Here's the deal; if you're (a) at work and (b) dealing with subordinates, the correct amount of sex to bring to the relationship is zero. Figuring out "where to draw the line" is no more complicated than deciding how much flirting with your own daughter is appropriate. Seriously, when you're in a position like Lasseter's, the math is SUPER simple.
Look at what ISPs do in Portugal, which lacks any kind of net neutrality. They are already trying to bundle sites and protocols like cable channels. It's not far fetched at all.
Is anyone actually against net neutrality? I don't think I've ever seen a con argument.
It's not foolproof but this tool needs to be more widely-known - it would've saved me on countless occasions.
What would stop ISPs from turning the Internet to Cable if Net Neutrality is removed?
“This whole tech thing,” he said in the June interview. “I’m really behind the eight ball.”

You said "haven't been there for years" which means you came from 4chan. So does your behavior, pretending you don't know the word "trap" or purposefully mis-gendering is an insult to transgender people. That bullshit doesn't play here. You still haven't asked any questions worth answering.

>Defamatory Language

>Defamatory: "deceptive," "fooling," "pretending," "posing," "trap," or "masquerading"

>Gender identity is an integral part of a person's identity. Do not characterize transgender people as "deceptive," as "fooling" or "trapping" others, or as "pretending" to be, "posing" or "masquerading" as a man or a woman. Such descriptions are inaccurate, defamatory and insulting. (See "passing" and "stealth" as problematic terms above.)

Now you know. So stop pretending you didn't know before.
> Information Overload is to blame.

The information overload is due to centralization and advertising.

Individuals can easily overcome information overload via compartmentalization, but Facebook works directly against that strategy by mixing sources, and mixing in advertisements.

What we need to provide individuals is a decentralized communication network that has all the features and accessibility users want.
I think the wording the media uses is very misleading.

Many of the recently reported cases are really an abuse of power. The victim is often threatened with a less appealing outcome if she were to resist the advances made upon her. It is worth noting that people rise to positions of power due to their talent for being over-bearing and appearing reasonable when in fact they are being self-important, entitled jerks. A swift kick where it hurts the most would be the best response, but then again that would result in immediate expulsion.

If the annoying 18 yo male is handsome and has a good job, then the pressure is welcome. But if he is some pimple faced, nerd then it is considered to be harassment. You only have to see how sports jocks have the babes fawning over them.

Percentages are impossible to come by. But to confirm your suspicions, I know of at least one serial harassment claimant who has made out quite well from her accusations. But the media didn't give it as much airtime as it deserved. Probably so as to not tip of the M.O. for others.
I bet the statutes define fines the same for any party with some maximum. States could charge a percentage of revenue, cash on hand, valuation, but those are easily fudged to minimize liability.
yeah, does look like it. I need to dig more. I was thinking about all the open source github projects too. Typically in languages such as C/C++ that need to be compiled

Sugar is such poison. There is zero nutritional value, unless you're in the middle of running a marathon. It should be severely regulated. There is no reason it should take substantial effort to find common food products containing <10g of sugar per serving.
How do you know they "wanted" access to look for Amazon keys? Do you know it wasn't from a blanket scan of github?

Sure, there are only 13 projects on https://uber.github.io/, but there are 169 on https://github.com/uber, and it only takes a short while to scan for access keys. There are plenty of open tools that will scan github for keys.

This may not have been targeted at Uber but a net for all of github with Uber being just one company that was hit up for cash. Unless you're saying that you know the motivations of the attackers.

It's a ridiculous comparison. Leaving the country is a lot more difficult than changing ride share apps. It's not hypocritical to take the low-hanging ethical fruit, even if you don't do the harder stuff. In any case, living in a country doesn't imply that you support everything its government does. If anything, the ethical course of action is to stay and try to change things.
> It’s like saying that banning telemarketing calls is “removing agency” from people who really do want to be solicited.

This is pretty disingenuous. You are assuming famous people with lots of money and power don't have anyone they work with who want, like, pretty badly, to be 'solicited'. In other words, those who desire solicitation aren't going to be just indifferent about it, as one would be if they for some reason opted out of a do-not-call list. Or were you imagining those folks lusting over the prospect of telemarketing calls? ;)
ISP-funded lobbyists seem to have a lot of sway.

Ajit Pai's FCC is against net neutrality as a result.

