As you say, it isn't. But the author doesn't say that that's what it's for.

The author describes three stages in collection, from no data, to third-party collections, and now to government collection.

The given Guardian link shows that blacks are twice as likely as whites to be killed, on a per-capita basis. This is consistent with the hypothesis that there is systemic racism, which previously was mostly conjectural due to lack of data. In the Poppler viewpoint, the racism hypothesis made a testable prediction, which was shown to be true.

Beyond that, the question is about what level of evidence is required before you can say here is proof. Some might say this is evidence which supports multiple hypotheses, others might say it's proof.

Still others might use the term "weak proof" when there some supporting evidence which isn't conclusive. For examples, http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/horoscope-is-a-weak-proof-of-... says "Horoscope is a weak proof of birthdate: Supreme Court" and https://www.aan.com/Guidelines/home/GetGuidelineContent/251 says "When compared to injections without steroids, there is weak proof that epidural steroid injections may result in some improvement in radicular lumbosacral pain in the short term, when assessed between two and six weeks after the injection."

Is "weak proof" a type of proof? (Is "dwarf planet" a type of planet?)

In any case, the author shows why data collection can be useful to test a hypothesis, then describes how the State of California will now be collecting the data, but doesn't make the concrete connection that CA will be collecting that data for that specific purpose.

As to the legislative history of the bill, in the summer of 2015 senators Booker and Boxer proposed the PRIDE bill for better nationwide reporting. Booker writes, at https://medium.com/@CoryBooker/the-role-of-reliable-data-in-... :

> Almost half a century later, tragic events across the country — in New York, Ferguson, North Charleston and Baltimore — have reminded us how critical trust is to the fabric of our democracy. These incidents have raised the public’s awareness and sparked a long overdue national debate about how police and citizens interact and how they should interact.

and how it's hard to act without good data. This shows that PRIDE is coupled to the question of possible influence of racism in how police deal with people.

That's a proposed bill at the federal level. It's not the state bill. The history of CA AB-71 is at https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm... . That bill started a few months after PRIDE. The analysis for the bill includes specific references to PRIDE. It sounds very much like the same concerns of Booker are also behind AB-71, which includes knowing if there is a systemic racial bias in police initiated violence.

So while the bill doesn't say it outright, the reason for the bill seems to include gathering the information which can help prove (or disprove) systemic racism.
> No, I'm criticizing the wording.

Well, except that you are expressly ignoring a key word in doing that.
I never said they were or were not. But that only sets the tone and the coverage. Emails/Benghazi/Clinton Foundation got plenty of coverage by the "liberal" media. The facts were found, and they moved on.

What's the old saying, facts have a liberal bias?
I worked on both Atom and RSS Feeds for blogging engines. Frankly, Atom had for me no real advantage. RSS is easy to generate, and it is supported properly by so many clients that Atom can be comfortably ignored. Stuff like the guid not being a guid work in practice just fine.
"Single core performance is still the single most important metric for most users,"

This is an empty statement backed by no data. The only evidence you provide to the superiority of single core perf is browser performance. Except,

1) browser usage is now a mostly insignificant part of time spent on mobile (http://flurrymobile.tumblr.com/post/127638842745/seven-years... )

and

2) The bottleneck in mobile apps which depend on the network (including browsing the web) is rarely the CPU, it's the network.

You may have missed the part where Yahoo engineers implemented this scheme, they are to blame as much as management here, possibly more because they could've walked away and gotten a different job without much trouble, but management had a responsibility to the whole organization.

Contrast with the rumors that Apple engineers were prepared to refuse & resign if ordered to share the iPhone's encryption keys.
Material design is like bootstrap for mobile. Good to give devs something they can't mess up too badly, but is pretty soulless.
Agreed. You should either be an on duty cop, or an off duty rent a cop. Not both. This could have been handled a lot better.
They will do away with the Windows 10 name in two-three year's time and just call it "Windows", it being their final operating system product. All iterations and patching can be done via their update services.

At the same time, the OS will be made free-for-download, not just upgrade, since they have already made the bulk profits from sales. Focus will shift to spreading their base product, the OS, to everyone and live off of services they provide within their ecosystem. All products, enterprise and otherwise, will move towards a SaaS structure, where they will attempt to push pre-made packages onto customers big and small alike. Office 365 was the pilot.

We know freedom loving software engineers after decades of posturing have long folded and left Snowden holding the baby.

We also know companies here are either closely linked to intelligence agencies or bending over backwards.

We know the executive branch is in the middle of a full blown identity crisis of whether they are the good guys or bad guys of the world. Closesly followed by a legal system that has developed a third world regime like affinity for blanket gag orders and rubber stamping with 100% approval rates. This is a bit like tasking the fox to protect the hens.

