Preventing something from being done or said does not counter a claim.

Passing a law against ICE cars does not prove electric cars superior, the same way passing a law against EVs does not prove ICEs superior.

However, if I am guessing correctly, your point of view is that gender stereotypes have no factual basis and exist only due to a cultural pressure. If that assumption is true, then there is a sense in which what you said is true: by disallowing the cultural pressure, the stereotypes and therefore their evidential basis would disappear.

Whether the assumption is true or not, I agree that an "anti-speech" organizational rule is not physical violence, which is the conventional definition I would use. I hesitate to say it is not 'violence', because people like the WHO define the word much more expansively[1].

From that, 2 things: first, I think the experimental evidence is hard to explain under the assumption above, like the fact that more progressive countries like my own Canada or Sweden have high gender occupational differences, but countries doing very poorly on equality metrics quite lower differences there[2]:

> The least sexist countries I can think of – Sweden, New Zealand, Canada, etc – all have somewhere around the same number (30%, 20%, and 24%, respectively). The most sexist countries do extremely well on this metric! The highest numbers on the chart are all from non-Western, non-First-World countries that do middling-to-poor on the Gender Development Index: Thailand with 55%, Guyana with 54%, Malaysia with 51%, Iran with 41%, Zimbabwe with 41%, and Mexico with 39%.

Second, while I have no doubt you're right that Google is being equated with the gulag quite literally by some, I think there is a sense in which one can talk about a weak commonality between both. In this case, the link being a form of 'violence' (WHO definition) against saying certain things. I can understand why this is a quite upsetting similarity if one were on the other side of it, particularly when people abuse it. I wish there was a way to sort of get reasonable to call out people "on their side" when they do that.

What did they train the AI on to deem something 'extremist'?

Should we get to see the training data used and labels?

Or is this the modern day equivalent of credit score algo, something that can have huge impact on lives, but you are not allowed to know what it is.

Ask HN: If a t-shirt includes a logo (FB, AT&T) is it automatically infringement?
I want to make a t-shirt that shows my dissatisfaction with some companies and also in support of others. Basic example for simplicity:

"Vote Yes DuckDuckGo"

"AT&T Sucks"

Is it infringement to use a logo/symbol on a shirt as fair use as long as it is clearly not representative of the companies service/product? If a logo is not useable would text equiv; e.g. AT&T instead of their branding, be useable?

Does it matter if the t-shirt is for sale vs. personal use?

Thanks

Couldn't you achieve the same thing by tracking http requests to a regular list?
I'm not sure why I would use this extension because I already have the excellent ublock which I can add any list I want to. I think more people would benefit if this was published as a list instead of a totally new extension.
I don't see how this would be any different than a library. We need new, good public institutions such as this.

Yes, tickets for travel on Monday are over £80, but the poster was talking about buying advance tickets.

What service are you using? How far in advance are you looking? Buying on the day can and will be stupidly expensive.

Oh, and FWIW, split tickets can frequently do better. I've reduced my annual train fares bills from over 11k to under 6k, despite travelling 20% more.

Maybe this is a matter of semantics? Firing someone (ending a voluntary relationship) is legal and nonviolent, so I wouldn't call that "by force" either. You probably shouldn't use "by force" unless you mean it.
There's so much wrong about NC and mainstream perception of classic liberalism I don't even know where to begin.

There are some interesting topics of dispute between NC / Proudhon-like anarchists and libertarians, but I don't see how this kind of quote achieves anything in this regard. Libertarians don't advocate "concentrated" powers or "tyranny" but acknowledge that hierarchy and subordination can develop in a voluntarily way and think about the best meta-rules with which each society groups can co-exist. Yes, large entities can occur - proof is with nation states and big companies.

But I don't see how Chomsky fans can replace them with anything better, do you ? Theirs solutions generally involve the state taking a monopole about some product / service or over regulations, leading to an even growing state and big co (all of which are "tyranny", "concentrated powers", "domination", "authority" they supposedly despise)
Once upon a time, strong protections and support for customers (buyers) is what Amazon was known for.

So many stories were shared like "the thing arrived damaged, and when I called Amazon I talked to a person and they shipped a replacement out right away no questions asked."

Where is that now?

"Amazon gives better protections to sellers" is not a compelling story for attracting customers.
Firstly, while I think it's beneficial to learn multiple languages (python, R, matlab, julia), I'd suggest picking one to avoid overwhelming yourself and freaking out. I'd suggest python because there are great tools and lots of learning resources out there, plus most of the cutting edge neural networks action is in python.

Then for overall curriculum, I'd suggest:

1. start with basic machine learning (not neural networks) and in particular, read through the scikit-learn docs and watch a few tutorials on youtube. spend some time getting familiar with jupyter notebooks and pandas and tackle some real-world problems (kaggle is great or google around for datasets that excite you). Make sure you can solve regression, classification and clustering problems and understand how to measure the accuracy of your solution (understand things like precision, recall, mse, overfitting, train/test/validation splits)

2. Once you're comfortable with traditional machine learning, get stuck into neural networks by doing the fast.ai course. It's seriously good and will give you confidence in building near cutting-edge solutions to problems

3. Pick a specific problem area and watch a stanford course on it (e.g. cs231n for computer vision or cs224n for NLP)

4. Start reading papers. I recommend Mendeley to keep notes and organize them. The stanford courses will mention papers. Read those papers and the papers they cite.

