Separate, but not unrelated.

Many people drive recklessly without running over pedestrians, but they aren't unrelated problems.
Signatures? Haven't signed anything card related in Australia for years. NFC and pin if over AUD100 is how we do it now, mostly (there are still a few left overs where you must insert the chip).
I don't think "politically correct" means what you think it means. Your use in this context doesn't make sense (e.g. a person's preferred sexual partner is not a matter of "political correctness," nor is their gender identity).
Your sample might be a bit skewed. I've been working in US high-tech for a decade and most people haven't inherited couple of houses, own another one and look for buying yet another one. Surely, there might be, but not typically. Typically what I see people that either renting or finally could afford a new house. Sure, some people get super-rich on huge IPOs etc. - but not the most typical case.
Holding officers of the company criminally & civilly liable seems like it would go further to solving the problem. If the CEO was worried about going to jail or being fined, he would have made sure the organization was a lot more focused on protecting individual data.

I had a similar experience about 2 years ago. I joined a team and my first pull request had more comments than my commit had LOC. There was a comment each for two libs I pulled in asking what the licenses were. Opinionated but forceful suggestions that were matters of taste. No actual issues with functionality or performance.

I just emailed the manager and said based on the first interaction with this particular team member it wasn't going to be a good fit for me and left on day 2.

To be clear, it's not so much they are using ML to predict wind speeds at different altitudes; they use a forecast model like everyone else for that. The clever bit is being able to control your altitude such that you find favorable wind-altitude tuples to be in to keep you generally in one spot over days/weeks. It's sort of like what ocean/circumnavigating sailors do but in a higher dimensional space, both literally and in your search algorithm. Fascinating stuff.
> Always bothered me “but they were drunk, it’s not their fault”

While that argument may be made by some people somewhere, I don't think either Scoble or anyone else has made it in this case; it seems more like his position is that he was at fault, his alcohol problem was a contributing factor which he had to correct as part of taking responsibility.

There, just highlight and search. Tada!
I'm surprised no comments talk about reducing regulation to help this problem too. If it were easier for small ISPs to thrive, then there would be more competition. The question is: how many areas is Google thriving in which are prohibitively expensive to enter due to regulations?

Another competing factor is that Google makes most of its money in advertising - so every feature of every product has the opportunity to be compromised for the benefit of advertising. Internet advertising needs another revolution!

> other than carbon emissions the environmental impact tends to get pretty well priced into the end product because it tends to be more land or resources that are required.

No, most of the environmental impacts of agricultural productions besides carbon emissions are still externalities, usually time-shifted, that aren't priced into the product.

VisiCalc and Apple: Steve Jobs said that the spreadsheet was key
I had a number of family that lived in Seattle. They all worked for Boeing in some capacity. My grandmother moved out there and worked for Boeing in the early 60s after my mom turned 18. Her cousin was an administrative assistant, eventually to the CEO. Another cousin was an engineer with the company. To hear them tell it, Boeing was the soul of Seattle, though they were probably biased.

But Boeing moved a lot of the company to Chicago for tax breaks and eventually setup another factory in South Carolina to avoid union labor. Despite being long-retired by that point, my relatives all felt betrayed by the company. And though those family members have all passed on by now, my guess is they wouldn't blame Amazon for taking Seattle's soul, they'd blame Boeing for abandoning it.
Not destroying it would not actually be the goal. Breaking it up could mean, for instance, splitting one search engine into two.

I remember that poster. Growing up in Michigan we felt like we were in the center of everything happening in the sixties. The radical group, Students for a Democratic Society, whose off shoot became the Weatherman Underground was formed on the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The entire fabric of the nation frayed back then but luckily did not break.

I saw the band, the MC5 or Motor City Five, in concert many times in the sixties. They were the only band that were proceeded by a hype man before they came on stage. A guy did a long angry soliloquy that was designed to amp up the crowd and get them fighting mad. Not the same thing as defined in today's rap, but I believe they just adopted the term.

You'd have an entire auditorium of screaming angry kids and then the band would start playing fast and amp everyone even higher. The MC5 as a band kind of supernova'd, they had a few hits in a short amount of time and then just folded. But to fully understand their impact you had to see them live.

Lots of later artists cited them as an influence. I personally think that it is
sad that they never got into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I'm pretty sure it depends on the level of the sexual assault.

E.g. groping - if we're talking "groped someone randomly, with their clothes on" and nothing more, then even if this gets reported, what could happen? This probably won't result in too much of a punishment, and is pretty hard to prove. And, unfortunately, as you can probably see by now, it happens to pretty much all women and is extremely common. It doesn't make it right or mean that we shouldn't stop it, but I kind of understand why people who are used to it happening don't do much with it.

