I feel the lawsuit has merit because Facebook acted in bad-faith with the permissions that they were given.

For example, if I say yes to the "Allow Facebook to access your pictures" prompt when I want to send a single picture to a group chat, then I expect Facebook to simply use the permission to accomplish the task I wanted to do and send the single picture.

Instead Facebook takes that permission, scans every single picture on my phone and sends back data so Facebook can do facial recognition or any other type of image analysis.

We give Facebook an inch and they are taking miles.
On my 4k screen this landing page is a complete disaster.
And you appear to be a (probably unwitting) agent of US propaganda.

Edit: I'm getting down voted to hell, so I'll clarify: the narrative that Assange is a Russian agent is absolutely US propaganda. The US government has been smearing Assange and Wikileaks for at least 8 years, and was even caught red-handed hiring Palantir and HBGary to enact a media and infiltration campaign to destroy Wikileaks:

You mean everyone in your region. Nobody I knew was on AIM. Everyone was on MSN Messenger.
Without delving too deeply in to it, it seems google is reflecting existing biases society-wide.

This is problematic in the same way as facebook’s echo chamber effect, that it can cause a feedback loop that reinforces and heightens bias and division.

Beyond that though, I think it gets gnarly how much we want Google to fix the world by tweaking their algorithms. We obviously want something thoughtful. At the same time I don’t think we should lay all the world’s problems at google’s feet.
I don't think that the fact that there _is_ theater renders the underlying struggle worthless, though. Words have meanings, and in the case of law, quite serious repercussions - eg. corporate personhood.

It's not so much "you shouldn't use that word in that manner because of some linguistic pedantry" but "you shouldn't use that word because the externalities of doing so have outsized effects on certain people," or for the self-centered and machiavellian, "you make yourself look bad when you use it such."

As you say, it is a matter of empathy. The N-word has been around for a while - it's still not acceptable for certain people to say it[0]. As for why, that's a matter of education, and it begins with pointing it out.

From the Wikipedia article [0] on NGC 1052:

NGC 1052 shows also two small jets emerging from its
nucleus as well as a very extended disc of neutral
hydrogen, far larger than the galaxy itself,
all these features suggesting a gas-rich galaxy
collided and merged with it 1 billion years ago
producing all the above features.

Is it possible that NGC 1052-DF2 is simply the remnant of the aforementioned gas-rich galaxy suspected of having collided with NGC 1052, and that the apparent dark matter deficiency is a result of that collision?

Or do we know what happens when galaxies collide well enough to conclude with reasonable certainty that this is not the case?

FWIW, I was wanting to play with native modules locally using files loaded directly in browser instead of a local Node instance.

That's about impossible in Chrome (in my experience and as per SO answers) and trivially easy in Safari.

Not that spinning up node is really any slower when you take into account auto-reload capabilities.
That's a very good point. I chose Rust more to get ergonomics and more reliable threading - security was not the primary motivation. That said, the encoder is exposed directly to the web via the MediaRecorder API.

I immediately unfollow or unfriend people who post things like this. I also use the News Feed Eradicator extension. The result is that my mobile feed is full of happy baby photos, and my desktop feed is completely blank.
I don't think there's a clear answer as to what Google SHOULD show for "unprofessional hairstyles." The article shows a screenshot of it showing a lot of normal-looking black women with natural hair, which of course shouldn't be considered unprofessional. But it's definitely true that society has a racist approach to black women's hair, and doesn't consider it "beautiful" unless it's straightened. Hence nearly all famous black women straighten their hair.

Should Google show black women's natural hair in the results for "unprofessional hairstyles" to accurately reflect society's unfair attitudes towards black women's hair? Or should they show actual unprofessional hairstyles like giant mohawks etc.? Or should they show a message saying "No hairstyle is unprofessional. Be who you want to be."?
Yes, but the wrong one can be 100x the failure. This goes for all leadership positions.
It's not even the local ip of your home network. It's the ip of the tunnel interface. I don't know how this can be misused. It's only on firefox though. On chromium, it just shows 0.0.0.0 instead.
that's what Frank Herbert theorized with CHOAM Company in Dune. Eventually one company managed everything from food stuffs to military kit to intergalactic space engine fuel. I think they even set the contracts for the pilot's guild, and do orbital surveillance, so it's not just goods but services.

