That's interesting you like it. Speakers always make fun of it as a duct-tape language (Arabic, Berber, French, Turkish, Spanish, and Italian).

Interestingly, as a student of Hebrew, Algerian is much closer to Hebrew than to Arabic MSA. Arabic suffixes a word with one or two letters for possessive, for example "House[letter that communicates subject]", whereas Hebrew and Algerian create a structure that goes like "The house of mine/his".

Learning Hebrew, Arabic makes it easier for a lot of words but Algerian structure makes me "get it".

Thanks for providing more context (and everyone else). I'm honestly speechless after reading that.
Please see my update to my comment, which I think went up after your comment.
I try and use separate passwords on every site, essential or not. That way if something like this happens it isn't really much of a big deal.

After all, who can ever know that even a large site like Facebook or Twitter or Google or Hacker News is storing your password securely? You usually can't, so you may as well be cautious and not reuse passwords for any service.
My thought before opening this thread.

I thought the AI hype is over again but apparantly not.
The screaming-monster image and the context-free exhortation to switch to Chrome (no, thanks!) do very little to inform me about what Allo is or why I would want to use it. This does not strike me as a particularly good design.
Biological perspectives are relevant in any discussion involving human behavior. We are biological organisms, our mood and behavior are governed by chemical responses in our brain.

I guess we are in tech so we should be able to suppress all the impulses, desires, and feelings that have been carved into us over hundreds of thousands of years of evolution.

Because many managers hear "AMP gets boosted in search results and a special icon" and stop hearing anything after that. The number of times I've had to tell people "No, you can't do that with AMP" is crazy.
And yet for some reason we don't see articles asking why the more dangerous and less glamorous careers don't have more women in them. Almost like the aim is not equality, but special treatment for women.
>Not as advantageous as a table saw if you need to do a lot of identical cuts;

You can do repeated identical cuts if you buy extra accessories for the tracksaw.[1] (I assume we're talking about "repeated cuts" using stops instead of constantly re-measuring with a ruler.) The parallel guides work ok but it's a lot more work to set up and dynamically adjust widths than a table saw's sliding fence.

If you like to use table saws to cut dados, rabbets, and slots for box/drawer joints, a tracksaw isn't as useful for that. Might have to get a router for those cuts in addition to the miter saw when supplementing a tracksaw.

The flak that Trump is getting is not because he did not condemn white supremacist groups, it is because he said both groups are same. One was there preaching the idea of owning other people and violence, the second was there to ask for equality.

BLM and KKK may both be violent, but they are being violent for different reasons. You can condemn the violence without equating them. It is like saying Nelson Mandela and Pablo Escobar are same because they fought government and went to prison.
Hitler placed almost all of the blame for German hardships on the 1% (racial stereotype: Jews). This may also be a good time to point out that Nazi stands for National Socialist.

Craigslist is organized primarily by neighborhood: if you go to sfbay.craigslist.com and visit apts/housing, the first level filter is by region (east bay, north bay, SF, peninsula, etc), and then before you even get to the type of housing, the next-level filter is by neighborhood (Mission, Potrero, Sunset, etc.) These regional filters are virtually useless for someone moving out of state; if I go to portland.craigslist.com and the top-level filters are clark/clackamas/multnomah/etc, I have no idea what these even mean. Even getting to another metro area's Craigslist is a challenge; if I hit www.craigslist.com, it defaults to sfbay.craigslist.com, and to go elsewhere requires finding the tiny "other US cities" link on the front page (the default is "Nearby", which gives other California cities) and selecting a metro area.

All this facilitates within-region moves at the expense of between-region moves.

If I go to ApartmentList.com, it defaults to San Francisco, but right underneath the three local metro areas (ironically, it doesn't have San Jose, where I am) are glossy photographs of Atlanta, Austin, Charlotte, Chicago, and 12 other metro areas. And if I click on one of them, the first filters that come up are by price, size, and amenities. Everything is located on a map, and I don't need to know anything about local neighborhoods.

ApartmentList is clearly using "people who are looking to move between cities" as their market segmentation and features for them as a differentiator, which is great, but also means that their data is suspect if generalized to the population as a whole.

(As for anecdata; I'd say that among my friends and acquaintances close enough to keep tabs on their life, maybe 50% are looking to move out of the Bay Area at some point, including myself & my wife. But only three - out of a sample size of several dozen, perhaps close to a hundred - have actually done it, and two of those moved back to their hometown to be close to family when kids arrived. Moving cities is a big commitment; people dream of it, but few do it.)
The problem with F# evangelism is that it doesn't exist. No one is evangelizing F#; everyone is evangelizing functional programming. F# is the Python of .NET - it's multi-paradigmatic and you can do whatever you want. Sell it to people that way, and let them get into functional concepts later, or never.

