Gross Domestic Happiness is enhanced by caring about things beyond human flourishing for many people. Many people care about the environment. GDH was in fact invented precisely to capture dimensions beyond that of human material improvement (more dams, more houses, etc.)
I would argue advancement ultimately begets happiness, eg, you cure cancer, you save lives, which makes those lives, and the lives that love them, happy.

If the advancement does not serve a purpose that brings happiness, what's the point of advancing?

Another interesting way to look at this is to look at what level of income equality people are advocating for, on a macro scale.

Most people making arguments against income inequality in the US seem to want income to be more equal down to and including themselves, but never very far below themselves. They want it to be equal within the US, but I have a hard time believing they'd be as excited to extend that same income equality worldwide. Doing so would see even the poorest Americans taking a massive cut in lifestyle and living at a level of poverty most people in this country have never seen or experienced.

Reports Show That the World’s Healthiest Countries Eat the Most McDonald’s
Hi HN — Ben from Dropbox here on the desktop client team. Wanted to clarify a few things —

- Clearly we need to do a better job communicating about Dropbox’s OS integration. We ask for permissions once but don’t describe what we’re doing or why. We’ll fix that.

- We only ask for privileges we actively use -- but unfortunately some of the permissions aren’t as granular as we would like.

- We use accessibility APIs for the Dropbox badge (Office integrations) and other integrations (finding windows & other UI interactions).

- We use elevated access for where the built-in FS APIs come up short. We've been working with Apple to eliminate this dependency and we should have what we need soon.

- We never see or store your admin password. The dialog box you see is a native OS X API (i.e. made by Apple).

- We check and set privileges on startup — the intent was to make sure Dropbox is functioning properly, works across OS updates, etc. The intent was never to frustrate people or override their choices.

We’re all jumping on this. We’ll do a better job here and we’re sorry for any anger, frustration or confusion we’ve caused.
> I just hope that if sets and dicts become ordered by spec, that some day someone doesn't feel compelled to implement unordered versions.

Unspecified-order minimizes constraints on future implementations. If someone finds a useful time or space optimization (for particular workloads, not necessarily in big-O asymptotic terms) that isn't consistent with the specified ordering, that might be a compelling reason to implement a version without the ordering constraint. (But, if its not the best choice for general use, that's true even if the default implementation isn't ordered, since its possible that the optimization will still be unsuitable as the default.)

And, obviously, even if the base case has one ordering, there's all kinds of reasons you might need to implement a version with a different ordering.
If we could do that without hurting a single other human?

Absolutely.

Actually, we did that a few years back with Smallpox.

True, there's a debate if viruses are alive, but I have no doubt we'd do the same if it was a bacteria (and possible to obliterate).
I honestly have no idea what you're trying to say here, but if you don't think GGP's almost explicit inference that if those men had been in the "racist" (read: "South Eastern") parts of the US we wouldn't have had their contributions to society isn't a form of dog whistle than we're not going to have a constructive conversation here.

P.S. I'd invite you to visit any of the southern cities I mentioned above to discuss past inequities with any of the hundreds of political organizations that make it their duty to right those past wrongs. Regardless of what you want to believe, we're not all hillbillies spitting into confederate spitoons whenever someone of color walks by, and we most assuredly do not deny the atrocities that occurred in the name of our geographical region. Something tells me you won't take me up on that offer though.

The important thing is to not change information. "Sanitization" as it is commonly used means doing something that (potentially) changes information. Which is in contrast to decoding/encoding/parsing/unparsing/translation/..., which, if done correctly, change representation, but not information.

So, to make it a useful distinction, I would call anything that potentially changes the semantics of the processed data "sanitization", and avoid using the term for anything else.

So, simply parsing a string with an HTML parser, possibly checking for acceptable elements, and then serializing back into some sort of canonical form that is semantically equivalent to the input, that's perfectly fine, and I wouldn't call that sanitization, but rather validation and canonicalization.

