I get your point - we've slowly, and sometimes quite quickly, seen some of our rights eroded as a result of policies that are advertised as being anti-terrorist.

Speaking directly to this policy, though, isn't your man premise that blow oneself up is bad enough in a vacuum unsupported? Many of these videos are crafted by the terrorist organizations as a recruitment tool. Wouldn't th see organizations not create them if they didn't wield at least some power to actually recruit or radicalize? I don't think arguing that line is consistent, even if I agree that we shouldn't censor these videos.
The thing about these 'pirate libraries' that makes them seem so vital to me is they're made up of people far more motivated to preserve and keep available the documents than the actual copyright holders ever will be.

I draw comparisons to the vast value that was lost when Oink and What.cd were shut down.
My favorite is where there is a remote team and it asked for team and location. That pretty much uniquely identified everyone. I made sure to give stellar reviews and praise for all things there :-)
Not really. Wealth inequality is a problem. Income inequality not so much. Whether someone makes $100k a year, or $500k, or even $5M a year is irrelevant. In the grand scheme of things, even $500m is pocket change.

The problem is with major wealth holders, e.g. people or families with assets in excess of say $1bn, who generate disproportionate gains when held to the effort they put in.

Making $50m a year with $1bn isn't hard. I can do that. But those people don't spend that $50m in extra gains. It accumulates. And you get a massive snowball effect.

Compound interest is great and a pillar of capitalism, but past a certain point it can get problematic.

I'm not sure what "not exactly true" means, it's my personal experience of trying to run Windows 10 on my MBP. Many of the video tools I use regularly (for encoding, subtitle creation and editing, authoring, muxing, etc) are either broken or look bad. I understand that may not be mainstream use, but it certainly isn't esoteric either. You say browsers, but last I remember, Chrome didn't really support it. Now I am on Firefox, so it's proper, but that's not what most people use. Adobe software, as you said, is notorious at supporting scale. That's not esoteric either.

yeah, I’m using the screen keyboard on my iPad right now. Actually, I just dictated most of this particular response.

Once again, you haven’t used the futuristic solution so saying that you must use a keyboard seems a little premature.

if you’re walking around with a pair of Google glasses, you don’t have a keyboard there.
I wonder what you are talking about, my experience of windows remote access is that remote host even on local network sometimes just do not show up and access sometimes fails for no apparent reason with the added benefits of added vulnerabilites.

Besides plan9 and inferno are from the UNIX family and do transparent remote access way better than any windows or linux.
Have you tried the thing I'm talking about? As in, traveling through Southeast Asia for several months by yourself and hitting spells of over a week at a time where you honestly haven't spoken to another human being except to order food?

What do we do with those who thinks and is dead sure that blowing himself up in a crowd is a good idea?

We all are able to see patterns, but seeing patterns is not what solves complex problems. When doctor cuts your rotten fingers and then it happens it didn't help to save an entire arm, there is a pattern too. What does this pattern tell us? Doc wants to cut all your limbs to be sure you're not leaving his clinic, right?
I specifically omitted my own value judgement so it's amusing to see value judgements projected upon me via downvotes and snarky comments. If you think a neutral restatement of commonly trumpeted goals and their direct outcomes is a political jab then I think it says more about you than it does about me.
Also normal people who just don't want to be fed the conclusions and sanitized images from the news outlets, and want to watch the actual thing in full length, compare information from multiple opposing sources, geolocate events, timestamp them, or whatever is up to their current fancy, to be able to form their worldview themselves also have a harder time. But that's nothing new, you already have to be quick, as links have been disappearing shortly after being posted for a long time.
there is no iBeacon (not sure where you're quoting that from?), its just spatial data (lat/lons) projected into the SCNScene coordinate space (which is relative to the location and heading of the device when the ARSession starts)
The US has public radio and television without advertising as well, but instead of licensing it is funded through personal and corporate donations, together with government grants coming out of the general budget.

