hey, i'm a community manager for this course. independent contractor, as opposed to working directly for springboard (so try to be pretty unbiased). Happy to help any way i can.

I think the career track grew out of the "Data Science Intensive" course so similar curriculum but much more focus on the job related side and more hands on in terms of helping students going through the process of looking for work in this area.

Anyway - you are probably looking for past students as opposed to someone like me but just reply if any specific questions i can help with.
Nice story but the issue in my family was about paranoia and having public information exposed. That is why signing up in Facebook was unreasonable.
Not directly related, but has anyone here successfully gotten Gnome (3) to work on DragonflyBSD? I've tried several times over the past few years (dating back to 4.2, I think), and despite pretty much all other DE's working fine for me, I've never gotten Gnome to start up properly; GDM just hangs on a black screen instead of starting up, and when I try to manually start it with SLiM and the require .xinitrc, I just get a message saying "Oh no! Something went wrong" and then get sent back to the main login screen. I've never had trouble getting Gnome to start properly on FreeBSD on the same machines that I've tried this on, so I've never been able to figure out why it consistently fails for me.
>It should be a market decision, not a national government decision.

That's all well and good where competitive markets exist, but in many places, they simply don't.

Only 23% of American census blocks, for example, have more than 1 option for 25MBPS+ internet.

There have been a lot of discussion and laws around "revenge porn also". For an example, in the UK it's now illegal.

Exchange the word sexually exploited with privacy invaded:

"It is a sexual violation. It's disgusting. The law needs to be changed, and we need to change. That's why these Web sites are responsible. Just the fact that somebody can be sexually exploited and violated, and the first thought that crosses somebody's mind is to make a profit from it. It's so beyond me," the "Hunger Games" actress said.

If you need a full blown API you should just sign up to Graphcool from the start :-) We have a generous free plan, so there is really no downside.

I think you are right that it could be useful to be able to import a graphql-up api to graphcool, so that is definitely something we will consider. What we will do for sure is allow you to create a Graphcool project based on a Schema Definition, just like with graphql-up - look for that in the near future.
Netflix is an easier example. I know that Comcast Xfinity, for example, already offers a bunch of video streaming on demand, and more if you buy their TV subscription in addition to internet. So they already have a partial competitor to Netflix and Hulu, with a big incentive to mess with connections to those companies so people will use theirs instead.

Yup, that's the one.

The "literally sketchable on a post-it note" is that you can show this for 1 bit, 2 bits, and 3 bits pretty easily, and 4 bits if you sketch small enough. At that point it's not hard to see this goes to infinity, maybe not rigorously enough to pass for a proof, but pretty strong. (It's a fairly small step to an inductive proof from there, though this verges on a trivial proof by the time you've laid all the bits out.)
Many muslims also believe that the beauty of the Quran's poetry is proof of the existence of God. Although they believe it is explained by the prophetic status of Muhammad, I've always found the belief to be surprisingly humanist for such an old religion, in the same sense as Kreeft's quote.
I do not pay attention to Trump or anything he says. I think your perspective on these issues is unduly influenced by Trump's claims and your conviction that if Trump claims something it must be false.

> And, where else do we advocate responding to direct attacks with kindness? Where else do we advocate not holding aggressors responsible and instead to appease or "de-escalate", as you put it? Indeed the normally bellicose Trump himself has inexplicably treated our allies far less favorably than a foreign aggressor. Now, why is that?

This is the argument George W. Bush made about Iraq and why it was necessary to overthrow Saddam.

The notion that "Google hardly even had lobbyists back during the SOPA blackhout" is incorrect, at least in spirit. Google may have had less 'middle market' lobbying going on, but it is very well known that Eric Schmidt's relentless engagement in politics substantially predated SOPA.

This is a difficult question. Emotionally, I am a net neutrality absolutist, but I think I can talk myself out of it, which to me means that the conversation is complex.

Should the power company be able to offer you a discounted rate if you host equipment that offsets their cost (for instance: a powerwall)[1]?

I think that the answer to that question is yes.

