Yes, it is explicit.

I took your comment to say "You have to allow access to your data if you're using OAuth, because that's how OAuth works", and wanted to argue against that. The OAuth protocol is so complicated because it tries to be safe and secure and so it doesn't force any data disclosure.
However, I now see that you probably meant "OAuth forces you to accept these permissions explicitely". In that case, we're hopefully both right :)

It's insane that we hold police to lower standards than everyone else rather than higher. We let them get away with lying and murder because a majority of society are what, too scared of dark-skinned people? Absolutely fucking insane. This situation will never change until there are real consequences. These officers should be fired, stripped of their benefits, and sent to jail with the criminals they probably lied to put in there. But they won't because as the article says, the "justice" system doesn't care. Justice my ass.
The problem is there is no real way to estimate redundancy of a real signal of specific form, or more importantly discerning between likely alias vs likely true signal given a signal with unknown statistics.
The statistical approach might work for simple clean signals but makes critical mistakes in case of complex ones.
Specifically you get to estimate true phase and true magnitude in a given subband...

Fans don't want a lottery, though. They want to be 100% sure they have a ticket to the show. It's a gratification thing.

Not everything can be 100% optimal and profit maximized. The current ticket sales method works great, if you eliminate the rent-seeking scalpers, through simple regulation.

However, ideally we should also consider it shameful to buy from scalpers. You run a high risk being scammed, they can resell the same ticket multiple times, and you have no recourse.

This is the kind of madness that YCombinator says to never do: invent a business problem merely to start a business. Trends are not problems you encounter. They are reactionary marketplace hysteria.

> I enjoy writing software. I am not going to give this up because there are a lot of insecure developers who frequently whine and cry, as frustrating as that is.

No, I mean, where do you even work where your coworkers whine and cry over your solutions? Sounds like a really shitty workplace. There are plenty of jobs writing software where this isn't the case. If you really want, there are entire categories of software development jobs where people would roll their eyes if you introduced a dependency for a 1000-line problem and rather re-invent everything, possibly finding novel ways to do it along the way. As a Javascript developer you're currently in a profession where the state of the art is to use hundreds of dependencies to scratch your earlobes, with a low enough barrier of entry that there are people making a living off of it having no idea how to use it outside Angular or React.

> The question was whether movement to cities is important because innovation is a social process. I am merely suggesting that innovation is better when not dictated by social processes therefore the whole conversation about cities is completely orthogonal.

I agree that the conversation about moving to cities is completely orthogonal. What I don't agree with is that innovation isn't a social process, "not even one bit". I think I've made this clear, and I think I've made my argument clear.

I must admit, I don't like the the use of floats/decimals/rationals in this way. They are unfit for sorting.

Say I wanted to present a list of users with their top three to-do items, that's impossible using the above method.

select
u.user, item1=i1.text, item2=i2.text, item3=i3.text
from
users u
join items i1 on i1.user = u.user and i1.pos = 1
left join items i2 on i2.user = u.user and i2.pos = 2
left join items i3 on i3.user = u.user and i3.pos = 3

Them being integers means I can rationally reason about them. I can also infer their position easily. With floats, I don't know where pos=3 is without counting how many have a lower number.

Floats only solve two issues: Making inserting easier while still being able to use `order by`. But reasoning about your data becomes a lot harder.

Yea "we've" known about it for ages. "We've" even known or suspected it well before the Snowden leaks ( 2013 ).

But the general ( non-thinking, sadly ) public really has no idea. And is ironically now catching on because the media's been cramming the whole Russian thing down their throats since the election.

On the subject of the media and general public, has anyone recently heard anything about the southern statue madness from last year, or of police shootings? No, because the general public follows whatever the media says. And forgets about whatever they said the minute they stop talking about it.

The idea is that women are severely underrepresented in STEM and that negatively influences their standard of life. It wouldn't make any sense to convince them they should be garbage collectors or miners in the same way as it makes little sense to ask men to become nurses. With STEM it's different: there are great advantages, both to women themselves and the society in general, if the proportions change.
Not all shares are the same. Corporations have different classes of stock: as a simple example there may be common stock and preferred stock.

