What are/were “Enterprise zones”, “Empowerment Zones”, “Renewal Communities”, and “Enterprise Communities” in the US, then, if not government-created special economic areas?
I've never heard of that one. I'm curious, when was that roughly?
Histeria is great for getting eye balls to your content. The newspapers are running with it. I also don't see how it's Strava's fault or even that serious (these places are far from secret with all the satellites nowadays).

How is what you are describing any different from sponsored tweets?
These history changing works come from very small groups of people within the company, who usually only stick around when the environment enables their work to thrive. Oftentimes, a single fantastic key manager who protected all the engineers/designers/researchers from infighting/politics/etc. leaving is enough to completely obliterate that team, and kill any chances the company had at replicating the successes the group built up.

Alan Kay said it best:

"I don’t run CDG, I visit it. [Xerox PARC founder Robert] Taylor didn’t want to hire anyone who needed to be managed. That’s not the way it works. I have people on my list who are already moving in great directions, according to their own inner visions. I didn’t have to explain to these people what they would be working on, because they already are."

So there really are two prerequisite things to great innovation:

- populating your group with people who are at the very top of their game

- finding someone with the right balance of hard/soft skills needed to both be respected by these brilliant researchers, and to act as an interface between them and the rest of the company politics/bureaucracy/etc (for a startup, that'd be investors/boardmembers/etc.) and make sure they stay on track.

Each of these things is crazy hard, and accomplishing both is exponentially so. Which is why these brilliant teams only appear every once in a while, and even then are still likely to fail.
I find it interesting that a lot of people seem to feel that this isn't Strava's fault, but the fault of the users who didn't manage their privacy settings correctly. Having done a lot recently related to GDPR in the EU I've been coming around to the way of thinking that has influenced this law.

We as technologists need to start taking some responsibility for our users privacy. Firstly, just because you can collect the data doesn't mean you should. There is this general idea that we should collect and store as much data as we can, just in case we can find a use for it. The problem is that firstly even if we claim to be only using/exposing 'anonymised' data, as this Strava situation shows, it is very hard to truly anonymise data. Secondly, the raw data is still stored somewhere and in the event of a data breach it doesn't matter what a users privacy setting was if you were still collecting and storing the data.
unfortunately this will make you stand out more, probably

Can he not say "stupid" either because it's derogatory to stupid people? How about "bad", is that derogatory to bad people e.g. criminals?

If it's not direct _at someone or some group_ and is not intended to belittle them for e.g. actually being mentally retarded, then it's harmless.

We put too much emphasis on words and too little on intent.
Agreed. I've always enjoyed and found great value in Facebook, which was helped by the fact that I was in college when it launched so everyone I knew back then was on it, and everyone I know today is on it (minus 2 or 3 holdouts).

I was getting frustrated with all the junk, but still used it regularly.

Now when I get that dopamine craving and am flipping through app screens on my phone looking for something novel, I often completely forget that Facebook is even there.

The changes they made are absolutely in the direction I want them to go, but perhaps it's too late?
On the other hand, your description bears a strong resemblance to Twitter. If you have a conversation with someone through replies, anyone who follows both of you will see it in their timeline, and by default, anyone can read it by going to either of your profiles. So it’s not uncommon to have someone you’ve never heard of jump into a conversation. And it’s easy enough to “snoop around” yourself; sometimes that can be a source of genuine new acquaintances, and with time, friendships. (There’s an etiquette to it, though. If you don’t know someone, you should only butt in to their conversations if you have something to add - not because, say, you disagree with a political statement they’re making, or at the very least, certainly not if you’re planning to hurl insults!)

Unfortunately, some people and some topics tend to attract a lot of those sorts of uninvited rebuttals - in other words, harassment - driving some to make their accounts private. In that case, only approved followers can see your tweets, ever. There’s no “friends of friends”-like middle ground, or any other more flexible filtering options.

On the other hand, for most people, Twitter’s system seems to work pretty well. It works for me, and I really enjoy the spontaneity of it.

Because the relevant parts of the CDA and COPA were struck down by the courts. Doesn't change that the US did concoct laws of this type and try to enforce them.

