It's worth noting for future reference that in terms of supervised learning of labels given a text document input, fasttext (https://github.com/facebookresearch/fastText) is leagues ahead of conventional approaches in both accuracy and training speed, and there is a Python interface (https://github.com/salestock/fastText.py) for use with Django/Flask (unfortunately, recent fasttext changes have broken the interface for now).

The simplest way to perform a batch insert is by using an INSERT statement with many rows in the VALUES clause. E.g.,

INSERT INTO table (columns...)

An alternative and potentially faster method is using the COPY FROM statement.

Privacy is required for secrecy, but secrecy may not (per the upthread distinction) always come along with for privacy. (Though I think the second part is dubious; yes, you have an idea of what I might be doing in the bathroom, but you don't actually know and moreover you don't know exactly what I look like doing it, and that is because privacy always requires some measure of secrecy.)

> Secrets do not hinder transparency.

Sure, they do. Secrets on matters that aren't the subject of concern don't hinder transparency on the subject of concern, but that's not because secrets don't hurt transparency but because the specific secrets at issue are outside of the area where you are looking for transparency.

They're pretty common for me, but how are advanced usage and using a CLI related? These seem orthogonal to me.
For context: Amazon Cloud Drive is a Google Drive/Dropbox analog, except that it provides "unlimited" storage space and bandwidth for $5/month. The built-in user interface requires you to manually upload/download files through a web browser, but the service also supports an API for programmatic access. So tools like rclone and acd_cli were developed to let you do bulk transfers and/or mount your storage as a network filesystem, optionally with encryption (which defeats any attempts Amazon might try to use for deduplication).

Now Amazon is suffering the obvious consequence of offering unlimited storage: people are using it to store tens of terabytes of media and/or backups at very low cost. In an attempt to kill off heavy users, they shut down registration of new API keys several months ago, and now they're systematically revoking the API keys used by popular open-source tools.
That's fine until it falls on your house. Same issue with flying cars.

I loathe Facebook, and I appreciate the author putting as much effort into warning about it as he once put into endorsing it.

But Facebook has Ne10 users. I suspect this kind of blowing in the wind has the perverse effect of (edit normalizing this by) raising awareness of a problem that people are going to continue not changing (but knowingly). It's a kind of cognitive dissonance that seems (IMHO) to be one of America's main manufactures these days.

To be fair, its not easy. You would need:

- Some kind of informed consent (because quitting)

- Separation of space (to prevent jealousy)

- A good way to measure programmer skill (this one's harder)

- A lack of unquestioned dogma that open plan is better

It's not as easy as you make it out to be, but either big G or Fbook could probably do it, given the will (which i suspect is the actual problem).

If we take into account how these deportations usually proceeded and what surrounded them then you can count also on murders, including torturing to death and dying due to extremely inhuman conditions. But this is not important because it would still be genocide without all of it.

Genocide is not killing of people but killing a génos (nation, race, religious group etc).

As the author of the term Raphael Lemkin put

>Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim
of annihilating the groups themselves. The objectives of such a plan would be the disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups.

So yes, what happened to the Ingrian Finns was a genocide.

Every time you go to a website with the Facebook like button, they see your IP address and the website you're on. Go to enough websites from that IP address and they can get a good idea of what you like. In addition, it is very easy to get your real address from your IP address, or at least your general area. Combining these gives them a good idea of who you are.
Is there any study that shows that adding distractions to people and removing personal privacy makes them more productive and/or lowers stress hormones?

For example:

>...In 2011, the organizational psychologist Matthew Davis reviewed more than a hundred studies about office environments. He found that, though open offices often fostered a symbolic sense of organizational mission, making employees feel like part of a more laid-back, innovative enterprise, they were damaging to the workers’ attention spans, productivity, creative thinking, and satisfaction.

Make sure you ask for a ceiling as well. I asked for a small office and I got one. It doesn't have ceiling because my boss didn't want to put one, for whatever reason, so it is useless.
Technically Facebook can by using the requests your browser sends for their ubiquitous sharing widgets on many websites. Your browser very probably has a unique fingerprint¹, so you might want to block those widgets as well (Privacy Badger does this).

Because Facebook's profits come from advertising and that understanding our browser habits is a requirement for their core business, it is not too far-fetched to believe that they track non-users as well.

Hey look, a security crisis that can only be fixed by requiring that we prove our devices are functional, most likely by turning them on, logging in, and showing that there are a few documents present. And in some cases, extra manual evaluation will be required, entailing taking that logged-in laptop into a back room for further inspection. They won't copy everything onto a disk of their own---honest!

Facebook has 1.13 billion dailies, and 1,800 potential daily revenge porn incidents: 1 in 627,777. Involving children, about 1 per day.. 1 in 1.13 billion?

Is flooded the right word to describe that? It actually seems pretty low to me.
From the discussion at

https://www.reddit.com/r/crypto/comments/61zupq/amazon_drive...

I learned that Amazon Drive is a service that provides unlimited storage for a fixed cost, and that various applications, including rclone, use it for an application that I would expect (as a developer) to use S3 for, and therefore to charge my users per amount of data stored. (Amazon Drive is not part of AWS, I believe.)

