I mean I'm just working with the data as presented. We can and should look for confounding influences - hence why reproducability is so important. However a mean 2.7x rate increase is not trivial if we start thinking about possible epidemiological impacts.

If anything this warrants replication.
Thank you so much for you support!

We are not doing that at the moment but would love to hear more about it.
Yeah, the bankers made out like bandits on this one.

I mean, Germany does this on the autobahn. I can't really find any mortality data for the autobahn though. Also, German driving laws are fairly more strict than in the US.
Facebook can be an essential promotional tool for many. If you're rich or an already successful company, then you can handle the loss by not being on Facebook. But if you're poor or just starting up a new venture, then it is harder to afford not being on Facebook.
We looked at one for our son while we were backpacking. The advice I received was you can’t. Without a wireless connection it is totally useless.

In our case we were 3 weeks at sea with only email access.
I've never really thought to use nested functions for that. I guess I've never really thought of what nested functions were for.
people always say this during IPO... you need to take volume into account.

What is the volume trading at 44% above the opening price?

When you put $700mm of securities on the market you need to price them low enough so that investors hold.
Cambridge Analytica isn't the first incidence where Facebook was used for political purposes. Obama Campaign Manager Jim Messina explains their use of it in 2013:

With all the backlash, I really wonder if Facebook will give EU citizens the option to delete their data but not American citizens.

GPRD couldn't come at a worse time for them...
but you know that actually deleting a page simply sets a isDeleted=true flag in a database right? It's not removing your data from facebook, it's denying other users' access to your data in protest. Deleting everything on your account does the same thing, plus you can leave an anti-facebook message on your account to spread the message. It's the equivalent of sticking a new message over a billboard instead of just burning the thing down - it's more clearly attributable to an act of protest and you can tell people why they should boycott facebook at the same time.
”If you are overweight and unhealthy in general, that in general you will have more instances of every disease?”

I don’t think there’s an agreed upon testable definition of “healthy” that’s substantially different from “free of disease”. That makes that statement trivially true. That’s part of the reason these experts are so careful in the conclusions they draw.

And smoking doesn’t _cause_ cigarettes, it destroys them ;-)
Given how hard it is to pin down the nature of consciousness, I can't imagine it would be productive to discuss consciousness without explicitly considering its definition. If you want to defend a position, you have to make clear what that position is. If you're writing about the Enlightenment, of course you have to know what it was.
6 to 8 hours most days.

At times, I will do 4 to 5 hours when I'm really into something.

If I don't abuse that, it works fine.

When I do, it takes a little while, many 8 to 10 hour sleep days to recover.

I think it's worth bringing up, one of the reasons I didn't buy a Tesla was because I didn't want the CEO immediately blabbing all over twitter about exactly how fast I was driving or how many times I left my lane if there happened to be some sort of accident.

They seem to take the same attitude as Facebook, mainly: we own all your data and you have zero rights to anything in the car.
This is precisely the opposite of true. Boycotts almost never have any effect; the impossible coordination problem they impose is why we need governments and regulation instead.
Hanlon's Razor: Relax, Not Everything Is Out to Get You
We would need to create some tests and simulations, passing this tests will not imply that the systems are safe but failing them would prevent any broken attempt to be approved for testing.

IF the sensors would be standard maybe we could create fake inputs and test different situation in a simulation, have some basic unit tests, now I am afraid that this companies are just tweaking things, something that today works tomorrow after an update may not work.
Sure you can. Ask every lawyer or stockbroker that can no longer work in their field due to shady or illegal behavior.
By visible I meant visible to active sensors like radar and lidar. This is the second part of my original response to you, and why I then said the pedestrian was unoccluded. Sorry that was unclear. Also sorry you're so frustrated.

Hi Justin.

It's not that I disagree. In fact, I too believe it to be intrinsically hypocritical than not the more I've re-read it since I posed my initial question. HOWEVER, how we talk about things can be colored by our choice of words. The original poster is correct, but offers no examples from the case document. I believe when we state what we believe to be true, but don't support it directly may be somewhat counter productive to the more open discussion. I appreciate your feedback.

Devils advocate: Mincing words and dancing around language can sometimes lead us away from solutions or understanding. I'm taking a risk. :)
You hint at this, but I think it’s worth explicitly mentioning that “race” as most people understand it, and “race” as an objective, genetic categorization, are two extremely different things.

Examples: there is more genetic diversity among Africans (and thus ought to be more races among them) than in the rest of the world combined. A large number of “African Americans” have more European ancestry than African. The previous President was almost always referred to as “black” even though his mother was white, echoing the old “one drop” rules.
They have a good product, no doubt - also interesting that "Box" stock has dropped some as of this hour.

