I pasted the offending Arabic into Google translate and got "Become them" (https://translate.google.com/#auto/en/%D9%8A%D8%B5%D8%A8%D8%...).

Bing just says "become", Translate.com and Cambridge dictionaries have "Come in the morning to them".

Yandex says "ISG world"!

All a bit odd or downright weird but none so threatening as Facebook's. Was Facebook's translation engine sabotaged?

How does that happen?

I know that "googlebombing" google translate used to be a thing as i have seen it done fairly often(usually stuff like translating android to iphone etc) in the Danish/English translator, where the fact that a few votes could change a words meaning.

I wondering if what happened here is a less harmless version of that were a group of people deliberately messing with crowd sourced translation tools, and if facebook have any kind of sanity checking on their translate function or if they are as vulnerable as google translate to that kind of manipulation?

Website by a dentist to help anyone with dental problems
Hi everyone,

As you probably already know, most cities are saturated with dental offices yet so many people who need dental care do not seek professional help right away. As a dentist, I realize a dental clinic is not everyone’s favorite place to be. Many people fear the anticipation of pain or even dentists in general, and certain treatments can be quite expensive without dental benefits.

Having these facts in mind, I created a free self-checking tool called DentalChek (www.dentalchek.com) for anyone with dental problems. This tool can give an idea of what could be causing the symptoms. By providing some relevant information, I hope to reduce public’s fear of dentists and teach the importance of seeking help before a problem gets worse.

Please keep in mind this tool by no means substitutes an actual visit to a dentist. I strongly recommend going to a clinic for ALL dental concerns. But if you must postpone your visit, at least learn about your symptoms to understand possible consequences of leaving the problem for later. Hopefully using this tool will encourage you to seek help and maybe even make your dental visit more pleasant with less surprises.

Lastly before I finish off, I want to make clear the following points: -I am an individual dentist. I spent a year (~400 hours) to make this tool on my own. I am not part of a corporate and have no interest in marketing my office. -Dental treatments are expensive and I do understand this is unfortunately the biggest issue. I wish there was a way to make it more affordable for everyone but I do not have an answer for this one. Best advice I can give is to prevent problems or treat them early before they get worse.
When did I ever say that skim milk and fructose are the same thing?! Both whole and nonfat milk contain the same quantity of lactose and galactose. By the way, galactose is equally bad if not worse than fructose and lactose converts to galactose in your digestive tract, so, your misreading is partially correct. Unfortunately for me, galactose is present in yogurt as well.

Anyway, they fed pigs skim milk because no human wanted it, and when you take out the fat for cream and butter than junk was suitable only for the swine. Your articles are no scientific or historical proof. Without the fat in milk, the calcium in skim milk ends up in your arteries, not your bones. So, fattening or not, skim milk is not a healthier alternative from many aspects.

The funniest thing is that skim, and whole milk in America have the same price! So, the fat is removed to sell it separately and at a high price, and, yet, both types of milk are sold at the same price because there are stupid enough people to consider it "better."

I have organic raw grass-fed whole milk, and my kids have had it for over 5 years with no issues whatsoever. Kudos to Organic Pastures [0] to keep providing a high-quality product with consistency during this time!

It'll turn out in due time that Bin Laden was just sending the US his best wishes.

Joking of course, but up to a point. There are cases of words from the "enemy" deliberately translated in their more literal sense when their sense is figurative (one for all, "death to America"- even the official translation is "down with America"). And statements by Bin Laden himself have been deliberately ignored in the parts that made more sense from a political point of view, to reduce them to a more comfortable "we hate you because you're free".

This looks to be a replacement for/alternative to https://packagist.org/packages/composer/ca-bundle which updates certs every 24 hours instead of at whatever interval you upgrade your system or update your dependencies.

I'm curious, is this apparent issue of outdated cert bundles also a problem outside of the PHP ecosystem?

The article leads by talking about people ignorantly disabling validation, which is fair enough, but using plain old composer/ca-bundle would be a solution to that without going as far as the per 24 hour updates.
What? You're making a serious stretch there. The profit from the cars contributes directly to GDP, but even if individual people get paid to help clean up the river, where is that money coming from? It's a DRAIN on resources to get the river back to normal, there's no profit. Therefore it's not growth.
Interesting question, thanks for seeking discussion

You're right, writing helps memory

The thing I tried to accomplish with Votre is a tool that allows you to keep your data in whichever form you want.
If it were just about keeping birthdates, use some sort of database like your contacts.