If you simply start dropping elements, though, that's probably a bad idea, just as simply dropping "<" characters is a bad idea, because those elements presumably bear some semantic meaning, just as a "<" in a message presumably bears some semantic meaning.

Now, it is not always obvious which level of abstraction to evaluate the semantics (and thus the preservation of semantics) at. So, it might be prefectly fine, for example, to remove or replace some elements where the semantics are known and you can show that, say, removing emphasis still generally preserves the meaning of a text.

But a whitelist approach where you simply remove everything that isn't on the whitelist usually is a bad idea. If you want to have a whitelist, use it for validation, and reject anything that's not acceptable, so the user can transform their input in such a way as to avoid any constructs you don't want, while still retaining the meaning of what they are trying to say.
I'm not saying anyone got screwed, I'm saying that common stock probably is worth $0 (for similar reasons: quick exit, not much time to really build value, etc). "Generous retention" can vary drastically.

The reason I mention it is because it's easy to get sucked into the trap of "hey they exited for $30m, and the person who gave up $40k/year salary for 2% ownership just got a check for $600k!" when that simply isn't realistic. Unless everything goes exactly right, common stock isn't really worth the risk. I think it's an important distinction to make.

Again, not saying anyone got "screwed", just that even in this case, an 8-figure exit could very well mean no common stock holders got a dime. I'm very curious about the terms of the Cruise deal as well -- a 10 figure exit (!), but I'm interested to find out how much the common stock there was actually worth.

Yup. Note that the method of specifically being fed the input sequentially, one by one, means that, for example, "Strings of odd length whose middle character is 'X'" does not comprise a regular language, even though one might naively reason this to be trivial to detect with O(1) memory ("Just go look at the middle character!").
Honestly, many of those things would maybe be okay on Facebook. The subject of this photo in particular was the controversy. From the article...

A Facebook spokeswoman said: “While we recognise that this photo is iconic, it’s difficult to create a distinction between allowing a photograph of a nude child in one instance and not others. We try to find the right balance between enabling people to express themselves while maintaining a safe and respectful experience for our global community."

I switched all my data (about 250Gb) to them from Dropbox a couple of months ago and it has worked out well enough.

Features:

- servers not based in the US

- encryption

- privacy

- open source (thanks lima)

- multiple libraries (like multiple separate Dropbox folders)

- nice file manager for unsynced (parts of) libraries

- price

- payment options (Bitcoin)

- supports more OSes

- one can run one's own server

Cons vs Dropbox:

- syncing problems not always obvious

- some UX issues

- photo support

- selective sync cumbersome (if not using libraries)

- no LAN sync
Who are "we" and why "we" gets to decide what I need and don't need? I mean, when you say "Facebook is a private company and can do whatever the hell they please, including deleting random content because their left foot felt itchy this morning" - I get that. Completely. It's their service, if I like it, I post my cat pictures there, if I don't, I post them elsewhere.

But if you claim the mantle of "we" that is supposed to have special privileges on deciding who needs what on Facebook - I'd really like to know how comes you got this privilege and where it comes from. And no, "think of the kids!!!" is not a good answer.
Indeed.

The threads were full of of anger and distrust in the gaming press being stoked by past incidents, including that one. All that changed was that for some reason social justice activists decided to tie their credibility to that of the gaming press.

I would only agree with your interpretation of my argument if you stated that you owned a tavern franchise in every town in the country, and every patron had to have a (free) membership to...

Ok you know what? This analogy falls apart because the mediums of exchange are so vastly different there really isn't any comparison, so I really don't see how Facebook is in the right on this. I already said people can go to other "taverns," but comparing physical locations and Internet social networks is like comparing apples and Orange County, California.

