This assumes lighter sentencing achieves the desired effect of sentencing. I suspect we could not even agree on the desired effect of sentencing, much less whether lighter sentencing achieves it.

It also assumes the situation won't be recursive. Lighten sentences for men.. then suddenly women get even lighter sentences. Repeat until there is no sentence at all?

The article basically boils down to, "It's not fair to men. We should Do Something![TM]" It does not strike me as a well thought out appeal to the reader.
Adobe's transition was somewhat rough because they took the Carbon route, and then had to do it again to switch over to Cocoa. I expect that now that all their apps are built on Cocoa, the transition will be relatively breezy.

Your initial statement was correct.

In Tunisia -- the spark that arguably started the Arab Spring -- Twitter use was (and still is) virtually non-existent when compared to Facebook use.

Twitter is huge in KSA and some of the Gulf, though.

This contradicts the egalitarian ethos most musicians and their fans espouse.
Ok, so then what? We should tolerate a certain number of bullying groups and casualties for the greater good?

I visited Facebook during this period, and the whole company was celebrating their role in the Arab Spring, which was large as well.

The rhetoric around this has shifted, not because Facebook has done anything different. Or because subsequent uprisings have been any different.

But those mini revolutions of the Arab Spring were not what we thought they were. "The People" taking power from the dictators, created the society they want, but it is LESS in line with liberal values than the previous one. This is what we failed to realize at the time.

Facebook has done an amazing job empowering the will of the people. Which we are still inclined to view as positive.

But when the majority of people WANT a government that is less tolerant of other religions than a dictator would be, what should we do? Should we blame Facebook? Or should we try to use Facebook to counter the hateful ideas that are being spread?

How trivial would it be to make sure this leader in the article who 'never met a Muslim', was forced to scroll through a feed with positive messages about Muslims and religious tolerance?

If Ghandi or Martin Luther King Jr. were alive today could they sway our elections with a billion dollar ad budget? We can't force any other group to live by our values. But we can promote what are values and ideas are, in a way that might be help them spread.

Maybe we should ask Facebook to help with this, instead of trying to take down the whole network just because some groups are using the platform in a way that we don't like.

I know homeless people with better morals than these people, and some of them are homeless for that reason, but still chose the high road. These people are not struggling that much. They usually have new cars, homes that they own and take a lot of vacations... I guess I those things may be important enough to sacrifice morals, but it isn't like they are willing to step down to the level of people that have to go to pantrys, because they are too "good" for that.
What's the alternative? Can you go on Twitter and find bullying? Can you go on Reddit and find bullying? Is there any internet property where moderation is 100% perfect?
How is that different from a democracy that was founded in opposition to monarch or dictator like the USA?

From the wiki on Populism:

>Populism is most common in democratic nations and political scientist Cas Mudde wrote: "Many observers have noted that populism is inherent to representative democracy; after all, do populists not juxtapose 'the pure people' against 'the corrupt elite'?".[6]
To the people that think Facebook is going to go away you are are in for a rude awakening. The fossil industry has been poisoning people and doing dirty tricks for decades have they gone away? Ultimately they were required for the nation. As the fossil industry loses strength over the coming decades they will be replaced by the tech giants. The tech giants will get regulated but the will never go away. The country needs them. They generate too much GDP.

Generally, racist/genocidal falsehoods are used to attack a vulnerable minority.

Not exactly. Mozilla is making a good speech to text engine. (the current open source engines are based on some old academic work that is now considered not the right way forward).
The other fun thing with WFC is that you can wrap the constraints on the edges (ex. matching the right edge of the rightmost tiles to the left edge of the leftmost tiles), which allows you to easily make tiling patterns.

You can also start matching tiles and edges for more than just colours... for example, you can have 3-dimensional tiles, or you can even match edges of tiles using time as a dimension, like I did here: https://twitter.com/MattRix/status/979020989181890560

I believe products already do this. A good few years ago I was asked by a guy why his plugged-in HP laptop was telling him it “wasn’t charging”. I looked up the docs and discovered that between 95-100% it would turn on/off the charging as required.

I’ve heard separately (no source, sorry [edit: see below]) that Apple products also do this, they just don’t confuse the user by telling them that it’s happening. I wouldn’t be surprised if HP et. al. have since changed their user notification behaviour, too.

This strikes a nerve, one still tender and stinging from Google's betrayal of Reader users. Yes, still.

