You are aware that outside of the US "socialist" isn't quite as pejorative as you seem to think it is? The mainstream center-left parties in many European countries have the word "socialist" or a variant thereof in their names.
I wonder if verbal and written communication will still be preferable as it's less noise. Even if I want to send you a thought, I could get distracted and start thinking things unrelated, or something I'm not supposed to share like IP.

If it were practical to separate them, it should really be up to them, once they're adults, but if I were in that position, I could see wanting to be separated for physical safety, if nothing else.

Two bodies connected only at the skull seems extremely dangerous to me. For example, if one of them trips and falls, it seems like that could easily break the neck of the other.
True, but if we are into exploring the possibilities of what can be done with artificial neural networks, I see no reason to limit our models to human brains only.

Just how do you think all of that will end up? The Russian government should not have any say or influence in these companies since they have clearly demonstrated that they are a bad actor.
Does anyone have any theories as to how this may work, assuming that it's not a case of correlation does not equal causation?
Nice false equivalence argument, but I'm afraid it's going to fall on deaf ears.

10 years from now, we'll be waxing nostalgia about entrepreneurs who made a living off Instagram, Amazon, WordPress, and other platforms. 'There was a kid who used to "rate dogs" and he was hilarious! And he did it for free without any corporate backing! Made a killing on T-Shirts and stuff as well!'
Some insights from a person who has worked for two years for an investigative journalism organization (that was a part of both Panama Papers and Paradise Papers, but I left my position months before Paradise Papers):

If someone's gonna kill an investigative journalist, he's not gonna do that while she's reporting on the story. That would be too dumb and raise way too many eyebrows. Instead, the attacker will usually let it cool down and wait, months (or possibly years) after the piece was published. Only when the thing is in the far past will he attack. Plus, the observation and preparation of the attack doesn't happen in a day[0].

So, I guess what I'm trying to say is that, whoever was behind the attack, was either a) stupid or b) a person that she reported on a relatively long time ago.

[0] For a case in point, take a look at how precise was the action in which a Belarus journalist was killed in 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liSa5OFCkf4&feature=youtu.be... (the entire video is 49 minutes long, but the relevant part is about two minutes long and it starts where the link leads to)

Can you clarify something? You seem to be arguing two points without differentiating them clearly.

One point is that it should be obvious where the money came from (etc); the other point is that that origin should not be cause for concern.

Is that accurate?

If so I would agree with you on the first point but not the second: the same logic that eg allows one to make the inferences in the first point would also lead one to infer certain things about Yandex (analogous to the situation with Kaspersky).

Do you honestly think that the funding under discussion—and the personal relationships that subsequently developed—had no impact on either Twitter or Facebook deciding to establish their respective partnerships with Yandex?

Because pointing out the obvious ignorance, hypocrisy and double-speak of US and western people in general is the same as being a "Russian apologist".

I grew up with 1980s dial-up modems (slow 300 baud!) to dial directly into BBS systems and USENET. I then continued dialup access into the early internet (GNN not AOL) in 1995. I now have Verizon fiber optic.

To me, the modern web today is better in virtually every way compared to 1990s web surfing.

+ Google search engine is better than Alta Vista and Excite.

+ Google Maps with smooth scroll, 3D streetview, and satellite view is better than the clunky 1990s MapQuest without AJAX. Google Maps also uses colors to highlight traffic congestion.

+ Wikipedia is better than the non-existent online encylopedias of 1990s

+ airline websites now bring up a graphical map of the airplane and let you click on the actual seat you want. When I booked etickets from airline websites in 1998, it was just rudimentary ticket purchase.

+ youtube obviously has videos but it also has virtually every song. If some music forum mentions an obscure song, I think to myself that someone else may have already uploaded it to youtube. Sure enough, 99% of the time, it's there. It's even better than Spotify in that respect.

+ discussion websites like reddit/HN are better than Usenet. The better replies are voted and sorted at the top. I learned a lot of C Language from USENET "comp.lang.c" in the 1980s and I'm jealous that today's programmers have StackOverflow which is better. Again, the superior answers are voted to the top.

+ Amazon.com also made the UI better. In 1990s, they didn't have "Look Inside" feature to see sample pages of books. I use that all the time. One thing they did make worse is you now have to manually click "see all 50 reviews" to read all reviews; I assume they did that to prevent web scrapers. In any case, Amazon is good enough that I stopped wasting gas driving to Barnes & Noble.

I'm having a hard time thinking of a 1990s web experience that's superior to now.

I can only assume that a big part of why some think that today's web is worse has to do with Facebook and its walled garden. To those people, the web feels "less open". Well, I don't have a Facebook account and none of my longtime friends do either. Therefore, it doesn't feel like the web is any less open to me.

The web is more useful now in 2017 than 2007. And back in 2007, it was more useful than 1997.
> At the end of my stay we agreed an extension of a few weeks but outside of Airbnb.

You should not have done this. I know it is tempting because Airbnb fees are so high, but don't do it in the future.

