Wouldn't adding hashed query strings to urls linking to sites outside of Facebook circumvent any effort put into containing de-anonymizing data? The wrong hash would lead nowhere, and the right one would give you away.

Facebook would only have to edit a specific field in users' posts' urls related to certain domains, so that different users access unique urls that link them to Facebook in a specific context.

Once outside the container, a user is traceable back to a Facebook profile.

I don't know if this is possible, but people don't really check urls, let alone human-unreadable ones.

I imagine that this could break navigation, but directing wrong queries to a default page would solve this. Anyway, they could still try their luck.

How is the factually correct claim that white men, in the study, earn more than Black and Hispanic men, and more than women of any racial/ethnic category, painting them in a “bad light”?

Would there equally true statement that Asian men earn more than men of any other racial/ethnic category and more than women of any ethnic category be painting Asian men in a “bad light”?
I'd rather Lyft commit to closing wage gaps across workers-managers

It's a joke to think a CEO is really generating 80x the typical pay of a worker in value.

Studies haven't been able to find any conclusion on HOW value is generated in the first place. They run into so many variables from go, it becomes a complicated mess.

This is basically "divine right" masquerading as quantitative measure. They're smart, yes? So of course they know they provide that much value, say the rubes who never question it.

One approach I sometimes take is to make the refactoring in one commit and the change in another. They can go into the same PR (within reason), but they're clearly separated out.
That was for the first version, the next paragraph states:

"At the suggestion of a colleague, they tried connecting the gels through a Miura-ori fold, a type of origami fold that allows the gels to stack on a folded sheet. The gels connect simultaneously with a large contact area, more closely resembling the geometry of the eel’s cells. This method increased the current and prevented energy waste by decreasing the time it took for the gels to connect."

To repeat the other comments, right now CuDNN is the advantage - that is manifested as TensorFlow/Keras/PyTorch. AMD have RocM and in these benchmarks it was like 10X or more slower training for CNNs that P100s - https://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Cards/NVIDIA-TITAN-V-...

How sustainable is the advantage? Not that big - you don't need cuda compatability like hiptensorflow tried in a classic shortcuts-dont-work way. Just an alternative CuDNN for Vega that is integrated in TensorFlow distributed binaries.
> Your statement that IBM could sue company using a clean-room developed re-implementation of IMB's BIOS if IBM owned a copyright to their BIOS is incorrect as a matter of law.

To the extent that it's relevant here, that appears to be untrue. This hinges on the fact that with an API, you have to match it exactly, and there's no reasonable way to argue that someone could sit down and do a clean room implementation of the Java APIs that perfectly matched all 3000 classes and all the public interfaces of all those classes.

You can do a clean room implementation of the Java Platform, but you can't do a clean room design of the Java APIs. The whole point you're trying to solve is to make something that's compatible with Java, and that requires knowing the Java APIs, i.e., it's not a clean room. If we extrapolate that back to IBM and clones, as long as the clone makers must come up with the same external API as the IBM BIOS, then this court would say that IBM absolutely could use copyright law to prohibit clones, because the clones would have to have copied the APIs -- not the code, but the names and types used in the APIs themselves, and IBM holds copyright to those names.
US copyright law doesn't do compulsory licensing for anything other than music recordings, and I believe it doesn't have compulsory patent licensing at all. I'm not sure there's a good rationale for this.

Average users see years of Facebook not caring enough about privacy, with a CEO and COO making anti-privacy statements.

Things have changed? What about that Real Name Policy?

Anonymized data? The world of data brokers might disagree.

The shady world of farmers and affiliate marketers rely on the ease of Facebook data mining.

Tin hats? Facebook has relied too long on users not understanding what happens with their data behind the scenes.

Personally identifiable or not (trivial matters) the fact that Facebook and its devs fail to see the harm that this platform is causing from its gluttony of user data is mind boggling.
We need to treat illicitly obtained data like narcotics, incriminate everyone that touches them. Then, we need to stop doing that with narcotics.
I do that, discovered lots of good movie that way, and discussed different perspectives etc... Why would you need a cinema or watch a movie together?

Did Google infringe on the libraries or the actual API?

Supposedly, both. They made an API with the same structure, names, etc. They also copied a nine-line function called rangeCheck.

Additionally, how would this relate to the Java programming language being "free" and why would Google infringe on anything if it was free?

"Free" is not a legal license. Google would have to start from the OpenJDK implementation, and be subject to its license, which they didn't.
Simple ..

I've got some news for him ... sometimes people invest in their 401Ks and GASP.... when they might want to withdraw from it in retirement, if the country is in the middle of a depression or a recession, guess what? It's worth a fraction of what it once was.

Same goes people who bought ridiculously priced homes in the run-up to 2008... Guess what? Thinking that $600,000 3-bedroom home in the desert near Phoenix, AZ was a good retirement vehicle was not a good choice.

And to a lesser extent, this is another example, a sad one, of people choosing to avoid diversifying their sources of wealth and income. There's simply too much risk by having ALL of your eggs in a single basket.

It's on the one hand easy to sympathize with this case but on the other, I don't think there is anything due him economically.
There is no published price and the difference is the new Quadro supports Nvidia's OptiX ray-tracing API, as well as a very moderate performance boost over the Tesla V100 card.

While it is eye-popping, you would be correct in saying this is pretty much just a relaunch under the Quadro brand.
Edited, made it clear I was talking about companies.

But for most consumers, the same applies. Most people don't want to own records, or even own music. They want to listen to music.

They don't want to own cars, they want to get to places.