You can also treat Votre like a personal knowledge base without thinking in terms of a diary.

I just wanted something that doesn't feel like a database, where I could just start writing to add information, instead of adding a field to some entry. The diary aspect also helps with building a habit in my opinion.

Building a habit of adding information is probably the most important part of having some external brain / knowledge base, as that is the only way to ensure you can trust your system.
The problem is that no one is naive enough to believe they'll somehow lower any existing taxes (either sales or property) with the introduction of an income tax. They'll keep them all, and try and introduce some new program that helps a specific demographic.

From what I see, this usually ends up with money moving between pockets with a bureaucracy taking its cut along the way. I try not to be overly political, but I can't stand the idea of a strong, central planning government.

Let's see a balanced, itemized budget. Even in the article they're just spitballing ideas with what they could do it an extra $140m.

> I'm not special at all, anyone living in a rural area ends up with a pickup

You are special (i.e. part of the minority). Somewhere between 60 and 80% of people live in cities/urban areas in the US. As you said yourself, a truck is a tool with uses where it is critical but there are many where it is unnecessary. The original post you replied to just said that trucks aren't needed by most people, not that they're never needed and nothing of what you've said has argued against this.

You and the person you're ranting against/accusing of lack of empathy are probably 100% in agreement.

It gets interacted with less by the less sophisticated attackers. But you want those attackers to be targeting you, because they'll find holes and use them for relatively harmless things. Whereas if your only attackers are the sophisticated ones, the holes in your security will be used only for serious attacks.
Crazy!!! ... let's take politics aside for a sec.
What if the man was actually planning an attack? That would be really crazy that an AI tool could actually find that with the context of the picture.

I wouldn't say HFCS is more harmful than regular sugar, it is chemically about the same (at least the kind of HFCS used in most foods and sugary beverages). Both are equally bad. When we talk about the leading causes of obesity in the US, we shouldn't differentiate HFCS from sugar, because that just gives food manufacturers an easy out: they can add labels saying "No High Fructose Corn Syrup!" and use sugar instead, rendering the product equally toxic but making it look healthier. They're already doing this, which is why most people understand that HFCS is a problem but are ok with regular sugar.

Xi isn't consolidating power away from the grocery inspectors that like to be tipped. No one human has the vast reach that would be required to see in to every single government action, down to the lowest levels.

The only way to stop corruption is to ensure a free press with an empowered and informed population. That's not the direction that China's going.

Firms like Microsoft led in the innovation in creating new barriers to entry. How could one compete with a browser provided at a zero price.

I think what happened to Microsoft is the perfect example of how to overcome a monopoly.

20 years ago, everyone thought that Microsoft’s monopoly was unassailable. Google barely existed, Facebook didn’t exist, Amazon was a bookseller and Apple was basically bankrupt.

20 years ago, Netflix had a few million DVD customers and AOL was the largest ISP.

Who knows what will happen in the next 20 years?
Thoughts on Digg V4 and a News Feed Without Links
I get that you are contributing a lot in this thread, and my position on how soon self driving cars will be widespread is negative. That said "I'd like to see a Waymo Pacifica going north on I-75 the morning after we get 6-8 inches of snow." is a (edited:) poor argument. There are plenty of non-snowing cities to test the crap out of self-driving cars first.

(And clearly, that's what the Waymo early-rider program is trying)

I think it is 99% police. I do not use FB translate, but Google translate. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. I expect that it is not 100% reliable, and anybody who frequently uses the automated translation tools for critical tasks (presumably the police in this case) should know this. My suspicion is that this was just an excuse for the police to arrest somebody.

I really don't understand why anyone supports ethanol. It's a poor fuel compared to gasoline and any minor improvements to fuel ignore the externalities.

It's another massive subsidy to the farming/fertilizer industry.

If all this subsidy money were used to instead move to EVs, it'd be better spent.
Always get the machine to translate it back again as a first check that you haven't got something that the system isn't good at. I use it often when I write Norwegian because even after thirty years I still don't remember what gender everything is (I'm English but I write in Norwegian when writing to the locals). If I don't get my original Norwegian back I know it's worth a closer look.

Doing it from your own language to a language you don't speak at all without at least that simple double check is asking for trouble.
Agree 100%. Making driving easier and more convenient isn’t going to solve our transit problems, it’s going to make them worse. Just look at what is happening with ridesharing services - people choosing them over public transit because they make it a little easier to get from point A to point B. The same thing will happen with autonomous vehicles. I agree that there are benefits for the last mile of the suburbs and countryside, but not in areas that could be better served by mass transit and an ounce or two of tolerating the inconvenience.

