What jurisdiction are you/the publishers in?

Some thoughts not constituting legal advice:

If a logo is an RTM then probably the company name is too.

Usually the important line is "commercial" vs non-commercial; that said in USA, at least, use of a trademark doesn't become infringing just because it's used commercially.

If you're just wearing a tshirt you made with "AT&T sucks" on it will anyone who cares at AT&T ever see it, if they sue for damages what's their claim going to be based on - like are you intending to cause substantial damage somehow?

You could be less cagey about your specific intentions if you want actual applicable "opinion".
Interesting. Firefox' developer console does not understand this kind of request properly and shows its termination after the first frame. Chromium on the other hand handles it correctly.
The bike/ped improvements haven't done anything for the massive traffic jam the bridge causes. Even at non peak hours, such as 2pm in the afternoon there can be a quarter mile of cars lined up waiting to get on it from the west side.
I do not see credit cards as the biggest problem. There is some incentive to abuse them, but using them every day is not the problem. I use them all the time, pay them off each month and enjoy benefits and protections not available via debit cards (so I have only of those and only use it when I'm in Europe :) ).

I personally see the incentives to borrow a hell of a lot of money to buy a house or a college education as much bigger issue.
I was a bit creeped out the other day when I was off work sick, and Google play music offered up a "working from home" radio station.
That being said, I had a different conclusion than you, as did many others about the intention of the article. The repressed outrage seems like a decent way to explain some of the points so I see where you are coming from.
Complaining about government as paternalistic intervenor ignores the right of people to shape government to work on their behalf, which is the reason they are instituted to begin with.

Anigbrowl, I'm sure you and I are just going to have to disagree on that one.

The purpose of the federal government in the USA is to execute its duties in the Constitution within its enumerated powers agreed to by the States that ratified it, along with the amendments that have been agreed upon since. Ultimately, the Constitution was constructed in such a way as to protect individual liberty while minimizing the chance that the government would become too powerful. Mechanisms such as the checks and balances and enumerated government powers were put in there explicitly to constrain those in government and prevent them from thinking that they could shape the government however they wanted without fundamentally altering the Constitution through new amendments.

Treating the government like it's a parent there to fix all problems for the children has led to failed state after failed state as leaders assume more and more power over their people. Venezuela is the latest in a long line of where the paternalistic intervenor view of government leads. It's a shame that societies never seem to learn that lesson. My FB feed is full of my more left-leaning friends' laments of how Trump is in control of the American government. But the left still doesn't seem to grasp the fact that Trump isn't as bad as it can get - assuming he doesn't do something that makes things even worse. Keep increasing the power of government and a future incarnation of Trump will really terrify you.
The "notion" may be "destructive" in your opinion, but it doesn't make it less true.

Best weather in the country. July and August are hot, Ill give you that, but the rest of the year is awesome. And given I work and live in air-conditioned buildings, and have a huge pool in my backyard, July and August ain't too bad.
Are you really getting value? Or are you just not bothering anymore to conserve a resource when it's less expensive to waste it?
"Like everyone on the planet." What planet is that, the USarth? Had to google it.
It's not ad hominem because I'm not trying to rebut your argument. In fact, I'm explicitly saying I'm not engaging with the argument you keep making. Your post just underlines that you're not actually listening to the people you're talking to.

If the browser only keeps compressed frames, 16 GB will last for more than a year.
If you want to gamble on starting your own business it's amazing how much money you can easily borrow on credit cards.
Agreed. If it were a list I'd gladly tick it over. But I am hesitant to add a new extension.
What is this list of most countries? I am certain this is illegal in Sweden, for example.
If you can distribute the hash to all users, you can probably distribute the blocklist as well. The size isn't the problem.

It's not automatically infringement, depends on many things. Not going to speculate on specifics, as IANAL.
Thank you good Sir.
> This model was trained by asking people to rate internet comments on a scale from "Very toxic" to "Very healthy" contribution. Toxic is defined as... "a rude, disrespectful, or unreasonable comment that is likely to make you leave a discussion."

> asking people

Gotta wonder: which people?

