> # Toxicity too low

> 47% toxic: Why do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you don't take yourself seriously.

I would have put that under "toxicity too high"; it seems like a conventional, vanilla exhortation to be more self-confident?
I think in that case, I'd rather take an early morning flight like sologoub mentioned.

And like dopeboy pointed out, if this was $100 RT, it would appeal to price sensitive people. And regardless of how comfortable they make it, for many of us in the States, it's still an 8-hour bus ride.
That's true, but a lot can be avoided with conservative driving. Anticipating what other drivers might do is major part of the skill. Also, stopping suddenly can be a serious health risk if you're expecting the elderly to use the buses.

But I do take the point, I'm not a big fan of the overbearing tracking that you read about, for instance, in the Amazon warehouses. Especially when you're asking for skilled performance but paying unskilled wages.

Perhaps it could just be asking a percentage of drivers to take extra training, but I do think it should happen to some degree.
Maybe they put people on a raft and sent them out to sea as a form of punishment or sacrifice, and some of them made it across. If it was a common enough practice, it wouldn't take long for survivors to start meeting and multiplying.
Are you sending out resumes and not getting interviews or are you getting interviews but no job?

If you want a big name company, look at AMZN, many of the people I know hear from AMZN recruiters more than once a month.
"The Ku Klux Klan is a great blessing to America": 39%. "The Ku Klux Klan is a great threat to America": 66%.
It should be noted that the % output is a probability that the text is toxic (i.e. a logistic regression), not a proportionate quantification, which changes the interpretation of the value slightly.

Close shave with death
The map is a little misleading, only in the sense that people care a ton about the difference from 0-1 hour, but no one commutes 5 hours. So we get a map that gives a ton visual weight to "commutes" more than two hours. I know I'm the one making this about commutes, but they are concerned with rush hour, so I don't feel like I'm out of bounds.

The fact that all the cities look the same speaks to this fact. The only restriction seems to be geography/geology.
Could you care to explain how we could reduce "concentrated powers" ? It's not enough to simply claim that libertarian or neoliberal are not anti-business and hence facilitate concentrated powers, you have to explain to me a better solution, how you would approach this issue.

values of mutual aid and solidarity

Isn't that what exchange, association and charity are about ? Theses are core libertarian values.
Not completely on topic, but one thing I've noticed in having my name attached to an online account is that I often start to make a comment, realize it could be considered vaguely political, and delete it.

In my mind, all my political beliefs are perfectly rational and I have nothing to gain by putting them out there for others to demonize ("give me six lines" and all that). Which of course leads to me never having my beliefs challenged and potentially having to change them.
Sorry, but why? Google owns nobody anything. If you have war crime evidence or other important content to publish, upload it to YouTube and all other video sites, letting archive.org and other human rights organizations in the loop. You can put the press in the mix as well.
"Dragging people, kicking and screaming," sounds like the antithesis of democracy. Not sure if that's what you meant...

At least in the US, the civil rights movement was characterized (primarily) by peaceful, non-violent protests, demonstrations, and speeches. A social movement characterized by force and violence cannot effect positive social change, as far as I know.
> 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.

This is probably somewhere where the left could take lessons from rationalist YouTube. Many of the arguments are presented in this way, always taking pains to express their logical credentials and remaining reasonable. Of course the evidence is heavily selected, but that is not mentioned. Then, when 'progressives' shout at them, it is progressives who seem shrill and absurd.
>Why did the journalist lie about writing for Wired again?

She probably didn't lie. She's a freelance writer that has written for many notable publications.

Many freelancers write "on spec", meaning they intend to submit it somewhere, but don't have a contract to do the work. So "writing a story for wired" wouldn't be an odd thing to say if that's who you intended to push it to.
I think this is the first time I've ever seen C++ hit the top of HN. Either nothing interesting has happened in the last 48 hours, or there's more interest in it here than I would have thought.

