"How can you say that some people have less rights because they earn more?"

It's not that they have 'less rights' - it's that the expectations of the job are different. You're a CEO, you're going to have to 'work a ton of hours' for your massive paycheque, it just goes with the job. You don't want it - stay VP or Director, or manager.

CEO's, doctors etc. are not commodities.

For hourly unskilled workers, 'labour' etc - there always have to be protections. Without them - we head back to 19th century oppression.

I understand that's it's nuanced, and I agree that 'some salary' is a really, really crude way to define it ... but something needs to be there, or else you get 1/3 of Americans working 80 hours a week for de-facto $4/hour.

Make no mistake - the 'free market wage' for 1/3 of Americans who's skills are commoditized, but who nevertheless to 'valuable work' is basically 1% above 'survival'. Well below poverty. You could argue the 'free market' decides how much value they actually provide, but I would argue that the rate is entirely a function of relative power disparity between the two parties (employee v. big corp) and nothing more. It's why 'minimum wage' laws exist in most places. 'Free markets' work when actors have agency, and some power ... when actors don't have some degree of power-parity, 99% of the surpluses go into the hands of one side of the equation.
The fact you think that patronizing crap about the first person is real moderation is pretty telling.
This is utterly offensive and this man is utterly corrupt. He claims to be doing this to discredit his foes, but there's no evidence that he's done any of the "public denouncing" which he gives as his justification for polluting the public sphere with his lies. He does however admit to coining it to the tune of six figures.

If we've learned anything from the twentieth century its that corrupting the public discourse like this can lead to the slaughter of millions and the downfall of whole societies. This man and those like him deserve harsh punishment.

There's a similar interview here, with another left-winger who claims to be making "satire" and is more outwardly racked with guilt than this man, but who is also still cashing the adsense checks:

Is administrators editing users' posts as a norm of the internet something you would be comfortable with? Are spez's actions acceptable in a vacuum, or should they be a norm of internet moderation in your eyes?
Precisely this. CEOs should have the right to remove vile content from their website. I don't see how this is such a revelatory or unprecedented move - doesn't this capacity to modify content exist on virtually all digital platforms?
Do you write code ?
Reddit has the infrastructure for censorship, they have had to remove content before.
This is going to sound hard to believe, but...

...based on zero evidence, a bunch of alt-right types decided that a pizza shop in Washington was somehow the center of some sort of bizarre satanic pedophilia cult/ring/thing, and that further that Clinton was somehow involved.

It evolved into some sort of weird meme/circlejerk/echo chamber/witchhunt/circus, centered around /r/pizzagate, complete with doxxing, stalking, physical protesters outside the shop, trending twitter hashtags, all sorts of madness

Unsurprisingly, the sub was banned. And if you choose to ban a sub focused around uncovering (I can't believe I'm writing this) Clinton's pedophile sex ring, then obviously this is because you yourself are a pedophile (and probably a Clinton supporter, which is probably worse). Why else would you help coverup Clinton's satanic pedophile sex cult?

(If you're curious, the original spark behind all this is Wikileak's release of John Podesta's emails. In them he mentioned eating pizza there. Which is clearly code for child abuse, and Podesta is sort of close to Clinton, so Podesta eating pizza is literally Clinton abusing children. No, I'm not making this up, and yes, that's the sum total of the evidence behind this. Literally, the whole thing is based on the supposition that it's so unlikely that Podesta likes pizza that it must be a codeword for child abuse, because obviously child abuse is much more understandable than liking pizza, or something.)

The method I described doesn't require you to use a S3 static website. We don't have that option enabled, so the bucket name isn't mysite.com, it's "mysite-html", and the S3 website hosting is not enabled.

CloudFront has its own IAM user that is permitted to access the contents of the bucket, which means that it has to use the API. I don't think it's even possible to access the S3 API without using HTTPS. Therefore I think it is highly unlikely that the connection is unencrypted.

This is psychological gamesmanship. I punch you, you punch back, I win. I punch you, you don't punch back, I win. The only way for me to lose is if you punch back with such force that I can't punch again. Open and inclusive only works when there is an underlying good will or mutual benefit.
You are confusing yourself and everybody else. The 10A your outlet provides is at 120 volts. The lithium battery in your phone is a little under 4 volts, so multiply all your numbers by 30.

Also. An Anker USB charger can do 2.4 amps max per port, at 5V, not 0.9A. I don't believe any modern smart phone only accepts .9A. But a USB-C port can negotiate a higher voltage too. That's how you have 40W USB-C chargers powering laptops a year ago, and higher now. The new MacBook is pulling 87W over USB-C.
While you are right, you can approach security from graded risk perspective. eg non-validated user input on an internet facing interface is going to be a greater risk than a buffer overflow bug in cron (for example). So when hardening your systems the first thing you do is limit the amount of access the outside world has to your OS and application and ansure that all components that do access the outside world are up-to-date (curl is one of those libraries which would communicate to the outside world). So firewalling, OS updates, decent bit lenghs on your encryption keys, etc. Then you ensure all your applications are sandboxed so even if they are exploited the scope of data they can do is limited.

