> And apparently the judge disagrees with you.

Well a judge disagrees. I'm curious to see where this ends up on appeal as the track record of rulings against the POTUS by liberal judges isn't exactly something one would want to bet on.

> You could say the sky is green and the grass is blue. Doesn't really matter.

As could the judge and just because one judge ruled a particular way doesn't make it a settled matter.

> The white house has declared @realdonaldtrump as the official account and thus it is.

Feel free to cite a source on that and explain what makes it "official". A sibling comment has a linked to a whitehouse.gov web page that has a link to @realDonaldTrump though I'd argue that doesn't make mean anything.

I wanted to reply "can someone check this" but I was like, come on how lazy can I be so I checked.

do you mean techcrunch article's opinion or the judicial opinion?
We're rapidly heading into a world where every form of non-fictional media has to be mediated by a trusted third party because we have no way to distinguish what's true from what's fabricated with our own senses. This is a complete reversal of the verifying power that images, audio, and video once provided to everybody regardless of income or education. Think about some of the potent imagery that came out of wars like WWII and Vietnam, for example.

We're not too far away from the manufacture of literal "fake news" out of whole cloth. I'm not sure this bodes well for the idea of an informed electorate.
That's... exactly what the article says. That Facebook created a walled garden that Google couldn't get to.
Of course a self-loathing, self-hating, suicidally compulsive liberal degenerate would say such a thing. What is wrong with you people. People are dying and families and lives are being destroyed and whole communities crushed and decimated and all you psychopaths can say is that you are gleeful that America and the west is having chemical warfare waged against it for some fantastical, propaganda delusional narrative you have been misled to believe happened hundreds of years ago? You are sick.
Wow, that's good to hear that there's a compliance feed. That sounds like exactly what I was talking about in a different thread, where there needs to be a webhook, feed, or some other communication mechanism to disperse deletion requests to processors.
Not necessarily. For Go it is easy to simulate, hard to win. Many other things are easy to simulate at low level but have complex higher order behaviour (such as AutoML and ML graph compilation for GPU). A learning approach based on simulation is capable of finding super-human solutions, given enough compute.

> relieved of the guilt of being poor

That kind of sums it up right there. Most wealthy people in this country didn't become wealthy because they were able to save money while working for $15/hr.

You can't save your way out of poverty, the poor don't want your sympathy, they want dignity. They want a living wage, a pension, and healthcare. We can afford to give it to them, we're just too focused on making more billionaires.
Full disclosure: you absolutely have had a positive impact on my business. The double your rates thing was the only part that didn't work because I think I started at a pretty decent rate to begin with. I listened and studied your podcast episode with Patrick Mackenzie at least 5 times. I've read plenty of your posts and studied your HN comments extremely carefully. So very much, thank you for that!

Also, it means quite a lot for you to say that you think I am doing well. I still feel like I haven't nailed positioning yet (any ideas: https://anonconsulting.com), and I'm always looking for feedback. Nonetheless, I'm still extremely grateful for the work you put out.
> Before smartphones usually, you'd make up conversation, smalltalk, even if you didn't want to talk or had anything interesting to say. These days instead of doing that people just seem to ignore each other and do something that is interesting, using their phones.

That is precisely the root of the problem. That means that the interpersonal relationships with friends and family have been hijacked by for-profit organizations pushing "more interesting" content. This contributes to dividing society even more.
There was a Times article several years ago about the rise of synthetic cannabis and they said legislators can't keep up with new chemical formulations. They take several months to study and ban one chemical, and the manufacturers turn around and tweak it slightly and it's a "new" drug that hasn't been made illegal yet.
I'm not sure that more adaptation is going to make people more considerate in using devices practically designed to encourage this behavior.

In the jazz community Marsalis' opinions are generally regarded as elitist and regressive and often times he will go on TV, radio etc trying to speak as the voice of a tradition that heavily disagrees with him.

Many of his peers and people who have played in his bands have been active participants in the hip hop community for decades.

If you look at what jazz as a method of social activism and a way to speak about the state of life in black america in the past century, thats really what hip hop is doing now.

Hip hop talks about drug use/violence etc because its whats happening in the communities that the music comes out of.

Jazz at its most important points in history was often fraught with musicians who were heavily addicted to drugs, abused woman, caught up in violence etc (just look up the issues some of the greats dealt with like Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, etc)

Hip hop and jazz are fundamentally two extremely similar traditions of music born out of the same realities of the black american experience and for Wynton to being making comments like this is extremely disappointing

Coinbase acquires decentralized cryptocurrency trading platform Paradex
Hip hop and rap music is one of the worst things that happened to culture. It appeals to most lowly desires and it's hedonism in music form. Track 1 of a rap CD can address how minorities are supposedly discriminated against yet Track 2 is filled with criminal intent and mysogyny. I am still in my twenties but I do not allow either my siblings nor myself to listen to it or I at least frown upon it.

You may say not all rap is this way but the truth is that most popular rap is this way.

"Conservatism" is a moveable feast. He mentions homophobia directed towards his adoptive parents; one wonders what he'd say to conservatives who argue that homosexual partnerships and adoptions exemplify what's wrong with society, an attitude it's easy to find examples of.

