There was also a good SF film similar to this called "Surrogates" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0986263/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_35), which somehow flew under the radar when it premiered, back in 2009. It's a combination between what you're describing and Asimov's description of life on planet Solaria. From the wiki page of the latter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Naked_Sun

> The book focuses on the unusual traditions, customs, and culture of Solarian society. The planet has a rigidly controlled population of 20,000, and robots outnumber humans twenty thousand to one. People are taught from birth to avoid personal contact, and live on huge estates, either alone or with their spouse only. Face-to-face interaction (referred to in the book as "seeing"), and especially impregnating a woman, when replacement of a decedent is necessary, was seen as unavoidable but dirty. Communication is completed instead through holography (referred to in the book as "viewing") , where in contrast to "seeing", they are free of modesty, and have no problem if an interlocutor sees the other's naked body. A two-way teleconference allowed the participants to hear and see each other, but in 3D - an idea almost unheard-of at the time of publication, when color television was a novelty.

I don't typically do rigorous analysis of what I see in twitter results, so I'll just say, it seemed like a lot of right wing accounts implying that media was covering up the shooting, or that the shooter was actually motivated by radical islam.

Eh? Yelling "fire" in a crowded theatre is most definitely still a thing you could be prosecuted for, especially if someone died/was seriously injured in the resultant stampede.
In Office, you can hit Ctrl after pasting, then "t" to select paste without formatting, which is nicer than switching from keyboard to mouse. The obnoxious thing is that, if the source text did not actually have formatting, then there is no menu that opens by Ctrl, and "t" is instead inserted verbatim. Wrecks havoc with my muscle memory, that I need to keep track of where I copied text from when pasting.
Get rid of the problem employee, toxicity will extend and it will hamper communication and trust. If you’re having these problems with such a small group that should still be in the “all for one one for all” stage it’s going to continue and be much more painful to deal with down the line if you have success.

Also if you’re starting to catch fire from your CEO (founder/cofounder) about it that’s a good indication that it’s already leading to those problems and is effecting your standing/trust with the rest of the company.
That isn't remotely true. I spend a big part of my day making sure my company's ad budget isn't wasted on websites/videos etc that we don't want to associate with.

If we could get 1 million views for a penny, we wouldn't want it if it was on a video showing a cat being brutally murdered.

Also look at the videos that are still up on her website... There is a video about the "Anal Sex Safety and Health Concerns". How much do you think views on that video are worth?

Oh man! I would love for any mapping app to notice that I always exit the Dallas North Tollway at Plano Parkway rather than Park Boulevard, because they're very close, but the Plano Parkway exit is free. I do the same thing when it wants me to merge onto the President George Bush Turnpike and immediately take the Midway Road exit. Again, Plano Parkway means one more stoplight (or two, in the case of Midway), but is a free exit. I do it over and over and over again, and yet every mapping app insists that I save a couple of seconds at the expense of 60 cents. Or maybe spend a few seconds extra at the expense of 60 seconds, depending on how luck or unlucky I am with the traffic signals.

In general, I'd love it if mapping apps wouldn't just say "this route includes tolls," but rather "this route includes tolls of $5.10" or however much, so I could decide whether saving 11 minutes is worth it.

But at least I wish they would notice that I always, always exist at Plano Parkway.
I think it’s a brilliant decision. It serves as bait to separate the vapid, superficial commenters from those who are actually interested in the technology.
Any Dirac 4-spinor can be formally decomposed into two independent Majorana spinors, so yes a Majorana spinor May be thought of as half of a conventional Dirac spinor.

On a 1D lattice this manifests itself in that one can formally decompose each electron on the chain into two Majorana spinors.

This is a trivial relabelling if degrees of freedom in the bulk of the lattice, however it reveals the possibility of topologically distinct states on the boundaries of the lattice by leaving dangling bonds on the edge.

The problem is that people don’t understand what GDRP is.

On one hand, I reluctantly appreciate Trump's election because it will force silicon valley to think many times before readily giving up user privacy to the US government. I felt like the attitude was very lax under Obama (despite the Snowden revelations).

On the other hand, this bothers me a bit because it continues to allow people in the valley to maintain a (sorry to use this word) delusion that what they are doing is "moral". If Google stops working with the Pentagon after this petition, people in the valley will pat their backs and enjoy how they are making the world a better place. They will not have any incentive to rethink the sale of user data to advertisers, creating highly addictive mentally harmful products, etc.

