One factor that turned me away from Google+ when they were hyping it was their usage model. Having context-sensitive associations "circles" was nice, but they ruined it by not also having context-sensitive identity. Instead there was all that stuff about requiring real names everywhere.

In the real world we traditionally rely on other factors to keep out identities separate. A dirty joke told to some friends doesn't get archived and indexed and re-shared with metadata back to your boss. It gets forgotten or attributed to "a guy I know." So it's relatively safe to give your real name in both contexts, and maintain the separation between studious-worker in one context and bawdy-clown in another.

But online, maintaining that "freedom to be a different kind of person" isn't reliably safe when both things come from the same user-ID.
Their site would literally work just fine as mobile site. It wouldn't give them as much data.

Years ago I had the app installed. The fact that they wanted not one, but two hugely bloated apps on my phone is the reason they haven't been on my phone in many years.

The network is either working or not at any given instant. During that instant, CAP determines how the system responds.

Reliability is the graph of many instants over some period of time, so 50% reliability over a day means it's not working roughly half of the instants measured for 24 hours.

So it doesn't whether your network is 1%, 99%, or 100% reliable because CAP is saying that when a partition exists, this is how the system works. If the network is 100% reliable, then sure, partitions never happen and you can be CA, but since that is not possible and partitions will always happen eventually, you have to be either CP or AP - and Spanner chooses CP, which is the only accurate description.
Hi everyone,

Thought I would provide a few examples :

> Liberals are not going on mass firing and blacklist campaigns of conservative Muslims.

Where are these 'mass' campaigns happening? I am sure there are some by fringe liberal groups, but 'mass' is probably an overstatement. Same with filtered and censored on social media; I see plenty of right wing posts on Facebook and Twitter.

> This was a big issue in the atheist community. A lot of atheist thinkers became massively successful for mocking and criticizing christians. But there was huge controversy when they started doing the same for Muslims.

Any examples? I have never seen any 'huge controversy' for mocking conservative Muslim beliefs.

Some of what you are observing probably also has to do with location and culture; the people posting things encounter a lot more conservative Christians in their day to day life than conservative Muslims. You don't have the same emotional response to something that isn't happening near you.

I am realizing as we are continuing this discussion how difficult it is to reach each other. A lot of this has to do with our own perceptions of the zeitgeist of society, and we clearly are not seeing the same things. I see the massive power social conservatives wield over our national discourse and politics, while you see the power liberals hold. I don't know how we can convince each other. We can both surely find countless examples of both conservatives and liberals making comments that prove our points, and countless examples to disprove the other person's.

I feel like so much of this is your own personal lens with which you see the world. I don't think we can show the other person our lens through an anonymous internet forumn.

What resulted were a bunch of efforts to let ISPs remain Title I but still allow the FCC to enforce net neutrality on them. They failed because the ISPs would sue the FCC over each successive plan/rules.

The last case was Verizon vs the FCC and in that case the judge said the FCC could enforce net neutrality if and only if it classified the ISPs as Title II instead of as Title I.

The FCC then took a couple years trying to find a way around this, but ultimately decided in 2015 to jsut reclassify the ISPs as Title II, because they couldn't find any other way to enforce net neutrality while keeping the ISPs classified as Title I.

PS:

>>>> VERIZON: During oral arguments in Verizon v. FCC in 2013, judges asked whether the phone giant would favor some preferred services, content or sites over others if the court overruled the agency’s existing open internet rules. Verizon counsel Helgi Walker had this to say: “I’m authorized to state from my client today that but for these rules we would be exploring those types of arrangements.” Walker’s admission might have gone unnoticed had she not repeated it on at least five separate occasions during arguments.

. . .it treats them as a commodity whose purpose is to fill a box and make money. In effect, it disparages the works themselves. If you don't agree with that attitude, you can call them “works” or “publications.”
This is a reasonable point in the abstract, but it doesn't account for the current reality in which "Look, I found a heretic" affords such outsized rewards in karma (or social cachet, or the personal satisfaction of having taken down a baddie, or whatever you want to call it).

Fifty years ago, you could say women are too dumb to program computers and still keep your job and be invited to dinner parties, and now you would be fired and shunned. Progress, right? The problem is, that power - the power to destroy careers of people who have done something bad - is not being wielded consistently or sparingly. We're aiming it at misogynists and homophobes, and also their defenders, and also people aren't defending them per se but kinda sound like they are if you only read the headline.

(But the point of the essay is not that Brendan Eich and James Damore shouldn't have been fired; it's that the "Brendan Eich and James Damore should be fired" position has caused a chilling effect on open dialogue.)
I not sure about them asking AWS to bid as they'd see AMZN in a "conflict of interest" online ecommerce space.
You're not convincing me when your argument is literally "it doesn't matter if he's right, it's illegal to talk about it."

