This ties into the larger problem of Western democracies generally degenerating into gerontocracies. Older voters can form a bloc protecting pensions and pensioner-directed state-benefits that no politician dare take on.

The results of this is a political trap without an easy exit: Impose punitive taxes on the working population and you'll strangle the economy and incite capital flight and outright rebellion. Form a consensus with other mainstream politicians to slash pensions and benefits, and you'll push the pensioner voting bloc into the arms of whatever extremists promise to protect their interests. And you can't allow large-scale immigration to correct the demographic imbalance and raise tax revenues, because the same pensioner voting bloc is also rabidly anti-immigration.

Brexit was a first taste of this: The 1997 Labour government saw the demographic and revenue crisis coming and thought EU migration was a solution. But the long-term result was to inspire an anti-immigration and anti-EU movement amongst older voters that has forced the country out of the EU. In Germany you see the same forces at work with the rise of AFD, and in France with the FN. This is going to get a lot worse before it gets any better.
At this stage, regulation seems like it may help Facebook more than it'd hurt. Regulations that restrict the very behaviors that allowed Facebook to grow to its dominance might make it more difficult for startups to ever challenge them in a meaningful way.

hey, thanks! to answer your questions:

1 - yes, our python API can still be your main tool for creating protocols, no one needs to use the GUI if they dont want to. In fact, OT-2 runs a jupyter notebook onboard so you can just connect over wifi / USB, pull up the notebook in your browser, and live code to the robot (as well as run a python script through the App same w/ OT-One).

2 - yes, all OT-One users get a $2000 discount on the OT-2, so starting price for you is $2k :)

Google is known to remove bad suggestions. I suspect they deliberately avoid anything contentious.

If you try "Donald Trump" and then start typing Collusion, it won't suggest collusion until it gets to "Donald Trump Collu" at which point it suggests.... "Donald Trump Collusion Speech".

Basically they just avoid anything controversial.

I have a very similar experience.

I found that developing a routine of exercise is the only thing that has helped me with anxiety and depression. As a side effect, when you have a busy schedule, and you commit to working out in the morning (for instance) it leaves you little time for your bad habits (drinking at night or whatever).

The problem isn't how they describe the size of the data. It's that the data whose size they describe is completely irrelevant to the point they are trying to make.

I didn't say "well duh, Google has at least 5GB on you, that's a small number really". I said "well duh, of course Google has your gmails and Drive docs" - and they are as small or large as you make them, their size is completely irrelevant.

I did snipe at the comparison to Word docs, not because it's a non-commensurable unit but because Word docs don't have a size - I can easily make a single Word doc 5GB large. But that was an aside quite irrelevant to my main point and maybe I should have omitted it.

> In my own professional life, for example, as I improved my standing as an academic and a writer, I began receiving more interesting opportunities than I could handle. I currently have filters on my website aimed at reducing, not increasing, the number of offers and introductions I receive....My research on successful professionals underscores that this experience is common: As you become more valuable to the marketplace, good things will find you.

This struck me as humble-braggy, and not particularly enlightening. Are there any details on this research? It's not at all surprising that a tenured professor at Georgetown would have lots of inbound requests, so that one data point isn't particularly relevant for most people. What fields were these other professionals in?

I'm completely open to the possibility that in some fields, the most successful people are not on social media much. But laying out this blanket advice without any detail on where it might or might not apply isn't very helpful.

There are a lot of founders on HN, and I am interested to see the perspective of other founders. We wear lots of hats, including as social media marketers—which of course entails some social media presence. I'm pretty sure my Kickstarter would have never been funded if I weren't on FB, for example! But maybe I'm wrong, and I'm not considering the alternate promotion avenues I would have pursued if I weren't on FB?
The public pension system is flawed. Unions hold significant political sway and no politican will want to go against them. There was a multi-year standoff between the governor of Illinois and the house on this. The governor of Illinois tried to balance the budget and adjust compensation to market rates; he failed. Here is an article on it: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/27/us/illinois-budget-stalem....

Can someone clarify that this please? To me it appears that this body is saying that, "States, Please don't make laws requiring minimal standards for SDVs for things, including deployment on public roads, because that would impede deployment. Allow us to handle all that"

But they didn't do it, right? SDV's were on roads even before the "safety design and performance aspects of ADS technology" was regulated, right?

The 16GB iPhone 3GS debuted for $199 with a contract from AT&T.

People were still going to have mobile phone contracts. The smartphone replaced their cell phone just like it replaced their Garmin GPS and their Flip video camera and their pocket planner. It was a compelling proposition.
Using a similar argument, paying yourself exorbitant over-market compensation while cooking the books to avoid accounting for the true (and unaffordable) cost to your funders and auditors (the public, for Gov't) is a form of embezzlement.

