And the same thing from the other side is trivially easy to find too. Your comment implied that Twitter looks the other way, but only for liberals, and that claim is laughable at best and it's a trivial task to find counter-evidence.

Besides, the first three pages of that search have zero tweets that involve someone telling someone else to kill themselves. They're all mock conversations, or memes, or literally a discussion of the fact that the punishment for attempted suicide is death. Or people encouraging others to call suicide hotlines, or a joke about killing yourself to get insurance money. I'm literally looking for a threatening tweet in that search and can't find one.
This 360 video of a ULA rocket launch is really good.

When reading this, I wanted to check the x-heights of letters, as they seemed proportionally shorter than for example Roboto.

Ended up not checking, but coming across an article by Google on typography in general, part of their Material Design. https://material.google.com/style/typography.html#typography...
Yea! Except for providing seamless global payments, distributed credit provisioning, fraud protection, rewards, travel benefits, purchase insurance, what have credit cards ever done for the economy?!
No, there's no way for me to determine that within a scope of this application. You can essentially see that already via search analytics on YouTube for your videos, but you have to do some digging.
My understanding is that there are also algos at work, for example posts that are very young but have many comments fall faster, as a way to negate flame wars.

Wow, that's amazing for the ways the people interviewed will talk about gambling (especially the different ways that they resist Theroux's efforts to get them to talk about the expected outcome of a gambling session, think about how much money they're losing, or identify a point at which they would stop).
I would be more worried about a DNS provider or a registrar with terms about the kinds of speech allowed.
Looks like the time has come for Twitter to choose to be either a community or a platform. Really either is fine for a business to be but the choice does need to be made decisively.

Freedom of speech runs headlong into freedom of association.
more improvements that allows more concise code and that looks functional in nature. Which is great, I have to do a lot in C# and really like it as a OO / with functional abilities type language.

But I keep wondering why F# doesn't really take off given a lot of peoples fascination with the functional world. It does functional nicely while still being able to bridge back to the OO world which allows you to easily leverage a LARGE amount of libraries in the .net world. It has a really good community, and F# specific frameworks for various things as well. It's like a hidden gem that people pass over as they look at functional languages with much much smaller ecosystems.
Maybe, and in some cases you're likely right. In others, might it not be people who consider themselves right (and not extreme) but no longer feel the Republicans (the traditional right) truly represent them?

As an aside, there are likely plenty of people on the left that feel similarly.

You seem to have completely missed the argument of the linked article. (Also, saying that something "isn't about X" doesn't magically make it not about X.)

You also seem to be mixing up what "is" with what "ought to be". Feel free to read more about this common fallacy here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Is%E2%80%93ought_problem
> The decision to confront the CEO personally was his own, he could've chosen the anonymous path all along.

It's worth pointing out that Shultz seemed to have acted in good faith initially, and apparently didn't think anonymity was justified:

> Mr. Shultz says he took his concerns directly to Ms. Holmes. When they met in early 2014, she encouraged him to talk to Daniel Young, a Theranos vice president in charge of biostatistics.

He seemed to have acted with optimistic intentions for Theranos. It was only later that he sent a more scathing email, after which he waited for a few days, got the arrogant reply from the Theranos president, and then quit.

Given all of the professional and personal reasons he had to hope the best for Theranos, he had plenty of excuses to just let things go with a it's-above-my-paygrade mentality. Because it was, on paper, above his paygrade, and his boss and coworkers have the prestigious degrees and engineering experience to argue that Tyler is just mistaken.

It's not easy in a cult-like company to call out shit even as/after the shit hits the fan. But it seems rarer to be the frog that jumps out of the warm water, when all the other frogs feel fine and are also threatening to sue the fuck out of you if you do jump.
Because it's extra, unnecessary cruft. May as well throw in generics as well, and inheritance and may as well develop your own OS for go while you're at it.

As you can tell I think this is just a silly waste of time for a compiler. Non native applications are near universally ugly and poorly designed and adding a custom font is just another slap in the face.
Twitter has a huge harassment problem. This has serious implications for their business; as we saw the other week, Disney passed on acquiring them in part because of the harassment situation. This seems like a good and necessary move to strengthen their business by making their platform a more tolerable place to visit.
I disagree. I think there is most definitely a boundary between people with different opinions and people with opinions that are fundamentally at odds with living in a civilized society. "I don't like Goldman Sachs" is an opinion you can debate on its merits. "Kill all the Jew bankers" is not. The boundary is somewhere in between those two.

I can't speak to the particular accounts banned by Twitter, but the alt right have a carefully developed vocabulary designed explicitly to sneak across that boundary.
Some people would add: does it affect your relationships?
Am I to understand that suggesting Trump voters kill themselves is acceptable?

Why haven't the posters of every single one of the above tweets I linked been banned? Yet we're only hearing about the "alt right" boogeyman.
Rule Zero: Never rely on a URL that you don't control. Use your own domain name for your e-mail addresses. Use your own domain name for canonical links to content. If you control the URLs, you do not depend on any one provider.

