Since their original article is paywalled and has been edited since, I can't find a direct quote calling him a nazi and I'm sure they didn't literally use those three words like that.

The oldest snapshot[0] on archive.org indicates the article's subheading as "Star with most subscribers posted videos in which he makes anti-Semitic jokes or content, testing media firm’s standards" which they later changed to "Move came after the Journal asked about videos in which he included anti-Semitic jokes or Nazi imagery".

The accompanying video[1] deliberately took a lot of sequences out of context and presented them as representative. Regardless of the validity of the Souther Poverty Law Center quotes[2] they deliberately suggest he is a nazi by association, especially by ending the video with the implication that The Daily Stormer (a nazi website) likes him.

Ironically The Daily Stormer has since changed its tagline from "the world's #1 PewDiePie fan site" to "the world's #1 Wall Street Journal fan site", with a composite image of the three journalists that wrote the WSJ hit piece on PewDiePie.

The WSJ presents the entire story as investigatory journalism (the WaPo[3] even calls it "investigatory") with all the characteristic window dressing like the haunting steel drum soundtrack and creepy transitions to soundbites. It includes an apology and follows it up with a SPLC quote suggesting the apology itself is just a nazi dogwhistle.

I would be far more forgiving if the entire ordeal didn't give off such a strong "old media vs new media" vibe. PewDiePie became popular with probably the most mundane and inoffensive content (gameplay videos with quirky humour) before recently shifting into more daring content, much of which is built on him calling out his critics. A lot of the nazi/anti-semitism segments the WSJ cites are actually retorts to people accusing him of these exact things and can be summarised as "Look, this is what you say I am: <nazi segment>. This is ridiculous".

I don't care much for PewDiePie's style of content, neither the old gameplay stuff nor the more recent videos. And his humour is definitely playing with societal sensibilities and at times in bad taste. But the anti-semitism accusations are willfully ignorant of the context and no more valid than the child abuse accusations against Louis CK.

Regardless of whether PewDiePie is an anti-semite/nazi or not, the style of reporting by the WSJ, WaPo, Guardian et al is sensationalist and intellectually dishonest. It calls into question their credibility on topics that actually matter, which is a net negative to the credibility of the traditional press as a whole.

[2]: While frequently cited because it's ostensibly "good people" the SPLC has also called Muslim reformer Maajid Nawaz as "anti-Muslim extremist" (which almost everyone else seems to agree on being ridiculous and irresponsible). Appealing to their moral authority should thus be taken with a grain of salt.

Both run fine next to each other. The only conflict I can think of is if you don't call "bash" via a complete path, but rather rely on PATH environment variable.

Btw. any reason you are not running those bash scripts in WSL now?
one does not need to know how to write an algorithm on a white board to understand it. Seems like it would better to ask what a red-black tree is, what's it's time complexity, and what would be a good situation to use one.

In fact, I would argue that one could know how to write one and have no idea of the practical use of it.
Can you recommend some of them?

Robots are the visible automation threat. There will be at least as much automation, if not much more, in the back office. There are so many business processes that can be automated and made more efficient by introducing mobile devices and remote data processing.
I have just been through the Google process for recruiting. While I have some minor complaints about timing, I never once was not interviewing with the team and leadership that held the req. Heck, even their technical was respectful and topical every time.

So I'm a bit confused by this post.
Preface: I might be too influenced by Adam Curtis.

But what I find most interesting about this reply/rant, is that it - like most of left, always seems to envision a world without power. And you can't confront entrenched power, without seizing power, and using it to transform society.
Why can your employees access resources that aren't approved in the first place? Considering their machine contains such sensitive information, that seems irresponsible.

> But of course it doesn't do that. It's just a way of getting a machine to identify partizan stories that are statistically likely to contain a higher proportion of lies, especially if they are from right-wing sources (Table 1).

I think if a system like this got traction, then like many things academics produce, it will be misconstrued and misused.

> It's really not hard for professional journalists to fact-check partizan articles, and I'd assume the ones hired by Buzzfeed used several well-known fact-checking sites, including Politifact.

