A nice example is the bird called "great tit" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_tit) - "tits" being one of the classic "pornographic words" (e.g. 1972 "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television"), so when someone is searching for "great tits", is it reasonable to assume that they want dirty pictures or should the search engine return just the birds?
A compiler that heavily optimises, like Gambit, might take a minute or two on a large project, whereas Chicken might take a couple seconds.

The fewer interruptions to a programmer's flow, the better.

However, on release, performance, and binary size, often matter, so go with the best.

Last week on HN: "Sources: Google is buying Lytro for about $40M" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16635676)
The true power in microtargeting lies in the iteration speed achievable by computers. As with any effective weapon, if you can wield yours faster than your opponent, you will emerge victorious in the normal case. This is the same principle at play in High Frequency Trading. And just like High Frequency Trading, which was pioneered by the chairman of Cambridge Analytica, Robert Mercer, the less competition you have, the less entities that can usurp your temporal advantage. There is no "mastery" of this technique, only being able to do it faster than everyone else. Thus, there is no balance lent by proliferating the algorithm, as I see it.

I guess as an irrational actor, which we all are as humans, I would either seek one of two outcomes, neither of which resulted in giving away the algorithm. If I felt no moral qualms empowering someone else with this ability, then that is the same lack of qualms to use the ability for myself. If I were so inclined, I could use this technique to make that fat paycheck, and never have to walk away. This technique is effective in many fields beyond elections. In the situation I'd walk away, it would only be to suppress the work, in the hopes it stays undiscovered.
Two things should happen:

1) All network traffic should go through the VPN tunnel.

2) All DNS requests should be sent to the VPN provider's DNS server and not to the one configured in the OS.

If either or both of these two things isn't happening then it's a DNS leak.

If I understood correctly, then mahkoh was saying that (2) doesn't matter if the host DNS is configured to use Google's public DNS server 8.8.8.8. That's what I called "leaking to Google".

> we just infer it from redshift.

Not just redshift. We're using two observables: Redshift and brightness of a very specific kind of supernova which always releases close to the same energy, i.e. amount of light. Using the 1/d² law we can relate observed brightness to distance. Redshift OTOH tells us the velocity.

Then we plot "redshift vs. sqrt(1/brightness)" and if the expansion of the universe were constant, i.e. velocity/distance (i.e. the Hubble term being constant) we'd see a linear relation between distance and velocity.

However what we actually observe is that the velocity is accelerating over distance, which means something is putting "something" extra into it. So far we can describe it only as a nonvanishing extra term in the field equations. A term which originally Einstein came up with to stabilize a static universe, but you can use it as well to "push" or "pull" on the whole of spacetime to accelerate/decelerate expansion/contraction.

For all intents and purposes this term behaves like an additional energy term in the equations. We are in the _dark_ about, what's actually causing the effects we see. And when we adjust our models to accomodate for that, an extra _energy_ term shows up. Hence "dark energy". However no astrophysicist worth his salt thinks of it as something concrete.

In the cosmology lectures I attended during my studies our professor used to pick some random name, who'd not be a student in the class at the time and instead use that, instead of "Dark Energy" to refer to that term (the "dark name" used when I was there was "Geroge" BTW), just to hammer the fact, that we don't have an effin clue what's going on, only that it's something very observable that's śhows up prominently in all the data collected for the past 20 years and you can't ignore it and have to give it some name.

IMHO the media representation of crime is a substantially different issue than the one of this article. The crime representation is one of bias, but the "black girls" query is about the intent of the searcher; and there's no bias involved - every person searching for "black girls" has one or another intent in mind, and that distribution of intents is the underlying true reality; even if we as a society would judge that distribution of intents as unfair, discriminative, objectifying, abusive, whatever, it's still not biased, it's just that the real thing has these undesired properties.

Let's be realistic - if someone is explicitly going out and searching for "black girls", would you reasonably assume that in the majority of cases they'd be looking for clothed ones?