I think the truth lies somewhere between here, but the obligations probably can't reasonably be met, and probably never could.
The number of "Smalltalk-like" keywords is limited and this is not a syntax : they are executed like any other words.

imo you're overestimating the "smalltalk-like" part, as it is mainly word naming conventions (a ':' at the end of some words to show that something is required after) and not syntax. The "something" required after is read from the input stream as a part of the word's execution (like many Forth words).

There is no "real parser" : the parser is like any Forth parser ie one word at a time separated by blanks.

In fact, it is an Forth-like interpreter with immediate words and parsing words that use the stack structure a lot.

Is it really the responsibility of a journalist to hold the hand of people not well versed in the topic at the expense of technical correctness? I don't think so, I'd prefer we hold a standard of being correct and put the onus of education on the readers. They can Google what they don't understand. We can educate the public better to not be afraid of technical details. I agree with danarmak, this piece like so many others is just a bunch of sensationalized details. You should know what you're signing up for, nobody should be surprised by anything in there.
What constitutes propaganda? And why does it matter that its personalized?

I'll second GNU Stow — I've been using it off-and-on for almost twenty years now (hard to believe that it's been that long!). It does have issues when pre/post-install scripts are required, but that could be easily wrapped.

I think Stow could be easily combined with the ideas in this article to yield something pretty awesome. It already supports clean uninstalls and checking for conflicts, and individual Stow dirs are easily tar-able too. Really, a wrapper around Stow that knows how to handle common configure/make/make install patterns sounds like it'd do the trick.

At GitLab, our installation method for the product was also tightly based around chef-solo and chef omnibus. At first we were trying to continue using these technologies inside our containers, but this required our containers to run as root.

So a lot of our effort in moving to kubernetes has required us to try and duplicate all of our previous installation work in ways that don't require root access while the containers are running.

To help, we've chosen to use Helm to manage versioning/upgrading our application in the cluster: https://helm.sh/
I think the paren't side of the argument also holds water, though: Paying these absurd pensions is something like a form of theft from future taxpayers. Most of the people who will have to pay for these pensions wouldn't have been of voting age when a lot of the deals were being made, so they really had zero say in the matter.

I doubt that state employees from previous generations realized that they were agreeing to skim all this money money off of their children and grandchildren, but, nonetheless, here we are. It's a situation where it's going to be impossible to do justice to everyone. But it's going to be important to minimize the injustice. That is probably going to require some concessions on the parts of pensioners - if they don't take a scale back, it's just going to put Illinois on a downward spiral as its most economically productive citizens and businesses emigrate. That's a worse path. It will lead to pensioners suffering an even worse kick in the pocketbook, and create a lot of collateral damage for working people in the process.
Some of us do not subscribe to the "ends justify the means" theory. And with that, I'd consider this example a form of failed journalism. Regardless of whether or not there is actually an underlying point, this particular piece of pseudo-journalism didn't capture it. I chuckled when I read the author's description of himself/herself: "... who does extensive research into spreading technical awareness ...". One might think with the extensive research they have done so far, some of that technical awareness should have had reached the author, themselves.
I left too and could not be happier! My situation and experiences in Chicago were awful and I couldn't see that until I moved to a new city.
Chicago is losing population from the south and west sides --- for good reason --- but has hit historic low unemployment rates. If you're in the middle class, you can safely pretend none of what's happening to low-income residents has anything to do with you.

not just that, but also that it's personalized so in theory more effective

2) get a believer to vote who otherwise wouldn't have voted

The tagging and likes are a more manual effort.
I suspect one reason is that the teams granting pensions are usually long gone before it is time to pay for them.

I strongly suspect that union leaders negotiating big pensions generally do not care much for the welfare of the people they claim to negotiate for (e.g., union workers). Negotiators almost certainly know that what they ask for is unsustainable and that a more sustainable schema will be better for the workers (their benefits wound not have to be trimmed), but negotiating for bigger future payouts brings bigger career benefits and plenty of time to not be associated with this when the system finally fails.
After building my own printer from parts and realizing how hard it is to make something that can follow gcode accurately, repeatedly and quickly I’m still left wondering “How good is this hand?”

Most of the stuff I’ve printed or built has ended up being “ok”. A lot of that is that I’m not a meatspace engineer, or a pixie engineer, I’m a software engineer. So I’m very much on the learning curve of robotics... but there is a lot to learn. AvE talks a lot about industrial lego, and its true you can just bolt and solder stuff together and get a prototype, or a proof of concept, but getting that to a product is really hard.

So when we say that a kid has built an arm for his Dad, is that a cute story or a sign that the bar for this kind of technology has dropped to the point that a high school kid can build a useful product?

Because everybody wants their cake on hand and to eat it at the same time.