In a "liquidity event", and especially in a "down round" where the company is bought at a lower price per share than previous investors paid, those shares are not treated the same. Preferred shares may get something from the new investment round (perhaps less than they invested), while common shares may have their value wiped out to zero.

(Source: I have been a "commoner" in a company that was bought in a down round where my stock was zeroed but the preferred shares were still worth something.)

Remember that the lowpass will change the phase or time response of the original signal. If there is anything in the frequencies and phases affected by the lowpass it will get distorted.

The trick works only because the signal is spike like. I reckon it will miss some of the spikes in real life on real signals or produce spurious spikes. The statistics are not accurate at any given point in time just in the limit.
however if you don't tell them how you encoded it, nobody would ever know. the same way it would be possible to find something that could be considered illegal by searching the right way in any large enough [random] data. so where's the barrier?

A Man Who’s Spent $70k Playing a Mobile Game
For some perspective: I’m ex-Facebook. I wouldn’t claim that Facebook are completely benign, but I think they’re getting a raw deal in this situation.

The argument that they shared too much information with third parties is a fair one. I don’t know if it was caused by naivety or apathy. But they never hid what they were doing from users. And, unlike some are claiming, they definitely didn’t sell that information.

It was Cambridge Analytica who chose to “weaponise” (their word) that data. The engineer who acted as a whistleblower is currently playing the victim but chose to participate in a morally bankrupt project.

> "I don't like the the use of floats/decimals/rationals in this way. They are unfit for sorting."

Would you elaborate on why you consider these types unfit for sorting? Their orderings are deterministic, and efficiency depends on the implementation of the indexes for those specific types, not inherent in the data types themselves.

> "select u.user, item1=i1.text, item2=i2.text, item3=i3.text"

It would be more natural in SQL to return three rows than return three columns.

SELECT u.user, i.text
FROM users AS u
JOIN items AS i USING (user)
WHERE u.user = ?
ORDER BY i.pos ASC LIMIT 3;

Why would you prefer to do it the way you describe?

Nowhere in that article there was anything about hardware-related issues. I believe, what you are talking about has to do with how HDD store db files on the disk, and how it's (much) faster to sequentially read from such disk vs. seek for every record. Hence all sort of optimizations that DBs do - like b+trees, etc. If your dataset fits in memory - it's a nonissue, the engine will never reach for the disk anyway. Even if it doesn't fit in memory (in which case I would start all optimizations by adding more memory, if possible), it's much less of an issue with SSDs. But again - article has more science-ey tone than applied/practical. In some scenarios (large dataset on HDDs) random seek may be an issue.
*.facebook.com IN CNAME .

should be unnecessary since the DNS zone above it, facebook.com is already CNAME'd. Most resolvers will take a CNAME as "any further requests go to here", which to my experience usually includes NS servers.

(This is also why you don't CNAME your root domain, CNAME conflicts with any other record type)
Apologies in advance for the oversimplification. It depends on the actual contract you signed but in general it goes like this:

VC puts in 1 dollar, you sell at 1.2, VC will take the first dollar and MAY take the next 20 cents. That could mean a liquidity preference of 1.2x. If you sold at 1.4, it COULD mean VC takes 1.2 and you split the next 20cents according to your share split with the VC.

It may be easier to think of a VC as a bank that doesn't ask you to pay back a loan every month BUT if a liquidity event occurs (i.e. someone buys your company), they absolutely want all their money back first (i.e. "senior" in debt to equity holders (you)) before you get to dip your hands in.

While Oracle keeps churning out newer Java versions, their products still use the obsolete version. Oracle ERP is notorious at my workplace for being the only app still relying on applets to work.

IT security guys go nuts over this. But Oracle is of no help. Their support team always deflect responsibility. Their defense is that product is deployed behind a corporate firewall. So, it should be safe to use.

I've been curious about what the effects are of people moving to Instagram and WhatsApp.

