How about we let the drama stay in the drama subreddits, and in the non-drama subreddits we act like adults.

For fuck's sake, not everything in life has to be a cause.
Jesus cough Jesus
The background is that we have some official spaces and some unofficial spaces.

I thought our subreddit was an official space that we created. It turns out we didn't create it, so it's not ours to delete.

I'm now proposing we just make it unofficial.
If you know Zuckerbergs history it's pretty apparent he was never a white knight of any description, he's talented but there is a lot of right place/right time as well.

Still that doesn't feed the narrative beast so we conveniently forget that.

You see the same with other tech CEO's all the time, I rather like Larry Ellison for that reason, he rarely pretends to be anything he isn't.
The point of privacy is for the times when you need it. You should defend that right even in the times you don't feel you need it.

For example, in the US, most people are not afraid to share their political beliefs. This is because, in the US, it isn't common to be harmed or even killed for your beliefs. This is not true in every country or even for every part of the US. So being able to keep your political views a secret is important. In a world where this is not possible it can quickly become dangerous to hold the "wrong beliefs" publicly.

Do you believe you only uphold the "right beliefs"? And if so - are you 100% certain those beliefs will never turn into the "wrong beliefs" to have? If you answer "no" to either question then privacy should be important to you.
"Hillary Clinton is involved in the death of an FBI agent", or "The Dalai Lama joined Putin in blaming Obama and Clinton for ISIS", or "The Pope endorsed Donald Trump" aren't "unpopular facts surrounded by biased opinions". They're fake news.

That is the difference between "fakenews" and "biased" or "sensationalized" news. There is no number of paragraphs you can write that will make the difference between those two concepts any less stark.
In 1984 , everything was recorded but some of the high members were able to stop it for sometime, looks like capitalist oligarchy has many things in common with the Party.They don't want for them what they ask for others and they think they deserve it
In the US, at least, butchers won't give you meat without wrapping it up in paper or plastic. Where do you live that they will just hand you a chunk of meat?
You cannot in fact improve the overview you get of current events by consuming outright fabrications, which is what we're discussing in this story.

This is why I'm a big fan of Axler's Linear Algebra Done Right. The book's emphasis is on the concepts behind the calculations rather than the calculations.

I actually disagree with Axler on his avoidance of the determinant, though. I wish instead of avoiding it he'd spent more time developing it conceptually, as it's actually a fascinating construction. But to this day I have yet to find a gentler and better introduction to serious linear algebra than his book.

He recommends it as a second course, but I read it during my first course in the subject and considered it my "secret weapon". I truly believe that book is what allowed me to get a perfect score in the class -- I had a conceptual understanding that was just not possible to glean from the official course textbook.
That means memristors are used to store neural network weights, and a signal passing through a memristor would be effectively multiplied (scaled) by the weight value.
People shouldn't make false promises about industries that are not (and should not) come back. My point is that there is a huge incentive to do so, and Trump doing it isn't some dramatic change from what's come before.
Eh. Let's see how this goes.

Profession A has a mean salary 20% higher than that of Profession B.

Yet people who are in profession A are much more likely to be in poverty than in profession B.

Yet almost any time someone compares two means, they never seem to come to this conclusion - or even consider it a possibility.

Comparing two means without other details is rarely illuminating, and often leads to wrong conclusions (which are worse than no conclusions with no data).
That is necessary but not sufficient. The design is wrong.
Do you have evidence for this other than the fact that major news outlets are reporting on fakenews?

Fun to see the rivalry between Stripe and Square play out. This line though has me a little puzzled, however:

>"On the flip side, Square is more diversified, generating revenue from non-payment products such as its Square Capital lending business and Caviar restaurant-delivery operation."

Isn't Caviar widely known for being a massive money-loser for Square?

I had almost a completely identical experience. Ordered, waited a month and nothing.

Went to look at the seller's reviews .. and they were all 1/5 negative saying the product was never delivered. The A-Z guarantee got me my money back but I wasn't impressed the seller was allowed to continue doing this for so long.

After I complained, the seller appeared to have all their items removed from Amazon.

As an aside, you can generally trust the FBA items from 3rd party sellers.
Yah there is that. In the US, it is usually mandated that you get something called "title insurance". There are different levels depending who it protects (lender vs buyer). If down the line it turns out you don't own the land your house is on, the title insurance company does lawsuit magic or somehow pays to make the lender whole.

End up costing ?? $1,000 or so per real estate transaction. 99.9999% of the time pays back zero. I suppose nice to have for the last .0001%.

