An important difference, at least for me, is that in school you still lead a very sheltered life with few worries. Once you're done with homework you're actually free for the rest of the day and can pursue leisure activities without the nagging feeling that you should instead do this or that. Being free is the default mode and working is a special state. At some point in live this seems to flip around.
I frequently go home realizing I haven't talked for 8 hours. Even as an introverted person, it kind of annoys me.

How will this help Twitter turn a profit?
Right, so this mentions ibuprofen explicitly, and it talks about cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitors too. I still don't get what your complaint about TIME's title is?

Did you think they should've mentioned celecoxib? That's much less known drug. Mentioning ibuprofen means it's more likely to reach the audience that should care about the study.

Why does the alt-right have issues with them being banned from systems, but don't see issues with themselves banning others from systems.

For example, Twitter bans them from using Twitter, but the /r/The_Donald echo chamber bans anyone with a counter view to their own.

If you want freedom to speak on certain platforms, you need to provide the same rights to everyone.

HARM is typically used to engage a SAM site's radar, not the SAMs themselves. Intercepting a missile is a bit harder than nailing a stationary emitter. Plus, many SAMs use IR sensors, so if you don't detect the launch signature, it's hard to take defensive actions. DIRCM, laser based dazzlers etc can help, but not if you don't detect the launch.

Sorry, if this is off-topic, you hit a nerve.

The absolute antibehavior of what you descrcribe I've recently experienced with Air Asia.

A few month ago they started to spam me with a newsletter I never requested. Last time I flew them was in the beginning of 2015 and I never subscribed for their crap.

The unsubscribe link on the mail does not work and after a significant amount of digging I found a way to unsubscribe by sending mail to unsubscribe@fly.airasia.com.

Only that mail to this address is never delivered.

In essence there seems to be no way to unsubscribe from their list.

I mention that because it's infuriating that "reputable" companies think they can spam away with gusto without even the possibility to unsubscribe from their shit.

Here's a hint for you Air Asia: You are not reputable! You are on the same level as pushers of fake knock-off Viagra, purveyors of fake shlock Rolexes, and Nigerian scammers! And you will never, ever get an additional cent from me.

Scum!
The warning label on every bottle of ibuprofen specifically says to not take it on an empty stomach for exactly that reason. What was she expecting?
I'm not sure I agree with this. I think I'd rather have people with extreme opinions talking in the public where they are subject to counter arguments than somewhere less public where their message goes unchallenged.
the wikipedia page says:
" Tests show that simple ECC solutions, providing single-error correction and double-error detection (SECDED) capabilities, are not able to correct or detect all observed disturbance errors because some of them include more than two flipped bits per memory word."

http://serverfault.com/questions/674214/what-is-the-rowhamme...
adds
"ECC effectively turns the Row Hammer exploit into a DOS attack. 1bit errors will be corrected by ECC, and as soon as a non-correctable 2bit error is detected the system will halt (assuming SECDED ECC)."
Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences, and Twitter is free to do as they like with their platform.
I think you're vastly overestimating the knowledge of end users. Been working on the IT side of things for the better part of fifteen years. Majority of people clueless, including our entire engineering department. That's why IT exists.
Well for instance, I was trying to find out what "itadakimasu" says (which many Japanese persons say before eating food prepared for them). Its almost impossible to get a literal translation from anybody (including Google Translate, which says Let's Eat).

Looks good, but comparing to other systems like this one but for React, it looks it's relying on plain HTML structure to compose layouts vs. using components system to generate and encapsulate HTML. From what I know Angular 2 supports components so I wonder why is this not leveraged here?
That's a good story, I didn't get much feedback from users at the time. Nice to hear to what people were doing. And yes, my megahal got 'trained' as well.
I have seen bad code in my life. Some cases developers don't care about the code ethics OR they are not intelligent/experienced enough to write a good code.

But in many cases its the mistake of product managers or leads. When the product goals/specs are not clear, the design changes very often and you have to meet the tight deadlines. This leads to redundant and inefficient code which is very difficult to clean up and maintain.
Both true, but I think my point is clear?

Specifically, this isn't about manual bidding, it's about manual review, and I trust the SO people to keep out likely malware candidates about as much as I trust any site.

And yes, there are ad networks that haven't served Can't is a word I might reserve for text ads, but there are other automated networks that haven't at least.

But I can't imagine its confusing why I might prefer manual review (malware policy: "Oh god, we missed it, never again") to automated distribution (malware policy: "Thanks for letting us know, we'll take that one piece of malware down in the next day or so.")
That requires logic and critical thinking though.
This reminds me of that old discussion between Linus and ESR where the ESR tries really hard and has a lot of really good arguments but Linux doesn't care because he is right.

The thread was on HN last year, I think the title was something about Linus being to smart for his own good or something similar.