On a few programs you might get the host of the showing saying at the end mentioning one of the sponsors, but that's the worst it gets. The website (for radio, I don't see any on the TV website)) does have a few non-awful display ads, but streaming everything is free.

In my personal opinion this is a more progressive model - poor people don't have to pay money for public television access.
There is already suspicion that Google manipulated results for political ends: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/05/31/google_axes_eu_refe...

That's an odd viewpoint. Work hands me money, some projects are interesting others less so. But, doing a good job is enjoyable even if you don't care about the end result. Like playing a sport without paying attention to the score.

Just another keyword search suggestion like the sibling comment, but if you use DuckDuckGo as your default search engine, they have bangs so you don't need to step up keywords yourself (!g for Google, !w for Wikipedia, etc).

Yes, economics has not been very successful at making predictions with pinpoint accuracy, and yes, people might place too much faith in economic theory.

But the stark reality is that the existence of economics as an academic discipline is inevitable. Policymakers worldwide make decisions that impact billions of people and involve trillions of dollars, and it simply either isn't palatable to the public ear to proclaim they're going by intuition alone, or involve proposals so complex that our intuition just can't evaluate them - they need an academic foundation to stand on.

And that's where economists come in - they might quibble over more esoteric topics, or waver in giving specific recommendations, but there are areas where they can say what definitely won't work in the long run - for e.g. when foreign aid might work instead of foreign trade, currency manipulation, regulation of monopolies, use of state subsidies, impacts of tariffs etc. The academic consensus in areas like these are a lot stronger than the media make it seem.
This is one of the advantages to have a very strict labor law in France. This is something which cannot be enforced (should it even appear in the contract).

There are disadvantages to that law, but in average the pros > cons.
I've struggled with this question lately. However, I think our definition of 'productivity' needs more refinement.

Currently I'm working on a new startup which tries to tackle a rather hard problem (a generic document parser for invoices). Sometimes I'm stuck for days on a particular problem, and I feel like I'm not productive at all, I just stare at a blinking cursor all day.
However, in my head I'm constantly working on the problem, and one could say that the moments where I don't write code are actually the most productive, even though it does not feel that way. It's rather counter intuitive.

So I don't think there really isn't a pattern in actual productivity (at least not in my case), although there might be a pattern in how productive you feel.
Not at all. Solidity is just the most widely used language for the EVM. There are also Mutan (dead), Serpent (dying), LLL (recently revived), and Viper (being drafted).

I'd even be fine with this if it were applied equally to US politicians calling for executions and sermons threatening people with damnation.

This isn't about actual extremism though; it's simply about getting off of YouTube the things that cannot be sold for advertising dollars.
The TV license just ensures that the government doesn't hold the purse strings and therefore effectively controls it

The recent revelations of BBC presenters salaries reveals that they don't want to compete with other stations on a level playing field, but they do want to pay themselves competitive salaries. Well you can't have it both ways...

It's remarkable how libertarians can turn on a dime from insisting that the free market is the highest good to complaining about censorship by private actors. Does the irony really escape them?

If you don't like Google censoring terrorist videos start your own video hosting site. Feel free to focus on terrorist videos if you like.

If you don't like Twitter censoring extremism and hate start your own microblogging site.

See the pattern here? Stop trying to force your childish views on private actors (who have built their own platforms at enormous risk and expense) and start actually using those freedoms you claim to cherish so loudly.
Snap Inc hires team behind swiss startup strong.codes
no but it doesn't matter - none of the pages had my search terms, and they all had a different search term. It's obvious Google actively decided to return totally different pages.

for my example with the vasectomy, it's as though all the pages returned were about "sex by deception" or maybe even "rape by deception". I'm not going to do the male version so we'll never know :)
Where do you get the impression of e10s not working with the current code base? It works pretty great for me with 10+ processes and ~20 add-ons and is already enabled for ~50% of the Firefox population (though with more conservative defaults with the other half mainly blocked on add-on compatibility). There's no maintaining Firefox as it is and integrating Servo (which btw already works quite good on Nightly and webrender is also making great strides).
The Rust language actually does help immensely because it makes developing Servo and other rust components way easier. Implementing servo in C++ would have likely taken longer and would definitely have been a maintenance nightmare.