I think that's why we need to change the norms, both of how people who see this happening deal with it, and of how OK it is. If you see someone groping someone without their consent, say something! It's probably not going to get reported to the police, but if we as a society don't accept it, then it will get better.

Of course, once you get to things like rape, then that's a much more serious offense that can definitely have the police involved.

The advantage to living in Bellevue is that, after 7pm Seattle is just 20 minutes away. (Before 7 it's about an hour away.) There certainly are luxury apartments in Bellevue for cheaper than Seattle + 520 tolling.
It doesn't matter in a practical sense. How are you going to prove the LEO prevented you from recording? It's your word (as a now suspect of a crime) vs their word, a respected public servant, and their partner, who will swear by them.

Even if you do prove they stopped you from recording, so what? You don't have evidence of your interaction to implicate them. As long as they recite the magical words, that they believed they were in the right, current legal doctrine will look the other way(see Heien vs North Carolina - https://blog.simplejustice.us/2014/12/16/heien-v-north-carol... - and similar).
> E.g. groping - if we're talking "groped someone randomly, with their clothes on" and nothing more, then even if this gets reported, what could happen?

It's both a tort and a crime, usually, so there is a lot that could happen; which is not to say that it is likely that the consequences available in principle would be applied.
Sadly, they miss the important ones.

This reminds me of a great snippet from one of Raymond Smulyan's books ("This Book Needs No Title") that I think best captures the implied and unfounded fear behind these sort of articles. Here's the quote in full:

“Recently I was with a group of mathematicians and philosophers. One philosopher asked me whether I believed man was a machine. I replied, ‘Do you really think it makes any difference?’ He most earnestly replied, ‘Of course! To me it is the most important question in philosophy.’ I had the following afterthoughts: I imagine that if my friend had finally come to the conclusion that he were a machine, he would be infinitely crestfallen. I think he would think: ‘My God! How horrible! I am only a machine!’ But if I should find out I were a machine, my attitude would be totally different. I would say: ‘How amazing! I never before realized that machines could be so marvelous!’”

Adding my own thoughts to this, I think what generates these sort of articles is an intuitive and well justified resistance to the belief is "life is just a complex machine" but by using completely mistaken arguments.

The essence of life, existence and consciousness can never be reduced to any mechanical or even logical processes (although some would like to believe otherwise), but the fact that it can bloom into amazing creations like the human mind or possibly in the distant future ti some human-made artificial mind doesn't detract from it's magic.

I think a lot could also theoretically happen when you punch someone, as that's assault. And yet I assume that depending on context, usually not much happens. E.g. I assume if someone is punched in a bar fight, the chance of being brought up on charges (and the punishment if you are) are rather small. As opposed to if I go up to someone in an airport and punch them.

Which is to say that context matters and is dictated by our customs, which is why we need to change what we think of us acceptable so that groping is unacceptable everywhere.

Similarly, every time I am in America (although last time was a already a long while ago) with my Belgian chip-and-pin credit card, the terminal would show a cryptic error message with a slightly confused cashier saying, "sorry, your card doesn't work" (or sometimes: "is refused"). Queue me pointing to another terminal: "don't swipe the card, insert it in the sleeve and let me enter my pin."

Same problem at shopping malls in China, by the way (where the language makes the explaining even more fun).

> Isn't sexual assault a serious crime?

In theory, yes; in practice police, prosecutors, and judges all too often don't treat it (or even actual rape) seriously.

With regard to judges, the Stanford rape case is the banner example recently; but earlier in the chain the fact thatany departments collect but then do not process rape kits is a huge problem.

> The difference I see between Dave McClure and Robert Scoble is that the former was accused of 'sexual harrassment' whereas Robert Scoble appears to have been accused of 'sexual ASSAULT' by a couple of women atleast

McClure was accused of sexual assault as well (and not strictly legally speaking sexual harassment at all, AFAIK, but acts, both the assaults and lesser acts, that would have been harassment if VC-founder relationships were governed by the same legal rules as employer-employee relationships.)
Afaik LLVM/Clang doesn't need bootstrapping from source for cross-compiling, but you can choose to include/exclude target support at build time. GCC and binutils can only have one target.

Was the LLVM/Clang build done for building a cross compiler to build Minix or was it to build a compiler that runs on Minix? The latter would be unavoidable, but for the former just having LLVM pre-installed on the build machine should do.
Changing the number of lines for the clefs would only result in easier "counting" early on in the learning process, and becomes unimportant when notes no longer represent a distance from a known note, but as notes unto themselves.

Even though the prospect of initially having to memorise only half of the notes, this amount of time is trivialised by the time it takes to get your fingers to respond by hitting the right note fluently.

Also, even easier than your proposed extra line would be to double the treble clef and indicate it's to be played 1 octave lower. I haven't seen this in mainstream teaching materials, and I surmise this isn't done because of the trivial time saved in the long run [1].

