I'm sympathetic to this (well, if I trusted access to continue uninterrupted and offline), but for me we're nowhere near there yet.

Anyone with sufficiently unusual music tastes can't possibly get their content via 'access'. And that's not a high bar - even tame interests like EDM, jam, or jazz are completely unsolved via access in my experience.
It's probably a case of adding insult to injury. Looking at AirBnB specifically, their most vocal opponents seem to be cities who already have too few apartments left to rent. When a sizable portion of the remaining few apartments is then put on AirBnB rather then rented, rent prices go even higher than they already were.

At least, this is what happened in Berlin (and AFAIR also some other large German cities), which is why Berlin is looking into banning AirBnB (by requiring special permits for vacation homes). Source e.g. http://www.spiegel.de/reise/aktuell/bussgelder-ab-mai-berlin...

So, it may not be AirBnB's fault primarily. They're just making bad situations even worse.

Unless you are tracking events, outlinks, time spent on page or something similar, nothing as far as data goes. But obviously server logs lack statistics and aggregation. PIWIK actually supports using the server logs as its data source instead of the javascript tag.
IDA's licensing is also onerous.
You couldn't be more wrong. If you actually cared and didn't choose your political view based on what'll look the best in a hashtag under your selfie, you'd quickly find out that ALL liberal politics are sponsored by multinational global corporations. Modern day conservatives are all about small business, small government and financial freedom.

You could also say "they probably knew about it" and you would be just as correct. But either way, it's their money, so they should have known about it.

"Whether your statement is based on disingenuous confusion or simple ignorance doesn't matter at this point because you've made your own post largely irrelevant and quite frankly it ticked me off a little bit"

Your personal attacks on me are actually proving my point. In your original post, you said:

"In the specific case of conservative politics, why does it matter that it's so skewed? I have absolutely no issue with, in this specific case, conservative politics not receiving much attention."

That's a form of censorship and manipulation, especially because Facebook is not seen as an editorialized news source, but rather as a representation of one's community. You seem to think it isn't censorship though:

"I am not sure how you are confusing me and facebook's curation system not giving attention to certain sources and positions based on their credibility and integrity with actively preventing people from speaking."

This had nothing to do with credibility or integrity. It was a group of people with a very specific political ideology that were subjectively picking news and having it appear in an organic feed, when it was really editorialized.

I'm not confusing you with Facebook's curation system. You're entitled to your opinion. I'm telling you why your opinion shouldn't be applied at scale (in this case, to a system that appears organic) and also why you should care about this not just for this one incident, but for the implications that this has on a larger scale.

So you don't care about conservative views getting silenced here. After all, conservatives are wrong, right? But what if the major media outlet changes it's mind and starts to think liberals are wrong, and thus silences liberal content? How will you feel then? This isn't about political ideologies. It's about the implications of an unprecedentedly large and trusted media outlet taking sides and deliberately influencing it's audience. Liberal or conservative, that's dangerous.
Well, almost no one.

> That's a quite unwise ad hominem argument.

I would argue that accusations of immorality is also ad hominem.

Informal relationships between friends like the one you describe have direct feedback mechanisms if you take actions that you believe to be unfair towards each other. Because we both respect each other, we're very unlikely to do something that would be considered untowards to each other because we both value and wish to continue the relationship. We can choose to or not to choose to bring law into this situation, but intent is more important in this relationship because it is a close relationship.

In the tax law situation, it's more of a social contract. Social contracts are between individuals who have no direct relationship with each other. The way we describe these social contracts is via codified law. It's very difficult to interpret intent from law, and then turn that intent into action or inaction. And those who are part of the social contract should not have to. My primary issue with assertions of immorality is that it's unquantified and completely subjective. Your tax haven is somebody else's foreign investment. You're imposing your own subjective view of intent on it.

If you want to change the social contract, then please do so with trying to change the laws. It requires you to start from first principles and makes you examine what your actual intentions are (Increase tax revenue? Reduce income inequality? Discourage foreign investment in favor of domestic investment?) and also what the possible negative externalities are (capital flight? reduced GDP? etc.). But by making assertions of immorality or "evil"ness on the part of perceived bad actors, you're not offering any solutions, and instead starting the conversation from a place where no progress can be made.
Exactly this, I have seen "sodium" LED lights which replace HPS lights with a similar spectrum. Apparently this was to avoid replacing all of the lights at once, and by swapping them out as they burn out the city gets the full lifetime value of the bulbs. (yes the energy cost dwarfs that but not all cities want to front the upfront cost)

Well, we already have text messaging - it comes with the phone, so we don't need to install another app to do pretty much the same thing.