Rule One: If you only have one copy, you have no copies. It is an act of faith to assume that a Youtube video or a file in Google Drive will remain available, just as it's an act of faith to assume that a hard drive will never fail. Anything from a hacker to a natural disaster could destroy your data. The "cloud" is made of servers, not magic.

If you follow these two rules, you have nothing to fear. Google could suspend my account tomorrow and it would be nothing more than an inconvenience. I change a couple of DNS records, restore some data from nearline and I'm back in business like nothing happened.
The 2^64 attack there is for 128-bit ECC, which is not hypothesis---it's a standard Pollard rho attack. That is, the entire purpose of rho is to find a "key collision" aP + bQ = cP + dQ, from which we can immediately derive the secret key.

The point there is that batching helps the attacker finding the first AES key by a factor of m, m being the number of keys being attacked, but it doesn't really help finding the first ECC key---although it does help with the cost of finding the second, third, etc a bit. So for example, the effective multi-key security of AES-128, given 2^32 different keys (read: sessions), is 2^96.

See for example [1] for a formalization of multi-key security in the symmetric encryption setting.

That something appears "true" to the person speaking it has no bearing on the validity of the it.

And no, not every person's opinion about everything deserves respect, and not every person deserves respect. Respect is earned, not given. We respect the opinions of doctors (about medicine) because they have dedicated a significant portion if their waking lives to the pursuit of medicine. We do not respect the opinions of people (about women's rights) who believe the rape of women is justified by the clothes they wear. This is not a matter of a missed memo, not a matter misprocessed information.

We respect people who share our values.

Let's not mistake understanding someone for respect. There is some information that is not difficult to process.
>Am I to understand that suggesting Trump voters kill themselves is acceptable?

I have no idea how you would've come to that conclusion, I certainly don't think it and didn't imply it.

Is this really the game we're playing? Really? I have to go find three tweets of Trump supporters telling HRC supporters to kill themselves? Do you really think that can't be trivially found?
Scala is more OO than F# or even C#, in that it has very advanced OO features that are not seen in other OO languages. OO in F# is more about interop.

It so strange as an American expat living under a military dictatorship where any improper speech is harshly dealt with to see American slowly but steadily moving in the same direction. What's weird is it's starting with restrictions on speech in the private sector and education. I'm wondering how long before laws and the courts get behind the restrictions.
> Sure, but not everyone enjoys spending their time engaging with Nazi rhetoric. There are plenty of places outside of Twitter where you can actually choose whether or not to have a discussion.

You could say the exact same thing about literally any view and it would be equally true.
Are the banned "alt-right" commentators commensurate with ISIS propagandists? If so, how much else ought to be banned? Black power groups? Anti-fascist groups? Many "social justice" accounts post anti-white, anti-male messages with impunity. Should we then paint all people concerned with social justice with the same brush?
There are other socially liberal issues outside of gay rights and drugs. On some of those counts Gavin is very very conservative (for example he is very very sexist).

False equivalences are fun. :-)

But the people who did this have nothing to do with the compiler.
This is a very forgiving point of view.

Institutional racism is real and because of that it can't be undone by just pretending everyone is equal all of the sudden. It is much more nuanced than you make it out to be.

That being said, many of the people that twitter banned are just straight up racist and xenophoic/intolerant speech should not be protected.

You're right. Forgot about those when I initially commented, and noticed a sibling had already mentioned them so I thought it was gratuitous to update mine.

5-6, actually.

Go ahead, I'll wait. Yes, I really think you can't find that, unless we're getting different search results for some reason. I'm not doing some cherry picking of the results here, these are literally the first tweets I can find where "kill yourself" is directed at a person or group and not obviously humorous.

That last one came up in the search while I had the search open, even.

I stand by my original statement and believe I've proven it.

Instead of doing productive work themselves? That's what it looks like to me.
It's voluntary and free. If you don't like it build your own or go elsewhere. It is their community. Clearly they have made their choice over the cost/benefit of continued association with some people.
I'd imagine at least part of Twitter's rationale for doing this was to make users contrast their proactivity with Facebook's stalling on labeling or removing fake news. Twitter looks more on top of things as a result.

I love how they claim she is somehow a victim... yet underplay the fact that the tests didn't pass scrutiny and do not respond to any accusations that the company was peddling near-future sci fi snake oil that the Walgreens suit basically straight up says happened.

As much as I hate to make this comparison, this is the same response the Hillary camp is making about her loss earlier this month: "oh well, it's hard for a woman to break the glass ceiling, and everyone is hating on her because of her gender."

No, for both of them, their gender means shit. They had an equal chance to succeed, instead corruption and greed won out and clouded their judgement. They both lied, they both got punishment for their actions, with further punishment still on the table.
The U.K. really restricts ibuprofen this way? In the U.S. I think these restrictions have been applied only to methamphetamine precursors (pseudoephedrine and maybe others), while opiates have been made prescription-only.
Eclipse is — or was, I haven't used it since 2006 — also great. Instead of using the horribleness that is Swing, they wrote their own toolkit, SWT, which uses native UI controls, and it's the only Java app I've ever used that had a native look and feel. (They did a lot of custom rendering, of course, but it was still able to feel native.)
Black Lives Matter means Black Lives Matter as well.

