the big difference being that the obama data was harvested via an app branded by obama campaign with the specific purpose being to help the obama campaign... vs a quiz app unrelated to politics where participants were paid small amounts to use, and thus pull data on their social network

the first is explicitly political; the second is actively hiding their intentions

*edit: also they used the data very differently. obama used it to push people’s hopes and dreams; trump used it to push people’s fears. overall, obamas campaign was FAR more positive than trumps
According to my reading of it, there is an update-all operation. It has just been separated out in an attempt to give the user control over initiating it.

But I agree that procrastinating on updates creates problems. (At some point, the entire point of version pinning is to allow you the choice to defer, but it's still a problem.)

I think it might be worth exploring reporting as a solution. Everyone knows that old versions are a problem, but what if I had tools to tell me how bad or good the situation is for my project at this moment? And what if they ran by default either periodically or as part of my build or both?

Examples of stuff it could tell me:

* Am I one minor version behind on this one library and it doesn't matter?

* Or am I a major version behind on this other library and I'm using code that isn't even supported or maintained?

* Are there security fixes that I haven't taken?

* Are there libraries that have security fixes but no release is available yet?

* How about a list of libraries that I'm not on the latest minor version of AND the latest version has been available for more than 2 weeks? (Maybe I don't want to fall behind but I don't want to be a guinea pig either.)

* Or a list of libraries that I'm not on the latest major version of and a newer major version has been available for 6 months?

Since this is important, it would be great to have real visibility into it. Right now, every build I've ever done, this is just something that people track in their heads and just assume they have a good handle on. Doing regular releases and always taking the latest version of everything helps somewhat, but sometimes a release gets canceled. Or maybe there's a system that isn't being regularly worked on and doesn't have regular releases, yet dependencies are being updated, it is behind, but by how much?

Good explanations here but it's mostly due to relative valuation and this is magnified by the fact that a lot of these big names are cross-listed among hundreds and thousands of ETFs. I cannot stress enough the impact ETFs and so called "smart" beta trading will have in the next couple of years.

I would love to see Tesla demonstrate that their Superchargers are anywhere near super enough. A couple days ago, I supercharged at the “120 kW” Tesla factory in Fremont. For quite a few minutes, I got 23kW. After a while, it went up to 50kW or so. I checked the other car sharing my charger, and the total was well under 120kW. I suspect the station has an overall power limit. Also, there was a line.

For trucks, you need something like a megawatt to recharge on a lunch break, and a line blows the whole thing up.

For me, the key point of sharing documents in google docs is that it solves the simultaneous editing problem, which simple file sharing (Dropbox and others) does not.

You can easily have three people editing the same paragraph in google docs; whether libreoffice online is a viable alternative depends on how it handles that.
I've been putting off posting this for months because when I write it, it seems grandiose but it's been my life and it's too ridiculous not to share.

I was born in 80 so that dates me. I've worked in music for the last 20 years and I've worked with over 60 bands most of whom are very successful now. However that number is misleading because I've toured with hundreds of bands if you count the openers and headliners over the years. It's stupid really when I look back on it. Once when I was 25 I used my network to start a music festival with no money that's been going on for the last 10 years and has never had less than 50k people attend. Anyways long story short most people don't understand marketing. But when you're touring you're living it. I remember when the words taste maker started getting thrown around. I remember when gorilla marketing became a thing... Because the marketing people would all be coming to our shows and our parties and sponsoring us. All of this to say that

We were early adopters of Friendster, when they killed the bulletin board my friends and I moved to MySpace, when MySpace got over crowded we moved to Facebook, when our families friends got on Facebook we left for Twitter and reddit, the less public of us left Twitter almost immediately but our pr teams stayed, when Obama won in 08 we left reddit. Many of us went to snapchat and we all use Instagram even though we hate it. There was a minor period when we thought google + was going to serve us but that lasted exactly one day.

What we desperately want is a decentralized encrypted locally hosted application that has exactly one killer simple feature. A bulletin board to post events. That's it. A simple way to keep in touch with each other and local ownership of our photos and videos. Sure to reduce bandwidth we'd be fine with our friends or fans hosting encrypted files on their devices but that's as far as they go. Do that, slap an easy to use interface on it, don't have advertising call it something literal like friends torrent or something and we'll never have another Facebook. If you want to monotize it... Give it a market place. But if you take anything from this rant it should be this, your tastemakers aren't faceless nameless statistics they're real people and they're friends with each other. We know who we are and we are and have been paying attention.

Very few people dispute that countries have the right to control their borders. But that doesn’t mean countries have the right to do whatever they want in order to do so, any more than a country’s right to punish murderers means the police can randomly search people’s houses to look for murderers.

Using "in-band" here doesn't really follow from a technical understanding of the term; the TCP connection is the channel, and anything sent over it (such as an entire HTTP request/response, including headers) is "in-band".

Out-of-band would be a phone call, or perhaps an email - an entirely alternate method of communication.

Transparency to a user (via the client, i.e. browser) isn't really relevant, from a communications standpoint, to whether or not data is considered "out-of-band". Given the subject (APIs), you're not likely to be browsing to these anyway.