Why is killing the application desirable behaviour over just denying the request?
Exactly. Didn't make it far through that thread, but what is the proposed alternative?
It's a bizarre, kneejerk reaction by a few people that ultimately may harm an entire language still in its formative years.
Since the trend is toward dropping cable in favor of Netflix, et al., already, I doubt they need positive publicity by way of cutting into their revenues because of the poor decisions of a few local legislators. Especially when it would be cheaper to lobby, stir up consumer unrest, and possibly oust those legislators.

No, it's a reason why "clean coal" doesn't fully address the environmental problems of coal. Perhaps you'd prefer the (unassailable) term "cleaner coal".
Codes don't mean squat if the inspector doesn't or won't catch violations on the closeout.
> It is completely normal and accepted for various agencies to make rules within the confines of the laws that have empowered them. It is in fact necessary considering how complex our society is. Congress cannot possibly control everything.

You are ignoring the obvious possibilities of letting local or state government legislate those things, or simply not legislating them.
They? I've never seen the other moderators or myself disliking Reddit before.

This is my opinion alone.
Will VR Change Home Cinema as We Know It?
How I would explain it:

- First, show how to multiply a row vector by a column vector.

- Then, show how to "simultaneously" multiply several row vectors by a single column vector by placing the row vectors in a matrix.

- Now, similarly, do the same with the column vector. And voila, matrix by matrix multiplication.
Eeeexcellent. It'll be a cold day in hell before a Microsoft operating system darkens my network, especially the likes of Windows 10.

Since the author is using cgi:

>However, this is definitely something in the crosshairs of ksql(3): forking a process, like kcgi(3) does, that handles the database I/O and communicates with the master over pipes.

If they do this, then they can just use seccomp SECCOMP_SET_MODE_STRICT, which is the first thing described in the seccomp man page and in the Wikipedia page. And is also the original/first mode of seccomp to be available.

I believe capsicum would likewise be trivial to use: You can just immediately lock things down completely. (Perhaps just cap_enter() is sufficient?)
> There is a huge difference between fakenews, like the "Denver Guardian" fake newspaper site that ran stories about HRC being involved in the death of FBI agents in order to rack up tens of thousands of dollars from impressions, and sensationalized news.

I'm really surprised this even has to be spelled out, TBH. IT goes to a point where I feel people are intentionally obfuscating the issue.
If you look at history, propaganda is more often used to justify war than to prevent it.
The system has also the web history of the judge, so he'll probably comply.
Exactly.

Getting access to things like concurrent locks is HARD to get right. That is why there are so many simple languages that don't let you touch concurrency.

Doesn't mean there is no need for it in the world, and no one should be able to use it.
Statisticians are either Frequentists, or Bayesianists. Fundamental to both of these approaches is the involvement of probability. A technique that does not have a probabilistic interpretation is not a statistical technique. This is also largely related to the difference in goals between statistics and machine learning: statistics is primarily about inference, and machine learning is primarily about prediction. You can predict without necessarily making any meaningful probabilistic statements about data. There's not really much to infer without saying something probabilistic.
As a self-identified member of the libertarian right I absolutely agree. I get into this debate with so-called Conservatives frequently: smaller government and less regulation means marriage equality (at the state level,) the dismantling of the DEA (leaving it to states to make their own rules,) and the elimination of the Dept. of Education (leaving that to states as well,) among many other things. It also calls for overturning Roe v. Wade (but not for the reasons the social-right wants but because it's really a 10th Amendment issue.)

By the way before I get downvoted for my views, I am merely pointing out that actual conservatism is a position of Federalism rather than a position on a particular agendas of certain groups.

That means a government should be closer to the people it obsensibly represents and decision should be made at the lowest level until such time as it affects a higher level. For example, if California wants to legalize heroin, that's for California to decide -- it has no practical effect on people in Louisiana.

The problem with many social conservatives is that they are intellectually inconsistent -- you can't call for government to enforce what 'you' want but then call for smaller government when it comes to what 'they' want.

It's a question of the scope of government and at what level government ought to be acting -- it really isn't about specific issues but the bigger question of "Is this the role of the Federal government."

Displacement like this seems like not such a big deal, especially when worded as it is in this article. You see "...several CM of displacement per year..." and you immediately are lead to believe that this displacement is equal over the entire footprint of the structure. That is usually not the case.