F# has a huge opportunity in the enterprise. A ton of enterprise C# code is not object oriented at all, it's big, poorly thought out clumps of imperative script wrapped in methods and classes so it can be compiled or fit into the framework that's calling it. Sometimes it'll get a quick last pass run on it to make it "more object oriented", because that's what C# code is supposed to be; this usually just makes it worse. It's written in a scripting mindset: the developer needs to get things done, and adds code and bangs on stuff until it compiles and looks right when it runs in the debugger.

F# is actually well suited to this style of development, but it's hard to find anything about it, because every F# tutorial, book and blog post is actually about functional concepts, functional design, functional thinking and functional programming, including this one.

If you want to sell F# to enterprise developers, show them how they can write their C# code in it without having to pretend that it's object oriented anymore, and how that's a good thing.

Yes, and I didn't know that either until I tried it out. My regular FB account is "deactivated", but Messenger works just fine. They seem to have decoupled both products some time ago.
I meant more along the lines of NIMBYism (which should really be NIYBYism since it's about what other people do on their property).

I guess caring about your neighbor's politics is just NIMBYism of the mind.

It's kind of a catch22 since wanting to live in a community where people don't care if your opinions are different or if you want to raise rabbits for food makes you one of the people who cares about what other people care about
insurance offers discount for car alarms and lo jack, and that drives purchase of those items.
Pension funds do this already to a degree. Everyone pays in, the funds invest in all sorts of things, so everyone kinda owns bits of everything in a capitalist way.

Of course it's obfuscated enough that it's hard to know what you own a piece of, but it doesn't have to be that way.

Prepare to have your mind blown: it's possible to both dislike contemporary leftist idpol and still think Nazis are indisputably much worse.
A neo-Nazi killed someone and Trump's first response was to condemn all hate and violence. Was that some sort of secrete white supremacist code that meant hate and violence from neo-Nazis is totes cool? Is that seriously your narrative?

Hello, I don't trade crypto and I never will.

I'll give you one tip.

Look at a graph of bitcoin, litecoin etc. that extends past the last bubble and collapse and ask yourself if you are willing to eat those kinds of losses if they occur again.

Where can we report other sites to Cloudflare that we feel they should stop supporting with their services for ethical reasons?
I think of a heuristic more as a procedure that works only in certain cases, than as a numerical approximation. A good example is solving differential equations. There's no algorithm for that AFAIK -- all we have is a mental database of forms of such equations that have been solved. When faced with one to solve, we pattern-match it against our database, and if we have a match, we know the solution. This works okay as long as our database is big enough to contain all the kinds of equations we actually care about for whatever domain we're modeling, but it's always possible to come up with one whose solution isn't known yet.

(Someone will correct me if I have the facts wrong, but even if this isn't true for differential equations, there are certainly areas of mathematics where it is true.)
That's not what "64-bit system" means. "64-bit system" means that addresses (i.e. pointers) are 64 bits wide, not ints.
When a good is in limited supply, yes, it's trivially true that increasing supply will allow more people to use that good. That is not the same as saying that more supply will drive up demand or prices, merely that more of the existing demand will be met.

The difference between housing and cars-on-the-road is that housing is generally seen as a positive thing that people get real value out of, whereas cars-on-the-road are an unfortunate side effect of people not having housing near where they live. We explicitly want fewer people to drive into our cities; on the contrary we want more people living in housing near where they want to be.

To put it another way, if you really think that building more housing will make things worse, then why not argue for the destruction of existing housing stock to make things better?

Or do you think we're at a peak, where we have built just the right amount of housing and we should just leave it alone? I guess there probably is some amount that's just right for each city, though I have no idea what we'd have to look at to figure out that number.

I really don't get the downvotes.

This isn't just a right-leaning political group, these are neo-nazis, complete with the salute, the swastikas, the whole nine yards.

Why would anyone want to go to bat for them? We fought a war against this ideology. We've seen where it goes.
Both groups deserve equal protection under the law and should have the right to assemble. Any violence against either one is equally problematic. The content of their shitty messages is irrelevant.
I wondered this awhile back. albeit I took it in a different direction...

I think that social media already gives you opportunities to do things when you login with your social media account. I think in the future (and probably already happening) you get discounts for sharing your social media data and that higher classes (or wealthier people) can afford to not share that information which is why they will not use it. I do not think it will get to the point like it did in 15 million merits (see Black Mirror episode) but something along those lines, specifically money allows you to save time and 'purchase' privacy by not having to use these things that require your privacy in order to use because you can afford not to.

note: I deleted my facebook in 2008. I lost touch with a number of people, but the time I saved has been immeasurable.
My techie friends in New York tend to be the ones taking the interesting vacations because they have a lot more money.

