off with a wire brush, but I [stupidly] forgot to actually UNPLUG THE CHARGER. I knew this because when I applied the brush, (the end of it looks a lot like steel wool), it started sparking against the brush.
Not quite on point, but I hope someone soon creates a small adapter with a USB 3.0/3.1 Power Delivery-compatible plug on one end, and my laptop's charger plug on the other end. Then I'll be able to invest in a very high-quality 100-watt USB power supply that will work with any legacy laptops I have lying around. I expect all my future laptops/mobile devices will be Type C/USB 3.1, so I'll keep using that power supply for many years.
It wouldn't have been so bad if you weren't paying for the high-quality engineering inside the charger itself. You get really nice, clean power out of them, but when you go through a charger every year, $80 is a little painful.
I haven't had wear and tear issues, but I rarely use it (have Thunderbolt monitors home and office, with built-in power) and I keep it in a Quirky PowerCurl when I do use it (usually only when traveling)
> PS: am I the only one who thinks those persistent bars (usually with page name/logo, some "share" buttons to other pages, etc.) at the top of a page are the worst thing to have ever happened in web design? It's pretty much standard now and it seems that not that many people care.

It's driving me crazy. It's even worse on phones where the chrome url bar/top menu will disappear when scrolling down but pop ups again when scrolling up: 95% of the time I don't need the menu, I just want to re-read a paragraph.
Monkeys may be better sharers than humans
The low volt cable must also be replaceable. Just like the wall power cable.

It'd add another connector and SKU, which may be why they attach the thin cable permanently. But so what?

I buy Shure ear buds because the cable is replaceable.

>But that doesn't work here. You will never meet the "owner" of google.com. You send it packets and it sends some back. There is no other relationship or interaction from which to infer authorization.

And yet even without a phone call from Larry Page, we all know that we're authorized to point our web browsers at google.com, and not authorized to ssh into Google's internal networks. Just like we'd all agree that we're allowed to drive on the public roads up to the entrance to Google's campus but not allowed to force our way into the server room.

>If the best you can say about a law is that unambiguous cases exist, that is not saying very much, and it does nothing for all the cases where clarity is unfindable.

When there are grey areas, the legal system will look at the whole situation and consider what a reasonable person would conclude. Maybe you were sending billions of packets because you misconfigured your network testing code and it was an honest mistake with no harm done, or maybe you sent billions of packets because you wanted to trigger a vulnerability in the server to discover some secret information. The legal system can take that into account. Overly specific laws that don't leave room for that kind of judgement lead to trivial ways to skirt the law.
> Unfortunately there is no magic fingerprint to distinguish between tectonic, volcanic and antropogenic carbon.

Wrong again. Fossil fuels come from plants and animals, and they all ultimately come from photosynthesis, which prefers C12 over slightly heavier C13 atoms.[1]

As a result, CO2 emitted by burning fossil fuels have a lower concentration of C13.

"Plants have a lower C13/C12 ratio than in the atmosphere. If rising atmospheric CO2 comes fossil fuels, the C13/C12 should be falling. Indeed this is what is occuring (Ghosh 2003) and the trend correlates with the trend in global emissions."[2]

As for "humanity is smaller", I'll refer to the excellent xkcd[3]. I believe no further elaboration is necessary.

Because society as a whole spent resources on you to educate you and turn you into productive member of the society.

Its your responsibility to repay that debt by reproducing.

This is one of the strange explanations I usually get.
Yeah. I do wind mine, but I leave a length of loose cable first to avoid applying tension where the cable enters the brick. I believe the fraying happens when people pull laterally on the strain relief. (It's still Apple's fault, of course.)

See: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201600
Same here. Never had a frayed end, but have had the magnetic connector get really dirty, which causes it to either get REALLY hot when charging, or just stop charging completely.

One time I just bought a replacement connector/cable, disassembled the power supply, and soldered the new cable in place. That worked for a while.

