No, you and apparently a lot of other people missed the point. There was nothing about the statement you quoted that was about the internet at large. It was specifically about the model of moderation they tried out. That exact one. Not anything else.

But you don't seem to have been alone in missing that, so arguably the writing should have been more clear. (No sarcasm. I am seriously saying the writing must be deficient.)
Re: gallons of gas. There's the old puzzle: your spouse gets 100MPG in that super-hybrid-mobile. The salesperson wants to upgrade you for $1000 to the super-duper-hybrid-mobile at 200MPG! Double the mileage!

You suggest instead that you get the old truck serviced and replace the plugs, distributor and tailpipe. Estimated cost $1000, and should get you from 10MPG to 11MPG. Which is the better deal? Assuming you both drive about 100 miles per week.
That poll asked respondents if "Apple should unlock the iPhone", failing to mention that doing so requires that Apple write new software it does not currently possess. Follow-up questions assessing respondents' knowledge of the factual steps required to comply would have brought a lot more clarity IMO.
Exactly! It is the inevitable truth you are being constantly presented with. You are forced to accept it.
I've been using Redux, and it is pretty much required if you have multiple components who need to update when a single state changes.... but pretty unhappy as the amount of scafolding required. It's not nearly as "isolated concerns" as it should be.
Pyschosis is not an accident, and it is not caused by kundalini yoga (although in this case indirectly).

It is my belief that psychosis is the product of spiritual crisis. Humans are, fundamentally, mythological creatures - we have deeply-held beliefs and myths that guide our basic thinking, and we hold onto these firmly. When something challenges these fundamentals (usually some horrible trauma), we slip into spiritual crisis, our root becomes undone, and the mind attempts to reorganize.

During this period, the mythological root comes to the surface, is exposed, and explored and acted out through psychosis. This seems dangerous and alarming if we treat it as hallucination or nonsense, but is actually the mind seeking a healthier organization. A lot of the features of the psyche can be seen in the patterns of psychosis (the ego showing up as seeing yourself as Jesus/Metatron, etc.), which are quite regular if you read different people's experiences.

I don't know Kenneth, but I'll speculate on what happened here. Kenneth took a yoga class, met an amazing woman who took him on a magical journey of yoga, drugs and great sex. Poor robot Kenneth, who had been so sure he was a hard-edged science man, could not deal with this. My god, was there really something to the world of "woo-woo spirituality" that he had so derided? Could it really be a source of happiness and fulfillment?

This upended his belief system. Psychosis proceeded - the mind moved towards this new possibility, then away from it back to the familiar. No; Kenneth likes programming, and hates yoga, all is well.

Perhaps it had actually resolved by the time Kenneth started taking drugs; perhaps he has not resolved anything (I think neuroleptics prolong and interrupt this process, they certainly don't cure you).

This is an unconventional understanding of psychosis, but I believe this to be a better and more likely avenue for resolving crises than the "just shut up and take your pills" approach.
Yea, that's true. The nytimes source could be a gov't employee, which could want to represent Apple in a less favorable light.

If my toaster doesn't work, I want the error message to be 'filament 3 is reporting a low resistance'.

Limited by time, I want to know how everything works. In this particular case, I can decide whether to buy a new toaster or whether to try and fix it.

If I'm Donald Trump I'll pay someone else to sort it. (Maybe I'm not even using the toaster to begin with). If I have masses of free time, I've been given the information to sort it out or at least to contact someone who can sort it out.

Will that get me the most sales for my product under capitalism? Possibly not. I do think it's the morally correct thing to do, though.

I don't think users should be molly-coddled.

I just don't really... understand it. Knowledge is a _good thing_. The only reason I wouldn't want to learn something is if I'm limited by time. And I don't really particularly want to surround myself with people who aren't interested in knowledge either.

So really it seems to come down to 'this will help you sell better'. Not interested, sorry.

Maybe not a complete fallacy. Some likely reasons: men hire more men. Women are hired but pushed out by stress. Women don't get promoted (or tenure or whatever) so leave. Women have heard its a terrible place for women and don't apply.

All of these things should be fixed, if applicable. Because they are patently unfair to half the talented pool of candidates. Any school that pretends to understand mathematics would understand that puts the school at a disadvantage.
> Who would've guessed in 2008? (a few people did, but very few)

Well, lots of people noticed that the hope-change rhetoric was almost entirely devoid of actual policy commitments. He also opposed same-sex marriage, sneered at atheists, etc. Anyone who expected a left-wing presidency was deluding themselves.

But sure, he has also reversed course in a number of ways that probably surprised even the cynics. He talked a lot about transparency and shutting out lobbyists, then wound up doing the opposite.
I'd love to see an "Amazon Only" mode that was a switch on the main page to only show the store for sold by or fulfilled by Amazon. I'm sure this can be done somehow and would make the experience much better. The crap 1000 review emails would be nice to disappear as well.
That's an important difference. Christians believe good is from God and evil is from Satan. (Forgive me if I'm mistaken, I know that's a gross oversimplification.) Muslims believe good and evil are both creations of God. So most things have both good and evil in them, including alcohol:

They ask you about wine and gambling. Say, "In them is great sin and [yet, some] benefit for people. But their sin is greater than their benefit."

