Can you explain why Trump keeps insisting on having private meetings with the Russians and Putin himself, often unreported in the Western press only to have that story broken by the Russian media?

And why he insists on breaking all protocols to do this, such as meeting without his own translator? For so many reasons this is a terrible idea.

Why would Trump meet with the Russian ambassador and tell him Comey is taken care of? And do this secretly? Why would Trump have an insult for every US ally and not a single bad word about Russia?

I challenge you right now to find me a single bad word Trump has said about Russia.
by "preventable" I presume you mean prevented by relinquishing all citizens rights and the rights of their descendents permanently to the government.

My only Facebook account has entirely fake data. I use it to coordinate events with a dozen real-life friends. Facebook still manages to suggest new friends that have no obvious relationship to anyone I am friends with.

It is creepy, but I can't help but step back and marvel at the technical achievement.

I’m not sure where I fit into this equation. My employer is paying for me to get a CS M.Eng in ML/AI on the side while I work. I’m learning way more than I would have bothered - or had the hardware and guidance - to learn on my own, like parallel processing, CAD, 3D printing, and eventually robotics.

I don’t have much interest in a CS MS. I don’t really see the point of it. If my degree goes well and after a few more years in the field I decide I want to specialize much further, I’ll just get a Ph.D.

A lot of digital ink was spent on this issue. Basically it is due to the fact that the Slack app uses Electron, and thus it is not much more than a Chromium browser with several loaded webpages.
Seven Pinker is a Jewish Comedian in the Shakespearean way. His books have a happy ending. He makes the world a better place through taking something that seems incongruous and makes it fit. So yeah he helps with my depression in a personal and discomfiting way - he is the cognitive behavioral therapist for the world. Re-framing debates - so you are worried about Nuclear power - how often are we really hurt by it.. You are worried your husband will start a war or cheat on you Ms. Trump.. well war is illegal and he is already cheated so we can work towards a resolution. - So it takes real self-evaluation to change - how many people are sick every day because someone does not wash his hands at Chipotle but so many people do wash their hands. What can I do to be a better human in the context of optimism I can try to be kind to be respectful and treat every human with dignity and consideration. I can ask my legislators to not spend money and time on killing people because its not helpful. I can do this.. it does matter and I can.. I can and that is the real gift that Dr. Pinker gives the less educated and less brilliant a voice. It is for all of us - the overly wealthy and the guy who has no 401k and a $100 of twitter stock in Robinhood. You can see how reason makes a difference - how Might and Money does not make right only gets you more Facebook ads. That Greenpeace really is a club for wealthy scions of wealth to wealth about in boats but fur is... kind of icky. But beef is yummy and we will figure out how to grow it more humanely because we want to.
No they can’t. No 3rd party apps can read call logs and messages. 1st party (Apple’s) can.

I agree with you and Regehr. As a longtime IT hiring manager I have noticed that candidates with a coursework-only MS do no better in screening interviews than those with a BS degree, but applicants with a research-based MS fared much better. It is rare to be able to see the distinction based on resume alone, but it comes out clearly in interviews when we ask about their Master's work and focus.

Our oldest son earned a Master's degree in CS from the same school where Regehr teaches and did the research path. He now works at Google. His program was the most difficult thing he has ever done and it prepared him well for his career.
You bring forth a compelling theory, but I don't think it's true. Compare the market for contraband or counterfeited booze and cigarettes, which "mirrors" legal booze and cigarettes, with the market for cocaine and heroin, where "all the surrounding paraphernalia is direct evidence".
iOS doesn’t offer that capability. The closest thing is CallKit which allows a voip app like WhatsApp to write calls into the system call log.

OK, so not quite free. I stand corrected, thanks :) In Poland anyway there's no tuition fee - at public universities, of course.

I should think this goes without saying... No free lunches for students, either ;)
In my opinion, the goal of "progress" is exactly to enable the situation of being an "eternal student". Not to constantly manufacture new cogs for the "economy", but to allow anyone to become the better version of themselves.

What you point out as an issue, I see as a sign we have reached a good point in human history. (a good point, but not the end, of course issues exists, but as long as we don't mark them as "Working as intended" or "WONTFIX"...)

Sanders outspent Clinton but Clinton (like Trump) was a well known and established public figure reaping in huge benefits from free media coverage.

You need to think about these things in nuance rather than just looking at hard numbers.

People say Sanders got crushed by Clinton, ignoring the media blackout on his campaign for the first half of the primary and the fact that he started in the low single digits for name ID and ended with 45% of the votes.

Context matters.

I remember hearing this when I was at Travelocity. "uggghhh, they are being a bottleneck". The easiest solution to this is to vocalize and advocate for best practices. If doing that crushes a project timeline then make the product owner or project manager accountable for defying product quality in email. The old "I want that in writing".

If the product is crap in production everybody will be harmed, but at least you might have a get out of jail card. When I have pulled this in the past it serves as a forcing function for decision makers to revisit their poorly conceived decisions. For some reason it is so much easier to make bad decisions and order the consequences of such across an organization than it is to simply own it.
It most certainly is for an indeterminate number of people.