Instead, you end up with differential displacement over the entire footprint of the building. Some areas will sink 1cm, while others will sink 3cm. This "imposed displacement" puts the foundation under constant force, causing some tremendous force to be placed on the structure itself, as the foundation is now behaving as a beam of sorts.
My grandfather remembers 'clean coal' being pushed in Scotland 70 years ago. Basically they washed the coal with vast amounts of water. Then at night they pumped the very dirty water into local streams.
I remember Zuck's chat screenshots from many years ago where he called his collegemats as "dumb fucks" because they "trust me"
I disagree. By seeing the propaganda from both sides, you get an insight into who has which goals. The only things you miss out on are the things they all want to hide and the only things you get wrong are the things they all lie on in the same way. It's like cross-examination in a courtroom.
I would expect Google to reject that proposal flat out. They are incredibly keen on process and in this case the process feeds into one of their core ideas, namely that hiring the very best is crucial. Unless you are a major figure within the industry, they'll insist you do it their way, full stop.
Yes, in our case we did MITM to display ads for a "free burger" app containing malware. The app was hosted on Google Play.

And, you're right. Once we have access to the phone we can probably do a lot worse than just stealing a car.

When it comes to banking apps, they often have mitigations which would require a lot more targeted effort.

Are you sure you're not thinking of T-1 (24 B channels) rather than ISDN which was most typically 1 or 2 B channels?

[edit]

ISDN is a catch-all term tat included BRI (2 B channels) and T-1 (24 B channels) and E-1 (30 B channels) so the parent comment is correct.

It becomes a finer line when you have the Washington Post reporting (more accurately reporting an "expert" claim) that hillary Clinton may have been poisoned on 9/11 by Putin.
In a little more detail:

Look at the animation in the article, after the second matrix has been rotated and put on top of the first one. Then flip its top up so the two matrices are orthogonal. Finally, rotate the whole thing 90 degrees to the left (rotating along the axis that goes from the top of the page to the bottom of the page). Now you can see that the result will be a 2x3 matrix. And the values in each spot will be the sum of the products beneath it.

Yes, I'm well aware of the difference between web farms and news for profit. However, the former paved the way for the latter, and in my mind is guilty for the 'problem' they created.
I fail to understand why hierarchical environments pose a problem for HOAS. Environments map variables to their values, and they're used to give meaning to non-closed terms (containing variables that aren't bound within the term itself).

The whole point to HOAS is making unbound variables irrepresentable in the first place (which is the source of the accidental variable capture problem), eliminating the need for environments as separate data structures. For example, this is the HOAS representation of closed terms of the untyped lambda calculus:

datatype term = Lam of term -> term
| App of term * term

Note there is no need for a separate constructor for free variables.

Funny coincidence, I'm tweaking performance of manually managed contiguous memory using structs and refs as I'm writing this reply (the application is a combinatorial optimization system). There's nothing in ReSharper that currently suggests me to replace structs and refs with something else, or that I need indirections into my SoAs and AoSs.

But yeah, static analysis can yield false positives if you use for example reflection (one more reason to avoid it in most cases), but there's an option to turn a specific message off for particular line, class, etc. You can also edit ReSharper suggestions per solution basis, so if there are some special requirements, they can be incorporated into its behavior.

If by "Monad situation" you mean trying to learn a concept by just reading a single blog post then sure.
Trying to learn something by scattered blog posts without engaging in material is a bad idea no matter what the problem is.
For some reason nobody expects to read a blog post and understand the fundamental theorem of calculus without first learning intuition and doing calculations with derivatives and integrals.
On the other hand, if you have been working through a concept and you read a blog post that gives a different perspective than you're used to, it might help.

If you want to actually learn something, then get something like a book or series of posts and work through examples and explore the ideas yourself.
But having more than one intuition is useful and complaining about the fact that there is more than one way to understand something is lazy.

There is essentially zero complaining about the FAA's quasi-legislative power. All of the regulatory agencies have quasi-legislative, executive, judicial activity. This is not new. If conservatives don't like what the FCC or FAA are doing, its about businesses complaining to them directly. It has nothing to do with conservative ideology being reluctant with the nature of regulatory agencies.

The FAA regulates kites. So of course they can regulate drones, personal or commercial.
Except unless most of those users are like his wife, they'll already be familiar with the standard colour wheel. And so if his works differently, they'll be annoyed by it, because goddamnit people we have standard widgets for a reason. And then by pandering to the few, you annoy the many.

Of course, if he can find an unobtrusive tweak (as it seems he did) which maintains the standard behaviour while eliminating a failure mode, then good on him and it deserves to become part of the standard.
