> Legos are usually limited to one or two predefined models.

Eh, you can always just take it apart and build what you want or just build what you want form the get and throw the instructions out. I did this for years as a child and have done it for years as an adult.

Think of it as buying a set of pieces you can use build anything you want with (including combining with other sets to build bigger/other stuff), but it comes with instructions to build something very cool using just those pieces.

On a side note, LEGO does sell boxes of basic pieces with multiple instructions sets included that only utilize a small portion of the whole box.
I don't think this is apples to apples, because ChromeOS tries as best it can to make the browser the entire OS, with any remaining Linux components abstracted away. So I wouldn't necessarily consider it anti-competitive that a Chromebook can only run Chrome, anymore than I would it consider anti-competitive that a Nintendo Switch can only run Nintendo Switch games.

But to strictly answer your question, the Chromebook does allow you to turn on developer mode, where you could then install a Debian/Ubuntu chroot via crouton, on which you could then install Firefox. So in a word, yes.
As far as I am aware the ethanol is only part of the missing taste. (I think other flavours are created in the same process and during storage.)

But anyway my point still stands: I'd still drink beer if didn't get drunk. Actually I think I would drink more beer then.
Those Chen articles hit close to home when I read them, because I've had to verify and act on child pornography complaints at a hosting service. Almost eight years later, I still have nightmares about the (thankfully) little I've seen. When I got into hosting I didn't realize dealing with stuff like that is table stakes; that was my first, and last, hosting employment, but I'll carry that aspect until I die.

That experience really makes me feel bad for the 3,000 new hires, honestly. I couldn't imagine moderating the human condition, which one could argue Facebook basically is. They'd better not clean out Adecco, and actually pay those people with the long-term damage of the job in mind, but that won't happen. Would actually make for a good union...
That's why I can't take any gun rights advocate seriously.
In many places in the western world, facebook users are some 90 percent of everybody in a certain age group. So if it says anything about Facebook users, it says something about everybody.

Facebook is approaching 2B users. Let's say that every 1/1,000 users per day posts something that somebody else flags or which the system flags because of the words used. Then it's some 2M posts or comments that are flagged.

Facebook currently has 4,500 in the community operations departments ("moderators"). Each moderator then has to screen around 450 posts, which is difficult in an 8 hour shift. So obviously, that's not the way it works. They surely have algorithms that sort flagged posts with higher priority; more people flagging means it's more urgent, certain profiles are more urgent, for example people who have used violent language before, users with certain friends are more urgent, users at a certain age are more urgent, certain hours of the day are more urgent, post with certain words associated with violence or suicide are more urgent than posts with racist or sexist slurs or nude material etc.

But even if they correctly identify a threatening suicide or hate crime, how do they prevent it? Shutting down a live video is one way, but contacting authorities would probably also be necessary. How do you do that when your users are spread over 100,000 different jurisdictions? It's a big task.
Thank you & especially thanks for the work on the vector tile format - so much in love with it and the possibilities that come along! Cheers!
You would think this, but as a counter example Xbox (back in the 360 days) had a "report gamertag as offensive" (aka offensive username).

Users could pay $ to change their gamertag (~$10).

It was fairly common to see people publically asking "please report my name as offensive" as it was known that if you got enough reports, you would be "forced" to change your name for free. People who wanted to change their name anyway would solicit reports against themselves to avoid a $10 fee.

Clearly no human was reviewing these reports... and that was a paid service!
There's a good chance it is since they worked with the group trying to DRM everything. The NSA was also in that group likely trying to simultaneously secure and backdoor everything. A built-in backdoor sold as a business benefit that you can't turn off at all from a defense contractor in a police state is already 90% to being malicious just by nature of the situation. So, assume it is at least for the local police state and their partners.

Now, if that's not in your threat model, then you'll probably be fine using it unless foreign adversaries are in your threat model. And the rabbit hole of how threatening are live backdoors on your network just goes on from there.

There's at least calls to remove SIGINT agency from TCG:

This can't come fast enough! I am still pretty new to .NET Standard and how .NET Core and Framework play together, but it's frustrating trying to use a .NET Core class library in a Windows service as of today. :(

Don't worry; now that Trump has turned out to be just another shill for Globalism, Facebook will have no problem with him or anybody who continues to support him.
Is it true that violence is physical, by definition?

It is one definition, but there are other more abstract definitions that mean "an unjust exertion of force or power", "rough or immoderate vehemence, as of feeling or language", "damage through distortion", etc.

For example, the phrase "violent scolding" is stuck in my mind from a fairy tale I read as a child, and indeed, if you search Google Books for that phrase, you'll see many examples dating back to at least the 1800s, examples that do not mean physical violence.

So, I don't think it's some new redefinition of violence to use it more abstractly. I think of it similar to the term abuse. Sure, abuse often means a physical act, but it often means verbal/emotional acts.
Unless there's a dedicated bike lane, it makes more sense to cycle on the sidewalks than the road (if the road speed limit is 35mph+)

A cyclist has the same protection from injury in an accident with a car as a pedestrian, but the pedestrian is far less likely to be injured by a bike than a car (if there is an accident)
The thing that I've found that motivates me the most long term is to work on problems that I think are important to work on. Working on challenging problems is great, and motivating for a while (few years), but ultimately I need to work on something that I think makes a difference in the world. Also something where I think that my skills can uniquely make a difference to the problem, but that by itself is not sufficient.