5. Start trying out your own ideas and implementations.

While you do the above, supplement with:

* Talking Machines and O'Reilly Data Show podcasts

* Follow people like Richard Socher, Andrej Karpathy and other top researchers on Twitter

Good luck and enjoy!
"I'llbet they have a lot more on you than you think."

No, I do know they know a lot about me ... so what?
The do not have a army to take me in, if I do not think or act like they say I should.

There might be a point, if I cannot have friends or find a job without a fb profile - and for some people this might be the felt truth allready - and this is bad, yes. But first of all, I think atm everyone has a choice - and secondly, big brother is still something completely different ... that was my point.
On one side, I'm happy to see that people slowly start to understand the situation.

On the other side, I'm kind of shocked it took so long. The way these companies were going to take control over us was so obvious about 15 years ago. A lot of damage is done, now.
You're conflating the products of an economic system with its organization.. which is not to say you are wrong necessarily, but this is not a neutral, objective, or provable position to take..
Absolutely. And have a LinkedIn account that's up to date.

Honesty and humility are respected values precisely because they are predictable and can be relied upon.

Be good at what you do. Be able to prove it. Be honest.
Operate from a position of excruciating reasonableness. Put a firewall between your beliefs and your words. Approach sensitive topics delicately and obliquely. Acknowledge both "sides" of the debate in a patient and compassionate manner, whilst also signalling that you clearly recognise the edges of the Overton window.

Never argue for any particular position; present a series of facts and ideas, then allow your audience to come to their own conclusion. Nobody likes being told what to think, but most people take great satisfaction in joining up the dots for themselves.

Some people might still call you a Nazi, but your obvious reasonableness will be a near-infallible shield; they'll look silly and you'll look dignified.

Study marketing. Major corporations have invested billions in developing powerful persuasion methods, so loot their arsenal. You can sell a political position in exactly the same way as a can of fizzy drink, with immeasurably greater success than someone using the traditional techniques of political rhetoric.

This isn't true if you use uglify at all. I literally had to go into IRC and try and figure out why a hotfix for our extension was taking so long to get through the process (we had been sitting in it for at least 3 days if not a week IIRC). The response I got in IRC was that I would have to literally come and ask for someone's assistance to bump up the review on my company's extension each time we hotfixed, as we got placed in a special queue that required an admin and not just any volunteer in part due to our use of uglify causing the code to be obfuscated.

The worse part is that uglify is required for us to even get the extension signed, due to Firefox's arbitrary individual file size limit.

Prior to Mozilla getting their act together it literally was over a month of waiting for them to review our extension, so we just bailed altogether as their entire process is terrible for pretty much no real gain. I then tried again once the queue had dropped from ~400 to ~150 and the wait time finally became reasonable.

I mean the process was/is so bad, they literally had an issue on github to just automatically approve extensions based on some criteria due to the huge backlog. I cannot get an unlisted extension released with the same version as a listed extension, so we completely bailed on using Mozilla's hosting at all, since all it does is cause a liability until we can push out fixes the same day without manual intervention.

To top this off, every single time we make a new release, we'd have to explain the extension, how to build it, etc. and provide sources to the code. Our extension is also a regular web extension.
There is a great Warren Buffett quote, "I try to buy stock in businesses that are so wonderful that an idiot can run them. Because sooner or later, one will."

Uber is a potentially wonderful business. The business model is so wonderful Travis was able to raise funds almost instantly. He deserves credit for recognizing that, pursuing the idea and building it quickly.

But while Uber has raised enormous amounts of investment, and used it to grow incredibly rapidly, it's never come close to making money. And worse, as it's grown management decisions have repeatedly damaged it. Given billions of dollars, anyone can hire tens of thousands of people and expand world-wide. Running a large organization so it protects the value that's already been created is a skill Travis clearly lacks.

The examples are so numerous it's hard to pick the worst. But clearly his leadership, especially his mantra of "always be hustling" led subordinates to constantly cross lines that gained Uber very little at the cost of great risk. That's terrible leadership.

His lack of focus has saddled Uber with many dozens of side businesses that suck resources and attention from their #1 and only important task, building Uber out world-wide. UberEats?

Even the autonomous car effort was dumb. Autonomous cars are coming at some point, and they will be fully available for purchase when Uber needs them. What's far more important is building the Uber brand so it's on everyones devices and is their first choice for summoning a ride. Autonomous competitors will have to surmount that huge obstacle to even have a chance to chip away at Uber's lead.

Uber is going to win, it's almost predestined at this point given it's enormous funding and market penetration advantage. The only way it can fail is if governments are convinced it should be reined in, and Kalanick's entire leadership has generated awful PR and made that possibility far more real than it ever should be. They continuously damage the one thing they are tasked with building, the Uber brand.

