How would that not be a breach? Their system allowed a malicious entity acting in bad faith to gain large amounts of data under false pretenses. If they got the data by pretending to be an employee and social engineering their way into the data that way facebook would 100% call that a breach. Is this that different?

Professional ethics aside, how about plain old personal ethics? Do programmers have a higher incidence of unethical behavior in general than the rest of the population?

No, they're extremely effective in the "SLAPP" sense, because you have to be able to prove the truth in court against perjuring witnesses, and you have to be able to pay for it.

To take a justified example where a ""journalist"" really did defame someone: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/katie-hopkin...

"This includes £24,000 in damages to Monroe and £107,000 to her lawyers to cover court costs." Hopkins is now selling her house to cover costs.

Most people fold immediately when threatened with a convincing libel suit, because apologising (even for the truth) is a lot cheaper than a settlement which is in turn a lot cheaper than losing your house.

Another high profile example of effectively suppressing true facts: Trafigura https://www.theguardian.com/environment/georgemonbiot/2009/s...

Note that a litigant doesn't necessarily have to suppress facts forever, a few years while the case proceeds is often enough to turn the original issue into a historical curiosity.

For the people that practice street-math, Kinetic Energy goes as (velocity)^2. So halving the speed reduces the energy to 1/4. A third of the speed is 1/9th the energy. etc.

As you go faster, your energy goes up exponentially. This is why there are bitter fights about increasing the speed limit on roads; they become exponentially less safe (big caveats apply, naturally).
I mainly use my N26 card here in the US, because I believe the conversion rate is cheaper (I never actually checked).

If you are in the US, the instant notification of credit card swiping is mostly useless in restaurants, since it doesn't show the tip until the transaction is actually processed a long time later. A few restaurants ask you to go in the back with them to type your pin, because they have a chip reader, but they don't yet have the wireless "gameboy" (it just occurred to me that pin+tip might be a tall order, the pin protects the amount too).
> There's nothing suburban parents like me want more than an indoor play space for my kid (for extremely hot or cold days)

Funny enough, a new cafe opened up a few blocks from where I live with this in mind. About half of the customer space is a play area for smallish children, and the other half is "normal" with tables and chairs... My point being that it doesn't need to be limited to toy stores or kiddie museums, even if this particular cafe boards up shop.
As far as I know, all SpaceX rockets so far have been made in their Hawthorne facilites and the new ones are just 20 minutes away. So they can either just move workers to the new facilities or at least keep the staff of both in close contact. Also Elon usually is either in Freemont or in Hawthorne, her certainly doesn't want to add more travel to his schedules.
Launch it from LA and land it in Florida for the test flight?
As I understand it basically all of their existing engineering staff works at their Hawthorn, CA complex, so this is the closest location to that which will allow them to ship by water.

So far their prototype giant carbon fiber tanks have been manufactured at a partner's facility in Washington state so this should allow them to receive those shipments pretty easily.

Now what's good alternative to Facebook Messanger video calls? Signal doesn't support it - I read that it's in beta, but I can't enable it. Telegram doesn't seem to support it either. Skype is not an alternative.

Is Matrix/Riot good enough right now? For me it should work on Linux, Android and iOS for my family.

Now that I think about it, maybe I should setup some private WebRTC service for video calls. But it seems cumbersome for part of my family. However it probably would be easier for my parents and my in-laws.

EDIT: As Thriptic mentioned Signal indeed does support video calls. I failed to find the functionality, because I expected to see separate button for video call. One has to first start calling and then enable video.
And that agreement means absolutely nothing unless the FTC is also willing to enforce it - hard - against Facebook now.
You can weigh your news sources. I intentionally give a little more weight to sources I don’t always agree with but aren’t obviously biased. Things like fake news spreaders, conspiracy theorist, government propaganda machines, or fair topical sites that simply don’t interest me (mostly Celebrity News and Gossip) get black holed.

You can find those sliders in your settings. Also they ask you periodically on the desktop homepage.

Pro tip: if you hate the mobile or new UI as much as I do, set your user agent to iPhone and go to google.com/nwshp. For whatever reason that magical incantation gives you the classic home page (with the sliders I mentioned in easy access/obvious places). I’ll be really excited if someone knows how to just set that globally in settings. I haven’t found it.

Sure, we know that humans expect small pieces of human to be treated as irrelevant (e.g. you leave tiny skin particles and hairs basically everywhere and all you usually ask is that people vacuum them up to avoid the place being covered in dust) and that larger pieces (e.g. a toe, or in this case an embryo) should be treated with extra care and consideration of people's emotional reaction.

If the context is Haskell, I'd probably user type-level naturals to encode the correct input/output types.

In other contexts without polymorphic types, like with C, I'd wrap the input and output types in custom structs that expose trusted operations. The more minimal the better. It's definitely more cumbersome without polymorphism, but you do what you can for the code that's mission critical.

I worked on a DARPA contract on military radio technology. I’m not surprised at all why these things go over budget.

Imagine awarding a contract to build a self-driving car. Do you think that contract could be delivered on budget and on time? That’s like every military contract. They’re for bespoke stuff that doesn’t exist in the market. The military looks at what’s out there, adds a bunch of wishlist items, and then puts out a contract for that.

Think about how the private sector develops new products. They don’t award a fixed price contract. They throw a bunch of money at startups. Most of those efforts fail. What is the development cost of every successful product, accounting for those failures? In the military, all the hiccups and restarts and course corrections and dead ends that would kill a startup, and be written off by investors, instead get accounted for in the final cost of the contract.
> And was there a breach of a the Terms of Service by companies taking all this data and using it for non-academic purposes? Yes there was.

