That's why I chose to skip discussion about "actual security" in favor of answering the actual question somebody asked. I agree with your point completely.
I think it was unlikely he'd have gone Republican, and Democrats would have been wary about going with a billionaire in 45's wake. He was probably a non-starter already.
That is the point indeed.

Google and Facebook, will stab you in the back without blinking, to them you area nothing but a number, and sell out your data faster than your friend will.

Even further, Google and Facebook, will drown you in ads and manipulate your mind, sneak in "features" and change your privacy-settings, while your friend will help you avoid it.

You do make a valid point, how low we have sunk, that people will actually trust a company over their own friends. That people would trust a company with "personalization" everywhere, yet believe they can hide in the masses. If they can give you a personal feed, they know you exactly you not an anonymous mass.

> Google and Facebook don't give a shit about me.

They dont give a shit, they are not your friend, and you cant hide behind a number or massive data, their whole game is figuring out the massive data points. Sayin you will hide behind the masses is saying you will be nobody, you will not have anything to say. Thats hard.
What is "fair", really? It may not sound fair to those property owners who want to sell and bought the land on the hope that they can sell it some day.

This is not the point of bail. Bail is not some sort of speculative conviction that you can pay to avoid. The only purpose of bail is to hold somebody if they may be reasonably judged to be a flight risk.

Bail is, btw, almost certainly unconstitutional and should be abolished. It's one of those things that slipped through the cracks and was kind of grandfathered in. The Supreme Court has ruled again and again that in a system where persons are presumed innocent any sort of pre-conviction punishment by the state (fines, excessive jail, forced hospitalization) is not allowed. Somehow though the judge has the power to declare somebody a flight risk and order them held until trial. This is a little mitigated by the right to a speedy trial but is still likely wrong.
We believe that is necessary. There are many organizations and individuals working on this issue. We support change to the culture of mass incarceration. We believe getting people out of jail and helping to support them while they are out is part of that change.

Curious what unintended consequences will you need to be on the lookout for?

For example, could this increased capacity and decrease costs and then will that capacity go towards even more arrests?

If you save a department, say 50%, they may be reluctant to lose their budget and instead will just double the number of arrests/people held.

Yeah. I want to not hate work. I'd even like to enjoy it with some frequency. But it's not really my primary source of entertainment, fulfillment, or enjoyment, and while there are some artistic types here who will legitimately look at that and be horrified, it doesn't particularly bother me. I am large, I contain multitudes, and they don't all have to live at work.
Same here. I can't just dedicate the same amount of money a high-end sure-to-work Xeon E5 machine would cost to an unproven machine I am not absolutely sure all my software will work seamlessly with, with results that would be transferable to the more common x86 servers my software runs on.

Chocolate cake and static sites
I haven't seen any reports, but my impression is that many universities have cut loose many permanent professors, hiring masses of part time, super low wage adjuncts. At the same time gold-plated administration and facilities costs have increased much faster than inflation along with textbooks and tuitions. It's a massive devaluing of the actual education with super-inflation on the trappings of education.
That's the painful thing about the gig economy. They aren't employees, and Uber isn't their employer.

They are independent contractors, that is a separate business entity. Which means, you're right that Uber is under no obligation to give accommodations to their drivers, since they are not an employer.

It's...not a situation I'm a fan of, but it's the current legal status quo.
These things are not very reliable, break easily.
Well, one would expect the "no Frankenfoods!"-crowd to avoid places that call themselves biotech hackerspaces.
Yup. This is why there needs to be a law mandating that ALL allegations of police criminality are automatically, statutorily handled by a special prosecutor. District Attorneys have shown very convincingly that they absolutely cannot be trusted to investigate the misconduct of police in their jurisdiction.

This is a simple change that would, overnight, completely flip the calculus of police who literally get away with murder.

Is it a local thing to have incredibly cheap smart devices? I can go a town over in the rural US and get a cheap smartphone for like $30 with a prepaid plan. Granted, I can't imagine it would be an amazing experience to use, but far better than jail.
Promise or a Judge?

Isn't Promise proposing a combination of both, rather than just the judge alone? e.g.,

Before: Judge makes decision; person is more or less on their own.

After: Judge makes decision; person loosed but with a variety of tools/functions to help them.
I'm not sure if you're unclear of the system, or have some specific point I've been unable to ascertain through your prior posts, but as I understand it Promise is not an alternative that allows more people to be released that otherwise would have been detained, it's an alternative that allows people that the judge already deemed eligible for bail to have a non-monetary option for release.

That is, if you have resources you can get out without Promise, Promise just helps those that were already deemed not a risk to the community by the Judge find a method of spending the weeks/months leading up to their trial still being able to lead a semi-normal life and not incarcerated and not have to have significant financial resources to do so.
> Bail is, btw, almost certainly unconstitutional and should be abolished

Had the framers wanted to prohibit bail, the 8th Amendment would be one word shorter; as it is, only excessive bail is unconstitutional.

> You don't think there's a distinction between "inaccurate news" and outright intentional fakery?

No, I don't. When you call news fake, all you're doing is calling into question the motive of the author or outlet in addition to calling it inaccurate; You're saying, "This news is inaccurate, and the author intentionally made it so." The first part is a statement about the article itself, the second part is a useless ad hominem attack. So when something is said to be "fake news", it's only indirectly about the news itself.

