Google is in competition with a lot of other companies, and they've decided they're in a stronger position if they don't set off a firestorm of criticism that gives people an excuse to move to a different service.

Even if you personally don't care about erotic pictures, if your grandma starts associating google with porn (because a case like this became high enough profile to get covered by the local news), and then you e-mail her from your google account, now you're having an uncomfortable conversation with your grandma. Or your wife or mother or sister or really conservative friend or whatever. Which isn't enough to make everyone leave, but it's enough to make some people leave, and pretty soon Bing or Yahoo would have bigger mindshare.

It's a lot easier for Google to just say "ToS violation = deleted" and be done with it, and occasionally have to reverse a decision if there's too much fallout.

It definitely looks cool, but may I ask what's the problem that is being solved here? Does it support tmux or at least window splits?

Which problems does this solve that the regular Terminal didn't solve? I'm kind of lost here, "I need some fireworks while I type in my terminal" is not a problem that I have often to be honest.
>Instead I can make a terminal that's significantly more efficient and responsive

...and that runs on exactly one OS, and doesn't support the 250k+ Node modules, and that doesn't support standardized plugins, and that can't open web pages locally...

Some people, for sure. In my experience, I usually see people checking it for 30 seconds or so but many times daily. Even if you're right, it still seems like a no-brainer that the average Pokemon GO player would spend more time playing than the average Facebook user is on Facebook.
A debugger is something that helps sell an IDE by padding the feature list more than something most people will use much.

Because you have the most experience in environments where debuggers can only reach a small fraction of their potential. (Barely better than printf) Let me assure you that there are very different environments out there, and have been for decades.
No, xe was merely pointing out a cost that isn't factored into "free upgrade". You're probably not realizing that to people with long experience of Microsoft marketing, upgrading to Windows hasn't necessarily meant from Windows.
There's a clear trend in the industry to increasingly rely on cloud services, so it seems reasonable that machine learning would follow the same trend. As long as the compute is in the same data center, data transfer is rarely the bottleneck for these kinds of deep learning algorithms, which is why we designed algorithmia to be able to operate anywhere -- on all the major cloud providers, as well as on premise.
> wouldn't normally care to weigh in on Thiel, but his supporters keep using the phrase "he helped fund a legitimate lawsuit" as though that has anything to do with Thiel's motivation or the end result.

Probably part of it is because the judge agreed with Thiel's motivation. It was also appealed and thrown out of court. The fine was surely intended to bankrupt the company. Something judges do have the power to do.

To be honest I don't think even Thiel thought Gawker would fuck up its own defense this badly. They were pressing all the wrong buttons. I'm sure you've heard how the trial went.

> I don't think billionaires should be able to use money and the courts to shut down speech they don't like.

In this specific court case the speech was outright illegal even before they defied a court order.

In the general case that is up for a far ranging debate. My two cents are that it is extremely likely Gawker was/is working for a covert political organization (like how Salon* is also), as such it is a PR firm masquerading as journalism. The only question I have in my mind is whether Denton is aware of being co-opted. He must surely have realized something was up recently. I won't spell it out here but if you do some google searches you shall see some interesting things.

If you are a popular media organization with a poor or non-existent profit stream but readily available capital from nowhere for many years then you might find yourself in a spot of political trouble.

* From their wiki: Salon has been unprofitable through its entire history. Since 2007, the company has been dependent on ongoing cash injections from board Chairman John Warnock and William Hambrecht, father of former Salon CEO Elizabeth Hambrecht.
Looks like VS Code has a plugin that integrates with GDB.

If downloading videos violates YouTube's TOS, but YouTube is violating the Creative Commons license by enforcing this aspect of their TOS, is this restriction enforceable?
It takes big data to train but that trained model can work on "small data" or big data. One-off uses for apps really do lend themselves well to a hosted solution like this IMHO. If you need to classify lots of data – then you are probably at a point to either train your own model or buy it from the developer via this site, I'd think.

Very useful in statistics too: if you can show that your estimator attains the Fano lower bound rate of convergence then it's optimal--nothing else can possibly beat it (in the minimax sense anyways).

So you effectively agree that solid ethic opinions help fighting this. Then why you started your comment with "No, ..."? :)

This statement has no relevance to the conversation -- it doesn't magically produce any obligation for Google to act differently than it does.