US politicians promise pensions but instead of (realistically) setting aside money, they divert money on the basis of the most optimistic models of revenue.

Then you have the financial side where funds spend other people's money. It's more sickening when you realize they skim a few percentages of the total pension money. It doesn't sound much until you realize that even 1% of a few trillion is a few billion in raw profit. And this is before funds down a profit!

We have a massive bubble and we either expand our way out of it (seasteading or space). Or we have a wave of massive nihilism when older people have pensions cut and the young notice a lack of loyalty to upholding promises.
How President Obama’s campaign used big data to rally individual voters. (2012)
Von Brauns push for additional testing prevented the first human in space from beeing american.

"After the flight of Mercury-Redstone 2 in January 1961 experienced a string of problems, von Braun insisted on one more test before the Redstone could be deemed man-rated. His overly cautious nature brought about clashes with other people involved in the program, who argued that MR-2's technical issues were simple and had been resolved shortly after the flight. He overruled them, so a test mission involving a Redstone on a boilerplate capsule was flown successfully in March. Von Braun's stubbornness was blamed for the inability of the U.S. to launch a manned space mission before the Soviet Union, which ended up putting the first man in space the following month.[citation needed]"
There’s got to be some happy medium between this insanity and the insanity of “you’re on your own—here’s a crappy 401(k), figure it out!”
Those workers didn’t decide their own pay and benefits. And frankly they aren’t ridiculous. They are very reasonable and frankly a joke compared to the compensation of executives and bankers who bribe politicians to undermine and kill worker benefits.
I actually like it quite a bit for some reason. It's a lot easier to focus on than a typical Sans/Serif font.
> Taking away that pension now would be theft from these people

There are four solutions to this problem: austerity (cutting spending and/or raising taxes), default (cutting benefits), borrowing and federal bail-out. At this point, the first postpones the second if borrowing or a bail-out aren’t options. (Borrowing explicitly postpones it.)

Note that “default” doesn’t mean unilateral cutting. It is politically negotiated, and may involve the state giving pensioners something in exchange for reduced cash benefits.

Facebook now has a central place to view and edit all your privacy settings
How will you be able to reduce the field of possible values presented by sha256 if you approximately know the source image? There is still noise in the image and several orders of magnitude more data. You assume that brute forcing similar images and hashing the result would be easier than just brute forcing the sha256.
If they do, whatever issues they're occupied with finding would call for an exorcism.
Based on what I saw when I worked at FB, deletion means “it is really deleted from Facebook’s servers”. It just takes time for that to propagate across all data centers, get out of all caches, that sort of thing. Naturally, nobody believes this even though it’s true, just like nobody believes that Facebook doesn’t sell user data, even though their very business is based on keeping that data to themselves so they can profit from it through ad targeting.

Some minimal tombstone metadata like “This ID was a post/image” is kept around for things like error messages (“The post you are trying to view is not available. It may have been deleted or you may not have permission to view it.”). There might be exceptions for illegal things (like child pornography) where there’s some obligation to keep the data (or a hash or something) for law enforcement purposes, but I’m not aware of any.

> I do believe that calling out the 5GB illustrative example is missing the point of the article.

Please see my reply to bhauer's sibling comment, I think it applies here too. The problem isn't with the 5GB size or how they compare it to 3 million Word docs. The problem is with measuring the size of something completely irrelevant. The problem is with saying "Google collects data on you for advertising, they have data you wouldn't expect them to have" and then linking to data you explicitly, deliberately uploaded to Google yourself. The problem is with linking to Google Takeout and pretending it's something that it's not.
They’re not absurd pensions. They’re nothing compared to what many, many executives even of failing companies get paid.
I had a similar incident (I was able to ctrl-c out of the hanging df -h though). Luckily dmesg gave me something super clear (like `nfs host <blah> unreachable`), so I did a `umount -l` (lazy) on `/mnt/net/<blah>` and things were OK.

Interesting, and worth considering. It still doesn't explain the dramatic lag between what work educated adults do versus what they're taught.

I graduated high schooll in 1979. The math curriculum consisted almost entirely of rote arithmetic learning, then some algebra, then very Euclidean geometry, them some trig and more algebra. All calculations done by hand. Laboriously. This utterly ignored the advent of calculators, and then computers. I ended up working as a stress analyst in defense industry, and I was never, ever without my trusty HP calculator, and withing arms length of a VT-100, with as much as a Cray-2 on the other end.

I see my kids doing somewhat different things, but there's still an emphasis on arithmetic. This utterly ignores the advent of MACSYMA, Octave, Matlab, Mathematica, etc, and the predominance of algorithms. None of that is even hinted at, even though they now use TI calculators in class.

There's something to be said for not slavishly following trends, but ignoring long-term secular changes is entirely without merit.
