As a user, it's in my benefit if a competitor comes along, takes LinkedIn's data that they are freely publishing on the public Internet, and does something useful with it.

The correct analogy would be if someone took a copy of my personal resume that I put online, freely accessible on the Internet and did something useful with it.

Heck, Google does this already by indexing and providing a directory of public content. The fact that LinkedIn 'allows' them to do this is by virtue that it makes business-sense to do so and drives traffic to their site.

The rule should be plain and simple here: if you put user content online and do not make any efforts to restrict it (i.e. no passwords, no logins), call it "public information", you do not have any rights to say who can and cannot access that content, at the minimum. Unless I'm mistaken, you also cannot claim copyright infringement, as the user technically owns that content as well -- you just have a license to publish it (either to a private or public audience).

It should be up to the user --- and in fact their right --- to police their own content online. Personally, I find it offensive that LinkedIn seeks to restrict the distribution of such content that I have published through their service, where the expectation it is public. They are not acting in my interest here, they are very clearly acting in their own selfish interest, which I find odd considering LinkedIn's supposed mission has always been to empower their users to achieve professional success. How exactly are they empowering me by restricting who I have told them can access my public content? And the fact such restrictions are solely decided by LinkedIn with no input of their users -- the ultimate owners here -- is a disgrace and violation of their own mission statement.

This kind of concept is exactly what the Internet was founded on, folks. To say or think otherwise strikes at the heart of the open web and representing yourself as such is an affront against the great platform that has given rise to so many companies and provided so much opportunity in the world for the individual.

This concept is bigger and more powerful than any one company, and deserves to be defended.
Biologists don't deal with EMRs, healthcare professionals do.

And have you seen the typical EMR? Is there any wonder? These are worse than the typical in-house "enterprise" "webapp" and have made data entry an absolute hassle, a complex nightmare, worse than the days of green-screen vt100. The engineers/managers that produce these beasts are some of the worst villains in healthcare, IMHO. Absolute scammers that take ridiculous amounts of cash to deliver substandard products that make the lives of everyone worse.

Just look at the rates of data export for patients to see how terrible EMR providers are. It's an offense to software engineering.

And then you have the software people blaming the users. Yes, the users. Clearly they're the ones who are at fault for not enjoying their dogfood.
He did today. Seems like his handlers convinced him: His tweets about it seemed pretty crabby. But over the weekend he definitely came off as completely tone-deaf -- to the point of neo-Nazi groups actually wondering if he was supporting them.

I actually don't think that means he supports Nazis. But he's the President. And part of the job is helping the country deal with situations like this.
Boston Marathon all over again...
> CrowdStrike, the firm whose conclusions informed much of the intelligence community's assessment

I don't think this is true at all. I do recall CS releasing their own report in early summer, but my understanding is the January IC assessment was a completely separate document which did not cite the CS report in any way.

(If I am missing something here, happy to be corrected, this aspect just stuck out to me)
No. Doxxing quite specifically is the PUBLIC disclosure of personal details.
Both groups were behaving violently, and he addressed it exactly as such. Unfortunately it ended with the death of a young woman, but the event didn't go from zero to 100 with the car incident. A lot was happening between the two groups to the lead up.

The media wants to build the case that anything against their messaging is extremist, they don't mention Antifa as being a huge instigator in the violence in this event as well, but we don't need them to tell us when we've witnessed it multiple times in California and other cities. Trump in this situation was literally the only adult in the room on this one. Just because he didn't get on board with the manufactured and editorialized talking points doesn't insinuate some nefarious connection to racism and the kkk. It's pretty obvious to most people that he doesn't harbor that ideology.

Fact is, in our country we have a right and an expectation to peacefully assemble in the public square, short of calling for insurrection or openly instigating a riot, Americans are allowed to get on their soapbox and other Americans can choose to ignore or listen.

What happened in Charlottesville was a travesty for civil rights and a complete mess where multiple violent hate groups in conjunction with an all too eager media put an embarrassing show on display.
> literal nazis

Oh give me a break with the Trump hyperbole. Can I ask for a source?
After a literal Nazi literally killed someone at a literal Nazi rally, the President issued a statement in which he said that violence is bad and that both sides were to blame.