The second time I just bought a new charger. (Well: two new chargers, actually. The first, which was listed on amazon as made by apple, never worked [I believe it was counterfeit, since some very small details differ from the official charger], so I bought a new one at best buy).

I don't have to do much "smearing by implication" when the upvoted comments speak for themselves. I think there are people that do this sort of "bullying" and unproductive rabble-rousing on both sides of the debate. I personally agree with the principles of "a consistent set of rules for all, etc.," but I don't think that the road to productive debate begins with including "hate," "sucks", "fuck them", etc., as a means to evoke an emotional response.

This is one of the reason governments and police forces aren't trying to complete wipe terrorists groups and extremists off the internet. Because if their posts are publically viewable, then it's easier to watch what they're up to and stop anything dangerous occurring as a result. If they take them down, then these people simply go 'underground' and becomes it a lot more difficult to check whether they're planning anything.

Of course, there's also a downside (that a certain few people might be inspired or encouraged by extremist content they see online), but it's better for security to let such people give themselves away before anything can happen.
It's kind of a non-solution when said data is available through so many other providers, though. I don't have an ethical issue with it at all, I just don't see it being effective.
It also goes towards the roads and infrastructure the company and its employees use daily.

I don't understand why people refuse to pay their countries membership fees. They have no problem paying the fees for their gym, their sports club or their phones, but as soon as they have to pay for the services their country offers its okay to not pay?

This directly relates to us in tech. Specifically, there is a huge push to reach out to women and girls in CS. I am not opposed to females in CS at all. I will encourage males and females alike to pursue it, because I see CS as the great equalizer; the only thing that matters is what you produce.

What I can't stand are these "Women in technology" conferences and workshops to "close the (gender) gap". Why? Because if you focus on one group, then you are actively not focusing on another. Given the dichotomy defined by their stated purpose, they are actively dismissive of men (boys). That is wrong.

I don't care about the men/women ratio. People will choose whatever path they enjoy and want to work at. I do care very strongly, though, about treating people equally.

If I say this publically, then I, too, will be ostracized. That is why this article is so very important!
> In an ideal world, you wouldn't need computer security--people should just do what they're supposed to do.

It would certainly be nice if everyone in the world would just behave themselves, but then we wouldn't need computer security or laws.

> Because it puts the burden on the property owner to secure their systems, instead of on the user to not behave in anti-social ways.

Which would be a much stronger argument if not for the independent need to defend against foreign attackers.

And once you have to have computer security because there exist people on the internet in countries with no meaningful law enforcement, the existence of that security informs expectations of how authorization works.

Couldn't another possibility is that her blindness was indeed the result of physical damage to her brain and her regained vision was the result of using other neural pathways in the brain. I remember reading an article not too long ago where people clinically blind people from birth were able to recognize visual stimuli subconsciously. Similarly she may not be able to consciously see new things as much as have an intuition about what parts of her vision are still working.

The mind is really an amazing thing and this combination could bring to light discoveries about how both vision and various mental disorders affect the brain.
There seem to be a lot of inaccuracies in this article:

"APPLE CREATED THE new Swift programming language as a better way of building apps for the iPhone, and it was a welcomed thing."

Swift was, from the beginning available for both iOS and MacOS (leaving the iPad and iPod aside).

"The language that drives most iPhone apps today—Objective C—is not open source, and for the most part, it remains limited to Apple devices. "

Objective-C (in gcc) is open source, has been for a long time, and has been used in the GnuStep project for a long time.

"But Apple has said it will soon open source Swift, freely sharing the underpinnings of the language with the world at large. Once that happens, Stephens and the rest of the developer community can port the language onto other operating systems, including Linux, which dominates the modern data center."

Apple announced that it would provide a Linux port as part of the open source version.

I'm surprised to see so many errors in a Wired article.
It could also be the Apple charger's design that makes it able to handle shorting of components without posing a hazard to anything other than itself.