Seems realistic to me, when capitalism stops working as envisaged by its own founder, because the mechanism of the state gets bought out by the capitalists, and isn't enforcing anti-trust laws or competition.
This makes me wonder what the normal error bars are for how much dark matter is in galaxies. Do we often see galaxies with 75-125% as much dark matter as our models expect? Or maybe 99-101%, or even 10-1000%? How far off of the expected value does it take to become noteworthy?

That said, that this is a headline at all tells me it's probably closer to the 99-101 case than the 10-1000 case. Given that, this seems to be the tipping to some breakthroughs, because my sense has always been that we have really little idea what dark matter is.

Edit: Through a bit of link hopping, I found this paper [1]. Based on Figure 11 in that paper, it seems that there's a relatively small error bar around the expected ratios of dark matter to baryonic matter. At the very least, the error bar is narrow enough that this new galaxy would be well outside it.

But I don't have any formal astrophysics training, so I'd love to be corrected.

TLDR (SPOILERS);

He was the co creator and him and the main creator couldn't make money from the title because it was made in Russia on work equipment. They later moved to the US and started a new company. The main creator later got ownership of the Tetris title when the copyright expired and so he started a company with it. The co-creator stayed at the other company, which was eventually floundering. He used a knife and hammer to kill his wife, 12-year old son, then himself. Two weeks later the floundering company was offered an influx of money.
I remember moving to FB when my mom joined MySpace... I've since straight up quit social media, but I know folks that moved on to IG/Snap so they could broadcast content they didn't want certain social groups to see via FB. Of course now those social groups are joining the newer mediums.

Maybe social media platforms are inherently cyclical? At least under the "maximum growth" mindset:

* Innovators develop new platforms because they're unhappy with the old

* Early adopters like the new platform's features or community

* If it's good enough, the early majority slowly follows as knowledge disseminates

* New features and narratives are developed to attract the late majority and laggards

* The presence of those people, and tactics used to attract them, disenfranchise the early adopters

* Unhappiness rises until a new digital eden is discovered. Then the cycle repeats
I'm trying to set up a cluster in our development environment to play around with in preparation for rolling it to staging and production. So, minikube I have ruled out because it doesn't prove out the most critical parts of what we will need to run it in production.

I do have a lot of infrastructure and networking experience, it was mostly a matter of the ingress setup having many moving parts which were poorly documented. I could see that it had set up bridges and iptables rules and NAT and virtual interfaces, but I was never able to get a picture of how the setup was supposed to work to be able to see what parts of that picture were right or wrong.

There was no clear road-map of setting up a cluster. Most people talking about Kubernetes were doing "toy" deployments, which only had limited application to what I was doing. I only found kubespray because of a passing mention, for example.

I'd say your about right with a month. Had I given it another week or two, I probably would have gotten it going. I had really only expected it to take a couple days to have a proof of concept cluster, so at 2 weeks I was way beyond what I had slotted to spend on it.

Looking over the Getting Started Guide it looks very simple to get a test cluster set up. Which maybe set my expectations unreasonably high.

I guess that's what I'm trying to say: With the current state of documentation, it's probably a calendar month investment to get going.
I don't find most sources of information trustworthy. I just want to get info from opposing sources with conflicting goals, which helps put together the whole picture.

I full support Russia Today (RT) despite being obviously backed by the Russian government because they are willing to talk about things that no US media outlet will touch. It's despicable that Google publicly and vocally denounces them and de-rates their results in search and news.
I like your typo in the last capslock, it accurately describes my capslock key ;)

Though, that actually is interesting, and you made me read up ab bit on Japanese.
No. And Ars Technica has a subscription service that totally removes ads.
I'm often reminded of the Oscar Wilde quote:

"There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all."

Replace "book" with "algorithm", and you have my sentiments on the issue.
Funny so many people are talking here about how fast Kubernetes is moving... That's one of the complaints about Docker Swarm that led me to rule it out...
Apple's always been focussed on design, in both marketing and UI. In marketing, for a long time everything was Apple Garamond, then Myriad. In the UI, Chicago and Geneva were heavy hitters. Now we have San Francisco. A key difference with this last one is that it's used in both the UI and in marketing.