> However, it’s impossible to get the same quality for the same amount spent this way, since vendors prefer the service business model.

Not just a matter of preference, but economies of scale. Most consumers don't want to install and run their own local CCTV service, so the market left for those who want is too small to achieve the same economies of scale as the service market.

Exactly Cannes just became irrelevant IMO. I personally doubt any streaming service movie would win, but restricted rewards are meaningless. At the extreme, I can always offer an award that only I can win, but why would anyone care.

Arguably, the Ellen Ripley that we have all come to know and love was mostly developed and solidified in Aliens, and "motherhood" was a major theme in that film.
Isn't this a rather classic "whataboutism"? I don't think anybody here (not me, certainly) is arguing that capitalism is perfect and without a single flaw. But nevertheless any real-world implementations of socialism always ended up being far worse than of capitalism. And communists never were particularly shy about using slave labor or genociding people either.

There is a reason why that anti-socialist rhetoric exists.

Google does a remarkably good job with pronunciation. I'm consistently impressed by it.

I was messing around with the ancient VBA text to speech system. If most TTS systems sucked as much as that one, you could also make a SAAS business for finding "typos" that make the word sound correct when pronounced.
On the contrary, I've completely disabled OS update checks via OS X's settings menu on both my personal (El Capitan) and work (Sierra) computers. I've managed to keep both up to date on security updates while avoiding obnoxious High Sierra update reminders quite easily.

iOS is terrible in this regard, however. I've only managed to keep my phone on iOS 9 through a bug/workaround involving a tvOS beta cert.

Yeah, that totally makes sense to me.

And getting back to your original point, some of the modern sense of race is pretty unsophisticated, like "people with dark skin". That encompasses many distinct populations.

But I think older racial thinking was actually more nuanced, and would consider many different attributes when categorizing "races", which maps pretty well to distinct populations, which maps pretty well to stuff like PCA.

E.g., I suspect the thinking that went into something like like this

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/21/arts/design/races-of-mank...

did not consider the entierty of Africa as one race.
Yes (that’s what spoken language is).

Arguably off topic, but do any cryptocurrency experts here know of any studies on the potential economic effects of a truly (or even effectively) untraceable digital currency?

Just off the top of my head I would expect two immediate effects if such a thing really caught on:

1) An increase in many types of illegal commerce.

2) A huge downturn in industries used for money laundering and tax evasion.

These might be highly localized, e.g. a bunch of bars might close in City A because that's how the locals wash money; while in City B there might be a surge in "Anonymero" wealth because they make cocaine and are good at shipping it.

That's true, but if you type and distribute a book that happens to match the latest Harry Potter, nobody - including the courts - will believe you independently came up with that exact sequence of words.

Similarly, if you copy the definitions of all functions/methods/classes/etc from one API, nobody will believe you independently came up with it.
Maybe you're just not that sensitive to it? App load times aren't what keeps me from updating, it's stability -- iOS 11 is still ridden with bugs, which is ridiculous for a 6 month old OS used by millions of people worldwide. Of course, CPU throttling is another valid reason to hold off, or, if you use a phone with a smaller screen like my SE, you might not want to update to an OS that doesn't scale well for your screen size..
I suppose you could argue that black box reproduction is simply an elaborate form of copying. That's not relevant to this case because Google did simply just copy it.

Given post-9/11 history, they could have enticed him into overt preparation for the crime they were tipped off that he might be prone to commit, arrested him for it, and claimed it as a foiled terrorist plot. But regardless of whether it would have actually been a something-like-accurate claim in this case, he wasn't Muslim, so the resulting headline wouldn't fit with the acceptable narrative, so there was no motivation to expend the required resources.

I'm also incredibly less likely to be raped, be the victim of domestic abuse from my partner, pressured by my boss for sex, have my qualifications questioned over my gender, low-balled on offers, negatively evaluated for expressing 'masculine' traits in the workplace, be low-balled on hiring offers, have my career suffer because of fears that I'll have a child and take paternity leave, should I keep going..?

The nature of privilege is that some people have more of it in certain contexts, and other people have more of it in other contexts. That doesn't mean that the playing field is equal.

And, uh, if I were a black or native man, I'd have all the problems you listed, and a whole bunch more.
It's a fair point, but there were quite a few countries (starting with China) that that refused Soviet influence (often, because they considered it not sufficiently communist) and went their own way. They didn't succeed at building the workers' paradise any better than USSR did.

Communism does (well, can...) work just fine. Just not with the actual, real people that exist in this world.

Well, I don't mean to compare those two very different situations, but that does happen with victims of domestic violence. Many times they choose to remain in the relationship, and out of fear and desperation, they hope things will change, and they rationalize that whatever is happening is partially their fault or not that serious. And many times that ends with the death of a domestic violence victim.
Odds like that are meaningless (imo) for singular events. It's a good bet in repeatable scenarios, far less so in elections.
In other words Nvidia has no meaningful edge in hardware microarchitecture, patents and innovation. Is this correct?

The challenge for GIMP is that it exposes a lot of GTK in its API, which is used by lots of 3rd-party plugins. All which will break when moving from GTK2 to GTK3.

At the same time there is an ongoing transition to use GEGL as the pixel manipulation API, which eventually plugins also need to be updated for.

2.10 is the release which provides all the new APIs for plugins to use, so they can start updating (but existing code will work). 3.0 will then remove the old pixel manipulation APIs, and also transition to GTK3+.

This hopefully keeps the burden on plugin devs to a minimum, and keep the compatibility clear for users (plugins for GIMP2 dont work on GIMP3, and vica versa).