The fact that Pai was Verizon's top lawyer doesn't help, either.
I agree. That's all I meant too. Stating the obvious - As in, if you say anything in support of this Trump fellow, you will be down voted. And this is true as exemplified by the "down votes".
When SOPA was going on so-and-so years ago, there was a similar bout of over-exaggerated hysteria to get people in action. I was against it back then, but I think the last couple of years have shown that panic and outrage is what actually gets people motivated to do anything, rather than straight, boring facts. Why not harness it for something good then?

Just as an educational aside, I think many people are mistaken about what the “separate but equal” decision in Plessy v. Ferguson actually was. I always used to think the decision said that it’s okay for restaurants and other buildings to provide separate restrooms and facilities for different ethnicities, but it was actually more than that. The decision said that it’s okay for state government to require all business to provide separate facilities.

I think it’s a bad thing to do either way, for the record. Forgive me for hijacking your comment to throw in a little factoid.
One could argue that without net neutrality, internet providers could provide substantially cheaper internet services -- e.g. just Facebook for $1 a month.

However that breaks down once you consider the fact that it's not practical at all. Not to mention that providers would have no reason to offer such cheap offerings, either.
These are all ad hominem, since you genuinely don't seem to realize:

That's the point, it will take A LOT longer for the robots to replace these menial jobs. (And they are not all as low-paying.)

I remember articles from one or two decades ago about the attempts to automate a very dangerous and not even low-paying job of window washing in the high rise buildings. It is a real problem, it does not require HAL-9000 grade AI that can analyse Shakespeare, it is economically viable, and neither then nor now it is completely automated. I see that in Australia, window washing jobs are paid as high as low to midrange software development.

I am not even going to mention more complex tasks like a work of a plumber, a gardener, a janitor. Is the work of a janitor the more lucrative occupation?

It takes very long to get from the first demos to a prototype working most of the time, and even longer from the prototype to a system that can be relied upon in a mission critical environment (a category that most applications of robotics fall into). The Silicon Valley prophets got it all backwards.
Extremely relevant book, https://www.amazon.com/Digital-Retro-Evolution-Personal-Comp...

(the refcode is from the authors site, https://www.cameralabs.com/digitalretro/ )

The interior of the book is much more beautiful than the cover, and sadly Amazon's look inside function is mostly the contents and index.

It's high quality photos of ~100 various computers from the Altair 8800 through iirc recent Apple stuff, from all angles, with text explaining that machine's importance & innovations. A great coffee table book. Even covers some Japanese-only stuff.

I also recall a really extensive and beautiful set of photo albums on flickr which I am currently trying to find the link for, it's in my logs somewhere. Will post that here when I find it tonight. Meanwhile, I found this while googling for it, and while it has some great stuff, it's not as uniformly amazing as the other stream I'm looking for: https://www.flickr.com/groups/vintagecomputers/pool/
I personally mostly don't agree with conservative media either, and I even mostly agree with you here, but to be fair the left also has their anti-fact narratives & outlets, and wrongthink, just the same as the right--just on different issues.
I'm against net neutrality. It's essentially a wealth transfer from the infrastructure industry to the ad industry. It's pretty dumb imo.
> See Title II of The Communication Act of 1934. [1] That's where the 300 pages of regulation come in to play.

No, it isn't. Laws and regulations are different things, and while Title II provides lots of pages of regulatory authority, the 2015 Open Internet order, as well as actually providing the Title II classification, adopts the specific regulations under Title II authority that the FCC would apply.

The suggestions that other authorities that were specifically not used would somehow attach themselves to the internet is dishonest FUD (but that's pretty much all the anti-neutrality camp has ever had.)
Well, Ajit Pai says it stifles investments. Apparently investments fell by 5% or so over a period of time since the Title II classification. While I love NN, I also hate no viable competition to cable/ISP monopolies. I don't think NN would be an issue if everyone had at least 3 viable choices of broadband providers. That's the right (tm) way to address it, or should I say market-based, by fostering competition via policy.
Cory Doctorow: How to Do Everything (Lifehacking Considered Harmful)
But this doesn't make sense. Gender is a social construct.
This has been blown out of proportion.

- This is not Equifax, which leaked hundreds of millions SSN; or LinkedIn, which leaked hashed password of millions[1]; or Yahoo, which leaked personal information of billions, including security questions and hashed passwords [2]; or Target, which affected 40MM credit cards [3].

