> One thing I learned from my experience testifying in Congress is that I didn't have clear enough answers to some of the questions about data

You bet you didn't, Zuckerberg. And those questions weren't even challenging. Imagine if they had grilled you about tracking pixels and cookies and the Facebook login JavaScript snippets that you encourage everyone to put on their website.
The sad things imho is that no one asked:

- Is he/she fine?

- Did something happen?

- Can we help?
Its not a shitty job for some of the right people. I can easily think few possible advantage of this job:

- flexible time

- potential to earn lot of money

- sheer enjoyment of writing

- improve one writing skills
He is not afraid of it, any statement he gives along the lines of "Clear your cookies" would be politically damning. An overly dramatic headline could be - 'Zuck, head of evil tracking empire that sells your data, tells everyone that they should clear their cookies which implies tracking is bad'.

Political farce aside, he does have a point, cookies are fundamentally tokens of persistence. Persistent cookies let you configure the websites without creating accounts and stay logged in on the websites you do have accounts on. Loosing that is inconvenient which means it will make parts of the experience worse.
VHDL / Verilog is lower level!

In all seriousness, the "assembly is high level" argument is ridiculous and robs the "low level" vs "high level" categorization of all meaning.

Yes, but why? There's a reason for everything, so I guess this serves some purpose, somehow? I guess the ultimate reason is stupidity or bad planning or cut corners, but I'm still curious.

Bonus point if there's a situation where avoiding something like base64 is actually difficult, even in 2018.
I've seen base64 used to implement "security through obscurity" in web applications. Many times in situations where they could have just used a cryptographic hash and been done with it.
Atlantic Media | Senior Web Developer, National Journal | Washington, DC | Onsite | Full-Time

Hey all, my team is looking to add another senior developer into the mix. We work with journalists, data scientists, and political researchers to build membership-based tools that make sense of DC politics (political analysis, election tracking, events going on around DC, and other curated/custom-created resources).

Our team is relatively small (4 devs). We're all pretty full-stack with varying competencies, but we spend most of our days in Python/Django, building APIs and ingesting/delivering data. A nowhere-near-exhaustive list of other stuff we work in includes PostgreSQL, ElasticSearch, Neo4j, MongoDB, Gulp, jQuery, Jenkins, Selenium, Nginx, and Redis.

Main things I like about this team:
- Work-life balance is pretty great
- Full autonomy over our tech stack
- Interesting problems to solve
- Team members are a lot of fun

It is nice though that it has been designed for prescription lens inserts.

Do you see how that's a rationalization strategy? Maybe you honestly don't but discounting the value of the degree to zero makes your actions victimless. But, if the value is non-zero, damage has been done.

Great feature, but not major in the big picture.

This (or any other Facebook feature/change) wouldn’t be such a big deal if Facebook weren’t a monopoly which actively takes steps to remain one. Namely,

- being a closed platform with no easy way to migrate your data to another platform

- buying out the competition

As long as the above is true I consider Facebook as acting against its users’ interests, regardless of any specific feature.
My startup, www.thawd.net, is aiming to fix the exact same problem. Move to a new city and we aim to find you groups of people to hang out with. We also support couples finding other couples to spend time with, and arbitrarily sized groups of people who want to meet new people.

This argument has been made since the introduction of the JVM in the early mid-90's.

This is a big problem for me. I program data entry software. If a data entry job is soon going to be a thing of the past, why do we need so many developers for data entry. Saas, business Web, business apps, desktop, tablet all seems like an extra layer.
There was an IH podcast where the person being interviewed talked about getting the Facebook pixel up on your landing page as soon as possible.

The idea was that you would have access via Facebook to all the potentially interested people that dropped off because your landing page or product were not yet ready for launch.

From Facebook's perspective, this is data that is valuable to potential customers that want to buy ad space.
So what?

If I never intended for the GET to be GOT, then the browser is just as much at fault for such unintended consequences.

How do you judge how "good" Facebook is, in order to evaluate this? I'm having a hard time thinking people will notice either way.

There probably will be a difference, but I think in actual use, for most people, it will be very small.
Yes and the remaining one (and often the only one) is family.

For many people workplace and neighbourhood have no sense of community at all and if you are single as well effectively you have no one to fall back to.

Sure you can go to a coffee shop with your gym friend or coworker once in a while but when you seriously need someone like if you get sick or need a shoulder to cry on it's not going to work with people with whom you don't have a intimate high priority relationship like partner or family.
I really don't think that's a good excuse

> It is legally no different than standing on a street corner handing out flyers.

