Factors that contribute to friend suggestions on FB:

1. Facebook tracking pixels on websites (if you visit a website with the pixel, you can be targeted in many different ways).

2. Email. If you have sent or received an email to the doctor, and either of you has associated that email to FB, you can be tracked.

3. Searching on FB, you say its unlikely for him to look you up on FB, yet theres always a chance that being a family doctor, he might have at some point seen one of your family member's FB and stumbled upon a picture or post in which you were tagged.

4. Whatsapp Contacts. As you know, Whatsapp and FB are part of the same company, hence have access to linked information. If you share certain Whatsapp contacts, a connection can be inferred.

This definitely seems like a rich get richer sort of situation and will lead to patronage machines.
I transfer files like that all the time.

Run sshd on your desktop (assuming your behind a NAT there are nearly 0 security issues with this), when you want to transfer files

`rsync username@desktops_ip:remote_file local_file`.

Alternatively use something like syncthing.

I've had good experiences with a 10" eInk dev kit from Pervasive Displays, purchased from DigiKey. Looks like it's out of stock right now, but they've got a 7.4" and a 4.4" form factor in stock:

Those users see an extra layer of friction for no obvious benefit. "Trust" is not an issue for them, because they've never experienced someone impersonating someone else.

The reason the web is broken is because it's a meeting point for the social, commercial, corporate, personal, academic, and political worlds. All of those worlds have different demands and requirements.

You can't fix a political problem by applying technology to it. There's a persistent myth that you can, but the reality is that publicly accessible technology mirrors the publicly accessible political environment, not vice versa.

Politically, neither ordinary users nor academic experts have the leverage to enforce the kind of secure, safe, trustworthy web most of us here would want.

Banks, corporations, governments, and the letter agencies do, which is why they have an effective monopoly on the practical applications of key security.

A minority of geeks and security specialists get some crumbs from the key exchange table, but they're a long way from being able to force strong security into the popular web.
I visited the website on mobile. Not much I could do as Chrome doesn't provide a software back functionality besides the system back button.
Di Modica seems perfectly within his rights to feel mad. It would be another thing if he were actually trying to prevent the Fearless Girl from being there. I don't understand that to be the case, though. I, for one, am happy to know this extra context. Understanding all the layers makes the whole installation even more intriguing and effective as an act of art.
I share some of your concerns about the article, though the one quibble I'd have:

> In that scenario, it's business performance affecting employee engagement.

All of the examples that you gave aren't really business performance, they all represent some combination of fraud or terrible behavior. Sure, it could be fraud hiding negative business results, but the fundamental issues in all of those are managerial misbehavior.
>Chrome isnt perfect

Only gripe i have with chrome is the lack of a emacs keybinds plugin

Speaking of, anyone know if one exists?
Title, The Generalized Mean – An Algorithmic Approach
Actually, Drudge Report is a great example of website design that works. OK, maybe you hate Drudge for political reasons, but his site gets more visitors than yours. You might be able to learn something from that.

I have visited it pretty regularly since 1998 and it is awesome that it looks the same now as it did then. There's no stuff that floats up or down or around or in from one of the edges, no blinking fucking arrow telling me to scroll down for more info (as if I hadn't figured that out since the only thing visible is three words in a 400 pt. font and that's not exactly what I was looking for), no autoplay videos, no hamburger buns, no tabs, none of what passes for "good web design." I can see at a glance what I might be interested in, and when I click on it, I get more info. A back arrow gets me back to the place I started.

Tell me again how that's bad design.
Learning to See – Machine Learning Explained
You have any specific RTL-SDR dongles to recommend for beginners?
In this context, what do you mean by pattern?
Not all employees are the same. A kid who lives with his parents (as the OP) or a person receiving UBI or a person in a country with universal healthcare may take more risks, and work on this basis. You don't need EVERYONE to work this way.

Furthermore, this can be done part time by existing employees.

For millions of people, FTE has the same perverse incentives as means tested welfare: they pretend to work, they play office politics, and most of all they are afraid to undertake anything in their own life for fear of losing the guaranteed cashflow. They practice learned helplessness in their life and do not advance.

While some people are ok with this, many like the OP are not.
This proposal is a simple, appealing way of solving the problem, but I doubt it would work well over time, because, like all efforts to control human behavior via a simple set of rules, it will end up being gamed by human beings.

Campbell's Law: "The more any quantitative social indicator is used for social decision-making, the more subject it will be to corruption pressures and the more apt it will be to distort and corrupt the social processes it is intended to monitor."[0]

Ultimately, I believe, we'll need human moderators to (1) detect and prevent abuse of the rules, and (2) modify the rules when they stop working.

Would the server-side bit of this be a good, or at least fun, benchmark? More towards the TechEmpower end of the pool than TPC. There's a pretty clearly defined API, and some fun concurrency and data-handling to do.
Hum. A quick look at their financials [1]. Their balance sheet only shows $130B of shareholders equity. What it means is that half of that cash/liquidity is not attributable to its shareholders but is effectively borrowed cash. I am sure there all sort of good (tax?) reasons for that. But it doesn't mean Apple is sitting on $246B of liquidity they can spend as they please. They are sitting on more like half of that they can actually spend.