The net force for the lead ball is m_l x a, but the net force on the wood ball is m_w x a where m_l>m_w, and the acceleration a depends on the shape of the object and can be thought of as the same.

So because you believe something happened in the past that did not happen in the way you have been propagandized to believe, people should die at far greater rates and families and communities should be decimated ... ironically, exponentially more so in black communities? What is wrong with you sick people? Glee for the suffering and misery of people because other people may have done something you don't like to yet different people and did so a long time in the past.

"Society" does not encourage greed or selfishness, nor does capitalism. I'll wager that you don't actually care about those things, that you only care about other people having more than you. You are simply wrapping your "concerns" in moral language to make it seem like some sort of altruistic concern. However, you already have more than most people on earth I would imagine, you can already give your money away to the poor. I'll eat my socks if that's actually what you do though.

I don't think it's at all illogical or a trick of the mind that we feel we have less time to do something meaningful when we have another appointment or task coming up.

In the hour before my appointment starts I could be looking over some notes from another project, but at the half-hour mark I'm already quite focused on reading-- after which point I will be lost in that work. Consequently, I don't look at my notes because it's likely I'll find that I've gone over the hour mark and I'm late, or that I will have to stop in the middle of an insight and I'll be left feeling a bit muddled and disorganized.

Instead, I could probably sit and think about the contents of the appointment itself, which is something I usually do. Or I could check my phone-- which is something I do if there's not much that I could think about before the appointment.

There is also often anxiety involved before scheduled tasks, and it can be helpful to distract from that and not do anything "productive" (in the usual sense of the word) in that time, or to try and relax. It may be more helpful to do something to prepare, but sometimes it's not.

The problem seems to be the parents, not the technology. It reminds me of a VSauce episode that brought up the following interesting antidotes:

> In 1871, the Sunday Magazine published a line that may as well have been written today about texting. "Now we fire off a multitude of rapid and short notes, instead of sitting down to have a good talk over a real sheet of paper." And the Journal of Education in 1907 lamented that at a modern family gathering, silent around the fire, each individual has his head buried in his favorite magazine. [1,2]

If the parents weren't lost in their phones, they'd be lost in something else.

I didn't miss it, I completely ignored it. It's well known that former FSB agents work at Kaspersky. But the insinuation that Russian agents could be working at Kaspersky isn't even speculation, it's just a hand-wavey allusion to some dastardly-yet-unknown plot.

Former NSA and other intelligence agents work at US AV companies, too. And the US regularly uses National Security Letters to covertly compel US companies to do their bidding. But they don't even have to.

The FBI uses its own signals intelligence branch when working with US companies, such as telcos and technology companies, on national security investigations. This sigint group then shares its information with other US intelligence agencies. So companies can claim they never passed information to the NSA, because they were only passing it to the FBI.

If we use the same rule to compare Russian and US antivirus companies, nobody should use either of them, because they have the same biases, the same ex-intelligence officers, and they can pass off information in a variety of ways and still maintain plausible deniability.

Xerox PARC developed most of the technologies that would define the personal computer, but Xerox didn't have the culture, structure or expertise to properly exploit those innovations.

Yelp was founded in 2004 and went public in 2012. By the time the mobile transition was really in full swing, they had accumulated a lot of institutional inertia. Their developers had spent years working on a big web app. They had a huge codebase that hadn't been designed with mobile in mind. They had a particular revenue model and brand image.

Turning that ship around requires courageous leadership. You need to recruit or retrain a lot of developers. You need to convince your shareholders to support a major investment that might not pay off. You need to gamble on a new business model that might undermine your existing revenues. You might need to navigate existing internal conflicts or risk creating new rifts within the company.

This is what makes startups so powerful. They're focused, they're not weighed down with institutional baggage and they have permission to fail.

This has opened so many attack vectors than it closed. For example you no longer need to hack a database to get user data. Just impersonate and request the data from target company. Cookie law trained people to click anything without reading and people don't understand what they do online. Then data portability will enable more pii in circulation. For example fake social network enables Facebook account import for prizes and so on. Now GDPR emails train people to mindlessly signup and agree to whatever. Just create fake email asking to sign up to copy of a target site. Obtain password and download all data. Furthermore employees will have easy access to neatly packaged user data, so that they can sell it in the site. This law is hackers wet dream.

The US does have a handful of relatively old, diverse companies, but when traveling or reading into other countries it seems like diverse companies are either more user-facing or more common. It just seems common in the US to hear about once innovative companies over invest in their main business model and die off. Retail like Woolworths, Sears, and Toys R Us come to mind, but so does Flickr. Maybe that's preferable since older companies carry along cruft, but it's interesting to compare the two.

This says "you should not do spy exchanges with us". Moreover, let's shoot this poor shmuck with an exotic bullet stamped with "Made in Russia" on its side AND let's also just wound the guy.

The bottom line is that this gives Russia nothing. It proves no point, it doesn't serve as a deterrent to anyone (which is what makes it different from the Litvinenko case), but it's just happens to be overflowing with signs that it was done by Russia. If Russians went to such great lengths to make sure it was obvious it was done by them, then it should be even more obvious why they did that. And it's not. So the simplest explanation is that it's a frame-up.
