I would tentatively shift the focus on age groups.

I believe (maybe wrongly, raise your hand if you never did this) that any (male) kid in - say the 10-14 age range has made some "harassment", possibly of sexual nature, toward females (not necessarily of the same age group).

Once they were "jokes" or "pranks" on the phone (of very dubious humour but that amused the kids a lot).

I am not particularly surprised that on the internet, a new media where the kids have the same basic "protections" (anonimity and no need to show their appearances) the "tradition" continues.
Did you speak to the people in question or are you just speculating on the reason for their behaviour?
On the other hand, for the longest time both DC and Chicago virtually banned guns and yet had atrocious violent crime rates.
I don't know if it's true, but I've heard that some ISPs route your entire traffic through their machines. They even have access to your IP packets. Very shady!
scummy often by law, if it was up to many ISPs, like in the early days of the internet, they only cared if you paid your monthly bill.
Well, if it will support the DOM I believe it will support any web API(i.e. including websockets)
Remember, the TR-069 traffic starts at your device, and terminates at their end, it's not making it out onto the public internet, it's entirely within the ISP network.

That's not to say it still shouldn't be encrypted, but with a FTTH connection using a PON network there's already physical layer encryption going on typically, otherwise a custom configured ONT could snoop on other peoples traffic on the same segment.
ZeroCater Is Hiring a Director of Engineering in SF: Foodies Welcome
Personally I very much agree that using a vpn service for all your traffic is probably not a good idea. As well as other objections, some have been confirmed to sell fine grain traffic information, and may have an easier time justifying that as it is arguably anonymised.

That said, if you set up your own vpn on a digital ocean node, moving your network boundary to the datacentre, then the cloud hosting companies network that you end up trusting is less likely to be set up to spy on you then a consumer isp.

I get bad speed though when I do this. The processibg speed required to encrypt a connection at 300mbps just isn't there in my router.
Decentralisation in Bitcoin and Ethereum networks
Quite depressing. I wonder what would happen if they eliminated all pictures.
But where do you draw the line between offering genuine convenience for the end user and UX tricks? Is underlining a link unethical because it's giving undue weight to highlight an action you want the user to notice? (I know, reductio ad absurdum, but I think it's valid to point out personal interpretation of ethics can be stretched beyond usefulness).

That's more of a rhetorical point - I don't believe most things related to "morality" can ever be as clear as black/white, ethical/unethical, and think it muddies waters to assert it does.

Considered design does not always exactly equal purer-than-pure ethical design.
Node and React/Redux, both with TypeScript. Starting to wish I'd learned PureScript so I didn't have to make do with Ramda for scaling.
I like to think of it as making up for the fact that there isn't any other place someone that doesn't want to be part of the current status quo can just say "I've had it, I'm going off on my own way".

All the land is taken, owned, and occupied; and all of the best places for starting your own settlement were /long/ ago occupied, let alone the marginal ones.

I don't want to do any of the above, but having that /option/ gave a default alternative to being an employee and thus meant that there had to be actual benefit in such a relationship.
This isn't an issue if you're not using the ISP equipment, or put the ISP equipment into a bridge modem mode.

For instance, BT in the UK do the same reporting over TR-069 if you use their home hub - however - if you connect a different VDSL modem/router you can disable TR-069, and if you use a dedicated VDSL modem in bridged mode and a wireless router behind that there's no TR-069 to worry about in the first place.
Thanks, this was just a quick fix though, a userscript that puts the button back where it was would be better.

total bullshit. jquery and react are very very different
There was a good talk at NIPS this year about the difficulty of reproducing results and benchmarking in RL. In supervised learning you can easily compare results on standard datasets. In RL though, once the actions of two policies diverge, you're at the whim of the PRNG. Even with the same random seeds, gradient descent hyperparameters, etc., it is not possible to meaningfully compare two policies with a single training run. Even if you hold everything else constant, random seed had a huge effect. Ideally papers would show aggregated data over 100 runs for each setup, but RL is too computationally expensive for that.

It is frustrating, but also exciting because the field had so many open problems.

