I have to say, that's a brilliant way to spin it.
I think this gets close to the meat of it, yes. TheFacebook in 2004 was still something closer to its yearbook metaphor: here's the people I met this year in college and here's what they wrote on my yearbook that year.

I guess the real emblematic touch point of the change over the years is much more from each person's "Wall" being the important push hubs of conversations to the "Wall" being subsumed by the modern "Timeline" and relegated to an annual flurry of birthday well-wishers and not much else.

That opt-in push mentality versus opt-out pull mentality is quite different: I'm going to go post this cool thing on my friend's wall BECAME I'm going to post this cool thing and maybe all of my friends might see it in their news feeds (if the algorithms deem it maybe worthy and my friends haven't muted me).

Maybe that's why "Events" still seems like one of the bright spots in Facebook? "Events" for the most part still retains a lot of an "opt-in push mentality"; for the most part you still create an event and explicitly invite friends to it. Certainly the News Feed has the pull sort of events and the "I'm Interested" interest pull buttons, but the events I really care about still follow that classic push model, and probably always will...

In TheFacebook we delegated responsibility to post things we cared about to our Walls to our friends. In Facebook we find that responsibility to curate the things we care about in our News Feeds has been delegated to algorithms and advertisers somewhat beyond our control.

When I hear neoliberal, I think "Foreign Policy" kind of people like Rosa Brooks, David Rothkopf, and others that advocate for pragmatic exercise of power and diplomacy abroad, free trade and support for trade agreements like TPP, and left-wing domestic policy.

My "all governments are bad, but government is good" leftist friend derisively calls me neoliberal for me thinking US has moral superiority over Russia, or that we should project power in any part of the world but our own. He's a good guy, though.

Here's as simple as an explanation as I could come up with in 30 seconds:

An index is a supplemental data structure that provides O(searchable) access time to another data structure that would has O(scannable) access time given particular search or filter parameters.

I don't know about the Math at Boulder, but I haven't heard much fair or negative about it. Not enough data to make any conclusions.

AMC is alright, but it's post-undergrad/grad-school only, so anything you hear has that flavor added. Lots of med-y students though, few researchers in small labs (<3 grad students/PI).

CU-CS? No idea, never talked to anyone that graduated there or is there now. Guess that means it's not super good or super bad then, again, not enough data.

> what do we call Jersey

What complexity? It's just a new frontend for the complex tiered interpreter-and-JIT-compiler monstrosities that JS engines have.

A massively simpler frontend than JS itself — it's closer to, well, assembly :) while JS is a dynamic language.

What we get in return is very very close to native execution speed for all the performance-sensitive things you might want to run on a computer — game engines, crypto, compression, codecs, etc. — in a sandboxed and portable way. One executable for everything from the typical Windows/amd64 desktop to your NetBSD/mips toaster, potentially.

Windows Backup vs. Paid Backup Solution – What Should I Use?
It sounds like what you're really asking is this ...

There are some websites whose primary business model is providing content in exchange for something: a subscription fee, or advertising eyeballs. They have a very strong financial interest in your not scraping their content and providing it to others on different terms.

There are other websites who make some content available and explicitly authorize people to use it: various datasets and RSS feeds and such.

And then there is a wide swath of websites that have adopted generic TOS that prohibit scraping, or they prohibit it because they haven't given it much thought and can't think of any particular reason off the top of their heads to permit it.

So what you really want to know is what sites in the third category would consider a sensible scraping policy, if they had to give it sufficient thought.

In other words, if they don't just default to a prohibition because it's already in a TOS template or because they haven't thought it through, what's the rationale for either blocking or not blocking scrapers?
Thank you for building this. I have been wanting to build something like this for myself for some time. I'll check it out and see what I like for sure!
So, they have a problem paying $15/hour while claiming to pay better than average and talking about how harmful this was to live-in caregivers. I am reminded of the recent story on HN about a family that had a slave.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14350059

These guys are too busy trying to figure out how to get rich to take care of their grandmother themselves. Instead, they want to pay people a pittance to do it for them and then whine about how hard it is to find good care givers.