But as you said, a sufficiently competent and determined hacker will likely find a way into many a "secure" system. But if you can limit the code that is exposed to the internet then you at least limit the amount of code that can be exploited (or rather force an attacker to use more than one attack in conjunction to gain system access). However if an attacker has physical access to your system then I'd just give up now as you've already lost.
I wouldn't put it above Zuckerberg himself to do it.

http://www.theweek.co.uk/facebook/14625/are-users-dumb-fucks...

From that article:

During the conversation, Zuckerberg writes: "Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard, just ask. I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS."

When the friend asks him how he got the information, Zuckerberg replies: "People just submitted it. I don't know why. They 'trust me'. Dumb fucks."
I only saw a photo of him, I assumed he was young, I guessed wrong.

That said - I think youth and experience has everything to do with errors in judgement. It's why most CEO's are a lot older than the interns :)

I can see myself making that mistake at 24. Easily. And any one of my younger staff doing the same thing.

Yes, getting rid of the hate and the stupid is something the owners of the site (and the content creators) want. It gives them a horrible reputation (and can impact business, as Twitter discovered). But that is still their userbase, and getting rid of the userbase drastically decreases their value.

So it is a balancing act. And the trump subreddit would be a disaster to remove as everyone would REALLY get on them for being "too political"

I have 2 raspi one with haproxy, one with nginx with 3 vhost. Haproxy was because I've planned to have several raspi to loadbalance traffic across.

One take away: after Jekyll or Hugo finished static page generation I've a bash script to gzip every file to avoid raspbi to make it at the fly, and nginx setup for that is : gzip_static on;

On my DSL router I forward all port:80/tcp traffic to my haproxy raspi.

That has literally nothing to do with the question. Considering whether an action is acceptable only in an instance, or universally, is an extremely basic way of determining if it is morally correct. Do you think spez's actions can or should be made a norm?

>How long did the routine take in real time?
The first three quarters of the video, from the beginning of the song until I pick up the umbrella at the a cappella breakdown, unfold over 4.2 seconds of real time. Then I lip sync in real time for about 16 seconds (we thought it was important to have a moment of human contact at this point in the song, so we returned to the realm of human experience) and we return to slow motion for the final chorus paint scene, which took a little longer than 3 seconds in real time.
I don't think OP meant that this is the Failure=Scottish/Success=British terminology thing (which I'm not convinced exists), but more that the UK media will use this as a way to peddle their "Broken Britain" message. ARM's sale was seen in people like us in tech as just another huge acquisition, but the UK media portrayed it as evidence that the UK is "losing" and that something needs to be done about it.
Both advices have merit, however it entirely depends on the context.

The perceived sincerity of apology delivered to someone who is receptive to an apology can indeed be diminished by accompanying it with an excuse.

On the other hand, an apology delivered to someone who is categorically unreceptive to any apology can only be entirely futile. Since there is nothing to gain yet possibly something to lose, the rational course of action would be to not apologize.

Edit: since the latter example seems to be the controversial one, here is a popular scenario in which a significant number of individuals can always be characterized as being "categorically unreceptive to an apology": partisan politics.
Dude, read your internet history. We don't have a bunch of incompatible protocols tied to different vendors (That was how things were developing) because the DoD of the US said that anything that was to be sold to them HAD to use this TCP/IP thingy.

That's not the same as "enforced regulation", but it certainly walks and cuaks like it. No direct government intervention -> No freely interconnected internet.
Sorry I said that aggressively. I'm tired of low signal startup advice that does not address real-world complexity and it got the better of me.

What would have been fascinating, practical and not have raised my doubts would be if you compared the metrics and institutions you used to raise your seed compared to what you are using for your Series A.

What shall be the "correlation vs. causation" error here? I mean, if you draw an analog here, it would mean that Chinese people could get children of any race but those would still pair up. The birds do not know which type they are but still pair up with the different morph, so its something intrinsic inherited from the genotype that influences the sexual phenotype.

Where can I read more about this kernel-level sandboxing that's discussed towards the end?

Additionally: as I understand things, the methodology behind asm.js could (in principle) be applied to any JIT-ed language. Is the choice of doing this in JS only because JS is the language of browsers (i.e.: kernel-level sandboxing can easily use existing browser sandboxing code) or are there other technical considerations behind this decision?
I think wealth inequality matters, but not only from a moral standpoint:

From wikipedia on Trickle-down economics:

> A 2015 report by the International Monetary Fund argues that there is no trickle-down effect as the rich get richer:

>> [I]f the income share of the top 20 percent (the rich) increases, then GDP growth actually declines over the medium term, suggesting that the benefits do not trickle down. In contrast, an increase in the income share of the bottom 20 percent (the poor) is associated with higher GDP growth.[19]
Completely agree. The first issue in the report is about reading lines from a file. Those kinds of bugs can and should be eliminated for good.
You will be told it's just fake news. Move along, nothing to see. As to calling spez that, I suppose it's just the angry response at the r/pizzagate subreddit being removed.
Huh. Color me surprised. A social media website with a shit-for-brains business model has a CEO who, well, isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Look reddit was never a source of real truth. It likes to think it is because every teenager and lonely 50-something wants to feel important.