It's not legally different, but it's still different, which is something that I think people on both sides of this debate sometimes selectively forget. Before the web, those "street flyers" were pretty unlikely to go viral and be seen by millions of people. They were pretty unlikely to get, well, much farther than that street corner. And there certainly wasn't a widely-known and shared infrastructure dedicated to capturing copies of the flyer and preserving them indefinitely.

I don't know that there should be a "right to forget," but in the pre-digital era, things had limited circulation. They went out of print. You couldn't control what happened to copies after they were printed, no, but nobody could say, "You know what, I don't want this thing to go out of print, so I'm going to put it back into print whether the author likes it or not." To use your flyer example: I can't legally demand people who have my flyer burn it, but I can legally demand that people don't make copies of my flyer and hand it out on street corners of their choice for the next thirty years.

The closest thing the web has to the concept of "out of print" is, well, taking things offline. And a lot of things that go offline undoubtedly should be preserved. I use the Internet Archive all the time. But at the same time, I'm not convinced that the answer to someone saying, "Hey, this thing I put online 20 years ago and took down 10 years ago is something I'd really like to keep out of print" must always and forever be, "well, you should never put anything online that you'll ever reconsider at any point in your entire life, you fool."
I don't think puns so much but Sanskrit is the world champion of double entendres. Like one poem which can be read as a praise of ascetism or a description of an adulterous love affair. Or the one which if read forwards tells the story of the Ramayana and in reverse the Mahabharata.

Maybe they’re lying? I mean, they’re a cheating service, so bullshitting their customers seems par for course. What are they going to do, try and get their money back? Bring a suit in Ukraine?

Technology is one of the drivers of remakes. When movies first came along, a lot of them were remakes of written material (a book or play). Then when sound became available, a lot of silent films were remade as "talkies." Then came Technicolor, and you had an excuse to remake a B&W film in color. After a long period of incremental improvements in various areas, we got usable CGI, which gave you an excuse to remake an analog film (or "enhance" it, and that's in quotes because of George Lucas' fiddling about adding digital stuff to every shot seemingly for ADHD reasons). Speaking of Charlton Heston, Planet of the Apes went from guys wearing rubber ape masks in the 70s to a pretty successful modern-day POTA franchise that is almost completely CGI, with apes talking and using vivid facial expressions and such. Not sure it's "better" per se... it's almost a different art form, apples and oranges. Which is why I end up thinking a lot of remakes are justified, in that they're almost working in a different medium in some cases.
Would this work for emulating multiple screens for my PC? Has anyone tried it with existing hardware, can you for example program with it?
One should note that CM-1/2 (which is essentially an FPGA turned inside out which you can reconfigure for every program step) has radically different architecture than CM-5 (which is essentially the same as modern many-CPU distributed memory supercomputers).

Also of note is that * Lisp described by Hillis' paper (xectors and xappings with more or less hidfen mapping to hardware) is completely different from * Lisp that was actually sold by TMC, which handled embedding of the problem geometry into hardware, but otherwise was Paris assembler (ie. what you send through the phenomenally thick cable from frontend to CM to make stuff happen) bolted onto Common Lisp. IIRC the commercial *Lisp got somehow opensourced and you can run it (in emulation mode) on top of SBCL.
I don't know how this could be universally possible. If you don't consent to providing data that is key to enabling features of the experience, how could that experience be provided?
The downside would be that you'd be more likely to work at a place that either isn't sharp enough to detect cheaters or can't get it together to care.

Personally, if I suspect somebody is a liar or a cheater, I won't hire them. I build teams that are low on micromanagement and high on independence and trust. Somebody inclined toward fraud can be a big problem in a context like that, both because of the direct damage they do and because they lower ambient level of trust.

I recently had somebody apply for an internship claiming extensive iOS experience with a nice iOS project on GitHub. But the commit history was shallow, so I did some digging. Turns out it was a group project, and one of the other people did almost all the work.

That person was instantly dead to me. They surely got a job somewhere, but I feel sorry for their coworkers, who at best had to pick up a lot of slack, and at worst had to put up with a bunch of new rules and micromanagement because one employee couldn't be trusted.
They increased my speed only once in the last 10 years... but they try to increase the price yearly (I usually cancel my service if they don't agree to keep the price the same, and sign up again at a later time to get the new subscriber discount (could be the same day))
