There's another irony in the article:

"Damore’s girlfriend has agreed to meet only after being assured that, like her, I disagree with her boyfriend’s views."

Unfortunately this has become typical in some parts of the left and that is why you see a resurgent right. Trying to maintain a position by refusing to hear arguments against it is not a good long term strategy and gives moral strength to the other side.
> Yes, and that's part of the problem. I'm not saying I agree with how all this works, just stating that's how it is.

You have to keep in mind that judges make rulings that conflict with the rulings of other judges all the time. It means one of them is wrong and it takes a higher court (or legislative action) to sort it out.

Pointing to lower court rulings in the news doesn't mean the issue is settled.

> If we could use "I don't remember" as an unquestioned excuse, we could get away with anything.

That is obviously nonsense. People are regularly convicted without being compelled to say or do anything. The government simply has to prove their case without the defendant's testimony.

> We're talking about things the government affirmatively knows that you either have or know. Unfortunately, of you no longer have or know that thing, the burden is on you to prove that you don't, which is difficult.

But that's the point. They should have to prove that you have it, not that you had it. And when the thing is the contents of your mind, it's impossible for them to prove that without your cooperation, and impossible for you to disprove it.

The burden that something can't be proven in a criminal proceeding is supposed to fall on the government, not the accused.
It's the only argument that reliably gets trotted out whenever someone mentions curbing hate speech.
> It's almost implicit that they're going to want to "differentiate" their service, which means developing lock-in but only once you've got people into the fold.

This describes every major cloud computing provider, especially Amazon. They pull you in with generalized computing, and c then try to entice you to their much more specific locked in PaaS offering.

> Nobody can agree on what "politically neutral" means, it's not a useful criterion.

It's pretty easy for a tech platform to be politically neutral. All you need are objective rules for how content "get to the top" and equal opportunity for whatever system is in place to be abused.

That last one is the problem though. Regardless of which side is doing it, there's a sense of unfairness felt by the other side when they see the system get gamed. And it invariably will. Hence the knee jerk reaction to rebalance things, which leads to calls of bias from the other side, and the cycle continues.

> Every subreddit listed at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversial_Reddit_communiti.... could be argued to be political and protected under "political neutrality".

Do you seriously consider unconsenting upskirt photos of women[1] political speech? Not just, free speech, but specifically "political speech"?

Whatever you think about Facebook, it is not irrelevant to the vast majority of people. What was the pressing issue it was solving? Even the personal computer was not solving a pressing issue at the time. New products create the demand for it and the influence of it only makes sense in retrospect. There are not many solutions that are both achievable and solve obviously huge problems. If there were clear ways to solve these problems, tons of people will have already done it. We solve huge problems by first solving small ones and laddering up.

I've found Linux to be cleaner, less cluttered, and generally easier to deal with. Instead of having to use outdated GNU packages and Brew, I have a proper package manager that never gives me problems.
I don't see why people care so much. Its just another echo chamber that can be completely ignored. Clearly the benefits of free flow of information outweigh the drawbacks so its best to just accept the drawbacks.
Sure, liberals have been criticising Google and Facebook recently over the Trump/Russia stuff and about their ability to influence elections, but only once Trump and Brexit happened. I'm not sure they cared all that much before, at least not beyond specific issues that were mostly confined to the tech sections of sites like the NYT or Guardian, or generic 'big corp' stuff like tax avoidance. The Daily Mail and the Sun have been running sensational front page stories about things like David Cameron having close links to Google or Google making it easy for terrorists to build a bomb for something like 5 years.

The reason I mention right wing politics is firstly that they are the ones in power at the moment in the US/UK/Australia - Trump and May aren't going to care what the Guardian or NYT say and don't have any ideological reason to care about things like the immorality of online advertising or the affect of social media on mental health. Secondly, in the UK at least, the press as a whole is much more closely aligned to the conservative political parties. The UK press is divided roughly into right wing (Sun, Mail, Express, Telegraph, Times, Spectator), liberal (Guardian, New Statesman, FT, Economist) and left wing (Mirror, at times). The right wing outlets have vastly higher readership and reach. So if the media does have an influence on politics, it's going to be in one direction.

But my point really was that it's interesting to me to see how much the papers are working for the right wing parties or how much the right wing parties are following the agenda set by the newspapers. That's probably not so much a thing in the US (although the same question about Fox might be), but it is in the UK, especially at the moment.

E: also, to be clear, the same financial inceptives apply to the NYT and Guardian - online advertising is killing their revenue streams as well. It's just that as I said they have limited power at the moment (and it's arguable how much power they ever have - neither seems to have the ability to set the news agenda outside of the liberal middle class bubble, unlike the UK tabloids for example).
You can simply blur the post like Quora does and by clicking on it it would reveal. There is already one mechanism in place by voting threshold, but very popular posts in certain subreddits might not be ad-friendly.

