You're assuming that I'm even referring to Cambridge Analytica. I'm talking about the general sentiment towards Facebook in general as being an unethical company, of which the "leak" of data to Cambridge Analytica is a small part. There are other bad-faith things that Facebook has done, especially with regards to their users' privacy, that certainly have a negative impact on society.
Tesla has also basically thumbed its nose at the Massachusetts Right to Repair law. Technically they comply in that you can access their service manual online but it's $30 [per hour] or $3,000 per year or something like that.
Here's what Niklaus Wirth (Pascal, Modula-2, Oberon) said about using the equal sign for assignment:

> A notorious example for a bad idea was the choice of the equal sign to denote assignment. It goes back to Fortran in 1957 and has blindly been copied by armies of language designers. Why is it a bad idea? Because it overthrows a century old tradition to let “=” denote a comparison for equality, a predicate which is either true or false. But Fortran made it to mean assignment, the enforcing of equality. In this case, the operands are on unequal footing: The left operand (a variable) is to be made equal to the right operand (an expression). x = y does not mean the same thing as y = x. Algol corrected this mistake by the simple solution: Let assignment be denoted by “:=”.

> Perhaps this may appear as nitpicking to programmers who got used to the equal sign meaning assignment. But mixing up assignment and comparison is a truly bad idea, because it requires that another symbol be used for what traditionally was expressed by the equal sign. Comparison for equality became denoted by the two characters “==” (first in C). This is a consequence of the ugly kind, and it gave rise to similar bad ideas using “++”, “--“, “&&” etc.

What do you mean breakfast is not "necessary"? No single meal is necessary, obviously, but why skip it?

> skipping this meal saves me time in the morning. I already gotta worry about getting ready, feeding the dog+antibiotics, taking him out to pee, etc... one less thing to worry about.

I really can't understand how you can put "getting ready" and feeding your dog above your own nutrition. Maybe you don't enjoy food the same way that I do. How do you not have 10 minutes to eat something in the morning? It just boggles my mind

> Fasting for extended periods while in a ketogenic state accelerate fat loss

Why not just eat 3 meals per day but smaller portions? Isn't that more sustainable psychologically (and maybe physically)?
Sen. Durbin just talked Zuckerberg out of a qualification that certain children's data "in general" will not be shared with third parties. He pinned Zuck to a no, because "as a lawyer" he picked up on it. There's a perfectly valid reason for the "in general" qualification! If your child is using the app and police obtain a warrant for the data, Facebook will likely have to release it! I wonder how much Zuck's desire to be "straightforward" and answer questions unequivocally here is causing Facebook counsel to cringe.
It probably will come back to haunt him. I just feel all sorts of other issues are being blamed on Facebook. Humans can be horrible, there was a genocide in Rwanda. Facebook wasn't needed (not sure it was around back then). If we going to blame Facebook we might as well blame the Mobile phones for enabling us to have Facebook. I feel they should stick to the privacy issues which are true issues.
The use of = for assignment goes back to Heinz Rutishauser's Suplerplan from 1951, and it was adopted by Fortran.
Granted I don't pay much attention to the y-combinator side of all this, but I didn't know who this dude was when I read the article. I immediately disliked a lot of the advice because of how out-of-touch it is (don't do something you don't like, buy a $4000 mattress, etc.) and came to the comments expecting some level of critique of that. Nope, everyone is fawning over this guy:

"What do you think he'll think when he starts meditating" "How do you feel about him using canabis?"

Hey Aras you guys are doing a good job.

So I guess CoreCLR will cause more work for Unity engine teams in the interim.

IL2CPP is great right now and gets past all AOT issues as the initial pain is over. Ralph Hauwert and those guys did a good job. It also gets compilation AOT down to C++ so it cannot be messed with by Apple. But I guess CoreCLR will be another standard/lib to manage and suddenly the standard xkcd on standards becomes relevant [1].

I can still dream of Unity Plan B from 2010 though with a fully C++ API that mimics the C# one.

