What could CNN possibly write about a company relating to their advertising on InfoWars content that would outweigh the very real $$ savings now that there are less competitors to advertise to InfoWars's massive audience?

This is good news for any firm who just wants as many people as possible to see their ads, and I suspect this consequentially won't mean any real loss (and potentially a gain as other firms rush to fill the void) for InfoWars.

The way I see it, CNN only managed to scare off these big firms because the specific employees who manage their Youtube advertising campaigns were scared the (very real) possibility of being fired because a nasty article might reflect badly on their firm and would "tarnish the brand" or some other such intangible reasoning.

Having worked in a lot of shady businesses. I'd like to see the book that shows how most every company is pulling some really borderline (if not completely) illegal and unethical dealings to get ahead.

My first job as an auditor really opened my eyes (did some M&A work that blew my mind at the shit companies would try). Funny thing is the company I worked for (Andersen) got killed by their own shady dealings!

>What message? Impotent rage against "the establishment" isn't a message, it has no goal but catharsis.

I'm not sure if "What message?" is willful ignorance or disdain for the platform, but it's surely not a useful rhetorical device, if you are unable or unwilling to go look at Trump's campaign promises and try to understand why people might want the things he promised, it's not worthwhile for you to try to engage in a debate about it.
> The problem is that it’s stagnanted over here. NAFTA destroyed the way of life for a lot of mid-westneners.

Neoliberal international trade without adequate internal redistribution of gains (which was going on long before NAFTA, though NAFTA was a particular example) broadly was doing that for quite a long time, but the problem is.more on the lack of redistribution end than the open trade end (you do want to avoid a race to the bottom on labor, environmental, etc., standards, but in aggregate terms trade is a net gain and losing that gain without doing anything about internal distribution isn't going to do many people any good — as Trump's tarriffs may soon demonstrate tangibly.)

> Everyone here, everyone sees that value and importance of education.

That might be true of your neighborhood; it's clearly not generally true as demonstrated by the outcomes of elections in the Midwest at every level.

Sure, economic dislocation and it's side effects may be why culture war topics leveraging cultural resentment directed both at “coastal elites” and both higher education and the people that have it is a winning way for local elites to line up political support between policies they feather their own nests.

I wrote this a little over a year ago, and honestly at the time I wasn't even aware of Pony. However, I am now and will likely revisit this chapter sometime this year as part of work to get this book to some finished state.

Not sure whether or not Pony will make it in, but I will definitely think about it more. It is really interesting to see a new actor-model language being developed. I also see that there have been a couple of papers written about Pony, which is a good sign. Definitely on my radar for the future, but I still need to learn more about it.

I wonder about the exercise thing. For the past few years, I've exercised fairly frequently. And, yet, I still struggle with feelings of loneliness and depression. I think exercise helps a little but maybe less than people like to imagine. As you imply with your other points, you probably have to address loneliness on multiple fronts in order to have a lasting impact on it.
>Sorry if I sound rude...I don't intend it. It's just so hard to hear the same "just get a hobby" or "just make friends online" or "you must just be doing it wrong since it works for me" stuff repeatedly. If it were something that worked for me I'd be doing it because this life is pure misery for me from most all angles.

I have found it enlightening to try to view fiscal and relational matters with the lens of the other. Imagine if I made a post telling a poor individual that they should "just go learn some job skills", "learn to code", or "they must be doing it wrong because I've found it easy to get a decent job". Such a post would be viewed as profane. Being a libertarian on fiscal matters gets me labeled as heartless, yet I find libertarian is the best approximate description of the system everyone operates on with regards to relational matters. I've heard many people describe the libertarian approach to helping others as "I've got mine, F you", which is the way I feel treated as a 'socially poor' person. To even bring up the topic of relationship resources/needs being unequal has gotten me some very negative labels in other online communities.
I see this as one of the most fundamental problems the next generation will need to face. How do we build better models to give access to wealth creation outside a small number of highly leveraged technology companies to a wider group of society? Recent trends in the gig economy, AI, and medicine make me worry more we are slipping toward a super asymmetrical world like Gattica or Altered Carbon -- which is not the world we should want to live in. We should want to preserve a strong path to the American middle class for everyone.