LibreOffice Online is a viable alternative in my opinion. It integrates with NextCloud and allows you to easily share and collaborate. You can even get a "share link" for your documents like in Google Docs.
There are some caveats though. Latency is unacceptable. Google Docs renders documents client side allowing characters that you type to immediately echo to the screen. LibreOffice renders documents server side with a noticeable lag.
LibreOffice has the benefit of better interoperability with MS Word than Google Docs has.

I would also recommend trying OnlyOffice as some have recommended.
AFAICT, the “brake” was a rough pad attached to the surface of the slide, designed to slow the raft as it crested a hill. It wasn’t a user-operable brake. See page 4 of the indictment.

The human brain is buggy, we're glorified monkeys. You can't tackle societal problems by saying that we need to fix the brains.

I think you are looking at the debt wrong. It isn't evidence of strained resources, it accumulates when the government tries to generate extra productivity over what the economy would produce without it.

> Arendt argues it was not the penetration of public power into private life that made totalitarian rule possible, but the loss of public space and the banishment of citizens from public world into private life is what responsible for the phenomenon we called totalitarianism.

In all the the accounts of people in Nazi Germany I read, I encountered people looking away left, right and center ("If only Führer knew [he would be shocked]" in response to the Reichskristallnacht, as just one example). Like many German people pretended Hitler wouldn't actually be as bad as he promised repeatedly he would be, even Europe as a whole pretended e.g. there wouldn't be actually war until right before it happened. People were in denial and looking the other way all over.

> These were the circumstances that shaped NSDAP.

I'd rather say Adolf Hitler's lunacy and the people he surrounded himself shaped the NSDAP. Hysteric alienation, "nihilism made movement" to paraphrase Sebastian Haffner, and action for the sake of action might be mistake for opposites of apathy, as many people demonstrate here. But opposite of apathy would be more things awareness and responsibility, critical thinking, empathy, which were to to Nazi Germany like oil to water.

Neat. Belkin was pretty crap about 7 years or so ago but they raised their game I find in the last couple years. They are pretty solid with decent prices now.

I think there is a pretty good market for smart home accessories, various wifi enabled devices like powerstrips, lights, cameras, locks, alarm systems, etc. With Belkin's Walmart distribution network and their low costs, I think it may be something they could target well.
Maybe this was true two years ago, but I do not feel it is the case any longer.
That doesn't sound right to me. Both UK and Netherlands' most expensive plans are cheaper than most plans in the US I've seen. Looking at Three, now it costs £15 for 12GB (reduced speed afterwards), but 4 years back I had an £8 unlimited (or maybe I just never hit the limit) plan.

Now I spend ~$80 with Google Fi, but I could rely exclusively on wifi and reduce that to ~$20/30. Every other american company seems to want to extract >$80 per month from you.

What an incredibly misguided comment.

Microsoft is a major player in the business software market, and there's no sign that will change anytime soon.

Sure, Windows is not a growth center, but it's still a huge business and will continue to be for several years. Meanwhile Office 365 is adequately protecting their productivity business, and Azure is growing at an enormous rate.

Most importantly, Microsoft has a massive home advantage when selling to businesses. They are the masters of cross-selling, and unlike consumer companies like Google, they know how to compete in markets without winner-takes-all outcomes (enterprise buyers, unlike consumers, know how to play vendors against each other to limit lock-in).

As long as they deliver good enough products, it will be very hard to uproot them.
I'm replying to the dead comment.

The Facebook site is evil and should be destroyed because of 2 reasons, in my opinion.

Firstly, the news feed is solely designed to get you to stay on the site for longer. And what that means is you get an echo chamber. So, idiot people get idiot posts that agree with them. It's not just a problem on one side of the political spectrum, it's a problem for any extreme view. Anti-vaxxers, left wing communists, and right wing fascists all get into their echo chamber and never get out.

Secondly, the advertising platform that Facebook has created is too powerful. It lets you micro-target people in a way that is absolutely perfect for political ads. You find people vulnerable to an emotional message and bombard them with your emotionally responsive ads.

Facebook ads are good for non-political things as well, but in this case, we'll have to throw the baby out with the bathwater I think.
Thank you. And yes while 26000 emails would drive me nuts lets not forget there are so many people out there it would not bother that it's actually a big 5 personality trait - conscientiousness. Those who score low or even middle may not police their email or consider inbox zero a worthwhile goal or use of their time.

I personally put in a script that archives all email after 7 days. I figure if I haven't read it in that time period it's not worth while. Keeps my inbox quite small and no policing required :)
But you present generalizations and assumptions specific to the scenarios that you describe without facts to back them up. The responder above presents a valid scenario that is no different than 15-20 years ago, college women with proper skills/looks/aptitude, might go work at the few strip clubs/bikini bars in the Bay Area while going to college.

I recall, while in college, being surprised by the roommate of a friend (who was a very good student) pulling in what was more than the highest CS grad made out of school when I graduated.

Exploitation is one thing, but this immediate jump to everything is exploitation is what leads to things like this particular law getting passed. Generalizations without facts.