If WhatsApp was a default install, people would probably use it without thinking or caring about it, if it was named in a way that sounded anything remotely like it's purpose.

I would definitely argue that "make sure you have these advanced settings configured or you're screwed" is a sign of hostile software. I'm totally unwilling to use iTunes or Apple Music for my collection.

That said, if you're particular about your music collection, it's basically always going to take some curation. Giving up because Apple didn't make that easy isn't entirely Apple's fault.

That's not really how logic works. Lame straw man.
As a cave diver (norwegian as well) i can tell you that a good light with a tight spot IS a incredible good way to communicate under water where there is no natural light at all. Lack of seeing your teams light is the first thing you notice. The only thing that could be better than a light is voice communication, but to do that in any meaning full way you will need to have a full face mask (like commercial divers) and that bring with them a lot of other problems. (like gas sharing etc). And Patrik did in-fact notice that Jari had a problem, and stayed 20minutes trying to help him before Jari died. The problem was the "surprise restriction" after point of no return.

So the problem wasn't really a communication problem, but they didn't follow good cave diving practice and thats most likely whats killed them. Normal cave dives starts and ends in the same opening, so you will never be at a point where you cant exit the same entrance as you started. When you do a more complex dive like a traverse as the Finnish did you always make sure you have dived ALL of the cave you want to traverse before! Normally you will do a setup dive from the other side of the system, and place a "cookie" (non directional marker) on the line where you turn. If you reach the cookie from the other side you can, if you up for it, continue to the other entrance. By doing so you ensure that everybody know of hazards like small and tight restrictions and that they dont catch you by surprise when you have passed the point of no return. (when you dont have gas/scrubber time to exit the entrance you started from)
I don't understand why you say access beats ownership.

Do you think this only about music? Or books? Or movies?

If so, do you apply it to other things in your life? Do you own a car, or do you only rent? How about your home? Is it better to rent, or buy a place to live? Clothes? Why buy a pair of jeans, when you could pay a monthly fee to have new jeans delivered to your house and return the (month) old ones?

For me, IMO, I would rather own my music, books and house, but rent my car and clothes.

Because access is something that can be cut off or denied.

And at the end of the day, as long as I can walk naked to my home listening to music and reading, I will always be happy.
Just notes on this for the curious:

1. Sandstorm doesn't support ARM currently because Sandstorm apps run native Linux binaries, and every app would have to be compiled for each architecture.

2. I honestly think you'd be running pretty crippled trying to do Sandstorm on a RasPi. It's a bit smaller scale than Sandstorm seems targeted for. Each open Sandstorm grain commonly uses 100 MB of RAM or more (on top of the RAM used by Linux and the Sandstorm server itself, of course), so with just a couple of Sandstorm grains running simultaneously, you can max out a RasPi pretty quickly.
Safety is definitely the number 1 concern. I'm not sure how long trials will need to run before they can confirm there is no increased cancer risk.

Also a concern. If it's gone in a year, what does it look like in 6 months? Are you going to look like you have a nasty blob-bruise for 6 months as the definition fades and the ink migrates?

In partnership with IBM we researched PostgreSQL scalability on modern Power8 servers.

That statement and the linked Russian blog white paper[1] makes it seem like a Power8 specific and Power8 is a "a massively multithreaded chip"[2]. I wonder how far off it would be to x86-64?

There are many, many self-hosting analytics tools, from your own big data pipes to tools like the aforementioned piwik, as well as Open Web Analytics. I like Snowplow (http://snowplowanalytics.com/), but it's currently hard-coded to AWS.

Hosting your own analytics data can be great, but there are lots of ways to get better accuracy and control over your data without having to host everything. Still, if you can, it's great.
> Jonathan Haidt has shown in his work on ideological bias is that liberals are unable to accurately understand the conservative worldview

Actually (without getting into methodological issues and whether he has actually shown anything), the conclusion would be more accurately stated as that liberal are unable to accurately predict the manner in which conservatives would prefer to express their worldview, whereas the reverse is not true.

I think that, to the extent this is accurate at all (and this type of research on broadly characterizing liberals and conservatives, from either side, is fraught with opportunities -- often realized -- to take broad fuzzy terms and operationalize them in ways which reinforces researchers' own ideological biases), what it really reflects is the fact that liberals in-group language is the same as the common language of the broader society and, particularly, entertainment media (to which, then, moderates and conservatives are still heavily exposed), whereas conservatives in-group language is something to which liberals are far less exposed (mainly propagated through conservative churches and similar institutions).