The fact the BOD of Twitter has been trying to sell the company for the last few months and the response from potential buyers has been negative (specifically, the user base being untamed and just a mess) means these moves are just part a larger attempt to sanitize the company. The fact people call this some sort of Great Purge or whatever is a joke. Do you really think you're the only ones that're going to be either banned or heavily filtered from the larger public user base? I'll put good money on the next move the Twitter devs do is set all accounts who flag themselves as adult/pornographic content as non-public or at least shadowbanned to non-following users. Why? Because porn may sell but it doesn't sell like Starbucks. So, don't think this some sort of mere hissy fit by SV liberals who lost the election. This is purely driven by the need to make good on investments. And the sooner the alt-right and "non-normie" kids realize that the better they'll be off (i.e. hosting their own damn sites and quit expecting everyone to subsidize them on their platforms).

Think of Bugs Bunny. He looks nothing like a real rabbit, yet humans recognise him as a rabbit (presumably) because we look at the characteristics that separate him from a normal human, then compare those characteristics with our list of things with those characteristics (long ears, big feat, eats carrots) and get a rabbit.
If he'd been made to look like a rabbit-octopus hybrid instead of rabbit-human, we may have struggled more.

Computers don't look at things from a human perspective; they're still good at abstraction, just different to human abstraction. i.e. there's a human bias in there.

That's OK though; the objective is to make a computer that sees things the way people do; so it's a bias we want.

However the issue isn't that the computer's not a sentient being and therefore can't abstract things it's never seen before; only that the algorithm hasn't been written to sufficiently take account of human bias.
Now you should apologize for putting words in my mouth, as well as for wording your post poorly.

That was largely caused by the fact that Trump had been attacked consistently for over a year and Pence was comparatively unknown.

Also most people pushing it just wanted Trump to drop out. There was no way for Pence to win after a mid campaign candidate switch.
I wonder if mobile phones have been responsible for more deaths or more lives saved over the past 10 years, and how you could attempt to calculate it.
Its extremely ironic that the group claiming to "champion the fight against the social justice warrior and their safe spaces" does pretty much the exact same thing as what they say they hate.
I can only see this as furthering the echo chamber that caused many to be so blindsided by Trumps victory.

I would like to see specifically why these people were suspended. If they're engaged in harassment obviously the suspension should hold up. If it really is just mass reporting for political speech (I've had friends msging 'targets' for reporting purely for them admitting to voting for Trump), I can only see it as a bad trend.

These people don't go away just because you ban them from your favourite sites. They just disappear from your own view, and go away to a more insular community, more of an echo chamber, where they become more radical.
Next time, MSM can honestly claim they didn't see it coming.
Not arguing with you, but first thing in the way of opening up hardware, is vendor's liability. It is very hard to communicate to a customer who had just spent money on a big run of boards, only to discover uncorrectable flaws in the SoC, that "we actually imply no warranty and no fitness for any purpose". If this liability question could somehow be solved, the remaining progress on opening up would be made much faster.
This isn't the limitation of free speech, this is a private company telling one of its users that they aren't welcome due to their behavior. It's like if you were at a store and started soapboxing about <insert alt right conspiracy bullshit here> loudly right in front of the register, the manager of the store is 100% allowed to ask you to leave. Freedom of speech means your speech isn't illegal, not that you will suffer no consequences for it.

ETA: some people made some comments below this that made me want to clarify a few things:

1) Twitter being publicly traded does not automatically make them beholden to every person on Earth, especially in matters of free speech. They're still allowed governing their platform in whatever way they see fit.

2) a better analogy might be a comedy club on open mic nigh.t. If you get up on stage and start making racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. Jokes the club owner has every right to throw you out. Yes, it's a public forum, but limiting your use of what is ultimately a private (i.e. not government owned) establishment does not constitute a violation of your rights unless it can be proven that you were denied access due to your membership in a protected class, or based on your gender, etc. Free speech doesn't protect you from (peaceful and appropriate) backlash.

This is one of the reasons some industries create professional associations or trade unions. It is hard to argue against pressure from your boss, so when ethics issues start to become common, you need a reasonably reliable way to apply opposing pressure.

A professional association with a code of ethics offers a standard excuse that you swore an oath against e.g. knowingly creating software that is designed to be fraudulent.

Alternatively, a minimal trade union that was chartered to only address ethics problems can create an incentive (under threat of collective action by the union) to not even ask for anything unethical. I know that it's popular to have a low opinion of unions, but it's important to remember that they are just a tool. If all you need is pressure against unethical requests, that should only need a tiny, mostly hands-off union.

> all it takes is the next dev to come along and say yes

Sure, but that's at least it wouldn't be your ethical problem anymore. Even if a more willing replacement is found, that takes at least some time and resources, and it sends a clear message that some behavior isn't appropriate. If you don't send that message, you're just conditioning the responsible people to do more ask for more unethical things it the future.

> I don't want regulation and lobbyists pushing their tech onto me as a solution.

