I think this is overdone and does not help the intuition. two things: (1). the first step of transposing the second matrix 90 degree is unnecessary and confusing. A row vector and a column vector are different. This step confuses the two. (2). All the final elements are independent and should be calculated in parallel, the stepped anime is not necessary and does not reveal this basic fact.

Facebook is already deciding what you see, that's a fundamental part of their business model. An editorial board deciding which stories get promoted is nothing different from what they already do.

The more fundamental problem is that Facebook makes it far easier and more profitable to run a cheap website stuffed with completely made-up stories than an actual newspaper, because it is much easier to catch people's attention with an outrageous fake headline than with boring real news.
There's a more specific example of this - in the Netherlands for years before 1939 they had a wide ranging census and an excellent civil service. On that census was an option for religion.

The Nazi's took the census records and then used the excellent civil service to deport the overwhelming majority of Jews to the camps. The Netherlands had some of the lowest rates of survival of Jews amongst occupied territories. The Nazi's knew who they were, and where to find them.

Who knows what piece of information could be used to hound you to your death, years after you divulge it?

From your source:
"The opponents of high-frequency trading feel that whatever liquidity HFT creates is superficial because the securities are held for a very brief period (seconds or fractions of a second) before being sold back again into the market. Most of the time, securities are bought and sold very frequently between high-frequency traders until they are bought by an investor. Opponents say there is thus no ultimate creation of liquidity but a mere facilitation for order execution.

HFT results in what is called hot potato volume. Positions are being ping-ponged between high-frequency traders and the other marketmakers. Thus there is the creation of great volume and no concurrent depth. For orders to be absorbed, buyers must hold their positions for a longer time than just a few seconds.”

And then merely counters that with a argumentum ad populum:

"With more than a decade in existence, high-frequency trading is now more or less an accepted part of the stock markets. There is a consensus that, on average, HFT has added liquidity to the markets and reduced trading costs."

The evidence appears rather weak for that position.
That's what I had in mind when I said "boxes with multiple modems in them".
I don't know what your exact definitions is of "cheap", "millimeter-level", and "every few hours", but your comment does sound a bit misinformed.

What you are possibly referring to is called dimensional control in geomatics and civil engineering, and there are various measurement techniques that can be applied, including GNSS-based.

In a way, the hardest part of it is the planning phase, where you have to decide which technique is most appropriate to meet precision, accuracy, timeliness, and cost constraints. All those factors kind of fight against each other. Finding the sweet spot is non-trivial.
This is awesome. I was just reading the waveNet paper and wondering how would go about a DIY approach...

Maintain a fork that no one will use? Sure. Or just turn off analytics.
Even if they effectively delete /r/golang or close it while retaining control so others can't use it, the users will just create another one. I doubt it will have a large impact on the future of golang on Reddit, it will just get rid of years of discussion and make it slightly more difficult to use. You don't want to use Reddit? Cool, don't. There are still millions who do want to use it and some might use that to find information on golang.

Yes，my initial unconscious reaction is I don't like the idea to be watched but then again if I really think about it, actually I don't have real reason to be against it. Having to keep secret, maintain privacy to me its a burden, significant amount of work, inconvenience. So yes, as long as you are not distrurbing or trying to harm me, I would not mind if you are watching me, If possible I prefer to not have secret.
D has a forum that is also a mailing list and it is far superior to Google Groups. It's also probably the fastest site on the web I've ever seen.

Honestly, zed kinda shot himself in the foot with his latest post. He was especially wrong when he said it was not turing complete. Plus, python2 is going the way of COBOL as its only getting LTS level support and no major updates.
Is variable assignment in c/java/... unreliable? It behaves very similar to what C* does. Concurrent access and modification will produce undefined behaviour if you don't explicitly protect it.
To be fair, a lot of it is fake news. So much crap is "reported" about China that a lot of often exaggerated and spun in a certain way.

So I can definitely see why the Chinese government wants to protect itself.

I think Chomsky's "Manufacturing Consent" should be required watching to understand how real news can be spun to be positive or negative, e.g. 1 in 10 people die from this drug vs. 90% of people are saved with this medicine.

That's what China is trying to protect itself against.
Proof? Safari has 3rd party cookies disabled by default and I don't hear any complaints.

Likewise. Sure, I'd like to work for Google.

But I also make good money Not working for Google, and getting non-google jobs is a simple matter of picking up the phone and calling one of a handful of recruiters I know.

I guess I'll never know if Google think I'm talented, and I'll never know what I'm missing not working there. I can live with that!
Weren't they (Golang core team) only recently considering removing golang from StackOverflow like they own the thing?

It seems like a pattern of trying to enforce the unenforceable.
I was the one who proposed deleting /r/golang.

Google Groups is not my preferred alternative by any means. Google Groups is a 1990's webmail interface to crappy but federated SMTP.

There is very little to like about it, but at least the underlying protocol (SMTP) is federated.

