iOS vector asset catalogs (which use PDFs) actually don't support true vector rendering; any vector images are converted to PNGs at compile time.

> The company has promised to hire 3,000 more content moderators before the year’s end, bringing the total to 7,500, and is looking to improve the software it uses to flag hate speech, a spokeswoman said.

As someone with little knowledge of how technology (beyond buzzword-y AI/NLP topics) could be applied to content moderation, I wonder if this is a solvable problem. There are so many competing interests around using Facebook as a ideological/political/cultural platform and it seems that monetizable users are the only ones worth keeping happy.

Couldn't agree more. This is extremely dangerous, and extremely poorly thought out on Google's part.

The happy medium has been found already. Would people trust Visa and MasterCard if they allowed double spending? I'm guessing not. So by virtue of having a very large investment in their corporate brands, the old economy already came up with a solution to the trust problem.

Heck, everywhere you look there's a solution to the trust problem; it's fundamental to human interactions.

- There are courts. If you try to screw me, I can drag you into one. Nothing's perfect and there's probably a minimum amount I'd not bother Judge Judy for, but it's a solution a LOT of people rely on. And I can tack all sorts of things on to this like warranties and insurances.

- Brands. Look, we burn all this money on getting sports stars to pose for pictures. And there's reviews of our product in papers. If we did something stupid, you'd know. Again, it ain't perfect.

- Escrow. Don't trust me? Trust this guy.
It's an approach to solving a problem that allows problems to be solved in totally new ways. I think it's understandable to be on a search for opportunities to apply it.

The problem it seems to me is that, although the idea of trustless systems seem really cool and applicable to a lot of domains, it turns out that there are actually way fewer useful applications than people originally thought. But no one is letting go, and a lot of people are wrongly convincing themselves and others that most systems are better off trustless.
I'm sorry, if you are adding a new feature, then no old features could break without unit and integration tests indicating brokenness.

What one should do is push the new feature dark, i.e. not enabled for anyone except the automated test suite user. That's the user that should exercise all old paths and validate that no old path is broken when the feature is enabled by a user but unused. After that is validated in production one can enable the feature for either a percentage or users or 100% of users depending of how one is playing to live test and live QA the feature.

The important part is that no new release can break existing usage patterns.

That's CI/CD. Everything else is magic, unicorns and rainbows.
Write what you learn. That's a good thing to do. Just get into the habit and it gets easier. After a while you start to spot opinions and techniques that just don't have good reference pages. Write one. Review libraries that you use. If you were thinking of commenting on another article, consider turning the response into your own article. (When doing so, try to write as if the OP is twice as smart as you and your best friend. Helps to avoid utterly unnecessary flame wars.)

Reread everything.
For iOS, there are the shared libraries provided by the OS. UIKit, PhotoKit, etc...

Shared libraries beyond that would bring the hell of version incompatibility. One need only look at Apple’s evolution of Swift where there still isn’t binary compatibility?

Most people don’t want to crack open their phone and set paths so that their app has a version of Python that works with it.

Also shared libraries can be giant security holes. See the bug in AFNetworking that affected many thousands of apps. Imagine an errant app shipping a backdoor into a shared networking library.
Good luck searching for "google Malta" and getting decent product help. I just spent the last two nights battling to find online solutions for a login permissions error in their new "google backup and sync" product.

You would think Google would recognise the benifits of owning a namespace.
The sizes I mentioned are extremely common in 2d and 3d geometry. This is due to the number of dimensions visible in our world. While someone may want to run 11 dimensional calculations in string theory, there are a large number of common real-world applications of the lengths 2,3,4. In C and C++ you can often use intrinsics but the big 3 - ARM, Intel, PPC - all define them differently. I want this common stuff to be part of the language. Sure go ahead and support general vectors via class definitions and such, but give me direct support for the common sizes.

Web Apps can’t really do *that*, can they?
It would have to entirely app stored manage - it's not possible for iOS developers to currently share code between apps.

Everything that is shared between apps currently is stuff that's provided by the shared platform.
Yup, amazon has been all about acquisitions and broadening their horizons lately. When they acquired twitch, they had regulations put in place first test if things would stick. Then twitch was acquired after. Seems they're probably doing the same with Stripe.

> isn't it possible to bundle some dynamically loaded libraries that can be shared by multiple apps

Yes, there is one: the standard library, provided by Apple. However, many apps eschew this to use their own libraries and frameworks for whatever reason, be it ease of use or feature enhancements, and these cannot be shared.
It's amusing that you think these apps are developed by people who aren't CS grads that have not been put through the absurd hazing ritual that is the modern interview.

