>These people didn't see their jobs as unethical until someone really put a spotlight on what they do.

That reflects a certain quality in the individual that I generally think of as bad, but I suppose may have some place in the greater scheme of coporate america. However I generally think that we have a moral imperative to constantly ask ourselves, "is this right? . . . 'Are we baddies'?

I've understood that Facebook is essentially evil for a decade. People who work there who are jumping ship now either look like they aren't paying attention but are moralizing the company's action or are abandoning a sinking ship, neither are really positive traits in a potential employee.

Why do we take sex so seriously? What's wrong with trivializing it? We don't make a big deal about kissing, or playing golf? Animals often fuck without consent (although most other mammals have mating sessions that last less than 15 seconds).

There is a really interesting dynamic in humans where we have either evolved or socially constructed (or both) this very strong sense of importance (and also shame) around sex. Part of this has to do with ownership and the fact that we possess things and status which we pass on to a known set of descendants.

You can look at a beautiful peace of art that's colorful and evokes incredible emotions .. and that's art. Two people fucking and it's not art, it's porn .. unless it's in an art gallery as an exhibit about the porn industry.

I wish our University wasn't so insanely big. It'd be interesting to find other sentient life and see if all life tends to evolve this specific attitude around sex or if it's unique to our species.
Total dodge on the question about shadow profiles. Here's hoping someone follows up on that.
Facebook VII: oops i f up again
In Norway we have "BankID" which is a 2FA solution for authentication and digital signature. It started as a normal 2FA solution with a hardware token combined with username (social security number) and password. A few years ago they introduced a mobile solution where you don't get a SMS or get prompted by an app, but rather it's some kind of functionality on the SIM card. Very convenient and works on all banks, most finance institutions and everywhere else you need to sign things.
Because programming languages are typically designed for the tiny group of existing programmers than the much larger group of future programmers. The same reason unnecessary tokens exist, and 'drop' means delete in databases. It's entirely cultural.
>> Sex is one of the last places where women have more power than men.

It's interesting that you point that out. Some claim that plenty of women use their sexuality to manipulate men, to trade sex for resources (marriage), and other such things. By legalizing prostitution you deprive the rest of the women from being able to do this - guys don't have to buy the cow when they can get the milk on an as-needed basis for a negotiated price and no strings attached.
I don't know why you're being downvoted. I agree completely. Sex work, when legal and regulated, is just like any other vocation. Putting female sex workers onto some inexplicable pedestal doesn't make sense.

It seems like ihsw2 has a problem with markets in general. I agree that it sucks sometimes people are forced to do things they don't like for economic reasons, but that is not a problem specific to prostitution, and treating prostitution like a special class of work that's somehow different from other jobs is counterproductive to what sex workers are trying to accomplish, I believe.
I meant password manager/safe.

Sorry for that mix up.
It's pretty cringe-y so far. From The Verge's liveblog:

According to the Lobbying Disclosure Reports[0], if you add up outside council for Facebook, they're paying about $156,000 PER MONTH on lobbyists. You'll want to look at 2017 Q4 reports, as Q1 is not yet due and they don't file until it's absolutely due.

Wait, you answer the question before having seen every single movie? How irresponsible.
I'm also not the guy who solves the most tasks in absolute numbers, but apparently everyone appreciates the work I do and the quality of said work, and trust my judgement and input on other subjects. I feel that's a lot better than solving tasks super quick.
Why do you think we're getting richer at their expense? They're getting richer by trading with us. I mean, it's not impossible to turn a profit from some developing nation, but most of the value in the markets is from developed countries. You can only make so much money off of low-end cheap foreign labor.

Apple relies very heavily on customized silicon to provide an edge (Lower power consumption, for example, or extra features). This means that there might be a part out there that's sorta close, but not quite. Once Apple starts pushing their customized silicon, the off-the-shelf part doesn't keep up.
Having Theranos on your resume might not help things along either. HR is often risk adverse and might think staying clear is a good move even it is paranoid.
My apologies for assuming.

I would say there aren't so many examples of companies with heavily remote workforces thriving. As a founder, this was the subject of a lot of internal debate. I largely came to the same conclusion as a lot of companies: remote slows down execution, and execution is probably the single most important thing for a small company.

Also, this article discussed something different than building a remote team, and more in line with what most customers want: hire a mostly pre-made remote team all at once. The desired advantage is less cost savings and more speed. Building a remote team yourself is much more likely to work, but also probably slow enough that it's not worth it. You have to find a remote teach lead + hiring manager, work with him or her enough to trust him or her, and then empower that person to run hiring cycles.
I thought that Judaism had some sort of exception that allowed usury in the case of lending to non-Jewish people. This was why many banks back then were run by them.

Yeah, the only thing in the article I disagree with.
Jailing the women who practice is not the only option here.