It is NOT an alternative to Reddit, which has a nice UI & voting system.

It's unfortunate that Reddit is not a reliable platform which can be trusted.

If Github were modifying our code for their own amusement we wouldn't trust them for a platform either.
For example, on my phone, it just prompted me for a gmail login to read the thread, with no obvious way around the login.
Succinctly, I mean that the only route forward now is VPNs, crypto, and educating the gen-pop properly. We are too far down this road to stop it without breaking society wholesale.

The title here and the title of article - completely different.
As I have stated elsewhere, the Go community is split into two factions, elites (Googlers) and others. Reddit is the only place where others and elites are treated the same, post for feedback on the google group, which has sucky UI and is terrible to use, and you get small comments because they are busy and the feedback isn't at all helpful. Contrast that with Reddit, as someone had pointed to me on HN, I posted a question about AJAX and Go, I got two answers, one in vanilla JS and one in JQuery. Had I asked that in the google groups, I'd likely have not been able to post because it would have been "too simple" or I'd have been shooed away to some obscure stack overflow link.
The community wants the subreddit, you can leave if you want. Just because one person screwed up doesn't mean that someone who rarely uses reddit wants to delete the subreddit WITHOUT asking the community. This is against the point of open source. Isn't Go open source?
Actually, it doesn't.

Amazon is now at 50% of sales being third party listings.

Aside from the review mess, the quality level of the 3rd party listing themselves, customer service, shipping speed, and products...is really hurting them. And, of course, separately, the issue of counterfeit products.

My non-techie friends are taking notice.

Amazon really needs to deep dive into this before they hurt their brand in a way that's hard to recover.
Surely it should be for Google to suggest and the community to decide?

Question for staltz - are you happy with the cycle code at https://github.com/staltz/matrixmultiplication.xyz/ ? It feels like a lot of work for this sort of task which I feel could have been achieved by using an existing (mutable) matrix lib and drawing ad-hoc. It feels like an awful lot of code written - especially with all the `.something === "SOME_STRING_CONSTANT"` (couldn't those be typed directly in TS btw?).

Still, you're a smart guy - I'm trying to see why it's worth it. Do you really feel model-view-intent shines here?

Comments on any given internet forum are of no specific importance or authority, which is part of the lesson. This "question" is a non-event. Sheesh.
I was the one who proposed deleting /r/golang.

That's not the point.

I don't think we should demand less of Reddit.

My proposal is no longer to delete it, but to just disassociate ourselves from it, making it unofficial like it used to be.
I some how doubt that thinkwiki is on a shared hosting.

They are using the same nonsensical lists that some web gateways use, anything that is even remotely objectionable is blocked.
Lisp is built on OOP: all sorts of objects that have state and functions operating on it. For instance, an I/O stream, needed to do the "read" and "print" parts of REPL, is a stateful object.

Lisp is not only where functional programming originated, but also object-based programming leading to OOP. Lisp was the first language which had first-class objects: encapsulated identities operated upon by functions, and having a type.

For instance, an object of CONS type could only be accessed by the "getter" functions CAR and CDR which take a reference to the object, and by the "setters" RPLACA an RPLACD.

Meanwhile, the other higher level programming language in existence, Fortran, had just procedures acting on global variables.
This satellite produces archive data on a continuous basis. The entire point is that it is cheaper than sending someone with a GPS!

It looks like I have to run and administer my own server, and I don't see any support for uploading media or searching previous conversations.

The demo is pretty, though.
I'll admit that I was apparently ignorant on the topic and had a misunderstanding of the ideals of the alt-right. After reading for a while, I have come to a similar conclusion given the idea(l)s of NPI, Spencer, and so on.

As with anything label-related, it's hard to determine who wears what label for what reasons and what elements of the label are made up by outsiders attempting to discredit the wearers of the label. But it is currently difficult to come to a conclusion other than yours given the facts I've been able to find.

As a small aside, I still hold a small amount of hope given the history of inaccuracy in the media's portrayals of 4chan. Hopefully this is similarly overblown and hysterical...

I actually don't mind coding tests and whiteboard interviews, as I take the former as a challenge and I tend to do decently on the latter.

My issue with G interview process is how long it takes. Last time I was looking to change job (I was soon to be a father and wanted something more stable), I did a round of interviewing for a few companies. All did a phone interview and quickly followed up with an on site interview. In less than a week I had a few nice offers.

In the same time frame G came back, after the phone interview, with an offer to come to the office for the first of a few rounds of interviews. Although I was interested, I had to decline as I couldn't really justify the time, and instead took one of the other offers, which is a shame as I have quite a few ex-colleagues working there and I would love to join them.
It is not just about the UI, UI sucks but the feedback they give on google groups is terrible. Reddit community is so amazing that once I was having doubts about AJAX, within ten minutes, I had two answers, one with plain JS AJAX and another with jquery. If I had been asking on google group, which I have done only once when they replied back so horribly that I stopped using it, they'd have directed me to some obscure link on the Internet and asked me to chase it down.