Look at Facebook's monster, for example.

The reason these apps are bloated is because too much attention is paid to basic CS and not enough to engineering.
I modified the Stats.py file in the SideBarEnhancements.sublime-package on my computer to remove the line that references this IP address. I also made the file read-only so it won't get updated. Does anyone know if that will take care of the issue on my computer for now?

Nava | Infrastructure Engineers, Fullstack Software Engineers | Washington DC, San Francisco SF, New York NYC | On-site - Full-time | $100k-$160k+ + equity + benefits

We're a small team of engineers, designers, and product builders that were brought in to help fix Healthcare.gov in the winter of 2013. Our revamped application is used by millions, converts 35% better, and halves the completion time.

It turns out there’s a lot more to reimagine within government services, which is why we’re partnering with both the Department of Veterans Affairs and Medicare. With the VA, we are working to modernize their appeals system, making millions of veteran’s lives better through the process. Today, the average appeal takes 5 years to process; we can fix this. For Medicare, we are designing and building the architecture for Medicare's historic transition towards value-based care.

It’s surprising how much can be done by a small group of empathetic people with deep technical experience, working closely with dedicated civil servants in government. We’ve started Nava as a public benefit corporation to radically improve how our government serves its people, and we believe that the services our government provides should be clear and reliable. If you feel the same way, we'd love to hear from you.

Banksy gets animated by Hackers
> Cisco charges an arm and a leg for its videoconferencing devices

Sure, and the—unstated, admittedly—presumption was that FB was targeting consumer not enterprise use. I understand why enterprise videoconferencing systems exist.

> I'm okay with Facebook trying out a cheaper version for the average consumer.

I'm okay with them pursuing it. I'm just asking what the need is it serves.
Compress then encrypt is continually a source of vulnerabilities.
Really it's about recommendations, ask lots of people who they go to and why. I'd avoid a practice that's part of a chain like the plague, they are more likely to have a high turnover of dentists, who are under pressure to produce.
I'd go for a small practice with at most a few dentists all ideally partners who are there for the long haul.
Definitely avoid quick jobs like combining a holiday with treatment packages.
If you've left things a long time, the first task may just be to stabilise things and then you can gradually get the things you want, done. There are always options and some cost a lot more than others. It's a trade off off involving satisfaction in terms of aesthetics and function, cost and the amount of time you'll need to spend in the chair. Sorry that all sounds a bit wafflely as i write it but it's true really.
1.9 MByte in size / 6985 transactions.

This is about twice as much as is possible in a block of the old Bitcoin chain.

This will become super interesting.
But I think Youtube is a public space, one of the most important ones there is right now. The fact that it is owned by a large corporation rather than a government is immaterial.

I also think the power Google of today wields over my life is probably comparable to the power the government of 1789 wielded over its citizens.

Is it really wise to so readily accept arbitrary behavior from Google just because they're a private company? At a certain point, companies become big and powerful enough that I think it's reasonable to hold them to similar standards as governments.
OOP often involves overhead. If someone defined a really clean vector type/object in a library that let me write expressions the natural way, that could be added to the language I suppose. And that's what I want.
While that may be true, it's not the philosophical basis of our current system of government. The concept of natural law is, though. And in general, the majority of people seem to believe in rights under that definition (albeit more likely due to religious beliefs than having read Enlightenment philosophers).
Again, the bug was in the application layer, not the protocol layer. That's like saying that HTTPS is broken because you can do SQLi against someone's poorly coded website.
Prompt – Mental Health in Tech Initiative Raising Funds
Well, they can only flag the videos. It will still go through Youtube's review system if anyone appeals.
I tried to fully switch to Firefox but it was very slow on mobile, it couldn't even open wikipedia pages... The developer tools on desktop were very slow too so eventually i had to switch back to chrome.

I simply wish they move to blink rendering engine.
Same way as any proof, right? Check that each step is valid; in this case, that the symbol manipulation obeyed the rules.

I keep hearing this is like the internet from 30 years ago. Thirty years ago, there was no good way to do ecommerce or send an email. Today, there is a good way to pay for things and do all financial transactions in a simple low hastle way. The internet was sending instant, asyncronious communication vs letters (async) or phone (instant). Bitcoin is creating phone calls and post mail in the email age and using a metal envelope as an upgrade.

