I'm pretty sure you'll find plenty of that already if you google "Mickey Mouse porn".
Thanks so much for producing a Golang implementation of our HyperMinHash paper (I'm the first author) [0] and pointing me to your Hackernews post!

As an aside, we also have a prototype Python implementation [1], but your implementation looks more efficient than ours, and I may start pointing people to your Github repo too.

Google can easily prove that they don't discriminate against white men by demonstrating that their workforce is mainly white men. There obviously isn't any discrimination on that part. There is a question of whether or not Google could discriminate against conservatives, but in the case of Damore they obviously didn't because they employed him. He could claim he was fired for political action in the workplace, but that isn't protected speech so Google were not in the wrong about that.

How he can have a case?

>> Plenty of harmful things are done with C and C++ but no one is saying we should deactivate native apps written in unsafe languages

This is not in any way equivalent to browsing an informational site and having arbitrary code execute.

>> Yet the web ... is the only one on which people - erstwhile hackers - say that code should be a considered a privilege and not a right,

Hell no, code execution is a privilege in all situations! I don't just download scores of random executables and run them. Do you?

>> But pretending javascript is a second-class citizen on the web isn't the answer.

Making it one might be an improvement though. There's no way in hell I should be (to give a recent example) browsing a keyboard review and notice that my laptop now sounds like an aircraft about to take off because the site is running something unidentified as fast as it can (likely a coin miner).
The World's Largest Biometric ID System Keeps Getting Hacked
Sure, I see where the confusion might arise.

I guess most folks don't take Linkedin seriously -- my LinkedIn profile there is also outdated. When I dropped out of college to work a few years in industry, I indicated years I attended, relevant course works, and matriculation status in my resume, but, LinkedIn is just a social networking site for business -- and only recently it's transformed into a job search site. IMO, it's a stretch to say Damore's LinkedIn page was intended to mislead potential employer or the public.
Trademark only protects against trademark confusion. Meaning it only protects the owner's right to use the trademark as a unique identifier with respect to certain services and goods. I believe Disney uses Mickey for a trademark so that character may be protected to some extent. Other characters not so much. And in any case, they're only protected to the extent that Disney is the only company that can use them as unique identifiers for goods and services.

The webpage https://web.stanford.edu/~jurafsky/slp3/ links directly to the PDF, and gives context and other download options. It's not so easy to go back from the PDF to the webpage.

Everyone else: please stop linking to PDFs when there is an obvious html page to link to instead.
Beyond reverse engineering, learning assembly made me appreciate what really goes on underneath the hood of my machine while I program in a higher level language such as C or Python. If you want a more comprehensive introduction to not only assembly, but the system as a whole, I cannot recommend this book enough: Computer System's from a programmer's perspective.

Self studying that book -- along with the free video lectures[1] by the authors -- equipped me practical knowledge that's applicable as a software engineer who strives to grasp an understanding of the entire system.

I think that the touch interface of smart Phones causes a dopamine reward in the brain. So when you get a push message or likes the touching of the screen reinforces dopamine.

Observering smart phone zombies, people walking around addicted to their smart phones not aware of their local immediate surroundings.

Social media is cashing in on the most valuable assets you have friends and family selling gained information as advertising. Thus we are addicted to selling information about ourselves. We are addicted to the dopamine reward of getting likes on social media.

New Years resolution try and use cell phones less as they are addictive. So far going so so.

Bill Gates and Steve Jobs and other industry insiders probably known about the addiction. That is why their children are not given cell phones.

Cell phone interruptions probably are a cause of shorter attention spans. Short attention span are not good when solving mental problems. People are taking ADHD attention like Ritalin,Adderol deficit order medicines to cope with short attention caused by smart phones.

Instead of being with local friends and family we are on our cellphones. Instead of watching movies together we watch personal streams on Netflix.

Cell phones are addictive.
Hello from r/Drama!!
It's Never Aliens--until It Is
The movie has an awesome premise, and I enjoyed most of it.