Still a staggering amount though.

Do you have any source for this? I've heard about pink being considered masculine and blue feminine, but I've never heard about this feminist campaign, and frankly it sounds unlikely.
It would be interesting if it were possible to hijack the infrastructure of the existing cloud players to do something similar. Like using encrypted blobs on Google drive, Microsoft OneDrive, etc, as the backing store. In some way that provides redundancy, safe peer-to-peer key exchange, opacity (your account is storing not just your encrypted blobs) etc.

Foisting off the infrastructure funding on the opposition has a sort of poetic justice to it.
A night of December 2013, I was walking towards the waterfront from our apartment on S1th and Berry in Brooklyn.I saw the spectacle of this ultra lit cityscape. What we're capable of doing with nature was somehow telling me that we have to do it. At the time it was a simple intuition. Now I can better piece things together, as if the cause of this intuition unwinds in front of me, with a fake air of truth. And I thought about the big things that mankind achieved. I thought going in space was one of them. But why? It's just what our species do. Space is just the new unknown territory. The trees grew higher to reach more sun and survive. We conquered all territories of this planet, that's how we survived. Also, we never had to look at leaving the place clean behind us, this has never been a survival instinct. But now, that we just settled, we grow out of place/resource, we start messing things up dangerously here. There is no telling how this will end, but now more than ever, we know that things must change. The way of caring about Nature that this situation requires is something we never experienced. One of the problems is that there is no direct payback for good behavior. Now that we're outside of the food chain in our leaky man-made biosphere we call cities, we are too far from the consequences of our actions on nature. Really this sucks. There is no turning back. The march of the civilization on our landscapes is devastating. Recycling plastic bags is not gonna cut it. We're just too many, each of us taking too much space, and growing. We need to be better at knowing nature as much as we need to have an escape. Let me insist on "as much as", otherwise this would just be another escapist rational and doesn't have anything to do with the highest good. So how could colonizing the galaxy be the highest good? Well, the highest good is not an expression I'm personally very fond of. This suggests the universality of virtues, which I am still struggling with. But let's assume that the highest good is to follow what we're programmed for, what we're good at, what we can call, inspired by Arthur Schopenhauer, our will as a species. Searching to understand nature and exploring new territories is a game we like to play. The excitement of discovery is so deeply ingrained in our species. This really is our life instinct. Whereas keeping things static, finding comfort in not questioning or enforcing our representations of the world is our death instinct.

A new free tool for creating a Docker compose file
Сloudestuary.com is a free tool that helps you with just a few click of a mouse to create a Docker compose file that you can use later on for your app. This tool saves you tons of time and efforts for creating your PHP-based environment.
I don't think it's that. Just the raw count of "clickable things" is much higher. Try some of the menus. Or "translate this page"...it doesn't look better. I suspect it's just a cultural thing about information density.
For those who would just like to use an EPD of reasonable size and price, the "official" development kits etc. are extremely expensive (likely due to the IP/patents discussed in some of the comments here) but others have figured out how to drive the panels you can find cheaply as replacements for e-book readers:

http://essentialscrap.com/eink/

In the usual applications these are driven by a dedicated controller (another big chunk of IP and thus $$), but it's easy enough to generate the signals with a regular microcontroller --- there's literally no minimum refresh rate, so the timing requirements are not high --- and it also gives you more control over the actual pixel whitening/darkening, allowing such things as grayscale and incremental updates:

The bottom of the article, and About - Team tells you all you need to know.

"If you’re interested to learn more about how to reach The Promised Land, don’t hesitate to contact us for an inspiring talk, rebellious workshop, or practical support during your organization’s transformation."

These are management consultants. Their statistics are about as good as those from psychologists, except they are usually directly paid for getting particular outcomes with their statistics.

In this case, their case is that there is a major problem in every organisation ! And they can help ! For $xxxxx they'll "solve this problem" (with a one-time talk about it, in case you were wondering), and for $xxxxxx they'll give a workshop, which will surely allow any manager to prove to his director how engaged he is, while (hardly worth mentioning, really) also allowing him to go home earlier for a whole week and probably get a free, really fancy, dinner or two.

Keep this in mind when judging the value of what they're saying. Of course, I do think they have a point, but they're part of the problem, not the solution.

There was a survey I read which asked the question "would you prevent your employer from gaining a million dollar in profit if you personally got $500 out of it ?". Apparently 86% would, and a further 10% was undecided.
I clicked through to the front page of his main blog, and my eyeballs melted.

Some designers have strange ideas about colour choices. I suspect the number of people who want to read a small block of black text on a monitor-filling solid slightly-off-bright-lime-green background is not huge.

I don't think I'm being unreasonably picky here. I actually said "Aaargh!" out loud when the page loaded. (Or words to that effect, anyway.)

Cyrillic is nice since it has extra letters that were added for central asian sounds. Spelling is more clear than when you use latin letters. With latin letters some single letters get replaced with double letters, or multiple sounds are overloaded onto a single letter.