As for your second point: I strongly feel that for complex keys muscle memory and interval awareness trump extra visual information. In other words: if you are playing in a complex key, you should already have this awareness, and if you don't, you shouldn't be playing in this key.

There might be an interval between starting to learn a key, and becoming familiar with it, where extra information regarding the colour of the key might be useful, but I'm unsure if it outweighs the extra visual clutter, especially when considering that, when mastering a complex key, one presumably would have already mastered less complex keys, and already has a developed sense of muscle memory and considerable interval awareness.

[1] I have seen notes that have the value of the note imprinted on them. These are used mainly in children's teaching material, and are dropped fairly quickly after the concept of note-key correspondence is established.

I'm not sure your advice here is the best.

it often advices to compress images and even suggests to download "optimally" compressed versions

Compressing images is useful, and this advice can be beneficial – though I'm sure it's more effective to optimise them yourself rather than relying on the Google-generated versions.

"embed CSS code necessary to display the top of the page, right into the page".

This is good advice. For larger sites with more extensive stylesheets, this approach allows the initial 'above-the-fold' to be rendered better before the full stylesheet is loaded. Just because it doesn't hit every case – like when users scroll during load – does not render it ineffective. It's also neither difficult to implement, nor does it add enough load time to pages to be a practical issue (unless you're inlining 100kB of text, in which case – rethink your stylesheet!)

For example, it never advices to remove or replace web fonts

It would be a bit silly to do so; web fonts are added on purpose, and advising that they be removed is pretty useless advice, along the lines of "you can speed up your website by removing images". It would be nice if the tool supported analysis of web font use though, such as testing to see if particular styles are used, or if the font could be effectively subsetted.

Also it never advices to remove ads althogh ads often cause high CPU and memory consumption. Why is that I wonder.

Again, it would be useless information to tell someone who has deliberately added advertising to their website to remove it.

The tool always requires to move JS scripts to the bottom of the page. But is it always the best idea? I think in most cases it is not.

Yes, it is – either that, or loading the scripts deferrably or asynchronously.

it will give a JS error if the button is clicked before the scripts in the bottom of the page have loaded

This is only the case if you write bad Javascript – binding to DOM elements and their events should be done asynchronously.

And what if you have a SPA? In this case the earlier you start to load the scripts the sooner the user will be able to see the data.

If you have an SPA, then either there is no real markup on the page (and the difference will be minimal) or you are pre-rendering it, and the content will be visible anyway.

Also it always recommends to use a CDN which is not always good idea.

Using a CDN is almost always a good idea unless you have a very specific reason not to do so.

So Google's script might help you in identifying problems with your site but you should not ever blindly trust any of the recommendations. Please leave client side optimization to people who have expertise in this area.

I would say this much is obvious – it's a tool, and like any others, experienced professionals can use it to make appropriate decisions. It can help with that.

SEO rankings and obviously they are more important than image quality.

The unfortunate thing is that they probably are!
AFAIK, many other big-name companies have been donating manpower and resources to help get PR back on its feet. What makes this announcement any more noteworthy? I'd get it if it included a bit more information, but the blog post reads as marketing fluff.

Does anyone know of any reliable sources showing in-depth sample numbers from previous deployments? I'd be really interested in getting an idea of what area size these balloons could cover, for how long it can be reliably maintained over an area, and their expected throughput. The Helping out in Peru [0] post has a bit of info, but it's very light on details.

If anyone is familiarized with these industries, I'd love to read up on the kinds of challenges faced with getting something like this deployed. Looking at it from an outsider's perspective, being without connectivity for over a month seems like a pretty long time. It's great that Project Loon is seeing improvements in their deployment time, but the article doesn't shed any light on the process, which is rather disappointing.

That depends on the police to whom he explained it, the prosecutors with jurisdiction, and the judge it got before if prosecuted.

There's enough history of all three groups granting men, especially middle or upper class white men, passes for sexual assault and even outright rape that it's hard to say “yes” with any confidence, even assuming that what he did matches the worst accusations made against him.
Hello and thank you for your feedback!

I decided to go with the tile design for the MVP precisely to improve skimming. Just by looking at the image you could get an idea about what the news/article is about. But I understand your point. One potential improvement would be to allow users to select how to display the news in each block: thumbnails or titles.

News/articles are grouped both by category and by specific subject. When multiple items are about the same thing, you'll see, for example, something like "TechCrunch + 3 others" above the item's title. If you hover over it, you'll see the other 3 items. It's all done via ML. It's not perfect yet, but it can only get better from here :)
Yeah. I agree they could have done more to capture the factors here better.

I wonder about the "dummy" body cam, though. I feel like that's an obvious group to include for the sake of teasing out contributing factors, but I also wonder if that would have gotten them sued.