Some people will claim that the fact that autonomous vehicles can drive closely to one another will reduce congestion. Yeah, if they are the only cars on the road. I don’t see a future anytime soon in which 100% of our population (or even 80%) will be so enamored with autonomous vehicles that they’ll be wanting or willing to give up driving and car ownership.

I don't assume computing power is constant, just that the rate of content generation is more or less constant (I think a billion devices publishing a billion new pieces of content every second is a pretty reasonable upper bound). OP asked about the odds of collisions occurring by accident due to the sheer volume of content generated and published, not about attacker scenarios.

Obviously we wouldn't use the same hash algorithm and setup for 12 million years, but the sheer absurdity of that length of time and that pace of content production shows this method will last, at least until flaws are found in SHA256.

This is not the state of mind right now - and this is the same thing that blockchain devs seem to think. Everybody uses the cloud for anything reasonably important. And if it is not important, the difficulty delta between an embedded datastore and "./redis" is miniscule.

Which means that leveldb/rocksdb gives zero path to scalability at the cost of saving a maximum of a few minutes of effort.

At worst, this could have been done in redis with embedded lua packaged together. That would have solved both your external redis problem as well as a reasonable path to scale.

Former Starkey Engineer: the executives are/were totally aware of what's going on with regards to wearable technology. So much so, that the 5 or 6 top executives thought they could get away with embezzling millions -- siphoning funds from Starkey into their start-up. Internally, Starkey employees were confused why we weren't moving in on wearables. Starkey already owned the ear among 65+, why not go for the giant market of people with ears under 65? The FBI case hit the papers and it all made sense. Fucking assholes. I left the company over it, and I'm only a little bitter about it.

Can confirm that from the perspective of a Midwesterner who grew up largely in smaller towns, one grows up feeling that moving to a major coastal city is nearly impossible. Even as a software developer I have to remind myself that no, really, I could move to one of those places. It's a hard mindset to get out of, and for most, it's also kind of true.

Smaller non-coastal cities retain, in the mind of the typical rural midwesterner, a reputation for high crime and violent racial unrest (among those old enough to remember the 60s and 70s, anyway). The former especially isn't entirely undeserved. And anyway, even those are shockingly expensive by rural standards, unless you want to live in the very worst parts of the city where the concerns of high crime and terrible, dangerous schools are especially valid.

To say that moving to the city, for most values of "the city", isn't broadly appealing to the rural set, is accurate.

Typical. "Let's attribute this serious and foreboding situation to a veritable act of God, like insects getting spontaneously smarter, so that we can all go home feeling a bit happier and less responsible for our impending doom."
This isn't really true. For example, I'm going to see a show in SF and taking the Caltrain only because I can Lyft the remaining distance to the venue. Otherwise I would be driving the whole way.
It doesn't disallow using them for personal or commercial use by developers but I admit that most of what they've done must rely on the Bootstrap APIs so I have doubts there's much that can be copyrighted by them in what's there.

I found that Django makes too many assumptions for my taste, and you really need to fight it if you don't like them. You can get around the bad design decisions by using plugins, but they're not all compatible with each other and I found it got messy.

Flask on the other hand, comes with too few features out of the box. Getting an application with user auth, file uploads, an ORM and form generation can take over a week to set up perfectly.

Web2py was created by a professor at DePaul University who got tired of Django after teaching it in a web development course. He built Web2py to have feature parity, but, IMHO, he has a much better aesthetic when it comes to API design.

So rather than a design-by-comittee behemoth like Django, you get a succinct and intuitive API designed by a great programmer.

Beyond that, it has a handful of features that I find unmatched, notably its data grids and bootstrap compatibility by default.

I really love the bootstrap compatibility because it allows me to grab a theme off wrapbootstrap.com and everything just works without any tweaking. For small projects it works out perfectly :)

It also has a very active Google Group where the framework's author frequently helps people out!

The only thing I miss is the Werkzeug debugger that Flask comes with by default, and which can bet set up to run on Django. That thing is beautiful. But Web2py's debugger is good enough, and Web2py surpasses the competition in every other way.

To really grok how amazing web2py is, I recommend working through the tutorial. It's not too long and it shows off Web2py quite nicely. A lot of what makes web2py so great are subtle design decisions. It fixes almost all the problems I had with the other frameworks and introduces practically none of its own.
