I left Facebook years ago for this kind of privacy scraping antisocial greed (and LinkedIn et al), but one thing I'm curious about with this latest 'revelation' is whether or not you can get information about your shadow profile.

Presumably that doesn't mean an email address, they actually collate information about you the individual - what's the process of having a look at that?
Fascinating that these scenes are still thriving, just recently saw "8-Bit Guy"'s postmortem video on writing and shipping a game for C64.
Tesla claims it is. “Tesla Autopilot does not prevent all accidents – such a standard would be impossible – but it makes them much less likely to occur. It unequivocally makes the world safer for the vehicle occupants, pedestrians and cyclists.” — https://www.tesla.com/blog/update-last-week%E2%80%99s-accide...
It's not fully clear what Zillow is offering here, but my reading is that Zillow is buying homes, quickly fixing them up, and selling them. If this is what they are doing, I can see a lot of value in these "Zillow Approved" flipped houses.

I've read a lot of online horror stories where people buy flipped homes only to realize they bought a lemon. Houses with shoddy construction work, code violations, and the new owners are stuck with tens of thousands of $ in repairs.

Home inspections help, but they don't catch everything. Anything inside the walls, such as poor plumbing/electric work, are unlikely to be flagged.

I'd be happy to pay a 0.5% to 1% premium on the sales price to be assured the people who renovated this house followed local housing code, used proper construction procedures, and used decent materials.
Shkreli got in trouble for lying to his investors about losses in his hedge fund. He paid them back later, but to the feds that was a little like robbing a bank, then winning the lottery a few years later and deciding to give the bank its money back.
Well yes, I think so, for these reasons:

1. Most articles have simple layouts, like this one, https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/12/us/politics/trump-trans-p...

2. Most reporters were journalism majors, which teaches research, interviewing, and writing. Graphic design is a separate discipline. It is possible for one person to be good at both, but rare.

3. Companies tend to cut up work, especially big companies, like the New York Times.

4. Complex articles like this one, https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/entertainment/v..., aren't tossed over the wall. But that doesn't mean that one person did it all either. I'm sure there was back and forth between the writer and designers, and likely an editor oversaw it all.

Whatever works. However, I am not keen on such hoops. Objectively, relative to "just commit to master" that is a pretty high overhead contribution process.

It is not immediate, needs to wait for another human to be around and mentally present, demands some sort of QA standards are created and commonly understood, and creates the need to make and manage a forum for listing and discussing merge requests.

You could get some of the way and retain instant feedback with automated tests, yet remove a lot of the overhead.

There is a distinction between Ethics and Morals. Morals are the things you value, like liberty and happiness. Ethics are decision-making systems that you configure with morals. They are designed to aid you in situations where two or more of your morals/values are in conflict.

Before talking about Utilitarianism, we first must talk about it's parent Consequentialism. The basics are this; Consequentialists state that the outcomes of an ethical decision should leave the outcome in a superior moral position. This is opposite of such systems like Kantian Virtue Ethics that state a more a priori value on the decision, even if the outcome is negatively affected. Honor might be a Virtue Ethic, since you would always act honorably even if the situation makes that a bad course of action.

Utilitarianism is a balance point between two Consequentialist children: Ethical Egoism and Ethical Altruism. Both (respectively) examine the outcome based on the individual making the decision, and the rest of the situation outside of the individual. Combining both Utilitarianists examine the outcomes of both the individual and the surrounding environment when determining which course of action to take.

tl;dr: Ethics are amoral systems of decision making that tell you where and how to apply your morals.
As long as Musk's companies accurately disclose what the money they're raising is going to be used for, I don't think there is any issue. Shkreli was convicted because he claimed to investors that he was going to invest in x but actually invested in y.
The most logical funders of journals are the university via their libraries. They pay lion's share of the money under the current system. And competition isn't really doing much in this particular industry. A guess free riding could be an issue, but they are all non-profits to begin with.
Functional in JavaScript never made sense to me, we don't have immutability in the language. While V8 has made optimisations for short lived objects this doesn't hold true across the board so perf can be quite terrible with "pure" style FP.