I'll still get frustrated and demotivated at times, but I will come back to it with a feeling that I am at least trying to work on something important and challenging even when things don't go right or they get particularly hard.

As an example, I spent a few years working on ASIC design for high def video encoding and decoding (HD-DVD and Blu-Ray). Super interesting and challenging. Wow I don't care about it's impact on the world though.
Even iOS lets you change your search engine.

Maybe I got my terminology wrong. I'm talking about the wave of new standards. I feel like they're a bunch of new languages which are improvements over C++ but not backwards compatible with C++. Every problem you have interoperating two different languages you have between these different C++es but worse because there aren't tools like SWIG to help you.
Exactly, and this is why fists need to be highly regulated by the government. I propose mandating that everyone have their hands surgically altered so that they're unable to make fists, and can only close their fingers partway.
For those that are surprised that it's "so expensive", LEGO is usually very expensive (and totally worth it.) This is only 119 euros/dollars (same for both) and I know I'll be buying it both for myself and as a gift for my best friend (unless she gets it for herself first.)

LEGO sets have an average price per piece of around 10 cents, which has been pretty stable since the late 70s [0]. With 1969 pieces (which is a fantastic number) you'd expect the set to cost $216.59 at the current average of 11 cents per piece, so this is a fantastic deal.

It's also a meter high (about 3 foot 4 for the Americans) which is really fantastic.

The community of glass artists I'm in has sold tons on facebook over the last few years. FB has always let you sell in Groups, and unlike many online venues, has zero problem with art glass pipes. It was the #1 place to sell online 2011-2013, then the community switched to Instagram. Instagram has since been the #1 place where people hold auctions and sell glass since then, and that's from $10 pendants to $500 tubes and up to $10, 20, 30k pieces.

So, to sell on FB, you say hey, i have this piece for $300, here's pics, I take paypal.
Microsoft seemed to imply that it was "Streamlined" but I don't think it's official.
One of the issue with cashless is that banks/financial service provided making money of of the money i.e. $100 making more than $100 with out adding any real value in fees (100 time circulation). I know time is money in most western countries but my place we do one crop a year and sit idle for 9 months. So time is not a money and we would rather give cash to a person get that much worth of a product.

E.g. My sons school charges 2% extra if i use credit card, Rs 20 if i use netbank and does not accept cash. So on a Saturday i am happy pay in cash when i have nothing else to do.

Unless government makes the transfer without fee (now they can print less money and that cost can be used for this infra of transfer), why is cashless better in the scenario where that saved time is not used for anything value generating?

Genuinely looking for answers to this that makes sense rather than saying time is money.

1. That this "moderation" is probably not a very good thing

2. In other countries are already highly intransparent and opaque organizations like "correctiv" involved in these "fact checking" and "counter news" operations. https://correctiv.org/en/

3. To make things worse, people (like Soros) donate money to these organizations that have their own agenda.

That's a fair point. You could do that.

Azure does have auto-off today but it still doesn't make it easy to change that time per-day. It also doesn't have auto-start. You can also group VMs between resource groups and subscriptions since we flatten all the VMs across cloud providers, regions & resource groups.

> I think that majority of people will solve it with finding a new job or maybe take a vacation. But, this is all about long term solutions.

Oh, wait, you're saying that a new job or going on vacation is a "long term solution" ?? No, sorry, that's really a short term solution.

You're asking for even SHORTER TERM solutions? Get drunk.

Long term but pithy answer: Love and Exercise. Make serious time for taking care of your body and connecting with others in your life. You'll feel better. Seriously.
Twilio has a better consumer facing package. And it's in a really good place right now with brand name. If they leverage this well, they should be able to cement the market with enterprise just as well as they've done with smaller companies.

That's an article about how Siemens offers internships to high school graduates, so unless you don't count internships as jobs, there is at least one loophole in that statement.

Clearly Siemens sets high standards for who they want to hire and attempts to use college degrees as a filtering mechanism. But the entire article is about how trainable the workforce needs to be, and starts by talking about how high school graduates are flunking basic math skills needed.

You can learn anywhere. There is nothing special about university for the vast majority of people to learn there.

Fortunately thanks to the internet it's easier than ever to learn technical skills today, if you have any sort of work ethic and desire.
You are describing the past. That work is already done. All of these "community moderation" jobs at big companies are just checking the AI's work. If you have a billion posts an hour you're not hand triaging that with a team of 4500 people.

I think that's part of the problem, Varoufakis is intelligent and an economist, yes, but really not a diplomat, and his job here as Greece's main negotiator was more a diplomat's than an economist's job. He was very naive, as his book somewhat admits, about how EU politics work (and to some extent about Greek politics as well, where he assumed Tsipras was on the same page as he was).

