Is there any way to see exactly what this system does, aside from faking a suicidal episode on my timeline and getting friends to report it?

I've heard that early versions of this system basically inserted barriers between suicidal people---who are already overwhelmed---and their support networks.

Considering Facebook's poor track record when it comes to handling vulnerable populations (nym policy, location support in Messenger, etc.), I'd strongly discourage anyone from using this reporting system without a complete understanding of what it actually does.

Heed should also be paid to the effect of having more than one of these systems being triggered at the same time. The last thing I need when I'm feeling overwhelmed is a dozen apps on my phone suddenly changing their behavior.
Everything else being equal, faster switching means lower power consumption for CMOS.
There're 3rd party trackers for ad network such as double verify, comscore, moat. But the technology on this works horribly. For example, if an ad network want to track thru a vpaid, it wraps vpaid on top of ad content and that's it. ( Say the ad is hosted by the ad network itself.) But if you want third party tracking, you first wrap your ad with one layer, then you wrap third party tracking as second layer on top of that, which makes things worse.
Many type systems allow encoding arbitrary Turing complete code, so that doesn't necessarily imply typing those programs correctly is impossible.
How do you know they are not looking for an exit strategy? They have stopped aggressively hiring and buying startups. Their new product launches and innovation has been minimal. Their market is largely commoditized.

Secondly, they have raised a ton of VC cash and those VCs are looking for an exit. So keep the company cash flow positive makes it look very attractive for larger companies and especially PE firms.
I'm having trouble seeing the irony. Have you known corporations in America to suffer consequences of significant magnitude for illegal actives of late? Especially ones that own media companies and donate heavily to political campaigns[0]? It's entirely possible the FCC has no teeth, or is muzzled by some paymaster.

[video] Tech TopX: VM High Availability in AHV
Like the other commenters, I definitely don't want any money back!

Sad to hear of VQ's demise, but open-sourcing it sounds like a great idea.
One of the key advantages of p4 is that you don't have to use iptables. Instead p4 would compile down to a binary packet processor in either machine language, something like eBPF, or directly onto a hardware coprocessor on your NIC.

Compiling to iptables would be incredibly slow and miss the advantages. Plus, p4 is more general than iptables so many p4 programs could not be expressed as iptables.
Or, rather than be bothered passing a law for every possible case, Congress can delegate rule making authority to an agency like the FCC, which develops technical expertise in the domain.
> To resolve the matter of being unallowed to plug anything non-AT&T into AT&T phone lines, you can just make a law stating that anything that can operate compatibly on the network is allowed to participate,

That's pretty much what the Open Internet Order (both the 2010 one that was, except for transparency provisions, struck down and the current one that was just upheld by the same court that struck down the earlier one) does.

> You don't have to have utility-style control,

Which, largely, the FCC isn't doing here. Now, the FCC had invoke the provisions which allow utility-style control because the courts previously struck down its attempt to institute similar "people can plug legal devices into their internet connections and access legal content over their internet connection" rules without invoking the "telecommunication service" common carrier, "utility-style" provisions of the law.

But, while the details of the current order are different from the 2010 order (for one, more of the provisions apply to mobile broadband in the same ways as fixed broadband, because that market had matured in the intervening time period such that the argument that it was too new and evolving to know if the same style of regulation would be appropriate), it mostly doesn't apply "utility style" regulation, even though it invokes authority which would allow utility-style regulation.
I thank Coursera for everything they've done to me. It's totally life changing. Without it I wouldn't be at where I am, wouldn't have chance to learn these great courses from top universities and as a result, got a dream job.

I don't mind paying a small fee (still much cheaper than going to any other school) seriously. I understand that's not the topic people are arguing about here, but anyway.
My employer does payroll and benefits through a 3rd party provider. This provider has a nexus in my state, which allows me to claim local taxes as well as get a healthcare plan that meets my state minimums as well as has providers in my area.