Things like Facebook's non-chronological feed algorithm still annoy me greatly, and a good RSS/Atom aggregator would please me to no end. I switched to Feedly but really need to take better control of my Internet news consumption so I welcome a revival of RSS.

multiprocessing also has a single interface for both threads and processes, so it's not that.
This wouldn't per se force owners to give up equity, it'd merely prevent them from making it available to a limited circle of investors.
Absolutely true-- Apple is, after all, one of the most valuable companies in the world. But I think recent issues in iOS and macOS hint that they might not be one of the most talented software companies in the world. If regular maintenance and feature updates are bringing their OSes to their knees, what will a massive spec change do?
I've hypothesized that the recent blast of negative press about Facebook and other social media companies like this is driven in part by the realization at the heights of US intelligence that these massive surveillance honeypots are a threat to US national security.

If that's the case I agree with them. How many people with secret and top secret clearance have exploitable (or compromised by design) 'smart' devices in their home or could be blackmailed using data in possession of these services? Then there's the whole mass election manipulation angle which just adds to the problem.

The social and 'smart device' panopticon opens the potential for a completely remote cyber-invasion and takeover of the country by a foreign actor. It would be the first full-scale invasion with not only no shots fired but no actual physical army on the ground. I don't think this is really all that sci-fi.
Even if you expect it the difference is shocking.
The bachelors degree requirement isn't flexible?
Don’t forget that the current gen A processors are designed to run in something with a tiny battery compared to a laptop. It’s likely that any MacBook bound Apple CPU won’t have such a limitation and will be able to run much faster as a result.

Also if you look at the performance trajectory of A-series in the last five years, 2020 sounds about right for where the crossover will come even between iOS based A-series processors and the fastest of what Intel has to offer, provided they can keep up the pace of performance improvement.
Ooh! Interesting. I've a ~2 year old Macbook Pro with the 43602 chipset. Would be lovely to be able to run OpenBSD on it without wifi dongles.
> Rental companies will also hit you for "loss of use" while their damaged car is being repaired. This will likely be claimed at $hundreds/day.

This is much more than the cost to the consumer of renting the car. How can they possibly defend it?
Yes, it is for now. We very much intend to expand to everyone - we're just trying to get it working really well for one group first.
Using a bad example, let's say x86-64 and A11 can both add numbers up to 3 digits. The a11 can do that faster than x86-64. But I want to add a 5 digit number. The x86-64 can do that with one instruction, but the A11 has to break that 5 digit number into multiple 3 digit numbers in order to process it.

From my understanding, which might be wrong, Geekbench only tests what both can do. Comparing a pickup truck and a sports car you need to look at more than just how fast they can do. You can both move furniture, but the sports car will need to do a lot more to be able to what the pickup can.
Oh, but it is possible. It's buried in the networking settings but there's a phone name option which is used for just about everything.

Although on my LG devices it defaults to the series name, for example G3 for an LG G3.
This is a case of government authorized genocide. I just don't understand how shifting blame toward Facebook as a data sharing platform solves the problem. If someone sends hate filled letters to public via USPS, is USPS complicit? Yes, FB could have probably done better by monitoring the content, and muted hostile posts.
I hail from a small industrial town in eastern India, where very recently racial tensions erupted between pockets of Hindu/Muslim communities. One of the first things local government did was to turn off internet (data and ISP), to control proliferation of rumors and anything that could incite further violence.
It isn't ok to insinuate astroturfing, shillage, etc., in HN arguments. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Please don't do it here, regardless of how much people are doing it everywhere else.

If you have evidence of abuse, or are worried that it might be happening, you can email us at hn@ycombinator.com and we'll take a look. Obviously, if we find abuse we'll deal with it. But not without looking at the data.

What's not ok is to cheaply invoke these categories because someone holds different views from you or posted a bad comment to HN.

I've posted about this a ton if anyone wants to read more: https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme....
Out of curiosity, are there any negatives for everyone to funnel their DNS traffic through a single provider? Might be paranoia, and it may in this case just be putting all of your traffic through company_a vs all of your traffic through company_b scenario, but I've been curious since this was announced.
I always see this document linked to on HN even though it's a (relatively) high level description of what is happening on the device.

Besides, there is absolutely no guarantee that Apple isn't just being "semi-open" with their security mechanisms. In other words, who is to say that there are no redundant, undocumented mechanisms in place?

But I will concede that Apple is ahead of everyone else in this regard. It's just that I think Apple being ahead doesn't mean that the information they're providing is enough.

Winnie Madikizela-Mandela: Anti-apartheid campaigner dies at 81
Courts tend to look at precedent. Any lawyer taking a case in this area will look at the case in question and try to twist it to state their side.