The All Lives Matter movement, as a reaction to BLM, is essentially saying that they don't, and that the racial struggles of American Blacks are irrelevant.

That is the reason why All Lives Matter is considered abusive.

As a student a long time ago I worked with a friend on a 2-d version of this problem for a client who had a framing store. He was trying to cut mirrors of certain sizes in large sheets while minimizing the waste.

The approach we used was to start with a greedy best-first approach (like what is done by the Python library the author is using), and then try to improve on it by exploring the space of neighboring solutions. A "neighbor" here can be created by a pairwise permutation of candies (or mirrors in our case) in the order in which you're trying to fit them in the box, or trying to fit the candy flat instead of upright, etc.

You can do a hill-climb, which means you keep going as long as you can find a better neighbor, or you can use simulated annealing, which accepts a degradation in the solution (to avoid getting stuck in a local optimum) with a certain probability. This probability decreases over time so that you can eventually converge to a solution. Simulated annealing will work better than hill-climb, but its stochastic nature means two runs of the program might give you two different solutions (our client thought that was a bug!).
The alphabet sample image has problems too. The space after uppercase G is plentiful compared to the space after uppercase V. Granted VX is not a common letter combination but still this shows some bad kerning nonetheless.

Also I find the hyphen surprisingly wide (in the proportional version). In fact so wide that I keep thinking it's an en–dash and it reduces my reading speed: my brain has to slow down and mentally correct it to hyphen.
But they have the F# and Haskell teams, who are nearby, to talk to. In particular, F# seems to have had a great influence lately.
so we shouldn't build a society of tolerance then, that way we don't have to debate nazism for eternity. i can't imagine a greater waste of time than talking at length with neo-nazis.

It will be fun to see private emails poping up in the search when someone is sitting there with you while you do your search who should not have access to those emails.
that would be of the same form, but not equally true. there are actual differences between the substance of things beyond logical form.
That would apply only if you were switching on a variable and not a more general expression. Scala does the same thing, I think.
Alt-right people came up with the name for themselves, it wasn't a term others created to label them.

It's not. The intersection constraints are not convex. You could use sequential convex programming to find a local optimum.

edit: to back up my claim: the feasible set of a convex optimization problem must be convex. suppose you have two squares of side length 1 at positions x1 and x2. The following two solutions are feasible:

x1a = (-2, 0), x2a = ( 2, 0)
x1b = ( 2, 0), x2b = (-2, 0)

but their midpoint is not:

x1c = (x1a + x1b)/2 = (0, 0)
x2c = (x2a + x2b)/2 = (0, 0)

therefore the feasible set is not convex.
"Against the status quo"? Do you know who Steve Bannon is and what post he is going to take in the white house? Come on.

Nazis didn't start deciding to post on Twitter because liberals were reading an insufficient amount of Nazi propaganda.
I don't think it was a case of abandoning equality, as much as it was about defering 'colorblindness' until there is actual equality. However, the people on the left espousing these ideas seem to have forgotten to tell everyone about this, and assumed the rest of society would figure out what they meant. They haven't, and I think that's where a lot of the problem is for them.
The only "they" are compromised VCs and those who were sucked in and don't want to admit they were fooled. It's a mistake to class a sociopathic criminal with a poorly run political campaign.
> The All Lives Matter movement, as a reaction to BLM, is essentially saying that they don't

That's not what "all" means. It's turning the name of the movement by implying it means "only" Black Lives Matter. So All Lives Matter is saying that not only Black Lives Matter.
Hmm, as long as you don't always use the big cube as the baseline, that works.
The alt-right feeds off this. They want to be called racist, xenophobic, etc., because they believe that society has applied these terms too aggressively to folks who weren't actually racist or xenophobic ("the boy who called wolf"). There's a lot of anger stemming from that, which leads to behavior that's hard to understand for many people. They're not trolls, but there is an element of trolling in what they do.
Coincidence that many of the Rust promoters have red hair?

> I think there is most definitely a boundary between people with different opinions and people with opinions that are fundamentally at odds with living in a civilized society.

In this statement, you are unilaterally making a rule as to what ideals are OK to hold as part of "civilized society", and where the boundary is. Stating your society is more "civilized" than another is an opinion in and of itself, and arguably those who hold views opposite yours likely think your societal views also contain hints of barbarism or offend human nature.

There are multiple ethical views that humanity and even this culture have held throughout the past century alone that the predominant society has now decided are reprehensible, that other nations consider reprehensible, and then there are also views that have been considered reprehensible now widely accepted by this culture.

Personally, my beef is not with whether or not people agree or disagree with these views; the argument in this subthread is external to my original message:

I'm tired of the Valley's progressive ideology consistently espousing acceptance, free organization, and free speech when we as an industry keep taking steps that seem against it when we disagree with the information provided. It is the message of social media: people should be able to communicate and unite worldwide. If we aren't radically upholding this belief, then we need to change the mantra to be aligned to what it actually means: associate with us, our ideas, and our worldview, and we will give you a voice. If you don't, your voice on this platform will be stripped, even if you are not engaged in attacking those that disagree with you.
Huh, so it is!
