Evidence? This accusation sounds like more "fake" partisan news. In reality if there's a Twitter deletion policy it would apply also to all hashtags.

Also, evidence needed for "take over" as CTR messages would be labeled as such.
Yeah, a lot of the NYC ones are in Meatpacking which... is exactly the type of place that you'd Uber to dinner.

The key here is not so much the ".exe" suffix as that it's not "pwd". Think:

alias some-command='some-command.sh --arg'

and then running "some-command" versus "some-command.sh". (The Window's shell does interpret stuff with the ".exe" suffix differently, just it's not the key factor here.)

Well, doesn't fuel flow need to be increased before acceleration can begin? That causes latency, much more than software would.

No, because the engine in question is a common rail diesel engine, which means that the fuel is kept under a constant pressure of 2,200 atmospheres, ready to be injected into the cylinders. The only thing that has to happen is for the piezoelectric injectors to open. On a vehicle with a common rail diesel engine without firmware, where the logic is hardwired electronics in the ECU, and the throttle is connected with a cable as opposed to drive-by-wire, such a thing does not occur: zero latency, instant response.

As I owned both types of vehicles, I was in the unique position to observe and experiment. These are vehicles from completely different manufacturers, one German, one Japanese. The Japanese diesel has no issues or problems whatsoever. That's the one I kept.

Not a single stall since going back to a mechanical throttle. And also, I've learned on a manual and have been driving them daily for decades.

And for the record, I had two firmware updates on the drive-by-wire model, and they only helped marginally with throttle response, but never fixed the issue.
In general: lower wages, higher taxes.

"And the takeover of reddit's /r/politics by the Correct the Record PAC? This story is far bigger than a few twitter bots."

This is interesting. Can you expand on this? Is it that CTR was involved? It sounds like the source(s) of the Twitter bots won't likely be found. What's the reach of reddit's /r/politics in comparison to Twitter?

"It's hard to know anymore who is genuine and who is a paid sock puppet in certain forums."

Isn't that the truth! Same goes increasingly for sources in general.
I think you have to say more than this else it just amounts to a non-constructive partisan comment.

Wikileaks does zero curation. No human-being has the time to read everything they post, and there is still a problem of verifying the authenticity of sources.
A lot of what machine learning offers is beyond correlation and more about interaction between variables to get a result. So think multivariate analyses. If you can do a multivariate analysis to get to something that is statistically significant for a certain disease, then it would probably be worth checking out.

Think of it this way: machine learning is all about grabbing features from what we can normally say "duh its right there that's what is causing it." but in an automated manner. So how do we make the rules for it?

We need many, MANY, examples. If you can provide CONCRETE examples for each occurrence, then you MAY have a chance at giving it some sort of predictive capability.

The more important issue is HOW you plan to extract these features, the things that make you go "duh, that's whats causing it." So focus on this last part, and the rest will come easier.

For those who don't know, that is right out of the Russian propaganda talking points.

No one is saying that fake news/filter bubbles were the overriding factor in the election, merely that they were contributory.
Twitter has every right to support a candidate against another. After all it's only a private company, and its leaders were not coy about which candidate they want to help to win. If you want to support another candidate, use another platform.

> No, there is no responsibility whatsoever. Users are free to not use the service if they don't like it.

I own private property. It's true that I'm free to paint my house an obnoxious color and let it fall into ruin. It doesn't mean that I don't have a responsibility to my neighbors and community to provide upkeep to my house and ensure it's aesthetically pleasing.

Similarly, I believe social media and the media has a larger responsibility to our civic discourse even if they are a private company. Is that a legal obligation? No, but it's a moral obligation.

Usually a shareholder needs to own more than 25% of the shares to veto major decisions. For Volkswagen there is a special law lowering this requirement to 20%, which conveniently is the number of shares the state of Lower Saxony owns.

This law also requires a two-third majority in the board of directors (which is distinct from the executive board) to set-up or close down factories. Half of the members in the board of directors are (as in all large German companies) employee representatives, granting them a veto power for those decisions.
The "how" they make money and how they secure, anonymize and to whom they share it are all important considerations that are almost exclusively(there are exceptions) never divulged.
There were some Yahoo employees who implemented the firehose delivering their users' data to the government. Considering the general political climate in the US tech scene, I can't believe they thought they were doing something good. They either didn't think about it at all, or decided their job was more important to them.

Symbolics like this pledge might help with the former, because it raises the idea that software may have an ethical component.

For the latter: its kind of sad that these people at yahoo – being incredibly more employable than average – still couldn't muster the courage to say no. Could've done it quietly and found a job somewhere else. Could've done it publicly and be a hero (and probably still find a job – some companies out there would've wanted to support them, or use their hiring as marketing).
I can't speak to that. I've not looked at the output of Google Takeout. Also GmVault (for me at least) is 100% automated so I will at very worst lose 6hrs of email. Google Takeout is a manual process AFAIK.

> I will not develop software that is intended to violate human rights and civil liberties.

This one doesn't work especially in regards to cryptography. For example, if I develop the greatest end-to-end cryptography, I can almost guarantee this will be used by both good and bad actors. There's nothing I can do about that.

IMO, a manifesto like this should really be much closer to the hippocratic oath; which is to say that my responsibility belongs with the patient, disregarding personal feelings toward the patient. So for us, that should be to write code that does the best job that it can; b/c at the end of the day we can't control who uses it.

Currently powershell just shells out to cmd.exe to run normal command line apps And handle text streams anyway. How would that work?
I feel like I should point out that `Measure-Command {dir C:\}` is just aliasing gci.

PS> Measure-Command {Start-Process cmd -ArgumentList '/c dir c:\'}
TotalMilliseconds : 14.0138

PS> Measure-Command {gci C:\}
TotalMilliseconds : 10.7484

Second run on each of those went down to closer to 40% of each, yay caching.