The examples are good though, I just hope the general results are consistent with that quality level.
It is extremely unlikely that even if there has ever been an intelligent life there, it's at a similar civilization development stage to ours, today. It took ~4B years to get where we are today on this planet, but the age of our civilization is only about a hundred thousand years. In a few thousand years our civilization will advance so much that it will be completely unrecognizable (or cease to exist), so you're asking for either an overlap in two extremely short historical windows, on planets developing independently for billions of years, or you expect their civilization to be stuck at about our level for many millions of years.
It would be healthy for HN moderators to ingest this article. Even well mannered and well intended messages that do not necessarily agree with progressive dogma, are consistently down-modded. That's a shame.
My question is whether there is even a provision in the law that enables Github to challenge the notice.
Last time I checked it wasn't even possible to access messages from the mobile web app. That's why I stopped using Tinfoil for Facebook.

I guess that was a good thing because now I hardly ever check my FB, and if I do it's from desktop.
Will irony and sarcasm be detected?
A diverse set of people with exactly the same opinion
Really not a fan of these types of technology, with the subtleties of language such as sarcasm and irony, and then you've got approved narratives and taboo subjects, and those times where the minority is right and is under attack by the mob.

I'd only support this tech as a filter for human moderators and not as an automated system.
If you let people see their toxicity rating, they'll just learn to game the system. Of course, more indirect or poetic insults might be an improvement.
Not sure how I feel about this. Allowing publishers to get compensated directly for the quality of their material theoretically improves it. But not allowing students to reference it after the class seems dodgy. But I can't remember any college textbook I've ever referred to post-university, either.
Ok, I will bite. I do not think blanked statements "CS or fools" make any sense, but I think a number of folks who dedicated 4-8 years of their lives to getting a liberal arts degree did this without a clear idea of what they can realistically expect at the end and making backup plans.

A PhD in English or French culture may make sense, but one must realize that professional opportunities outside academia are sparse and number of positions in academia is small.
It was mocked before on national tv when national tv was still a thing. It killed any hope for that product. It was mocked on tv, comics, and everyone who did a review. Heck, the Simpsons mocked it long after. It had plenty of billboard quality features (the intelligent stuff was practically built for ads) much more than its simpler, limited competition.
what? O.o I use this in Keepass to store quick-login links for some that still require http basic auth (though, haven't tested these for a while). Do you have any link on the deprecation?
How do you even define "toxic"?

I pasted this comment from the recent diversity manifesto:

> I’m simply stating that the distribution of preferences and abilities of men and women differ in part due to biological causes and that these differences may explain why we don’t see equal representation of women in tech and leadership.

The page says it's 2% toxic. What does that mean? 2% of the population would find it toxic? There is a 2% chance someone would find it toxic? The API is 2% confident that it is toxic? And more importantly, toxic in the sense that it is verbal harassment? Or just plain illogical? Or logically sound but with an absurd premise?

I suspect that it is only able to detect more emotional comments, but will fail to detect utterly unfounded, totally disproved arguments that are communicated under the veil of reason.
Google are the most literal incarnation of Big Brother I could possibly imagine at this point.
I really wonder whether hiding these comments would simply lead to even more echo chamber effects. Censoring (or "hiding") online speech is a fine line to walk.
I guess I'm missing the point. If this is a growing trend in communication, why pretend it doesn't exist?
This is subtlety riskier for people whom don't fully grasp WoT model or whom blindly trust an external source, ie keybase, without in-person key id validation. GPG/GNU/FOSS and tech meetups need to vigilantly promote GPG key-signing/sharing events more and underscore its importance.

PS: I wish GPG had better marketing / public multicast/broadcast communication.
I assume you meant the top 10%. In the US 56% of people will spend a year or more in the top 10%. 12% of people will spend a year or more in the top 1%.

I'm disappointed (in pony) that one suggest is to use tuple instead of a class, and in general avoid naking little clases.

One often overlooked benefit of c++ (and I am sure other langyages) is that I can wrap one or two ints in a class, add some constructors and little member functions, and be fairly confident the whole lot will get inlined and compiled away.
Why is this so much easier on Android than iOS? On iOS microphone access requires explicit user permission, so you have to use social engineering to convince them to give it. And app review theoretically can catch apps that leave an audio channel open.
This is really neat. Especially since they have the api results in the page so you can test out how toxic a phase it.

It begs the game - make the most toxic comment that can fly under the radar. If they started using this in youtube comments, reddit, etc, at least the comment would be more original.

I got a 30% toxicity with:

"I believe the intelligence of climate change deniers is likely to be zero. Furthermore, they have the body oder of a kind of ogre."