-- 2:219 http://quran.com/2/219

Keep in mind that the Quran was revealed piece by piece over two decades. The later parts add to the earlier parts. That can be a source of ambiguity to Western readers (not to mention that the chapters are not in chronological order), which is why it's important to understand it as a whole rather than its individual verses or chapters.
I think school is important, but I also think money is important.

To me the ideal situation is to work 20-40 hours for pay (not equity) while going to school part-full time. So could be full time work and part time school, or full time school and part time work. (Full time work and full time school can be rough).

But again, you are young and need actual money. Equity is not going to get you rich. Your company is not the next facebook. Do a startup some day sure, but why do it right now?

My main scientific interest is in how much of this kind of mental problem is genetic, and how much is not. In particular, I have felt for quite some time now that those who are raised very religiously are much more likely to have mental issues and have problems thinking fully rationally/logically.

I am a combat vet with mild ptsd, but I was very religious before the war. I am now not just an athiest, but I am antithiest, and during what I call my "descartes reset" I had to relearn many things I thought I "knew". I eventually realized that while in general I was fairly smart, there were entire areas of life that being raised religious effectively neutered any logical thinking. As a result, I feel like I am intellectualy a teenager, because so much of my early years were wasted with this religious indoctrination, and to me the key is that in many/most cases, forcing children into religion is very mich indoctrination. I recognize some of the techniques the military uses in theirs!

Of course the genetic angle is an important one that I hope cheaper and more broadly available sequencing can help with, because some people arenpredisposed to these kinds of mental breaks and can be told they are at higher risk if they do drugs, dont sleep, etc.

That being said, living in the bible belt, the connection between religion and mental health interests me just as much.
Is there any information about an API for this? I know that they abandoned their old Voice to Text API, which is sad, because there aren't that many alternatives out there. I'm using Watson right now, but it's really bad, and the language range is very narrow.
I'm also open to any suggestions for Voice to Text online APIs or local server side solutions.
I think the source of my infos for that particular affirmation is Alan Watts and a post from a Japanese buddhist monk. I really don't know about Tibetan monks, and A.W. is entertaining but far from trustworthy. So you should check this yourself if you want the truth. Maybe it really does apply only to western mystery traditions and some Japanese buddhists, and some pople over-generalized this, I don't know for sure.
Similar idea (coded TCP) is patented:

They are selling licenses to Cisco: http://www.codeontechnologies.com/partners/

The idea is simple: XOR random combinations of packets and use gaussian elimination to restore them. Google uses simplest version of it, where they XOR together groups of N packets and send them as N+1 packets, so they can recover one packet if it is lost.
The weakness in the argument is that privacy or secrecy will minimize one's exposure to unjust laws. I don't think that's the case. It only makes it harder for an unjust system to effect its goals in other words, it introduces delay not necessarily avoidance altogether.

For example, if an unjust government didn't have access to or there didn't exist data at oblique or proximate collection points, they'd go about and find alternative methods. They would set up systems of popular reporting and surveillance as they did in Vietnam where it was beneficial and of self interest to report abnormal behavior or behavior contrary to that sanctioned by the government.

So, yes, privacy and secrecy can delay "the bad things" but they will not prevent it. Moreover, with less than perfect information, a bad government or actor will simply widen the net and accept more false positives. Privacy may defeat the mildly bad but not those intent on real bad.
Author here. I wrote FromScratch to accommodate how I want note taking to work: it's always an alt-tab away, it takes care of all the tedious bits (saving, window positioning) and allows me to very quickly take notes or update my TODO and get on with things.

It's open source and cross-platform, built using Electron and React.

The main focus is to keep the note taking experience as simple as possible. Future expansions I want to add are automatic versioning (you can get that now by symlinking the ~/fromscratch/contents.txt file to something like dropbox) and support for multiple note-taking contexts.

Please let me know what you think!

It is an interesting post and certainly a concern around automated law enforcement in the future. That is certainly something folks need to keep in mind.

Wait, you're using the loop index as the key? This is React's default behaviour, and it's what it warns you about. Assuming you're looping over some kind of list of models, use the model's ID instead.

Basically, no matter where in the array a value is, it should always have the same key.

The lack of a switch like this is especially annoying for people who live in "other countries". Like Sweden, in my case.

Amazon gladly ships here (from UK, France, Germany, Spain, US, etc) - with quite decent product and shipment prices.

However, all the search results are polluted by these non-Amazon sellers' results, who 90% of the time don't even have an international shipment process.

In the end, this just makes me avoid Amazon and go somewhere else.
As the article says, the first rounds of interviewing (seeing if you have the technical skills to consult) can be done without seeing you. That sort of thing routinely involves human judgment, but does not need it. Your personability, which requires human judgment, can be measured afterwards.

