On the one hand, it's only news because it allows the media to continue the narrative they want, which is that Facebook is in trouble.

On the other hand, any publicity about well known (if only by most people through association) leaving not only reinforces the narrative but likely bolsters the reality as it effects people's opinion, so it's important in it's own right because of that.

Not as important as some Kardashian publicly quitting the platform, but important for the same reasons. Public individuals have some small (or large) level of influence over public opinion.
Dunbar's Number is actually still visible on Social Media. Here's a work of mine from a few years back about it: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal....
OBS is pretty amazing considering it's feature set, and adoption in the streaming community.
In fairness, what's stopping them from doing that and parsing the information out of a Facebook data dump?

Scale and trust mostly
nobody demands that you cook your own food. but if you aren't willing to put in the (considerable) work yourself, you are expected to pay for the labor, ingredients, and kitchen space.

what exactly makes your idea of a communal kitchen different from a restaurant? is it free?
Citations? I don't know much about European handling of drinking water.
How much is it because of reality and how much is because pf propaganda?

People on Brazil will always tell you to drink bottled water too, yet all the safety issues that make into news (always a very small note at the end of the news) are with bottled water and the sanitary standards are much more strict with tap water.
Curious about the motivation?

Are you looking for people to work for you?

Could you tell us exactly which part of Docker you think is "quite closed"? Docker (Moby) is licensed under Apache 2.0, and so is containerd, the default runtime.
I'm surprised we are not using plant based plastics.
which platform? On iOS “export chat” exports a .zip file which you can send to any app that accepts it, or to a comp using airdrop. Works pretty well for exporting all photos and videos from a chat.
So, the same can be said about writing dreary software as well. It can be fun thinking about the most effective / efficient way to move data around, or to structure your code, even if it's just for a straightforward CRUD app.
It's a subject territory which is governed by the US but has magnanimously been granted representation in the Electoral College, but not the Congress. So it's residents are slightly less excluded from participation in their own government than is the case in Puerto Rico, but only slightly so.

But, yes, it was a deliberate choice in the Constitution that the capital district would be a subject territory, a decision which was partially walked back only fairly recently by the 23rd Amendment.

We have a lot of them in the US. The usual ones are water machines for the big jugs like at Walmart. However, the companies selling machines that make bags of ice are adding purified water to their machines, too. One can see many styles by typing these words into Google images: ice vending machine bagged list.

Including the specific words since I got more nonsense results doing this search than about any other this year. Terms are too overloaded.
Why would people trust another social network by uploading all of their data which they want to keep private I'm assuming if they took it off FB? I think this is the beginning of the death of social networks, and the rise of messaging apps as the primary method of keeping in touch with your friends.
> With Cambridge Analytica, a core component of Facebook's advertising business model is threatened. Hence the inaction. With Russia, Facebook and political advertisers' interests are aligned. Hence, action.

I think more conspiratorial thinking is necessary. With [fake] political ads, the ability of FB to usurp the ruling class in the US is apparent. In this case, it was Russia but in another hypothetical case it could be FB themselves (picking and choosing the propaganda err messages to show). Since the powers that be won't take kindly to that, action.

The powers that be don't actually care about privacy, in fact they actively don't want people to have privacy. Hence, inaction for CA.
It's noteworthy that this rule existed for broadcast networks, under the rationale that they were entrusted users of a scarce shared/public resource (slices of the radio spectrum). Cable distribution of television doesn't involve a public resource and was treated differently.

In Germany it is hard to fire somebody. Almost nobody works as consultant, and consultants are not normal job positions.

I wonder if the embedded world has been utilizing the same economies of scale that web developers "discovered" 20 years ago.

There are significant amounts of hardware hacking going on in every engineers house as they try to invent a better lightswitch. There are opensource projects, such as HomeAssistant, and Domoticz, which allow anyone to stand on the shoulders of these giants.
My point is that there is only so much you can learn from someone exhibiting a raft of bad actor behaviors.

Also there's this older piece from him here:

https://www.newyorker.com/business/currency/facebook-should-...

Basically Wu has a much more radical critique of facebook which is probably best explained in his own words (from the npr piece):

>I think the problem lies here. It's actually a very fundamental one, which is Facebook is always in the position of serving two masters. If its actual purpose was just trying to connect friends and family, and it didn't have a secondary motive of trying to also prove to another set of people that it could gather as much data as possible and make it possible to manipulate or influence or persuade people, then it wouldn't be a problem. For example, if they were a nonprofit, it wouldn't be a problem.

>I think there's a sort of intrinsic problem with having for-profit entities with this business model in this position of so much public trust because they're always at the edge because their profitability depends on it.
They also don't get the federal vote (unless they move to a US state). Taxation without representation was one of the primary rallying cries of the American Revolution. Would be quite ironic to then go and tax people and simultaneously deny them representation.
The flavour partially down to several factors.