If regulation could work well as a solution to a specific type of problem, it might be a good idea to get there first. Get to the politicians before the lobbyists carrying cash, a clear and brief explanation of the problem, and your proposed regulation.

However, this may not be a useful approach in some situations. I think some sort of collective organization is usually a better approach, but it's worth at least considering the regulatory approach.
I read your comment both and after reading the article. Before, it seemed like a reasonable issue to raise. After, it seems like you either didn't read the article or just responded to a completely unrelated fantasy of your own making.

> This is actually an excellent illustration of how organizational incentives seep into data.

For that claim to be anything other than bullshit, you would need to show that they actually have seeped in. Instead, what you showed is a creative hypothesis about how that might happen, supported by no evidence, and with a glaring hole.

The glaring hole in your hypothesis is that there is intense skepticism of climate change and the incentive structure you imagine simply doesn't exist.

What you've written is a nice way to cast doubt on the data, which is a bit unfortunate given where the science and the politics actually stand.
You have little power to stop it, but you can choose not to be part of it so you don't have it on your conscience.
I'm very interested in this topic. Do you have concrete evidence of contrary voices being silenced by administration in /r/The_Donald?

It may bear some consideration that this particular sub-reddit is itself silenced by having its stories removed from the front page by algorithm, which to me represents as great a sin or greater.

I think the appropriate comparison to "Twitter" would be "Reddit", not specifically the /r/The_Donald subreddit.

If they started banning your Reddit account for being a communist, I imagine a lot of people - including "The Donald" - would be angry.
While I agree with your statement, I think it's important to protect the concept of free speech in many places and to disrespect companies who don't.

Twitter has failed to do so here and is showing a blatant political statement (unless there were specific cases of harassment with these people or something, in which case I may be overstepping).

I think generally views like this are better left in the spotlight of the public where they can be properly argued with and not dragged into private forums and facebook feeds where it's much harder for people to see a wider response to them. Banning them is harmful to people who are getting a casual interest in their ideas and start reading up on it. When the only place they can do that is Breitbart or similar, how do you think that'll go?
This is a valid question methinks. I am not sure of the distribution of regular HN readers that identify with the so-called "alt-right" movement, but suffice to say millions of Americans do.
Apples and oranges. /r/The_Donald is a subreddit niche specifically for supporters for Trump, it is standard for a niche subreddit with a specific goal to ban users which attempt to hinder that goal from happening. Hillary-subreddit does the same.
I agree and disagree - on the one hand I prefer to have them out in the open so its easier to understand the kind of misinformation that is being spread, but unfortunately it seems like a large number of people (well, everyone to some extent but some people have more trouble it seems) separating fake information from more-or-less true information.

My guess is that by them having this platform, they can easily reach those who are primed for believing what they read. If people weighted the most informed responses equally to the tweets themselves that would be one thing, but my guess is that is not the case.

I'm not a computer hardware guy, but even I figured out how to add more RAM and a new hard disk to my old Macbook Pro.

That said, I added it last year to my late-2008 Macbook Pro so that I could keep using it for simple stuff at home like browsing HN and watching YouTube.

At work, my professional machines get replaced every few years, so I've never had to monkey with the insides. They're capital assets, and once the depreciation is fully taken, there's no point in holding onto them. We sell them and get new ones.

So the question is, what does it mean to be a "professional" developer?
Yeah, probably you're right. And it's not like it would stop the really determined guys - X-Raying stuff would do a part of the trick, and maybe stealing the documentation would the other part.
Hmm. Big guns "that can be worked around with the correct doctrine" and unnamed "developed countermeasures to things like mortars and counterbattery fire and whatnot" and the assumption that the military loses its entire support system all at once. I think you believe in an organizational capacity that doesn't actually exist in untrained civiliian populations (or are personally part of a militia whose training is sufficient to back up your words). Thanks for your thoughts!
I agree that if is hypocritical however clearly the scale is substantially different. Subreddits are typically echochambers especially small niche non-defaults.

Twitter is a platform. Your analogy would be more akin to Reddit banning a subreddit-- which happens. I personally disagree with platforms like google, reddit & twtr editoralizing & policing things like ideology & expression. I certainly lean more libertarian here, but actions like this certainly are a slippery slope. It appears like favoritism in a benevolent view and censorship in a more hard line stance
Although Twitter obviously has the right to do this, legally, I don't think it is good.

Twitter is esentially a public infrastructure for real-time communication. We have public officials from countries all over the world that use Twitter to communicate to their citizens.

For that (and similar) reasons, I would strongly prefer if Twitter didn't go around policing what types of political opions are okay and aren't. Even if you really hate the people that Twitter bans, imagine if things were the other way around, and they started banning very liberal users.
It's possible that he believes that global warming is a real phenomenon but that our treaties with the rest of the world place us at a major disadvantage.

Do Twitter and /r/The_Donald have equivalent mission statements, though? I don't think Twitter aspires to be a meeting point for extreme political views.
