> How do you measure social cohesion?

It's the inverse of diversity. Economic inequality, religious, philosophical & cultural diversity — make a measure which combines all of those things, then invert it. It'd at least make a start.

In most countries, journalists can use portions of copyrighted materials under fair use. For example, a science reporter could use quotes from a published study to summarize their findings. That's not the same as a bot scraping a journalist's copyrighted work in it's entirety.
Are we ever really content? Even if we were to increase our own happiness, we would still live in a world where, outside our walls, the suffering persists. Could we really, perfectly be happy, knowing?

If the answer is no, then to be happy, we must pass through hell with the rest of them.

I don't think you know what the "[state] monopoly on violence" means. It does not mean all people authorized to use force are directly on the government payroll.

Except in info-sec there's different degrees of information disclosure. You seem to be focused on mitigating disclosure to government, Google, or a rogue employee of either one but the scope is significantly larger and more diverse than that.

The biggest benefit of this is removing the email from archives, so weeks, months, or years later if the account gets compromised the gains are lower. For example an email with the subject "HIV Test Results" has a far different value with and without a body included.

A more down-to-earth example is I just sent my wife a W-2 via email for our taxes. I asked her to delete the email after downloading the document. But instead I could have just set an expiration on the contents and poof it is gone.
When dealing with burnout, you should identify what specific stressers exist for you in relation to programming, and then work to cut those stressers out from the process. I’m afraid that from person to person, programming burnout can come from different sources, so we’ll need more information first. For instance, is it specific aspects of the job / management? Is it the codebase itself, or a specific project you’re working on?
Users should have a voice too.
Except that it is not that simple either, because prices don't live in a vacuum. Demand is also affected by people's ability to spend. People with insecure lifestyles are less likely to spend. People whose entire lives are spent working just to make a livable wage aren't likely to spend much beyond bare necessities.
I have never worked for a company that requires less than 8 characters for a password. Most have required 10 characters (or more), with at least one numeral, one special character, one uppercase letter, and one lowercase letter.
Its more like:

1. hope and dream of success

2. set up scrapers to get the filler content- text and video/audio

3. read text using text to speech, produce audio file

4. use a library like https://pypi.python.org/pypi/moviepy to combine them

5. auto upload to youtube

6. get depressed when you realise nobody wants to listen to a computer speak.

7. go back to day job

Just to be clear chastity and asexuality are not the same thing.

A chaste person experiences sexual attraction but chooses not to act on it.

An asexual person doesn't experience (or experiences very little) sexual attraction in the first place.

While I see your point, here are some counter-examples:

- Someone who was the victim of a high-profile crime, not wishing everyone they come into contact with to know about it

- Someone being stalked/targeted, living on a secret address

- Someone who was wrongfully convicted, later exonorated. Here a mandate to publish corrections would be good enough, but I don't think Google would be happy with that, either...

The Dot-Coms Were Better Than Facebook
Some of the factors that come into this include the very nature of criminal sentencing: A judge looks at the facts of the case, aggravating factors, previous convictions and sentencing guidelines, and determines an appropriate sentence.

Then along comes a search engine and doubly punishes someone in what may be a disproportional way; e.g. it's highly unlikely you will come across the convictions of John Smith when you google him, but when you look up someone with a non-common name, it may be the very first search result; disproportionally disadvantaging them for jobs, business and even dating partners.

The issue in this case was Google wanted to be the sole arbiter of what they would remove and what they would leave in, with no oversight from anyone. This would have crippled the GDPR even before it began.

That said, it's early days for the right to be forgotten.
Comparing like with like can give you a better idea of what's going on even if the prices aren't the same. It's a matter of isolating the architecture from the other factors. If a 40 core 2P Intel system is faster than a 32 core 1P AMD system, you don't know if the difference is architectural or just the extra cores and sockets, so you don't know whether to expect a 48 core 2P AMD system to be faster or slower than the Intel system.

And the tested systems aren't equivalently priced here either.

This in amny ways is analogous to the gun debate in the United States. Everytime there is a major shooting, there are calls for certain types of guns to be banned. Every time there is a terrorist attack coordinated by an encrypted chat app, there will be calls to wither ban it or have a backdoor.