I don't think this would be sufficient in many cases. If you store any form of user-generated content, or even a recommendation model generated from a user's past behavior, I'm pretty sure that's also considered personally identifiable information under GDPR, and since it's part of your product, you can't just outsource handling of it. It gets even stickier if that data is intertwined with data from other users, as could be the case in machine learning models or used-generated collaborative projects.

The ones I love are those with questions like "What was the first city you visited" and they give you a multiple choice of like ten cities, none of which you may ever actually have visited.
That's pretty awesome. Though I'm sure we could quibble over the relative effects of each upon the course of human history, or the fact that Benjamin Franklin started with almost no means whereas Charles Darwin was born into a wealthy family-- I agree that the takeaway is that we may all have meaningful impacts on society without having to make sacrifices in the name of productivity. But, that being said, I'd personally say those sacrifices are not in vain as I think Benjamin Franklin's contributions to the course of American History outweigh Darwin's contributions to science.
I vehemently disagree with the rhetoric of the tech companies that holding them legally responsible for willful participation in criminal activity will "kill user-generated content".
I used to answer secret questions with bogus answers that I deemed unguessable. Then I discovered that when my bank asks me the questions back it does multiple choice, displaying the answer I gave along with 4 other possible options! Sometimes my answer would not be shown and the correct answer is "none of the above", but otherwise my answer sticks out like a sore thumb.

I'm pretty sure those turn in ambient moisture. I don't think I've ever seen one not "wet".
Neurologically, it might actually be justified—there's a recent hypothesis that we're wired to "decrease uncertainty" more than any other terminal preference, i.e. that "being productive" (in the sense of doing things to ensure that a situation will resolve a particular way) is an end unto itself, that we pursue regardless of whether it makes us happy. (I like this hypothesis because it neatly explains why the experiences of happiness, of contentment, and of motivation, are all effectively orthogonal, and many people can have one of the three while never having the other two. It also explains why people tend to feel relief when a negative event they've been attempting to prevent finally happens anyway.)

As well, there is a reason that Buddhism's viewpoints on dukkha and nirvana needed to be invented/discovered and taught (and that people struggle to learn them.) The idea that there is a happiness that exists as a state of *being8, that does not involve "doing", is not, seemingly, an instinctual belief among human beings—or even one that's very easy to convince people of.

There's a flag that can be set (I don't remember if it's in the cert itself or during the import process) that makes the key un-exportable.

The idea is each cert identifies a device. There's no reason to not just issue one cert per device, especially if you make the enrollment process fairly painless. If a user loses their phone, it's very nice to not have to revoke their one global cert -- just revoke the one that was used on the phone and be on your way.
TBH, we took inspiration from a ton of different places, including a lot from Clojure, Python, Elm and Rust, as well as Rails and Django.

Dark is probably closest to an ML (like OCaml/ReasonML or Elm), with some interesting twists that we think will greatly increase productivity and decrease complexity, most notably tight integration with its editor and platform.

Christianity certainly isn't the "only moral system" that frowns on prostitution, but I'd argue it's likely the primary one responsible for rendering it illegal in the US.
It is well worth reserving some things from being subsumed directly by the economic system. I don't understand the distinction ihsw2 is trying to make with the repeated argument about removal of consent, but I would agree if they simply were arguing that human sex shouldn't be commodified.

Yes and I agree, but I think even that is a cultural/moral judgement (libertarians would disagree I think), and what contracts should fall into the "exploitative" category is definitely cultural.

Honest question: if people wanted to participate in fights to the death where the winner gets an absurd amount of money, should that be legal? If not, then whats that defining difference? If so, what long term effect do you think this will have?

Again, I'm asking because I dont know. To me, I think the above example would cause a lot of public harm in that people would be pressured into giving up their lives to potentially save their families from poverty. But at the same time, that reasoning could be applied to prostitution. But then again, with prostitution, you can always stop.

In many cases yes.
> Otherwise, many of the comments are about "helping" the servers, who, I assure you, do not want this "help."

I would imagine you are right, in that the servers don't imagine they would earn as much without tips. But what if the choice was between earning as much as they do now (after tax), but predictably every month and without having to suck up to anyone?