Ironically it took me a moment to realize that Book was Facebook :-)

This is a great comment to put things in perspective. It’s easy to forget that Google has only had “dominance” for about a decade. They have diversified quite a lot though (autonomous vehicles, the mobile market etc). And Apple literally have enough cash stockpiled to takeover countries if they choose to wage war. It’s all pretty fleeting though.
Especially with company with as many tentacles as IBM, having own typeface also helps ensure consistent design language across the company, both in terms of licensing (they can use it in any media/geography/field they need) and applicability (they can have all the variants etc needed).

Of course cost is also a major aspect. Random article claims that "Until recently, it [IBM] was spending over a million dollars each year to license Neue Helvetica for the company". With that sort of money you can afford to make your own fonts too.

While I'd agree that e.g. the Netflix font was somewhat non-remarkable/forgettable, I think they did manage to capture surprising amount of IBMness into Plex. I noticed it on their docs pages before they made big fuss about it, and really remarked to myself on how neat the font was.
When you encrypt an email with PGP, you use the public key of the individual you are writing to, not your own private key. You should only use your private key to read the mail encrypted with your public key, or to sign messages.
Nice.

Is it available as a Selectric typeball?
Sacramento. Some friends/family used AIM, others used MSN. I guess it depended on whether or not they were AOL customers.
In 2018 frontend development reached the point where multiple pages with a working scrollbar seems to be beyond our reach.

In the meantime the "glorious" IBM releases a free font, and this is newsworthy.

I think the Internet, while started out as something really promising, it's done for. Let it die, before it's too late, please. Someone, pull the plug, let's start over. Maybe the next one will be better, who knows.

Although it may have the same fate, AIM suffers from being computer only when it was in its prime. (maybe always) Anywhere I go I can socialize on whatsapp, or snapchat or whatever app.
It's a great display face that should not be used for body copy.
Indeed so. I'm always reminded of Charles Babbage's self-reported interactions on the subject of his Difference Engine:

'On two occasions I have been asked, — "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" In one case a member of the Upper, and in the other a member of the Lower, House put this question. I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.'

But I think the problem is more subtle than you give it credit for. The software may be working as written, but 'intention' rarely maps cleanly to execution. The behavior of a complex system is a multidimensional shape; stretching it one way or another along some axis according to your intention for its behavior can easily have unanticipated, and often unobservable effects along other axes that you were not minding. So it may be an intention that the system optimize for click-through rates for ads, while at the same time not consciously intended to be biased against, for example, race, but also not deliberately crafted to avoid this behavior. This may functionally be the same thing as intending it to be racist, but it has different implications for who's guilty and how things get fixed.
That's actually pretty cool - how do you accomplish that? (And on which OS?)
Improving social media by making social graphs temporary
If Facebook goes away, MySpace is nowhere near an adequate analogy. Facebook has 2.2 billion monthly active users. In other words, there are more active monthly Facebook users in the world than:

* Roman Catholics (1.2 billion)

* People living in China (1.4 billion)

* Total speakers of English, the most widely-spoken language in the world (1.4 billion)

* Muslims (1.8 billion)

* Viewers of the 2014 FIFA World Cup final (1 billion)

* iPhones ever manufactured (1.2 billion; also, the top two most-used apps are Facebook and Facebook Messenger)

* Windows users (1.4 billion)

* Inhabitants of the European Union (508 million)

* Cats (600 million)

* Firearms (875 million)

* Africans (1 billion)

Now, obviously whether or not you use Facebook isn't as important to your identity or as hard to change as your religion or where you live, but it's also not something that's just going to suddenly disappear without some sort of replacement, or else if it does, it will be the first time in human history that two billion people all decided at once to give up on something.
The proof that a group has been marginalized is that their numbers are not representative of their presence in the population. Thus, we pretend that the ideal world exists by adjusting those numbers in situations where merit selection is the criteria in the hopes that the numbers will converge by themselves. We don't interview each participant to ask them how they were traumatized, we only look at the statistics. People from strong well adjusted minority families that value education and have protected their kids from most of the harsh realities that poor minority families are subject to receive the same special treatment with affirmative action. The reason that the inequity exists is immaterial means that we don't even have to check if a bias exists, we just assume that since the world is not ideal that the numbers need to be fixed first and then the rest of it will follow.