I am looking at social media as a form of reinforcement learning, especially the exploration phase; by censoring it the exploration phase is significantly weakened, leading to worse results in the end. So maybe evolutionary argument would be to allow all kinds of crazy ideas (with some requiring a bit more work to read), and let people themselves to decide which ones would be used in exploitation phase? In the past when a single stupid idea was forced upon everyone by authority (e.g. nazis), people didn't have any means to counter it. With open discussion spaces some people might find excellent counterexamples immediately, clearing the issue for millions right away why a certain idea is a really bad one.

This is a presentation from this years ableton loop conference. You can find articles with more details on his website www.teropa.info.
With my Google Home, I often ask it, "Can my dog eat X" and it'll answer usually from the single answer from Google.

While Google Home usually says the source, "According to WebMD..." or "According to <some blog post>..."
it would be horrible if it gave the wrong answer - saying something was safe to eat but it really wasn't.

I hope they take extra precaution with answers related to medicine/safety.
For profit corporations require that the senior employees they hire for impossibly high paychecks are constantly providing benefits that can be brought up in quarterly board meetings. This means taking an already functional product and making changes to it -- any change -- that can be spun as being a positive improvement worthy of a promotion.

Google Search is already where it should be. Yet Google Search employs thousands of incredibly expensive engineers. Something has to be done, and that "something" is rarely going to be good, and almost guaranteed to be something nobody actually wanted.
Yeah no doubt, there are a ton of unanswered questions here. If they can't retrofit their existing chargers to "mega" status that would pretty severely limit the usefulness of this product.

> Cloud compute is a commodity, even one of the major things sold by internet Wal-Mart. Is that really where Microsoft wants to go?

If you think the direction of cloud computing is heading towards commodification, then it's very clear you don't understand Microsoft's strategy or Amazon's strategy.

Selling VMs and containers are commodity services that every large cloud provider must sell so they don't disqualify themselves, but the margins suck and the lock-in is minimal.

Look at the AWS and Azure catalog. There's a tremendous amount of value added services that go beyond selling commodity systems and they are selling.

They're selling for one simple reason: Most people don't want to build their own cloud scalable architectures, they want to solve their problems. If AWS and Azure can make it easy for an intern to set up auto-scaling databases and Kafka messaging system, then their manager is more likely to will be willing to pay a premium of the company's money so they can meet their deadlines.

Or for a year's worth of lost opportunities (professional and personal) due to being unable to remain upright for more than a few hours at a time? Or for the loss of activities that I once enjoyed?

So his beliefs could be constituted creating a hostile environment for other employees. It's not a new thing. You're free to share your ideas, except the idea that your other employees should not be there because of a protected status such as religion, race, gender etc. It's a liability for Google to keep that employee on if they are unwilling to recant the statement as they would be enabling discrimination. It's been this way since 1964.

Tim Berners-Lee on the Internet as a platform for 'fake news'
This came up a few weeks ago, and someone from google chimed in saying google just recently release new apps usin gwt, and it's still active. But I share your view that it was a failed technology. All the gwt I see in my area is legacy. I remember prototyping a project with it and being flummoxed by the ui not laying out the way it ought to have. From that experience, I never used it again.
Some governments have banned it, many haven't. It's likely that Bitcoin (and cryptocurrencies in general) aren't, and never were, the existential threat to governments as a whole that anarcho-capitalists wanted it it to be.

States and law enforcement are more likely to be concerned with what Bitcoin is used for, than the mere fact that it is used.
> C, contrary to popular belief, actually does have a runtime

I've been left wondering what you meant by this. Are you referring to the stack and heap management? Or OS processes and threads?

If not, could you please explain what you mean by C runtime, and how does Rust differs from it when it is shut down??
If you take the Model S and scale it up then people have said the battery is half the cost of the car, and therefore the battery alone is roughly the cost of a normal car. I don't think it would be suprising if the same is true for the semi.

There's at least one rural delivery man who bought a Tesla Model S and paid for it by using the mileage payments he gets for his job. So as long as your route fits, the same kind of high up front cost being amortised over time applies. The more miles you drive the better the economics works due to lower fuel/maintenance costs.

Non-Tesla companies are making pretty much the same pitch in regards to battery busses, again targetting fleet managers who have the spreadsheets in place already to plan and manage this kind of expenditure.
Yeah, Milksnake is mentioned in the article :)
Thanks for mentionning it.

Beyond some very nice pieces of software created by clever SW developpers (let's mention DBPedia Spotlight, RelFinder, Semantic MediaWiki, N3.js) I mostly agree with your argument.

To be the devil's advocate, in my opinion, data lakes are just a new buzzword that will eventually become what the Semantic Web was supposed to be. With some millions dollars, companies will aggregate and interlink their datasets. There are then one step away from extracting their master data from their data lake & publish it as Linked Corporate Data. From that, the public part of will be published as Linked Open Data.

Twitter never should have started down the road of censorship. The only people who agree on what should and should not be censored are the people who don't believe in censorship.
No one is forbidding "jitneys". What is being discussed is maintaining certain safety standards that, as an individual, one might not consider significant enough to care about, but on a societal level, make everyone's lives better.

For example, someone can undercut you on price by taking risky shortcuts. Therefore your product or service won't sell, but as a society, it's better for everyone that certain standards are met. Hence, regulations on electrical work and plumbing, etc. Same thing with driver's training and sleep minimums.