Mostly irrelevant factoid - Lincoln, NE is reasonably close to Iceland in population, murder rate, gun ownership.
We're rapidly moving to a point where an official (government) criminal record is not important to folks you want to interact with -- landlords, employers etc. They will instead turn to Google. As such, Google might as well be the official record for many people.

And if one put themsleves in the shoes of a victim, or even a criminal who has served their time, Google's pagerank is doing them a disservice.

I don't know if expunging records is the right thing to do, but it's worth discussing. There's no guarantee that searching a criminal's name will bring up the recent history where they've done their time, shown contrition, and is contributing to society. Instead it'll be the most highly cited -- likely news about their crime.

As a society, we approve of jail being the mechanism to "forgive" a person's crime. As such, isn't it horrible that Google's pagerank will only turn up what they've done wrong in the past? Again, I don't know if expunging the records is the right thing to do (in fact I believe it's wrong), but I do think it's worth debating.
Because there are clear counterpoints to that. Take the Phillipines, or Mexico. Those countries have high gun ownership, violence, and are pretty homogenous too.

If you want a country with white people, take Russia (though I’m not sure how homogenous it is, it’s definitely not US levels of integration).

Simply because some homogenous societies have low murder rates doesn’t mean all do, and does not mean the reason is homogeneity.

Often white racists in the US make the argument that if there was more homogeneity then there wouldbe less violence. However this shirks the responsibility of the white people for the fact that historically they were the instigators of all racial hate. Black people in America have high crime rates due to systematic and concerted efforts to oppress them over 2 centuries. Blaming that oppression as just some natural unavoidable thing that happens when there is racial integration is what one is trying to do when they argue homogenity is the reason, rather than the belief of racial superiority or hate.

If you go to Countries like China, while they can say insensitive things about black people due to the lack of experience interacting with them, they definitely do not harbor any of the American style racial beliefs towards them.

Blaming lack of homogeneity as the cause for racial issues is shirking responsibility for causing them.

My iphone has picked up gps signals on short flights on several offasions, I have an almost flawless track on a flight from LGA to DCA, and on over the Mediterranean from Frankfurt to Lagos.

The LGA to DCA one had a max speed of 461mph (average 322) and altitude of 23,400 foot, with maximum negative gradient of 67.7%.

Maximum speed I've recorded overall (I've had the app open for 24,190 miles) is 673.3mph, and max altitude of 35,081 ft
This is very important, but it's more of a protection than a cure.

Once you have burnout, the only fix is to avoid whatever it is that's burning you out. Hopefully it won't require a total career change / hiatus, although for some people it does get to that point.
You can characterize the noise using things like temperature and material properties. But you cannot simulate the system, you cannot reproduce it, the noise itself is the result of subatomic particles interacting.

Two resistors made of the exactly same material, the same cristaline structure down to every atom and heated in the same way up from 0K will generate different noise.
It took me a while to realise that what everyone is talking about (peppa pig / r/elsagate) and these are not AI produced videos but script kiddie stuff. The peppa pig stuff i have seen looks more like someone with one tool has been trying to make something "funny" but i suppose the point being made here is that if you can make a video for effectively free, and youtube pays you 10 bucks, you can scale that forever.

surely the solution here is in how youtube pays people? Does it not have to have a bank account? Isn't it a bit weird to find thousands of channels with robo videos on it with the one bank account?

i may of course be simplifying fraud detection
Interesting that this appears on the front page at the same time as this story:

I don't have a particular point of view either way other than to say that context matters, and pragmatism matters, and the solution to these potential problems can't be "remove all surveillance" any more than it can be "surveil everything."

How Much Does It Cost to Build an App Like Snapchat?
Opinions on programming languages are like arseholes in that everyone has one. So I'm far less interested in hearing people intellectualise over what they perceive to be good or bad qualities of a particular language (otherwise known as arguing personal opinion as irrefutable fact) and far more interested in seeing what what cool projects people can make. After all, many of us managed to write some pretty awesome stuff in BASIC back in the 70s and 80s so there's really no excuse these days given the tooling and hardware we now have available.
I can't think of any kind of ethics that would see these as a positive thing. What's possible and makes money for you isn't necessarily good.