At least that's the way it works in reality. Maybe this reality is politically incorrect too and you are saying that we need to implement meta-political correctness in which the means of creating an ideal world must be hidden to instead pretend that the implementers know the exact and particular circumstance of each person they are selecting based on facts other than merit and are weighing all of them appropriately in correcting injustice. By pretending that this ideal world in which knowledgeable administrators skillfully and in each individual case correct injustices, this will somehow make it become a reality.
I don't mean this to sound like a cheap shot at Julian because, as many do, I have mixed feelings about him. However, what you are describing is CLASSIC narcissism.

No. Not nearly enough.
Intent doesn't matter. It's information. Judge it on evidence and truth and take it or leave it. No amount of twisted logic will make intent relevant.
I've been a tech lead in the past and am currently a tech lead for a 1-man project. I agree with the sentiments here: if you're contributing a significant amount of code then you're probably failing the rest of the team in some way.

It's hard to be on top of everyone else's work, the architecture, the weekly planning and the external team syncs while also trying to write features.

Being alone, I'm basically taking shortcuts to get results until I have more bandwidth or get a team member to help shore things up. The goals and deadlines were set way above my head so unfortunately outcomes are prioritized as it stands.
"There's DuckDuckGo and all that, which is a nice idea, but their results are just nowhere near as good as Google's in most cases."

I don't agree with that assessment. Occasionally I'll need to stick a !g at the front of my search, but usually DDG does a good enough job with the results (and when it fails, Google usually fails, too).
> I have continued to search for black girls on a regular basis, at least once a month, and I can report that Google had changed its algorithm to some degree about five months after that article was published.

Under the heading "Where are black girls now?" she notes that she doesn't see porn in the results anymore and after I googled black girls I got similar results to what she shows in the picture directly under that, where the first link is black girls code.
Why not just install a Game Boy emulator and play the (arguably) best version of Tetris? Heck, I think there are web-based JavaScript Game Boy emulators out there.

No, that's totally wrong. The United States use to have more passenger rail than Europe did today. It happened over a very short period of time and it can be made better in a short period of time. Seattle's ST3 project could prove this if it moves the suburban areas close together around rail stations.

Transportation is the single greatest factor in reducing the number of people in poverty in a city. This isn't just opinion, there are a number of studies that suggest this. American can greatly reduce poverty, pollution and gridlock if we got over our apprehension to rails.
I ran into the same problem with exposing it to the outside world, also found the documentation there to be a problem. I got closest with kubespray, I was originally working with the Kubernetes documentation on a 4 node cluster.

Depends on how many direct reports the person can scale to.

But I agree 100x is a little high. If you have a 10 person team and they all can do 2x what an unled team, The math might work out to be a 10x team lead. But there I go trying to use Math to justify hyperbole...

Note one result about halfway down has tiny blocky naked women, if your situation makes that inappropriate.
Kinda funny that the page is down ... you'd think for a company that helps everyone scale their services this would not be a problem :-)
No, the point is that the author selectively presents information that bolsters the point she wants to make.

I'm pretty certain that if she searched for "<blank> girls" -- white girls, asian girls, etc. -- with safe search turned off, a good number of the results would be NSFW, because the internet is 75% porn (and 25% cat videos).
Did I miss something? Is there not a way to use 1Password 7 without it automatically uploading your 1Password 6 vault to their cloud as part of the setup flow (as it did for me)? Unless I did something wrong, it looks like a my.1password.com account is _required_ in 1Password 7.
The world is an unfair place with a striking history of bias against black girls, and Google is built with trillions of data points from this world. Society thinks that black women's hair is ugly and white women's hair is beautiful, and Google, with the power of their machine learning, reflects this unpleasant societal truth back to the user.
Yes I did get the memo.
This is 2018, now Russia takes the place of "axis of evil" Iraq and Taleban. A greater axis of evil. Much feared bear.
FWIW, various arbitrarily strung together components (your OS, DNS, VPN, Browser, WebRTC) are not going to guarantee anonymity. Simply because it is not their job.

The only possible solution is a piece of software that guarantees end-to-end privacy by literally standing guard at each end (from the moment you connect to your network with your hardware MAC address exposed to the final moment when a web page is retrieved for you from your destiantion website).

This was mostly undeserved. Print newspapers have several printings each day, mostly with the same content. The early editions are less polished than the later ones. Because the Guardian was printed in Manchester, while the other major national papers were based in London, readers in the south would get the early mistake-ridden printing.