Despite the hype, I'm bullish on cryptocurrency tokens on potentially being a model of a more equitable design for firm returns. If done correctly, the returns of firms could go to the early participants in the network, instead of the VCs and early accredited investors that have special access. The ICO world today isn't there yet (a lot of pre-sale discount tokens to those privileged VCs; lots of ICOs aimed at the larger public are scams, and it's hard to tell the difference between them) but I think we have the tools to create more equitable models, if we only have the will.
I'm fairly certain that the name of the project is tongue-in-cheek; it's not uncommon to use "${X} good" as a comedic expression of poor English. For example, "I done code good."
> Even so, if the camera can be made stable, then so surely too can a mirror.

I don't think it makes sense to look at it as a binary of stable or not stable: the camera can be made stable to a certain degree, and the mirror introduces additional instability (even if just stochastically). I could understand wanting to minimize that.
Writing improves from improved comprehension resulting from increased reading, writing, conversation.

So, make sure you are getting better at understanding the needs of the user and communicating them.

It's not a full-blown rewrite, but it's not just spin up new infrastructure and run it over here either. We're receiving Zagat specific code, but there are significant gaps from missing Google dependencies and data that need to be filled.

I guess that's subjective. I would have like to seen more proof to back up the argument.

The author provides proof that the Netflix startup story is about "rental fees" a long time ago. But then fails to provide any evidence that is not true.

The author then switches to Walmart to prove that founder stories are not true, but doesn't provide any evidence that people claim Walmart was an overnight success. Overall it's a bad article in my opinion.
I'm glad about this. When Google bought Zagat, they basically sat on it for a few years, batted it around a little, and let it go. It's lost a lot of its positive reputation. I'm glad to have it be in better hands.
Nicely done! Looking forward to the pluggable storage engine.
I don't get the long life of war vets either, my great grandfather was gassed twice in WWI and caught malaria fighting in Turkey yet lived until he was 99yrs old, didn't stop driving until he was 93.Most of his regiment lived well into their 80s and 90s as well he wrote to most of them his whole life.
It's worth mentioning that this isn't the only way to do distributed programming. Dataflow programming works quite well, and the newest state of the art systems are exploring ways to generate dataflow parallelism implicitly from sequential programs. See e.g. Legion from Stanford:

http://legion.stanford.edu/

In my personal opinion, message passing is going to be considered an evolutionary dead-end in the long term, and these sorts of more intuitive programming models based on generating dataflow graphs automatically will become more dominant.

Disclaimer: I work on Legion.
As of the time of writing, the headline was,

Why throw away something proven to run at massive scale, that you understand and trust for something that's new, has never been run at that scale, and you have no experience running? If you have a team of software engineers, and the latency problem is a software problem, fix the software problem.

When you already know Cassandra, and you already know RocksDB, and you already have an engineering team, it makes far more sense to combine the two things you know how to use at scale than to try to use some new thing NOBODY has run at scale.
A preposition is a very bad word to end a sentence with.

But only a fool would begin or end a sentence with the word but.

And only a total idiot would begin or end a sentence with the word and.

Anyway, you should never use the word 'anyway'. Even worser to use 'anyways'.

And never utilize the word 'utilize' when you could utilize the word 'use' instead.

Your doing it wrong if you're sentences confuse the words your and you're.

There are two many people doing it wrong too get to upset about confusion over to, too and two.

Nah, then it's pretty simple. My rebuttal is that I think "programming languages that programmers actually want to use"
(besides still being a debatable claim) is an insignificant metric. The industry doesn't pay for what you want to use.

I would also strongly recommend not using Gmail. Google sifts through your e-mails, which compromises a cornerstone of your digital identity. People needing to send you an e-mail will also seldomly appreciate their e-mail being read by Google.

To answer your question, though, if you live in the EU, then the GDPR, due to be enforced on the 25th of May, does make this practise of Google most definitely illegal. So, in like two years from now, when the lawsuit regarding this concludes and Google is actually forced to follow the law, then you should be able to.

If you still cannot be convinced to drop Gmail, there might be a technical solution to your problem, too.

For Firefox, there's an official extension called Multi-Account Containers, which allows you to have different sets of Cookies in different groups of tabs. And you can tell it to always open certain webpages in certain containers.