I'm also really hoping someone hasn't commented about Rust since I've been writing this...
Cool. I look forward to when something like this can be a plugin.

Given that we know people sell reddit (and HN?) usernames in order for others to mass-comment, it'd be nice to have something to combat the low-hanging fruit such as the examples given on this page.

I don't think either of these contribute anything to any conversation,

> If they voted for Hilary they are idiots

> Screw you trump supporters

If you do, well, we might be visiting different websites -- one that implements this tech (here?), and one that doesn't (4chan).
Is tech really the most left-wing industry? That surprises me.

Women are generally more left-wing than men, so you'd think a gender imbalance would tilt rightward.

And there's a strong libertarian streak (which I always assumed was due to being wealthy, white males, which is the libertarian base). I guess that would seem "left" if you were looking only at attitudes to drug prohibition or other social issues.

I guess if the industry leans younger then that would have an impact too, but still be interested to see the data for that claim
Yeah, you might be right. That one example isn't very well thought out.
Can we use this to filter Donald Trumps twitter?
I agree with this. I'd like to see an AI that detects which biases a person has. The biases could be associated with short tags which could be displayed to commenters in a UI to make people aware of the biases they have.
I never heard before that recipes were used for trade, so TIL. It's fascinating what things in the history of mankind made money. The Dutch trade in Tulip Bulbs for example and many other things that we deem unusual today.
For those who like videos, I would highly recommend utilizing Andrew Ng's Coursera ML videos for step one. I found his lectures to be good high level overviews of those topics.

The course in general lacks rigor, but I thought it was a very good first step.
> For what it is worth, as of June 2017 gmail no longer scans email content for ads

The important part of that sentence is "for ads". Obviously, they don't do antispam out of thin air, they still have to scan email for it.
Regarding the 'always listening' concerns, on Android 6.0 and above it is possible to grant granular permissions for resources such as microphone or location to applications. Even on applications that use an older SDK where granular permissions are not a thing, you can still disable those permissions after installing the application by tweaking the System Settings.

By looking at my current permission settings, only the Camera and the Phone app have permission to use my microphone. I closed my Facebook account a while ago but I use WhatsApp, owned by Facebook. Given that I don't send voice notes or make in-app calls, there is no need for it having access to my microphone. Same with location -- no need.
"George Soros is influencing the media": 6% likely to be perceived as toxic.

"(((George Soros))) is influencing the media": 2% likely to be perceived as toxic.

This thing literally considers using anti-Semitic coded toxic messaging to make your statements three times less likely to be toxic. I mean, if it ignored punctuation I could at least understand that on a technical level (although it would be the wrong technical decision for exactly this reason), but this is actively wrong.

> You know when US people use their credit card? Every day. You know when Europeans use their credit card? When abroad.

To me, that's just evidence of how backwards many Europeans are in their approach to credit cards.

You seem to have an attitude that credit cards are inherently evil. They're just tools, which can be misused (and put you into debt) or used for maximum convenience (accruing rewards and protections along the way).

I challenge you to explain why the easy availability of credit and a highly functional credit market is a bad thing instead of throwing out blanket statements like that credit scores are "crazy."

What's a logical credential?
There is just as much male privilege as there is female privilege, and the same goes with any group. It's entirely situation. Seniority in a job is privilege. Merit-based success is privilege. A person with a driver's license is privileged over one who doesn't have a driver's license. Feel free to list examples of marginalized groups that enjoy no privilege and I'll show you others not part of that marginalized group when introduced to that group demonstrate a lack of privilege.

I was thinking about doing the same thing actually with the memo. The whole thing is such a shame, the timing with this api is no doubt strange
Thought controlled word documents sound very unproductive, because the moment someone is watching I'm going to worry whether I'll accidentally think about a bunch of my secrets and it's immediately going to type that and what the secrets are, all because I was simply thinking about them at all.