Well okay, then should your ISP be able to offer you a discounted rate to use services that offset their cost (youtube, which has an cache near you, vs vimeo, which doesn't)? If the power company can do this, then why can't the ISP?

Again, I don't like this, but I can't think of a consistent explanation for why they shouldn't be allowed to dynamically charge you based on their cost.

[1]: I don't know enough about the electrical grid to know if a powerwall could actually be used in a way that offsets the cost to a power utility or not. I don't think that the correctness of this statement matters to the example. Substitute "a powerwall" for "equipment that saves the power company money".
When you change the source code, you have to take care to test on both Python 2 and 3. With this solution, the transformation (I think) only happens on Python 3, so there is no way to introduce bugs in Python 2 at all. Which is an important thing if your code base is big enough.

While explicit is better than implicit the practicality still beats purity.

EDIT: yup, only happens on Py3: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg/rev/1c22400db72d#l2.10
Yes, if you also want to have more implementations, that can differ in e.g. license or programming language.

For instance it is the reason why there's no reimplementation of TeX.
Ah, I see. That wasn't obvious to me when I first looked.

Isn't sorting of Unicode characters defined under Unicode? I think the correct answer for "how do I sort my unicode strings" is "defer to unicode".

Yep, Comcast better be careful lest I leave them for the 6mbps competitors I have as options in the backwater community I live in called Berkeley, CA.

I utterly fucking loathe Comcast, and yet they get thousands of my dollars because of an unspoken of oligopoly among ISPs that has grown out of the tacit agreement to not enter in to each others fiefs.

"What do you mean by extremism? I view net neutrality as the requirement to treat all bits equally regardless of source, which is kind of a binary one."

It should be possible for me to build some kind of public network, somewhere, for some purpose ... and dictate bits/traffic any way I see fit.

Now maybe I can't do that with CATV because common carrier.

And maybe I can't do that with public spectrum because public resources.

But there should be some way I can do that. Net neutrality extremism suggests that there should not be any way I can do that.
One thing is the influence of Facebook on the USA population and on politics there. This is dangerous - but I am sure that it will be reined in. It is yet another thing for non USA residents. With Facebook all the notions of sovereignty go down the drains.

To add a bit of detail here, one of the most surprising things I found that I'm saving for my next post is: 24% of recent vulnerabilities in the NVD have no rating, and that doesn't even include the ones that weren't posted to NVD at all.

On top of this, the fact that the rating systems used by the different vendors/sources of vulnerabilities are quite different, and like you mentioned, the implicit subjectivism... it's a mess. But a solvable one! That's what I'm working on.
> "net neutrality" extremism

So the NN side are the extremists. Not the side that wants to radically change the way the internet has worked for 40 years. Not the side that wants to upend the most innovative segment of the economy in favor of dinausour monoplies, radically reshaping the foundations of billions of dollars in investment and billions more in created wealth. Those guys are "conservative" right?

> I'm pretty sure the word shortage already implies that there is a shortage at the market price

"Shortage at the market price" seems to be a somewhat incoherent concept. The market price is the price point at which the supply and demand curves intersect. Other than a discontinuity in either supply or demand such that the curves pass without intersecting (which makes the market price ill-defined), demand equals supply at the market price.
The best argument I've found for convincing conservatives is to stress that the internet is a platform for commerce, and healthy commerce requires equality of opportunity -- specifically, the opportunity for consumers to access your business.

ISPs literally "own the road", to create an analogy for internet businesses. If the only road company in town installs a toll booth or a series of speed bumps in front of McDonald's because Burger King paid them to, it artificially distorts the market in a way that allows successful companies to pay to entrench themselves and fend off competition.

Innovation and disruption inherently require free and fair access to the storefronts of upstarts, whether physical or digital. To slant the playing field with throttling or zero-rating is tantamount to a big box corp having the ability to pay someone to install a toll booth in front of my competing mom and pop business.