> The first words you see when you visit

And clearly in the terms of service (the only thing that actually matters,) it says:

> Google may also stop providing Services to you, or
> add or create new limits to our Services at any time. [1]

Safety is subjective, that's how they can get away with this. The terms of service go on to say:

> WHEN PERMITTED BY LAW, GOOGLE, AND GOOGLE’S SUPPLIERS
> AND DISTRIBUTORS, WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST
> PROFITS, REVENUES, OR DATA, FINANCIAL LOSSES OR
> INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR
> PUNITIVE DAMAGES. [1]

That pretty much seals the deal. The user provides affirmative consent to all of this.

Self hosting is a thing. Again, none of this is Google's problem.

Using any service (online or offline) is inherently risky. Users are deciding to take that risk and then whining when the risk does not pay off. You remain free to distribute information however you like.

I'm not saying these aren't problems -- I'm saying these aren't Google's problems. They're running a business, not a technology charity. If you don't like it, don't use Google products and encourage others not to. It's simple cause and effect: Google treats us badly, we stop using Google. Google is free to operate however they like and I'm free to stop using their services.

ES6 fixes most of my biggest problems with JavaScript as a language, and adds a few things I didn't think of, but are nice. Generators, destructuring assignment, nicer class syntax, etc. I found this series of blog posts helpful: https://hacks.mozilla.org/category/es6-in-depth/

Sure, there's still a lot of old code out there to read, but I would guess this project is using mostly modern patterns. Most Node projects do.

What else would be a better indicator of math competency than math tests?

Have you investigated why there's a difference? Your comments seem to be leaning toward dismissing this problem as not in need of an explanation, but the explanation matters a great deal. Do you believe those scores could be changed by changing educational approaches? Do you believe there's something genetically innate causing the lower scores? Do you believe there's some social factor or combination of factors which could be changed?

You don't get to just say "oh, score gap, question answered".
It GREATLY depends on the narrative.

Yes, some companies will have filters for things like "hasn't worked in X months => automatic dismiss pile", but by and large, I've found that it depends how that gap fits in with the rest of your life/work story.

They'll wonder about the following Was that gap after 3 months working somewhere? Was it after 5 years? What caused it? Boredom? Familial reasons? Illness?
With a tight narrative (e.g. reasonable explanations and a human story), you'll be fine. The person(s) on the other end are also human beings, and most recognize that life happens. It's okay.

Are they falsely advertising, pretending to be public utilities? And is that what's going on - people actually being tricked and thinking they're public services?

To be honest, I can't say I've ever seen an ad for Facebook or Gmail. They entered my world like I imagine most people -- because I heard about them from friends.
The Creative Commons license specifies:

> You may not apply legal terms or technological measures that legally restrict others from doing anything the license permits.

To my understanding, this is felt to be in conflict with the restriction on downloading in YouTube's Terms of Service. I'm not an expert on open-source licenses, but I think that's where the violation is believed to lie.
You can't really apply for asylum in the "EU", you need to apply for asylum at a country. Often there are also travel restrictions in place and asylum status e.g. in Greece doesn't allow you to just move to Germany, Italy or France.

And as some comments have pointed out: With very good English, your opportunites are obviously a lot better in the UK than in any other country.
> It's a huge benefit as a developer (and obviously other professions too) to work on teams with people who have lived very different lives.

I can see how that would be true for some types of development, but there are also many type for which I don't see offhand how it would matter.

For instance, if I were doing web design for my employer's shopping cart site I could see how having a diverse team could greatly help because the team would have people on it that are part of or identify with more of our customer demographics.

I as a white male mid-50s atheist tall fat guy could easily inadvertently come up with a design that might turn off non-whites, females, young people or elderly people, religious people, short people, or skinny people. Even if I don't end up doing something to offend people, I could simply miss opportunities that people of other backgrounds might see.

In fact, I've seen that kind of thing. I saw a company that was making CD-ROM caching software in the '90s find a nice cluster of sales when an employee who was also a Mormon pointed out that this software worked extremely well with the CD-ROM genealogy databases that were becoming quite popular among Mormons. Without that Mormon employee, they would have probably never noticed that Mormons could be a distinct market segment for this product that was worth specifically targeting.

