Saddam Hussain falls under the category of 'news' -- he was an official leader of an entire country so what happens to him is relevant in history and should be documented. Fiction is an entirely separate category.. we can watch Game of Thrones which is massively violent and understand that it's different from reality and propaganda.

If we have no limits, then should YouTube also allow pro-child rape videos showing how awesome a 3-year old gang bang is with a crowd of guys cheering that on?

At some point you have to draw the line. I admit this is a very hard and nuanced thing to do, I generally support free speech, but I think that ISIS deserves a platform on YouTube. I'm not sure I'd support outlawing it from the government level, but that doesn't mean we can't do things to curb its influence online.
“… After all, facts are facts, and although we may quote one to another with a chuckle the words of the Wise Statesman, ‘Lies—damned lies—and statistics,’ still there are some easy figures the simplest must understand, and the astutest cannot wriggle out of.”

Tab Center Redux is the official successor to Tab Center: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-center-re...

It's now a WebExtension, which means it will work in Firefox 57+ (and possibly eventually Chrome, if they end up supporting the same APIs), and uses the new Sidebar APIs that the new Notes experiment also makes use of.

If that doesn't fit your use cases, there are also quite a few new tab sidebar WebExtensions popping up that aim to replicate existing more sophisticated tab management extensions like Tree Styles Tabs (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-tabs/), and others that try to innovate on their own terms, such as Sea Containers (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/sea-container...), which makes use of the new Containers experiment.

Overall there is a huge amount of very promising new development in the WebExtensions space, and this is exactly the kind of innovation I had hoped WebExtensions would encourage.
Bucko, you have to resurrect this stuff: you must play out The Hero archetype and rescue your dead father from the depths.
Startcom is just a name now, unfortunately. Neither the infrastructure nor employees were retained. Eddy Nigg is no longer involved, and all the Israeli employees were laid off when WoSign bought them.
I agree the recommendations is too moody, but it has nothing to do with any redesigns per se. The same backends feed recommendations independent of what the web page or mobile clients looks like.

Or rather, there's a certain comfort people won't let go, and rightly so? If people shouldn't eat meat, should they not:

Use plastics

Use car travel

Use air travel

Use some types of medicine

Use animal products (goodbye dress shoes, tons of food like eggs and pudding etc.)

etc. etc.

For everyone, at a certain point it becomes too much of an effort to deal with. They don't have the time, money or both. Who are you to decide where that line should be drawn?
I'm thrilled to see apps like these, because I believe the greatest potential AI has is to help people be really smart and educated with better judgment. Whether it improves critical thinking by asking challenging questions, or it has you think through complicated scenarios (even just things in your life), or teaches subject matter in an adaptive way that makes it really easy to get things, or just makes learning come to life (your own personal professor).

It's sad none of the leading voices in AI talk about this potential, have they ever? The ratio of talk about apocalypse or singularity to things like this probably tells you something..
There is, according to quite a few, also a huge etc. chasm between 'proved' and 'proved by a computer'. Especially if it's a proof through exhaustive enumeration.

It's just a hunch and I can't prove it, but I suspect that a very sizable percentage of the ad market is fraudulent, or otherwise "scammy and opaque." More so than people realize. Anyone who has ever run ad campaigns knows how fishy they can be: false reporting of stats, clicks that never seem to materialize, etc. And my experience is with the "non-shady" one--Google!
> Someone needs to pay me to implement something that requires blockchain

It's difficult to find something that requires a blockchain, because the unique distinguishing feature of blockchains is the lack of any trusted central authority.

If you have a trusted authority, then you can do anonymous currency, money transfers, smart contracts, or anything similar 1000x more efficiently with a single server, an API, and some backend logic. All the distributed effort goes into making these possible at all without any central authority who can ban or filter transactions.

And for most real-world projects, having a government agency or tech company working as the trusted authority works just fine. It's only shady to illegal businesses where the lack of one is required.

You have hecksums and other internal consistency checks to deal with those.
But the thing which constructs the proof might be what we will consider to be an "elegant proof." It might be more unsatisfying not being able to understand exactly why something is true, but computers can greatly expand the reach of what we can know.
Risk tolerance is funny in that it’s not always uniform.

The region where I live is heavy in the defense industry. There are lots and lots of veterans here. Federal Acquisition Regulations give preference to veteran-owned small businesses and also to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. Despite that, in a town with lots of defense and lots of veterans, there aren’t a whole lot of VOSBs.

A few years ago, the dad of a schoolmate of my son’s retired as an Army Lieutenant Colonel. Even though he as a Ranger performed parachute jumps with weapon in hand into hostile territory, he had lived in post housing all his adult life and had never had a mortgage before. The civilian world and business customs were all foreign to him despite his having interacted closely with the contracting industry for years.