Two days later, after basically everyone on the planet (including GOP leadership, because even spineless gutter-feeders can tell what an obvious political slam-dunk this is) had had a chance to suggest to him that maybe the literal Nazis literally killing people were maybe a tiny bit more at fault than the woman that they had killed for standing across the street from them and peacefully counter-protesting, he finally issued another statement saying that white supremacists maybe aren't so great after all.

You'll forgive me for not putting too much stock in the second statement, given the circumstances.
True. But Whataboutism here.

This is incorrect. In one case, Trump won the election by very narrowly winning more popular votes in key states. Those votes could have been influenced by the news.

What the DNC leaks show is also the messiness underbelly of virtually any campaign. You can call it collusion, but I'd say it's the DNC doing their job to try to get an electable candidate on the ballot. The RNC did the same thing - they just failed this time.

Had the Trump team's email leaked in the same way, I suspect the election would have gone the other way.
Twitter has shown that they can and do exert control over what's posted on their platform. No service provider immunity for them, they're aiding and abetting this. They need to get sued, too.
> Lenin didn't fight wars to preserve his right to literally enslave people.

Some have argued that communism enslaves everyone.

> This is still irrelevant to the issue of whether statues of Robert Lee should stand erected in public spaces.

Agreed, especially if the statue is privately owned, but I do wonder if groups like Antifa are calling for the owner of the Lenin statue to be fired.
The White House refused to condemn the KKK, Nazis, or white supremacy by name for more than two days. Until the August 14th statement by the President, the only statement made was on background with no member of the White House staff making attaching their name or office to it.

I believe Attorney General Jeff Sessions made a comment on August 13th.

There are two modes of identity politics.

One recognises diversity and embraces it, including "the others".

Another promotes distinction and faction, and turns these against one another.

As with much else, there's a good kind and a bad kind.

All votes are influenced by the news. That’s how our modern democracy works. You learn about the candidates through a (hopefully free) media and then you cast a vote.
No. Not when there are fascists marching in the street.

And what extreme left are you talking about anyway? What domestic ideology on the left, exactly, are you referring to? Where are they marching down the street to restrict the rights and freedoms of your fellow Americans, to stop individuals living happy and prosperous lives? Do you mean BLM marchers asking not to be victimised? Is that an extreme ideology?

Don't be a sucker.
Fringe and emboldened. This is their closest shot in the modern era and there are more tools than ever to get people split and propagandize them. I'd say their chances are approaching nil, but if there is some supreme fuckup even the chance is scary.

>If you think America is falling under the influence of neo-Nazism, then you're a sucker to the media propaganda. These idiots are such an extreme fringe that I wouldn't even say they represent the "far right." And it's naive to think the FBI isn't half-way up the colons of every one of these fringe groups.

This was precisely the common sentiment surrounding the SA in 1920's Germany. Ernst Röhm was a borderline mentally retarded street thug until Hitler gave him a uniform. When these idiots are allowed to run amok awful and unforeseeable things happen because, being losers already, they have nothing to lose.

This is a bit long, but I know the answer in detail because I'm the one who originally wrote to code to make 32-bit plugins work in 64-bit Firefox on OS X :) I'll never forget the moment I first got a YouTube video to play properly in 64-bit Firefox with 32-bit Flash.

It was much easier to do on OS X than on Windows. That's primarily because on OS X, at least at the time, Firefox was a Universal Binary, meaning there were complete 32-bit and 64-bit binaries for OS X in the same application package. We had been doing this for reasons I won't get into here, but they were unrelated to running plugins with mismatched bit-ness. That being the case though, we "just" (devil is in the details) started a 32-bit child process, which had all the same functionality (e.g. plugin code implementation) as the 64-bit process, and made sure that plugin API data going between the processes was always fixed length (e.g. int32 vs plain int) so there was no misinterpretation.

Mozilla could probably have done something very similar on Windows, but they weren't already installing both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries on every Windows machine. Doing that just for the sake of plugins would, at a minimum, have been a big bullet to bite. And there was/is no nice Universal Binary package equivalent on Windows.

Also, and this gets more nitty-gritty, the NPAPI plugin API on OS X was much easier to get working across two processes of different bit-ness. This was mainly because we had recently revised the OS X NPAPI (we called it Cocoa NPAPI or something like that) and got Adobe and many others to switch. The revised API was much easier to work with. The ancient Windows NPAPI was, and is, a total f*ing mess.
Tangential question: when did using the term sucker to describe a gullible person start? I would have guessed it would be a lot more recent than 1947. Now I am curious.