Psychology is one. Many blind tests of tap water filled in bottles has people fooled.

Temperature is another. Ice cool water, from office water coolers, or just with ice cubes. Partially again psychology but cool water tastes better, tap or not.

Source and water treatment obviously matters the most. In my experience tap water in Norway tastes really nice. It is where I grew up so my taste buds expect water to taste like that so that may be a reason, but I think it is also down to the source of the water and its filtration technology. And it is cold water. I only choose to drink bottled water there when it is more convenient, not for flavour. (Other mountainous, water-rich 1st world countries I have been to also seems to have nice flavoured water).

But where I live now, in another flat, full of people country, the tap water is very safe and clean but I do not like the flavour. I still drink it to quench a thirst but prefer bottled when there is a choice.

So I guess for large parts of the world the flavour will be decided by where they live.

Filters like https://www.brita.com probably makes it nicer but at an individual cost and less convenient.
Not to mention using it to support a status quo that prevents the information from aging so quickly, maintaining its relevance. News about rocks will remain popular if the spear is never invented.
That's an excellent point and great suggestion as an alternative option. Thanks for sharing it. I'll bring it up during my discussion with him.
Richard Stallman has a nice write up on his thoughts about Facebook: https://stallman.org/facebook.html
Before anyone says Facebook's testimony is just fluff, we're a business that relies on Facebook's API to monitor activity, and we've been severely impacted. We no longer can get data as before - it's having a large effect on our business. So we definitely feel that action is being taken.
what about the toppings, sauces ect?
By looking at the comments this article is creating confusion. So I thought I might provide an overview of the two things happening with ChromeOS.

1) Android apps have been enabled on many Chromebooks using a locked container that shares a Linux kernel with ChromeOS. You do NOT have access to the container mechanism that is being used. It ONLY supports a container locked by Google. It is NOT using Docker also.

This is available on both ARM and X86 Chromebooks and most recent models are now supported. It took a while.

All Android apps run in a single container.

2) Starting with ChromeOS 67 and only on Pixel books so far there is full GNU/Linux capabilities on a Chromebook without having to put the Chromebook in developer mode.

Developer mode is how you turn off much of the security of a Chromebook and keeping in this state is a bit of a hassle as when you boot you MUST remember not to hit the wrong keys and wipe your CB.

What Google has done is enable the KVM on the Chromebook ChromeOS Linux kernel. So you can run a second Linux kernel where you have full control of the second Linux kernel.

Then on top of this VM Google is pushing the use of containers. So these containers are completely separate from the Android containers.

Then all the containers on the VM share a common Linux kernel that is separate from the Android and ChromeOS kernel.

What this does is keeps the highly secure aspect of ChromeOS while giving you full GNU/Linux on the machine.

Google has also enabled forward GUI of the GNU/Linux VM to the ChromeOS desktop.

So say you start XClock on the VM the window will open up on the ChromeOS desktop.

What is also confusing to people is GNU/Linux has been available on Chromebooks for a long time. There has been a number of ways to use.

1) Put CB into developer, install Crouton and you have GNU/Linux. But to use Docker you MUST use rkt to start the containers.

2) Install the Android GNURoot app. This gives you GNU/Linux but in a fake chroot that breaks many things. You can also use the Android XSDL app for the GUI. Since Google implemented ALL Android apps in a common container the IP is the same for both GNURoot and the XSDL app.

In ChromeOS 67 Google has fixed the IPs used by the Android container and now using the NAT reserved IPs instead of private IPs. This solves a weird bug you would run into where you had a IP conflict if you used the same private IPs elsewhere.

Google is also using the NAT reserved IPs with the new GNU/Linux support through a VM.

It looks like Google will be packaging GNU/Linux applications like Android Studio in containers that you can then run on a Chromebook with just a click. But will they be in the play store is unclear. But these containers will run on the VM.

Google will have ChromeOS 67 hitting stable at the same time as Google IO where they are rumored to explain things better. All of this new GNU/Linux support with a VM is in beta.
I think you missed what I said. I said ask a doctor about other doctors. Most doctors have a good sense of which other doctors are competent and which are not. These aren't the opinions of random people. This is particularly true of specialists.

The Encryption Debate Isn't About Stopping Terrorists, It's About Solving Crime
The theoretical pottery class is the practical result of what happens when education budgets are reduced. Something has to go, so it's typically the optional electives with higher-than-normal base costs and average-or-less college prep relevance like pottery, shop, dance, etc. Still, is this a great loss in terms of preparing people to distinguish reality? If not, why is cutting education spending such a big problem?