But those two twists near the end made me really dislike the movie.
I can't lay that much blame on society. Have you tried to take care of a mentally ill person? It's common for them to make it extremely difficult. Schizophrenia often seems to cause its sufferers to be absolutely certain they are not mentally ill at all. I've walked around for hours looking for a mentally ill woman to give her a care package, only to be attacked by her a few days afterward.
Anybody here who still seriously uses ed?

I do for minor editing jobs (1-3 edits per file), but wouldn't dream of it for programming.
One possibility that came to mind when I read his post that harmonizes both your point and his data is that the studies that have been done would almost certainly have been looking at very broad effects, on very broad populations, which results in a very averaged, fuzzy view of things. That is not a criticism, because it is a priori both plausible that there will be some effect at that scale, and that there won't be, so it's a worthy test.

But it is also possible that while broadly speaking birth order doesn't have any significant effects on things, when you go out to a population as niche as "people who read SSC and like it enough to fill out a form for 15-30 minutes just because Scott asked them too" and you slice the n-dimensional space in question with that much precision, that you will get a very, very particular slice of the world in which there are birth order effects.

This would imply that there are birth order effects, but that in general they are too weak to be picked up by a general-purpose study. However, perhaps if you magnify them in such a precise way you can see them, even though they are small. "Member of the SSC community" is a very information-rich cut of the general population and it would not be a surprise to see that poking out of the stats in many other ways.

Statistics being what they are, I believe it is completely possible for both "Birth order has no significant impact on whether you will show up in SSC's community" and "Given membership within SSC's community, birth order effects can be witnessed" to be simultaneously statistically true. Previous studies showing birth order to not matter would be testing a hypothesis much closer to the first one, Scott is obviously testing the latter.

This is merely a hypothesis that is not very complicated (in Occam's Razor terms, given the fact that "everything sorta correlates to everything" is a basic fact of the world we live in and thus using that does not really count as "multiplying entities") and fits both the facts, but not one I am claiming is certain to be true. A lot more analysis would have to be done, to a degree of rigor I doubt anyone is going to perform since nobody has the full picture and the effort to obtain the full picture is likely larger than the payoff. So let it be clear that I'm just spitballing, and aware of the fact that I'm just spitballing.
Putting aside all the "mental illness/nutjob" talks that everyone likes to focus on so much, I would just wish that someone somehow would be able to connect with him and channel his genius (it is clear that he is quite good at what he does) into some project with a proper objective and guidance.

Bram Cohen has Asperger's and he could create BitTorrent which is widely used. I wonder if Terry Davis would create some game changer stuff as well if he had better support....

It is a sad situation.
I love privacy.com - I can kill the debit cards I generate and use with specific merchants when they have been exploited.
Predictive scheduling. With clients I like to let them know when "office hours" are open. So let's say you subdivide your day into blocks of time. 8-12am is set aside for actual uninterrupted work / coding. 12-2pm for lunch / long walks in nature. Then you can reserve 2-4pm for communications. My preference is actually for video chat. Delegating email to transfer design and business docs via attachment.

Since 90% of that session tends to be putting out fires and lowering their blood pressure around whatever panic they have worked themselves into that day about the project not moving forward quickly enough for their liking. Having a set time each day when you make yourself available is itself soothing and a way to instil confidence into your process.

Of course it all flies out the window during a crunch anyway ;)
According to this page, I have DNT on: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/dnt/ (How else can I confirm?)

The settings say that DNT is either always on or on when using tracking protection. So do you have tracking protection off and rely on uBlock instead? (I don't use privacy badger.)
Another side of the same coin would be that since CEO "implicitly always has access to privileged information", it is up to trader to prove legality of specific trade. Of course this is against innocent unless proven otherwise dogma, but still perfectly valid different side of the coin.

Which I find amusing. This is just one of the many places where legality of an action greatly depends on consensus and established practices, which can change overnight. For example court ruling based on implicitness of access to privileged information would effectively eliminate high ranking officers from trading altogether.
What are you talking about? Do you grasp the basic difference between a security vulnerability and a mentally ill homeless person?
Your IP history is wrong.