>> When relying on a lack of data/information, the only one that gets increased leverage is your employer, not you and your smart argument of "you just don't need to tell the others, boss <wink>".

This makes no sense. Why wouldn't you be able to figure out how much others are making? There's plenty of data you can gather, online and from talking to people. Just because data is not public doesn't mean no one is willing to share how much they're making.

If I'm making $50k, and I tell a new company I want $100k at a new job, there is no way that will fly if they know you're making $50k. But with opacity on salary, proper arguments and decent negotiating skills that is definitely achievable.

One example: as a consultant, I have (in the past) easily doubled and/or tripled my rate at times, just based on the setting and by negotiating well. That would never work if everything was public. And in the end, the client was extremely happy with the result + I was happy with the (way above average) increased rate.

>> Norway's tax rate is on par with other Nordic countries: high but nothing exceptional, and you get plenty of benefits (basically you get what you paid for). It's not stopping anybody from trying to make it. As a matter of fact they have one of the highest rate of millionaires per inhabitant (close to 200k for 5M).

Perhaps. But that's also because of the problematic real estate bubble in Norway and Oslo. In a country where everything is highly taxed, certain asset classes (in this case real estate) get distorted if they are taxed lower.

Add to that the reserves in their sovereign wealth fund, and you end up with many millionaires.

There's a reason why Tesla was selling a ton of cars in Denmark, and sales plummeted (down from a few hundred to 6 of 8 cars in 6 months?) when they got rid of the tax credit.

Benefits and healthcare are great and important -- I'm not saying you need super low taxes. What I'm saying is, if you don't specifically need to be in Norway to build out your business, e.g. it's something internet based, there are better countries to base yourself.

Norway is a great country to visit though. I (personally) just couldn't live there, because I don't think the model of such a society would work for me. It's great to be able to have a bottle of wine with friends in a restaurant, without having to pay €300 for your meal + drinks in an average restaurant.
I do as you do, but I use the tab groups addon and use groups instead of windows.
Where I used to work, we had someone on staff who I can only assume was unstable.

It got to the point where people couldn't doodle on a piece of paper, after she took offense at the picture that "someone drew of" her. It was a stick figure - I drew a smiley face on a scrap piece of paper, one of my colleagues thought it looked dumb without a stick figure body, so drew one on it. A few days later I came in to work and ended up in front of the CEO. Apparently, she's found this stick figure and realized that we were actually making fun of her tiny body and giant head. Came out in our favor, because our description of events lined up with with hers, once you filtered out her assumptions. (Only time that CEO actually did anything right, too.)

She eventually resigned, because we were all racist against her and just wanted her gone from the business.

I'm not sure what other events actually triggered it, but her most (loudly) cited complaint was that whenever she went into the lunch room, the "cool girls" from the other floors would stop gossiping and stare at her for a few moments, then go back to what they were doing but in more hushed tones. She believed that they were talking about her, because why else would they be talking in low tones? Thing is, these "cool girls" did this whenever anybody came into the room.

A non-disparagement agreement would be ideal in this situation, because it stops her announcing that we're all horrifically racist scum. (The really annoying part was that she was paid a lot more than we were, and did little to deserve it. In that place, though, to get a good pay rate you simply had to have breasts and whine a lot.)
20 years ago we had the "this site works best in Internet Explorer" buttons on way too many sites. Plus ça change...

That said, the site works just fine in Firefox, Edge and even IE11 too. So, if anything, the message is a sign of sloppiness in not even bothering to check.
It doesn't need to be decided in any meaningful or principled way. The metric can simply be: whatever brings in more advertising money and less trouble from people in power.