How can that be regarded as anything but incredibly incompetent?
With the real estate trends being the way they are, that may be more affordable as you think.

Real estate in the big cities is sky high, but as people are moving there, other places are getting more and more empty and thus cheaper. Buying a summer house for me would cost ~5% of my main residence cost, and it'd likely be larger.

A fun anecdote from a local insurance company handling rural areas - they insure houses for no more than the market value (obviously, so there'd be no motivation for arson), and if a house gets a major fire, that doesn't cover the replacement value (cost of repairs or reconstruction), not even close. So a surprisingly common solution/consequence after an insured fire is simply buying a comparable close-by house+land for the insurance money, since that's much cheaper than rebuilding the original one. Obviously that's not feasible in the long term, but those areas can go on for decades without needing to build a single new house as there are much more houses than families due to people moving to cities.
Yeah wow, an audience of billions having instant access to your content at the click of a button. So terrible for content creators. Most of these content creators wouldn't even exist without Youtube, they'd be working in a cubicle somewhere forwarding memos.
If you think this is about copyright in a domain name you're missing the point. The DMCA is being used because uBlock is blocking a technology [script download] that is used to prevent access. uBlock is working like a DRM remover (the argument goes) and so is committing contributory copyright infringement.

Modifying uBlock mitigates the argument but doesn't entirely remove it. For example if the people who control uBlock control a third-party source that allows the same preventions to be implemented then technological changes have been made but the situation is legally homologous (AIUI, IANAL).

IMO uBlock need to provide facility for a domain to be blocked but say "search online to find blocklists" and have no legal associations with the blocklist maintainers; akin to how emulator sites manage ROMs, they stay as legal separated from them as possible. Putting Google in the middle makes getting sued harder, in theory Google is linking the people to the tech/info that enables the alleged infringement.

Remember DMCA is strongly weighted towards the accuser in the initial instance and that a service provider has to take down content in order to maintain their safe-harbour protections, leaving it to the alleged infringer to counter the accusation (guilt until claim of innocence).
I think that a Black Swan is when a new factor appears in your domain. In science we are conditioned from the start to create fair tests in controlled experiments. Control is the fundamental of experiment - and statistics are designed to handle experimental data.

In the real world there are often no controls, and complex systems can be driven by an attractor for a very long time before one morning they are not, and every rule that you have is useless (often worse than useless).

Sources of error are not equal; "Black Swan Error" is unusual in that over time it may be that this source is more important than any other source of data in your domain - the strange attractor that drove the creation of your classifier over the last 20 years may never recapture your function and if that's the case your classifier will be literally the most wrong thing you could have!
Targeting is all about knowing the true habits of your audience versus what your audience claims are their true habits. As others have said, breaking out your newsletter to the highest value people is probably a good start. You can leave the general email general and require an opt-in for people instead of an opt out. You'll immediately know who is engaged enough to want more of what you're offering, then just ask them what they find the most valuable in a survey and find a way to monetize that isn't what you're already doing but is in addition, in other words, create extra value for them.
>Why are we entertaining the notion that women might be biologically less inclined for engineering?

Because it's basically true and all the evidence points to it? (See my comment below.) That we aren't even supposed to talk about scientific facts for political reasons is deeply disturbing.

>Why is the CEO somehow obligated to debunk the theory?

Because the CEO is promoting policies that sexistly discriminate against women in favor of men and firing employees for their political opinions. The very least they could do is provide some argument for why their opinions are right.
-The services provided by Google and Facebook have an unassailable majority of market share and are relied on by a huge amount of people.

-They enjoy a de facto monopoly and are protected by the extreme cost, risk and time involved in building competing services.

-Finally, they have a potential for abuse (say, with selective censorship or politically biased algorithms) that could essentially curb the Constitutional rights of individuals

If these points sound familiar it's because they're frequently used when arguing for the nationalization of a private company. Since I think that's (currently) out of reach, I believe regulating Facebook, Google, et al as public utilities to be the next best thing.
The choice of language for a project is the least problematic thing in this industry. Egotistical programmers, the categorical error of equating CS fundamentals with engineering, rapid product development and iteration, and producing as cheaply as possible all are more serious problems in this industry than a choice of language to program in.

The author expresses that they meet the people in a different context. Sure, you see bus drivers doing their job, but you're not talking with them about life while they're at the wheel.

In the tech bubble, chances are that the cook and the bus driver and the janitor just works there - they don't live there (because they can't afford it), they don't go to diners and pubs there much, it's as if they live in a different society that just "visits" that world during work. In the semi-rural area, they were part of the same society, in the tech bubble they're two separate societies increasingly growing apart from each other.

People really need to download videos from YouTube if they are that important, not doing otherwise is in my opinion reckless. YouTube is not a service you can expect to actually archive important videos, if I look through my favorites or other playlists, a ton of videos are deleted.

Use youtube-dl, download it to your own server and back them up yourself. Yes, this is awful and sucks on so many levels, but please, please, back up data.