Theoretically "pure" code is beautiful, in practice it tends to perform badly especially in languages that don't have value types and copy mechanisms.
My mind warps a little when I look at today's valuations. A company that can go to space, at one tenth or less that of companies that live off of social communication and advertising.

I'm not saying its wrong. Just, personally, cause for pause.

But even with the current less targeted option Facebook offers, or say your option of paying:

Would other Facebook apps still have as wide an array of data on users that we've seen? And if apps can see it then Facebook itself is still gathering it... even if ads aren't targeted.
It's very rare that someone does everything from the basic science to approval.

" Or, at best, turns it into nothing more than an Adaptive Cruise Control system"

This is literally what Teslas autopilot system is.

It is adaptive cruise control and lane assist.

They do not claim to be self driving. It is not a level 3 system. It is level 2.

The purpose of autopilot is to have both the features of lane assist and adaptive cruise control.

What's the big deal? Why is this so surprising to you? This is what it is. Go buy a car from Google if you want a self driving level 3 car.

If you don't want a level 2 system then don't buy it.
The TL;DR [direct quote from Docker blog](https://blog.docker.com/2017/11/swarm-orchestration-in-docke...) after the Kubernetes announcement:

> But it’s equally important for us to note that Swarm orchestration is not going away. Swarm forms an integral cluster management component of the Docker EE platform; in addition, Swarm will operate side-by-side with Kubernetes in a Docker EE cluster, allowing customers to select, based on their needs, the most suitable orchestration tool at application deployment time.

Yes and no. SpaceX's main revenue generator at the moment is sending satellites (government and non-government) into space. They will likely always get revenue with this, but it's not their end goal for profitability.
You should do all of the above. Make the links into a manual redirect/landing page that offers links to the IP, the onion addresses, a public tor gateway, a page describing how to find sci-hub, [perhaps] also make your "own" torrents, dumb links to search engines (possibly with .pdf behind the search query) AND to make it really nice also link to the services that sell the document.
I don't think Trump thinks attacking back is petty. He pretty reliably attacks anyone who attacks him.

That was exactly my point; that SpaceX directly transferring cash from one company to another is indeed unlikely, but that the higher valuation of SpaceX is a bigger help for Musk's finances in general.

(EDIT: I was agreeing with you on the details, but also pointing out that there are effects here beyond the money directly raise that could help Tesla.)

On the subject of fit, I'd care to indicate 'fit' is a door that swings more than one way. It's how the clothes fit on the person as well as how well they fit into the situation. Clothing becomes an important measure of awareness on a corporate or societal scale but the task of this thread is to examine personal motivations and inspirations so to speak.

There have been experiments showing that attaching magnets to birds' beaks inferfere's with their ability to sense magnetic north. So yes, they can "perceive" any magnetic field, but since their main use for magnetic fields is finding north, any other field is likely going to confuse and disorient them (similar to how artificial lights confuse moths that mistake them for moonlight), making them more likely to crash into objects, not less.
I have, and would like to move there if I can manage it. Valid criticism to be sure, but I think it's a bit misguided to levy a statement like "Vancouver transit sucks". Because it doesn't. At the very least it's pretty good. No it's not Zurich or Schenzen, but it's also not Winnipeg, Manitoba.

How to Convert MOV to MP4
It's very incidental, though, and most of it could be purged with mild effort.
We used ProseMirror in the past few months to build a rich text collaborative editor. We were able to get started and get a collaborative editor up and running in ~1 hour. This was a big deal for us, we'd tried to implement a good collab editing experience multiple times and each time we felt like the editor was the sticking point in creating a good experience. ProseMirror treats collab editing as a first class use case and makes it really easy.

We then spent 2-3 weeks getting all of the formatting, tooltips and key mappings to handle some basic formatting (bold, italics, underline, bullet lists, numbers). Eventually, once there are more examples on the web of more complex formatting for the community I think it will become much easier to use.