Can you do better?
I wish I could mod-down Backpropaganda.... Your blather provides the perfect example of what the author is trying to elucidate upon.
Google is turning into a newspeak horror show.
Yes. The book sent me in a treacherous path and it wasn't easy but today I can say I'm working remote, 3 hours/day (minimum though) and earning a good living.
Problem is, I am ambitious and end up working the whole deal, and investing every bit of earnings while preparing for the future. But happily.
Still, I can say this book sent me on the path.
2018 Subaru STi vs. Civic Type R vs. Focus RS Review – Battle of the Year
I work at BelWü and can confirm we're hosting the current version.
I recently developed a neural network model which can predict the reaction to a given text/comment with reasonably low error (I'll be open-sourcing the model soon).

There are a few caveats with using these approaches:

1) Toxicity is heavily contextual, not just by topic (as the demo texts indicate), but also by source; at the risk of starting a political debate, a comment that would be considered toxic by the NYT/Guardian (i.e. the sources Google partnered with) may not regarded by toxic on conservative sites. It makes training a model much more difficult, but it's necessary to do so to get an unbiased, heterogenous sample.

2) When looking at comments only, there's a selection bias toward "readable" comments, while anyone who has played online games know that toxic commentary is often less "Your wrong" and more "lol kill urself :D"

3) Neural networks still have difficulty with sarcastic comments and could miscontrue sarcasm as toxic, which users on Hacker News would absolutely never believe.
"Americans" can also mean "people living in the Americas".
Ocean crossings in boats without GPS are hard.
> The really interesting question is : why did "experts" ever think the opposite?

No evidence.

In all fairness, such evidence would be hard to find because at the time sea-level was 400 feet lower than it is today. It is likely that the best archaeological sites are now underwater. The article of course mentions this. In fact, the article mentions one location in British Columbia (Quadra island) where post-glacial rebound was so great that near-sea-level sites during the last ice-age are still above sea-level today. But that investigation is relatively recent.
PG seems like a good guy and there doesn't seem to be evidence or allegations. He co-founded YC with a woman who he attributes a lot of the companies success to. YC did a lot for ALL founders during his stead.

The point is, in a climate which was less politically charged He, a person who has no track record, is still painted as someone who is part of the problem.

Some ramifications:

- people find these stories less credible

- alienation of allys either directly or indirectly

- undue backlash

- distrust of media (interviewer and audience)

- lowers bar for being a "bad person" and creates noise. E.g. PGs quote vs. McClure's actions potentially grouped into the same convo.

It's so hard to see both sides of things now in a climate much more intense and does less due diligence.

Tldr: Agenda first journalism is causing more problems than it solves.
Not entirely on topic, obviously, but whatever: there's a strange emphasis on the male pronoun in the first paragraph of this, that at first seems like a kind of horrible hiccup from the past, but then, through its repetition, becomes more clearly a sardonic gendering of the programmer-user from above, which is excellent (if true)
I urge you to report this inhumane case and follow-up with a "show HN" (I filed an ICC case, then THIS happened).

It seems that any words with a curse in the middle automatically get ~41% toxic. Scunthorpe must be a toxic place.
I've never seen a backtest that wasnt amazing. Problem is that there are so many errors, mistakes, statistical biases that creep into a study. Without a proper review by multiple people before publishing, chances or you will be plain wrong. I subscribe to the strong EMH. Only way to make money in the markets is to either insider trade (which will certainly land you in jail) or be a service provider.
Stupid me. Thanks for the catch.

Gynvael turned me on to your RE list on GH by the way. You're awesome in your own right!

But libertarian thought paves the way for concentrated power and even relies upon it. Wealth, which libertarians believe can gotten from self-determination alone, does not accrue without legally enforced property relations (state monopolized justice/violence).

Self-determination without other anarchist values of mutual aid and solidarity creates classist society. I don't want to live in a classist society. I don't have an interest in a political critique which remains imminent to capitalist values and society.

I'd also add that libertarian thought in practice leads to abhorrent entities such as the Cato institute and the Atlas Network.
Google needs to be broken up. They have too much power.
>there's too few of them

Absolutely, yes! I'm just not holding my breath for public opinion to turn around on whether condo towers and the developers who build them are good or evil.

>in part because land that could be used to build a bunch more

In minuscule part. Mostly, land is taken up by buildings that are too short.

>a single spot is taking the place of multiple condos

This presumes a building height that I assure you would get laughed out of the Zoning Adjustments Board hearing room.

