Xfiniti wifi has this pretty much. If you have an xfiniti account, you can connect to anyone's xfiniti wifi. That saved me from installing internet in a small commercial shop because the neighbor had xfiniti and we had an account.

It would be nice to see other providers do this, but a lot of tech users have reservations about other people using their routers.
On the other hand they've also censored some of their users without being legally obliged to do so on a couple occasions. They don't have a clean track record. I'd rather point my DNS settings at my own server than anyone elses.
Yup, you're sure showing all those poor whites in Appalachia and countless rural counties!
> denying children the right to work so their parents could have better jobs.

This is basically what I'm saying; educational requirements are an easy way to track the workforce. At the end of the wars, the labor market contracted hugely (as those soldiering jobs went away), so our society cut the least valuable workers out of the workforce. That it had humanitarian justifications, in that those workers also had the least personal agency and influence over their working conditions, is almost coincidental.
I think you meant parole.

Probation is a "probationary" period that prevents you from going to prison, by substituting it with a period of time where you do classes, have a job, go to school, and/or community service also.

Parole is a period of time after you are released from prison where you are still technically a "prisoner" but you are being let loose to see if you do well in society for a little while, but with extremely high restrictions that can put you back if you sneeze wrong. The federal prison system no longer supports federal parolees.

In my state, Arizona, if you wait 2 years after you are "off paper" (completed parole/probation) you can have your rights restored so you can vote (this is for state felonies, not for federal felonies as far as I know). You can also have your record "sealed" where it still shows you are a felon, but as long as you didn't do anything dangerous(violent) or sexual in nature you can have the court hide what you did. This works out for people that performed financial crimes and are having a hard time getting a job as a cashier or anything to do with money. Or a person who stole a car and is trying to get hired as a driver.
"There are bad people in the world, some of them will use our service, some of them will use our service as a tool or medium to do bad things."

The behavior from bad people isn't normal, but above a certain size it would be abnormal if you didn't find any bad people.

I wouldn't think there's anything objectionable about this statement other than it's vacuously true.
> sleep in the dark

I'm not sure what you're even trying to say. This is about chronotypes and a teenager-specific sleeping pattern that has been identified and studied.

Sleep deprivation is torture, this is not my definition. Sorry, we, as a society, decided that not letting people sleep properly is really fucking crappy. If you want to disagree with that, take that up with the party that came up with the terms. Messing with someone's sleep is a major offense, and there are various ways in which it can happen, and psychology recognizes them, even if you don't.

Yes, I'm sure most teenagers have means to go to a sleep center, with their full human rights and disposable income. And when pretty much every teenager has this problem I'm sure that's a good use of resources.
Physical education. In India, in our schools it mostly meant playing Soccer.
In a case like that I wonder if they did it partly for fun - they easily could have played the last 8 seconds with an empty net.
While not 100% the same, Kurt Warner's story is pretty remarkable. He went from stocking shelves at a grocery store, to winning a super bowl.

>So at what point should a company stop trying to grow at all cost?

This is an important philosophical question and underscores why company codes of ethics / conduct, statements of values, etc., aren't just feel good, rhetorical BS, but actually matter and are important part of culture. Each company has to decide where to draw the line. Deciding that there is one is an important first step and it needs to be supported and reinforced throughout the organization.
Your argument as I understand it is "Hey if I/companies don't do what's needed to survive, someone else will do it anyways, and I/companies lose". Just because some other group is willing to do unethical things (i.e. at all costs) doesn't make it ok for your company / you to do those things.

People generally cheat and do unethical things to "win" or "not lose". The reward doesn't make it any more ok.

Also, I can't believe I'm explaining this.

The memo was pretty literal - "someone might die", "things we have to do in China". Sounds like they truly meant "all cost".
It invokes "ls" twice. There's no guarantee the maximum width obtained from the first invocation is still correct for formatting the result of the second.
I hear you. My 97 Corolla is still cheaper to keep running now than my Jetta was 10 years ago.