Something away from the scandal itself, non-American here and I don't get plea deals. I mean, normally, a trial can result in acquittal even if the defendant admits their guilt if there's very strong objective evidence(DNA records etc.) disproving it. There has existed previous cases where some new evidence surfaced years after a plea deal and the defendant, previously found guilty, was released. So, why does a plea deal result in no trial at all? Shouldn't there be an, even very hastened, trial even if the defendant pleads guilty? That seems to be result if we only consider the American Justice System and Logic.
Paying for "active" features is pretty standard in enterprise though, especially since Meraki took off. It's all a product-as-service game. A lot of Enterprise companies are moving towards making the hardware free if you sign for the long term service packages.

Shortage has a specific term in economics, which pretty much only happens because of price controls.

However if people start liking kale, and the price goes up 20% and you start telling people about the massive kale shortage people will think you're being a little histrionic.
What a sound and reasonable opinion, in my opinion.
Doing mumbo-jumbo between branches with `git stash` is way to hell. Don't do it, you lose data. This fucker will unstash changes until first conflict, then it stop and present you with <<<<<<<ID and >>>>>>>ID which nobody understand.
Well I understand it, but never know which is which (theirs/ours label don't help here). You try to undo everything, but then you're fucked - all unstashed changes are removed from stash while conflicts are still there. You must be very careful now not to lose changes. You won't succeed!

That is I believe `git stash` should be removed from git as evil data loosing feature, not needed. Instead just make an alias `git save <TEMP_BRANCH_NAME>` which saves your temporary work to the branch:

`save = !sh -c 'export PREV=$(git symbolic-ref HEAD|cut -d/ -f3-) && git checkout -b "$1" && git commit -am "$1" && git checkout "$PREV"' -`
Along these lines, the argument says "Facebook is large, and should therefore be subjected to regulation".

Government is far larger than Facebook, and far more insulated from the people than is Facebook. I can't imagine why we extend trust to the government to fix a situation where we don't trust facebook.

It's all run by people, with their own competing goals.

And lets not forget that facebook could collapse overnight if enough people decided to stop using it. I don't think a population could exert that level of influence over a government.

Ok. So you know that Japan was the country that conquered and colonized Korea, right?

And you know that the Soviets insisted on dividing Korea?

And you know that the North Korean regime was basically a Soviet puppet through 1991?

And that the North Koreans initiated the Korean War?

Just checking.
That's why I'm a little crestfallen that an engineer was first to be charged. By all means, charge the guilty & complicit, but I'm apprehensive the order could aide the narrative VW's execs tried to spin at first ('This company-wide scandal was clearly the work of exactly one rouge engineer') and help them get out scot-free.
Clearly not enough (or enough of the right ones I guess).

The regulation had a noticeable effect in Germany: As soon as it was in effect every chain started to accept MasterCard and Visa cards. That includes the most frugal stores that have razor thin margins.

I find it very interesting and frankly quite stupid that Ford is attempting to become an Uber / Silicon Valley / Technology type company[1]. They practically made the auto industry and have been a leading manufacturer for ~100 years. But lets drop and forget all that, technology is cool!

I predict that in 5-10 years this will really come back to haunt them. I was planning to buy some Ford stock for a while, but after seeing this shift, not touching it with a 10ft pole.

A judge has to approve the plea deal, so usually this is a kind of a very hastened trial. Unfortunately sometimes it boils down to the rubber stamping.
Security might be served much better with a more "LTS" Android that would give hardware companies less excuses to leave devices behind. Not only less excuses, but also less incentive to do so: "no more boring security updates" is a much weaker carrot to lure users to new devices than "no more exciting new sugary snacks", which usually also implies no more security updates anyways.
> While we recognise that this photo is iconic, it’s difficult to create a distinction between allowing a photograph of a nude child in one instance and not others.

Just because distinguishing between mere nudity and inappropriate nudity may be difficult in some cases doesn't mean it shouldn't be done, or, moreover, that it isn't necessary to be done in order to "find the right balance between enabling people to express themselves and while maintaining a safe and respectful experience".

Incidentally, protecting people from things that they neither need nor want protection from can be at least as disrespectful as exposing them to things that they wish to avoid.