I'll happily concede that some organizations are objectively kept at higher standards than others, ie: that El Chapo story is clearly just fabricated for advertisement dollars. I am not arguing that it is wrong to ever judge an author or organization for past inaccuracies-- denying news organization reputation would be absurd. But given that what we're really talking about with "fake news" is the reputation and intentions of the organizations, what I resent about the "fake news" label is that it presents this false dichotomy where there are organizations that intend to mislead, and then there are the pure and good ones. There's this implication that a story can only misrepresent something by serious omission or the insertion of something that is totally false and separate from reality, but it's not like that, it's a continuum. All journalists and organizations have some inherent bias, and I don't see why it's reasonable to expect readers to understand the inherent biases of particular outlets and to draw the truth out from mixing and considering them in proportion, whereas if they're exposed to one "fake" website that presents one overtly inaccurate statement, it's assumed to be completely fatal to their reasoning -- overtly false information is simply too powerful for the feeble minds of the masses. And nevermind that what's "fake" is rather subjective, and tends to be ascribed more commonly to the new disruptive media rather than the old and entrenched media conglomerates.

There's far more danger in centralized curation than there is with people being exposed to inaccurate statements on the internet. I do not understand how anyone could think otherwise.

In your eyes, what's the difference between fake and inaccurate news? What makes some inaccurate news fake, and other inaccurate news not-fake? If it's based on gauging the intent of the author, wouldn't you agree that it's practically useless?
That’s not the point. You need them when you want to provide services in China. And it’s a non-trivial endeavor, especially for non-Chinese companies. Most multinationals face this challenge when providing online services for their Chinese customers - ranging from software distribution to content management. And you need to play by the rules in every jurisdiction around the globe. GDPR is just another example, like it or not.

I would suppose with a video like https://twitter.com/Uncle_Jimbo/status/976087974109736960 floating around, it does make for some uncomfortable questions.

You cannot keep saying you are neutral when you clearly get outraged when one side does something you let the other side do. Particularly when you shouldn't of let anybody do it in the first place.
You are correct. Needs of those in the criminal justice system vary widely. This will depend on the government partners in each jurisdiction that we are in. Some clients will assign us participants and some will give us guidelines on who we are able to work with. In any case, once we get individuals into the program, our intake is what really tells us what services would be beneficial to them. We will then work to connect the with the best services in their area given their specific needs.

Not really the case - insurance mainly works when the majority of the people paying the premiums (and rarely using the service) covers the costs of the few that need expensive services. In the car analogy: the law mandates that you carry auto liability insurance, which ends up lowering the costs for everyone. This is what the ACA had at its core.

Yeah that kind of device, made by Phillips in my case. I don't think it had advanced functions like defib.. it felt barely big enough to be an EKG already but Im the noob. That said 14K is ludicrous.

The fact the mainstream market is able to sell 200€ smartphone with somehow advanced features is also ludicrous in that context. I guess it's just economy of scale power. But I'm convinced we could make the medical market a bit cheaper. It has serious implications on the whole structure. People will be treated differently based on cost. And in my case, that lack of 2G could have been lethal.

That lets every person arrested charge the police with something criminal, and have it taken seriously, no matter how bogus the charge.

What? You thought the police practice "testilying", but the criminals don't?

Now, true, some such accusations need to be taken more seriously. Not all of them, though. The prosecutors err too often on the side of the police. Erring too much on the side of the accusers is not the answer, though.
Why do you imagine it would have been used? Police have a strong incentive to not provide such evidence.

Trump didn't win by a slim margin at all, he lost the popular vote, but only largely because of California. He had early calls in several states that Hillary was supposed to win. Hillary lost states she never stepped foot in, she was just not a strong candidate, she didn't campaign, she had little ground game and conceded states simply because they were a "firewall." Trump should have never been within spitting distance of any Democratic candidate, especially after Obama who was fairly popular among moderates.
Our plan is to start working with individuals who are in jail pre-trial, but after many conversations with different stakeholders it became apparent that we should also work with individuals who have been convicted. So it is part of our plan to work with individuals who are on probation, parole and those who could be serving their sentences in the community. There is an opportunity to support these individuals so that they are less likely to violate their conditions of release and end up back in jail.

Initial AMD Technical Assessment of CTS Labs Research
Russia’s Supreme Court Orders Telegram to Hand Over Encryption Keys
For what it’s worth, when I worked there, all the engineers I met sincerely cared about just…making a useful product, and respecting people’s data in the process. Pretty much the only guaranteed fireable offense was looking at someone’s data without permission and a valid reason, e.g., to directly fix something broken about their account, which almost never required viewing anything private anyway.

Nobody appeared to be “casually misusing” data—I think the problem is that they’re largely just engineers, particularly young ones, naïvely considering only the engineering side of things. All the data queries go through the robust privacy-checking system, so everything is good, right?

In a case like this, they didn’t consider the optics of what happens when someone scrapes the public (at the time) profiles of Facebook users and uses that information for nefarious deeds. What happens when users are angry not because their private data was “breached”—a technical problem with an engineering solution—but because they didn’t realise how much they’d already shared publicly (even if you explicitly told them) and how it could be used to influence them en masse?

You should at least have talked about all the points that go into an incorporation document and some that don't (equity shares, vesting, time & work commitments, decision-making, roles, etc.) and have a verbal agreement that everyone's on-board with. You don't have to actually file the paperwork, which is expensive and creates ongoing administrative work. You should file the paperwork ASAP, but if a founder starts working on the project and then decides that his true desires lie elsewhere or he's not happy with the working arrangement, that's often easier to fix before there's a real company than afterwards.