Those are good, too. Keeping pollinators happy is part of the maintenance of growing food plants. That said, many of the things pollinators like, at least in areas where I've had gardens, are wildflowers and grow like weeds (and are treated as weeds by many) when given a friendly environment. So, they can be very low maintenance.

You accuse others of using misleading language, then proceed to use misleading language yourself. Calling the primary "fraudulent" makes it sound like primary votes were miscounted, but of course there is no evidence of that either. (Unless you count the controversy over a voter roll 'purge' in NY, but that (a) didn't cover enough voters to make a significant difference, (b) probably benefitted Sanders anyway, and (c) was not the subject of any revelations from the leaks.)

No, some NP-hard problems are outside NP (i.e. harder than NP), while some are inside. The wikipedia article has a good explanation and a good diagram: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NP-hardness
Or the US flag and almost every statue in the country. A native american friend in college said the US flag represents the same thing to them that the swastika represents to jews. Should we take down all the flags?

After a certain point, you have to forgive and forget and move on or society is going to break down. Especially a nation like ours filled with the unparalleled horrors.

Everything from our money, our schools, our cities, etc honor a slave owner or someone who participated in the genocide of the natives. Even MLK was an abusive wife beater and we have a day named for him.

Having said that, I can see the other side. A native american certainly has a lot of valid grievances when it comes to the US. I can see how a A black person doesn't want to go to a school named for a slave owner.

It's hard to see how we fix things. Do we have a wholesale purging like germany did after ww2 when they removed all glorification of the nazis? How practical is that in a nation like the US?

Where is the happy medium? Can a divisive issue like this ever lead to a common ground or a compromise?
Every reference to Nazis on that page is about his father's association with the Hungarian Historical Order of Vitéz.

Apparently, that group worked with the Nazis during WW2, but "this Order granted Gorka's father, Paul Gorka, their title in 1979 in recognition of his resistance to the post-war Soviet occupation of Hungary".

Do you have some reason to believe he or his father is (or was) a Nazi? There's no evidence of that on that Wikipedia page.

>if you find an efficient optimal algorithm the problem moves between the classes

This hasn't ever happened.

You can prove an algorithm is in NP-hard by reducing another NP-hard problem to it. You can prove an algorithm is in P by showing the algorithm.

If you find and efficient algorithm to a problem in NP-hard, you show P == NP. No one has ever done this.

P != NP is considered by many to be most likely true.

"young mammal before it is weaned," late 14c., agent noun from suck. Slang meaning "person who is easily deceived" is first attested 1836, American English, on notion of naivete; the verb in this sense is from 1939. But another theory traces the slang meaning to the fish called a sucker (1753), on the notion of being easy to catch in their annual migrations. Meaning "lollipop" is from 1823.

I am!

Sorry, I'm trying not to be defensive or argumentative, just to make this important point understood: when we are talking about physiological healing brought about by changes in emotions or beliefs, we are most likely talking about the exact same mechanism as what is commonly dismissed as the placebo effect.

The point is that it shouldn't be dismissed; it should be embraced.
Disclaimer: I'm not defending nazis, murderers, or nazi murderers.

Trump's statement seems thoughtless but it's not completely incorrect. For months we've had antifa protesters who have gotten into violent fights with nazis and alt-right supporters at rallies. There's a lot of people very proud of that.

At the very least at this rally there were antifa protesters carrying bats and wearing helmets, using pepper spray, etc. Now whether that's justified is another issue, but a lot of us would like it if the fringes of both sides would chill out, before violence they can't control breaks out as it so often can do.

I feel like this validates my tendency to deal with a serious Low Mood by turning out the lights, lying on the floor with headphones on, and listening to the saddest, loneliest music in my collection for a while. I'm gonna feel sad whatever I do, and I may as well make some time to give in to really feeling sad and getting it out of the way.

When I feel bad I generally do a quick mental checklist: Have I drunk any water lately? Have I eaten? Have I had my pills? Usually the answer to at least one of those is 'no' and I feel better after correcting them. Then since my need for a warm place to sleep is pretty well settled, it jumps up a few notches to checking when the last time I cuddled someone was, how I feel about my current project, etc.