You should not assume things like that. And again, if they were just gonna look stuff up on Politifact, why couldn't the researcher do that themselves? It's clear there was a more in-depth process here. I think it is totally fair to say that the process could be a good one even if Buzzfeed is a bad choice of organization to run the process with, but further research would have to bear that out. Because only Buzzfeed was involved, it's impossible for us to determine whether there was a bias in the data because of who produced it.

That is, we can't be sure if that data would be similar if we had, say, the National Review doing fact-checking. That's why we need either (preferably) more than one fact-checking organization, or at least a single but highly neutral one.

> As we know all too well, individuals commonly abrogate the responsibility to understand and analyze sources all by themselves.

Which does not mean we shouldn't be careful about enabling it.

My fear here is the common trope of "X new discovery is an oracle," where we take some interesting tidbit about patterns (in in this case, in linguistics) and decide it is absolute truth or applies everywhere.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the increase in rape statistics in Sweden largely attributable to broadening of the government's definition of what it considers rape?
well, the problem is data. NN needs a lot (depending on the problem thousands or millions of samples). It will probably get very difficult to get this much data needed to train an ML algorithm the location of the relevant OCR text.

Often ML problems way more experimental than "normal" coding. I would first try modelling it as a classification-problem and just do some cross-entropy validation to check the performance of the model. If it's useful, go with it, if not back to the drawing board. You will need some serious computing power, so either buy some GPUs or use the cloud.

You could train a random forest based on the inputs of OCR and NN, if you want to get total ML. You would gain some interpretability (i don't know whether thats important, but i would guess it might)

I am sorry that I can't give you a more concrete answer, these are just ideas. They are probably wrong. Like i said, i am a beginner and also don't really know the problem.

Edit other idea: If you know the location of the relevant OCR-text, you could use the following approach: Use the NN for classification. It will return probability-like values for every category. Take the top 2 (or 3, or every top until they add up to 70 percent...idk). Then do some OCR for every category you have to check. If one is positive you have your result, if not run the others.

How Amazon continues to remake the books business
I think it's unfair to attribute my assumption to LessWrong or rationalism... The reason I assume it is because it is true in physics and because Chiang explicitly says so in https://boingboing.net/2010/07/22/ted-chiang-interview.html and I quoted him in the footnote:

"I think free will is what underlies most everything interesting about time travel. And when I say time travel, I'm including receiving information from the future, because that's essentially equivalent to someone traveling from the future."
Am i the only one here that doesnt use facebook? I think i logged in once eight or so years ago. My clients dont use it. My friends do ... well did. But it was never an issue. My students avoid it due to the "creep factor". I still live life via email and telephone and that isnt unussual. Even my tech clients, some in downtown SF, expect email to be the norm.

So when I see zuck going on about revolutions I have to wonder where he gets his information. Does he really think a large and growing percentage of the planet uses his website for everyday tasks? That's marketing spin. I think reality is much more humble.
The whole world is not a team. You can only say that if you're making an intentionally, consciously hyperbolic statement.

I am not interested in long and un-ending pedantic arguments about the extreme corner-case definitions of words. I maintain that an online community of 10k people does not fit even the most charitable meaning of a working "team". If that doesn't work for you, then you're only setting yourself up for surprise.

This argument that "any size" should really mean "any size" amounts to someone walking into an "all-you-can-eat" buffet and expecting to be able to sit at the same table for 2 weeks eating all meals for the price of one, and then complaining that the 'all you can eat' advertisement should overrule all other policies the restaurant has.

It would be the same as someone seeing an ad for mini-golfing for $20 for a family of any size, and then bringing four thousand of your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th cousins, and demanding that the entire group gets in for $20. While there's a pedantic, technical truth to cousins belonging to your 'family', it doesn't meet anybody's common understanding of what an ad for family prices means, even the person trying to cheat the system.

If the author truly didn't even suspect that his 10k users is a massive stretch of the idea of a "team", the message limits should have been a clue, but instead of acknowledging he was pushing the limits, he blamed Slack.

Almost. `code.exe .` will do what you expect IF you are in a folder that's visible from the Windows side. If you're in a WSL folder, the Windows program will be run in C:\Windows\System32.

