I'd be very curious to see what would happen if NYT had posted this.
The regular one can't output a 4K signal at all since it doesn't support HDMI 2.0, and it can't really run games at 1080p not to mention upscale them to 4K.

And people would buy whatever they would be sold on so it doesn't matter, Sony and Microsoft managed to sell their current line of console as a good 1080p experience, since there isn't a better alternative other than a gaming PC people buy what there is doesn't make it any more true.
In the US legal system, that’d still be a derived work.

This might be an interesting read for you: http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/entry/23
It's not an absurd statement, it's the truth. Europe can't compete with American web tech (and probably even software in general). Think about it. In your day to day dealings with computers, what percentage of the software you use is American/European? I'm betting it's something like 99:1 (unless you try to make the claim the Linux is Finnish even though the majority of the developers for it are American and the creator himself is an American citizen). Compare to cars, which are more evenly split between countries (Japanese, European, American, etc.).

I'm not backtracking on that argument.

OP made a poor attempt to excuse Europe's lack of competitiveness in the software/web tech scene by waving their hands and saying "We invented all of it" (which is highly debatable). Claiming that Europe invented the web because HTTP came out of CERN and some European person envisioned a global network is bogus. Those are only tiny parts of what make up "the web". You conveniently sweep ARPANET, TCP/IP, and other core web technologies under the rug.

That's pretty much software development 101. Been happening for decades before git.
I'm not on fb. I read in the comment from the spokeswoman that the distinction cannot be made by their robotic rules. So I believe this illustrates a limitation of their AI. And they don't care so much about the people than their algorithms. Just an opinion.
Wasn't it already advised by the FAA not to put anything with a battery in it in checked luggage?
Yeah, the O(1) refers to the size of the EXTRA memory you need, aside from the input. Defining it any other way would be strange. So, for instance, binary search over a sorted list needs O(log n) of memory (for the same reason as the prime algorithm, the pointer in the array is size O(log n) of the size of the array), even though the input is O(n).
define "significantly".

elastic beanstalk is about as simple as it gets... choose your platform and upload a zip file or use git deploys. how could heroku be "significantly" easier?
Besides it being a book, not sure what the irony is here. PDF is a poor way to disseminate information via the web, but excellent for distributing information in a container that you envision as uniform and universal -- in this case, paper.

Many Americans? Many Americans are dumb as a brick like most people in every other place.

The world falling to shit? How much history have you read? Because the world is better than it has ever been. War activities are at an all-time low.

I won't even start with the middle east. That issue was started at the start of the 20th century. It sort of got solved and then the SU opened it up again.

If you think people hate Americans, you live in America or in one of very few America-hating countries. The US is a very new country with no bad blood running deep. Japan and China? China and Korea? Japan and Korea? India and Pakistan? Iran and Saudi Arabia? Now that is hate.

I occasionally use probabilistic programming systems, and find this project fascinating, but I've been wondering for a while what the vision is.

Is it meant mainly as a research project/proof of concept (seems I've seen elsewhere that it's funded by the DARPA PPAML project), or is it intended to become a commonly used piece of software with a community like pymc3 and stan?
Bravo! Thank you for the full story.

Would fusing many tightly coupled Gs (lots of send's and recv's to each other) into a larger G by transformation into a state machine be a way to reduce scheduler overhead? Of course, you may not frequently know ahead-of-time which Gs are tightly coupled.

It's not that I'm, gasp! offended, by the use of a "dirty word", but rather that this kind of gratuitous swearing seems designed purely to make the website somehow appear "cooler" than it would otherwise be with a simple boring name.

Personally, I don't buy it. To me, it simply makes the author appear juvenile, decidedly un-professional, caring more about appearance than substance. It is exactly the kind of childish stunt I would expect from the "brogrammer" crowd. It's fucking embarrassing already!

Programmers should not try to access memory beyond the end of an array. They should not attempt to add ints and strings. They should not give a function a float when it expects a struct.

But they do. So we try to design languages in such a way as to minimise the likelihood of these mistakes going unnoticed.
No true introvert.