There is a very variable gap between novice, amateur and professional in different sports - and I think the closer to "natural human movement" the sport is the greater the gap.

for example, you could pick any one from the Olympic stadium, give them running shoes and there would be zero chance they would be anything but last over the finishing line.

For something like football (soccer) the gap is almost as large - you could take any enthusiastic amateur and put them in the premiership and the results would be obviously bad. Only as you go up the amateur skill rankins would you start to see a closing of the gap - and football / soccer has spent so long honing that gap that even professional players in the second division would usually be shown to be woefully inadequate (Leicester City being the exception proving the rule)

But NHL hockey has a huge amount of skill / equipment / training needs before even starting a game - and so the gap between amateur and top player is much smaller than we expect.

What I guess I am saying is that 99% of humanity could cross the finish line in an olympic spring (seconds off the time obviously but still finish). but probably 99% of humanity could not even stand up on the ice let alone skate and hit a puck.

As such i conjecture that professional hockey has a lot further it can stretch that gap between top professional and amateur - in other words the team that finds how to develop its skills so that a third string goalie would never stand a chance is a team that will lift a lot of trophies.
You're thinking under the assumption that there's no corruption in the judicial system, and also that every judge and jury and attorney intend to act for the good of every individual person, rather than for some other agenda. That's the kind of naivety I had too. That's not how the world works. The world is a horrifyingly evil place.
Now we're talking! Definitely on my todo list of drinks to try.
If every email service prohibits a topic, that's indistinguishable from state censorship. I fail to see how only one is bad and the other isn't.

The free market isn't of any help here either. Censorship is about stopping the spread of information and ideas. What's not known can't affect the free market.
Getting the equipment on is a bit of a process, so I doubt teams would want to be down a rostered skater in the event they need someone to sit on the bench as a goaltender.

It's also extremely rare for these backups to see playing time. This is only the second time it's happened in the NHL; the previous was last year when an equipment manager stood in for 8 seconds.
Specifically, the Cloudflare CEO kicked the Daily Stormer off of Cloudflare because the Daily Stormer had been suggesting that Cloudflare secretly supported them/their politics: https://blog.cloudflare.com/why-we-terminated-daily-stormer/

Had the Daily Stormer folks kept their mouths shut, they probably would've been fine.

And then Cloudflare continues on to describe why they don't think companies should censor content, whereas Google has numerous blogs and entire technologies revolving around how to censor content even more than they do now.
Like when the CEO randomly feels like it because he woke up being annoyed. But otherwise, totally not.
I'm wondering what the max sustained TDP of the CPU on this is like. On a MacBook Pro (13,2), the Intel processor package can pull 42-45W of power for an indefinitely long time without throttling down below that power level, even on batteries iirc. I'd hope that PC laptops get this at some point; this is one of the main reasons I still buy Mac
Works and is a fast resolver!! Thanks for posting it.
I never quite understood voter disenfranchisement.
Some quick googling tells me that 6 million people are disenfranchised in the US, which out of 235 million voting-aged population means 2.5% of the US voting-aged population is disenfranchised.

It is also majority targeted towards black voters (despite 18% of voting population, 34% of disenfranchised are black)

Putting it together for me it's clear that police brutality, redistricting and rigid voter disenfranchisement all serve the same purpose. To disenfranchise black voters to the maximum extent possible while remaining constitutional.

This should become a supreme court matter someday.

It seems to me that we paused in killing them off so rapidly from ~10,000 years ago when we stopped spreading around the world (there were a few stragglers, but the bulk of them were gone by then) to ~19th century when industrialization and globalization started letting us destroy all habitats everywhere.

> It’s like a telephone company admitting their services will be used to call in bomb threats

No, it's like a telephone company acknowledging that they use underhanded practices to get more customers, and claiming the ends justify the means.

> It’s a little tacky, but past the last thing on a long list of wrongs Facebook has committed for so many words to be shed over.