The nordic model advocates that it's only the buyers who are penalized. Women are then given services that provide a path towards a different means of earning income. The idea is that by making it riskier for the buyer, the average John won't bother with looking for that type of service. The aim is to reduce demand for prostitution in general, which in turn should reduce the demand for trafficking for the purposes of prostitution. Studies do indeed show that countries with this model (Sweden) have less incidence of human trafficking than countries with legalization (Netherlands).

There is a tradeoff though with that model. Mainly that the Johns who remain in the market are more likely to be dangerous.

This is not a clear cut feminist issue though. Many feminists do indeed believe sex work as an industry is harmful to women, even if regulated for worker safety. There are feminists who are ex-sex workers that advocate this position.
Doesn't it depend a lot on what age you take the test though? Like I was very smart for my age as a child and I tested very high. Later in life I'm probably not much higher than my peers.

"Lots of words"?!

You just reduced the linked comment - a nuanced, neutrally presented argument that there are significant practical and philosophical difficulties inherent to refusing to develop technology for military application - to "lots of words", followed by what is effectively a rhetorical sneer.

You don't have to agree with every comment asserting an opposing view, but at least give them a modicum of respect if they put in as much intellectual effort as that one. Why even bother commenting if you're just going to issue a middle-brow dismissal without a substantive critique?
You've mistaken what I mean when I say "shitcoin bubble". I'm talking about the thousands of ICOs that are utter garbage. At some point that has to fall apart.

Eventually you burn enough people and there's nobody left to scam, or governments step in to regulate it. There's a reason you don't see stock peddling scams anymore.

It looks like a nice experiment with interesting new technology, but calling this a "breakthrough" is just an exaggeration (until they find the particles they are looking for).
You're right, of course, but as scottie_m points out, the main issue here is one around messaging.

The enemy of getting this fixed is complexity. Once we start targeting individual companies, types of internet connections, or hardware devices? We've lost. It's all over.

It's not these things don't need fixing, it's that we have about ten words or so to put into a slogan. That slogan needs to be repeated over and over again. I am a firm believer in Net Neutrality -- but that's not the right slogan to march under. If we get Net Neutrality and everything else stays the same, it's a complete loss.

By shifting the focus to each user, we can talk more directly about benefits. And by making penalties perhaps draconian, we can leave the management of the complexities to the vendors, where it belongs, instead of the public debate, where the lawyers win.

Privacy and anonymity are much bigger fish to fry than whether YouTube costs more than Instagram. If we could come up with a simple slogan to cover both of them, sign me up. Otherwise? We gotta stop everybody from putting telemetry on every detail of our lives.

Before the 60s in the U.S., there was pervasive and deeply-held racism, but most people didn't see it, even those who wanted to be morally superior to everybody else. (See the movie "The Help"). Many times I think of what that issue is for us. What will we look back on in 50 years as being barbaric and evil? What is our current equivalent to the Civil Rights campaigns?

It's storing tracking data about the minute parts of people's lives. We will either morally overcome this or we will enter a new Dark Ages. There's no middle ground. Here. Here is the moral battle.

Bertrand Russels 'In Praise of Idleness' describes it perfectly: it is sufficient to work just so much that you have enough money to spend the rest of the day with whatever you enjoy, without considering its usefulness and even less your productivity.
Is that true?

If we're all just stating our experiences. I find that those who care, care intensely, perhaps immovably, and everyone else just floats along.
The Blogroll: Week 5
You also wouldn't have the PATRIOT act and the TSA (and a host of other junk) if some terrorists hadn't flown planes into the WTC.

Bad actors doesn't excuse bad law, and good intentions does not make unintended consequences any less real.
Making pornography is only legal if you comply with certain regulations. For example you need to validate that all the "actors" were adults (sane enough). But then you also need to maintain a place that is accessible to law enforcement during business hours so they can drop in and check your records to validate all the "actors" were over the legal age (sane enough, especially if the thinking is only businesses generate porn).

But then the way the laws are written, a couple recording a sex tape is covered under these regulations. If they don't maintain the proper records, they could find themselves being indicated under child porn laws, even though they were both consenting adults.
Alternatively, the good ones that stay in India may not be interested in working as contractors for Westerners. India has a population of 1.3 billion - there are certainly some top of the line engineers and computer scientists there.
I would be shocked if Tesla is not on the list.

They do not take very kindly to people even daring to connect to the diagnostic port on their cars, literally calling people on the phone (because of course their servers log everything you ever do with the car and they know who owns each car) and telling them to stop: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/610152/

It does not bode well for any sort of attempt to repair the things.
So what's your solution?

Sex robots? (I'm not kidding). If there are people willing to pay for sex, and people willing to have sex for money, how do you stop them from entering into this transaction, whether regulated or unregulated?

