> Strong/weak is generally not a useful distinction because it has no formal meaning.

"This doesn't have a formal meaning, therefore it's not useful" is quite a logical leap you've got there.

I've got over a decade of professional programming experience in which "strong types" is a useful enough concept to help me do my job. "Soundness" certainly gives stronger guarantees, but it's more than I've needed.

I'm not aware of "expressiveness" having a formal meaning, but my informal definition has functioned for me so far.
No, without this it goes to court. A court will already accept good faith arguments, but absent any good faith clause the court gets to decide what that means. By having a good faith clause the license can control better what happens when the court would determine good faith applys.

They Helped Create Cambridge Analytica. Here Is Their New, Very Similar Startup
Do people who think banks and corporations are good at self-regulating not look at history? The same pattern has repeated for hundreds of years—it’d be embarrassing and horrible if a drunk driver didn’t learn their lesson after a decade, but we haven’t learned our lesson after at least a century.
Nope. If you are an EU citizen, you have a right to be forgotten under the GDPR.

Ask HN: How Has Therapy / Counseling Helped You?
Therapy doesn't just have to be for individuals facing trauma, or other forms of mental illness or distress. I've heard it can be a useful tool and service for learning how to deal with emotions, dissect problems in life and have a professional to talk to.

I'm set to attend my first appointment, and I was hoping to see how therapy / counseling has helped members of HN get through life, and how it has benefited them, be it due to mental health issues or something else.
Obviously they would sell other things too.

In this case it's not the same driver though. The majority of people in finance had nothing to do with mortgage backed securities, and a lot of leadership has changed in the past decade.
lol, noticed the same thing. Sadly its not just Facebook doing it. Every time a company goes under fire there's a ton of comments defending them or saying how it's a necessary step etc. etc. Sometimes its the "famous" users here doing this, consistently for the same companies. Gonna guess they have invested in them but this kind of shilling is just stupid.
Isn't that the nature of a business in America? It acts as a "corporate veil" and as long as you aren't using business funds inappropriately, the business is the "last stop".

These things are very similar. In one case, your defend your personal property (a house), in another, you defend your collective property (a country). In both cases, you rightly feel that you have the privilege of using that property that you want to be in control of, personally or collectively.
It may be worth knowing that you don't have to kill an embryo each time. Once you've harvested a stem cell line, you can use it repeatedly.
But specifically the way Facebook is being dragged to the center of the fire, even though there isn't really any new fuel on Facebook's side.

There's good reason for the media to be tense against Facebook right now, since Facebook has changed the news feed algorithm:

"traffic in the news category, which includes major news publishers The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN and BuzzFeed, was down 14 percent after a sharper drop in the months prior"

I do think Facebook should audit its 3rd party developers more closely and that this leak of data is terrible. Yet, imagine CA instead had built an app for a personality quiz and asked for a ton of permissions from your phone to track your location, harvest your contacts, etc. What else could Google/Apple have done?

Toys R Us had a proper business. If they didn't get saddled by debt thanks to private equity, they'd still be around.

The private equity practice of saddling the company you're buying with the debt you used to buy it should be banned. There is absolutely nothing worthwhile that comes from it.

I downvoted you because this is untrue. Research has shown that crunching for more than a few weeks is detrimental to work output.
Thank you for sticking with me, I'll try to create a new account in a few days. I don't rule out the possibility I am wrong about this.
In my first job out of college I was regularly asked not for point estimates, but for time based LOE estimates. As a junior engineer. My inability to do so honestly based on a lack of information was my first point of big, me-versus-management friction. Eventually we compromised to confidence intervals, which TBH I think provided more and better information and a few other developers eventually picked up using.

I wasn't going to commit myself to a hard number if it wasn't life-or-death stuff. The company (and no company since) was worth that.
This is what many people would call a Teachable Moment. That rare opportunity when a person’s belief structures are shaken up enough that you can unstick their education by reintroducing and idea they previously resisted.