I'm very sympathetic to Aaronson's position in this review, but I think these two comments reveal the problematic aspect of his position:

* In his mind (and that of many others) the Enlightenment is about this special group of people who bestowed gifts on normals. I'm sure he'd challenge that characterisation, but I think that's what it amounts to. So instead of this idea being inclusive it becomes an us and them, in which the us is constantly expecting gratitude, while slightly missing the fact that society as a whole always has to be the enabler for what they do - even when it appears to be resisting them!

* That aggressive mistranslation explains away the other POV. I think there is mistranslation but let's ask WHY intelligent people are doing that: because they believe that Pinker (et al) have a dangerous subtext, or that their ideas trend in a specific direction. And there is something in that because consider the tension Aaronson feels: he agrees with Pinker that what happened in the past is good, but feels it is leading to disaster. So - if it was so good - why have we ended up in such a bad place? Enlightment people cannot simply say: "it's not our fault we've tried to stop this". They need to accept that maybe something in their ideas and way of approaching things is part of the problem.
I genuinely thought this would be about the trend of developers with no security mindset flowing into Ethereum building all kinds of insecure apps, or those who build very superficial "DApp"s to make some bucks overnight, flip, and disappear, or those who write just enough code (in most cases copy and paste an open source contract someone else wrote, just enough to receive Ether) to run a scam ICO and disappear.

It wasn't.

But I think it's a good term for that use case :)
I'm not really sure what Canada can do about this. Maybe make startup equity crazily low taxed?
I've mostly worked in offices. Most of them involved unreasonable time pressure-- someone will be mad if you're even 2 minutes 'late', and your time spent available for incoming work can be tracked to the second (and commented on in employee reviews). Involved managers who build healthy teams are too often punished rather than rewarded for it. You are also surrounded by people who, despite these conditions, apparently have sufficient free time to try to pull you into whatever local politics, gossip or sidechannel recruiting they feel like.

Between all that garbage and a commute which was a little too long & dangerous for my mental health, I quit.

To make ends meet, I ended up cleaning offices much like the ones I previously worked in. No one cares if I'm a few minutes late, as long as the work gets done. My goals are literally visible and easily measurable. When I'm done, I'm done, and as you say, I don't take my work home. People universally appreciate what I'm doing and tend to smile at me. I can confirm I have spare brain cycles for new ideas, as well. I definitely think people benefit from having some kind of tangible, repetitive work like this in their lives.

Yeah, the pay sucks, and I'm still trying to find that holy grail of a 'good developer job', but I am doing it on my terms now. In the mean time, my day to day life is significantly happier and more manageable. Sometimes, if the office is empty, I even sing.

With budget constraints I don’t see how the iPad can compete with cheaper alternatives. The only real advantage I see for the iPad over Chromebook in the education market is that one can digitally markup documents on the iPad and take handwritten notes on it.

It would be nice if the college required their usage but there aren’t enough compelling reasons to do so at this time. I’m skeptical that there will be enough after Tuesday’s event.

> There's just so much gatekeeping and pissing contest stuff that goes on in STEM, and it drives me crazy sometimes.

That is because too many people are insecure and evaluating who is good and who is bad is very subjective. We like to pretend it is objective, but the older I am the less I believe so. Moreover, programming is not one job, but multiple different jobs that require different skill sets, different aptitudes and different personality types.

Combine that together and you have perfect environment for bullshit gatekeeping and pissing contests.
This! People think it's just a "Facebook problem". It's not. Many services work in a similar way, FB just one of the high-profile ones.

It's probably an access point/ip based thing.

If you make a new friend(s) and visit them (before adding them on FB) and use their home wi-fi to access to FB, they will almost instantly appear on the "friend suggestions" list. I experienced this (and heard about from people I know) several times when I used to have a FB account.

104 MB at the moment. For me at least, Slack really got their shit together sometime last year and improved the issue significantly. I still remember having to restart Slack twice a day, but it ain't issue anymore.
I "deleted" my FB more than 8 years ago, but since it was not possible to actually delete the data it was only disabled. In January I decided to re-activate it to get in touch with old acquaintances. Surprisingly, all of my pictures, contacts, and other interactions were there. Even a pending friend request was pending for 8 years.

Maybe I shouldn't be surprised, though, because FB stated clearly that you cannot delete your data. I just didn't believe they would keep it for so long. It felt weird.

Edit: Just a fun addition, I also made a fake account to promote Youtube videos against FB's EULA. To get more viewers I thought it might be a good idea to make arbitrary friend requests and must have had a certain tendency to click on attractive women. Curiously, at least half of them accepted immediately. One week later I got spammed with friend request of two kinds:

(a) Asian manufacturing sites offering all kinds of machinery and services. Most of them from China, but also some in other countries.

(b) Women posting half-naked pictures of themselves on FB, apparently doing that for a living.

None of them were my target audience. I guess successful FB marketing is more complicated.

The Android Facebook messenger is pure cancer. It will hijack the default SMS application and scrape all available information to the mothership. I mostly stopped responding to Facebook messages and refuse to acknowledge it as a legitimate way to contact me.

But if you absolutely need to use the messenger, I recommend using a Hermit lite application, that hocks into the web version of the messenger and leaks no more info than any other web Facebook session.

You can use Hermit to replace many proprietary bloated apps, and even create pseudo "apps" for sites that don't feature one, like this site, with a nice icon on your desktop.