It really sucks that in addition to taking away the ability for users to make their own decisions and tradeoffs with respect to functionality vs data usage and battery life this also forces developers to build systems that are centralized in ways that undermine user privacy and create easy-to-block bottlenecks :/.
Trusting government to regulate Facebook? No way. I lived in China; I have seen how that story plays out.

Some people really do have a naïve trust in government. Free markets are the answer. Who has actually made a legitimate attempt to compete with Google or Facebook? What VCs are investing in Facebook alternatives?

MySpace was unstoppable – until it wasn’t. Yahoo owned search – until it didn’t. Perhaps there ought to be more bold entrepreneurship rather than calls for regulation.

Sounds to me that people are ok with just giving up and giving Facebook the win.

Don’t like Facebook’s dominance? Then challenge it. Don’t cop out and just let the government take control.

History is littered with great companies toppled by better ideas and execution.
Depends on context. I can easily imagine it used as an attack, like: “Why aren’t you defending the point you made earlier? It seems you don’t take your own argument seriously. Why do you expect…”
Thanks, you're right. Although the rebuttal I posted addresses the memo point-by-point, it similarly fails to reach the intended audience.

Btw, maybe I'm reading this wrong, but your block quote seems to make the opposite point that you think it does. You said the research "indicates that interests are a primary driver in the discrepancy," but the quote said:

This discrepancy between interest data and real employment
composition indicates that there may be reasons other than
sex differences in interests that can account for gender
disparity in science and mathematics.
This was my perception as well, after trying a few "easy" cases and then trying to find "tricky" ones to check how well it'll handle them.

This entire paragraph is classified as 68% likely to be perceived as toxic only because it contains the word "idiots". If you replace it with another word like "dragons", it's down to 13%:

Hi, I don't completely agree with your point about
idiots being commonplace. First of all, that is a
derogatory word with no specific meaning. If you have
a problem with their opinion, it's more constructive to
point out ways in which you disagree, so we can have a
more civil discourse.

It's not doing a great job of seeing the context in which a word is used and reacting to the word itself.
I'm glad that std::future invalidates on get() now. That really caught me off guard when I first used the thing.
Agree. If Google just wants Youtube to be an entertainment funnel, it has every right to do so.

If the service you describe exists, it won't survive long. People would begin to swarm such services with rejected videos from Youtube, which you can foresee will be problematic and messy, in the end it might just turned into a 4chan where you can upload video. Hardly an attractive business.
C++ topics are quite frequent on the front page. Maybe not in comparison to rust but C++ is in active development with a lot of useful additions.
I roughed out a LISP interpreter in Bash. Since I just stored s-expressions in bash variables and/or returned s-expressions with echo and/or parsed the parens to compute cdr or car, it was not a big success.
Is that bias if 42% of comments mentioning Trump in their database are toxic, and respectively for Clinton? Those comments could be equally split amongst detractors and supporters.
This is basically Affirm's business too.
This may depend on the location, but for me the pattern is that services are much cheaper in the rural areas (including e.g. eating out) but goods are more expensive, including food - e.g. bread and butter will be noticeably more expensive in the rural small store than in a large town megastore. So if you're wealthy and consume lots of services of others, then that's a nice place to live; but if you're poor and would rather do everything yourself, then the basic necessities (except rent) are more expensive. Getting your oil changed is cheaper than in the big city, but buying oil to change yourself is more expensive. Getting dinner made by someone else is cheaper than in the big city, making dinner yourself is more expensive.

So (in my situation) if you're living in a rural community, you're spending less on your own community (and getting less from them), and spending extra to the other communities. Which is not that nice for the economic health of your community.
The movement wasn't especially violent.

The Civil Rights Act and enforcement of said act tended to be backed up with guns and such. You know, state police escorting little kids to their schools.

As my last project developed, I moved it from simple bash scripts directly to (mostly) python utilities that had their own DSLs.. ansible, supervisord.. I expected to need to look into their source, but given the workarounds in docs and web searches that never seems to need to happen.

