The problem with being in the EEA is that you get all the negatives of being in the EU (free movement of people and paying into EU funds), but have no votes on how the money is spent.
I love Signal and they're responsive to requests or bug reports in a way that Google or Whatsapp can never be, and it seems, don't want to. I don't care if it's missing a few features. Most of the features added to messaging are pointless fluff anyway. So what they're 3 people, when I reported an unusual bug it was fixed in a couple of days. Try that with Google.

What does impact me is the userbase. I've tried, and generally failed, to get lots of friends using Signal. I get to use it with just the small subset that are privacy aware and techie.

Given they use the same protocol, it's a shame we can't message whatsapp or allo users. Yes it compromises my privacy compared to staying native, but less than having to install their whole app.

Those are core libertarian values, too. Where the left differs from libertarians, though, is the left does not value property rights and tends to believe in centralized economic planning, price fixing, etc.

Why are you saying that Jordanian culture is primitive? It's rather insulting.
TL;DR: A bunch of aggressive male baboons died in an accident many generations ago and the group was better for it due to the culture and genes that passed on as a result.

A good argument for Eugenics if ever there was one -- I tend to be against it in principal, but sometimes I look at the war and devastation in this world caused primarily by aggressive greedy men (and occasionally women), but I like to think there are better solutions, especially because it opens the door to people being sterilized for stupid reasons like scoring low on an IQ test or getting on the wrong side of some politician [1] (interestingly, Eugenics is still 100% legal in the United States [1])

This is my point. Polls generated by lobbyists are constructed to influence people. If you have a poll and it doesn't say what you want, you bury it. Otherwise you use creative sampling techniques to generate the result you want.

This is fine because we can just ignore them just like we ignore studies by Apple showing the iOS is 10x better than Android. It's marketing. The problem is that lobbyists realise that they can simply write articles and hand them to journalists who will print them almost untouched. Sometimes newspapers will bypass the journalist outright and print this kind of propaganda directly if it aligns with their goals.

With this issue you can see this directly. Simply find the source of every graph on this topic printed in a newspaper and it will lead back to the web site I linked to without fail.

The article uses an infrastructure example. That's a much more predictable type of technical debt.

Even then, orgs are terrible at managing risk and costs.

In my first job, I was a DBA managing a big reservation system somehow (the how is a funny story too). They had an issue where someone fubared the initial database config, leaving us with a time bomb. Critical tables were beyond the number of tablespace extents supported, and there was a 100% probability that the database would essentially freeze up to avoid data loss.

We came up with a plan that would eliminate the risk, but would require an extended maintenance window, which translates into a 4-hour SLA hit. Cost:$20k or less. The SVP said no, there's no
budget for an SLA hit, wait for Christmas holiday downtime (6 months away).

Two weeks later, on the busiest business day of the year, database is frozen at 9AM. It took us 48 hours to restore as we needed to restore everything and fix some corruption. Each hour of downtime cost $7,000/hr in wasted labor in the business, and the SLA penalty was harsh.

It's an egregious example, but I've seen lots of similarly dumb decision making in my career.
Did we read the same article?

Consider their headline number - Missouri. Testing cost $336k and found 48 drug users. Assuming welfare costs $10k/person, it saved $480k making it a net positive. All the other states they discuss had significantly higher returns (5-10x).

This all assumes not a single drug user was deterred from applying and also that not a single welfare recipient was deterred from using drugs.

Further, none of these measure the question of whether poor people do more or less drugs. Most of these programs only drug test some people and have expensive human-administered programs to decide who to test: "complete a written questionnaire about drug use" “suspicion-based drug testing for each applicant”, “reasonable suspicion exists” that they might be illegally using “a controlled substance or controlled substance analog.”

The fact that these programs found very few drug users is merely due to the fact that welfare recipients aren't dumb enough to put "yes I do drugs" on a written test.

This article is pulling the social sciences shuffle - find a socially undesirable conclusion, write an abstract hinting that it's false, and bury the truth in the data tables.
Same here, for quite a long time there were a number of projects claiming to do video editing. (Anyone remember Jahshaka?) Blender was literally the only thing out there that delivered for years. This is one of the first projects I've seen that looked like it also delivered.

Yes that's wrong, but the paper that corrected this misconception wasn't published until January of 2016. I think you should give them at least a year to update before unleashing the disapproving scowl.
In order for this to take effect, you need:
1. To "sanitize" SQL injection by quoting parameters and building SQL strings manually
2. Your quoting function needs to be in a language that iterates over multibyte chars properly (i.e., you're not running naively on binary strings)
3. The output multibyte charset must be one of the afflicted charsets (mostly CJK charsets)
4. Your DBMS must be incapable of properly handling the relevant charset, and is instead checking it in a different charset.