Overall, it's good that at least people in the valley are somewhat mindful of their actions and care about society (compared my current industry, finance). I hope they can be successful at a deeper level.
That sums it up as far as I can tell. The narrative of, "I don't want/deserve this huge windfall I'm receiving is beyond absurd." The solution seems pretty simple. Compensate those who suffered losses because of the mistakes your business made. Duh.

Those interested in how prototypes and classical inheritance relate (and don't) may be interested in work I did on GNU ease.js, which works with ECMAScript 3+. I have since extended it to support Scala-like traits.

https://www.gnu.org/software/easejs/manual/easejs.html#Imple...

I also wrote a paper on some of the concepts:

https://mikegerwitz.com/papers/coope/coope.pdf

The `class' keyword in JS still leaves much to be desired; it's just syntatic sugar around the prototype model. There's nothing wrong with that model---it's just important to understand how it differs from what OOP developers traditionally expect.

Also, wasn't "Don't be evil" dropped as a motto? I thought I read that.

Many Youtuber's pay for a package of Bots to watch their videos.

You can get 1 million views for less than 10 dollars. It used to be a great way to cheat Youtube and Advertisers, but they have gotten better and better at catching it. My guess is that she probably did this.

You can still get away with it big time, if the bots are not the majority of your traffic. If you just use them to get to sort of prime the pump. ESPECIALLY if you don't have ads enabled on the video. Then Youtube doesn't care AT ALL. Then you just use your massive view count to approach a real advertiser directly.

To be fair, I believe people are only fooled because we already do so much CGI to real human celebrities that they're already basically indistinguishable from a well-done virtual creation.

We marked these drivers as beta support to indicate that we haven't tested them to the same rigor as our internally developed features. Basic querying and transactions should work with any of these drivers, but features like introspection and less commonly-used data types haven't been extensively tested across all drivers. Many people report using these drivers in production, however, we've prioritized new feature development for CockroachDB over extensive driver testing. We encourage you to give these drivers a try and let us know if you encounter any issues--we'll be happy to fix any bugs brought to our attention.

Watch me.

> use a different service

What service is there for video creators that has a similar reach? In terms of short internet video, Youtube is a de facto monopoly. Moving to other platforms means giving up basically your entire viewership. Realistically, there is currently no "different service".

> Start a competitor

Now, it's up to me to say "you can't be serious". That's not really an option for somebody who makes a living with videos.

In the same sense as medical trial guidelines diminish scientist freedom and safety regulations regulate the freedom of engineers. Sorry, but just as I demand that if I walk into a hospital I'm being treated safely, consumers can demand the same thing from me as a developer.

I recently received an invite for the GeForceNOW beta. For the unaware, GeforceNOW is game streaming; they leverage cloud GPUs to render games, then stream the results back to you. My take away is in-line with critical consensus. If you have a sublime Internet connection, it's an awesome service. It's prone to the odd dip in quality, but all-in-all it's a major paradigm shift.

While it is good to understand how Javascript prototype inheritance works, I find it is best avoided , along with `this` and `class` syntactic sugar).

This is just getting confused between an incentive and a right. Making money on YouTube isn't exactly protected under labor laws in the same way a job is.

Ad money provides an incentive to make money, encouraging you to post some video. It isn't exactly a salary paying thing like a job.

Sure every once in a while some kid could become a millionaire posting reviews on toys. That rarely means everybody can or must.

Its also in a way the plight of so many street performers and musicians. When you go to Pier 39 in San Francisco, many performers are on the verge of begging for tips. People don't understand the concept of paying for content, and most of it works like 'Bystander effect'- If I'm not paying may be somebody else is.
>The advertisement pays for the video.

Advertisers pay for ad exposures on this platfrom, not for the video. The fact that some money goes not only for infrastructure but also to the creators, should be considered just a side effect of the need to increase viewcounts, and as a result ad exposures. Any attempt to associate particuilar algorithmically matched ads to videos and vice versa should be considered as a powergrab and an attempt at speech policing, IMO. Which is exactly what media fishing for unsightly associations is doing.

>Being associated with controversial content offends people, which drives away what could otherwise be good paying customers.

I doubt that a controversial video after youtube ads has any significant effect on driving away or attracting paying customers. Your statement requires proof. If viewers willingly choose to watch a video with a controversial topic, it's their choice, and their taste. As for media fishing expeditions "this company's algorithmically matched ad was shown before this controversial video" -- I doubt anyone reads or takes this seriously. At least at youtube video scale.

>Also, I don't think advertisers care at all to engage in moralistic or political policing of content.