The resulting configuration is all configuration and not hardcoded paths mixed with Popen and random custom parsing..

I would consider custom python worse than writing bash with too much logic in the cases where you could just exit with a failure.

I think the question for your coworkers is what are they reinventing and why do they think a custom remake of it isn't a waste of everyone's time? Further, why do they think they will be more employable after making embarrassing custom internal tools? Compare that to knowing how popular tools work and perhaps contributing something small to one of them or at least being able to answer a question about them.
And now we need an adversarial bot that performs substitutions with a thesaurus (including urban dictionary and similar slang) until it finds a result that rates at a desired toxicity level.
fuck no.
Nice, I hadn't seen that yet. I'll have to take a look at it later.
Also interesting is this submarine's home page. It used to be owned by an association of enthusiasts headed by Madsen, by earlier this year there was a prolonged conflict regarding ownership which led to everyone else surrendering their claims and transferring complete ownership to Madsen. The difficulties look similar...
Oh! That makes sense, thank you. It only raises the question though, does anyone really use hexadecimal line numbers? :)
The problem with this, of course, is that the rich would simply leave.

The rich can leave, but the profits their companies generate locally can still be taxed. And they can be taxed more when the money gets sent to wherever those rich people went to.
Thanks but that only has the ones that aren't dead or were sold, the active ones includes ones that probably make no money and still depend on investors to go on
Oops yes you are right that the first two are equivalent.

The big challenge with this is to solve the problem that almost everyone has a "one step too far" when it comes to what type of content we are willing to tolerate and/or what type of content we may get in trouble for hosting even if it is not intentional.

That makes it tricky to for solutions that "put people and free speech first" to succeed, because they've basically painted a giant target on themselves, and it easily makes even a lot of people that sympathise in principle worried about the bits and pieces that steps over their personal line.

Figuring out a reasonable solution to this, I think, will be essential to get more widespread adoptions of platforms like these.

> There may be some interest in relocating specific highly desirable individuals, but they will already be industry insiders.

That is not in any way my experience. For most companies willing to do relocation (including almost any good tech company), the interview bar is the same regardless of your current location. If they decide to hire you, they'll pay for your relation—especially since it's a blip compared to your total comp as a developer.
That seems right though "10% toxic". It's not "10% offensive". It's a judgement as to how likely to inhibit further rational discussion. Presenting as malodourous a slight as you like in well laid out language and with clear thought _is_ less likely to be "toxic" - people can respond, it's when you get back and forth ad-hominems that the conversation has ceased being functional beyond catharsis and "conflict entertainment".

"Men" - 29% likely to be perceived as toxic
"Women" - 34% likely to be perceived as toxic

Google gender bias confirmed.

Seriously, though, I think this tool itself is toxic. I think it's more likely to fuel disagreement than quell it.
The Google memo made a number of points on why women might be less likely to pursue leadership positions. Women prefer lower stress jobs and more social-work balance. Men are more competitive than women and may have more of a natural drive to "reach the top". But the biggest effect I think is that our culture values men based on their job a lot more than women. Men have a lot more pressure to get a high status job.

Note that all of this is purely a "interests based" argument. No one is saying women would make worse leaders than men. As you mention, there might even be some good arguments that they would be better at it. I'm just saying there are good reasons why they might be less interested in pursuing that. As opposed to it all being because of sexism.
Thank you for linking to that. It would seem my knowledge is outdated by 17 years. I've noticed recently I've claimed knowledge of something only to realise it was circa 20 years ago, at which point I then loudly blurt out "Back in my day!".

Do we really? Isn't collapsing, filtering, voting enough? Especially once you have a "I don't want to see any posts by this user" function a reader can quickly purge anything that they don't want to read. Add aggregation ("hide things that person X who shares my views has hidden") if needed.

Given the proximity to physics, that is very often untrue. Because of how abstract logic and maths are, analogies from maths often inform us about the physical world.