It's a pity they don't switch to Orkhon script instead of Latin given their roots. There's a movement already to learn Orkhon as it's the traditional writing of the area and already developed with the sounds of the Turkic languages. (As an example, here's a Kazakh music video with subtitles in both Orkhon script and Türk alfabesi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNUE05sRwrA). As long as they are going to the trouble of switching orthographies they should make it more meaningful than simply replacing Russian influenced letters with western european ones.
It's both. The audio tracks were packaged with the installation CDs. They are no longer selling either.
Great idea. That is what we are doing with https://qbix.com/platform .

We started back in 2011, and managed to build a large open source system that anyone can install and builds apps on top of (https://github.com/Qbix/Platform).

(Video of what you can build quickly: https://vimeo.com/208438090?ref=em-v-share)

However, when I heard about solid, I reached out to Tim Berners-Lee and was interested in partnering with the solid team. Ultimately it is good if our system is just one of many that are interoperable because they all support the same protocol.

There were a couple things that needed to be added to this protocol to make it fully capable of handling our use cases, however. I like it when existing projects get together and design a protocol with everyone's voice being heard, as with oAuth with Twitter and the (sadly ignored) xAuth with Meebo back then.

So - protocols are good. But I have come to realize there is a lot of politics in this, and it's not as easy to collaborate as I had hoped.
I was thinking about that this morning and I have the hunch that the medium isn't the problem. Facebook and Twitter are perfect for micro-blogging (remember that term ?). That's what people do on these services. Yes, sometimes they have conversations with brands or are discussing a bit of politics but it quickly disappears from the rada... screen. It's all about reacting in the moment. That's not something that was ever welcomed on forums. It's not the same message. When people get back from work ? They relax on the net by chatting on FB. They want some info ? Wikipedia, SO and thousand of other communities living in a good old board are welcoming them.

Facebook, twitter, Instagram and others are just huge in our field of view because most people on the web just want to hang out and chill out. And they do that on Facebook.

People who want to have a conversation and to get back to it two or three days later are still roaming forums (HN, reddit, etc., phpboard installs, etc.) and blogs. But these formats don't need big news every 6 hours to exist.

my tired 2ç.

analogy: facebook is huge because it's getting paid to hang ads in every pub in town where people go to relax drink and socialize by er... drinking, usual boards works because it's more like my friend's attic where people go to relax drink and socialize by playing dnd but it's my friend's attic so girls aren't allowed (unless you are cool, can you geek out ?)
I wonder if there's not a way to make it more like a library type system. Ie a central pool of durable resources.

"I didn’t build up a mailing list. At one point I had almost 20,000 people subscribing via Feedburner. Imagine if I had converted half of them to email subscribers. That would have been a huge platform to work from. And email is the single most effective way of communicating with people online."

I don't get it. I'm on like 27 mailing lists from places where I bought something or had to set up an account for some reason, and the first thing I do is set up a filter that shovels their traffic into thr trash.

Why does everyone say, set up a mailing list?
Somewhere > 100GB, (or less, depending on connection speeds) sending physical media is faster.

I recently copied 2TB from one hard drive to another on the same computer and it took half a day. Trying to rsync that amount of data over the internet would take far longer than FedEx-ing a hard drive.

Even locally, it can be faster to copy data to a thumb drive, move it to the other machine, and copy it back than to send it over the network.

The problem with all of these mobile apps is you just need ONE of your contacts to upload your information, and then you're fucked. That's why I've given up trying to hide my details because they already have it. The idea that all 100% of my contacts respect my privacy is ridiculous unfortunately.

That's sometimes called having a public conversation.

Entity A makes a public statement. Entity B makes a public reply.

Public comments are reframed, misrepresented, misunderstood, and recontextualised with varying degrees of honesty and good/bad faith all the time.

I don't think anyone is going to get very far arguing that's not acceptable, because it seems like a straightforward free speech issue.

No one is yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theatre here, or calling for people of a certain race to be rounded up into concentration camps.

It's a political statement about a political statement, and in a free speech context, that's absolutely fine.

FYI, you can also instruct cloud-init to use a particular key pair by supplying it in instance metadata/user-data. This avoids the need for hacky scripts extracting public keys from console output (which may also be delayed by a few minutes after the instance starts).
Doesn't matter what jquery vs umbrella is, if you're wrong from the start then everything you're basing your argument is also misleading. Not saying jQuery doesn't have more lines, but the reasons for it aren't going to be discussed if you use helper functions as your example.
This reminds me of my early years - I started doing in web dev work in High School and was excited to be making more than minimum wage!

I started freelancing about halfway through college and quickly learned to hide the fact that I was a student, and my age in general. I recall one of my early clients that had a very distinct negative change in how he treated me after he learned that I was still in college.

I can't complain too much, though, most clients treated me well and I charged enough that I was able to graduate debt free.

No. They ARE sitting on $246B of liquidity and they CAN do with it whatever they want.

The company's short-term and long-term debt total $77B, but they can repay that over time from future profits. All other liabilities on the balance sheet are ordinary items like accounts payable and deferred revenues, and those will be fulfilled during the ordinary course of business too, without ever needing to touch a single dollar of the $246B pile.