It's the first editor I've used that felt like it made sense at a conceptual level but implementing "simple features" can feel very hard at times. I don't think that's a knock on the library though. There's a lot to learn and understand and it just took us a lot of time to get it all.
Measuring Duolingo’s quality by kana learning is not a good idea. Kana are so simple you can learn them in a week using any method ever. What Duolingo fails at is the important part of learning Japanese (aside from kanji) - grammar and sentence structuring.

You’re much better off reading an actual textbook.

I personally don’t hate on Duolingo because it’s free but it tends to waste people’s times and gives them false impressions about language learning.
> Companies that no longer have formal status as a party to an NTSB investigation can lose access to information uncovered in the probe and the ability to shape the official record of the incident ...

It's absurd that the normal process does give companies the ability to shape the official record of the incident. They should never be a party to the NTSB investigation to begin with, because they cannot be neutral with respect to their own acts and omissions. Their role should always have been what it is now: technical assistance.
Hell of a false dichotomy you constructed there.

If you don't have a corporate/bulk account, they are still about half the price of competitors for overnight envelopes (as of some months ago, per my experience).

They have a program now where, if you have a P.O. Box, you can receive non-USPS packages at it (once you sign up, and using the address they provide you in the format they indicate). They don't have email notifications for these, yet -- they do for some other classes of mail. And sometimes at my post office, it can take a (partial) day for them to go from receiving the package to having the lockbox key or notification in your P.O. Box. However, when I looked at my local UPS Store for their comparable service, it's now gone from about double the USPS price a few years ago, to about quadrupal their price.

I also like supporting the USPS, where employees still have living wages and careers. Well, at least UPS is, last I knew, not all contractors like FedEx is. But I think their stores are franchises that handle their own employment.

(And the "USPS is going broke" rhetoric is driven by political manipulations designed to attack it, forcing it to book future expenses its competitors and other businesses don't, rather that current P/L and "normal" accounting. Not that they shouldn't look for new opportunities -- such as but not only this package handling -- when they are not hindered in same by same or similar external control; perhaps explaining the continued lack of email notification for non-USPS packages, for which there is a ready and minimally demanding physical solution already in place for triggering same for other types of mail that I noticed and confirmed with my local post office employee.)

Anyway, I don't have to worry about Amazon et al. packages sitting out on my front stoop, tempting thieves and the rain. Without breaking the bank. Also gives me a street address for some sidelines.

Yeah, my team hasn't found many cases where signals are preferable to overridding save(). The implementation of @hook is really just a wrapper around that approach - with the aim of a friendly, declarative interface.
I thought Android let you deny permissions now?
I understand viscerally this comment about something becoming a source of stress. Actually a couple of apps have done this to me in the past, and I immediately reject them (by uninstalling them) when I recognize that the app is using the anxiety and stress to twist the screws and get me to pay for something. Fuck that. I'm curious here, though. Except for not having an exceptionally long streak number associated with your username that you have earned, what penalties exist for not maintaining your streak? Does Duolingo like cut you off from completing lessons or otherwise impose restrictions on using the app if you don't maintain a streak?

Also, I've been putting a lot of time in the Russian module and I'm really disappointed that there's no way to learn the grammar rules in Duolingo. Russian especially has surprising behavior depending on the characters used.
> One of my favorite elements of The Laundry Files series, is the old spook who only uses a Memex machine because of van Eck phreaking.

Nice find! So it looks like they have almost half a billion in "Electronic services" revenue, which I assume is their electronic publishing business.

Given it is a professional association, can its members pressure it to get out of the publishing business?

Its expenses are huge too, which seems odd; where is 384 million dollars going?
OK, so why do you believe Trump is picking this particular fight with Amazon?
What about scanning for moderate amounts of items that could be automatically detected by machines, like cash, or assessing groups of packages in bulk for drugs or explosives with canines?
Quite right. The movement toward a reconciliation between various levels of abstraction and observation is one (perhaps the greatest one) of the ways we know we scientists are "getting it right".