(This is also feeds -- though its not the sole source of -- the liberal view of conservative dishonesty, in that the main context in which liberals encounter conservative in-group language is in conservative advocacy of public policy positions, where the language used to articulate conservative values is used in a way which clashes with liberals expected use of language, and seems dishonest when it comes to values.)
No, this is not repeatable to nail the Superfecta of the Kentucky Derby (or pick a perfect March Madness bracket for that matter). The point is that this platform seems to outperform the experts. And every once in a while, they might nail it perfectly.

I guess it depends on your own personal background, but PostgreSQL is far from 'obscure' and much more feature complete than MySQL nowadays.
It's because Python tends to be the most common programming language for startups due to being easy to hire for, having good library support for a wide range of use cases, being good for web development, etc. And MySQL is focused on catering to enterprise customers who don't use Python. The last time I heard, they had something like one person working part time on Python support, so the drivers weren't nearly as reliable as the Postgres tooling.

In Tesla's case, the laws were created specifically to block them. They didn't exist when Tesla started. The previous laws on the books were more along the lines of "if you have dealers, you can't sell direct" rather than a general "you must sell through dealers"
It's also worth pointing out that they were challenged to make this pic by a reporter in advance of the Derby. They weren't just throwing out a random guess, they met the gauntlet that had been thrown down once already. This is a remarkable achievement in the face of skepticism.

If you read the CEO's statement in the original article, he wasn't claiming omniscience, but that horse-racing was certainly difficult to predict.

I'm torn. On one hand, this invention will keep a lot of people from making the very common mistake of getting ink they don't like and can't remove.

On the other hand, a beautiful part of this art form is that it is basically permanent. To my mind, a tattoo loses a lot of its value of it's only temporary.

Oh please. When I see "trending stories", that implies that the stories are popular, not that they've been manually selected or filtered by some unelected group with an obvious bias and agenda.

As for porn, if the site clearly states that that's something they censor, that's fine. Lots of sites do that. But yes, the whole name "trending stories" absolutely does imply an "organic popular list". If you "know" that this isn't really what it is, that's great for your insight, but it's still lying on the part of Facebook.
I haven't been keeping up specifically with lawnmowing, but at least for general housekeeping $20/hour isn't a crazy rate in some areas. Easy to see how a motivated kid could earn $100-$200/day in the summer mowing lawns.
Would you say it's easier to spec out hardware than software? I don't work with hardware, but from a layman's perspective it seems like you can (and have to be) utterly exacting when it comes to product matching designs, with said designs themselves being very exacting, i.e. using physics equations.

With complex software, it's pretty dang hard to layout an entire program in specifications without going down the provably correct approach, which likely will run into limitations when the real world is involved. Waterfall dev for operating systems of the past come to mind.... Probably the best you can do is be very stringent with your coding standards, something space agencies are the masters of.
One type of clue that's fallen out of favour, according to a book I read about it a while back, are those which require knowledge of, for example, the classics. It used to be that you needed a pretty good private education, but as English speaking has become more international, and as fewer and fewer English speakers (as a percentage) have that sort of education, those clues are less likely to be useful.

Different setters take different approaches; it's why the papers almost almost name the setters, and why it's a big deal when one retires as they're sort of unique.
Piwik has the problem that it writes directly to MySQL as the activity happens. If your database is down, you lose data. If you have a spike of traffic above what your DB can handle in writes, you lose data.

Snowplow doesn't have this problem.
There is absolutely no way that they can take enough statistics to prove that there's no increased cancer risk. i don't think we even know whether regular tattoos increase cancer risks.
Yes, or increase the amount you get from others.

If you don't need them, and they aren't providing anything for you, they have less influence on you.

The way you be less dependent on people is ... to be less dependent on them. Not by being more dependent and trying to set up magic firewalls or whatever.
> I would argue that accusations of immorality is also ad hominem.

Its only ad hominem if the argument is made that someone's argument on one point should be disregarded because of their allegedly immoral action. Otherwise, its not ad hominem. (Ad hominem isn't saying someone is a bad person, its saying that their argument should be rejected because they are a bad person.)

At a guess I'd say that the probability of a fault in a piece of software does approximately match the cost of it failing. A phone game is very likely to have more bugs than a banking system. My point is that both applications actually work really well. In my experience premium phones games crash maybe once in every thousand runs. Bank money transfer software crashes perhaps once in every few billion runs (that's a total guess but we'd hear about it if it was higher and there are a lot of bank transfers every day). I think that's quite good.
I have a hard time believing 'millenials' will pay $7 a month for financial news. Netflix costs $8. Hulu costs $8. Showtime costs $9. I don't think Cheddar has the weight to charge $7 a month for niche programming.