Real life example is the recent bus crashes in New York City from overworked or underpaid Chinatown buses.
> a panelist out-and-out harassed an attendee... and the organizers did nothing

You seem to have misplaced the context which I'm sure was unintentional - the panelist, having been harassed and dogpiled for many years by the racist misogynist attendee, who specifically sat on the front row with many of his fellow harassers to make a point, called him a shithead.

That, sir, is why the organisers did nothing - because he is a verifiable shithead and calling him such in front of an audience is not harassment in any sense of the word.
I'm guessing a battery pack of 2019 will weigh about 60-70% what the old battery pack of Model S weighted per kWh.

See for instance Roadster's 200 kWh, which I'm pretty sure is not twice as heavy as that of the Model S.

The article doesn't touch on the idea that automated trucking can reduce costs and improve efficiencies, making ground-based shipping cheaper, in turn spurring more cargo shipment activity, and thus creating more operator jobs.

>“It’s not just job loss,” Sam Loesche, a legislative representative for the Teamsters, told WIRED in September. “It’s also what happens to the working conditions of the person who remains in the cab. How do we protect the livelihood of the driver who may be pushed to operate on a 24-hour continual basis because the company is claiming he’s in the back of a cab?”

I suppose it makes sense for them to push for shift limits, because fewer hours per day per operator, for the same number of man-hours required, means more jobs total. However, I personally think it might be interesting to have a moving apartment with a nice view of changing terrain.
It's a very different measure, because the sort of people who rate media have certain characteristics to their taste that are more likely.
Paypal used to have this feature that allowed you to install a browser add-on and you could generate a CC number on the fly that was good for either one time use or recurring use (for subscription services). This feature served two primary purposes:
1) to be able to pay using PayPal on sites that didn't support it
2) to help prevent against fraud which was becoming a massive problem at the time. If the number was stolen, it immediately wasn't good anymore and a hacker/thief could not use the CC number to purchase/steal anything.

It was that second aspect that I thought would totally eliminate all credit card fraud and make people comfortable with online purchases on smaller sites. I have no idea why PayPal killed the program, but even before it did, not many people used it. I was the only person I knew that was even aware it existed.

EDIT - if anyone is curious, I looked it up. Two ex-PayPal employees explain here:

Leaving aside the comedic factor, albeit problem-solving, if you want a sane alternative check out pnpm. It will not only make the installation of deps faster but it will also allow you to override a dependency on any n-level e.g. a dependency of a dependency.

A dependency published a patch version with a breaking change and the author is on vacation? No problem, you can lock it within your project to the previous version.

Did you fork a dependency and you want to use your version? You can do that too. In all of your dependency chain. You can even change the version specifier to a git url so no need to publish your fork to the npm registry.

I whole heatedly recommend anyone to have a look at pnpm. As a unix dev, there's so much in there that is well thought and kept simple this fast.

I won't miss them. For many years their certificate registration process was extremely confusing and tedious, but they conveniently charged a lot of money to revoke a certificate (read: it was cheaper to buy a new certificate from someone else like SSLMate for less money than it was to revoke a free certificate with StartSSL).

I once contacted their support and was barraged with unprovoked aggressiveness. Things like asking an innocent question with no snarkiness and getting a response like "Next time you should read the page :)".

Nowadays I use Let's Encrypt and I'm really happy with it. I haven't even thought about an SSL certificate in about a year and all of my sites have auto renewing certificates for free.

If anyone is curious how to set all of that and just want to see how all of the pieces of hosting a secure site come together (from hosting, domain purchasing and automated SSL integration with Let's Encrypt) then you can check out a course I put together that demonstrates everything at https://httpswithletsencrypt.com/.

I'll be really curious about how this pans out. It seems like they vastly over-engineered it, but maybe I'm wrong.
Yes, it's fair to say that there's an increasing level of concern about social media and the influence it has from across the political spectrum (well, maybe not from the populist far right…). As well as the beginnings of an application of the impact on mental health. Those are things that certainly warrant concern.

What I'm talking about is more things like the Sun (Murdoch tabloid in the UK) printing front pages about how Google helps terrorists build bombs.
WebGL is fantastic, but writing compelling software with it is significantly more difficult than just using "normal" web libraries because you have to be able to think in rendering terms, use linear algebra (a bit), etc. And the thing is, it turns out it is really difficult to find something to do using WebGL that isn't easier to understand in a normal 2D visualization.

I think there is great stuff to be done (and is done) with WebGL, but most of it is in the background and subtle. "Walking through a data world" is just a dumb idea, for lots of reasons. But using WebGL to speed up 2D visualizations works great, as is using it to make more interesting 2D visualizations. However, that is a subtle art.
Point 2 is a red herring. No one is arguing that it wasn't in Google's short term interests to suppress thoughts that were controversial to a large part of it's work force. The debate, at least on the surface, is about whether his arguments have merit.

Underneath all that is the real debate: should we able to express ugly, unpleasant, or unfortunate truths in public as facts? The left lately seems to want certain things to be beyond discussion, and that list seems to grow as time goes on.