A proprietary VR framework for a specific flavor of mobile phone with inadequate displays that will make people want to vomit if they try to use it for any serious amount of time. Wonderful.

That's neither fair nor accurate. Google wants to do VR at Android scale and they're starting with their flagship phone. The claim about the display and vomiting just isn't true.

God forbid we come together on WebVR instead of turning the VR space into yet another "monopolies punching eachother" not-invented-here pit fight.

People are coming together on WebVR! Chrome, Edge, Firefox, the GearVR browser all have experimental support for it and the spec is working its way through the W3C review process.
This is the right answer. Putting your phone into a visor is an awkward stop-gap but ultimately it needs to be something that can interface with your phone, wirelessly, so you can simply pop it on whenever you want to play around with some VR.
Close! tis-interpreter requires inputs to drive it, so we fed it inputs that the CRS generated, that AFL generated, and some existing test cases. tis-interpreter found 4 bugs and clang found 1.

> This doesn't necessarily mean CRS is bad, it may just mean that there are no bugs of the classes CRS finds in zlib.

Yes, exactly! This is why we included so much detail about coverage in the report. Basically, "stop looking for these kinds of bugs in these places, focus your efforts elsewhere in the code."
New in what way? Finally it looks like that Google consolidated it`s efforts in something meaningful. With google home, wifi, casts, pixel (for which they control manufacturing), AI in the front, google photos for free (unlimited full-res storage for pixel phones), you can not say that they are not going in the right direction. Complaining because of some price bump or some nitpicking is closing the eyes on the big picture. This is the first nexus(now pixel) phone that I am excited about after the first one was announced.
Looks like a real deal.

That line "the private server of the Clinton clan" is taken verbatim from the site.

It's not claiming that this is from HRC's private email server, just that this is from a different internal server.
Direct from Comey's mouth, he said they actually did break the law. He then continues to say that no reasonable prosecutor would take the case against her – not for lack of evidence, but just because they wouldn't.

"Our investigation looked at whether there is evidence classified information was improperly stored or transmitted on that personal system, in violation of a federal statute making it a felony to mishandle classified information either intentionally or in a grossly negligent way, or a second statute making it a misdemeanor to knowingly remove classified information from appropriate systems or storage facilities."

...

"From the group of 30,000 e-mails returned to the State Department, 110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains contained information that was Top Secret at the time they were sent; 36 chains contained Secret information at the time; and eight contained Confidential information, which is the lowest level of classification. "

...

"With respect to the thousands of e-mails we found that were not among those produced to State, agencies have concluded that three of those were classified at the time they were sent or received, one at the Secret level and two at the Confidential level."

...

"Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information [no one is saying she's a spy], there is evidence that they were extremely careless [gross negligence] in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information."

In fact, the FBI stated the exact opposite: there is evidence of legal violations, but due to "a number of factors," they don't recommend charges:

"Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case."

He goes on to explicitly say that these consequences would be different for other people:

"To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions. But that is not what we are deciding now."

Yes, I switched to YouTube RSS feeds a few weeks ago and it is so much better than YouTube's subscription notifications.

- The message subject has the video title
- You can subscribe to playlists
- Notifications aren't randomly lost (a new feature YouTube launched a few weeks ago)

It's amazing, so they'll probably deprecate the RSS feeds next week.

Isn't its bootloader locked? Last time I checked you needed to go to Motorola's website to download a key specific to your phone so you could unlock it, but it voided the warranty.
Honestly I notice more Android on my iPad than I notice iOS on my phone. iOS finally got custom keyboards so I can use a proper mobile keyboard like Swype, the notification panel isn't as useless as it was and is a lot richer like on Android. Its really only a matter of time until iOS introduces widgets on the home screen. I've convinced more than a couple people to switch to Android for their phone simply because you can have your calendar and todo list right where you can always see it.

Were hamburger buttons an Android thing? I noticed them everywhere, including on the web.
IMHO, Google should use Material Design for their Android applications, but it doesn't belong in iOS applications.

Note the attitude toward encryption:

Former NSA General Counsel Stewart Baker said email providers "have the power to encrypt it all, and with that comes added responsibility to do some of the work that had been done by the intelligence agencies."
Just because it's classified now doesn't mean that it was classified at the time it was sent. And in fact it's possible for an email to be retroactively classified after the fact.

A document doesn't even have to contain classified information to be retroactively classified. For example, let's say a merchant who once gave the USG a tip on something sensitive is petitioning the State Department for the release of some of his goods that are being unreasonably tied up in Customs. Someone else does a reply-all "oh yeah that guy has been helpful to us in the past, let's see what we can do for him" - thus revealing past involvement in a classified matter. Boom, that first email is actually now classified - despite the fact that it itself contains no sensitive information - because someone could look at that conversation and discern from the fact that it suddenly became classified that this obviously somehow had to do with a classified matter.