[PODCAST] Founder Coffee – Adam Hempy of Better Proposals
Remind us which leaders got fired? Wall Street makes the same excuses every time—oh, it wasn’t a majority of us, and those guys are retired anyways.

The same executives that paid fines and damages neither left nor were prosecuted. Perhaps this is because they aren’t guilty, and they just ponied up the money to make people happy. I think most people will agree that it is more plausible that at least some of the people who are still executives were guilty of at least incompetence.

Expedia's Orbitz says 880,000 payment cards hit by security breach
From this article:

> If the FTC finds Facebook violated terms of the consent decree, it has the power to fine the company more than $40,000 a day per violation.

> Facebook Inc. is under investigation by a U.S. privacy watchdog over the use of personal data of 50 million users

So I think the maximum (assuming this went on for 90 days) would be:

40,000 x 50,000,000 x 90 = 180,000,000,000,000

180 Trillion.
I really hope FTC will force FB to stop most of their unfair practices.

Yeah, Facebook said they would....in 2011.

Ron Wyden (US Senator from Oregon) asks the following:

"In 2011, Facebook entered into a consent agreement with Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Under the terms of that agreement, Facebook is required to maintain "a comprehensive privacy program that is reasonably designed to (1) address privacy risks related to the development and management of new and existing products and services for consumers, and (2) protect the privacy and confidentiality of covered information."

"a. Please describe how, three years after Facebook entered into the consent order with FTC, Spectre and his company were able to download sufficiently detailed data on 50 million Facebook users without their affirmative knowledge or consent."

Abel Prize to Robert Langlands
"Words still mean things" is not an argument.

This can be a 'breach' by many of these definitions.[0][1][2]

You're basically saying, "Words only mean the things that I want them to mean, and if you try to use them a different way than I approve, then I will use this meme to try to shut you down."

Words fluctuate in meaning all the time. This may very well be the beginning of a new definition for breach, i.e., a social data breach, for example.

But we don't even have to go so far as to claim that this is a new meaning for breach. Any of these old definitions contains sufficient meaningfulness to make "Facebook loses control of data to unauthorized breach" perfectly intelligble.

I wasn't the same person you were replying to upthread, and I'm certainly not arguing against offering more visas. I just thought your "given that we're taking elites, what's different?" question was interesting, and wanted to raise a possible answer.

(I agree that if the penalty came after better outcomes, it's not a relevant factor. I wasn't familiar enough with which restrictions were in place when to say.)

But yes: the complicated part is root causes, and that's not relevant to whether we should expand our visa/citizenship program; we certainly should. If someone in the thread disagrees with you there, it's not me.
I don’t know. They have some features that use authorship, but if enough people use a custom select column to handle assignments, etc, I could see them making login share more difficult. In a large enough organization, login share is impossible to maintain because of the need for access control.
Creating an App in Salesforce Is Stupid Awesome Easy
It has a web interface. Admittedly, their Firefox support has been less than perfect, but it works pretty flawlessly in Chrome.
Which kinda throws me off. It's no secret Facebook, Twitter, your phone (if you give permission to a 3rd party app) etc, are all harvestable. All CA is in regards to a story that broke a couple months ago. Why is it catching fire now?
I bought AdBlock by Future Mind on iOS. I use it because prior to iOS 10, you could load hosts (e.g. mvps) and block ads within apps, 3rd party browsers, etc. I want to block ads from more than Safari and AdBlock is more complete. On iOS 10 and above, I have to load MVPS hosts block lists manually but I can still do it with some effort.

Performance is much faster and saves me data on 4G LTE when you block ads on the DNS level.
>No duh, law enforcement and counterintelligence requires regulation of the financial systems in use

I mostly agree with you, but I find this statement odd. There's obviously some regulation that is helpful to law enforcement and counterintelligence (money laundering regulation comes to mind, which you can't even really get around by using BTC). But crime and intelligence operations have a long history of working around those regulations, and both law enforcements and counterintelligence seem to cope just fine.
> Take Congress for example. Approval ratings are what, 20%? They're generally seen to be corrupt, and they don't get anything done, right? So why aren't they voted out of office?