Stathis Kouvelakis, a member of Syriza's Left Platform faction that later split from the party, had this criticism [1] about both Varoufakis and his successor Tsakalotos (another economics professor), which I think has some truth to it:

Tsakalotos said he was very disappointed by the low level of the discussion. In the interview to the New Statesman, Varoufakis says very similar things about his own experience, although his style is clearly more confrontational than Tsakalotos's. From this it is quite clear that these people were expecting the confrontation with the EU to happen along the lines of an academic conference when you go with a nice paper and you expect a kind of nice counter-paper to be presented. I think this is telling about what the Left is about today. The Left is filled with lots of people who are well-meaning, but who are totally impotent on the field of real politics.

They haven't started selling. This is in response to the failed attempt you mentioned for federal government to give control of the land to the states.

However, that was a bill in Congress that withdrawn after a very bipartisan outcry. This issue has brought together hunters, sportsmen, and snowmobilers on the right with environmentalists on the left.

The concern is that once the states have control, they will simply sell off most of it (as the article show precedent for).
Small persistent holistic steps in the direction you want your life to move.

If you want more money look at where you can save money (not eating out, buying generic products, etc.) and things you might be able to do on the side to earn more.

Or if you rather start applying for jobs and seeing what else is out there. You don't have to find a job today, just start looking.

If you want to have more energy find an exercise routine that works for you and start eating more vegetables and less sugar/bread. Take time to meditate or at least relax and clear your head. It's likely there's something buried in your head that is causing you to be demotivated.

If it's your perspective that needs tuning work on rewiring your brain. Stuff like replacing "this is hard" with "this will take time" or learning to be okay with being wrong/weak and asking for help when you need it.

If your work isn't fulfilling maybe talk with your co-workers or supervisor to see what can be done to make it better. If that's not realistic, maybe your job actually does suck and you need to go back to the first paragraph.

For me personally, I find setting aside time to untangle my brain helps the most. Sitting someplace and working on a posture or breathing exercise and really just putting some distance between me and my problems for a little while.

Usually after that my problems seem much smaller and more manageable.
Can you elaborate on the second sentence? Any source?

If those locations were deemed "cool" by the trendy and trend seeking zeitgeist they would suddenly be doing well. It's often perception and cultural attention that drives interest in an area, you can see many examples of this in the western states.
"...except if you're wearing a backpack..."

Tangential, but as a long-distance touring cyclist, it always saddens me to see riders with large backpacks, especially in hot weather. I know that a rack and a pannier did not come standard with the bike, but those riders would have a much better experience if they used panniers!

It allows more airflow, but more importantly, it takes the weight off your body and puts it on the bike.

>Downsides like mass shootings that would be difficult to accomplish without easy access to firearms.

They were easy to accomplish because they targeted places that they knew for sure where the people would be unarmed, our laws ensured it. An attempt against local gun club or police station is not going to succeed, is it?

People who want commit crimes don't care if the guns they use were acquired legally. They can acquire a gun from black market. And just like with drugs, making it illegal ensures that there would be a thriving black market.

We made those events possible by making gun-free zones.

I hope we collectively would come to senses and trust our fellow human being, instead of treating everyone as psychopathic criminal.

>Downsides like deaths caused by accidents with firearms.

Less than 600 deaths in 2013. but 16,000 deaths related to Ibuprofen.
You may say one accident is too many. I would say one person stopped by us collectively from protecting themselves against an aggressor is one too many.

You are thinking about group. I care about individual. And Gun Access must be looked at through individual rights lens.

> Another point is that even carrying a firearm isn't protection against an unexpected attack.

I am not asking for complete guarantee of safety against attack. BTW, do you think cops can provide that?

I am asking for opportunity to defend myself without being preemptively disarmed, that's all.

People launch startups knowing that most will fail. They appreciate the opportunity to try.

Gun Access is an opportunity to try, if you want to take it, no one is forcing it on you, just like no one is forcing everyone to launch a startup.

One may feel secure in capabilities of police to keep them safe. One may feel secure in corporate job instead of a startup. But, one must have an option to start a startup if one so desires. One must have an option to defend oneself with guns, if one so desires.

> These reviewers will also help us get better at removing things we don't allow on Facebook like hate speech and child exploitation. And we'll keep working with local community groups and law enforcement who are in the best position to help someone if they need it -- either because they're about to harm themselves, or because they're in danger from someone else.

The workers aren't there to be a basis for machine learning (though that is a nice benefit). They are there to communicate with local community groups / law enforcement on an ongoing basis.

It is interesting to note that Varoufakis worked with Valve on the in-game economical systems for Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive before he got pouched by Greece.
His blog posts are really interesting.

Those in the know about the economies in the mentioned games should agree that Valve probably got a good return on his paycheck.
I don't see how its a cpu issue. The router definitely isn't sending every packet but some kind of aggregate already whether by port or something. My guess is that the upstream service just have the map from the aggregate to app (dropbox or whatever). Now this allows them up update the mapping as apps change or add new app tracking but that can be easily done through a firmware update if they really want to.

I don't disagree that this might make it easier for them to support the feature but definitely not essential. If it wasn't the culture of sending things out as much this would have been designed differently.
I thought the Ragel stuff was back in.