Yeah I sent my first emails to a system that connected to neighboring systems via modem at a pre determined time to ftp mail bundles around.
At which point everyone who moves fast will beat you.
Isn't it interesting how over time what is considered the "public square" turned from being owned by gov't (free-speech rules) to private industry (no need to uphold free-speech). Sure you can go run to your local city hall and say whats on your mind but no one's going to listen. The internet allowed for widespread dissemination of views/ideas but as time goes on it will be more and more regulated by private companies.
So far I didn't use their service, but I fondly remember their security CTFs, which were lots of fun, and very well run. Still hoping for another incarnation of those...
I'm glad someone did a good write-up of the research. I read through the paper one afternoon and it was super dense and I couldn't make heads or tails of the math. It is a really cool phenomenon!

edit: More discussion from the last time this came up https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11953566
If something can be proven by any method, that means that it is true. An elegant proof is often more illuminating, but it isn't precluded by a direct method.

If the proven theorem is useful, isn't it better to be able to make use of it earlier, rather than wait for the elegant proof?

An example: If the AdS/CFT conjecture is demonstrably proven, it will elevate it from "useful computational technique" to "law of mathematics, probably how nature does it, too". I'll take any proof, as early as I can get it, in order to guide our experimental work.
If AI is to agree they need all the facts. And as we keep adding facts almost daily, there is simply no chance that the AI will have all the facts.

We like to think of logic as 1+1=2. But logic is more like A+B-C*D/E=F. Where any number of those being either completely unknown (we sometimes do not even know we are missing them), or some wide range of potential values.
The Right to Liberty, which we will secure for you by taking away as much of it as possible.
My point is that someone with permission gave them access.
It's not that Devs don't care. It's because every metric anyone has ever gathered says that users don't care.
> The Stripe advantage over PayPal is that Stripe operates more like a merchant account, where the buyer sees the seller's name on the credit card statement. PayPal injects itself into the checkout process, Stripe is basically a white label.

You're talking about PayPal Express, which is the PayPal form most of us are familiar with.

PayPal has a number of other services, such as Payments Pro, and PayFlow, which act just like a Credit Card Processor, ie. the customer has no idea it's PayPal on the backend - they enter their credit card info on your checkout form like normal and click submit. The customer's bank statement will state your company name, not PayPal.

Majority (all?) of the PayPal horror stories you hear are from folks using PayPal Express with large amounts of money coming from weird places. Payments Pro really is a different class of service, complete with your own representative you can call up 24 hours a day. You can also setup a nightly automated sweep of any funds to your real bank account.
> There is no "Situation" right now.

As an immigrant, yes there damn well is.
It says that the files will be removed after 24 hours, or after the first download, so I imagine storage requirements are not going to be completely unmaintainable. It's still gotta cost a bit though.

> If Musk ever makes it to Mars ....

The first thing he should do is set up the solar system's first 'offplanet' bank - perhaps First Mars Bank, or Red Planet Bank, or Planet 4 Bank.

He should buy the .mars TLD and assign himself fmb.mars, rpb.mars and p4b.mars and ...

Then there will be the inevitable MOXY (Mars Oxygen), Ice Mine to produce water (an almost-pun on a famous Vonnegut sci-fi book) and the Red Dirt Mining Co., which will presumably excavate a lot of iron ore.

He will need a bitcoin mining site, or perhaps create his own Mars Coin.

Eventually he will need to hire lots of Starship Troopers to fight off the invasion of giant IRS tax-collecting insectoids.

its only a matter of time before the USA outlaws these also. I know the agencies are itching for it. Even though it would be unworkable.
Yes. They got bad advice, probably from an accountant without enough experience in this matter.
The mention of ISIS is a smokescreen. Even though terrorism was used as an early justification of it, in practice the "hate speech" label is almost always used for far less violent ideas and people. In fact, it is more likely to be used against liberal Muslims than against Islamic terrorists! (See [0])

In fact, from an anti-terrorism perspective, it may be more effective to leave ISIS's videos up (and keep tabs on their most frequent watchers, if anything). It can even have direct benefits in terms of intelligence gathering (e.g. the locations shown can be identified).

I'm really glad it doesn't do this. I spend a fair amount of time writing or reading Rust, Python, CoffeeScript, Haskell, OCaml, etc (in no particular order) and I find Rust to be much more readable, largely due to braces, commas, and parens in intuitive places.
That link recommends for a grid system, it just advocates capital 'G' Grid instead of other solutions. There's an entire section where they encourage a framework for working with Grid. I have never worked on a site that doesn't need any concept of a grid.

There's a lot of work on non-mining private blockchains that you're ignoring.
I want it to turn it into SIMD instructions. What I don't want is to write classes, functions, or loops that have to be automatically converted to SIMD. I want a simple built-in type for these three size vectors. I also mentioned that they should be passed by value and be able to be returned by value in a (SIMD) register. This is the most efficient way to write and execute vector math.