What I actually work on, though, is backend stuff like processing orders and subscription billing, interfacing to payment processors, reporting sales tax in the US and VAT in Europe, analyzing A/B tests, and so on. Would having a diverse team working on this actually produce any different results?
Well, two things really:

1) It's definitely not a Google project. CoreOS just gave a great example of that (Redhat, Samsung, Huawei, IBM, Cisco, etc etc etc)
2) We plan on fully supporting OCI and any container technology that supports that interface should run without issue. So, to the extent that a unikernel runtime supported that, then you're good. There are, of course, many items to be sorted out (how do you provide underlying scheduling, how do you handle the functions that kubelet currently provides, how do you provide effective debugging, etc), but I'll leave that to smarter folks than I to work out :)

If you don't want to think about auth, you're basically looking for a CMS.

All traditional web frameworks make you plug in your actual authentication store, though most obviously provide some notion of access control or permissions.

If that's the case then presenting on a whiteboard certainly should be part of your interview process. My post is a complaint about the ubiquity of it and that it's used inappropriately, not that it's a thing teams use at all. I underatand that it has it's place.

There are quite a few homages to the film including the piano cover of "Where Is My Mind" playing when Elliot is showing Tyrell around the Fun Society gaming room. Quite analogous to The Narrator showing Marla the buildings collapsing.

Though I'm not a stats researcher, that sounds very similar to the Cramer Rao bound (a lower limit on the variance of any unbiased estimator, something akin to the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality only for point estimation).
This is VS 2015, not VS Code. Though VS Code does have some C/C++ plugins that, I assume, integrate with GDB.
I don't have any skin in this but I don't understand what it means for a terminal to "support the 250k+ Node modules," or any of the features you listed, honestly
This is a non-story. CC licensing says that the copyright owner permits you to make copies of the content; it places no obligation on Google to help you do this, or even to allow you to use their service to do this.

> I'm just saying that LOC is a fairly useless metric for evaluating software.

That's just not true.

Most open-source people want to be able to read, audit, fix, and (if it comes to it) maintain other people's code. 14+ million lines of code make this virtually impossible. (To be fair: Electron-based apps aren't the best example for the point I'm trying to make.)

Rate of change is another very useful metric.

First names, too, see Valērija/Valēris in Latvian (male names -s, female names -a). Same for family names.

After we were married, my wife's family name changed to 'match' my non-Latvian name, and our son got a different family name on his LV passport. e.g.

John Smith <-> Jana Smitha

Josefs Smiths/Joseph Smith

We use the LV passports for primary ID, which sometimes causes some confusion when setting up family accouts etc. with non-passport-control staff.

TL;DR: Men are not picky, but women are. Men can get more matches with a bio and more pics.
Finally, a topic I can consider myself some kind of expert in!

For the record, here are my credentials: I've tinder-valeted multiple guy friends, selecting women and conversing with them and warming things up for them. My friends happen to be across a wide variety of attractiveness and success spectrum.

Observations:

1. As is obvious, attractive/successful men get a lot more likes than women.

2. Guys who get lesser matches get increasingly desperate, and start liking everyone.

3. Being 'picky' for guys is hard work. It seems funny when I put it this way, but going through hundreds/thousand(s) of women, and even making a binary choice of yes/no is actually pretty tiring. Even my better guy friends have tended to go on the safer side and pick the earlier choices, because oh god it's a tiring head-aching process, even if you have a group of friends assisting you with the choice and the conversations.

Going through Tinder so much has made me very very very cynical either about people, or the kind of people on Tinder. We're all stereotypes. Really. One picture with mountain in the background, one with a beach, one in Europe, one with friends, one with pet/lonely pouty picture. Bios mentioning 1) 'sarcasm' 2) love of beer 3) love of scotch/whisky. Some mention their heights, most add ' I don't know why this matters but here it is'. Almost everyone desirable puts 'not into hookups', but rarely means it. So many other things. It was only after I started heavily using Tinder (for others) that I really appreciated meeting/dating people more in person/talking over the phone and got really into 'old school' dating.

Anyone else have very different experience?
As an IT professional for 20 years I'm unable to rant. I see what troubles me and people around me and report it ;-) I don't make things up.
