> So it’s hard to argue that a service which is scraping LinkedIn is doing it without knowledge that they are going against LinkedIn’s wishes.

As far as I can tell, no one has made that argument, so I'm not sure why you feel the need to rebut it.

I think it all pretty much boils down to this quote from the article:

> LinkedIn's position disturbs Orin Kerr, a legal scholar at George Washington University. "You can't publish to the world and then say 'no, you can't look at it,'" Kerr told Ars.
Yes, it still is.

I began learning Dvorak in 2002, switched to it full-time since 2004, and never looked back. The full-time usage was painfully slow for the first ~2 months. After overcoming the initial hurdle, I enjoy the smooth key sequences and the higher proportion of hits on the home row. I have a longer report here: https://www.nayuki.io/page/i-type-in-dvorak
Westinghouse built something like 25% of all nuclear reactors worldwide. That they are failing for just 4 more reactors is a bit shocking to me, honestly, and I would not have expected it.

If it takes 10 years to plan and build a new reactor, I simply can't see the point of trying it in 2020. Sizing our solar and wind resources to cover our needs during seasonal lows, building HVDC, and adding storage at 2030 prices seems like a far smarter move economically.

Unless there are improvements that halve the cost of nuclear, and make it so that it's only a $1B gamble instead of a $10B gamble, I simply can't see why anybody would put up capital. There are lots of government backed loans on these things, but even then it's going to be a hard sell to investors. Everybody has been burned by these projects.
I've used the Scott and Hiker models as my winter shoes for 5 years now. Walking 2-6 miles daily in Montana winters. Disliked the Hiker, the molding between the sole and the top was flimsy, the Scott is much better IMO but ice-salt will wreck their appearance if your don't take care of them. They can't handle smooth ice, but neither do most regular shoes without some assistance anyways.
If a recording of the interview could be provided I think that would be best.

I think gathering enough trust where people start accepting these dossiers as fact will take a long time unfortunately. But if you have a recording of the interview, I would be able to say a lot more definitively whether I liked the candidate or not. And as my opinions aligned with your dossiers, I'd trust your opinions more.

So by your own admission, you're advocating hiring a female CEO based on a probabilistic argument that females tend to make the workplace more female-friendly. Isn't this akin to saying that the US Department of Education should hire an Asian leader because the US is bad at math and science, and Asians have been shown to be generally better at math and science?
I worked at Google for four years, an independent search engine for 5 more after that, and at IBM after it acquired said search engine for 18 months after that. Everyone of those organizations spent many thousands of dollars on legal fees over just this question and reviewed tons of case law.

Every single one of them concluded that based on how the law was written and how the web worked, there is no legal way to scrape a web site without its explicit permission to do so.

That won't stop people from trying of course and it was a source of constant entertainment in the ops team at Blekko at how people tried to sneak around at scraping (it can get very creative) but; it isn't legal, you can and will get banned from all access for it, and if you use the results in another product or offering you will be found liable for damages.

> Which costs millions. Who should foot the bill for that?

Presumably, the world-famous multimedia behemoth willing to assume the risk of getting sued in order to publish newsworthy truth.

In this case, it'll be Buzzfeed, since they're the organization with the courage to publish the story. And they ought to have the support of people who believe in their cause, the way Thiel believed in Bollea's.

> As a media outlet, if you have to argue the case in front of a jury, you've already lost.

At some point defending against defamation has to become part of the cost of doing business for a world-famous multimedia behemoth. Buzzfeed stands to profit a great deal at the expense of R Kelly by publishing such a salacious story. Not only do they profit for the story itself, but an exclusive like that could grow their permanent audience.

> The issue with the Gawker case is that it has encouraged rich celebrity plaintiffs with little to lose to sue media outlets.

Is this true, though, or is it just the desired narrative? How do we know that the Hogan decision will have made a difference on whether R Kelly decides to sue? How do you assert that engaging in a protracted civil litigation is "nothing to lose" for a celebrity?

Celebrity net worth pegs R Kelly at $150 million. A 2015 investment from NBCUniversal put Buzzfeed's valuation at 1.5 billion.

> Hence the media self-censors.

Media self-censors all the time. Big media companies are incredibly risk-averse. A sob story about a journalist enduring the intense pain of having to shop a story around to several different publications until finally one picked it up, wouldn't be news except that the media companies all want to frame themselves as poor victims of the Hogan decision, which they hate because it means they must be ever so slightly less reckless when destroying the lives of their subjects.

Forgings and castings also require post-op machining to bring them into tight tolerances, which isn't something that fits the mental model of a lot of people when it comes to 3d printers.
The initial hobbyist community will make THC beer. Then about five months/minutes/seconds later, the cartels will have E. coli with opioid production rates to rival even the healthiest poppies. And even if bacterial opioid yields never rise very high, comparatively, it's a lot easier to hide a brewing operation or other microbial growth platform than it is to grow large fields of poppies in the open.

Although it's apparently not illegal to grow opium poppies openly as decorative and culinary plants in the US. No, the laws make absolutely no sense.

It's not. It is called the Windows Subsystem for Linux.

It's worth noting that their false discovery rate was not study-wide, but rather group-wide. As they state at the very end of the paper, "FDR control was performed separately by group (e.g., severity level) to allow for group differences in the proportions of truly null hypotheses". So, if you try to look at all significant P-values, after adjustment, you'll find that for that purpose, the P-value significance is going to be inflated.
This really isn't my area of expertise. Can you provide a link to what you're talking about? AFAIK, if you have third-party cookies set to "never", Facebook sees exactly the same (lack of) cookies no matter where I click on a like button outside of Facebook.com itself. So, if Firefox does what you say, I still don't see what it has to do with the third-party cookie option gcp pointed to.