> If you're not of the opinion that prostitution is immoral and must be outlawed, then the only problematic bullet point is the one about child sex trafficking.

I support legalizing prostitution, but that "only problematic bullet point" (where they knowingly covered up child sex trafficking) is reason enough to take down the site and prosecute the owners. It's ridiculous to say the focus on that is "an effort to scandalize you" — that alone is both legally and morally wrong, regardless of the rest of the charges, and they should be punished for it.
I would say that in the US we mostly consider right to free speech more important than the right to be forgotten.

Ask HN: What does your grandparents remember from WWII?
Two years ago I've been to Germany.
I was just before leaving the army after an extended service (5 years) and joining an IT startup in Tel Aviv, So I thought I should travel just a bit before doing that, with a friend.

The most memorable day of the trip was our last one. We've rented a bicycle to ride to Teuflesberg, and on the way back we took the train (with the bike). Little did we know - one must pay an extra fee to get bikes unto the train, so we were fined.
The whole encounter consumed too much precious time, and we were about to be late to return the bike.
A hasty apologetic call to the bike owner, and 30 minutes of intense bike riding forward - and we were there.

While we were about to leave the store, the daughter of the owner (~50 years, or so) asked us where we were from. After we've told her we were Israelis, she offered us a ride to our motel.

During the ride, we've got to talk about everything - politics, history, and whatnot. And somewhere around the Jewish graveyard, she has told us about her father.

She told us about her father, as she remembered him - a kind, gentle, and loving man.
And that he also served in the Wehrmacht.
That reading about the war, and remembering the man her father was to her was almost oxymoronic. And that he had never talked about the war.
The two of us read and hear testimonies by the survivors, and talked with them. But that was our first time hearing something close to a testimony of someone from "the other side".

That story resonated with me.
The Israeli holocaust memorial day was held yesterday, and that story came back to me. If anyone of you, German readers, would be able to share his grandparents' story from the war, It'd mean a lot to me.
(If you're not German, but would still like to share your grandparents' story - I'd also like to hear that!)

For any indie developers, Ember can be extremely productive. In the past year, I have pushed out 3 moderately complex Ember apps in addition to having a full time job. I've reused some code for each application, have been able to depend on backwards compatibility for addons and always have received lots of help from other community members here: embercommunity.slack.com

This is mainly due to my ability to focus on shipping features rather than build processes. Also, depending on Ember Data, ember-cli-mirage, and the JSONAPI spec have allowed me quickly spec out how my schema will look, allowing me to move from the frontend to backend quite seamlessly. I've used React as well to develop widgets and such, but nothing has matched my ability to build, test, and ship features more than Ember.

We are all in this together and should focus on lifting all of us up. Positivity begets positivity.
Nobody is actually doing that. You are confusing evidence against someone versus "I better make a copy of this for myself before it stops working".
Their removal of those videos is the exception, not the rule. There are many, many, many gun videos and channels going strong, just like demolition ranch.

Also, isn't everyone feeling demonetized?

edit: I just did a simple experiment on youtube. I did two searches, one for "guns are good" and one for "guns are bad".

"Guns are good" returned returns 11,400,000 videos. "Guns are bad" returns 11,500,000. Most of the top results for "Guns are bad" are reviews of guns or satire against liberal views of gun regulation.

I do think youtube isn't unbiased, but against the 2A and conservative ideas? nah.
Notably, the headline here oversells the actual content.

Goldman is rightly pointing out that gene therapy cures require heavy research but don't provide long term revenue streams.

It doesn't claim that they shouldn't be pursued, or that people should be kept sick. It doesn't even say gene therapy companies offering cures are bad investments! Rather, it points out that they offer high returns over limited durations, and will have to constantly hunt new treatments and target popular diseases. All of which, I note, describes Gilead perfectly.

I think you and Goldman are both right, while the headline writer is misunderstanding the actual memo.