I'm not too familiar with the former, but am I correct in assuming it's less useful, compared to FB proper, for both ads and information gathering?

And with WhatsApp, if everything is indeed end-to-end encrypted, would this not be even more the case? Instead of a steady supply of chats, photos, location data, FB would 'only' have metadata to work with. And ads are probably not really a realistic option at all.

Unless I'm wrong about all that, I imagine the value of these two platforms is significantly lower than the original value of Facebook (to them, anyways)

Oh that’s interesting. I’ve never heard about that but I could believe it.

> Would you elaborate on why you consider these types unfit for sorting?

I should have changed that language, what I meant was that they were unfit for reasoning about your data from an isolated point of view, i.e. standing with just one row. To understand an item's position using floats, you must know the entire context.

> It would be more natural in SQL to return three rows than return three columns.

Look at my select again, yours have a specific user in mind, mine doesn't. I want a list of all users who have at least one to-do item. And I want to see their top three to-do items in the report.

Without doing sub-selects in the joins, there is no way to limit this to three when the position is stored as float. And even your sub-selects are going to be complicated.

It might be better to create a temporary table first with each user and their first three items, but that's hardly efficient.

> Why would you prefer to do it the way you describe?

Because I need an overview. And I don't want up to three rows per user, particularly because some users will only get one row, some only two and most three rows. That creates an inconsistent overview.

(And that's assuming you write some SQL to properly limit the joins to three rows.)

Sorry, but that's just one user. Assume we have 1000 users, 800 of which have at least one item in the `items` table.

Now I want a full select of those 800 users with their first three to-do items in neat columns next to the user.

Your select doesn't do that.

I agree, but I think you're stopping well short of the natural conclusion here that seems inevitable for anybody thinking more than 10 seconds about the issue.

Data is (mostly) free, ubiquitous, and permanent. When you capture data for any reason, it's logically impossible for you to be able to know or control what to what use that data will be put.

I keep seeing situations where extreme examples are used to make the case that data collection is good, healthy, and makes our world a better place. If you were kidnapped, wouldn't you want police to know where you were based on tracking associated with your cell phone? But for every one good example, the universe is literally the limit for the number of ways that same data capture can be used in bad and harmful ways.

Over my lifetime I've consumed a lot of fiction around how people interact with tech. There are a lot of good people who have instrumented up the general public in ways science fiction writers would have never dreamed of only a few decades ago. It seems to me that anybody who's watched The Matrix would think that all of this has gotta have more societal impact than more intrusive advertising.

Perhaps you're right. Perhaps even though they realized what was being captured, they never put together the deep implications, instead thinking it was just about better dancing iphone ads. I don't understand how that could be so, but people seem to have an incredible ability not to see things they don't want to see -- and they love something for nothing.

You act like the concept of bankruptcy is something lenders have no concept of. No, what would happen is that lenders would become more selective about lending. A mediocre high school student planning to get an underwater basketweaving degree for $40k a year? Yeah, probably not a good investment from a lender. And you can go the opposite direction to create equally obvious investments for lenders.

There's an even better side effect of this. There is no real and inherent reason that university prices have skyrocketed out of control. It's mostly a consequence of government removing all economic concerns for students. That of course sounds nice, but they also simultaneously removed all economic concerns from universities who can, and do, charge arbitrarily large sums and justify it by increasingly reckless spending. This a recurring problem when messing with the market - we create unforeseen problems, though in this case this should have been very foreseeable!

By returning to market forces universities would be obligated to themselves also take economic matters into consideration with their decisions. Too high of tuition and fees are unlikely to get paid off, thus unlikely to produce much in the way of loans, and thus generally not economically viable. Similarly there would be less of an incentive to grow programs that do not substantially improve the ability of students to create a comfortable life for themselves.

Basically we would start on a path back towards the world some baby boomers seem to think we still live in where somebody with a bit of hard work could put themselves through college with a part time job graduating not only debt free but with a enough of a nest egg put aside to have a nice down payment for their first place.