Patents originated in 15th Century Venice and Copyright in 17th Century Britain and trademarks in France in the (iirc) 19th Century.

Patents were, indeed, a way to encourage people to share their inventions rather than keep them as trade secrets, but this doesn't apply to copyright (rampant book piracy after the invention of the printing press) or trademark (consumer protection and counterfitting).

I have never heard of any link the the USA or second sons etc, and the way these laws developed doesn't support your hypothesis.

Thank you so so much for introducing me to Bob's work
I once worked a summer job at a state park in Western, NY. One of the employees there was a leather-skinned rough type that mostly kept to himself.

One day, I'm not sure how it was brought up, he remarked to me that he once killed a 22 year-old man in a construction accident when he was operating a large crane.

It rocked his world, and he was never the same.

I can't imagine living with that amount of regret and anxiety. Trying to fix it in your head. What could I have done differently? But it never changes, and you can't undo what you did.

At the same time, there is ultimately forgiveness from both parties, though there is a lot of grief. Things will never be the same, but staying in the past is the best way to never move forward.
How to Improve HCAHPS Score for Your Medical Practice
Pretty reasonable but inaccurate:

You sign a publishing contract with a publisher, you (and your estate so your kids) collect money from that. After the contract ends it's done. Which is reasonable in my opinion. If I die, my kids don't get my monthly payment anyway.

Since other publishers do not have the manuscript, they can take the book and write it over completely to their own publishing house but due to market lag they it's too little, to late. And if you are wondering, digital reproductions usually fall under the same rights as reproductions (e.g. playing Beethoven, you cannot reproduce that specific work while the author has been dead for years).
Keep in mind there are many other providers for Openreach FTTx (though BT retail don't cap anymore). I'm refering to BT fibre as really openreach fibre. Sky, Vodafone, etc etc all provide the service also.

But aren't "created equal", and "set up with equal conditions" two entirely different discussions? While I'd personally assume "birth order effects" if a thing would be almost entirely nurtured based, that's not what OP was saying, at least not entirely.

> The differences could be societal- perhaps first-borns are treated with more care by their parents, or they could be biological- perhaps the hormonal changes in a pregnant woman are different for each successive child, or they could be something else entirely

No one brought it up directly, but I can't help but think that some of this thread has undertones of the Damore discussion, which drives the argument from:

Societal changes we could make - to - these things (sorta kinda maybe based on pseudoscience) might not be societal and shouldn't be addressed (or at least not in the way they currently are).

I tend to be strongly in the former camp, which it sounds like you could be too. But let's not conflate those two separate conversations.

Race and gender has a profound effect on your prospects, but not in a way we can't fix.

It depends on the location I suppose.

I walk 5-6 miles a day around my neighborhood and I very rarely see plastic bags on the streets.

I mainly see crushed canned drinks, fast food wrappers and other garbage that would be left over from eating / drinking on foot or in a car. Most fast food places here use paper bags too.

This whole thread became a big "throw the baby out with the bathwater". Of course there is a long way to a secure web (if that is ever achievable), but disabling javascript is just a lazy alternative, creating a lot more nuisance than whatever damage is being done via javascript lately.

OTOH the "chain of trust" idea looks promising. And increases the responsibility on the visited website, because if it wants third party content to run javascript it'll have to host it itself.
Another example, having older brothers is one of the most consistent correlations with homosexuality for males. Birth order effects are absolutely visible.
Arrival is a great movie that I didn't enjoy. I think it's because it's a drama with a bit of sci-fi. And the movie explains "the thing" way too much. I felt it thought I was stupid.
Odyssey is what we just started playing, the two player is perfect because he can just control the hat, and we work together. He's just never played many video games before, apart from some Roblox. Lego is what I probably should have gotten. I bought the Pokemon game because he liked the fighting, but there's way more to it than I thought.
I need a voice activity detection module (VAD) for my wearable computer. Should I roll my own, or use someone else's (open-source). My immediate need is speaker-dependent (just me), but it would be nice if I could offer up a speaker-independent version eventually.
The landlord is allowed to ask for whatever price they want. After signing the lease, if the landlord has made an illegal rent increase, the tenant can ask for a hearing before the Housing Authority (Régie de Logement). In the hearing, a judge will reduce the rent retroactively to the maximum allowed increase.