Technically I'm a dual employee of the 3rd party payroll company and my employer (My W-2s have the payroll provider listed).
S3 can serve over the Bittorrent protocol though.

In fact, there are several viable configurations to bridge between WebTorrent, Bittorrent, and S3. For example, you can have S3 directly serve over Bittorrent and use Amazon as a tracker; or you can have the HTTP URL to S3 serve as a BEP19 webseed, which is now supported in recent WebTorrent.

What's the problem then if there's not enough work for 2? You're close to a barter economy at that point. The blacksmith can't gouge the customers he depends on for everything else.
the only other drawback is USB 2.0 speeds only not USB 3.0 or 3.1 with the c connector.
There are corporate-owned restaurants, and there are franchises.

Stores can be on leased or owned land.

For example, something like 8 McDonald's in San Francisco have closed or are closing in the past few years, many because of lost leases, supposedly.

One rumored to be threatened location is 3rd and Townsend, a great location just one block from AT&T Park and a neighborhood institution (it was there long before the ballpark).
Not a great choice in name, considering "P4" is the command line utility/common abbreviation for Perforce SCM
It is so bizarre to me that building a business that can make a profit and stand on its own is considered newsworthy in the tech economy.
This made me laugh, you'll get used to it and start to enjoy it eventually. It seems like things are more relaxed wherever you are in the us compared to wherever you were previously.

When it comes to the "Do you need something," it's part of their job, if you're looking for something specific it's good to know that there are people available to help you. They're not asking you if you have a reason to be in the store, hah. Just tell them "I'm just looking around, thanks." And they'll tell you "If you need anything, [specific] let me know."
I understand other people's skepticism, but I have a Facebook friend from high school whose behavior has been extremely volatile. He was always an outcast, but lately he has been reaching out to random people from our grade and leaving incoherent comments. He would make up stories that clearly never happened, and sometimes would become extremely sympathetic, thanking them for "all they tried to do".

I have been watching this strange story from the sidelines, but I know other people have shown concern as well. If this research can help people like him, I think it would be well worthwhile.
The campaign is simple: natural diamonds are for winners, lab grown are for chumps.

They can probably even start charging more for them to make up for the loss of revenue.

It's the same thing as buying a brand vs generic or lesser known brand, even if the latter is the same or better.

Rich people pay enormous sums for vanity plates, this is no different.
Telling people that they "insist on brainwashing" and are "always harping" is uncivil. You need to edit that kind of thing out of your comments if you want to continue commenting here.
If it's tested, you shouldn't.
In Pharo (modern Smalltalk implementation) you can get some info from VM and JIT.

So you're saying you might not pay for low quality content. But the publishers don't think this way. They want to you pay regardless if you like the content or not. It's like going to a restaurant. You can choose never come back again if you don't like the food, but you have to pay this time.

Yeah it's really something to see. I especially love the guy wondering why all the lower cast people can't just join him at his nice restaurant in downtown Toronto rather and just spend a few more dollors for his obviously superior food.

I dont think this is true. In Germany there never has been a 'bagger-culture' :)
If you use your options and the company goes under before IPO, are you effectively shit-out-of-luck? Seems like you would get $0 for the shares but already paid taxes on them. Would you get those taxes back in a future refund if this were the case?
No, more like dogs don't care much about taste, as long as the food is somewhat edible and contains minimal nutritional value (some dogs eat shit or rotten carcass for example).
That's why my guess is that their taste buds and stomachs are different.
Try them "well done". Fresh potatoes cut in-store moments before cooking (McD's are pre-cut and frozen).

I have a 2008 Mac Pro with four hard drives. I use it for multi-track audio production. I don't have a good upgrade path. To migrate all this to one of the modern Mac Pro machines I'd have to buy an internal enclosure. Given that drives have gotten bigger, it wouldn't be a big deal to go from a 4-drive setup to an SSD system volume + 2 data drive setup. A smaller, quieter Pro that was quieter and supported 3 internal drives would be ideal for me. I've considered trying to migrate some of my work to Mac Minis, but they have the same external chassis problem. I've considered NAS but sometimes you'd just really have a hard drive online.