As I said in the discussion about "My Family's Slave," it tends to not work well to pay people to care. That tends to result in paying people to pretend to care.

But, the other side to that is that expecting people to care while you don't care enough about their welfare to make sure they get paid adequately and get adequate time off, etc. is just incredibly broken. It is a horrible form of hypocrisy that has little hope of failing to become abusive.

This is often a gendered issue. Women often do "caring" work and then no one wants to pay them.

On the one hand, I would like to see more marketplaces with 1099 employees that actually work well. On the other hand, I have trouble feeling like this was not an exploitative and ugly model. Why didn't you just go take care of your grandmother yourself instead of creating an entire business to avoid having to do the caring work she required?

Caring about money above all else makes for a poor boss. Or relative.
> Fox and Breitbart have both lost key leaders due to death. (and other causes) They are both rapidly transitioning to the views of typical reporters (journalism majors), which will soon put them on the left.

Viewpoints are set by media owners, not line workers, and the entire corporate media has a corporatist conservative pro-capital bias.

To the extent that ends up sometimes favoring Democrats, well, the dominant faction of the Democratic Party for several decades (since the 1990s, at a minimum) has been corporate capitalist conservatives.

Anyhow, Fox and Breitbart aren't moving into the left or even getting closer to centerpoint of the mainstream corporate media; they just aren't moving further to the Right as fast as the Republican Party is.
I know a couple people who do. Bear in mind that "neoliberalism-the-theory", while not perfect, was a well-intentioned set of ideas and is pretty different from "neoliberalism-the-reality", which is pretty much synonymous with globalized crony capitalism.

(This isn't just a neoliberalism thing: any political philosophy will be different in theory than when it has to meet the real world. Neoliberalism got bit by this harder than most because it actually did "take over the world" and, admittedly, because it pretty much sows the seeds of cronyism in its fundamental principles)

Long story short, it could've been a good idea but it went badly wrong, and there are some people who are trying to figure out a way to have just the good bits.
I can't comment on the "never been infected" claim, but the AS/400 does have an unusual architecture based on something
called "capabilities" that provide support for objects and protection in the hardware (actually, the microcode). Then the OS is built on that. There is a detailed explanation of how this works in the AS/400 ancestor System/38

PS - According to the Wikipedia article on System/38, IBM removed the capability-based addressing from the AS/400.

I think Giants fans would treat their players better if the team was 11 games over .500 instead of under and if their best reliever wasn't league average. I'm not saying all fans are rational, many are emotional/ignorant and act on perceived performance rather than real performance. Don't know much about Strickland's career, but if he was perfect with a 3 run lead but awful with a 1 run lead, it makes sense why fans wouldn't be thrilled despite the underlying stats. But most do care about performance, and they won't pretend like Schwarber has been good this year. His popularity is heavily reliant on his past performance, including the World Series.

I suspect spilk is referring to concerns Apple will probably have had internally about rival payment platforms using the iPhone NFC hardware to process payments instead of Apple Pay. I'd be extremely surprised if debates about this didn't come up when they were deciding how to build the public API for the feature, and is probably a huge factor in the API being read only and not supporting card emulation, for now.
I'm actually one of the few percent of Pinterest users that are men, and I have used it for years for exactly those kinds of things: recipes, fashion (to some extent) and interior design. But these days I'm finding that it's much easier to just use the rest of the web. There's so much spam, and noise, repeated crap, and things which make nice pictures that would never work in real life.

What I have no idea about is how Pinterest will make money. Ultimately, Twitter could continue for years without making money, and there are a number of things they can charge for (larger tweets, a Pro service, tweet pipeline, user data, faster access to Tweets) (perhaps sell Trump's tweets to HFT firms, 500ms before the rest of the world sees them?) Meanwhile, Pinterest is full of shitty ads if you turn off your uBlock, and the only other revenue stream I can think of is Amazon affiliate stuff, which has probably dried up now that Amazon turned off that pipe.

> has failed to consider these fairly obvious principles

No, but I think that those spreading these kinds of reports are intentionally masking the way that they are meant to be used in intelligence circles. This happened during the buildup to the Iraq war also.