I guess the main question is can you simply overlay stuff on top of Linux console (presumably fbcon) with DRM? That is kinda the key thing here, and the examples I've seen have always just done full-screen stuff.
Thank you for this feedback. We have a "demo account" on our roadmap which will make it easier for visitors to play around with the app without any signups. But I hope you give it a spin and let us know what you think. thanks again.
And then you get people like me, where "I like being ignored" is not sarcasm, but a commentary/personality preference related to disliking a cultures obsession with fame and popularity and struggling to think of anything worse than being recognised/constantly under surveillance.

As you said, context is everything. It is literally impossible to detect sarcasm reliably with only the sentence in which sarcasm is contained.
Thanks! Sounds like a fun project.
the person replying is using it in the second sense.

When I first started comparing Mercurial and Git, the built-in `hg serve` command that showed a repo view in the browser seemed like a killer feature. Machines running `hg serve` could even be pulled from across the network without any setup.

I mean, git had tools that could do that too, but built-in! Then I discovered GitHub.
> They must be short (<=100 lines), and if their complexity exceeds a certain threshold then a shell script is no longer acceptable regardless of length.

Well, the question is: what do you use as a replacement? For my scripts I tend to pull in some version of PHP as soon as needed. Perl is something that's universally available in anything based on Debian or Ubuntu, but it's a maintenance nightmare, and PHP doesn't care whether I use spaces, tabs or a mixture, or if there are due to any circumstances mixed line endings in a file whereas Python may or may not barf on encountering any of said things...
Tried it, didn't care for it. May work for some.

(Personally, I'm loving Missive - https://missiveapp.com/ - which seems targeted at a similar niche and has some very slick execution.)

There does not exist a world where this is still playing the game for me. This sport should be called "hack run" and be considered different from traditional playing the game.

When I play the game with friends and family the skill is in using to the best of our ability the naturally perceived rules of the game.

Using your controller to input bits of data directly into the memory using a bug in the software is completely different sport.

This is a post where people get upset about access to porn being restricted. Calling out offensive language probably isn't a winning move here.

You have that now! Just stop giving your data to companies you don't want to have it.

The people who never give their data away wonder at the people who give their data away, then call for regulation.
Your iPhone Slowed Down. Here’s What to Do When the Solution Is Just as Slow
A society that actually believes it needs these measures is in serious trouble. None of this crap is going to work. And why would it?

Pretty much all boys got their hands on porn when I was a kid, and it seemed to have no bearing on how we grew up. There's porn addiction and all that, but there's a lot that goes into what defines an addiction(and alcohol is legal, so...), and some of the boys I knew who watched the most porn grew up to earn six figures or more in prestigious fields.

A child who is viewing porn online is almost definitely seeking it out, and if that's true, they will circumvent almost any of these truly laughable attempts to shield children on the internet.

At best, you might be able to instantiate laws around porn in advertisements. But good luck preventing kids from watching porn. If anything, age walls will make porn more exciting to watch because it makes it forbidden.

The stupidity of adults never fails to astound me. COPPA made me laugh when I was a kid, and still does.

I don't know why you're being downvoted. It's true that GB accepts far more invasive policies, including mass surveillance that exceeds the United States.
Worse yet, do you know how frustrating it is to be told that there are no more updates available while you know that you a missing life events from friends that actually posted them.

After a while you realize that there is no point in posting your own because they will similarly not show up for friends.

Cutting back on FB has become ever easier over time.
I am sure that your prolonged exposure to these farm animals has given you valuable insights into the nature of these animals. But I think you'd agree that informal observation has serious epistemological shortcomings. (I presume from what you wrote you did not engage in rigorous scientific observation of these animals.)

Personally, I've spent essentially no time around farm animals, but from what I understand about the scientific work in the area it seems likely that many farm animals have quite sophisticated minds. One review of experimental findings in pig intelligence[1] claims that "pigs possess complex ethological traits similar, but not identical, to dogs and chimpanzees".

I don't think they're publicizing this for dramatic effect - just that they are painfully careless with the data that they keep. Whether the tools are useful and whether people want to use them carelessly isn't the point. A bit (a lot) more discretion would be appreciated from Strava.

As far as I'm concerned, this is an industry norm, so my problem isn't so much with Strava, but the dangerous cultures that surround massive data collection operations.

> These myths are popular, in my experience they are not true.

I am speaking from personal experience. I've run my own mail server for about 15 years.