I understand that different results could influence behavior and make a correction - but that wouldn't be correcting a measurement bias to better reflect reality, that would be an attempt to change (improve?) the underlying objective reality, which is conceptually different than correcting bias.
Now we need to make a distributed version of Craigslist.

Imagine a corrupt foreign dictatorship. The ruler was planning to spend $x building a school for orphans, when foreign donors donated $x to build a school for orphans. This saves the dictator $x which he spends building a mansion for the chief of the army.

MySpace didn't suddenly disappear, it fizzled out over a long time. Also, the relevant metric isn't the total number of users -- this is a massive parallellisable process -- it's the average network-effect lock-in per user. For one thing, networks are fairly segmented around geographies. And that's what makes the MySpace analogy relevant: people thought it would never go away because it had very strong network effects, everybody you care about is on it.

Facebooks demise doesn't require the coordinated action of two billion people. Network effects work the other way as well: when people do leave, they make the experience a little worse for all their contacts, lowering the bar for them to leave as well.

Sure, the number of users probably extends the long tail of the demise, indeed I expect Facebook to hang around as at least a low-engagement contact book/messenger platform for a long time. Their demise will look more like Yahoo than MySpace, but the MySpace story does tell us that network effects aren't magical spells that can never be broken, and network effects are Facebooks most important moat.

I have been a janitor (or pretty much that) during my MD studies, then I have been a nurse, then a doctor, then a programmer.
I didn't know a janitor who thought that nurses or doctors didn't do valuable work (greatly more valuable than their own).

In the IT field it's different though. Every junior is absolutely sure they are better than their team lead (been there, done that, also been the team lead). Every QA thinks that programmers are lazy brats. Every PM too. Every programmer thinks QAs and PMs are stupid and can't grok their (programmers') work (which, so far I think that it's indeed true (maybe not the stupid part, but the 'can't' part), and that's why the industry suffers).
I'm wondering if the following scenario could push Whatsapp out of its leading position. Imagine a platform (Android or iOS) to develop an API for a "message center" where all information from email, chat, system messages come together. This message center will then become the main place for users to read their messages. At this point, the user doesn't really care which app the messages came from, and Whatsapp has lost grip on its leading position.
I don't argue that they've been particularly successful, I simply said relatively successful. I mean relative to other recent movements that have never gone anywhere at all. The very fact that you confidently use the acronym BLM, and that its expansion is a common term in the American lexicon in the last several years proves that they have been successful to the point of at least resonating with supporters of the cause.

But I would generally agree, they have generally failed to motivate others to do much of anything outside of basic tolerance or superficial support of their cause.

Article 17 of the GDPR, The Right To Erasure, states:

Data Subjects have the right to obtain erasure from the data controller, without undue delay, if one of the following applies:

The controller doesn’t need the data anymore

The subject withdraws consent for the processing with which they previously agreed to (and the controller doesn’t need to legally keep it [N.B. Many will, e.g. banks, for 7 years.])

The subject uses their right to object (Article 21) to the data processing

The controller and/or its processor is processing the data unlawfully

There is a legal requirement for the data to be erased

The data subject was a child at the time of collection (See Article 8 for more details on a child’s ability to consent)

If a controller makes the data public, then they are obligated to take reasonable steps to get other processors to erase the data, e.g. A website publishes an untrue story on an individual, and later is required to erase it, and also must request other websites erase their copy of the story.

IIRC, Lytro photos required special software (Flash/JS embed) in order to provide interactive exploration of the light field data. But looks like the specially hosted site, pictures.lytro.com, was shut down back in November 2017 [0], leaving users without a way to demonstrate the "Living Picture" functionality other than using the Lytro Desktop software, then exporting to GIF/MOV [1]. Anyone know if Lytro has mentioned plans to open source the format/software? I see they have a Github org with a bunch of repos, but most of it looks like forked libs and things related to devops: https://github.com/lytro

Cows are more toroidally homomorphic if you take into account their digestive system.
Isn't the whole thing presumably caused by the fact that out of people using that query, most do want to see naked girls? So what you're proposing is to set the comparably less frequent, minority option as the default one, which is quite strange - generally you'd set the defaults so that usually they would not have to be changed.