Which isn't true anyway. As I said, his opinions were nowhere near that extreme and are basically just "women have statistically different interests than men." He never said the women in tech were less interested or capable or should be treated any differently.
Like so many things here, I think this is another case of monopoly. Accredited institutions can do whatever they want because there isn't enough competition and students are being taken advantage of (no one is giving them the right financial knowledge about interest rates and years of labor required to pay off the loan).

Let's open up the playing field and allow more cheaper colleges like community colleges. And educate students about choosing those cheaper schools. Employers need to do their part too and stop being so elitist. Not every job requires a Stanford grad.

And let's design the programs so millennials can still work and earn money durring the day and do some kind of part time bachelors program in the evening (that doens't take too much extra time). That way instead of going into debt, they can spend the time breaking even or even building up some savings.
Google fiber failed because carriers would fork and eventually drop Android unless Google got out of the ISP business.

But now the carriers are buying up tech companies like Yahoo, their services are going to get preferential treatment so tech companies are screwed.
Same experience here with Facebook. This is a little off-topic, but, given the common ground, I visited Allsides.com and it was an interesting experience. I expected to like it, but it felt more like being a 3rd wheel watching a couple argue while both of them made the problem worse. Sigh.
Considering that the proprietary and centralized component of IOTA is the reason that it doesn't need a blockchain... well, I'll just say avoid it.

Not to mention the cryptographic vulnerabilities and how the dev team responded to them... IOTA is just a shitshow of proportions that could only be accomplished in the current crypto currency market.
I may not have expressed myself clearly, but I understood what OP was saying. Never overnight and post, kids.

I was thinking about something like Stylish or the user stylesheet I've been hearing about in Firefox (for their UI IIRC, but still). Inject some global css on older/missing doctypes, and it's probably less than 200 total declarations to handle every older tag. I'd imagine <font> to be the hardest and/or longest, followed by <blink> and <marquee>.

Would be a small extension.

My other point I think I expressed clearly enough, that the loss of presentational markup is not a loss of content in most cases. If the title is in Times New Roman instead of Arial, most of the time it'll just look worse. Unless the content is meta, the presentation is to make things more pleasant to read.
Afaik YC if anything is that they're not very not risk averse and that's because they accept tons of companies

Honestly, we all know the wild west mentality of the internet (yes, it is post national as in 'above the law') and therefore, everyone should assume attacks like that and build defenses against them. Building a service which could be brought to a 'major problem' with simple requests leading to high server loads is just negligent. What would that site do if someone actually wanted to attack it?!?

I am not saying that the trouble with the law enforcement in the internet is a neither a good nor a bad thing. Actually, it depends and in the 'real' world I am pretty happy that the law enforcement works quite good where I live. I think the thin line is somewhere where I start to fear my own governments more than the bad guys (while not having any evil intentions or plans at all).
> probably because PS and GIMP are huge projects with years of work put into them -by teams of people

Just because someone spent millions on a software doesn’t mean it’s impossible to do the same for multiple orders of magnitude less. An extreme example, AT&T spent millions on their Unix, but nowadays many CS university students recreate an OS in the corresponding OS design class.

Going back to Photoshop, PS is written in C++, it contains decades of legacy code, its first version was designed to run on 7MHz CPU with 128 KB RAM. Another things is, it contains rarely used stuff (e.g. legacy formats support) and also stuff irrelevant for web (such as COM automation interface).

Yet, that's exactly what happened and you "conveniently" forgot to mention that Russia also took all the SU wealth and reserves. They even pulled back all of the weapons and military vehicles out of the ex-member countries, leaving them exposed and then started to help separatists in the wars against sovereign nations. Russia is shittiest neighbor of them all.

I don't think it is a non-sequitur as much as focusing on different concerns.

While it is true that the RW statement doesn't imply that all Muslims are terrorists, it does imply that it is ok to ban ALL Muslims if some are terrorists. The liberal position is that this is NOT ok; we feel that the cost of blocking innocent people from entering the country is not worth the cost of allowing some possible terrorists in.

The RW position is that the cost of innocent people being blocked from entering is worth paying to block the possible terrorists.

This is somewhat ironic, because the positions become reversed when talking about gun control; conservatives believe you shouldn't punish law abiding gun owners because some people use guns to hurt people, while liberals believe it is a fair price to pay.

This is actually one place where I diverge from the traditional liberal position; while I think some gun control is reasonable, I think we shouldn't punish gun owners unreasonably because some people can't be trusted with guns.