I also read that my 2008 box won't be upgradeable past El Capitan. I'm still running Yosemite. Honestly, for functionality and reliability, I'm not sure why I ever left Snow Leopard behind. Life-long Apple fans like me must have Stockholm Syndrome... I'm still pissed about my huge family history project in Aperture. I can open it now, but who knows.

But it's important that we rebrand everything as _lowercase_ macOS... for some reason...
Really?

They'll just pander to the rich.

Luxury brands did not end up bankrupt because cheaper and just as good or even better alternatives came to the market.
I think part of it is that you made the sincere offer of refund, and gave people control over that. Regardless of how reasonable it is for a sincere creator to keep the money on a failed project, people still appreciate being able to have the option to 'pull out' on failure.
Likely a personal attack, since people who level this charge are typically projecting shillness into the comments they dislike, not extracting it out of them.

On Windows, I recommend using HeidiSQL, which handles SSH tunnels for you using PuTTY's plink.exe.
Yes. Three actually, if you count the different elections. On the ballot is a list of names representing the party so you can vote for a particular candidate by marking the name.

Usually people pick a set of ballots for different parties to bring behind a screen where the choosen ballots are put in the envelope for the box. The non-choosen ones you can pocket to keep secret. Some people tend to leave them in the booth though.

But cruise missiles do not have nearly the same precision as air support fighters.

It's really not hard to find a communal gathering spot a little more high-brow than McDonald's

For example, I live in the suburbs of San Francisco. Not far from me there is a delightful and quaint organic bakery, and across from that is a gorgeous park. On weekends after my kids finish lacrosse practice, my wife and I take them there and enjoy some cheap ($9 each) chocolate croissants while they play on their tablets in the park.

People choosing to congregate in a McDonald's is as inconceivable as choosing to meet up in an outhouse or an abbatoir to me.
People keep using this word "monolith"-- I don't think it means what you think it means(tm).

A crappy old system can be crappy because of the way it's written or the people writing it. If, as mentioned in one of the linked articles, it takes you six weeks to get a simple controller layer up and running in Java, something else is wrong, and it isn't the stack.
I worked with PGD for a bit.

They are concerned about usual threats that any jeweler/producer would have. But their (former) CEO also said to me that De Beers already has synthetic facilities and will likely pivot over to where IIa is in a few years. They just got the jump and are taking advantage of it.

What WWDC Means for Mobile Marketers
I find this interesting. I am a bit more interested in the implementation FastORE linked to at the bottom of the page. It seems to be pretty reasonable.

I've been thinking for a while now about what could be accomplished with partial steps towards homomorphic encryption. ORE is an interesting twist on homomorphic encryption that I hadn't thought of before --- one can merely sort encrypted data. I wonder what sorts of unexpected things one might be able to do with the ability to sort encrypted data?
This is really sleek. Does anyone know of open source resources for setting up a database frontend app similar to this? The filter views have been done so nicely here, it would be cool to take that idea and apply it to other areas (drill down through employees, etc)
The Rise of Online to Office (O2O) in China
Apple's EFI firmware has an HFS driver built into it. The way today's macOS boots is the firmware reads the bootloader off the boot partition created these days on Core Storage installations, and the bootloader (more correctly OSLoader) is what enables the firmware pre-boot environment to read core storage (encrypted or not) and thus find and load the kernel and kext cache and then boot.
You need access to the Blob data to seed that. You could get that by making HTTP requests to each of the resources on the page and then to seed that (however, as soon as you navigate away from the page there are no more seeders so the data is no longer available)
It crossed my mind that you didn't specify gender. I just copied what the previous poster had used assuming that they knew from other threads. Sorry for making that assumption.