It has worked well for me to make a symlink under ~ to /mnt/c/Users/myaccount/, and that way anything under that symlinked folder is visible to WSL and Windows programs.
For Apple it won't matter since apps are heavily sandboxed and can only pass eachother data through predefined APIs. Jailbroken phones are another can of worms though, since you're literally leaving open an exploit to run unsigned code.

It's all word play and there's no meaning in debating about a concept which itself has multiple interpretations.

You're saying it's "travel" because information travels through time.

But a lot of other people relate "Travel" with humans, meaning it's the human that travels through time.

In fact, most people when they hear about "travel" think of human as its subject, not non-human objects like information.

If you stretch it that far, basically any story with flashbacks is time travel, because information travels to present from the past.
This should be really useful for people who are forced to use Windows (e.g. at work). Other than that, I don't think many Linux/Unix enthusiasts are looking forward to running a spyware-ridden closed-source non-Unix operating system.
And yet somehow the employment and unemployment rates in the developed world are pretty healthy, and there are more manufacturing jobs in the developing world than ever.

The point of technology is to reduce the number of people doing a given task, freeing up that labor to perform higher value activities, or the same activity to a higher value. So fewer people need to be sailors, road work gang members or field laborers and more of us can be TV presenters, computer game artists and SCUBA diving instructors. Occupations representative of whole industries the world couldn't have afforded to support a hundred years ago. Vast swathes of the population back then were doing jobs that hardly even exist anymore, yet somehow we don't have vast swathes of the population out of work. That doesn't even factor in the massive transfer of female labor from household work to the working class and professional labor markets.
There are a few different processes imo.

I have been through what you describe. A recruiter reaches out and tries to get you in their funnel. For me, it's a no-go because of my college background. (Unsexy school, shitty grades.)

A family member was pursued by them very aggressively after making some presentations at significant conferences and getting praise in a book written by a high level business exec.

This family member was received borderline harassing levels of outreach from recruiters from Google. It's pretty obvious there is some sort of targeted hunting list and KPIs associated with it.

I made a few tangential points regard globalization in a similar discussion. Basically wondering how globalization which was a very right wing corporatist idea (Sanders calls it a Koch brothers proposal here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vf-k6qOfXz0 basically) became a favorite of the new left. And conversely anti-globalization was a top issue for the left along with TPP, NAFTA and other such stuff.

I think it is rather ironic that the new "left" love them globalization all of the sudden, even when their younger brothers were tear-gassed protesting it, just a decade ago or so protesting against it.

(More discussion here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13682260 along with a promising book on the subject, 'The Technological Society' by Jacques Ellul suggested by Drumlin. Still waiting for it to come from Amazon)
the problem with the way Google interviews is that, despite it being heavily standardized, it is not sensitive to non-algorithmic skills and talents that interviewees have. It will _only_ pass candidates who are unusually good at algorithm puzzles, on whiteboards, under time pressure.
Nice work! This would be great if it could be pluggable for relational schemas. The interactivity is nice for explaining the schema with domain experts.
It's not up to the masses. There is so much going on in the world, that it became impossible to deal with everything and have an opinion on everything. So it's actually up to a as large and diverse group as possible, to oppose movements like this. Which ultimately results in just a few making decisions for the masses. You can try to solve this problem before or just demand that the once/few in charge right now do the right thing. But it's not up to the masses and it has never been.
Asking to be interviewed by your future boss seems like a proxy for asking to be interviewed in such a way where it's directly relevant to your job. If so, why not directly ask for the latter? Your future boss isn't the only one who can perform that sort of interview.
This alone made WSL way more useful for me. Only thing that's missing now is traceroute.

I have a friend who would be level 7~8 at Google and he still gets generic emails from recruiters.

Not sure they actually do hire anyone straight to this kind of engineer levels though, I assume they'd give you the salary and responsibilities and make you earn the title through promotions?
> There is no point in giving me binary-tree-traversing questions; I don't know those answers and will never be interested in learning them.