On other hand, it really sucks that those with the 1000 machine cluster have such a huge advantage over smaller labs.

OpenSCHUFA – Reverse-engineering the algorithm of the German credit score agency
Ignoring someone in the street is not a rude rejection.

The US elects a lot of people that are great at giving lip-service in front of the camera and at sucking down the not-quite actual bribes in back rooms.

Naturally they don't do budgets the rational way: by writing in the funding at the same time that the actual law/regulation is being enacted. I really don't understand how's it's feasible to pass such unfunded mandates. If something costs more it should be clearly added, hopefully with limits or automatic scaling (in the case of something like say, requiring that every X see a 'full' response (E.G. natural disasters, murders, etc).

When applying for a loan, mobile phone contract, or even trying to rent an apartment in Germany, the Schufa score - Germany's credit rating - is decisive. If you have a few "points" too little, your application is refused. (Computer says "No" to your new smartphone or apartment.) However, the calculation of these credit scores - done by the private Schufa company - is fully intransparent. The formula is a trade secret, and as such not open to the public.

We want to change this intransparency with the project OpenSCHUFA. Open Knowledge Foundation together with AlgorithmWatch want to reconstruct the Schufa algorithm with "reverse engineering".
Never mind, I tested it on Firefox, it sucks. Will fix, thanks for reporting.
> I truly want to believe in a UBI in some form, but I find the language of "entrepreneurial idea[s]" to be a little repulsive.

I agree. I mean, it would certainly enable some people to become entrepreneurs, and that's awesome! But it shouldn't be phrased in a way that people feel forced to become entrepreneurs, and feel worthless if they don't manage to. (That's one of the problems with unemployment "benefits" in many places, which are tied to pressure to find a job, any job, and lose the "benefits" if you "succeed". No wonder many people crack under this pressure and become depressed alcoholics.)

The same goes for worries a UBI might decrease "employment". Um, yes? If there were a UBI I could live off, I might well drop my job and do research/develop free software full time. That would be a decrease in employment but quite possibly a net win for society.

We need to stop viewing everything through the lens of (paid) work ethics.

It's interesting to me that, instead of internalizing what people are saying, you argue with them. If you're that convinced that your market is big enough, fucking build it.

It's even more interesting that as soon as someone gave you an actionable way to create this using existing services (a browser extension), you jumped on it because of privacy/security.

When you're looking at preferences, the range is absolutely immense. Tagging an apartment as having "a view" does not mean that that view will be of what you want. The alternative is using a degree of ML or perhaps AI to learn what kind of view you find pleasing and tailor suggestions to you. Yet, this alternative is worse for privacy than a browser extension and building it would be obscenely expensive so you'd need some hope of going after a big market to make it worth it.
The original title before the admins changed it was "Your ISP is Probably Spying On You", and you wrote:

> well, who isn't?

I can understand that we all get weary from the constant news of yet another privacy intrusion, surveillance method being discovered, or new government law eroding privacy. But why be dismissive? When Snowden revealed what he knew, it confirmed what I had already suspected. But I didn't go and say, "well of course, we all knew that we were being illegally spied on us". I thought that getting the specific information was very important.
To be fair, I'm not sure if Windows alone is to blame in this case.

If you're not familiar with Windows and try to clean a PC that isn't yours, it's probably hard to tell what was user installed, what was pre-installed by the manufacturers (they love to include bloatware and unnecessary "tools") and what actually came with Windows.

It's very easy for unaware users to install all sorts of crap and they never know where it came from or what it does - that's basically every PC of a non-tech-savvy user ever.
Hopefully flow typing will be next. It's a really cool idea and I'm surprised it hasn't caught on more.

There's nothing weird about them per se, it's just that the UK really has no reason to build one.

It's simply a way of taking a country's wealth and instead of spending it on infrastructure, public services, industry or welfare - it gets spent on assets (usually foreign).

The good parts:

* It lets a small country (e.g. Singapore) exert a stabilizing influence on its economy when it is buffeted by large external economic forces outside of its control.

* It lets a country that has natural resources (e.g. Norway) both A) set some of that wealth aside for the future and B) mitigate the massively damaging effects of dutch disease (a seriously underrated economic effect). This is termed "sterilization".