In general, there's the "safe search" option that's on by default; but if someone has turned it off, then it's reasonable to assume that the default, most common intent of looking for "girls" actually is sexual, and if they were looking for something else (say, "black girls support group") then that would be a comparably rare situation where extra words should be added to the query.
It didn't seem to get much traction, so I stopped work on it. A few years later I removed references to it, but I still have the repositories if users do query me.

My recollection is that modules that are removed from CPAN are still mirrored, so they should still be available, but I admit I've not checked recently.

101 Ecommerce Experts Share Their Secrets
I travelled to Hebron and Bethlehem last month.

Crossing the checkpoint was very easy. I just took an Israeli Egged bus to the settlement, visited the Cave of the Patriarchs, and walked to the checkpoint.

The Israeli guard didn't mind, just glanced at my passport and visa slip. A Palestinian hostel owner who happened to be on the street asked where I was staying. I told him I was going to stay with my friend Mo, who is a CouchSurfing host with hundreds of references, extremely hospitable, and truly legendary. You must visit him. That hostel owner said he knows Mo, and told me it's the right way!

I wasn't sure about how to take a bus and didn't want to pay for a taxi, so I walked for 45 minutes to Mo's place next to the university. During that time, people struck up conversations 3 times. That's more outgoing than the previous 3 days in Israel! People were happy to see a tourist there.

Water shortage is an issue. I was told that the Palestinian authorities can't improve the water supply because it's controlled by Israel. Palestinians pay double taxes, to both governments. Israeli shekels are used. It's peaceful, although the streets look like images from the news of bombed-out areas in Syria after 10 years of peace to rebuild and start businesses. What is more comfortable to you, riches with inequality or people living in equal poverty?

Israel, on the other hand, is rich and clean, with a good bus network (except on Fridays). People are more wary of strangers, though. I hadn't made an opinion of the political situation until my visit.

Re-entering Israel was easy, on a bus from Bethlehem to Jerusalem. Some military came on board and looked at the passports and visa slips, but didn't cross-check anything online.

On the way out at Ben Gurion airport, they didn't ask where I'd travelled on that trip. Instead, they noticed I'd been to Malaysia several years ago, and asked me many questions about that (Malaysia is a Muslim country). I had no problems with the Taiwan passport sticker [1]. They gave me another passport sticker [2] with a barcode beginning with "5", meaning I'm low-risk. They didn't check electronics. Most likely, you won't have a problem. If you're from a "Muslim country" then perhaps you can visit through the border with Jordan instead, just to avoid Israel. But Israel's quite nice to visit too (the sunset over the ocean from Haifa is beautiful).

I'll do my Cato part: Let's not forget Modula-3.

And yes, the sample code shows no benefit, but once your code grows, Units/Modules are pretty nice to have, even on constrained systems. And this version of Turbo Pascal didn't have this (nor Pascal in general, resulting in huge hodgepodge of incompatible dialects).

I moved on to other things when she showed me FB and I learned I couldn't sign up without a .edu, they lost me there.

The point is that when declaring "this time it's different", you have to explain away all the many, many things that are exactly the same, and not just point out the one thing that's a little different.

The Facebook/CA scandal broke in traditional media, and traditional media hasn't exactly been downplaying the possibility of Facebook-powered "fake news" influencing of elections, either. I think that tells you everything you need to know about the purported monopolisation of the media by Facebook.
Investors are entitled to believe goals are achievable. If the goals are not achievable, they have to be corrected as quickly as possible or else legal consequences may stem.

Myspace also reached a level of ubiquity that prior social media (think Six Degrees, ICQ, Friendster, AIM, etc.) could only dream of.

Its downfall also illustrates how little it mattered that they were then hosting their users' digital life. A new generation rose using a new social medium, and this lack of new users eventually sucked the life out of it.

That, incidentally, is probably why Facebook paid so much for WhatsApp.