Maybe some servers think trying to get extra tips are part of the fun of the job, but I don't see that this is a widespread opinion.
I would argue React will be around a while for two reasons:

- The core language has gotten a lot better with ES5+ features. Async, fetch promises, etc., are all now built-ins on modern browsers, and have learned lessons from the pain points the initial implementations in libraries like jQuery.

- React itself is only a view layer with minimal concern about the form of your data -- you can use an array of other libraries on top of it to help with shared states, network requests, etc.

Will someone come along and do a view layer better than React? Probably. Will it be as big of a leap as what we've seen over the past few years with ES5/6/7 & React? I don't think so.
>Sure, but then you're diminishing the value of what you did. If someone asks you want you did at Facebook, it would be odd if you said "I'd rather not say", as would it if you had five years of blank in your resume.

I guess if you only worked on creepy and unsavory things, you'd be in a tough spot. Assuming you can't weasel-word your way out of the creepiness and make it more palatable.

If someone ultimately thinks that, you're back to "move on to the next company". And the consequences are paid then and there. But again, you can lean on the market's health to make those consequences really small.
While I disagree with your assertions, if you are the type of person who prefers to live the rest of your life with, say, Crohn's, and be able to still push hard and perform well at the gym, by all means do that. If you're willing to set a side of period of a couple months to heal your body, research more.

It's actually interesting how many people I meet at the gym that from the outside appear very fit and healthy, only to find out they're actually pretty ill, from IBS and other gut issues, thyroid problems, etc. The gym is actually masking many diseases for people because physically they appear healthy.

Apple has a program for third-party stores that use genuine parts, the Apple Authorized Service Provider program. If the repair shop you go to isn't an AASP, then you can't say they have genuine parts.

I would like to thank both you, and the parent for adding valuable points of views in a complicated debate in a concise and civil manner. I had had an "I agree" and "On the other hand" moment. For me this illustrated the complexity of the topic. There is no easy answer, and all who say it is simple, are probably wrong.
> They may choose not to do anything with the cookies that remain, but the technical answer to the question is yes.

I think you could say the same thing about IP addresses. A website might log the IP addresses of people who visit them, or they might not, but quite a lot of tracking is feasible. The problem with focusing on feasibility there, is that you end up with an answer like "yes, just like every other website in the world, Facebook can track you when you're logged out." Assuming Zuckerberg has been coached to High Heaven not to gives answers like that, it seems fair to respond to the question as though it was asking about the internal details of what Facebook does with cookies / IP addresses / browser fingerprints.
Probably varies by jurisdiction, but I know in my jurisdiction, court fees and related costs (such as the cost of serving the summons on the defendant) are automatically added to the judgment if you win.
The web sucks–you just don't know it (2004)
Smart people can be really dumb.
The content of two videos don't need to disagree with each other for the general effect to be called polarization.

The polarization isn't about income models, it's about the different kinds of content (light hearted safe content that aligns with advertisers vs extreme content that doesn't). I may have confused things by mentioning gain. The different goals of the creators was just my basic explanation as to why similar content continues being created because the effect is already in place.

I find it disturbing that you disregard the effect of capital. Advertisers are 100% focused on monetary optimization, and they're very good at driving creators to what will work best for them.

Of course content and context is important. But, money drives the content creation. Even when it isn't used to pay for the original content. Advertisers want impressions and clicks. Content creators want more viewers. The type of content aligns with advertisers goals -> money becomes involved -> more similar content. And other creators see this and want part of it.
Fun fact, it'd actually be illegal for Apple to disable devices if it detects a replacement part.

There are anti-trust laws against 'tying agreements', and forcing consumers to only buy components from Apple (due to tie-in) would be violating those laws.

That said, those laws don't say anything about having to interoperate with an inferior part.

So assuming Apple isn't willfully violating anti-trust laws, we can be fairly sure the change was intended to improve some aspect of the touch controller.