Also, in trying to figure out exactly what feature you're talking about, I've come across quite a lot of sources that suggest that Safari has similar or more strict default settings than Firefox regarding third-party cookies.

I'd buy custom tailored clothing if price were not an issue.

I'm not a standard size, and it's hard to find clothing that fits well. I hate to go shopping, so I usually wear clothing thin until I'm finally forced to go buy something. And then it's a huge hassle going into shops, trying stuff on, nothing fits... So yeah, given that I already have to waste time to buy clothes, I'd rather waste time getting measured once in a blue moon, and then get well-fitting clothes (presumably with a reasonable choice of colors and styles) based on those measurements.

> What does "backed by the full faith and credit of a stable entity" even mean? Why does it matter?

I understand it to meant that the country in question will be a currency-recipient of last resort: the country will always accept taxes paid in this currency, and will use this currency to charge for government services and pay its employees. This ensures that there's always a market for the currency -- something that you don't have a guarantee of otherwise, unless the mode of payment has non-financial uses (like rice, cloth, nails, or cows).

Why not have the same standards as for human employees ?

Either the user, or the employee (program), or the company/employer is at fault. Default is the employer, unless either the user or the program tried to deliberately (and presumably successfully) cause the malfunction.

Meaning if the human user or the program merely make mistakes, even incredibly stupid ones, it's the company's fault.

There's one for you. People here actively protest against building a tertiary system for tax reasons and because they think they don't need it (there's actually a lot of people who even think that it's less environmentally friendly to have it dealt with on land).

Yes, I (post author) believe QML can be implemented on top of current browser tech, namely JS+DOM, or NaCl+WebGL. Someone indeed did implement a subset this way - https://qmlweb.github.io/ and the latter might even be supported by Qt Company - http://blog.qt.io/blog/2015/09/25/qt-for-native-client-and-e... although I didn't try that myself and I don't know if that effort is still ongoing.

I'm not a fan of stacking too many abstractions on top of each other. QML basically consists of the same ingredients as other web tech: a javascript runtime + GL/ES renderer + network access manager = same things a HTML5 engine needs under the hood. Surely these could be reused in a browser implementing QML.
Wouldn't most current block-chains tie a rather fine (say 5-minute, accounting for drift) timestamp to each vote? So in small voting districts, if you had a way to know approximately when people voted, you could go a long way towards de-anonymizing votes (say, you managed to track someone's device, that they used for voting, or track their location, if using dedicated voting machines)?

I don't know if it would be inherit to making a secure voting system on a block-chain that you had such (unnecessary for voting) fine-grained timestamps, but just a thought.

> There isn't going to be another big Reddit or Digg like community.

What makes you so sure of this? I would argue that this is wildly inaccurate as there will almost certainly be another platform (probably many as you look outward into the future). Imzy was poorly designed, branded and executed (internet safe space?). While their effort and aspirations were righteous, they didn't deliver something people wanted. Honestly I watched that platform since the day it launched and knew it wouldn't last. Digg is old news. I've seen others like topick.com that tanked as they weren't innovative enough. Gab.ai is gaining some traction but it's product isn't innovative and it's too political so it won't scale.

The barrier of entry isn't that high for a new social platform, it's only a matter of time before something newer, less corporate, less "reddit" comes along and gets people's attention. The same could be said for facebook, twitter, and others. No one has a monopoly on ideas.
Awesome demo. Happy to report it works without a hitch on Firefox/Ubuntu.
It's like the brogrammer world just discovered powder metallurgy.

This exact technology has existed for decades but hasn't seen widespread use because it has serious problems. I don't see any evidence that Desktop Metal solved these issues either. The resulting parts have high shrinkage, poor dimensional tolerance, and poor mechanical properties. The sintering process leaves voids inside the material that serve as stress concentrations, causing the material to fail well below its rated strength. Also sintered parts tend to fail catastrophically rather than yielding since the adhesion between particles is much weaker than the yield strength of the metal.
I would move the interviewer profile to the end (sort of an "appendix" to the document). Yes, it's important context for some, but it's not about the candidate and putting that near the top interrupted my flow of understanding.

>git itself is a damned good distributed versioning database for arbitrary content, then we might as well also use it for distributed issue-tracking.

For what it's worth, it's interesting to see that the Fossil distributed SCM includes an issue tracker but they made a deliberate architecture decision to not propagate the tickets data.[1] They had a chance to make your "distributed-issues-tracking" idea a 1st-class concept in Fossil but decided against it.

Also, the issues/tickets is just one example feature. Github will continue to evolve to add more and more sophisticatted SDL/ALM (application lifecycle management) like JIRA and Microsoft Team Foundation Server.
Those features are not easy to implement in a peer-2-peer SCM with practical usability.

One of the things I was really excited about with the Drizzle MySQL fork a long time ago was how they were planning to make the server side SQL language supported through plugins. Being able to use the same language on the front-end and for stored procedures would be really nice. For me, that's Perl, but for a lot of people it's probably Python, Ruby, Java or some JVM, derivative, etc. To be sure, there are downsides (not the least of which is making it easier to load a lot of logic on the SQL server which may be much harder to scale if you aren't careful), but it would also make it much easier to do some complex SQL operations.

I used to moderate a gifted list. It was around 300 people, all of whom were used to being the smartest person in the room. So they tended to default to assuming that if you disagreed with them, you were merely uninformed and stupid. It took a while to convince people to talk to each other respectfully and from an assumption that both people are smart and informed and their different points of view are not merely evidence of stupidity.

I occasionally see that same pattern play out on Hacker News. It would behoove you to check your ego at the door and assume that most of the people you speak with here are also well informed. In the mean time, I see no real reason to try to engage you further. Meaty discussion is never founded on chest-beating and condescension.