However, to become the next giant, I would imagine they need to branch out and gain traction for tangential products. They've tried (dropbox paper) but not sure it has enough market share to make a dent just yet.
> As the only party other than Trustico® with access to the serial numbers for each certificate, only DigiCert® was able to undertake a match of the keys provided to issued certificates (by reference to serial numbers). Trustico® believes there were no security concerns for customers in what it did. Providing the private key and serial number would have been a security concern; the provision of one but not the other did not present a risk;

Uhm.. what??

Leaving aside the "it's okay we compromised the PRIVATE key because.." bit of this, is there something I'm missing here? You can extract the public key and fingerprint from a private key, so ... it's trivial to match based on that, right? Is there any merit to this statement whatsoever?
I'm curious which docs you are talking about. The Python standard library has much less examples than Rust's in my experience. numpy has excellent documentation, but that's some library.

Also, I don't see the redundancy you are talking about. There is no overloading, except for traits, and for those the documentation is in one place and all the implementations are just listed, which seems pretty minimal to me.

> because one has sleep debt that is being paid back

Is there any concrete scientific evidence that one can 'cheat' during the week sleeping only 4, 5 hours and then catch up and pay the 'sleep debt' over the weekend?

I've seen 1 off 'research' articles that this is possible but I'm not buying it.
I'm going to carry on smiling at people, irrespective of gender. Sorry.
You could just use macros or typedefs for the the (u)intXX_t types.
What do you mean by successful? Usually the point is not to dent revenue, it's to cause behaviour change. And there is a long list of boycotts that have achieved that. http://www.ethicalconsumer.org/boycotts/successfulboycotts.a...

On the contrary, you are sidestepping the issue. There is a difference between, on the one hand, discussing what troubles you about a work, and on the other, attributing that which troubles you to that work (and its author), without justification.

On the subject of sidestepping the question, you have still not explained why responders are absolved from the burden of precision that you have put on the creators of original works.
First it used to be excitement, then "love to hate" with increased utility but ads, but then your parents and other family started joining and it became a chore and "meh".

The dilution of your newsfeed and privacy issues highlighted meant you got more for your money from Instagram/Snapchat/Whatsapp and you got better responses from tweeting your issues with @company. Most folks I knew at this point either claimed they didn't use FB regularly (ie, they probably still did but maybe only by habit) or just for FB messenger.

All the while the slow drip drip of privacy issues eroded trust.

So we're at the point where if you haven't dropped, the utility can be elsewhere and there's no love lost if you drop FB. FB is in Uber-territory here, some don't mind - but you no longer get weird looks when you tell someone you shut down your FB account. In fact, it's often a good conversation starter.
> Governments realize how disruptive tech can be to entrenched power structures.

These regs will likely turn technology into yet another entrenched power structure. You won't be able to bootstrap a video hosting service as easily anymore if you need to provide a lot of moderation services, hire a legal team to keep you above board on all the requirements, etc.

There might not be another facebook or google if you need facebook or google money to even get started.

This is actually an interesting open question, known as Peto's paradox [1]. The "hypertumors" hypothesis is especially fun - a tumor has to get really big to affect something the size of a whale, and a tumor that big needs a fair amount of internal structure to support it, and tumor cells have a demonstrated tendency to misbehave already, so the tumors get cancer of their own and die before they can get big enough to affect the host.

An average of 7 hours per day over a running 3 days. If I know I need to wake up a bit earlier, I do (prompted by sunlight) and if I know I can have a couple more hours in bed (prompted by sunlight, but checking the clock when intitially waking).

This is complimented by opportunities in the day. Shuttle bus rides between offices (about an hour) - sometimes happy to doze, sometimes in email; after lunch straight back at desk with/without office banter, sometimes in a quiet corner having a snooze.

I am also in a consulting role now, but have been with the team for a year+ and have become a piece of the furniture. Having a kip during work hours is bonding! Taste your team and see of the fit you make.
Come on, you know very well that most clients don't support this.

What you said is also misleading. Hunter gatherers could live as long as people live today, but they frequently did not. Murder rates among hunter gatherers are insanely high. And there are all manner of disease that are no longer fatal, but once were. Heck, I've had several infections in my own life that would have been catastrophic 100 years ago.
Yep. Cashing out while they can, obviously.
I don't think there needs to be any justification for sleeping more than others report.

My 2 kids average 10-11 hours and sometimes I'll go to bed and wake up at the same time as them. Normally I do about 8 to get some time for side projects or other things, but I usually need around 9 to really feel refreshed.
Indiana - NCAA, GenCon etc threatening to leave over the religious freedom law. It worked. Pence was forced to amend it - weakening it.