I can see you are morally opposed to prostitution, but, like, what's your solution here? What, in your head, is the lesser of all evils that can be practically implemented and enforced?
A bog-standard RNG might generate passwords depending on what second you ran it, so an attacker can easily make a list of all the passwords generated in a specific month or year.

People have lost a lot of bitcoins this way.

It might be okay for a security question, but better safe than sorry. Just use a secure generator for everything.

Except customer service is often trying to help you remember, and you can guess a few times.... a scammer will say something like, "Oh man, I can't remember what I picked... sometimes I choose a random car model, but sometimes I just put random characters", and if either is true, the customer service rep might confirm it.
Other things would have other options. You might have a bluetooth or nfc device that has a "momentary" button, that e.g. you have to press less than five seconds before any particular web request.

By that reasoning all dangerous jobs should be off limits to poor people. Young people shouldn't be able to register for military service (especially during wars when "bonuses" are high). Poor people shouldn't be allowed to work as garbage collectors (garbage collectors have a higher fatality rate than law enforcement). The list could go on...
Also, sorry but I'll (probably) never use anything other than emacs. I already invested ~10 years of customization. Most people did the same for other editors, IDEs etc. Its way too ambitious to make your own editor for a programming language. No project uses just one language. I'm not going to use emacs for 3 other languages and your app for one other. If your language is way too good, I'll try port an emacs mode and ignore your editor. Half your business model is already ignored by me.
Good advice, I'll set it up. The problem I ran into with react-router-redux was the requirement of using location to provide the value for a key on CSSTransition. I had to use this implementation to solve the problem of the missing exit animation. https://reacttraining.com/react-router/web/example/animated-...

This uncovered a new problem for nested animations. The high-level page transition animation occurs even when the url root does not change. So I need to be able to ignore animations on Route components located high in the VirtualDOM, and apply animations (sometimes different animations) on Route components located further down.

Maybe you already know of an elegant solution to solve this problem? If so let me know! In the meantime, I'll keep bang'n on this.

Edit:

Concerning giving an indication that a panel has been opened, I'd just use CSSTransition wrapped around whatever element that is going to be introduced to show that it has been opened. Then define your 'enter' animation in css.

If that seems like overkill, and you can't use did mount to determine if the animation should be applied, then I'd just add a css className to your element to introduce some animation defined in CSS.

Obviously, I may be misunderstanding your use cases here. The above are just knee-jerk thoughts on it.
And do you not see why this is a problem?

> In conjunction with the next version of npm, shipping with Node.js version 10, we’ll introduce a series of new security features available to every npm user, directly integrated into the npmjs.com registry and the npm command line tool.

I'm personally really excited by this. The nsp tool is fantastic, and having these sorts of tools available for all engineers will inform and educate.

> Soon, we’ll also introduce a series of security products specifically tailored to the unique requirements of corporate developers and enterprises.

Curious what that means; since part of this acquisition is the sunsetting of https://nodesecurity.io/ does that mean that npm will be providing those services instead?
I wonder how this applies to those moisture-evident stickers they used to put inside phones so they could deny warranty if you answered a call in the rain or spilled a drink on the table or something similar.

Technically, they don't say that wetting the sticker will void your warranty, but if the sticker shows that it was wet, the manufacturer would have denied warranty coverage anyway.
If you have tons of money to spare, you can afford to throw money “at the wall” and see what sticks. For every case of losing money, there’s probably a lot more that pays off, especially when a billionnaire can afford to have entire staff working to minimize the chance of bad investments. If a great opportunity arises, you can put much more into the pot (most people would have to put their whole life savings in).

Also, any single problem isn’t likely to completely screw you, you just pay for it and move on. For many people, they are literally one step from bankruptcy and can’t have anything go wrong.

Also, if you can afford even slightly nicer stuff, it is probably better-made and won’t require outright replacement. You can afford more insurances to avoid paying the full cost of what you do replace. (Most people will never do this.)

And the rich have way, way more time. They probably aren’t figuring out how to juggle two jobs, taking many-hour commutes, etc., all of which gives even more opportunity.

And that’s just off the top of my head, there’s probably more. You can’t even begin to equalize a system with so much advantage built in to one side.

My guess is that it starts by giving people more time. Fix the “need two jobs” problem permanently. Make housing more affordable to minimize travel.

Why is the FB leak getting more attention and momentum that the Equifax hack?
FB should definitely be held to the fire, but it frustrates me that there is more momentum to regulate FB and prevent a similar situation than what happened with Equifax.

The latter has more implication on damaging a person's prospects of living productively in society (think about all the stuff your credit score impacts) than the Facebook data leak.

At least FB is voluntary - you can't opt out of social security numbers.

User data was obtained via means not allowed by Facebook. Facebook realized this & didn't disclose it to the US government or its users, as required (or, at the very least questionably required) by its consent decree with the FTC. Based on this, it's not out of line for the government to question Facebook about this.