Because the average approval rating of individual members of Congress in their own district (for the House) or state (for the Senate) is much higher. For most people, it's (some large subset of) the 532 members of the Congress that they don't get to vote for that are the problem.
Are you sure?

Specifically it isn't necessarily about advertisers it regards surveillance.

Advertising revenue can be completely offset by Governmental tracking.

As I said in the other post we can't prove the positive but it certainly is a feasible option.

I know I could do it given the charter.
I wouldn't exclude the possibility that the eventual plan is to do both -- or to manufacture the BFR (the rocket part) in one location, and the BFS (the spaceship part) in the other. The article does mention that the LA location is intended to be able to receive (and presumably service) recovered vehicles, which would make a lot of sense for droneship landing after a Vandenberg launch.

At any rate, I personally haven't heard any speculation about them moving BFS testing outside of Texas, but /r/spacex might very well be the most reliable way to find out (unless you're a SpaceX employee!)
Coursera to Offer BSCS with Univeristy of London
Believe it or not, you can have standards without micromanaging everything. Making sure your average education allows for folks to move into vocational schools or universities without needing remedial education right after completing your basic education is hardly micromanaging. Making sure you have educational facilities for needed job paths is hardly micromanaging.

Nor are bureaucracies all bad if they actually rely on facts and less on special interests.

Excusing this as "the nature of business" is extremely defeatist. We could easily make it so that Bain is back on the hook for these debts, so that they actually care about the outcome of the company.

Keep in mind, Toys R Us had some 20% of the online toy market. And without the debt hanging around their neck, they'd actually have funds to invest in competing.
>Both patients in the trial had "wet" age-related macular degeneration. This form of the disease is caused by abnormal blood vessels growing through the retinal pigment epithelium and damaging the macula. Dry age-related macular degeneration is more common and caused by the retinal pigment epithelium breaking down.

If this is a viable treatment method, it would help only the minority of macular degeration patients.
But that's the whole point, if both are the same on that aspect, and amazon has a larger catalog size, and I already have evening/next day delivery from amazon anyway, why would I bother going the to the toy store ?

The whole point he was making is, once amazon existed, they failed to compete with it. You're a physical store, you have the possibility to interact with people, offer them things they can't have over the internet, use it. If you don't, you're wasting a lot of money on prime rent.

There was one theoretical paper to enable learning more complex distributions in the encoding layer(s) while still using a factorized gaussian or similarly simple distribution to derive the learning rules [1].

so, this is effectively two solid admissions of guilt, in hand. why bother suing journalists if there isn't a truth that you don't want to get out?

needless to say the idea that they want to suppress journalists is egregiously illiberal and warrants our unanimous excoriation of these businesses.

Exactly. Nothing is done and the code of ethics is not enforced.

Let's say I'm a structural engineer or a lawyer and I act legally but unethically: I can be censured by my professional association/college, because law and engineering are professions and thus are self-regulating.

Can the same be said of software development? Certainly not. The cult of the amateur, self-taught basement coder and the entirety of startup culture are antithetical to professional ethics.

I found that it helped me work through how strange and at times counter to my wellbeing hyperrationality is. When I get stressed, I become hyperrational. It makes me well suited to business but poorly suited to connecting with people under stress. Further, I have a real need for stimulation so I seek out difficulty to overcome, which forces me back into this hyperrational state that hurts my relationships in ways that are hard to be aware of without a neutral third-party advising you. In terms of life outcomes, therapy can really reset your trajectory in terms of how you perceive yourself, and make sure the various levels of your identity, stress responses, etc. are working. I never used it when I really needed it, but when I got better I was able to convince myself it is worthwhile, and I do not regret that at all.