It seems to me that the same argument could be made against blind orchestra auditions. You could potentially play your instrument amazingly well, but also be unpresentable on stage. Maybe you refuse to wear clothes that fit. Maybe you pick your nose during rests. Maybe you shake your leg subconsciously. If those are real problems, they can be found after hearing a good audition, and they won't allow unconscious bias to interpret the human judgment of whether the audition is in fact good.

I don't think the battle here is about privacy, encryption, or any of that stuff.

It's really about trust in government.

It's about the specific meaning of the word 'trust' - the idea that 'trust' and 'distrust' are not equivalent to 'good' or 'bad'.

I can distrust my government, without thinking that they are bad.

When speaking to friends and family about this, that feels like the barrier. They believe that current western governments are generally 'good', and that historical ones were 'bad', accidents of some sort, that can't or won't happen again.

That troubles me, more so than any specific issue of the day.
We're all suffering from grandiose delusion all the time. Each one of us believes we are the most important thing in the universe - and we ARE, in our own solipsism. But this belief (the ego) is buried deep within us, and the constituent (spiritual, emotional) elements of our universe are built around it. Psychosis merely brings it to the front. Of COURSE you are Jesus, the most important thing in the universe. If not you, who is?

The first thing I do after firing up a new copy of firefox is install NoScript, uBlock Origin, and Ghostery. I set all three to block everything and then set a) NoScript to temporarily allow top-level sites by default b) Ghostery to allow disqus (because lots of the sites I read use disqus). I rarely allow anything to bypass uBlock, and give sites three chances unblocking script sources in NoScript (mostly ajax.googleapis.com). If unblocking three sources in NoScript still doesn't get me the content I want, I generally just close that tab and don't go back.
The fact is that the telecom industry has return on capital among the lowest of any industry: http://www.mckinsey.com/business-functions/strategy-and-corp... (Exhibit 2). Software and related services, in contrast, has among the highest returns.

So if Google is looking to spend a billion dollars, they can make several times as high a return putting that into their software and services operations than into building fiber. But ultimately, Internet companies are reliant on the physical infrastructure to provide their service. That puts them in an odd situation: they need someone to build those pipes, but they'd rather not do it themselves because that's not an efficient use of their capital.

So has it occurred to you that nobody wants to step in and compete, not because of the regulatory hurdles,[1] but because no investor wants to pour billions of dollars into an industry that's about as good at making money as airlines?

[1] After all, investors pour tons of money into highly regulated industries like pharmaceuticals, because the return on investment justifies it.

Thank you for linking Russ Tice, I have watched most of his interviews and people should be more aware of what he says.

Could very well be true. I'm mostly going off what I was told by relatives of an ex-girlfriend, who were fairly high up in ATT engineering and loved to brag about how much captial expenditure and investment into infrastructure ATT was making.

I suspect that the networks are already woefully underprovisioned for the level of traffic they are already selling. I'm supposed to have 25/5 cable internet, but I've never been able to get more than about 20% of that in practice.
In fact, with v0.14's stateless function components the "render" function alone can be used as a component (except props are passed as an argument rather than "this.props")
And there are technical ways to find the asshole. Send them some bad code for review and see how they review it; ask them to work with the author to get it merged. (Enough code review happens in open-source projects over email/GitHub, over text, with pseudonyms, that having it be anonymous is entirely realistic.)

Alternatively, keep an eye out for asshole behavior -- to any employee, not just those on the same team -- during the first few weeks, and be willing to fire.
Reddit's not the same, though --- it's centralised, for a start.

A really interesting (and probably really hard) project would be a proper decentralised Usenet replacement, with proper identity and reputation control. It might actually be something that blockchains could be good at, if you could avoid the requirement to replicate the entire database on every machine.

It might be feasible to have a single blockchain for identity and reputation, and then have each 'newsgroup' have its own, referring to it; that way I should be able to reduce the disk and bandwidth footprint to something reasonable.

Coming up with an appropriate costing system so that spammers were priced out without also requiring real money to actually use the thing would be the trickiest part, I think.

How about "the experiment failed, your idea was a good hypothesis, better luck next time"? Instead of "you suck at SQL", how about "you should probably read up on the difference between GIN and GIST indexes in Postgres and maybe try out window functions - they make this problem a lot easier to solve". It seems more productive to give people ways they can improve their skills rather than tearing them to shreds just for entertainment.

You can have an environment that is driven by good engineering (testing assumptions, measuring etc.) without people being outright insulting to one another. All it requires is, oh, minimal human empathy and a willingness to spend 10-15 minutes every so often explaining unfamiliar concepts to fellow team members who haven't fully grasped it.
There is always going to be a fringe where bad papers get published and bad conference admissions accepted. Regularly the CS colloquem gets speakers who do not know what they are talking about and should not be there.

The CS people are really polite, the only people who will ask them hard questions are the refugees from the physics department. Even though we are not speaking terms anymore sometimes I team up with the meanest physicist in the world to methodically disassemble such a speaker like two crabs on a starfish.

Bipolar disorder and schizophrenia (the main causes of psychosis) are genetic, not caused by "spiritual crisis". The spiritual stuff is a symptom of psychosis, not a cause. "Heritability for schizophrenia was 64% and for bipolar disorder 59%."