A few months I had to publicly complain on twitter about Microsoft blocking my email in order to get them to stop putting my email in the spam folder (after having to move to a new IP). Their support people before I publicly complained just kept responding with a form letter with advice for commercial senders sending transactional, newsletter and marketing content.
I agree in general, but this is a service whose sole purpose is collecting route and time information about your workouts. It's a map-centric UI if you've ever used it.

Strava just wouldn't exist if they didn't collect that data, it's the core of what they do - and I want Strava to exist, it's great!

There's a problem here, but maybe it's letting people use their own pocket, sensor-enabled supercomputers in secure locations?
It sounds like we're just arguing past each other at this point.

I spent a while in the industry(and shipped some god-awful titles) so I tend to trust the people I know(and don't plan on outing them) but can understand if you don't want to take the word of a random person on the internet.
The /r/buildapc/ subreddit is depressing right now. As long as I can remember, it has always been the case that you can build a higher quality and faster computer than you can get for the same money with a pre-built.

However, there are tons of threads due to skyrocketing memory and GPU prices stating that it doesn't make sense to build right now and you can get better deals on pre-built machines.

What causes large cities to be more liberal in general?
I certainly agree, that is factually spot on. The more puritanical types in the US almost persistently attempt to do things like that, it has been a never-ending battle, only varying in seriousness, since the mid 1990s. They've rarely gotten very far with it though, mostly thanks to the extraordinary protections on speech & expression that the US has. That group's censorship efforts appear to be almost entirely stagnant or dead at present.
Seems an interesting idea, but it's implemented in Python, which means it will never replace bash and probably not achieve any significant adoption unless they rewrite it in Rust first (which they should have written it in to begin with since they started in 2016).

The reasons for that are that shells must start very quickly (due to subshells, local ssh, etc.), be fast, have no complex dependencies since they are used to recover broken systems, be portable but also with full support for OS semantics and be written in a language that allows rapid development of robust software, none of which Python does well.
Does this mean Google Wave was that far ahead of its time?
I'm not trying to imply that any given game as it currently exists would be a suitable candidate for the format. In-game puzzles would obviously benefit greatly from consideration by the authors of the input method and player environment. Dense text descriptions and really tricky minigames ordinarily expected to be presented visually don't make a perfectly smooth transition for casual, voice-enabled play, the same way that traditional WIMP desktop apps don't make for good use on mobile touch devices.

I agree. If there is an obvious privacy/sharing setting, then it's on the user to make a personal judgement and it's on the military to have a policy and educate their members. Every company offering a sharing service can't be expected to know secret locations and geofence.

Which is in effectively zero cases the phrase being used here. The vernacular usage of the word is shitty and offensive. Instead of well-actuallying about maybe he meant it in the sense of the mechanical device or or or, maybe just be a person about it and recognize that the decent thing to do is to just not get your cape on for it?

Beyond your excellent points, porn is a tremendous means for a person to discover all sorts of aspects of sexuality, both their own and the broader concept. There are so many valuable things to be exposed to sexually, and plenty of it can be difficult to explore safely or emotionally comfortably otherwise. Some will reasonably argue the obvious value to real experiences with other people, I'm not detracting value from that at all, rather I think porn is a critical compliment to sexual discovery.

I was a semi geeky teenager. My introduction to sexuality was in part courtesy of the Web. Playboy was pretty lame by comparison, even then it seemed decades out of fit culturally. The Web was a safe, comfortable way to explore what my preferences were.

So true. This was me, once upon a time. Unfortunately, it tends to have the opposite effect and push people away.
Seems like the thin edge of a thick wedge. First porn, then what next? Video games? Movies? Netflix?

It seems like another data grab. I’ve not seen the technical specification but presumably porn sites will hold on to a verification token of some sort from the government ID database, which could then be used to correlate your viewing habits (at the porn site end) to your age verification request (and thus ID, at the government end).

I imagine this will drive more and more people to use VPNs. I’ve got to assume someone involved in this has considered that. Maybe this is a prelude to banning VPNs in the UK? (“They’re only used by criminals and people trying to circumvent the age verification system”)?

It's not big in the US, I heard, but for me it's 90% WhatsApp. MySpace used to be huge, then facebook came along. I feel like Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter are slowly replacing facebook.