The bad parts:

* If you buy overseas assets they can be seized. I think this is why Venezuela isn't really capable of building a sovereign wealth fund. If they bought a shopping mall in New York state 10 years ago with their oil wealth it is likely it would simply have been seized.

* If you're putting money into a sovereign wealth fund you're not spending it on the welfare of your citizens. I used to live in Singapore and the contrast between the way it treated its poorest citizens and the amount of money pushed into Temasek is disgusting and shameful.

* Sovereign wealth funds attract corruption like flies on shit and the management of it is where the principal/agent problem reaches its nadir because it's so easy to surreptitiously suck wealth out if you exert control or influence over it. I think Norway's is probably the only sovereign wealth fund in the world that is free from corruption. Even then I wonder.

Since the UK is not a small economy and can absorb external shocks more easily than Singapore and it's not going to suffer from dutch disease what's the point? Creating yet another entry point for financial parasites in the City of London to extract taxpayer wealth?
It's a BS statement.

More likely the fund will be squandered (if cash). If it's in the form of a voucher, it will be ignored.

But let's say every low skilled worker actually wanted to become a skilled-worker, then who will perform the low skilled work?

I read the "two annual £5,000 dividends" as getting 5000 every six months.

Instead, you get 5000 in one year and 5000 in the next.
Like OP said, this isn't universal, it is only temporary and it's not 10000 a year but 5000 a year.
I think the point is that Google (Youtube) didn't delete the video while Facebook has complied with government's request. And it is not the first time Facebook is doing this - earlier they blocked a page for unapproved protest rally [1].

Your last paragraph is totally correct, in my opinion.

(It is probably also true that many people who use "racist" insults are not really being "racist"; they are just insulting in an effective, target-specific way. If they couldn't come up with a racist insult, but the target has glasses, they'd probably resort to "four-eyes". I'm talking about the UK here, by the way.)
The daily newspaper has stories that are interesting because they aren't happening to nearly everyone. They give people a very skewed impression of how likely they are to happen to them.

The newspaper rarely bothers to write stories about things that are likely to happen to you, like dying from a hospital mistake, car crash or a drowning.

The risk of dying in a terrorist incident in the US is essentially zero, but you'd never know that from the flood of newspaper stories about it.

"We're changing this to comply with a court order / settlement." seems fine to me. I don't think anyone would be angry at them, since they didn't want to do the change nor would be "lying" to users about why they do it.
Several friends of mine and a family member get disability benefits and the assessment process is horrendous. We've encountered lots of variants of "if you're able to attend this interview there can't be anything wrong which would prevent you from getting a job, so no money for you".
When you break it down that way it's a less strong correlation, but tends to support a model based on 'network effects' (opportunity) and/or social pressures (density).

It would be really interesting to slice things and compare relative rates for neighborhood level housing density, poverty/affluence, and education.

As a potential control study though, I'd like to propose focusing on quality of housing and 'tranquility' factors. How well does that housing prevent problematic interaction? (Noisy / smelly (air pollution of various kinds) / resource conflicts) My hypothesis is that higher quality housing and housing codes can contribute to decreasing stress. The need to build more housing to fulfill the more lofty living requirements would also have a positive effect on the affordability of housing (and naturally for the experiment would need to be targeted across all levels of need). Of course to eliminate the effect of housing merely being new at least some units would have to be new but built to the existing standard's minimums rather than the study's re-defined minimums.
The flood of stories only tells me "We want the power these organizations wield" to have everyone walking on eggshells and start a rioting mob towards anyone not paying respect to the social priest caste.

- S3
Compound interest is not, in fact, magic - the money has to come from somewhere. The safest investment is government bonds, in which case it literally comes out of future tax payments. Alternatively, you can invest in corporate bonds and stocks, in which case - in the current economic climate at least - you're providing economic stimulus that pumps the bubble a little higher and drives down long-term returns for everyone else who's looking to retire in the future.
I would say that's a problem with video (or a live lecture), not with a book. Books give you all the time in the world to pause and reflect.
