I believe the underlying idea behind "dick pics" is that people are guided to think of something that is embarrassing to them. When you tell people they should stop using Facebook if they want to protect their privacy, they think of all the things they've freely shared and associate Facebook with positive memories - my friends liked my post, they laughed at it and shared it. When you make them think of "dick pics", they think of something that is taboo to share in most social circles, and associate it with embarrassment/negative memories.

The issue is that many of the things people share on Facebook/Twitter/etc are actually "taboo", and people's evaluation of them is just wrong. As an example, the story of Justine Sacco, a person who would arguably be even more aware than the average of the impact of public statements, still did not manage to correctly evaluate that the things she was sharing on Twitter would lead to a serious backlash and witch hunt against her.

The worst part is, you won't necessarily get instant feedback, like Justine did. You may post something "among your friends"(in reality, publicly on Twitter), all your friends may agree with you, and then several years down the line you will be judged by a completely different social group, looking through your records. We don't tend to accommodate evolution in people's beliefs as much as we do for ourselves - try the defense "I'm not that kind of person anymore" to strangers and see how often it works out(no need to try on your own, just check out how easy convicted felons have it when trying to reintegrate into society).

No, "share your day" only show up in the messenger app and they only show up for a limited time. It is basically the same as Snapchat stories. They even put a camera button front and center of messenger that defaults to publish the pictures as a story.
I think their legal shenanigans regarding usage of Java technology plays a major role here: they simply do not own Java technology. It was a horrible mistake to use it without Sun's/Oracle's approval and as soon as the first lawsuit ends in favor of Oracle, they will be milked to an extent that has not yet been seen.
Kotlin doesn't really have true reified generics (any more than e.g. Scala has), Java 8 has first class lambdas, extension methods and @Nullable now. Kotlin is just Java 8 with cleaner syntax.
I view mocks as a code smell. If you have good interfaces and make a clear distinction between services and values you should never mock - stub your services, and use real values in tests.

Who still uses bulbs for traffic lights these days? Here it's all LED. Cheaper and much clearer. (The old bulb lights were sometimes really hard to see when the sun is low behind you.)
Even if you're writing Java-like code you get a lighter syntax, fewer awkward special cases (primitives and arrays aren't as special, == does the right thing by default, try doesn't need braces and nor do function blocks, if is an expression), and some very useful code-saving constructs (case classes, pattern matching). It's not using Scala's full potential but it's still a good language for that space.
America's military is really a tool for foreign policy. Granted, as with everything in America, the policy is partially set with corporations in mind - but without it, America would have no way to compete for influence over the world, and the second/third-rate countries would be overtaken by China, Russia etc. My guess is that it would not end well for USA.

Nice. Trying to drag the button doesn't work though; I would add that.
I agree, but the PM (Rutte) and his party are definitely benefiting. He had many opportunities before to go harder on Erdogan i.e. when Erdogan bought oil from IS but "we" needed him to keep refugees out of Europe.

The stance is certainly not against Muslims although people might feel it that way. It is against the fact the pro-Erdogan Turks and anti-Erdogan Turks and Curds etc cause unrest in the Netherlands. Most people are welcoming of other cultures but not when they bring their political unrest with them. This whole circus was a signal to Turkey to keep Turkish politics within Turkey. Still, I'm certain our PM would have been less strong if there weren't any elections.

I don't understand Erdogan though, he called on the dutch Turks to not vote for the current PM and Geert Wilders (PVV, far right, anti immigration, pro Netherlands), and now this?! He must know that the couple of Turks that will listen to this will be overwhelmed by Dutchies wanting to vote anything that Erdogan doesn't like... It's like he is intentionally putting oil on the fire, helping PVV. Why is the very important questions, what does he or some other party have to gain? Who benefits from poor EU/Turkey relations?

Edit: after thinking some more: Of course Erdogan is the one who benefits greatly from the created "us against them sentiment" of the Turks. It distracts from all the turmoil and the approaching power grab.
Out of curiosity (by someone who doesn't know exactly how it works), is there no way for society to go completely off-grid with respect to ISPs, like power customers do with solar panels? Couldn't we then people build an inexpensive wireless black box server/partial cache nodes that everybody owns (stronger ones or bridges for rural users), and that communicate as a smart distributive network - physically detached from the existing GIG and ISPs?

I see this type of mock-heavy testing in lots of places. I used to do the same thing too, but I found that it basically just tightly couples your test to your implementation details. The whole purpose of unit tests is to be able to refactor things with confidence that your tests will still pass. If you so closely tie your test to your implementation you lose that.

