Also, half the appeal of GoT is all the gratuitous nudity, with the other half being the gratuitous violence, and the last half a semi-decent story of a bunch of unlikable assholes. How do you make the LotR universe fit that mold? It has almost no female characters, no gory battles, and the story almost completely lacks nasty assholes. Even Sauron doesn't have the nastiness inherent in most GoT characters.

No, we believe that the product manager is voluntarily not talking about it.
Nonsense. Here in NL our farmers could operate much more efficiently if it wasn’t for subsidies and the regulations that come with it. It’s not free money, it’s mostly a bandaid for wounds inflicted by the government. How would you feel if the government decided you can’t use your computer anymore and have to back to programming with punchcards? Farmers have to live with rules like this every day.

Well for example with the rage party regarding Trump. I knew all the political opinions of my friends that have lost their minds over that (so to speak). I'm socially liberal, so their political ideas mostly never bothered me (even when I disagree with them). Their behavior on the other hand, is grotesque. They've become what they proclaimed to dislike.

Almost all people behave differently under different social circumstances and pressures. Facebook seems to bring out - unleash - the worst in some very nice people. My observation is, as one would expect, they justify the bad behavior by proclaiming that the venom spewing is justified by the nature of the opponents they're attempting to counter. Means justified by the end goal.

It's said that online anonymity + forum = asshole behavior. I've come to wonder if enough time being acclimated to a public social network like Facebook, doesn't degrade the social niceties and manners that used to exist among friends in the early days of MySpace and Facebook.
I personally think, it is always a bad idea to put important IP/Knowledge(or your complete business) into the hands of other Companies/People. You play in their Garden and if they decide to "alter" the agremeent, than you have to deal with it.
And yet HN doesn't support bold, bullet points, tables, and type faces and we communicate just fine.

YAGNI.
Isn't it "Like finding Picasso in Medieval England"?
Twitter only used to show you tweets from people you followed, in chronological order, each tweet exactly once. Those product managers then decided to pepper your timeline with tweets you "may have missed", tweets from people you don't follow but that were liked by others and passed a randomized test, and all this out of order and with duplicates. Of course you cannot turn any of this off (except by using another than the official web client).

So no, I wouldn't trust the product managers to make intelligent decisions.
Oh good ol times... :wq
I'm waiting for Web 3.0: everything goes through websockets. We can also call it newframe (mainframe 2.0) if a new buzzword is needed.
I would never trust any IP or business docs to a third party storage service. And definitely code including secrets would not be stored on things like github, codecommit, etc. Have known too many corporate executives and learned no one can be trusted. People used to trust sourceforge at one point. If there is any doubt about the security or confidentiality of your work...there is no doubt.
But, not coincidentally, those areas are the same areas where freeways are at capacity and would benefit from running 4 passenger self-driving cars at 1 second headways.

Self driving cars work well with railroads -- the cars can get passengers from their lower density neighborhoods to the rail stations, and rail can take the passengers to the urban centers where their jobs are. It makes little sense for a self-driving car to take a worker from his suburban home all the way to the crowded urban center where his car either needs to find someplace to park, or join thousands of other cars looking for someone else to ride until it's time to go home.

Obviously YMMV, but my personal take on this is that no particular fish is too big to be thrown back, especially if they're a pain in the ass.

That said, it sounds like you don't want to do that. So instead, if I were you, I would attempt to find a back channel to get the information you need. This could be the executives administrative assistant/secretary, a corporate public information officer, someone in their marketing department, etc. Basically anyone other than the obstructionist person you're currently talking to, but avoid going over their head (if they aren't the business owner). This requires more leg work from you, but could net you most, or all of, that future business if you can deliver where others would have given up. Don't forget to bill them for the additional hours you spend though, never work for free.
Currently we only have an instance deployed for the Netherlands (because we are Dutch). For our organisation it's currently not possible to create maps for other countries as we lack the local knowledge and because of possible legal issues.

How many of those have more than a trivial handful of users?
I find myself agreeing with the EFF 99% of the time. This, is different. For an organization propagating complex tools & tricks to combat nation-state censorship, turning on "incognito" mode to bypass Trump's account blockade shouldn't come as too much of a surprise.

Which leads me to believe this whole debacle to be political. Just like the SJW who deactivated his Twitter, some EFF employee disagrees with Trump and is using the org to show it.