Point #4 makes it really hard to envision this ever being a problem, since if you're using a CJK charset on your platform already, you're quite likely to notice very quickly that something is horribly, horribly wrong.

That's one part of the problem, and yes, it's a large part.

The other, though is that the coding, presentation, and awareness of what's offered is utterly shite.

Amazon quite literally has no fucking clue what the hell it's selling. And it's among the better sites. Craigslist is even more abysmal -- I was searching for a specific type of chair some time back and found myself presented with anything from that (rarely) to hammocks to porches.

Whether it's quality control over item descriptions, or AI to sort out what things are, or collaborative filtering, or nominated expert filtering, or whatever, better data over what's actually represented by systems is also required.

For articles and textual content, author, authority, and various other metadata need stronger control. I see a Web in which such information being accurately presented as crucial to search results placement helping, possibly.
I really like these kinds of articles. I would have never noticed most of these details.

Enjoyed the carefully thought out icon design:

Cryogenic vault -- the blue triangle pointing down to a stick figure. Photonic system -- has the letter F shaped by what looks like fiber optic channels. Radiation hazard is great too -- a stick figure dead on the ground, with the sickly bright orange color filling the top of the square.

Then not all details could be consistent of course. And the whole self-destuct French vs English instruction bit was funny.

Then the completely off the wall stuff-- 70s psychadelics creeped into the keyboard design, that was fascinating. What else would you put on a self-destruct computer console than "SHAKTI EXCESS", "PADME" and reference to a phychadelic trip?

Every time I see a comment like this, I'm amazed at the commenters inability to not take everything to the extreme. YOU CAN EAT SOYLENT AND STILL EAT FOOD. If you don't have much time on your hands, and you want a quick meal, it works really well and is better than, say, McDonalds.

1) Eating isn't pleasure for me 2 to 3 times a day. I eat lunch because I'm hungry. I'll go out and eat a nice meal once or twice a week. You can drink Soylent and still eat food. Everyone is different.

2) You can drink Soylent and still eat food. And I only eat socially a couple times a week anyways.

3) Cooking takes time to prepare, time to fetch ingredients, and time to cleanup. This is a non-negligible amount of time. I'd rather spend 10 minutes total on a meal than 30+ mins.

4) Do you know if everything that goes into every processed food you eat? Do you have verification?

5) You can eat Soylent and still eat food.

6) This clearly isn't about cost.

7) Soylent is evolutionary in the sense that it's one of the first food replacement marketed to consumers that doesn't have a load of sugar in it.

8) Doesn't every company have dollar signs in their eyes? How is that a fault? They're providing a product that people want at a price point people are willing to pay. There isn't much to complain about there.
> That argument misinterprets public records laws and is betrayed by its own logical conclusion: All it would take for the US government to prevent the disclosure of any information would be to place a high price tag on it. That clearly contradicts the intent of FOIA, which entitles the public to access all kinds of government records.

This is the only argument needed to persuade me that this is worth litigating and fighting for. The government is the only entity which can really aggregate this data. It is funded by tax payers. If it is not a matter of national security; which it isn't as it is sold openly, it should be free to the tax payer which foots the bill for its collection. It would be harrowing if FOIA requests cost 4-6 figures...
~3.5% of the US population is Illigal immigrants. If they want to come here they have. In fact over the last five years more people have moved from US to Mexico than Mexico to the US.

It's not really an issue because our 11 million illegal immigrants don't just desired to move to Montana they do what other people do and arrive in waves. Only issue US has with internal migration has to do with Job openings which are fairly easily to predict if hard to deal with. EX: Boom towns from fracking.

> That would be horrific, doing "work for works sake" knowing that the only reason you are doing it instead of a machine is because someone decided you needed the nobleness of having a 'job'.

We automate many things to squeeze the absolute last penny out of it. That can have deleterious effects, too.

For example, many fruits and vegetables have been bred to be harvested by machine. These foods have been shown to have fewer nutrients and taste differently from those which much be harvested by hand.

Employing some people to harvest some of the non-automatable crops would be a good thing.
> someone fubared the initial database config

Utter incompetence. Developers seem to have this almost-magical ability to blame management for their fuck-ups. Guess I can't blame them too much, there's practically no decent software engineering training anymore. All we get is irrelevant science-y shit.

> We came up with a plan that would eliminate the risk,

You don't call it a risk if there's a 100% chance. Managers are not going to understand scenarios you put in front of them, you have to guide the conversation. You say, "this is going to happen if we don't fix this right effing now." Then you threaten to quit if they don't take you seriously. But again, professional pride is something nobody teaches developers.
My solution is just to let people post stuff that is legal (with existing statues).