Of course, the start-process is possibly taking up a chunk of time, there. With no measure-command for cmd, it makes it a little harder to gauge.
I love the 100% practical advice here. Words from someone that has a real appreciation of the fact that time is the most valuable resource and treats it accordingly

IP addresses have been ruled to be "personal identifying information" in Europe, which is why Googla analytics offers an option to anonymize the last set of digits.
For every person who thinks global warming isn't real (for some reason), there's someone who thinks we're all going to get killed by a giant global warming-induced tsunami like in that awful movie. Climate change is controversial, because people are making many claims without sufficient evidence (e.g. completely trusting some set of our current predictive models) or using it as a justification for political ends (like subsidizing electric cars).
> I'm somewhat curious if all those attempts count against my data cap.

I don't see why they wouldn't. IP (which is really the layer ISPs should operate at) does not distinguish between packets that you have "requested" and unsolicited packets, being connectionless protocol and all.

(disclaimer: i m not american). Well a visit to /r/politics at the time would convince you. Also note how /r/the_donald had like ~250.000 users while /r/hillaryclinton ~30.000 . So it seems most hillary supporters would deflect to /r/politics because they liked what they saw there.
Many years ago I created a social alarm clock idea which was panned and hated.. lol. Though at the time I had no tech skills and never released our prototype.

Personally being woken up to something funny, cute, meaningful from a friend or loved one was great. Though the challenge for this idea to work is you have to put restraints via audio volume levels to ensure a great experience (waking up laughing or with a smile or another positive emotion) happens on each use. Also know the likes of each user and what's happening in their life.

I still believe it's a great idea/new form of communication that if done correctly the masses would love, as when it wakes you up to something you connect with you smile and or laugh; changing your morning routine for the better! I wish Apple would allow a user the ability to wake up to a radio URL!!!
They were probably just putting enough of a roadblock into the process to stop 98% of people from copying or selling nonauthorized cards. Also the "encrypt/decrypt" needed to be fast on the hardware of the time so it would necessarily be something pretty simple.

> Why would climate change be a hoax? Who is making money off of a "climate change hoax"?

This is one thing I really don't understand as well. Ok, there's X amount of proof in favor of AGW. Where's the evidence for your claims it's all an elaborate, international hoax? Where's the money?

I've never gotten a good answer. Usually just deflections to how "the Earth always fluctuates" and other dismissive claims that have already been answered a thousand times had they bothered to actually research it.

It's witnessing confirmation bias.
Ava – Communicate Beyond Barriers
What is the difference between "couldn't justify" and "couldn't be bothered to show up"? Sounds like they just want to shift the blame to the candidates rather than themselves and their own inaction. If they genuinely think both candidates are equally fit, then not voting makes sense. If they genuinely think both candidates are equally unfit, then voting isn't enough, they have to become politically active to convince people to vote for a 3rd candidate. Merely voting for a 3rd candidate without creating ground swell is likewise almost always, 9 times out of 10, punished by the American political system.

Most likely if we had compulsory voting in this country, most of the plurality, who did not show up to vote, would not have voted for Trump. It may have been a scant amount, but very clearly the more eligible voters vote, it favors Democrat candidates.
Thank you for your advice, that's handy to know.

What's the database format it uses, sqlite3? (I tried looking on the repo but couldn't any obvious reference)
But these GPIO's are generally not sources of Vcc/Vdd. Without reading technical details about the actual chip, I always assume they are weak pullups to Vcc/Vdd, that are shunted to ground (Vee/Vss) when 0.

So, a 5v pullup on the 'memory chip' side would satisfy the memory chip's 'high' threshold, the zener would protect the 3v3 device, and its shorting to ground would be a legitimate 0.
There's plenty of mental stress working in a bakery.

You have a 100# mix of french bread, and it isn't rising properly. Will it continue to rise if you leave it in the proofer long enough, because the water it was mixed with was too cold? Maybe the guy doing the mix forgot the salt, or the yeast (because trust me, unless you're doing the mixes yourself, those things are going to happen).

If the mix will rise eventually, how long will it take? How are you going to change the schedule of the bakes so that the oven is at the right temperature and the bread is finished baking before the local restaurant comes to pick up their daily order?

If the mix is missing an ingredient, do you have time to make a new mix? Do you have room in the freezer for the dead dough, so you can save it to stretch out other mixes? Do you have anything delicate in the freezer that might melt when you dump a hundred pounds of warm dough into the same space?

If you're making a new mix, do you need to order more flour now, because you're using more than you expected? How is this going to impact the rest of the mix schedule?

Repeat that chain of thought for every kind of bread or pastry your bakery sells. It's exhausting as hell, mentally.
That's sorta of the point of resorts and cruises.
Ironically, that's a large part of the reason that I don't read social media often or read much on the daily news. I tend to read after the fact analysis that provides more perspective instead of breathless reporting.

I'm in one of those (inescapable) open-office nightmares right now. All day, every day, people are talking right next to me, making it impossible to concentrate. They're not even talking about work, they're talking about cars, or kids, or movies, or inane bullshit. I don't care that they're talking (and apparently management doesn't either, because since we're in a panopticon, if I know it, they know it too), but when they do it five feet away from me, I can't block it out or concentrate. I can concentrate well enough to write this post on Hacker News, but I can't concentrate well enough to put together a workable recommendation on centralized identity and access management. But I'll be asked for a recommendation on identity and access management anyway, because I'm expected to know every answer to every question off the top of my head instantaneously, even though I haven't been able to concentrate on anything effectively for the past ten years. Yeah, team work makes the dream work. BRB, going to set the building on fire.
Interesting (and see my other comments about the problems with breathless reporting), but do you have any evidence?