I'm curious about how the stigma actually plays out - do people you know actually say things to you about it? Would you actually experience more negative interactions if you just did what you want, or has it been internalized because you know people would disapprove?
A DCGAN as usually implemented (eg Soumith's Torch DCGAN implementation) can produce arbitrarily large images by upscaling. The quality won't be good, though, unsurprisingly, because it was only trained on 32px or less images. This also means that it's hard to evaluate DCGAN improvements because you're stuck squinting at 32px thumbnails trying to guess whether one blur looks more semantically meaningful than another blur.

One nice thing about this paper is that, as I've been suggested for a while, they up the input to 128px for the Imagenet thumbnails, and if you look at those, it immediately pops out that while the DCGAN has in fact successfully learned to construct vaguely dog-like images, the global structure has issues.

> The majority of the professional community for creating UX/UI do not have the tools to work in FOSS, so you aren't going to see many designers working for FOSS projects as result

Then put a call out for what tools you need replaced. Maybe even back GNU to hire people to do it. As a free software developer, I have no clue what you need in order to do good design work. From my perspective, inkscape works "good enough for me". But I'm not a designer.

Free software communities require some give as well as take. The fact that there isn't a free software version of $tool is because nobody has given enough of an incentive to replace it (we're too busy replacing other proprietary tools or making our own tools better).
Heisenberg simultaneously did and didn't add you as a friend.
The great trajedy of Unix -- and of of the greater trajedies of computation -- is that the composable, user-visible components that made Unix great have never been matched in later stuff, not even in Unix stuff.

We have lots of systems which make software modular and composable, but they are not for the end user. At best they end up being build-blocks for programmers who make gigantic black boxes. More often, programmers of gigantic black boxes struggle with tools and libraries that are themselves gigantic black boxes.
I'm sure the majority of the heat you receive is because your stance has absolutely no nuance to it. For instance, the majority of people who attempt suicide and live never attempt suicide again.

Similarly, suicide mostly seems to be impulsive -- if access to a certain method of attempting suicide is reduced, the corresponding decrease in suicide attempts via that method is not reflected in a corresponding rise in suicide attempts via other methods.

Lastly, suicide rarely occurs in the depths of depression. People who attempt to take their own life are much more likely to be heading into or out of a depressive episode.

While these aren't the only reasons that we should attempt to prevent suicides, I feel they provide sufficient counter-evidence to your argument. I will say that I am in favor of physician-assisted suicide, and there is definitely a contingent of people who are hell-bent on killing themselves, but for the most part most people who are suicidal will later be thankful to be alive.

If you'd like to know more, I suggest reading the article on suicide on the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy:

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/suicide/

Edit: Section 3.4 (Libertarian Views and the Right to Suicide) responds to your criticism very directly[1]

If you find that interesting (of if you still find yourself unable to sympathize with those who believe they should attempt to prevent suicides), I'd suggest taking a course on either biomedical ethics, or ethics in general. These topics have been debated for centuries at this point, and there are a number of very compelling arguments on both sides.

[1] This position is open to at least two objections. First, it does not seem to follow from having a right to life that a person has a right to death, i.e., a right to take her own life. Because others are morally prohibited from killing me, it does not follow that anyone else, including myself, is permitted to kill me. This conclusion is made stronger if the right to life is inalienable, since in order for me to kill myself, I must first renounce my inalienable right to life, which I cannot do (Feinberg 1978). It is at least possible that no one has the right to determine the circumstances of a person's death! Furthermore, as with the property-based argument, the right to self-determination is presumably circumscribed by the possibility of harm to others.

I used to be a huge Python fan until I found Scala. It can be as expressive as Python (slightly more so even), but as safe as Java (again, slightly more so).
Questions like this are appropriate when discussing voluntary euthanasia for terminal medical conditions (which I am in favor of, for the record). They are not at all relevant in cases like this; where Facebook is trying to aid detection and intervention in cases of mental illness when the suicidal person is (literally) not thinking properly.

Nowhere in this discussion is there an implication that suicide is wrong, immoral, or a crime, or that the people should be punished; I don't understand why you're even bringing that up.