Reddit isn't stackoverflow. This is an open source community, if someone has a problem with it, they are welcome to leave, make /r/golang as an unofficial subreddit, which it was, when it started and before the robotic overlords took over the subreddit.
The hidden war over grocery shelf space
I don't see the "simulation" argument as anything else than a "god of the gaps" substitution at this point.

The "creator's creator" may be "irrelevant" at the first layer, but again, it just begs the question. Let's say we discover that we are in a simulation. Now we have to ask who made the simulation (our creator(s)), and we're right back where we started from again.

It's just another layer over the exact same question.

Just wanted to also throw out there that the mods' technique was to sticky a post for everyone to see and upvote. The Admins told them that abusing stickies in such a fashion (frequently, and without good reason) was considered a form of (up)voter manipulation.
This seems super useful for most speech recognition - understanding context.

It doesn't seem like the mainstream engines (Alexa, Google Voice, Siri) are context aware. Why not?
A well funded, well staffed project looks very different than an under staffed, under funded one. They have to make harder decisions about what work to prioritize. I think what Mike is saying just emphasizes why they made this choice. What little work is able to be put into homebrew needs to be as targeted and helpful as possible. Analytics help then do that.

So to answer your question, the status of the project and his personal affairs have a huge impact on design decisions.
They have been vocal in the past about disliking the subreddit, I think this is just their opportunity.

Edit: disregard this. I remember reading some things a while ago and haven't looked into it, and I shouldn't have jumped in without doing some due diligence.

The CEO edited comments critical of him.

Did that happen in the golang subreddit?

If so, those comments should in fact be deleted entirely. Criticizing the CEO of Reddit is not topical in a golang subreddit; it is off-topic trolling.
I think our expectation of idealism from companies is to broad. I mean, it's great if companies take idealistic stances. But ultimately, I'm not even sure that it's FB's place to promote democratic ideals.

Freedom of expression, association, conscience & press are political freedoms at the centre of liberal-democratic ideologies and governing systems. China is not a liberal democracy, in theory or practice. There are treaties which define these freedoms as "human rights" but I think China is a nonsignator to them.

I do believe these freedoms should be protected for everyone. But in calling for them in non-democracies, one is pretty much calling for revolution. It's reasonable for us as individual democrats (or adherents to other ideologies which believe in these freedoms) to call for these rights to be honoured in china. It's kind of wierd expecting Facebook to.

The actual lib-dem regimes (US, EU, Japan etc.) are not refusing to do business in China until they honour these freedoms.

TLDR: Expecting FB to champion the cause of liberal democratic reform in China is too much to expect.
Canada also announced this same goal:

Why do they use Google groups anymore? The UI sucks, it is heavily moderated. Reddit is like democracy where the elites of the community are treated equally with the others. Even the author's comments can be collapsed. name one place on the internet where this happens, except reddit.

A knee jerk reaction, we want the subreddit back!

p.s. after the Google Pixel thing, I do hope that they don't shut my google account down because I am saying that google groups sucks by citing some hidden rule or something.
I don't think it's a coincidence that Facebook is building censorship tools at the same time they are talking about "fake news". It seems that the tooling to deal with both of these "problems" has a lot of overlap and could potentially be the same.

I lived in China for almost a decade during its economic rise, and many predicted an opening and democratization of China. But it always seemed to me that the US was becoming more like China rather than the other way around, and so far I haven't been disappointed.

I wonder how dramatic this really is? There must be a hundred forums to discuss go, people aren't so helpless they can't find their way off of reddit.
The reason the drone and surveillance programs didn't take a large part in election propaganda this past year is that violating individuals' rights has bipartisan support.

I was the one who proposed deleting /r/golang. It is not some official Go or Google position.

As much as I used to love Reddit and was addicted to it, my personal position is that Reddit is no longer a trustworthy platform (if it ever was).

Editing user content is beyond offensive. I never even considered such a thing in my years of running LiveJournal. That is a major violation of user trust and trust in the platform.

If Github or Gerrit or Google Groups or Google's SMTP servers were modifying our code or mailing list content, we would ditch them in a heartbeat.

We shouldn't demand less from Reddit.

But because I learned that /r/golang existed 7 years ago (before I or other Googlers were even involved with it), I no longer propose deleting it. But I think the Go project should disassociate from it and give it back to the community as an unofficial space, as it used to be.

It's just too unreliable of a platform to be official in any regard.

Now I'm brainstorming how one might build a federated Reddit with public, signed mutation log, ala CT or other chains. And then multiple UIs could render the same public & federated data set.
The problem is not knowing what to hide. Will I be investigated for visiting stackexchange websites? Will I be deported for using google docs? Where is the blurry line which separates police state from common sense?