They are just looking for smart people. If you ever looked it up it's 5 lines of code. That's the whole point they're not forcing you to learn something:

A) so esoteric you will never encounter in your programming career
B) so complicated that you'd have to spend days practicing it, etc

In my opinion a lot of these questions are disguised IQ tests wrapped in algorithms since they can't blatantly ask "brain teaser" questions anymore.
It is ironic, then, that the author is claiming that algorithms, and knowledge of them, are unimportant for a programmer

He didn't say that.
I was more suggesting a separate centralized service that doesn't use phone #s, but true that you still wouldn't be able to use it with standard Signal users.

Here's the thing, nothing personal about you but a true fact about Google. Nobody at Google could possibly care less about your opinions on "application and database architecture" because Google does not have application and database architecture that even slightly resembles anything you have ever seen outside of the company. In fact the less you think you know about architecture the better it would be for all involved, if you were to go work at Google. Also all those things you know about makefiles and maven and ant and ansible and chef? Nobody cares. Google doesn't use those tools. Google has lots of famous engineers and while I believe their expertise and knowledge are valued, their outside experiences are generally not.
Aren't there classes of stock? Essentially what a joe shmoe can (afford to) buy isn't going to benefit him much at all. The $100M CEO and his cronies are skimming all the fat. No sensible company profits much at all - because you'd have to share that with stockholders.

Just my cynical view
You can't figure out if anyone can perform, by asking algorithms questions. That's rather a waste of time. Instead, they can be given a task to write some real code to solve a certain task, and of course not in 2 hours, but within a day let's say. And then evaluate the result. That can show how people perform. And not puzzle questions about problems that people were breaking their heads for years to crack.
Hi! Thanks so much for your reply.

SparrowHub acts over ssl certificate provided by Let's Encrypt Certificate Authority. It is used for account related operations. Other API related to plugins search and downloading available by http, but it's possible to switch it to https.

A plugins ownership is validated by so called tokens generated once user get a SparrowHub account, so that plugins authors do not collide in names for theirs plugins.

If this is what do you mean? or you mean something else by saying " to implement certificates and signing" ?

I've been responding with "Sorry I'm pretty happy where I'm at right now, but can I keep your email address and let you know when I do start looking for something new". My goal is to have a giant mailing list of recruiters when I do start looking for work again.
Ignoring the blatant lies by Infowars, this still seems pretty bad. Giving Zuckerberg the power to identify "hate speech" and work with politicians on it can only lead to abuse in the long run.
agreed, but let's assume you don't know what an AVL tree is or what the trade-offs are between an AVL, red-black or other type of trees: how long does in this age to find that information if you know what you are doing? I mean, you could allow your interviewee access to a computer and based on the type of googling they do it should be fairly obvious if they know what they are talking about.

In your day-to-day you have wikipedia, stackoverflow, hn and so on: software development hasn't qualitatively changed in the past decades to require multi-day interviews when 15 years ago a single 30-45 min interview was more than enough.

It would actually be interesting to compare the length of, say, a google interview a year after company inception compared to now. I am sure that despite the fact that nowadays the impact of a bad hire would be minuscule compared to back then, the interview process is way, way, way longer and more difficult.
Or just use an iPhone. The amount of marketshare Apple would lose if there was even a hint of a US-intelligence backdoor in their systems keeps them with a very, very vested interest to actively fight that.

Dave McClure’s immigration plea and other highlights from 500 Startups' Demo Day
Not confused. Saying that new/top adds bias - that a blind sampling would help solve.

Reference to dups provides proof that "top" stories are being missed, since one dup might have 100+ upvotes, while another will have just a few upvotes and no comment saying it's a dup; meaning to me the only difference is the volume of comments/votes between the two.

Beyond that, I've seen research that shows seeding a submission with even just a few comments/upvotes greatly increases the odds of future traction.

Point is to reduce noise to signal ratio.
You're the one who thinks you're informed, and that a judge would overrule the DA if they got out of hand, so I suggest you go find out.

I'm pretty much in the camp that the DA would fuck you up and the police and judge would all be in on it. Try telling a cop what the law is, especially if you're right...
I have the same experience - it's easy to turn down if you are not interested, or if they what they propose is a bad fit.
I also think it is good to remember how extremely lucky we are to work in a field where there is such high demand. I have several friends that are in a technical field (but are not developers) looking for new jobs, and they have to work really hard to find anything. For developers, we can just sit back and wait for employers to look for us.
