Google initially de-indexed 345 specific webpages associated with Datalink on google.ca.

Equustek then sought an injunction to stop Google from displaying any part of the Datalink websites on any of its search results worldwide.

Google already agreed to pull the listings. It's when they wanted the whole website removed that they pushed back.
We could skew fonts now if we wanted to. TTF fonts are mostly quadratic Bezier curves so we can redefine what the axes to use when rendering the font glpyhs. Instead of i = (1, 0), j = (0, -1) we can use i = (1, 0) j = (0.3, -1). There's a lot more to fonts obviously like bitmap glyphs, hinting, kerning, etc but we could build in some params if we wanted to.

I have a few WP devices that had more updates than all my Android systems together.

Until Google gets really starts forcing the OEMs to provide updates, nothing will change for the regular users.

Treble is not the solution, as the OEMs are the ones that should provide the updates and certification is only required if devices are actually shipped with 8.0.

Of course technically inclined users will just root their devices, assuming they are willing to trust random downloadable firmware blobs.
> Is it really reasonable to think that they don't have even more data than they let you download?

No. They have more data. They have lots more data. Browsing history for example via trackers.

And no, we (Americans) do not have any meaningful laws. Nothing. Nor do we have any rights to privacy. We have no right to know what personal private information is being collected, bought, or sold.

Yes, yes it does.

When Microsoft acquired LinkedIn I suspected they will go for the top talent with this. Think about it:

Based on users' data and behavior, one can anticipate whether or not he/she is going to quit/leave his/her current job. Microsoft recruiters can then swoop in and offer him/her a job.

Or for example, Microsoft can essentially map all the top IT talents network and use this to its advantage.

The list goes on...

"I doubt they needed this cash infusion, but it could make sense to drive even more growth."

I doubt that's the case. If it is, then their management just made a huge mistake. Raising money always has a cost attached. Raise enough money and your exit strategy becomes very constrained -- i.e. fewer companies have the capital to acquire a company with higher valuations. Eventually IPO becomes your only option. Your investors would also expect you to generate a good ROI on the money they gave you. Unless the terms are ridiculously good, you shouldn't raise money willy-nilly.

Checkr doesn't seem like a company that requires insane growth. There's no network effect to exploit. I doubt each additional customer or each additional background record improves their business on an unit by unit basis.

I actually don't have any experience in that, but I think that you can absolutely do it. From what I understand, the IDEs just call the Flutter CLI and Dart analysis server, among other tools to get stuff done. From the top of my head, "flutter run", "flutter test", "flutter analyze", "flutter packages get" would be the commands you'd be using the most and could survive without using any IDEs. Of course you'd lose the autocompletion along with other IDE niceties, but I really believe that could be done. One thing is you might have to open XCode once to do the provisioning profile setup, but after that you should be good.

I'm hoping someone with more experience could chime in.
Tesla has made three statement about this accident:

- Original: https://www.tesla.com/blog/what-we-know-about-last-weeks-acc...

- Update: https://www.tesla.com/blog/update-last-week%E2%80%99s-accide...

- Newest: http://abc7news.com/automotive/exclusive-tesla-issues-strong...

None of which address the multiple videos of people reproducing the accident at the same and different locations, and none take any responsibility for this likely bug (lane centering in non-lanes) introduced in an over the air update.

Even Reddit's Tesla Motors sub which used to be a 24/7 Tesla celebrating has been pretty negative about Tesla's handling of this incident, and I'm talking regular posters and verified Tesla owners.
My guess is that surface craters and details look more pronounced on the Moon than the Earth due to the fact that the craters are in fact larger relative to the overall size of the planetary body they are on. Our brain is going to automatically compare the peaks and valleys of whatever feature we are looking relative to the body it is on. And when that body is much larger, the details appear less pronounced, when in reality they are the same size as the one on their smaller-body counterparts. The eye simply has more to take in, and thus downplays the contrast caused by the elevation changes. I hope that makes sense.

As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, it's probably so they don't recommend those connections in the future. I think the average user would be much more upset at facebook recommending they add their ex as a friend (because of course you have a lot of mutual connections, tagged pictures, and other flags that might indicate a strong bond) than just keeping a black list of people you've chosen to remove.
I understand the point that you and Facebook each made. That is a different point than the one I did.

I felt violated. I don't care what tools Facebook used to make sure my PII wasn't given to a third party, that was personal data. It was data I explicitly marked as "nobody's business" but they used it invasively. Their long-form response was summarized "so what? We probably knew you broke up without telling us anyway"
Whenever i see people talk about languages (and CPU assembly is a language, each CPU arch has its own dialect), what it comes down to seems to be how "verbose" the programmer has to be about things.

Meaning that if they have to care about memory structures, or even variable types (just look at how popular JS and Python is), they see it as a bothersome language to work with.

End result though is software that balloons to multiple gigs and maxes out a gigahertz CPU just by being launched and sitting idle.

Yup, or just go to an east coast city (though apparently NYC is sort of terrible right now). I'm originally from Boston and while the city isn't perfect it has a solid offering in terms of moving through the metropolitan area efficiently, whether you reside directly on a T line or not.