Basically I'm asking you to define "education" and why the solution to so many problems is simply more of it. After all, what "educated" people thought Christ was crucified and then resurrected?
This would seem to raise the question here whether the big problem was breaking Facebook's ToS or the loss of privacy. I'm somewhat surprised to find people flagging the former as the bigger concern, but then again, this sort of thing is why I never created a Facebook account.
it is also a lot more expensive to achieve true 1:1 redundancy, for a mid sized ISP.

let's say you're an ISP in monrovia, liberia. you can buy for N dollars per month a non redundant, single 10 Gbps transport circuit via the ACE cable that comes out the other end at some carrier POP in france, non diverse.

now you want to achieve some sort of diversity in case your cable route is cut, as the present cable has been.

you need to buy another separate 10Gbps circuit from monrovia to accra, ghana, going the other direction, establish a node in accra, and then buy another (physically diverse, in a different submarine cable) 10 Gbps circuit from accra to western europe.

or buy a circuit from monrovia to cape town and then something that is guaranteed to be physically diverse from cape town onwards to the internet. either by getting a transport circuit from cape town to western europe/france/UK, or buying IP transit from .ZA ISPs, or some combination of the two.
1. Most things fall into this category: Lack of clarity in the law (and a remaining lack of clarity from WP29 and the Commission) about dozens of issues. The Privacy Professional community has been proactive about trying to get info on a lot of these items, but there's just not much coming, and in a few cases what has come out has either departed from what seemed like more obvious meanings or in some cases has muddied the waters further.

2. The essential ban on offering services, downloads, etc. in exchange for consent to use data reduces consumer autonomy and will decrease the availability of free resources.

3. It will be extremely easy to use SARs maliciously, and the law includes NO check whatsoever on this. All it would take to cripple many SMBs is for some jerk to spin up a website that provides a nasty SAR template (that the users don't even realize is such a burden) that random people on the Internet can auto-send to every business they've ever used under some innocuous-sounding reason like "See what information businesses have on you!" 99% aren't using data against subjects' interests, so the net effect of this alone (in the way it is designed) is potentially-immense costs for small benefits.

As a recommendation, the $250 my company spent on buying me a membership to the IAPP has been one of the highest ROI decisions in recent memory. It has saved me a ton of time and effort (and the company quite a bit of money) from the member resources available, and the members listserv is essentially free light consulting from people who have already dug into everything.
How long do you think?
That's an interesting question. It definitely doesn't fit in any definition. DC is on US soil, yet it doesn't have the same political representation of any other cities, states or unincorporated territories. It's an anomaly?
Or, just how much political speech is really influenced by belief? There are many people that genuinely believe stuff which is factually inaccurate (homeopathy, e.g.). If they post about the FDA being run by "big pharma" what do you do?
I provided two citations already. One showed that GDP per worker is directly correlated to national IQ. That suggests a strong trend across the entire GDP of countries, not one-off highly specific jobs. The second described the growing body of evidence that an IQ test is the single most useful datum you could get about a potential hire. The only serious debate I've seen is which is really more useful: EQ or IQ.

Companies and hiring managers will try to use the best proxies for guessing potential worker productivity they can get. Denying them objective data leads to them relying on much less accurate, more subjective, and more biased "wisdom." For example, the "ban the box" movement has totally backfired. Employers still don't want to hire criminals, so they just avoid groups with high crime rates even more, specifically: minorities [0]. By denying employers to treat you as an individual who has a specific criminal, educational, IQ record, you are left with them treating you as your group identity.

Well said! Thank you for your comments.

With all that said, my point was that it's not obvious what is and isn't reasonable. Hiring a security specialist won't necessarily help you understand what bureaucrats will or won't deem reasonable, especially when there's no history to provide context.

But they are being fined at E1000's a day. In the UK we now have projects forced to go through regular if not frequent traffic light reviews - a panel of actual experts reviews the project - i think it was one such thing that killed the NHS network project (12 billion over spend). one panel, one review. saved money.

i suspect the french gov will have put something similar in place, but i do agree with the final paragraph of the piece - it's probably a corrupt practise not top management stupidity.

Confused about this. How are you making money? Why do I need a central server? Is part of your unique (presumably commercial) offering that we can't run servers ourselves?

I find it interesting how good the top schools are at making sure they get credit for things. I often read "Harvard scientist..., MIT grads, Stanford..." in headlines. You rarely read "University of Minnesota" (just a made up example) so the casual reader may think that Harvard, MIT and Stanford are the only schools that do interesting things.

And it really works. At a startup I worked at we had a guy from MIT and whenever the VCs talked to to the low ranks they inevitable ended up talking to him. And no, he was not the best engineer. Not even close.