The standards for handling classified materials are extremely strict and there's lots of ways to end up with classified materials in unclassified places that don't rise to the standard of gross negligence. The people involved are public figures whose job title straddles classified and unclassified spheres, they can't be locked inside a SCIF indefinitely, and reasonableness has to be viewed in that light.
> then she's committed perjury?

Not just perjury. It's also destruction of evidence and conspiracy. Using the servers "for privacy" means anything that should be covered by FOIA but isn't available was destroyed intentionally. AFAIK the investigation didn't even touch FOIA liability.

> What are your reasons for believing that she used a server for reasons of privacy?

When they discussed moving her into the state system, she said explicitly that she didn't want the personal emails to become accessible:

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/hillary-clinton-person...

So we have her on record saying (at the time) that she didn't want to risk any personal messages becoming exposed. She has every right to her personal privacy, but prioritizing that over "retaining all documents covered under FOIA" is both an abrogation of duty and an affront to transparency.

On top of that, setting up a private email server is a huge amount of work. She could very easily have simply forwarded work messages to her personal account. She didn't do that, and she's well known for having a strong desire for privacy.

I'm not saying "this is a slam dunk case and anyone who disagrees is clearly unreasonable." I'm saying there are perfectly valid reasons for believing that she committed perjury to avoid being charged with destruction of evidence and violating the FOIA.

Like a lot of 21-year-olds, javascript has gotten big and strong, but its brain hasn't finished developing yet. It hasn't figured out what it wants to do with its life. It engages in binge drinking a little more than is healthy. It's sowing its wild oats. Didn't we all when we were 21 (or didn't we wish we did)? It has 3000 Facebook friends. Last year it had a best friend, but now it's hanging out with someone else and doesn't even talk to that other one any more. It's kind of preoccupied with being cool and popular. Young adults can be very self-conscious and anxiety-ridden. Constantly checking its status on social media ("OMG, I wonder what I look like on iOS 10?") probably isn't helping things. Still, it's really smart and helpful and has a lot of talent. Give it time. Cut it some slack. It will find its way, make something of itself, and make you proud. You'll see.

Mine is "The Internet With A Human Face", by Maciej Cegłowski
http://idlewords.com/talks/internet_with_a_human_face.htm

It's what I direct non-technical people to when they ask what the big deal about internet privacy is.
The first two photos given are from el born and poblenou, which is out of the famous neighborhood l'exiample. Only l'exaimple is famous with their blocks. El born is a part of the historical center of Barcelona but now pedestrian area while poblenou was the industrial area before 1992 olympic games.

If you are looking for an example in Barcelona, it should only be l'eixample, which is one of architectural and engineering successes of 20th century.

And many times a very big fact is overseen: Barcelona is a village comparing to other big cities of the world. It is famous, popular, a great touristic destination in the summer but in the winter it is a village. A small city where people has normal, calm life. You can't compare it to any metropolitan city.
"Traditional news organizations" do this all the time.

Take the recently leaked audio of John Kerry speaking to Syrian opposition: [1]

And the New York Times, CNN, etc coverage of it: [2]

The New York Times, which shared the most of any news organization (only a couple minutes total) made a number of serious edits:

- They include Kerry espousing the principles of Democracy, but not the fact that he was trying to convince the opposition (which does not want an election, including one overseen by the US) that they might want to have an election.

- The New York Times completely avoids publishing Kerry say that the reason that Russia intervened in Syria was because if they hadn't Daesh was likely to take over the government; and that the US had been hoping to use the ISIS threat as leverage to negotiate American support within the Syrian government.

- The New York Times edited out Kerry's admission that much of the Syrian opposition have allied themselves with "Nusra and Daesh": al Qaeda.

- The clips of Kerry describing how a US invasion of Syria would be completely illegal, whereas Russia was legally invited by the government of Syria got dropped

Etc.

Or, if you're looking for something bigger than proxy war, remember the US coverage of the Snowden Documents? Their censorship of it for a decade as documents before Snowden Docs came out? The fact that most of the media organizations tried to report to Federal authorities than take the story originally? That the major networks towed the official line (even using it's language like "bulk collection") and repeated US denials of specific program elements even with published documents completely contrary to their coverage? Do you remember how the media tried to make the story about "Hero or Zero?" and "Merkle and Obama are having an argument" rather than cover the content of the documents, including the NSA's relationship to mass propaganda programmes, government hacking to benefit private US citizens and industries, and efforts to influence overseas elections?

The traditional media verifiably alters and spins documents, records and stories.

The speculation that "Guccifer 2.0" has done the same thing is just that - speculation.