In the example, the tests now really care about how data is being retrieved from the database. Instead, I'd use an in-memory database (or even a Dockerized one). That would then also test that the right queries are being done, but you could still refactor the internals of UserServiceImpl (terrible name btw) and your tests wouldn't fail.
Ok, that's really funny xD

Its a book he has read. That is all. Fake news and false outrage.

> What I find interesting is, conservatives will often tout this "pipeline problem" to explain away low representation of women and minorities in STEM jobs -- as a natural outcome that nothing should be done about it.

You are saying the government needs to tell women and minorities to apply for STEM courses, because they are incapable of doing so? This is a cultural problem and it is fixing itself without government intervention.

> "pipeline problem" at the advanced degree level relative to legal immigrants

As Dr. Kaku says in the video, "the scientific establishment would collapse...50% PhD are foreign-born.". So your solution is immigration? Wouldn't the solution be to fix the education system?

What we are saying is focus on a sustainable solution - looking after the people you have. If you keep bringing people in, and they bring their families, and their kids turn out to be dummies because of poor education system, then you need to bring in more foreign-born...who will just perpetuate the problem and increase the burden on the country of dummies. Its a ponzi scheme. And it is actually an argument for restricting family visas, and favouring increase numbers of H1-B.

> Most of the H1-Bs I have worked with, including my wife, were exceedingly talented, and hired by companies for their talent, not low wage slaves.

Anecdotal, but yes, some/most immigrants are talented - of course. But there is documented abuses, and conditions available for abuses - which means abuses certainly happen.

There is such a sign, but it's irrelevant as long as the traffic light is active so you can just ignore it. The whole intersection is also built in a way that you can really only go right as there is nowhere to go straight ahead or even left. And you surely would notice the green arrow sign next to the red light and act accordingly.
Celebrities are treated differently. Not really the same thing.
Yeah you can't do that, and I don't necessarily agree with that design decision. But for the sake of the comparison it's worth saying that these "simple" compile-to-binary languages simply don't let you set those parameters at all - it's ridiculous to argue that Go (say) is better than Java because something that's impossible in Go requires fiddling with parameters in Java.
This will be known as the social media era of politics. For good (greater engagement, faster news dissemination) and for bad (staggering polarisation, fake news).

I think this will persist for quite some time e.g decades until the next era arrives which will see more earth-friendly, people-centric, less capitalist views come to the fore e.g base income, renewable at all costs etc as automation and climate change reek havoc.
I'm gambling on "The Oil Age". Political strife will be placed in the context of petroleum geopolitics, energy sectors, climate change, and what will be dubbed "The first migration" (if ocean levels rise as some predict, there will be a second migration for 10% of global population [1])

You can wrap, among other things, the 70's OPEC wars, 79 Iranian revolution, 9/11 and the rise of Trump in a nice tiny bow and create a coarsely accurate depiction of history over those 45 years. You can even have a little side story about things like the 1985 "We Are the World" charity song without missing a beat.

In the long run, things like Facebook and Snapchat will probably be as relevant and well-known as say, the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. Never heard of it? It's a charter member of the Dow Jones Transportation Average (the predecessor to the DJIA) and an important company from the 1800s ...

No, I'm saying investors should be concerned that they are preferring prestige rather than hiring the best candidates regardless of school background, and that given how unrepresentative the schools they hire from are, this is contributing to keeping diversity down and makes a mockery of their own stated commitments.

The internal data that the group that is tasked with improving diversity (and that is largely being ignored) at this particular bank shows that being equally strict about results but considering a wider range of schools would increase diversity and would allow them to actualy do so while making their hiring cirteria stricter. This gets brushed aside, and then the bank keeps complaining about how hard it is to be more diverse afterwards.

In other worse: They are hiring less qualified candidates and use the prestige of the schools as an excuse for avoiding hiring more qualified candidates that would also bring more diversity.

Lost of places. Here it's a mixture of lightbulb and LED lights. Also LEDs may be cheaper over time due to electricity costs, but the initial upgrade is surely more expensive than a new bulb. Then there is the problem with snow not melting and you don't know what maintenance contracts are there for bulb replacement and how long those last.
Smalltalk has been very influential in other ways, especially on Ruby. But yes, it would be great if more languages borrowed the "small simple core" bit (possibly adding some syntactic sugar, like ML does).

On the other hand, it's possible to make (core language + standard library) too small. A particularly bad thing to leave out is a module/separate compilation system, ensuring that a zoo of incompatible module systems will grow up.

The PM never banned protests AFAIK.

This was the decision of local and state governments and was done because in the past similar protests became impossible to control. It's fair enough to allow protests about Dutch policies but a whole different story when it is purely about an internal Turkish issue.