I'm not even interested in slingshots, but I still watch Joerg Sprave occasionally, just because his raw enthusiasm actually comes through the screen. He's a slingshot hacker, and clearly loves what he does. If his channel were removed, we would all be poorer for it. Also, he would be an awesome Batman accessory character--villain or ally, I don't care.

I'm reasonably certain the same would apply for gun enthusiasts, or the people who make archery equipment out of hardware store stuff like PVC pipe and fiberglass rods.

And from that perspective, this content-based discrimination seems a lot like bullying. You don't like the same things I like, so I use my power to ban you from my social circle forever. The popular kid is uninviting the nerd kid from their party.

They are also uninviting the creepy psycho kid at the same time, of course. No one's quite sure what to do about that one yet, they just don't want to be too close--physically or emotionally--when whatever it is actually happens.

One thing I think a lot of people don't realize is that the more specific a law is, the more it becomes like a zero-tolerance policy. Allowing for ambiguity, as you said, allows for the law to be enforced with context.

A contrived example: I could try to look up some tax information on the IRS website. An error occurs, and the server spits out a bunch of log data not meant for the public. This data happens to contain sensitive URLs. I navigate to one, and it gives me unfettered access to the server. So long as I stop here and report it, I should be in the clear.

I don't. I look around a bit to see if I can help include additional details when I contact the proper person. I haven't actually done anything bad per se, but now I'm knowingly accessing a government computer system without proper authorization. A law with proper specificity would say that I should be jailed for looking around. Common sense says that though I should have close the tab, but I was only doing my best to help. And since I never did anything detrimental, I should be in the clear.
Outrage over Indiana's "religious freedom" act led to several threatened pullouts and changes in the law.
Mostly agree, but there's a middleground between the ambiguities OP raises and mandating a hash algorithm. Legislators sure do know their limits; they know that laws that are not narrowly scoped remove a lot of limits on the enforcers.
Well gcc cannot know if your signed with unsigned comparison is going to blow up on a critical path of a security related function.
Oh. For a similar reason (nobody reads your code unless they're looking at a problem): describe your piece of code in plain english. If you can make the code work the way you just described it, the code will age better.

(It might not be the fastest, but everyone will know if it's correct. When you're hunting for a bug it's important how quickly you can eliminate false positives to get to the real culprit. And you can make good code fast but you can't make fast code good.)
That the big tech companiea are liberal seems to be one of the things most "conservatives" and "liberals" on HN agree on :-)

As for why it was downvoted I guess a number of people on both sides found it to be plain false and maybe also someone though it was a deliberate misrepresentation of the situation.

Instead of staying up late because I'm excited about a project, I wake up earlier for it.

I'm poor and starting a new venture. I don't have FB. If my success depends on me/my company having FB presence, then my business sucks.
How this idea of FB being the "place to be" got so much traction is beyond me.
"The problem is that the vast majority of managers will ask you why you're in such a hurry to leave. It's only 8 o'clock and I'm still here. Are you implying that your business is more important than mine? Everyone else is staying here, so why are you leaving so soon? You know, if you keep leaving early, our division might not do well enough and we can't pay bonuses (which are really a full month's income that we deduct from your normal pay hold over your head for times like this). Is your wife asking you to come home early? I don't think a woman like that is good for you."

Wow. There's no other way to say it: Those people are straight up evil.
There is no recipe to what is right for everyone. It is your life so you decide what that recipe is. Some people are happy alone, some with people. Some people love maintaining all their stuff some want simplicity. There is no magic mental kingdom. Remember that one mental model you choose in one situation cant be adequate in another situation.
It's incredibly expensive to do this. Most people can't afford it especially since one of the parents generally has to spend most of their time with the child forgoing work.

Yes, there are programs in most states to help the parents in this sort of situation, but most of these programs let the benefits run out when the child reaches around 21-25 years of age.

Talking about Facebook on Twitter seems to be the height of irony...

No, no, we don't ban money, we just move to systems where the government gets to monitor all your financial transactions in real time and they get to selectively block those they don't find morally wholesome.
Reminds me of a quote from a previous thread:

Electric chainsaws!
Most people spend a little bit more than half of their time working, and the rest of their time aggressively not working. For most people, the distinction between public and private self is the most important one in their lives.
Facebook pages are in and of themselves avenues for marketing. Stop being so damn cynical about every single thing people do. It is possible, believe it or not, for people to have personal values and beliefs that extend beyond the ceaseless desire for money.
Does it matter? Connections are connections.

Again, if you think you can do it without them, go for it!
Bingo. Almost as if a philosophy of property rights and political autonomy for the white male bourgeoisie is a byproduct of the rise of the bourgeoisie as an economic class, rather than its cause.
That's very interesting. The Rainforest Connection system has the ability to detect more than only chainsaws, so it could be really interesting to learn more from the datasets; we'll look into that. Thanks so much for sharing!