The term itself is useless anymore because it conflates shyness, introspection (an aspect of introversion, classically), and symptoms of social anxiety.
They'll still profit from additional ad revenue when other people, like your friends and family, view your posts and use facebook longer than they would have because they are interested in you and your life.
Of course the only way to be 100% sure would be to actually test it out by sending an actual email isn't it. This is just so obvious. I think the point of email regexes out there is not to make up for the user's silly typing mistake. It's just more to reject nonsensical/malicious/blatantly false inputs etc. as the first layer of protection really, and nobody would really spend tons of time on crafting a "perfect" regex anyways I'm pretty sure, so that's never been a problem at all.
Exactly. This is a country that has sunk ships, shelled civilians, and abducted foreign nationals (Japanese, mostly), forcing them to work for the regime. Every time, they have pretty much gotten away with it. It may all be coldly rational brinkmanship, or they may be as crazy as they look. I would not put it past them to explode a nuclear warhead on Japanese territory as a big, "Don't mess with us," message if they thought they could get away with it. Remember, reality does not matter, it is what they believe that matters. You might say that would be national suicide, but I don't need to understand the motivation to understand that suicide bombers exist.

Honestly, I don't know how the U.S. would respond to such an event, especially if they were not certain that they could prevent another launch.
.. both of which are subject to different kinds of government regulation. But Facebook is definitely a medium. In some ways like a telecom or transit operator.
Agreed on all points. Self-hosted alternatives?
Take a look at netlify (https://www.netlify.com). We're like a heroku tailored for that stack.
Given the post, it will officially be released when Chrome 54 goes out of beta, and there's roughly 6 weeks between Chrome releases too. So, expect it to be released about 4-8 weeks from now.
It's worth noting that the freedom of expression is generally believed to apply more broadly than just to governments.

For example, from the UN Declaration of Universal Human Rights, Article 19:

Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

It's my opinion that Facebook is impeding on that right, and that it's going to come back to bite them at some point.

http://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/
At Google certain images are considered EDSA (Educational, Documentary, Scientific or Artistic). I wonder if this would have been considered EDSA vs Facebook's decision to say it's against ToS.

That said, it totally makes sense that they have a consistent policy. Whether you find their overall abuse ToS objectionable should be the main consideration here. It's OK to me that they seem to have decided that imagery containing nude children should be hard-banned. It's a decision couched in the desire to protect children, not some heavy-handed censorship.
That's a very dangerous path on which to travel. China passes some strong laws what media organizations can and can't do. Free speech isn't a right given by governments, but one cultivated and protected by the people.

The marketplace solves these problems. Nobody is forced to use Facebook. If so many people care, perhaps they ought to vote with their dollar and seek alternatives. If they are unwilling to do that, it's on them and not the company that would support censorship.

Don't like tacos? Don't buy tacos. The government ought not tell taco vendors they can't sell tacos but instead reduce regulation to make it easier for a pizza guy to start a business. Less regulation by definition, increased freedom.
> If one branch has a commit and the other branch doesn't, merging them will mean that the commit is there. If one branch has the commit while the other branch has the commit and a revert for that commit, merging will mean it will be reverted.

See, I fundamentally disagree that this is what I wanted. When I merge my thing with change x into head I expect to see my changes actually go in. Not to see commits retroactively added to head. The merge was the action, not some weird rewriting of historical order of events.

It would take hundred of thousands of people to make a dent in Facebook that way.

Having a handful of people in the right committees will have a much, much bigger impact than years of dissatisfied users ever will.

It's not a time saver, unless you are small and one developer works on both sides of integration. Integration through database is an antipattern, because it makes apps strongly coupled and fragile and building an app on top of Heroku Connect database adds extra management and maintenance costs, required to keep both sides in sync.

We can come up with hundreds of simplified lighting models. Have you tried the one you mentioned? Does it correspond to photographs, video? That's the hard work, and it's why I listed none.

Here's something specific: What did you mean by "multiply"? You cannot "multiply" colors. Not unless you concede that your model has nothing whatsoever to do with physical reality. And at that point, why not use a photo of nature (or your eyes' perception of nature) as a baseline comparison?

From http://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/I_35.html:

"The phenomenon of colors depends partly on the physical world. We discuss the colors of soap films and so on as being produced by interference. But also, of course, it depends on the eye, or what happens behind the eye, in the brain. Physics characterizes the light that enters the eye, but after that, our sensations are the result of photochemical-neural processes and psychological responses.