YouToube is no unbiased public service with higher moral or principled goals. It has to operate in a complicated world with many competing pressures from powerful entities.
You can work hard for 5 years, make a killing, and never work again. You need to give the people that are interested in that at least the choice.
You mentioned people who lived in times she religion was the basis of the society. I am talking about contemporary physicists (or other hard science scientists).

And this is not a matter of belief : if someone states that he is a scientist, it is not possible to be religious. Simply because these two postures are not compatible. You can be one of the other but not both.
Readability is nice, but it is not the most important thing; I think what matters more is being able to reason about whether it is correct - there's lots of ways code can look about right on a first pass while hiding subtle bugs. I do not know whether Haskell is actually superior in this regard, but it seems to be motivated by the right concerns.
strings with busted semantics (size being part of the type being a huge mistake, leading to a proliferation of types like Str255, Str32, Str31, Str64, etc). I should add that C's strings were semantically busted, too, and in more dangerous ways. No way to win :-)

I think trading some programmer inconvenience for a world with no buffer overruns would have been a good thing, in retrospect!
I learned to program with Turbo Pascal on my PC back in the early 90s. Language lite is fun.

And yet, when I clicked on this part of me was really just hoping this was referring to nvidia's Pascal architecture, a hint that maybe they were finally dropping the Radeon line and getting some decent video cards into their machines.

One can but dream I guess.

Also, if decentralized storage systems become very popular, then people will buy lesser storage space with their computers, because they expect storage space to be cheaply available online. In that case, the number of individual hosters would reduce and big companies/pools would step, making it less decentralized.
Regarding [3], are you suggesting Mozilla should sell advertising on the AwesomeBar or are you suggesting they should spy on their users to provide this feature?

What makes a URL "Top Hit"? If it is simple popularity, how do you propose Mozilla to gauge this? This problem is better punted to search engines, IMHO.
First of all, thanks for getting in touch with your users!
Hope you'll be able to extrapolate some useful info from it :)

My basic suggestion would be to keep it simple, so stay with the GNOME apps where you can.
Also it might make sense to make a distinction between what people feel is a good choice of software and which of those should be included in the default install.

IMHO stuff like and IDE, e-mail client, IRC client, messaging client, office suite and screen recording don't have to be included in the default install as long as it's easy enough for everyone to add them later (or customize during install).

Regarding specific items:
- Terminal: gnome-terminal, but if possible look into make the tabs a bit less tall and fix the search dialog so it can be closed by pressing escape

- File manager/photo viewer: nautilus, but look into fixing the preview (spacebar) so that it allows opening the preview window once and then allow navigating through all files in the chosen directory using the arrow keys

- Calendar: gnome-calender, but make sure you use gnome 3.24 or later so it support dark mode

- Screenshots: gnome-screenshot, but please fix it so it's possible to take multiple screenshots in succession. Right one has to close and open it to do so.

- Video player: Technically mpv, maybe with the gnome-mpv GUI. Though mpv might be too difficult to use for some users?

- Music player: Imho none of them is really good enough :( Elementary's noise might be at some point

I think your prediction of how things would play out is just wrong.

Employers usually have an HR team that is dedicated to knowing what the labor market looks like. They may not know exactly your previous salary, but they keep very up to date tabs on industry trends. They also know exactly how their current human resources are paid.

You know nothing except your past salary. They have more cards than you do.

Public salary means they know your past salary, but it also means you know what they pay their current employees, and can negotiate accordingly.

The only way this is not beneficial to any given employee is if they think they are a huge positive outlier.

edit bc hn limits me if I post like 3 times in short succession:

I don't think you understand the public policy implications of this.

The vast, vast majority of people aren't negotiating 20k increases. And people who are negotiating far more, like CEOs, do fine even with public information out there.

The equation here is one of giving employees more bargaining power over employers. An insignificant proportion of employees currently benefit from secrecy, and many of them aren't even sure they benefit, they just suspect they do.

If it's all "rounding errors", as you say, consider how this alters the dynamics between you and your bosses, not only between you and your peers.