"Compromised data [..] included names, email addresses and phone numbers of 50 million Uber riders around the world, [..] including some 600,000 U.S. driver’s license numbers. No Social Security numbers, credit card information, trip location details or other data were taken"

- There is no gross incompetence. The breach was due to an AWS access key in a private github repo. I bet you can find enough developers in this forum who store sensitive information in private GitHub repos without git encryption, and who may or may not feel guilty, because of the (false) sense of safety given by 1) the guarantee of github private repo and 2) the fact that access keys can be revoked and are generally handled with less care.

- The response by the new CEO is decisive and timely. The CSO was fired on the same day the CEO learned about the incident. There is also internal review, new advisor, and reasonable protection offered to the drivers affected, even though there is no indication the data is leaked beyond the thief, and driver license numbers are not the best for identify theft.

I have that book. It's lovely.

I bought it for the photos and to support Gordon Liang, who writes some good camera reviews on CameraLabs.
When was that? Seems to be not much of a problem anymore if this is correct: https://broadbandnow.com/California/Orange
True, but there are many other ways people can lose control of their password other than the site being owned and TOTP helps in most of them, right? PW phished, shoulder surfed, socially engineered, etc.. I agree that separate devices is better, but given the choice of no 2FA and storing both secrets in 1PW, it still seems to me like you're better off with the latter. Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong on that.
The best support queue experience I've ever had was with Sonic.net. The first thing they do is ask if you want someone to call you instead of waiting on the line. You still have to wait the same amount of time, but you don't have to be on the phone. You can also go to their website and put in your phone number and they'll call you.
Francis Crick Institute's open-plan design building 'too noisy to concentrate'
ISPs are free to compete with Google, Facebook, etc by offering competitive web services.

Instead, ISPs want to leverage their almost-exclusive control of Internet access to unfairly crush competition.

Users can choose not the use Facebook. Many users cannot choose not to use Comcast, because Comcast is the only ISP in the area.

Lack of competition among ISPs make them different from web companies.
It could just as easily be that he was the lead cheerleader for the project and when he left there was nobody there to advocate for it, so it was first to go.
It's not, I feel the same way, but it's hard to be intellectually honest. I will be a vegetarian soon I think, it's been getting harder and harder to manage the dissonance since I got a dog.
Sorry, there are limits to how far that is allowed to go. As with so many things, bad actors ruin things for everyone else, forcing onerous rules, regulations, and laws to prevent their bad actions from having too great a negative impact on society as a whole. We tried it the "let's just let things sort themselves out" way, and it didn't work, to the detriment of massive negative impact on the lives of people of color specifically. It's important to realize that it doesn't take a majority of white society to create a preference cascade which is horribly exclusionary toward non-whites, that's why we have the laws the way they are.
IANAL, but here is my thinking: The problem with personal phones is they are hard to audit. When a phone belongs to the corp, corp owns the phone, and "probably" can audit it as it wished.
I stumbled across this documentary on PBS years ago and couldn't stop watching it. Something about the old production quality and narrative was an enjoyable departure from the tension building in most modern documentaries.
If you're unconvinced, you should default to supporting net neutrality. It's the status quo, the null hypothesis. The burden of proof is on the people wishing to make this fundamental change to the structure of the internet.
I'm sorry, what? The lesson of the last couple years is that we should act more like extremists drumming up outrage with misinformation?
The best word would be "understandable" instead of "right" because the intent was to explain their political perspective, but I was quoting the parent's matter-of-fact use of "right".
LTS kernels don't magically patch themselves, so if you can patch, why not be on the latest patched stable? If you're really concerned about kernel security you're already using grsecurity/PaX patches (which have neutered many otherwise 0-days) or OpenBSD anyway.
The SO answer by user1907906 would be my preference as well.

It appears that you trying to wrap generic SQL queries with REST. That is not really the intended use case for REST. A GET should be retrieving a single resource or small set of resources with relatively few query parameters.

Since REST is not suitable for "query heavy" use, I would prefer to use GraphQL if that is the nature of your API. If you are prevented from using GraphQL, then the SO solution is probably your next best bet.
> Not to mention that providers would have no reason to offer such cheap offerings, either.