There are many interesting phenomena associated with vision which involve a mixture of physical phenomena and physiological processes, and the full appreciation of natural phenomena, as we see them, must go beyond physics in the usual sense. We make no apologies for making these excursions into other fields, because the separation of fields, as we have emphasized, is merely a human convenience, and an unnatural thing. Nature is not interested in our separations, and many of the interesting phenomena bridge the gaps between fields."

If you want something from FB: its reach, you need to play by its rules, however arbitrary they may be. If you wish to change the laws of physics, go and get yourself your own planet. It is much easier in this case: just choose a different forum.

Facebook > Every other country on the planet

Facebook is a country because it is acts as an independent sovereign state which is not answerable to anyone at this point. Apparently, it already makes up its own taxation laws[1]. I expect them to release their own flag, maybe a national anthem?

[1] http://www.forbes.com/sites/kellyphillipserb/2016/07/29/face...

But of the many truly troubling things I see with FB's policies - their alarming intrusiveness and ruthless exploitation of our need for being social, choosing its own censorship policy is not one of them, especially if it is consistent. I would rather see them made answerable to privacy violations.
I used to do implementation of infrastructure on a project basis and found that every customer wants the best uptime possible until they get hit with the cost. Very quickly active/active failover proposals would turn to active/passive proposals with expectations of downtime if a failure occurred.

The evil has a name: Günther Öttinger.

Öttinger is pushing for what he calls the "Digital Single Market". The main idea is to facilitate the free flow of online services and entertainment across national borders (of the EU). So far so good. But given that he, the commissioner for Digital Economy and !Society!, apparently only cares about the market and not what I'd call the indigenous Internet population/culture (which apparently all bigger political and economic players want to eliminate or at least don't care about) the dark era approaches indeed.

Since he appears to view the Internet as nothing but a market and comes across like a guy from the past I'd speculate that he strives for some sort of protectionism for the European Internet (/"market") truly believing that this is what the EU really needs.

Designing a language to minimize the likelihood of these mistakes is a motivation for language design, but usually far from the primary.

"Programmers should not try to access memory beyond the end of an array"
^ Right, and when they do, it's called a logical bug, something to be fixed. A programmer relying on the incidental but unspecified behavior of a function would be making a similar mistake.

Profanity is a tough issue because it's so cultural. A great example is the word 'suck' - it's pretty well accepted in the vernacular today when expressing 'very bad', but I remember my 8th-grade English teacher (an older lady) talking about how she'd prefer if we didn't use it. It used to have sexual connotations, moreso than it does today. Same deal with my wife's grandmother: that word will get you a glare if you're not talking about what a vacuum cleaner does.

So it's a weird feedback loop - if words aren't deemed to be profane, no one thinks twice about them. If words are deemed to be profane, some people will ban them, which makes other people not use them just because they're not supposed to be used.

Censorship can actually propagate profanity, in this sense. As language changes, words can become unacceptable (How many Richards are using the common nickname these days? Would you use the three-letter British term for a cigarette anymore?) or acceptable (apparently 'leg' and 'bull' were frowned upon in Victorian times).

I'm aware of all this. And, to be honest, I'm not as offended as my comments probably make me out to be. I usually just pass this stuff by, but since someone had already commented I figured I'd chime in as well.

For me, there are words that I don't want to say for cultural reasons, so I follow the 'you are what you eat' principle. If I don't saturate myself with language that I don't want to use, I'm less likely to use it. Also, there are often times when I find that stronger language is reflective of attitudes that I don't want to have. So I wouldn't replace 'suck' with 'stink' when I want to express that someone isn't good at something; rather, I'd try to phrase my criticism in a more constructive way.

I found out this actually happens recently (if you have a record in Canada). A recent client of my lawyer partner had a past record ( domestic abuse and one more minor crime) and went to prison for stealing about $15-20 of food because he was hungry.

Regardless I know what you're saying. But there may still be the potential for a computer in the future which can analyze the context of the past thousands and thousands of human judge cases with machine learning algorithms. So it's not just a literal interpretation of law.

The challenge is establishing parameters such as previous record, age, grievousness of crime, etc. The goal is to provide a balance to human emotion. Maybe the solution here is providing that to judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys through technology.