This isn't to say courts will rule one way to the other, or that the courts won't change their mind, but a well reasoned opinion form a different court is powerful.
> He was in a position where he was able to go to Congress with a position supporting a path to citizenship for dreamers in exchange for increased funding for border control and some stupid wall funding. And there was hardly any push back from the far right. Giving them a tongue lashing might have made you feel better, but it likely would not have helped the country in any way.

This "Trump is playing 4d hyperchess and can see externalities that by the way didn't actually pan out because not only did DACA not go through, but Trump took it off the table spitefully because he couldn't secure wall funding" argument? Unconvincing at best. I don't believe it because I don't see evidence of it. But I certainly don't think that the desire to appease conservative Americans includes calling people who publicly state their goal is to establish a white ethnostate in the ashes of American democracy "good people." They're literally opposing the institutions and laws he swore to uphold.

> Some crazy right wingers have some crazy conspiracy theories like 9-11 truthers and pizzagate. Some crazy left wingers have some crazy conspiracy theories about GMOs, alternative medicine, vaccines, etc. But this isn't a discussion about who has the craziest crazies, this discussion is about how the mainstream media biases when reporting on all issues including the crazies.

And yet you're seemingly unwilling to quote, engage, or even acknowledge that side of the conversation?

I find that side of the discussion much more interesting.

In light of git's enforced immutability constraints and the fact that multiple approval for merges is SOP at many large companies, I suspect that isn't a very good analogy.
Eh, I say throw the book at all criminals regardless of gender. I'm a big proponent of putting females on the front lines of war too if the U.S. truly stands for equality. Having grown up as a ward of the court, I have seen judges sentence women to lighter sentences since they view these women as their daughters or mothers that made a one time mistake, in contrast to the men who judges deem useless and dangerous criminals to society and get the book thrown at them.

Just look at the epidemic of U.S. female teachers who sexually abuse their students and get slapped on the wrist compared to the harsher sentences of the men who do abuse their female students

Anyhow, I truly believe the industrial prison complex is too successful for the U.S. to change any aspect it. If anything, we will reignite the drug war and start using social media to lock up more men and the occasional woman. This feeds the narrative that our society does not care about men and that the government is always looking to take care of women at the expense of men and our taxes. As a young man it is hard to see it any other way and has radicalized me towards the manopshere, redpill and mgotw online communities and philosophy.

Then again, I wonder if this the outcome that social engineers are pushing our society towards to? I feel no desire to love, cherish or protect any women in my life after seeing how they can get away with things that I cannot as a man and how society caters to their every whim. / End rant.
Tesla’s Musk Takes Charge of Model 3 Production as Problems Persist
Actually, now that I think about it, you may have a rock solid case in terms of copyright.

Absent an employment or contractual agreement that makes your code a work-for-hire, you own the copyright to any code you write. If you don't have any agreements in place with the company your father started with you, then you still own the copyright to the code you presumably wrote during the early days. Even if they had developers who later built upon that, their copyright is derivative. They can't do anything with it without your agreement, including sell the company, the software, or really even deploy it if push comes to shove. I'm assuming you can prove your own copyright in the form of source control.

I've been through exactly this situation with a client, and if I hadn't had that card to play I'd have gotten royally screwed dealing with them. I don't know if I ever really got as much out as I put in, but it made me almost-whole. (and you can reach out to me if you want the full story there, I'm not going to put it on HN.)
rwalker could I get in touch with you about the machine learning role directly?

> Well short of gutting the entire "common law" system and switching an entire legal system over to codified law it seems difficult to address the root issue.

You could move sentencing only to a separate body from the trial judge and jury, which acts based on a record only of the offenses found by the trial court and the criminal history of the offender, without other information, including the race and gender of anyone involved.
You can certainly blame them if they vote in local elections to perpetuate this unequal system.
We should fight against, but within the framework of free speech.

It's just as easy to suppress malevolent ideas with censorship as progressive ones. Handing that power to an elite few, however noble their intentions at first, is dangerous.

In this case though, it does appear they made a mistake.
> Alas, there were statistics posted here on HN in one of the Tesla accident threads

3 year period, 6 years ago. Zero citations, just a blank statement.

Not only that, it's not believable. The Honda Odyssey sells in the hundreds of thousands per year. Nevermind the other cars.

There are over 30,000 vehicle fatalities per year in the US, but those models that have been around for years and are extremely popular with consumers ... have had zero fatalities?

Let me guess, it's because they're not Teslas. Who's really drinking the Kool-Aid?