We get used to what we’re exposed to. After being told for years and years to jump out of perfectly good aircraft to go blow up this-or-that target, it becomes not quite so scary. Drop the typical cake eating civilian in that world, and he’s likely wetting his pants. Drop G.I. Joe in the new world of corporate finance, contract vehicles, teaming agreements, and business development, and it can be unsettling too.
Unfortunately all the rulings still seem to be in PDF format. It would be nice if there was a searcheable database for all the rulings.
Haha this is the first thing I've heard about mathematics that reminds me of statements I've heard about chess. It's interesting to imagine a future in which useful math supporting useful tech is done by brutish AIs, while elegant math is the last refuge of humanity.

Pedant corner: The iPhone 6 has a physical home button, with Switch and all (I know this as I am writing this post on one). The haptic home "button" didn't appear until the 7.
How do they even "toss out" electricity? It's not like you can just open an overflow valve to get rid of it. Are there actually facilities for burning up useless electricity (to protect the mains frequency and thus the power plants' generators), or is the article just using strange words for "cut back production"?
This is the type of article that needs to be highlighted. It's too easy to find bad news. Our news media survives on it so that's what they feed us. Ultimately we choose whether things are getting better or not. I tend to go with Warren Buffett who advocates optimism and says that if it all falls apart it won't matter.

I remember reading in "How to Be Rich by J Paul Getty"
about how bad things were when getty wrote the book. Ideas which were directly gathered from what the media was reporting. Yet, he knew that things were not that bad and he says so in the book. He published his book in 1965.

Things aren't as gloomy as the media portrays. The best way to look at the world and the future is to see that there are problems and we need to fix them. But it does not mean that it's all going to fall apart. We have control of what happens in the future and we need to act like it.
But Google is a private company and there are no laws (rightfully) to force them to display your opinions if they don't want to do so. Free speech laws just apply to the government not silencing you, not private companies.

Ah, an even better reference, from 1906, which also mentions teeth.

Lieut.-Colonel Allan Cunningham desired to contrast the
highly scientific process of grinding in use at the present
day in all civilised counties with the unscientific process
of grinding on a very large scale amongst the huge
population of North-West India, which was essentially a
wheat-eating population. The wheat was ground there in hand
stone mills; the grinding was coarse, and separation of the
bran very imperfect, there being a good deal of bran in the
so-called flour. The bread was unleavened bread, whereas the
bread eaten in this country was leavened bread, which made
in immense difference in its effect on the constitution. The
native flour was simply kneaded with water, and quickly
heated over a griddle. With the addition of a little milk,
butter, and salt, that was the staple food of the
population. The effect of the diet was that the population
were inferior on the whole in physique to Europeans, but it
must remembered that they did not have a varied diet. The
people had extremely beautiful teeth which they carefully
cleaned. One very curious effect, which was always ascribed
to the eating of the native ground what, was that the
natives were extraordinarily subject to stone, even little
children frequently having bigs stones in the bladder.

Can't these proofs be useful in the context of "given that X is true we can say that"? In that case it doesn't matter how X was proven, it just provides a tool for future mathematics.

I hadn't worked with payment systems for a number of years, but recently added Stripe to a quick MVP I built (bitcoinvoice.com). It took two hours. I couldn't believe how easy it was, and how nice the UX of the whole thing was.

I imagined the usual song and dance of writing a bunch of back-end code to handle all their weird requests, worrying about double checking everything in the requests to make sure nobody can spoof them, etc, etc. Ya know, the dumb stuff that takes hours to write, hours to test, and days to wait for support to get back to you because their test servers are broken.

And then I imagined waiting days for them to approve my account for live transactions, requiring scanned copies of my driver's license with me flashing some sort of gang sign while reciting page 452 of the 1993 re-print of Moby Dick.

Nope. Turned out they have a synchronous API for processing payment so I don't need to handle callbacks on the backend. Turned out the front end code was, yeah about 7 lines (more with a few tweaks). And their documentation injects your keys into the sample code for you (wow)! On top of all that ... they had Go sample code!

And when I went to enable my live account, I'm pretty sure all they asked for was name and address, maybe TIN. Nothing else. No wait. Just ... bam, I was enabled and could start accepting live payments.

It was perhaps the most pleasant API integration I've ever done.

There are _some_ rough spots. They don't really explain Radar, their fraud protection very well. It wasn't clear to me if it was automatically included and handled. shrugs. And though they advertised support for Bitcoin payments, it turns out you have to use their async API to accept Bitcoin payments. I was willing to accept zero-conf payments, so I figured I could just keep using their synchronous API, but I guess not.

It's not as bad as you'd think in total volume, it's just you get a lot of bursty concurrent traffic. Something as simple as a hundred requests in roughly the same second crash many blogs sadly.
With the same success you could have forked bitcoin with the same block size, or just minor increase.

I work in the online learning industry, mainly with higher education institutions. One of the top features required by instructors is the ability to provide audio feedback to students.