New York and Bay Area tech companies can pay two or three times what the suburban office park type companies pay, and they have other benefits that add up as well (i.e. fully-paid tiny-copay health insurance). While housing costs will eat into that somehwat, whether you rent or buy, I don't think that they come close to cancelling out that increase.

Then, when we do go on vacation, there are more flights, since we're near major international airports. Since I live near EWR and JFK, I don't really need to consider connecting flights for European vacations, for example.

There are other less objective things for describing a "nice life", of course (IMO, renting vs. buying should be categorized as one of these, neither is superior). For example, non-chain restaurant availability, quality of cultural institutions, etc.
A site to watch is Rootbocks.

They have been the fundraising site of choice for white nationalists & Nazis involved in violence. The latest fundraiser is from the Nazis involved in the murder of Heather Heyer[1]. One of those attending has cheered stabbings before[2], calling it a war they were engaged in. His name is Matthew Heimbach, he is a Nazi, and he has already been in legal trouble for assaulting someone at a Trump rally[3].

Rootbocks recently lost their original host[4] after people realized kicking Nazi's asses was as easy as contacting unknowing companies to detail who their customers were[5].

After searching around for new hosts they appeared to of moved to a different domain, now using Rootbocks.co instead of .com until they are able to migrate the .com domain.

These types are to be treated like sites pushing malware, their hosts are to be contacted and pressured before their IP space can be tainted by clusters of Nazis & others promoting terrorism and violent attacks. If clickfraud is serious enough to pressure hosts into removing users then Nazis urging the purging of 'Jews and genetic filth' via violent means surely counts.

Hacker News: How's that work?
This is true. However, while jokes are not expressly against the rules, the community moderation rarely favors them. Personally, I read a lot of Slashdot, and to some degree enjoy the level of humor, political debate, and anonymous commentary there. I find that the signal to noise ratio here is somewhat better. I don't think it likely that anyone would be banned for exclusively making joke comments, but generally I think the expectation is that while informative or insightful commentary may also be humorous, the primary purpose here is not entertainment.

an annual phone survey saying they want to live elsewhere

If you were to ask me if I'd rather live elsewhere, in absolute terms, according to the purest form of truth, the answer is Yes. That question, taken as a bald query, with no specifically enforced context is often true for many, if not most, people. I would prefer to live in Shangri-la, or perhaps any tropical paradise, if possible.

Does that mean I want to live elsewhere within the intended interpretation for the context of that particular survey?

I think this post is very good and is the most honest coverage of the guy I've seen. The systems that enable these types of behavior should be broken down. A guy like him is a drop in a bucket.
Sure, as long as you define identity political groups to allow things like subjugating and terrorizing other groups, sure.

Treating violent white nationalists like just another "political identity" is disingenuous. Like saying ISIS members are "just Muslims".

We treat identity groups with violent tendencies as terrorists (but only prosecute if their skin is brown)

Actually the release of Puppeteer is a really exciting development. I've been waiting for some time for something like this to happen. We've seen what happened to PhantomJS (almost 2k open issues and main maintainer stepping down without a successor), NightmareJS (lots of unreplied issues for months, probably the project is not a strategic part of Segment) and so on. In theory it is great for an individual or an established startup to drive a web browser automation project. But in reality, the scope of web browser automation simply gets out of hand very quickly. There are just too much edge cases to support for a fast-changing domain.

Being driven by a large commercial entity actually has a chance of making it work out. With the browser automation tool and the browser dev team being one team, there can be synergies not possible otherwise. When I spoke to CasperJS creator some time ago, I can understand why there will be burnout. Referring to the popular Chromeless project launched less than a month ago, there are already 150+ new issues and 100+ still open, and they already have enough pipelines for a few releases ahead. It can be a nightmare to manage.

There's just too many needs from a large user-base for such projects. I'm speaking from the context of test automation and general browser automation.
> an unexpected drift in the clocks

In every kind of clock.

I would hope in this scenario that that would have been noticed and it would have aroused sufficient curiosity to investigate and eventually discover that the effect was due to time itself flowing at a different rate.
The crazy thing is that content websites insist they need dozens of ad and analytics libraries on every page because otherwise, how would they monetize their site? So, they create a crappy experience, realize it's crappy, then switch to AMP, getting rid of all the libraries they supposedly "needed". They could just remove the cruft themselves and cut out the middleman.
I agree that this particular article probably doesn't introduce any new ideas into conversation. However, I think it's important to continue dialogue on methods of action to combat this phenomenon. Realistically, while there are more and more articles and comments like this, the fact of the matter is that Facebook's growth and monetization is not slowing at an appreciable rate at all, and their methods have not substantially changed (if anything, they have changed for the worse as they concentrate more and more on monetization).