> Other regulations allowed other companies to be active on the same network

well, this sort of thing is due (at least in part) to the physicality of infrastructure.

adding more telephone lines (and gas, electrical, etc) is welcomed for the first person to come through, but subsequent businesses/developers have a LOT more pushback if not outright blockage from local authorities.
I think the delusion you have fallen victim to here is that it all boils down to your personal choices. The issue is not whether--for you personally in the market--it makes sense to delete your facebook. The important point that outrages people rightly is that the system has evolved in such a way that the choice is not a reasonable one to have to make (between friends and privacy).

We need policy changes that separate the choice to have privacy from state/corporate knowledge of our intimate lives from the choice to make connections with friends, advertise, reach out to the world, etc. The market as it currently exists is not an adequate mechanism to achieve these changes.

The business model of people-farming and super-stasi state spying is the polar opposite of the utopian promises made by many in this industry at the emergence of the internet, and there need to be concrete proposals to stop it from every arena, because there will certainly be far more dire consequences as it evolves if it isn't checked in a comprehensive, thoughtful way.
That's a pretty broad brush you are painting with. Do you have some hard data that says things break down so clearly along party lines? I'd particularly like to see data about non-politicians, if it is available, since the way Congress votes on such things is not necessarily driven by the way their constituents view the issue (if they are even aware of it).
True, but I didn't because the OP didn't either. It is a problem that hasn't been solved yet, and for me, so far it's been an worthy compromise. I avoid putting anything truly personal on my Facebook - it doesn't have my home address, I turn location settings off, I never send sensitive information over Facebook messenger, etc. I try to minimize what they have, and I think that's an acceptable tradeoff.
I liked this Bill Cosby line:

I asked my friend, "Why do you do cocaine?"
And he said, "Well, it intensifies your personality."
And I said, "Well yes, but what if you're an asshole?"

I didn't used to be myself, and I was unhappy. Then I decided, after being told to be myself, to be myself. I started doing whatever I felt like doing, and being true to myself, and I started being happier.

But it turns out I was an asshole. So I decided not to be an asshole. This also meant changing my life, and getting new friends. I'm only a little bit of an asshole now, but i'm a lot happier.

> Instead of searching for our inner selves and then making a concerted effort to express them, Trilling urged us to start with our outer selves. Pay attention to how we present ourselves to others, and then strive to be the people we claim to be.

You can take this a couple of ways: "Fake it til you make it" is one interpretation, and "Be so fake that you become real" is another. The argument is that whatever ideal you're trying to pretend to associate with yourself, you should go all-in. But this is horrible advice, too. What they're suggesting is that, rather than meditate on the reasons for the obvious difference between what you're trying to reflect outwards and how you are inside, just go ahead and become that person without thinking about why.

Part of my becoming "myself 2.0" meant analyzing why I did things, and why I felt bad about some thoughts or actions, and good about others. As I developed more compassion for the people in my life and the way I affected them, my value system changed. I decided I didn't want to do certain things anymore, but I did want to do other things more. This changed my outward and inward self. So I don't know if I buy this idea of modeling your thoughts on an appearance. Even if you were trying to be the model of the Buddha, that's not necessarily going to make you happy.
I hold both views.

The subtitle requirement doesn't apply to members of the general public. It applies to large institutions which know better, and have the resources to comply.

If Berkeley is embarrassed, some other university takes the time to subtitle its video content in the future to avoid a similar mess, and the public gets to keep the Berkeley videos, that's the best possible outcome short of Berkeley captioning its videos and continuing to host them.

The point isn't "if people with disabilities can't have it, no one can." That's just an unfortunate cost of enforcement. The point is to apply some mild coercion to make more of the world accessible to people with disabilities, and if this debacle has that effect, it's working as intended.
Ok, you called out the article on bullshit. So what's your take? Are you claiming the story didn't happen? Can you provide more plausible content?

I'm keen to believe this, since it's close to past real events I know of from eastern Europe. Shortage of basic goods, massive queues for toilet paper, barter and stealing small things from public/work places, "I know a guy" access to important resources, gov enforcing only the selected rules convenient at the time.
Those involved in technology are often confronted with brutally kafkaesque situations wherein the human and the machine are starkly opposed. Fighting against the machine is often demoralizing, depressing, and dehumanizing - but not always. Not today.