How do you think a company acquires such a long list of wrongs in the first place? This is a message from the top, broadcast to all employees, rationalizing (practically encouraging) bad behavior at an institutional level.
> There's a reason schools have multiple periods of each course, and that those periods rotate day-to-day

Could you elaborate on this? What is the reason? Saying it's "more economically efficient" than grouping class types is something many of my teachers would disagree with, as they have lives they would love to get to outside of school (e.g. if a PE teacher gets out early in the morning, they can go to their second job or see their own kids) and complain about having to stay at school because there isn't enough time between similar classes that are spread across different times of day.
>but the legal system is tilted to prevent people from being unjustly imprisoned, not to ensure that every guilty person is locked up.

Not anymore. Now what happens is that once you are targeted all these laws that aren't enforced normally are pulled out, and you end up with an insane maximum potential time spent in prison. At which point a relatively light plea deal is offered. Even if you are innocent, unless you are rich enough to have money to afford a good lawyer, it isn't worth fighting. And even if you are rich, the prosecutor can just fine tune the plea deal until it is better than fighting the charge. This has strongly tilted the system now that most people (something around 90% if memory serves) do not get their day in front of a jury.
There are still plenty of assholes using CloudFlare.
>> GDP per capita

Are we going to ignore the effects of immigration and the comparative policies of both nations here, or just pretend that a mostly-homogenous nation like Norway (or other Scandi countries) should be equally compared to the United States?
Your analysis which leads to your conclusion that the reaction is overblown is based entirely on a side-point in the memo. A flashy, provocative side-point, but still just a side-point. Meanwhile you don't acknowledge or address the actually scary parts of the memo, which I think is what is getting people worked up.

If you don't want to be called out for not addressing the main points of concern before dismissing the issue, why don't you address them rather than complaining for being called out?

Anyway, I seriously doubt "startups will be startups" will be the narrative very many people will accept here.
Let me guess, you believe governments should be run like companies, right?

Perhaps, ask yourself why you come down on the side of moneyed interests in every point you make.

When I see this kind of dogmatic badgering, Its almost like my brain is superimposing a Fast Fourier Transform frequency plot on that person, and all of the energy is found to be in a single bin.

Your single bin is money. As this pure tone, it is literally your equation.

I don't have to tell you that this makes you give whores a bad name.
>while I'm not quite a digital nomad and have never been homeless, I have moved quite a few times in the past 7 years.

College is still inside my 7 year window, so I get to include 4 college addresses, 4 internship addresses, and a couple since graduating. I've found my Amazon address list to be immensely helpful. I also started a document to track it.

Copy+paste into those horrible background check online forms makes them more tolerable. The last one I did had to be done in 1 sitting and was estimated to take 30 minutes. Spent 2.5-3 hours on it...
I am more than half way through the book "Why we sleep?" by Matthew Walker and it is not a surprise to me that misalignment of circadian rhythm with class schedules results in poor grades. The book goes into great detail on the importance of getting eight hours of sleep on a regular schedule. Getting less than eight hours of sleep is tied to every imaginable disease and poor memory. I highly recommend reading the book.

The concerning thing about this is that internet is increasingly dependent on Cloudflare, making it a single point of failure and exploitation. Somehow, people are not talking much about it, but a significant amount of sites have opted in for Cloudflare proxying, allowing it to see the traffic in plain text, while the visitors are made to believe that the connection is secure. Similarly, users will now use their fast DNS server, which is also advertised as more secure.
I have been using it for years. No complain except the screen. As a dev. I would prefer it to be 16/10. I cannot understand the use case for a 16/9 in the pro world. Little detail: when I wear a formal shirt, the sleeve tends to get "stucked" (due to the border having a high angle ">" ).

Newspapers buying themselves is not something new.
According to Gallup in 2013 the median incomes in the US and UK were $15,500 and $12,400 adjusted. Considering that US citizens pay on average 10% of earnings on healthcare where the UK doesn't that makes it more akin to $14,000 vs $12,400.

Except here is something you didn't know - that British citizen isn't paying income tax at all. Their 0% bracket goes all the way to about $16,000 USD Today. That US citizen is paying about $1650 in income tax because there is no 0% bracket in the US. So in actual take home income they are almost exactly the same. The mess of tax code in both countries makes the calculations more complicated, plus other taxes, etc - but the point is that no, U.K. citizens are not being paid "so much lower" than the US on average, but they do get the benefit of never dying of preventable illness because they can't afford to see a doctor while having all that extra aforementioned paid time off and holiday benefits that US workers don't have.