There's a legal concept of 'waiver' meaning that even if something is prohibited in a contract, but the parties don't enforce that part, then that part is later not enforceable. Facebook was fully aware of this behavior, chose not to enforce the ToS, and therefore it waived that clause. Therefore no breach.

Gaussian Processes with Spectral Mixture Kernels for Machine Learning
I appreciate that the article emphasizes personal well-being, but I'm having trouble finding its insight.

Specifically, I would want the author's opinion on how much of yourself you should invest in your startup, or more philosophically, the balance between what you do and what you are.

Tension certainly exists between success-of-the-company and health-of-the-self, respectively represented by coaching and counseling. These two sides are separate, and, in a billion-dollar-pressure-cooker, may even be in open warfare with each other: "I need to work harder" versus "I want to spend time with my children".

So far, this balance seems weighted towards the former. Michael Siebel of YC, has gone on record saying the best startups have founders who stake their self-worth on success and who are, therefore, unhealthy. [1]

I would even surmise that part of why the author recovered is because he left Reddit. His all-consuming focus was just that: All-consuming. Did Reddit need to eat away at him? Or was it incidental? The article doesn't quite say one way or another, but other resources indicate that the authors departure 3 years after the acquisition, gave him the chance to work on his health.

A founder needs to sacrifice for their company, that much is a given.

But the big question for me is, in the pursuit of greatness, when does self-sacrifice become self-destruction?

Currently with the Falcon 9 they do the manufacturing in Hawthorne, initial testing in McGregor Texas, and then in Florida they have facilities for integration and inspection. They are leasing/building more facilities in Florida at Port Canaveral to handle inspection and refurbishment of landed boosters.

Eventually it might make sense to move final assembly closer to the launch site for BFR, but I would expect a lot of the component assembly (like engines) to remain in Hawthorne.

You're assuming that I have ADHD. I've never been diagnosed as that.

I do have several family members who are ADHD and it profoundly limits their lives when not well-treated.

ADHD is a complex disorder. There are at least 7 different so-called "executive function" cognitive abilities that can be affected, each to a varying degree. But the most common one people discuss is inability to control focus. This can mean that you can't finish reading a single page of something you really want to understand, or that you can't stop reading something that's completely not what you should be doing. Hyperfocus and inability to focus are parts of the same disorder. Imagine spending a week, 8-10 hours per day, sitting at your computer trying to get a couple hour task done and never succeeding even though it is well within your skill, ability, and training, just because you can't concentrate.

Also affected are things like time awareness, planning, visualizing outcomes, controlling impulses, and a few others. Many of these things fall in to what people steeped in the Western "protestant work ethic" see as moral failings; lack of effort, lack of "will", letting people down, etc. The irony is that folks with ADHD will actually work far harder to accomplish things than neurotypicals, while being labeled as lazy, worthless, unreliable, etc.

ADHD is also often found with co-morbidities, that is disorders that show up together. Most frequent of these are generalized anxiety, and depression. This is why it takes a very well trained and experienced professional to be able to tease out a good diagnosis and treatment plan, because treating the underlying condition is required, not the symptoms.

Once you become aware of how it can affect people it becomes rather easy to see it in folks, or at least to be aware that they could be struggling with it. That's why you see me, for instance, suggest to some folks they get evaluated by a professional when they ask for help in certain circumstances.

Your ability to understand and relate to a lot of the people around you will be enhanced if you take the time and effort to understand what ADHD is, and how it affects folks, so I urge you to continue to do so.
The roots of mathematics in the west are fairly inextricably tied up with the development of religion via Pythagoras and especially Plato. Plato (or at least Platonists) taught, for example that God literally was One -- as in the number 1. And that all of reality is the result of successive emanations from 1 -- to the dyad (2), then the rest of the numbers, on through geometry and so on. Those beliefs influenced the philosophical development of all the major monotheistic religions.

Arguments like yours are extremely tired, and have a strong smell of "look how sad your life is compared to mine".

I could easily make the same argument about email. You know the last time I emailed a friend? Literally never. I don't even know my friends email addresses. I don't even know if they use it.

I could make the same argument about letters. I don't know the addresses of my friends. I know where their houses are and I can drive to them, but I've never sent them a letter.

I could make the same argument about phone calls. I know my friends numbers, but only so I can text them. If I called one of my friends on the phone, I imagine they'd be very confused as to why I didn't just text them. Their first question would probably be "are you driving or what?"

Oh how sad the lives must be of people who call, write letters, or write emails. What inhospitably inconvenient lives they lead. I'm glad you've evolved to more advanced forms of social interaction. Now please stop judging everyone else who chooses a different method of social interaction than you.

It is not ridiculous if you are driving in a narrow lane close to the obstacles. When I am driving on a residential (one lane, parked cars on both sides) street and I am approaching a tall opaque van I start by noticing if anyone is around it as I approach, when I have better sight lines, then as I get near it I absolutely slow down from an average speed of 15-20mph to well under 10mph and yes, depending on the situation sometimes as low as 5mph or slower. When I am on a faster road with two or more lanes there is often room to move laterally in these situations and so my speed reduction is less extreme, but I absolutely do still slow down as I pass these vans/trucks, cover the brakes and also check my blind spot to see if there is room for evasive maneuvers should they be required. If I see people in the area as I approach and have reason to believe they might try to cross, enter or exit a car, or otherwise be near the lane of traffic I will often change lanes to the left if possible.
> 1. The Democrats didn't harvest the data under false pretenses; the data came from people who signed up for a political app.