"Hate speech", "cyberbullying" are both ill defined terms that can apply to both every type of speech and no type of speech.

It's interesting how quickly you leap to suicide, explosives, and pedophilia as your examples. Those are all absolute worst case scenarios, and all these things are currently illegal.

Nip this in the bud? Is this minority report? Last I checked, you had to do something substantive to get penalties, not "Your thought patterns don't agree with public opinion, therefore private companies should as a public service suppress them."
The immigration argument was never about skilled workers. London itself voted heavily in favour of remaining. Immigration was a stirred-up debate citing unskilled eastern european workers taking low paid jobs, heeding and feeding the insecurities of areas of the UK which are and have been economically depressed for decades.

I expect visas for skilled workers to quickly become very, very easy, and visas for unskilled workers impossible.

Initially my thought was to compare it to the first compiler, back in the days when punch cards were the interface, but I decided against any history lessons that go that far back. In that analogy, the byte code is the machine, and now we all need to be writing compilers for it. This is why so many languages compile to javascript, it's the assembly of the web (not my trademark), in the browser world at least. If you want this code to run in that browser, you gotta pay the penalty of cross compilation inefficiency.

I actually think being browser agnostic is more important; it is sort of the reason we're even looking at wasm replacing asm.js in the first place. asm.js is still javascript, even though it gets handled differently under the covers. Having a second option of language supported by all major browsers is a huge deal, especially one with static typing.

As for the naming thing, a little bit of bikeshedding is healthy from time to time.

No, no slippery slope argument here. My argument is that hate speech is in the eye of the beholder, and is not well defined.

If we had well defined guidelines, such as pedophilia defined as nude people under 18 years old, that would be one thing. Although ridiculous (see all the teenagers who are put on registries for sending naked pictures to each other), at least it can't be twisted to make something else illegal.

Go ahead, define "hate speech". And if the laws already ban hate speech, why wouldn't we just punish the people who violate laws instead of censoring them?

And since hate speech laws vary from society to society, do we have to create a separate site for each country, where the allowable videos shown differ, and the comments are pruned differently?
I think this is an important point. The article says WhatsApp doesn't collect metadata as normal course, but it can and will where legally required.

Then it says Signal doesn't collect metadata, and stops there. I'm pretty willing to bet they're just as governed by NSLs as WhatsApp, and if legally required, can and will collect said metadata and hand it over.

The only way to not do so is to go the Lavabit route.

Research has shown that a lack of "psychological bandwidth" degrades impulse control.

Being excessively poor, having to take care of children or elderly parents, having a crappy job, etc. all take their toll on your ability to execute on things like exercise, cleaning, saving, etc.

Removing the problem of "daily living expenses" from someone's plate is a HUGE step toward helping them improve their situation both physically and mentally.
I am thinking that FOIA and similar laws should be more specific on which kinds of data are considered public record.
As a counterpoint: I reported an unusual bug months ago and it still isn't fixed. Instead they gave me the usual "try turning it on and off again" baloney and then began ignoring the issue.

It's not genetic; it's entirely a cultural change. (Hence the title of the article!) This is specifically addressed in the text:

> A decade after the deaths of the more aggressive males in the troop, Forest Troop preserved a distinct social milieu accompanied by distinct physiological correlates. Critically, as noted, no adult males in F93–96 had been troop members at the end of the tuberculosis outbreak. Instead, these males had subsequently transferred in as adolescents, adopting the local social style.
A lot of that is because, in the current world, staying fit is difficult. I, for example, would be in great shape if I could exercise. I like exercise. Exercise is, in fact, how I discovered that I have joint problems. I unfortunately don't have time to go to a pool every week, which is basically the only exercise I can handle, and so I have trouble with fitness. On larger scales, there are entire towns that don't have access to fresh fruit or vegetables; google "food desert". There are people that don't have enough money to buy anything other than pure calories per dollar without paying any attention to health. There are people whose household water is barely potable and drink soda all the time because it's cheaper than bottled water. There are people that grew up in households that drank soda and have sufficiently shitty jobs that they can't summon up the willpower to change that habit. Then you've got people that simply rolled badly on the genetic lottery or inherited bad intestinal flora and can't be fit no matter what they do.

Removing stresses on time, money, social interaction, culture, and mortality will make the population more healthy, not less healthy.

The problem with linking to Facebook posts is that non-Facebook users are now greeted with a "sign in or sign up" pop-over that cannot be removed and obstructs the page. This is a relatively recent change. Facebook do not want to be part of the open web, so don't link to them as if they are.