Additionally, the US isn't even at the top of median individual income. Fennoscandia collectively has the US beat, by on average about 20%. Which is going to be offset by their average ~25%ish income tax, but still its comparable returns.

It turns out that if your economy is abusing you to get more productivity out of you that you don't get a better living out of it.

Cloudflare actually went out of their way to make it easy to whitelist Tor IPs that would generally get automatictly blacklisted for abuse.

Preventing Exploitation of Migrant Workers in Your Supply Chain
For what it's worth, the space race was something most people accepted as something worth doing, the astronauts knew every operational detail of their spacecrafts and volunteered, and a small number of people were affected.

By contrast, not everyone accepts the FB mission as bluntly stated, few except a fraction of technical people understand what FB is doing and how it works and are capable of informed consent, and 2B people are affected.

The Moon isn't populated, China is and their people might have an opinion about being colonized by FB industrialists, either for or against.
Generally I take the stance that every regulation (and every other law) should have to justify its existence, and that it failing to do so would justify its removal. Yes, that is effectively a religious/moral argument given that determining why a law should exist is a subjective issue.
Ah yes. There’s nothing to censor if you keep your mouth shut ;)

It certainly doesn't. It's also sad that it's a law but that's an other discussion.
I think was sidlls said is certainly true, but it's important to remember that media organizations like to focus on things that would be interesting to their readers.

That's a ... terrifying way to think about HTML.

HTML is not a serialization of code objects. It is a document authoring format. The DOM is just a way of modeling the documents so that code can perform various transforms on them. But the document is the important part, not the model.
Lets try that with your car some time - remove the brakes today, make them 'justify their existence' every so often.

PC gaming just shook a little. I have decades old games that still work because Microsoft still supports Windows. uTorrent entirely exists because of Microsoft's commitment to break-your-back-backwards-compatability in Windows. DirectX is 25+ years of of PC gaming's history.

That could disappear like a console generation. That's a little disconcerting.
This sounds an awful lot like the lean/six sigma (lss) tool set that every company of a certain size and age has experience with. But that's not to invalidate the ideas here, as lss can unfortunately be prone to a cultish zealotry that mutates the original principles.

Great study, really interesting. I'd like to see a follow-up study with the following design:

Find high schools with rotating class schedules (i.e. math is at a different time of day each day for 6 days, then loop that), then find high schools with fixed schedules (i.e. math is always first period for some students). Then, compare performance of night owls in the two different schools. Theoretically, if the authors' study is generalizable from college to HS, then the night-owls should do significantly worse in the early AM classes in the non-rotating school, and significantly better in the early PM classes in the non-rotating school.

I read that article too and when I read it I thought "this is the first time I've seen somebody write this"

My basis for that judgement came from reading a lot about Bannon and my own experiences w/ the "alt-right" and "alt-left". (ex. a "gamergate person" is to me a person who will never let you have the last word in an argument, no matter what they believe about boys and their toys; sometimes they get arrested because they just can't stop arguing with a cop)

I grew in Manchester, NH which was home to the Manchester Union Leader which was a leading conservative publication in the 1980s. I regularly saw editorials by conservatives who were interested in emulating the strategies of the communist theorist Antonio Gramsci.

It really does seem like you didn't read past the first sentence. The main point of the memo isn't that people will use the platform for terrorism. It's that anything Facebook does to add users is good and justified. Quotes from the memo:

The ugly truth is that we believe in connecting people so deeply that anything that allows us to connect more people more often is de facto good.

That’s why all the work we do in growth is justified. All the questionable contact importing practices. All the subtle language that helps people stay searchable by friends.

Most of us have the luxury of working in the warm glow of building products consumers love. But make no mistake, growth tactics are how we got here.

And in this case, "connecting people" is a euphemism for adding more Facebook users, i.e., getting more people using a highly addictive social medium product that leads many people to feel more isolated and less connected.