As for the question in your title - yes I did have dispute resolved by Airbnb. During my last UK trip there was a dispute with one of the hosts, so I had to leave early. The host refused to refund, but I called Airbnb and they promptly gave me a refund for the remaining days. No problem whatsoever.

Give them a call, send them the "offensive and questionable" messages on Whatsapp and ask for the review to be removed. It might take a while to get hold of a real human on the other end, but once you do it should not be difficult if you have a case.

> Does anyone remember when you they stumbled on a new website written by some guy and read his first article, then clicked back to his homepage and saw he had a list of similar articles that looked like they'd be just as interesting.

Or, more likely, you clicked "back" on the "navigation bar" and it would 404 because the author messed up the links, since it was all hand crafted HTML.

Funny stuff aside, there are still loads of "websites" out there. If I understand the criteria here, we are looking for mostly hand crafted pages maintained by individuals (or small groups) that have interesting content. Something, should I say, very "web 1.0"?

Here's a good one. Make sure to check the GUI Gallery section:

I'd go further and say: browsing vs scrolling.

I remember 10+ years ago we designed websites so that important content was "above the fold". Today people are addicted to scrolling their Facebook feed.
You might have to reword that - I'm honestly having difficulty parsing it.
It is a strong argument against someone claiming that they weren't profitable. They clearly were.

> Yes, scholars.

As well as anyone who has played a piece by Beethoven or read a children's book about him. The Beethoven stereotype is the impassioned if erratic genius who literally ripped through the paper correcting his own errors in a quest for perfection, persisting in his struggle to write masterworks even after going deaf.

The author is almost certainly confusing Beethoven's myth with the Mozart myth-- the child musical prodigy through whom Christ's perfection sounded.

This matters because the author is attempting to make a causal relationship between Romantic-era genius myth-making and higher education in the U.S. at present. If he can't even match the myth with the right composer I think I'm right to be skeptical of his theory.

I read ~ a book every other day last year, here are the ones I liked best http://adit.io/posts/2016-12-10-The-Best-Books-I-Read-In-201...

I'm interested to know the motivation behind this question. Two of my favorite books of all time: "Notes From Underground", "A House For Mr. Biswas". They are very specific to me, an immigrant coming to the US at a young age. I doubt they have universal appeal.

On the other hand, "Evicted" is a book I think everyone should read. It gives great examples of how hard it can be to climb out of poverty. I think we all see "poverty" talked about as generic label, and it can be really hard to find good specific examples to discuss -- "Evicted" has tons of them.

Singapore isn't a paragon of social equality, not at all.

However, in spite of that, the PAP has done a very good job of ensuring there's just enough by way of public services and subsidies to keep enough people happy that the government continues to command the people's respect and the opposition will never quite have enough fuel to build a viable political movement.

Yeah, it's a tough problem. I did Americorps work in some of the poorer elementary schools in St. Paul, and one of the biggest problems those schools face is that they have very high special needs burdens that they have to meet before they can deal with the general population, and those are incredibly costly. That said, I completely agree with you that there are a lot of problems facing students in Northeast Minneapolis that hurt outcomes that have nothing to do with funding.

I mean at the end of the day, kids like myself had well-educated parents who read to us every night, did math problems with us, and provided the scaffolding for learning long before we hit school (most of primary education was a waste, at best review). There's no substitute for that.

The experience of tutoring badly off kids in poor neighborhoods was one of the more heartbreaking experiences of my life. The inertia in the students is palpable after about age nine.

That said, I still struggle to call the distribution of effective resources "equitable," and I'll happily foot a tax bill to double education spending until the generational poverty problem is mitigated to a much greater degree (although I suspect non conventional methods might have better returns).

thanks. could agree more. communicating strategy is incredibly important and a gap that seems to happen often in companies. there's a big difference at the employee level between (a) a strategy that exists [somewhere at the executive/management level] and (b) a strategy that exists and is transparent, well-communicated and well-understood.

This is why I think a hierarchical, cascading V2MOM or OKR approach is a helpful communication vehicle to transfer strategy top-down and build consensus and participation in the strategy process bottom-up.

I know thats the irony.
People don't seem to build personal websites in the same way anymore - back then they weren't doing it to generate clicks, page views, passive income, build their profile etc, and everything wasn't all slickly styled and presented on a modern blogging platform. As a result websites were more amateurish, idiosyncratic, original, and sometimes charming, and I think the essence of the creator's motivation or interests often came across more strongly. The web doesn't have the same magic it used to for me. My god though some things were crap about it back in the day. If only we could have have kept the old web preserved alongside the new.

Southwest Airlines does not play these games (the first 2 checked bags are free and canceling your ticket before the flight gives you a voucher for the full fare you paid to use in the future). It also does not have fares listed with the airline ticket search sites. They usually have good fares, decent service, and on time flights. I try and fly them when ever I can get a direct flight with them.

I understand why they keep growing and wish other airlines would try their style. I try to choose companies with friendly business practices, even if it costs a bit more sometimes.
Well and of course free sometimes begs "so what's the catch"

In which case very cheap sometimes works. Like, "I'm not looking to make money but help me cover gas and venue rental"