Each parking space enables timely access to much more square feet of land than any residential construction project would contemplate. (Up to the point where the road network breaks down due to congestion, which is why I think affordability in those cities is probably a lost cause).

> yet they somehow manage to have a middle class.

Probably because their electorates are able to distinguish between mid-rise apartment blocks and Satan, just like they distinguish between single-payer healthcare and the USSR.
I probably would when talking about the first people in those specific places. Or the first Europeans in Europe, Africans in Africa, Asians in Asia, Americans in the Americas, etc.

"American" also describes the citizens of that one state with the word "America" in the name, which sometimes leads to ambiguity, but not here.
Vi is not vim
Chomsky thought the world would be better if any person that ever figured out a better way to do things was beaten to death before their idea becomes a large corporation that millions of people would willingly chose to patronize.
I like how all the safest ones are the ones defending climate change.

I wish they train their models against non political data to avoid potential partisan bias. The current approach is a bit ridiculous.
I've also found that the permissions aren't nearly granular enough. Should Google Maps be allowed to use my GPS when it's open? Sure, if I allow it.

But there's no way for me to allow it only when Maps is open.
Financing Suburbia: How government mortgage policy determine where you live
There seems to be a lot of confusion about what's implied and what's known. I think I've IDed an accurate timeline:

19:00 - Madsen and journalist depart for a trial run for a story that she's writing.

22:30 - Madsen claims he dropped the journalist off at this time, at a restaurant at the North end of the island.

02:30 - Journalist's husband reports her missing.

02:50 - Repeated attempts to reach the sub via radio are unsuccessful.

03:40 - Sub is reported missing by the police.

07:00 - General alarm set for Baltic, instructing all vessels to look for the sub.

10:15 - Sub spotted by Harbor Master in Koge Bay, South of where it was meant to be. Harbor Master talks to Madsen who claims he hadn't been in contact due to technical issues but is heading for harbor.

11:00 - Passing vessel sees the sub with Madsen on the tower. Madsen disappears below deck, then returns to the tower and the sub begins to sink. In 30 seconds, it's completely submerged and Madsen is rescued. Madsen tells the rescuers that he was the only passenger.

17:45 - After interviewing the journalist's family and Madsen, Madsen is placed under arrest for the death of the journalist. Madsen maintains that he dropped her off near a restaurant at 22:30 the previous day.

It's indicated that the location where Madsen claimed to drop her off is blanketed with security cameras (whose footage the police have). The sub has been raised and will be inspected shortly. This isn't at all a case of "he panicked when the sub sank", there's a nearly 12-hour gap in his known location and even if you believe his story, the journalist that he dropped off at a restaurant hasn't been seen in a few days now.
Can you recommend a paid email service that is reputable?
You can't have liberty without "state monopolized justice/violence".
Really? I feel that Facebook (especially the Company as a whole, not just the facebook.com site) takes that place.
>it sounds like Mathematics doesn't have many real world applications.

When it comes to Pure Mathematics, isn't that true in general?
Same discrepancy between reality and rhetoric. Stated goal: eliminate all of a thing for moral reasons. Actual goal: eliminate the easiest majority of a thing for economic reasons.
An API for censorship, that really is something.

One of our great facets as humans is the ability to sort through information and come to opinions based on it.

We come pre-equipped with our own API for critical reasoning, honed by thousands of years of evolution, and with a training set of everything we've ever done and seen.

Why would I want to use a copy of that, that at best will only replicate human biases?

And that risks sidelining perfectly valid viewpoints? Does something have to be expressed in college-educated grammar to even be read with this in place? What are the consequences of that?

My first instinct, and I hope yours, was to push back the slider.

EDIT: I pasted the first paragraph of the Google diversity memo into it, and it got a "10% likely to be perceived as toxic" score. Make of that what you will.
I also feel this applies to Google. It's really difficult to hire female engineers right now because there aren't enough of them.

That doesn't mean they aren't capable or able or interested, it just means if you look st, for example, the graduating classes of CS majors, they're disproportionately male. It's hard for a company (or an accelerator) to fix that.

Facebook is right on their heels
You have a point. In a certain light, The Sims is a more complex version of Conway's Game of Life, with its simple life-or-death rules for the cells in the game.
I don't believe it's possible to be unbiased - whether as a news site or as a moderation filter. It's better to be aware of your biases than to fool yourself into believing they don't exist.
Let's say everybody got the necessary education to follow your path. Can Silicon Valley absorb the 27 million unemployed or underemployed workers in the US?