So, you would install the extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account...

Then click the new Multi-Account Container button in the toolbar and from there open a new tab in a Container (you can also create a Container specifically for this, if you want).

Then in this new tab, open up Gmail and log in, and again click the Multi-Account Container button in the toolbar and tick "Always open this website in ...".

Finally, open up a new (non-Container) tab and log out from Google there.

What seems really interesting is that not only are culturally ingrained beliefs hard to unseat, but it seems that if they are ultimately unseated, if something resembles the old beliefs it will be immediately dismissed by the new ingrained beliefs. Being close minded is ultimately the root cause of the failures in both scenarios.

That puts you about 2/3rds of the way down the list of things to try. You're before all the products that have no evaluation license at all, but after all the open source options that developers can test at their leisure.

If I'm trying a products evaluation license, you can be sure I've tried literally every other option under the sun first, including investigating the possibility rolling my own if situationally appropriate. No form of development is slower than the kind where I have to wait for a company in another timezone to give me permission to use their software, so it's always last on my options list unless the company has frankly amazing reviews that pique my curiosity.

You’re right. It could have been more nuanced about the HPV eradication. Still, if only 1/1000 cervical cancers have other etiologies, that does take them out of the most common cancers and make them rare. As a broad public health concern, it will be pretty close to eradicated.

And yes, no cancer can be eradicated, ever. Life finds a way.
Ditching SMS 2FA normally means replacing it with some other 2FA mechanism (e.g. TOTP and/or U2F). Which is a good idea. I don't think anyone (except for some possible edge cases) are removing SMS 2FA leaving no 2FA options at all.

Also, it all depends on threat model. Rarely, but sometimes, when user's anonymity/pseudonimity is at stake - SMS can be a security risk. I think there was at least one service that had only SMS 2FA for which I've decided to not opt in just because I didn't want to provide that service with my contact information beyond what I already gave them. Not like that was a security issue - more like a privacy/spam one in my case, but I can imagine cases where user's identity is actually a security issue.
I've heard Privacy Badger (connected with the EFF) is a good one as well.
Thanks both for the reply. Is the Aluminimum oxide forming part of a thermite style reaction then?
I wish websites would support 2 factor auth via a client side TLS certficate along with a username and password login.

Email and SMS based 2FA shouldn't be the only choices.
Thanks for pointing this out. I've never heard of Vert.x, but I will check it out and see if it seems worth including when I revisit this chapter in the future.
"Can you tell if "your favorite SF novel" represents good writing without having a grasp on what constitutes good writing to begin with?"

I think for the purposes at hand, you don't need any expertise in writing to tell whether you want to write short emails with some stuff lifted from a given author.

The larger structural aspects of writing a good novel are overlooked by a lot of people, and a lot of people will declare someone a "good author" when every character in their stories are an author stand-in, things appear and disappear for no reason, there is no symbolic or mythic resonance in the story, and every other major structural error that can be made, simply because they like the sentence-by-sentence style of the author or the author has snappy wordplay that they like. That taste is more rare, but also only slightly relevant to the question of whether you can write a 500-word email to the executive team about how important it is to not cut your project.

0.1% is pretty good as far as headline exaggerations go.
The conversations are actually anonymous between translator and refugee/aid worker. All we provide is their first name (so it's clear they're talking to a person instead of the application). So there is no way for the two parties to know anything about each other except what they willingly provide (no full names, no locations, no phone numbers - we actually route calls through our own Tarjimly operated numbers).

Most of the lawyers using Tarjimly censor the PII (personal identifying information) themselves either by covering those parts of documents or omitting them in conversations, which does the trick most of the time. Generally, these nonprofit lawyers are so strained for resources they're excited to use something over nothing to help them do their job.

We wanted to get something available quickly, which is why we started with Messenger and that's made on-boarding incredibly easy, but security is proving to be more and more important. We're going to see if the WhatsApp API will be end-to-end encrypted and we're in the design phase of our own mobile app to create an even better experience (especially for calling where Messenger is being difficult).

There are increasing numbers of lonely people, and loneliness causes severe health problems, reducing quality and length of life.

All that's missing from the normal definition of epidemic is the element of contagion.