Note: There are exceptions if the tying serves a purpose other than maintaining a monopoly (such as the security pairing between the TouchID sensor and FaceID camera).
Actual question: am I missing something? I get that facebook is big and powerful, and way too many people use it for their own good, but I'm sitting here talking to a bunch of people on another platform right now. A large chunk of which (probably) don't use facebook after recent events. Maybe it's just because I haven't had facebook in well over 5 years, but I don't see them as a monopoly on anything at all.

Everyone has thousands of choices on how to share their data if they don't want to use facebook/instagram/whatsapp. Does the mere fact that they don't use those other choices make the 1 choice a monopoly?
Economic and societal forces are making these women let men use their bodies. In form it looks different than traditional rape, but in function it is no different. Women are being forced to let complete strangers abuse their bodies in the most intimate ways possible.

Yes! this is the first step of many. We are definitely not ready for a beta yet, even a closed one.
> I guess the important point here is you're not supposed to quit your day job with the expectation that Dark will pay you a livable wage to build your pet project.

I absolutely agree, I think phrasing it as a stipend/some other offer than what sounds like a salary would help a huge deal.
>If not, then whats that defining difference?

In a typical/expected sex worker transaction, the worker performs a sexual act and then goes about their day without any lasting issues (other than perhaps minor symptoms like soreness). In a typical/expected gladiator duel, the person doesn't go about their day because they die. I'm not sure how you can compare those at all.

When done safely and with precautions, sex work isn't very dangerous. See: Australian sex workers, after it was legalized there.

And I dispute the "pretty much everybody used" part. In fact, I think the article contradicts that opinion. Algol used it, and so did Pascal. But Pascal was only a year old [Edit: at the time the choice was made for C] - it [Pascal] hadn't set the world on fire yet (to the degree that ever did). That leaves Algol using ":=", and FORTRAN, COBOL, and Lisp not using it. That's not "pretty much everybody used".
I mean, if you limit your view to what the government is trying to suppress to those narrow categories then I guess you're right. But one area that government enforcement of morality has resoundingly worked is child porn. It's very hard for a normal person to find it and I for one am glad the government is working hard to curb access to it.
Originally though IQ was calculated by dividing by age, now it's calculated by comparing with those in the same age group. So any random child outscoring a famous scientist doesn't seem to be that significant.
Yes self censorship is part of the system.

It's a process that maintains the existing polarization.
The point about "not selling data to advertisers" and how Facebook is so totally different was so cringy.

I know that was probably the intent, but the senator sounded genuinely confused. It didn't sound like a deposition-style question.
Transfer Talk: Superstar Depart Man United
"Blamm0!One ring to rule them all" would be better, in that it adds a personal salt. If your personal salt satisfies length and character class requirements by itself, so much the better.

Or maybe "One And ring in to the rule darkness them bind all, them." in that it applies a personal transformation rule.

Or do both.

It's not as secure as other methods of password generation, but makes yours more resistant to (unabridged) dictionary attacks. If an attacker learns your personal salt, they could create a special dictionary attack just for your passwords, but this is another case of not outrunning the tiger when you can outrun your friend. Far easier to run the vanilla dictionary attack against everyone else who doesn't salt/transform.
I'm sure I've mentioned it here before, but in my favorite Erlang talk I design the language with the equal sign as my core construct.

Since the equal sign is an assertion of truth, and since assertions cause a crash on failure, you can pretty much derive the rest of the language/BEAM characteristics from that.
IL2CPP is going to stay for sure, but imo, it should be reserved to platforms where we don't have a more efficient way of having GC aware codegen (because it has not been ported yet, typically for a new platform).

CoreRT could perfectly work at some point on iOS, and more efficiently than IL2CPP. But this will require lots of work, so indeed, this is not going to happen anytime soon, maybe never, but we should be aware of all the options and why they each matter.
Sex work is work. Just like a job in a mine or on an oil rig it might be an unhealthy, dangerous job with serious health repercussions. But it's a job nonetheless.

Would I prefer a world where men didn't have to waste their health in mines and women theirs in prostitution? Sure, I'm all for a UBI. But it is hypocrisy to treat these professions and the health implications they have as any different.

Of course, that's an easy one to answer. Tesla owns each car.