Sure they might. Large companies with deep pockets subsidize the premise to their own benefit (whatever that happens to be). In your example, let's say instead it's $3 per month for just Facebook services (FB, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc). Comcast partners with Facebook on the effort, in which Facebook pays a few dollars per month to subsidize the user plan.

Facebook currently derives something close to $9 per month from US & Canadian members. They hit 45.6% net income margins last quarter, which is extraordinary. They're set to become the greatest pound for pound profit machine in world history, they can afford to use some of that margin to further lock in their monopoly by purchasing preferential access treatment in numerous ways.
Researchers Hack Car Infotainment System and Find Sensitive User Data Inside
I always just assumed that flat earth theory is some elaborate inside joke, that the practitioners all "get", and are collectively trolling everyone else. Somewhat like the illuminati theorists, etc. If you think about it, it takes quite a bit of effort to form a valid sounding debate on a topic that you don't believe in. And it is also fun coming up with defenses on either "side".

So here's a good one I came up with for the "round earth" side. The sun is always about the size of a dime held at arm's length, at sunrise, noon, or sunset. If there earth were flat, then the sun would appear larger at sunrise, smaller at sunset, when in New York, and it would be just the opposite (smaller at sunrise, larger at sunset) when in San Francisco.
You are wrong. One of the many bad consequences of this legislation is that Internet service will almost certainly become exactly like cable TV, as has already happened in places without such rules, in that you will be allowed to access a subset of the Internet for free/cheap, and will have to pay more for broader access.

Why on earth would you think this would not happen? Because the tiny handful of telecom and cable companies, already protected from competition by various laws and regulations, will decide to leave hundreds of millions of dollars on the table so that people like them more?
If there is a security benefit to enabling TOTP and then storing the secret in 1Password alongside your 1Password-generated password for that site, it is extremely marginal.

I don't think TOTP is dumb; I think you should use it, but only let the keys touch your phone, never your computer.
All of that, plus a lack of understanding regarding the basics of astrophysics, it would seem. (e.g. I've seriously heard flat-earthers argue 'how can water stick to the surface of a ball?')
I think these filters that Facebook provides are troublesome, but I also don’t have an inherent problem with showing people ads featuring images of people who look similar to them (whether it’s skin color, gender, socioeconomic status, interest/activities, etc.)

I can’t think of a strong reason to oppose such targeting, assuming the level of ad exposure itself isn’t targeting based on features irrelevant to the product being advertised. I oppose targeting real estate ads based on skin color, since that is irrelevant, but I don’t oppose targeting ads based on directly relevant factors (e.g. high-end condos for wealthy people, NBA tickets for people who like “basketball” on Facebook, gender-targeted attire or toiletries, etc.)

That said, I realize that drawing the line may not be so easy in many cases, and there may still be societal consequences that I oppose (a prominent example being the traditional concepts of which types of toys are intended for children of each gender, although I have my own opinions on the separate issue of targeting ads at children).

>Portugal... lacks any kind of net neutrality.

Last I checked, Portugal is in the European Union. Presumably it has the same net neutrality rules the rest of the EU does.
Smoke breaks. I think a near majority of Greyhound riders smoke. And dang, Germans and French smoke way more than Americans - it's almost like they don't know or care that it'll kill you, and make you cough badly enough it sounds like you're dying. Somehow I kinda doubt it'll be any faster on a FlixBus.
All other privately controlled electronic media does that, and you haven’t offered any reason to expect less here, so why not?

Of course, net neutrality is an issue of control and regulation. Losing net neutrality, mind you, involves private companies having less restraint and more control. What will they do with it? Reddit doesn’t know for sure any more than you do, and that’s the problem, of course.

Because the ISPs control your Internet access.

They don't compete with each other.

Without net neutrality, they can prioritize, slow down, or block any site or content they want to.

Many people cannot simply switch away.

They have only one ISP to choose from.

You can switch away from Facebook whenever you wish.
Net neutrality has only existed in actual law for an extremely short amount of time.

Or put another way, for about 90%+ of the Web-Internet combo's active existence in the US consumer market, net neutrality has not been law.
The cable bundling isn't scare-mongering, it's a real scenario (but a worst-case one).

It also serves the purpose of being something I can explain to less-technical relatives at the Thanksgiving table, and they immediately grasp the importance. If I started talking about Title II and common carriers and peering agreements it would have nowhere near the same impact.