Fine. Whatever. There isn't a big story here. The Lord of the Flies wanked off on Piggy's dead body.

Anyone who expected otherwise is probably daft enough to reheat pizza in the oven instead of in a skillet with no oil because that's what makes the bottom so crispy and the top so melty.

In other words, you're all mostly heathens and idiots about this.

If you want control of your content, host it yourself. Not on someone else's dime. Especially not an idiotic dime like reddit's that calls dimes gold.

Do I think this is a huge and massive breach of trust for reddit users? Yes. Yes I do.

Do I think it matters and that the people who are surprised by this basically have shit for brains?

Yes. Yes I do.

Does this actually matter?

No. It's just one more social media thing that will go away because the leadership fucked it up. That's all.

Our work is done here. We don't need to do this anymore.
FWIW I like the moderation. It's made me think before hitting [reply], and I try a little bit harder to avoid the obvious shit-show threads now.

About titles: I see you get complaints about titles. I'm not sure if people understand how often commentors will respond to the title. I've submitted articles and seen that people haven't read the article but have responded directly to the title.

But also, it's pretty hard for submitters to understand what to change about a title. And the desire to provide a descriptive title is strong, and there are no reminders when submitting about not doing that.

That'd work fine for HTTP(S) data, I suspect the data capture would have to be done at the IP level by default, with per-protocol filters on top to capture additional data. Which is going to add complexity to the data capture equipment, plus an ongoing maintenance cost to keep on top of new/updated protocols.

I can't see the current government accepting the possibility that the Internet Bad Guys(tm) could just use a different protocol and avoid all logging.
Like I said in the other comment, nothing to see.

Scotland tried to introduce minimum unit pricing for alcohol. This would have raised the price of alcohol, but most of the price rise would have gone to the manufacturer. (Although the duties on alcohol would have stayed the same, so higher prices means more duties.)

The minimum pricing would have been set at about 40p per unit. This would not have affected most drinks. It would have targeted the low end of the market - the 3 litre bottles of industrial cider, the 500ml cans of very strong lager.

The Scottish Whisky Association opposed, and continues to oppose this, and took it through the courts. http://news.gov.scot/news/minimum-unit-pricing-1

> Health Secretary Shona Robison [said] “I think the SWA may want to consider that minimum unit pricing was passed with the overwhelming support of the Parliament, has been tested in Europe, and has now been approved twice in the Scottish courts.

> “We remain committed to ongoing dialogue with the alcohol industry. Should the SWA drop their appeal, and accept that the time has now come to implement this measure that will save lives, they could expect very strong support from across Scotland.

The UK has a public health concept of "measure of alcohol". This is confusing - most people don't know how many units they drink in a serving, or per week. Especially because units were introduced when wine was commonly 8% ABV. It's much stronger now. 8% ABV is marketed as lower alcohol; 12% ABV is common; 14% ABV isn't rare. Also, serving sizes have increased for glasses of wine. 125 ml of wine at 8% is 1 unit. Very few places sell 125 ml servings, or 8% ABV wine.

1 unit is 10 ml of pure alcohol. The calculation is size of serving (in litres) * percentage ABV. A 0.75 litre bottle of wine at 12% ABV is 9 units of alcohol. A one litre bottle of spirits at 40% ABV is 40 units.

So, under a 40p minimum unit pricing system that bottle of wine would cost £4.50, and that bottle of spirits would cost £16. That might sound expensive when converted to your local currency, but the UK has high duties on alcohol and prices are high anyway.
I'm missing the point.
On the more corporate end of the market in Edinburgh there is a definite shortage of tech talent. Pay isn't at American levels but Edinburgh is the best city in the UK in terms of average disposable income - an average £800 per month compared to London's £300. Job security is also pretty rock solid. It's also a World Heritage site, has pretty good transport links to the rest of Europe and you can easily spend weekends in the country/Highlands.

It's not London but then a developer up here should have no problem owning a house, raising a family and having a decent quality of life. All while working a 35 hour week so you actually have time to enjoy living here.

It almost sounds as if you believe that silencing these fake news will stop people from believing fake news. I don't think so.

Also, slaughtering millions in the 20th century was usually the job of a big government in a big country and I have difficulty recalling that "fake news believers" or any kind of people actually voted for a war or went on the streets in favor of a war.

And practically always before and during these wars the governments regularly shouted "fake news" on everything that didn't fit their narrative.
Ah I see, my apologies, I assumed Googling those keywords would be sufficient to connect the dots.

The main thing that I wanted to convey is that the consequences of CLT does not come for free. It is not remotely as widely applicable as it is made out to be. CLT is also not so narrow that you need IID random variables as is often claimed. Those assumptions can be relaxed substantially. What gets in the way in obtaining a Gaussian distribution in the limit is the requirement that the original distribution(s) have a finite variance. The (averaging) process may still converge to some limiting distribution but it would not be a Gaussian one. Levy measures, more precisely stable measures are that class and Gaussian is but one member of that class, the only one that has finite variance. It is slowly getting acknowledged that many natural processes in fact do not have a finite variance. Fractals are one such process