I am not extremely surprised that the terms of service of Amazon Drive make it hard to build a compliant application like what rclone is trying to build. I'd expect they can do this with S3 straightforwardly -- at the expense of users needing to spend O(n) instead of O(1) on their data.

A better and more holistic approach, IMO, which I use with Firefox (sorry, I don't use Chrome as often, and in my limited experience I haven't seen it having as many extensions), is to use FB with these browser extensions:

1. Privacy Badger (from EFF)

2. Clean Links (removes all the redirect links from several sites, including FB)

3. Self-Destructing Cookies (destroys cookies when tabs of a particular site are all closed; default time to delete after tab closure is 10 seconds, which I reduce on my installations)

4. uBlock Origin (blocks ads and trackers)

5. BetterPrivacy (deletes "super-cookies" from things like Flash)

I don't use Ghostery because its business model depends on advertisers. Same goes for Adblock and its cousins too.

Even with all of the above, FB may still be able to track because there are many ways apart from cookies to do it. There could be browser fingerprinting [1] using various other indicators.

$5/month for unlimited access via API was really a steal. This would buy you only 217 GB via standard S3 storage, and then you'd have to pay an exorbitant $0.090 per GB for egress data transfer; you'd burn through your $5 after downloading 55 GB.

I think one of my best working environments had two pods of 4 people each in one closed off room. One pod had developers and the other had non developers (project leaders, DBAs, etc.) It combined just the right amount of togetherness and separate space and worked wonderfully!

Another great environment was inside an old bank vault. Me and one other developer. No windows, two doors, lights down low, thumping techno music. Ah, bliss...
In a comment of mine earlier this week [1], I (along with others) speculated whether the shipping of OAuth2 secrets was the reason for the ban, and whether they're other contributing, strategic factors. I wrote:

Amazon has revoked rclone's OAuth2 API key. However, consider that rclone's default OAuth2 client id and secret are compiled into the rclone executable, and thus effectively public; aka. anyone can extract them and pretend to be rclone, and fool users into obtaining access and abuse them for unrelated purposes.

A far better option is for the cloud provider to let users generate their own OAuth2 clients, such as Google does (and supposedly Microsoft, although for me it's always errored out). Unfortunately, Amazon has a "call us" style of Developer access, which effectively translates to no new API access being granted to these types of users.

The speculation around the web is that Amazon also wanted to shut this down because they offered "unlimited" storage, and people were using it to store very large amounts of hard-to-compress, hard-to-dedup data. Breaking a popular tool used to accomplish this (e.g. it supported on-the-fly encryption, producing the exact style of difficult data) will cause some portion of less profitable users to migrate elsewhere. This may or may not be true, but it's certainly an intriguing point.

Some companies like Google allow easy registration of OAuth2 clients, so any rclone user can make their own API keys at console.developers.google.com and feed those to rclone, instead of having to use the built-in credential. Rclone's documentation refers to this ability, but positions it as a performance improvement for advanced users to sidestep a shared rclone-wide quota, rather than for any other purpose.

However, it, unlike many, many other applications, at least lets you plug in your own credential -- this shouldn't be an exotic flow, but rather the normal way to grant access to a third-party application, instead of distributing a hardcoded secret. Sadly, the app developer community has been slow to realize and demand this, and providers have been slow to implement it. Google lets you register as many applications as you want; GitHub even lets you make your own OAuth2 scopes. But there's few others who come close.

FYI, you can have tree-threaded conversations in email too. Thunderbird has pretty good support for it, which is why I use it for mailing lists.

The only reason more people don't know about this is that support for it has always been poor at best in Outlook, which is what most of the world uses as their email client.

In Thunderbird the option is View > Sort By > Threaded, which you need to set per folder (it's off by default). I set up filters so I have one folder per mailing list.

This is not the same as Outlook's group-by-conversation feature, which is based on subject lines. It is full tree-threading based on the in-reply-to header, same as Usenet.

At our place, we put a redirect on the front end networking device that detected if a browser couldn't support more modern encryption protocols, and sent them to an HTTP information page (instead of to the application itself) if so. This allowed us to update the core app to force newer protocols, while still providing some sort of UX for those left behind. We used Piwik to track the hits on the redirect page to get a sense for how many users were left behind.

Anecdotes are the best you're going to get on that. Who's going to fund a serious scientific study on the effects of mechanical keyboards on RSI? The mechanical keyboard makers comprise a very small, niche industry these days.

The anecdotes are correct: with a proper mechanical keyboard, you don't have to bottom out on the keys, and only have to press enough to make them click. Once you retrain yourself to do that, then you're putting a lot less stress on your fingers, compared to rubber-dome keyboards where you're forced to mash the keys down until they bottom out.
Cases heard on the merits with decisions were probably heard before Gorsuch was on the court, which is why he won't be part of the decision.

Yeah, so what's the problem with that? If lenders don't like it, they shouldn't be lending out easy money for degrees that aren't going to result in the student paying the loan back within 5 years.

Also (you might like this proposal better), it would make sense for bankruptcy law to have a provision for student loans that you can't declare bankruptcy to dodge the loans within 5 years of graduation. Then only students with little hope of repaying the loans, and who have likely already defaulted, will actually declare bankruptcy.

The end effect I'm looking for is for lenders to think twice before lending money for student loans.