No, they are the jerks. And they're often not qualified to perform an interview. No training, they don't know what they're doing most of the time. Probably the biggest problem here is the people performing the interviews are not qualified to do the interview. I received formal training on performing interviews and it still took 50+ of them until I did it well. Most of these people aren't taking it as seriously as they should be -- because they're jerks, probably.

Over time, the number one qualifier to accept an offer or make one is that I don't want to work with jerks. Neither do you. Good for you.

You're lucky to see such "flags" early in the process. So you're doing a great job finding out which jerky companies you won't like working for.

About what to wear: when invited for on-site interview, ask whether you should wear formal or informal business attire, always ask, its a perfectly valid question.

Anyone who says you are only there to be interviewed to fulfill some kind of gender quota is not someone you want to work for anyway. You want to be hired for the merit of your domain expertise and qualifications. I can't imagine any worse feeling than showing up for work every day and knowing that you're just the "token girl coder".

And you absolutely deserve feedback.

You'll be on the other side someday interviewing candidates, so please remember all of these experiences and make it a pleasant one for your next team members.

My best advice is that you have plenty of control. You can walk out at any time. You have the skills they need. It is your time. They need you.

You say "politician". I say "registered nurse running in a district where the R would be effective unopposed otherwise, needing straightforwardly to raise $100k before the end of the year to get taken seriously by the DNC".

You can not like that the system works this way (I hope you do like the idea of more RN's and school teachers as reps!), but compared to lobbying the Republican FCC, it has the virtue of being plausibly effective.

Would you agree: The question being specifically whether in most cases necessary-even-if-not-sufficient genetic traits can be found ("genetic traits", as opposed to "genetic illnesses" since illness may not be the most likely result.) The problem being that although so far most of our exciting findings are of at-least-necessary genes (or plural genes, etc); obviously it's just these sort of cases that will produce high correlations and grab attention, so there should be a presumption of the equivalent of "publication bias." Necessarily, these will be the low-hanging fruit even if such cases are actually the exception, overall.

Of course, mere and relatively small correlations between disease and genetic traits are extremely common; but there are lots of possible explanations of such findings. In some cases 16 percent of all genes have a small positive correlation to a given disease, and "if everybody is at fault nobody is at fault!"
The problem is, agreement was made with Soviet Union and not with Russia.

I've been through YC. I'm on the board of a YC company that has raised an A round. The negative signaling affects you're talking about just aren't there.

YC does have a positive signal - meaning that any stamp of approval from YC will make you do better than not. This is why demo day rounds are frequently oversubscribed. They do not have a negative signal - by that I mean getting rejected will be treated the same as not applying.
Net neutrality is 100%, unequivocally favorable for every tech company (Google, Facebook, Netflix, Twitter, Microsoft, etc.).

Net neutrality favors any entrant equally, and thus is unfavorable to the large tech players (all of whom can financially overcome any obstacle).

deregulation, a free market economy, and a small government

Right, and that is total bullshit. State rights is a supposed principal of the Republican party, until a state wants to do something in opposition (seen time and time again, and already evident with net neutrality -- if California and New York state demand NN, it will turn the whole thing into farce leaving the hillbilly states reaping what they sow). Republicans love free market, unless it's the free market threatening the incumbents.

unless you really think that Alphabet, inc. is on the side that opposes big businesses

This profoundly and comically misreads the motives of the big tech players.
It's used a surprising amount for academic discussion in my field, especially more informal stuff like which conferences to submit to or follow-ups to recent controversies. Basically the discussions that 10 years ago would've happened on a mailing list, or in the comments on a prominent person's blog. Some of that also happens on Twitter, but a somewhat different subset of discussions go there.
Yes. And not just a hint; Demis Hassabis (DeepMind founder) explicitly stated "full paper coming soon, will have things like early games": https://twitter.com/demishassabis/status/938347604462542849

I'm sure they're saving some stuff for the full paper. Don't know how many games that will include, but hopefully it'll have some shogi game records too.
> Just to clarify: I'm in agreement that we need net neutrality. I've just been around the block enough times to know that the FCC's latest action just isn't the end of the world.

That's contradictory. Either we don't need net neutrality, and we're all being silly caring, or we do need net neutrality, and the ruckus is justified.

I don't see how we could need net neutrality, have it just be repealed, but be told that it's no big deal and we should just go about our business and not care.

I agree it's not the end of the world, in the sense that now ISPs will start to behave badly again, and either Congress or the FCC will be forced to act/backpedal (of course, after a lot of harm has already been done), or, at worst, we'll have to wait for a sane administration to be in office to restore some regulation. But that doesn't mean it's not a big deal right now.