If a tenant refuses to pay a rent increase, the landlord may apply for a hearing before the Housing Authority to have the tenant evicted, but the judge will take the illegality of the rent increase into consideration before giving permission to evict.

I've read through a lot of Terry's posts on 8chan and his rants that got him banned from a few websites. He's totally fucked but a genius. I've tried TempleOS. It made my brain hurt to look at it and it really wasn't intuitive in any way at all. I like the concept of the OS, a full OS where everything is in the same memory space. But, it's way too annoying to really play with anything in TempleOS.

Unless these embedded CPU run third party code, they aren't really vulnerable. This is more of a general computing problem.
It sounds completely reasonable. The work should move in to the public domain. Then everyone benefits, including your heirs.
You have to feel terribly sad for everyone involved here. The only place the blame can rest is humanity's desire to mix very fast, solid vehicles with very slow, squishy pedestrians in the same spaces. We're way too far down that rabbit-hole to address it, but hopefully self-driving cars (and less polluting cars, too) will start to reverse the damage done by the automobile, in the not-too distant future.
There's a wonderful collection of US maps including historical, geologic, thematic and minute/degree over at the USGS Store[1]. There also really cheap to order/ship. I bought six maps of the Louisiana area (including one that was ~50 inches wide!) for a total of about 25 USD.

He won this stage of a fight because the prosecution acted like drunken sailors in a dive bar, except that it was not a dive bar but Eleven Madison Park. It is unclear and highly debatable if, should the government appeal the order, the order would stand

What we do have here, however, is a yet another example why it is important for both sides not to be so convinced that the other side does not have a chance - we saw it with Democrats being absolutely convinced that Trump would be destroyed in the general election and now we see this.
But it's the correct commitment. Mexico is a Mafia State. A country that has a government that is deeply intertwined with organized crime: the government IS essentially the drug cartels. You can criticize the United States, but you'll have a tough time convincing any rational person that obtaining autonomous control over a region in the US (via Bookchinist route or not) is somehow equivalent to what's going on in a Mafia State with regions obtaining autonomy to escape it.

>restore those stalls and inefficiencies as the way things are when you don't use those strange data structures, right

No, a stall is only a thing because branch prediction exists. Get rid of it and I can go back to not caring about the deep underlying architecture of the hardware I may potentially be running on. And not doing branch prediction isn't inefficient... that's a bizare statement. Branch prediction and speculative execution are themselves inefficiencies (i.e. spending power to do things that will turn out to not be needed fairly often).

>the naive implementation would be the best implementation

Not the naive implementation. A well thought out, developed implementation that is defeated by deep hardware details. The promise of high level languages was always to avoid having to know these sorts of details. In designing an algorithm I should be worried about things like how often I access data (e.g. can I cut down on how many accesses with some clever structure?) and the like. Now that's all trumped by deeply knowing the low level implementation.

If they had ever released it as a general purpose computer instead of a locked down game console people could've experimented with it enough to unlock its full potential.

If they were smart they'd dust off the old chips, throw them on a RasberryPi type system and laugh all the way to the bank.
That’s not selection bias, that’s a functioning marketplace. Something is worth what someone will pay for it. If demand is increasing, prices increase.
Well written - it shares a glimpse of the grief of an accidental death and the impact on two families.

This is but a small glimpse of what many soldiers suffer ('shellshock') after being required to deliberately kill.

The relevant factor in short term asset holds is transaction costs. Whether you're buying stocks or houses. If you can account for them and make a profit anyway, you're making money. Generally you need a market edge to lean on.

But at the end of the day it's hustling in a zero-sum market. Holding on to your edge requires work. And doing the deals requires work. Not something you want to make a career out of if you value your sanity or free time.