My point is that the reports make those leaps intentionally in order to support higher order analysis. They are not meant to be taken as a distillation of all of the available intel.

> you can never be convinced of Russia's involvement

Not at all. But your use of the word "involvement" is a great example of insinuation. What does "involvement" mean in this case? I'll take a stab at it:

- Russia is a geopolitical adversary to the US (check)

- Russia and the US are engaged in a proxy war on several fronts and have been for decades (check)

- Russia and the US both undertake various mischief campaigns against each other and have since the cold war (check)

- Russia and the US both have at least two distinct offensive and defensive capabilities... one being cyber "warfare" and another being cyber "mischief". (check and check)

I agree on all of the above. I think many of the people who are up in arms about the Russia story did not believe the above until quite recently, yet it has been the case for a long time.

The appropriate analysis is to consider whether Russia actually thought it would impact the outcome of the US election, or if it intended to merely create mischief and chaos/mistrust. Clearly the latter is true per the history between the two nations and is consistent with the ongoing mischief campaign.

A deliberate effort to hack election machines, trigger power failures in hospitals, or any variety of more severe attacks crosses the line from "cyber mischief" into "cyber warfare".

What we're seeing is the anti-Russia hawks seizing upon the mischief and trying to make it seem like a cause for war. Don't forget that many have been vehemently trying to get the US to use force against Russia for quite some time.

Thus, the key evidence that is needed to escalate Russia's "involvement" from routine mischief and turn it into something akin to "warfare" is the hard evidence of intent to harm infrastructure.

While spear phishing voting machine companies may signal intent to conduct a Stuxnet style attack on US electronic voting machines, is spear phishing really a nation-state level attack approach?

Clearly, unless "The Russians" had far better predictive models than American statisticians, it would have been utterly foolish to undertake an attack that would personally tick off the sure-thing presidential candidate.

So I think that proof entails both a clear delineation of what sort of behavior/mischief is actually abnormal or asymmetric, and the notion of what constitutes proof of intent to escalate.
This is the reason the robots.txt was created, to tell web scrapers and people building them, what is off limits.

Of course there are people building services that scrape certain sites that appear to be off limits to you.

Those people scraping sites that are explicitly prohibited either:

a. are breaking the rules, potentially the law if it's explicitly prohibited in a ToS, and will eventually have to deal with getting banned, or sued. It's quite a gray area legally but here are some laws that could be used against you:

Violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA).
Violation of California Penal Code.
Violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
Breach of contract.
Trespass.
Misappropriation.
Source: Linkedin v. Doe Defendants

b. have an agreement with the website owners allowing them to scrape certain portions of their site.

c. scraping data with no rules concerning it.

For example, Facebook.
has a ToS for scraping:
https://www.facebook.com/apps/site_scraping_tos_terms.php
At the bottom there is a form for those that want to get permission to scrape the site.
And their robots.txt is heavily used to control crawlers with User-Agents they know. http://facebook.com/robots.txt

It's rare you would run into legal issues, but possible. The question is whether it's morally okay for you to scrape any data you want.

I'm not a fan of most landlords but they do provide a service. They're legally on the hook for paying property taxes, making sure the home is up to code, maintaining the grounds and the structure, paying utilities in many cases, carrying various forms of insurance, etc. Sometimes they acquire distressed assets and remodel to add homes back to the supply.

They generally own the property because they've shown they have assets and good credit. The bulk of people that rent have very little assets - so little that the only way they could have decent housing is to rent from the evil landlords. Or move to some non-capitalist country.
> 1099 workers also get to expense a lot more stuff from their taxes than employees

Correct. As of 2012, deductible expenses can include health insurance premiums, office supplies, auto and travel expenses, a portion of home rent or mortgage payments, and a portion of utility costs.

IANAL/B yes, the HomeHero 1099 caregivers could've reduced their taxable income by rightfully claiming auto and travel expenses to and from the client, and if they were using their residence to do extra work for client (like research or preparing food etc, then they can also deduct business / home-office expenses.