Just stick to real work EFF - like preventing FCC from overturning net neutrality. And maybe peer-review wise use of the limited budget at your disposal instead of wasting it on this kind of piffle

6 Tech Trends That Will Prove to Be a Game-Changer for Your Startup
Exactly what I'm doing, yes.
I get the impression that people who make this sort of comment have never ridden a night bus with beds.

It is in no way comparable to a sleeper train, which rides on relatively smooth, straight rails and isn't constantly swerving about and dumping everybody on to the ground. You need to "sleep" in this tensed up position where you're wedged in between ends of the bed using your core to keep you in place.

On the sleeper buses in China, you'll often see people standing in the aisle, getting a rest from "sleeping" while building strength for another bout of it.

So yeah, you'll get to Scotland the next morning. But next time you'll take the train and rent your van at the station.
It's 5.1 compatible plus some nice-to-haves from 5.2: http://luajit.org/extensions.html

I wouldn't call it 'not in development' and even if, then 5.1 is a fine version of Lua and LuaJIT is battle tested very well and rock solid still. Changes in Lua 5.2 and 5.3 are breaking (and some are deep, like the ints, bit ops, function environments) but most of 'usual' code is compatible between 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3.

I learned Lua 5.2 and then went back to 5.1 when 5.3 came out because I didn't like the int stuff in 5.3 and didn't want to use an obsolete version (5.2) with no upsides (5.1 has the upside of being compatible with LuaJIT).
Do you get why you'd prerender a JS app and why an isomorphic setup is fundamentally different than server side rendering with PHP?

You're comparing different things. Also, JS performs as well or better than PHP. Not sure why you guys get so ideological about this.
Very droll
It's interesting to look at it from a different angle. It took them years with a planned deployment of several weeks to increase the character limit.

In a small or even medium sized startup, this kind of decision will be a single product manager's decision and most likely be implemented in a day or two at most.

This kind of rigidness, bureaucracy and slowness is what makes big companies play catchup with small startups.And Twitter is at the top percentages of technologically competent, modern companies - imagine such a change in banks, or chain stores.

George Hotz: I Can Make Your Car Drive Itself for Under $1,00
It was before it was bought by Facebook.
I live in a UK city with fantastic public transport options, and I would get to work faster by taking public transport than by car about 90% of the time. And yet I still drive, because I just don't like sharing the space with strangers, I can sit in comfort at the temperature that I like and listen to music/podcasts that I want without using headphones. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this.
Interview: Brad Williams from Maintainn
Even in Japan where trains are tightly operated, you don't get trains every 3 minutes (talking about long distance trains, not metros). At best one train every 15 minutes on average between peak hours and more calm periods. That divides your capacity by 5 already, so you are now at around 10 000 passengers per hour with your trains.

Add to that that freeways don't have a single lane, but usually at least 2, if not 3, according to your numbers you get 7000~10 000 passengers per hour with cars.

Now consider than most of the trains are not running full, and don't run at night at all between 10 pm and 5 am, and you can clearly see that there is an inherent advantage in terms of flows towards cars (since traffic never stops) per day. Plus you have mass transportation on freeways with buses, too.

And still the major advantage of the car is that you can stop exactly where you want to go. The train may get you from A to B, but most people want to go to C, D, E or F and not just B so trains are always a trade-off unless you have a very standard route every single time.

And I'm not even talking about cost yet. For passengers, trains are way more expensive (even in Japan, where trains are highly developed) than the same trips by car (even though the freeways are heavily taxed).

>How is it possible that they can sell licenses to the code that was put into the public domain by other contributors?

"Public domain" does not mean: this has to be free, nobody can ask for money.

"Public domain" means: noone has the right to stop anyone else from doing what they want.

The same is true for things like the Mona Lisa. You can snap a photo of it (that photo may or may not be copyrightable, depends on the country, meaning you may also "steal" someone elses photo if applicable), print posters and sell them. This is possible because the intellectual property is in the public domain. It doesn't mean you have to give your posters away for free. You can even charge people to look at your photo -- disregarding the fact that noone probably would pay.
It's not because everybody is using it, that the tools is ok. It's like everybody is playing LoL, are LoL great? Doubt so, but it's like playing it because everybody play it.

You have mail, if people can't contact you without facebook, then the problem is not you, but the users. Like for example a friends won't join discord because it own is own chat server, yes like I want a tool by friends. I just ignore him he always wanted that I adopt his solution.