Cities built before cars were as widespread as they are now had to put a lot more effort into making themselves livable and providing sane ways to move about the city locally (for daily needs) and regionally (for occasional needs)

That's somehow even more vague than GP. I think the issue is pretty clear: The US has too expensive healthcare, and too low quality in relation to that price.

The solution "incentives" isn't really constructive in solving that issue, if you don't suggest what those incentives are.

And as for your comment: within this problem space, everyone defining their own healthcare system and solving it is even less constructive.

That seems, with all due respect, bananas. There are loads of reasons to have a link in your post, not least because you may use a third party photo host and you want to link to your holiday snaps without having to copy everything everywhere.

Even ignoring that though, you can't share recipes, tracks on youtube, programming blog posts, a cool pair of shoes, a link to a book your friend has been looking for for years...?

Links are the web, it would feel hollow without them.

Consumers like it when their 10 year old video games still work, but those users probably weren't buying Macs to begin with.
Advertisers have succeeded for years and years using Billboard, Radio, TV, Newspaper, and magazines with very limited viewer demographics.

I don't understand why we've decided as a society that the advertisers DESERVE all the data they want. Better serving the needs of the consumer is complete joke, it's all about control.

This is one of the few area where the government, meaning you and I, NEEDS to step up and protect the citizens.

ALL data collection should be opt in, I should know what data they collect, who they share it with, and for what purpose. I should have the options to opt out and have all my data deleted.

I have known for a long time, even before the scandal, that my time on the socalled social media site was coming to an end.

Being a software engineer I believe I am aware of a good deal of what is going on behind the scenes at Facebook, in terms of collecting data etc.

Talking to people which has no technical insight around
privacy, and what data is collected as such, frustrates me to a whole new level than before.

It amazes me that people don't sit down for a couple of hours and tries to understand how the company works and what their business model is based on. And what data is collected from them, with or without their knowledge.

There are so many documented cases of inequal pay... I don't know where to begin.

The article isn't bunk though - it does point out cases that appear to be pay inequality but are actually functions of behavior; such as men preferring "things" and women preferring "people" - where the latter does not scale.

But that doesn't make this article right, either. Women are often taken advantage of in payscale - largely because the less agreeable men can take advantage of the typically more agreeable women. We see this in the news, and I have friends who have been through it.

I think a better argument to make would be that pay inequality is not so cut & dry. Sometimes it's really just the result of side effects (like women uber drivers earning less), and other times it is discriminatory (like hollywood).

Still, I was surprised (more disappointed) to see such an accredited author making such a poor argument in an article. Needed some more time in the thinking oven if you ask me.
Also, the people with the money to pay for Facebook are also probably the ones that have the money advertisers are after.

I have toyed with the idea of a service where people voluntarily registered for ads relevant to a list of their interests. Users then could log in to a site to view ads directed at their interests. The site manager would sell access for advertisers subject to appropriate rules while preserving privacy.

People don't use Facebook etc. to get relevant ads. The ads I'm proposing would out compete Facebook's ads because the recipient would actually want to see these ads.
Facebook makes something like $25 per user on average. I’d pay that to Facebook if it meant no advertising and no tracking all year.

I agree, and part of your message is one of my strong objections. Public transit shouldn't be measured in terms of income-cost for profitability, most commercial ventures come with externalities of some sort and public transit provides a strongly net positive externality effect, it helps to subsidize business costs (cheaper transit can be seen as a subsidy to wages), retail prices (again, paying less gas/time/whatever to purchase a good makes it cheaper and reduces amazon's advantage) and psychology (IMO wanderlust is a real human need, being stuck in pattern for too long lowers productivity)

It's a public service and one that society should be happy to invest in. Governments that balance the books on public transit with accountants alone are acting against the societal good.

Plus there's going to be interaction between the genes. After all, that's exactly what evolution is trying to evaluate. If it was possible to simply know the answer, don't you think it would have found that in 3 billion years runtime ?

Duplicate some hollywood star's genes ? Maybe even a scientist's ? Some combination ? Perhaps (have fun being the first one to try it though). "Perfect" genes/humans ? No way. It'll take decades before we can create smarter humans. "Duplicate" your beloved pet ? Sure (domesticated animals are pretty close to clones already, but whatever).

However, it'd be much easier to create the perfect dishwasher/street wiper/soldier. Obedient, maybe even dependent on a drug and unable to reproduce by themselves (ala Monsanto plants). And the question isn't whether we can stop the US military from doing that. The question is whether we can stop China.
> It's not a platform issue, it's a monetization issue.

This is kind of what I was getting at. I agree, the business model of the platform is the defining variable in how it will develop and how it treats users. Unfortunately there is no general willingness to pay for a social network. Facebook's ARPU in the US is something like $100/year. I would be willing to pay that for a social media platform that did zero business with advertisers. I don't think most people would though.
Funny because at least over in the Linux world i feel the complexity has come as people had started hunting for "perfection".