Peter Watson's book "Convergence" is a delicious description of this broad phenomenon in scientific investigation(s).
Musk borrows against his Tesla shares to fund his investments into SpaceX and SpaceX owns Tesla bonds. The two are pretty significantly linked financially. If Tesla has issues with paying back bonds, it would probably impact SpaceX.

Additionally - I don't know where price-wise Musk gets margin called on his Tesla stock, but I do think him borrowing against it is a significant risk for Tesla. In my personal opinion, Tesla's biggest asset is Musk's fan base - I think it would really significantly impact Tesla if Musk got margin called and couldn't (or doesn't) cover and lost his status as the largest shareholder of Tesla. I think he would lose more interest in the company and you risk his fans no longer seeing Tesla as "his" company.

I don't think I'm alone in this opinion either, Musk has borrowed enough against his shares to warrant getting margin called mention as a risk in the 10-K. (Not to say its wrong for him to borrow against them, I'm sure I would do the same - I just think doing it to fund a private company he is heavily involved in (and distracts him from his public company) links them financially in a way I would personally not be comfortable with if I were an investor in Tesla).
What's wrong with google? Are they that afraid of their internal perception?

Business is, so long as legal, business. This is not any worse than the personal info they collect on all google product users, but somehow this is more outrageous?

Can you imagine the people working at big co in S Korea, Japan, China, India, Russia, South Africa, etc., taking this kind of personal affront stand? No, don't provide services to your own government, they bad.
This seems to be in a similar business/model with opendoor.
I think m52go's comment above is in the right direction. If Trump just announced a review of the postal service, or went on about what poor shape it was in, it wouldn't get much traction in the press and therefore in the publics' minds. So Amazon is a useful scapegoat to drum up publicity about the state of the postal service.

If meaningful beneficial changes come out of this review then they will be reported in the media in the context of his spat with Amazon, regardless of the impact on Amazon itself. Otherwise it's unlikely that those changes will be deemed newsworthy (because they aren't salacious and they don't directly affect people's lives), or if they are reported that they will be easily absorbed.

Linking any changes to the fight with Amazon provides a mental anchor with previous coverage given that any changes may take months to be put into place.
I did the Michel Thomas Spanish course and I found it to be excellent. It can be a lot harder to stay engaged than a gamified app, but you come away knowing a lot more than you would expect.
You're not incorrect, and I think it's always important to look higher and strive for that. However, it's also such an unhealthy and distasteful attitude to embrace. Now, I actually do say the same about the transit in the city I'm currently living in (Winnipeg, MB), but you have to consider the test case for what makes transit "suck". Let's use basic reliability as a measure for this. Can I expect a bus to be on time and get me to work? In Vancouver yes, in Winnipeg no. Can I expect constant time travel to the downtown core from a suburb? In Vancouver yes, in Winnipeg the bus might not show up. Is there better? Yes. In Zurich for example everything was impossibly on time every time, but the country's reputation is literally watches and money.

Population density does play a huge part, which forces inadequate access to skytrains and so on, but you can still catch a bus, then use the same fare to get on the seabus, then the skytrain, then more buses, and maybe bring your bike so you can get that last mile in.

A lot of electric busses in San Francisco also use pantographs, though usually without a substantial battery, meaning they can't disconnect and reconnect like these cars could.
One particular of my book sales was to a military address [one of many but this one stood out]. I go to USPS to ship and the clerk asks me if I'd like to do an "air drop". Uhm, what? "Oh it costs about the same but it's dropped from a helicopter and takes less time" was very roughly what was explained to me. "Please, let's do that" and we did. My first and last and the option was quite cool.
If I had to speculate because Amazon is hurting and putting lots of small American businesses out of business. Many workers and owners are part of his base.
Trump attacks the Washington Post and complains about Amazon pretty much in the same breath. It is easy to draw one’s own conclusion that he is attempting to ‘punch back’, as his wife described his tendency.