> But over time it became exclusively friends liking or commenting on posts by pages

I just scrolled through several pages of my newsfeed (actually found a bunch of pages I never saw content from but which were also not relevant to me anymore which I unliked) and didn't find anything like that. Everything was personal posts, a few relevant page posts and posts from groups I'm in.

But why did you unfollow everything just for messenger? Wouldn't it be far easier to just use the messenger site directly and ignore facebook.com?
Out of 69043 tweets I have in my current timeline archive, 160 (0.23%) of them contained ' u '; of which only 30 (0.04%) were from people I follow, the other 130 (0.19%) were retweets.
I think it all comes down to manipulation and usurping too much power over public and private opinion, it's applicable to every mentioned company. If you're not paying for the product - you're the product. If some people prefer to being played, it's their choice.

Far from many of my friends and family? Many of them live in other states or countries, and Facebook is cheaper and usefully async when dealing with international calling rates and timezone differences, respectively. I'm not sure I understand your question.
It's a combination of people being there AND having a bunch of related tools (mainly of importance to me, groups, events and comments for events). E-Mail is inconvenient for most things I use messenger for.

We Poles indeed care a lot of about hearts.
There was a great Dilbert comic that said ~ ‘If marketing we’re only slightly more effective it would be illegal.’ I am aware of 1960’s era laws against subliminal advertising. Are there any enforcible laws that limit how people are influenced with media and technology?

More questions:
If there is a technical definition of illegal influence, what would be the test of legality work? Would would enforce it? Who would be in violation of those laws today? Are any of the archaic laws about advertising/mind control that could be applied to today’s tech/media/security firms?

Finally, in a hypothetical scenario where a state actor was able to influence the mentally fragile into turning into mass shooters, how would nations and individuals start to protect themselves against such attacks?
It looks like we share a similar enthusiasm for the potential of artificial neural networks (and I also assume a similar distrust in the ability of philosophy to answer these questions), and I agree that NNs are currently the best candidate to eventually create self-conscious machines (though unlike some prominent celebrities, I believe it's still in the far future). The point we depart is that you seem to be saying there is no real difference between the hard problem and the soft problem of consciousness.

We obviously mean different things by "sensation": I've implemented neural nets to solve problems using ML, I understand the theory and certainly impressed with the results . I assume that by "sensations" you are referring to the process of inputs entering the input layer of the neural net. This is exactly part of a model for solving the soft problem of consciousness. What I'm getting at is that you know what a sensation feels like before you give it any label - it has a certain "is"ness to it that no equation or concept can convey. I'm saying this becomes possible when a system becomes complex enough to be self-conscious and it is usually attributed as some sort of emergent property that is created by the system, whereas I claim it is much deeper than that, and in fact it is the other way around.

Obviously this correspondence format is not really suited to dive deeper, but I'm always happy to discuss this to find if and where I'm mistaken.
It's been possible to script vim in Lua (and various other languages including Python, Ruby, Perl, and even Scheme) for a long time.. long before neovim existed.

The problem is that the overwhelming majority of vim scripts are written in vimscript. So even if you switch to using some other language to script vim, virtually all the rest of the vim ecosystem will still be in vimscript.
Vignette could also do it.

Hmm, maybe it has improved. I did this around a year ago. I spent weeks trying to train it, hiding every single "X liked this post" "Y commented on this post" and worse "Z liked a comment on this post" hoping to only see actual posts by my actual friends but it never worked. The reason I unfollowed everything was to stop my self from coming back to Facebook and scrolling through pages of garbage, wasting my time. Now if I ever accidentally visit Facebook (I do use messenger.com) it's empty so I close the tab straight away.
Do they have tabs on the side?

I wonder if it's stable on Windows now. I tried 0.2.0 but it felt more like a proof of concept. To be honest the version number kind of implies that this is not a super-stable version :)
Very true, but just like bitcoin was once 5$ and now 5000$ nothing of substance is preventing it from returning to 5$ once again other than "investors" (more like speculators). As Rupert Murdoch learned the hard way, what was worth 580 Million in 2005 was worth $35 Million by 2011 once the users left.
I'd say that if they're doing A/B testing or "field trials", then they aren't sure enough to roll the feature out to Stable. That's not Google's policy, though.

They run experiments in Canary, Dev, and Beta, then conduct a roll-out to stable to get a broader test (per the explanation here): https://textslashplain.com/2017/10/18/chrome-field-trials/
