Is there any feasible way to actually have the good parts of Facebook but prevent all of the data mining especially by third parties. I can't actually think of a way. Is there some subset of acceptable data to share? Is Facebook as it is right now totally broken and a new model needed?

The use cases of automatically adding your friends pictures and birthdays to matching phone contacts was awesome when I first used it in college. Games like Words with Friends are a lot more fun when I'm actually playing with people I know. Not everyone discovers and plays games at the same time so its nice seeing when someone new starts playing and also knowing not to pester friends that stopped playing long ago.

Being connected with actual people I know is nice, I just hope it doesn't all have to go away because there are so many people out there trying to abuse the data.
This time around, they have way more cash and maintain a larger share of much larger markets, and keep tighter control of spending and resource use. Their decline, if you are right about the writing being on the wall, will be an extremely long and slow one when it begins (we're talking about the first derivative here, right?). Too slow, probably, to reach "moribundity" rather than an equilibrium point of mediocrity.
Different areas of manufacturing for example. All that computer vision, now apply it to X-rays of metal parts used to try and detect failures(not it is a guy looking at them all day using a dozen primitive filters, 8 hours a day every day). These are very domain specific, like liners of internal combustion engines, turbine blades etc

On app side.. Cookpad added this neat feature last year, where it scans your pictures and adds to you cfood/cook log if it is food. The had a PhD do it, but this is because they want to do a lot more with it later I guess so building expertise and team. Food in general I think has a lot of neat computer vision apps that will happen eventually.
The AI bubble was caused by researchers being trapped on a local minimum and their focus on gradient descent meant they couldn't get out of that.
The paper that was linked suggests using derivatives rather than directly taking out loans, which are financially convertible. Specifically it says buying deeply ITM call options for several years out strike date.
The analogy is, retrospectively, not the best. I was alluding to the fact that most people take them almost everywhere they go, which is good enough for a surveillance state.
Not to mention the services that alter their TOS and "notify" you by updating a web page. No email, no summary of changes, just a quiet update to a 20 page document that you automatically agree to by continuing to log in.

Pretty bad. I tried using Ubuntu on my Surface Laptop and gave up pretty much immediately. The problem is a lack of drivers. I couldn't get the keyboard working and the device would never "sleep", so I didn't even try seeing if a pen would work. The touchscreen was functional.
I certainly appreciated it when I went to install the beta this afternoon. Took two seconds to add a volume, as opposed to many minutes (and the risk of data loss) partitioning in the old days.
You're thinking too fancy - with our technology today, we could install a bypass valve at the pyloric sphincter that just dumps chyme into a stoma appliance/bag.

That wasn't the point, but yes.
A few are buying new S, more are buying used Ses, some don't want to wait and bought something else.

BTW, the rollout of lower-priced 3's is being done exactly the same as model S and model X: while they're production constrained, Tesla ships the higher-priced models only. The smaller battery Model S shipped a year after the first S rolled off the line. Between that and not being an existing owner or employee, I'm not sure why you thought you'd get the lowest price version so soon?

Instead of responding to a question with yet another question, why not answer the question (why place a limit on how often a city can put a tax increase on the ballot)? That’s much more productive.

To answer your question, one could argue that it’s not the idea of constitutional limits that sounds dangerous, but what this exact law is limiting that feels silly and dangerous.

I don't see how the article could have been any clearer. The first sentence explains that it is about how they are back on the defensive from US lawmakers and the rest of the article is directly quoting members of Congress including one who says "Sure looks like Zuckerberg lied to Congress".

How is any of that "rehashing"? What lawmakers even knew about this at the time of the previous article?

The article is about countryside homelessness, not big-city homelessness. The problem with that average is that it overestimates the cost of countryside living, which means that people who are homeless in the countryside are seriously screwed, not "living in the wrong place".

The current trend is that more and more people can't afford below-average priced housing. This is a serious problem.
Good for them! GitHub is a great tool. Just hope microsoft doesn't screw it up.
You stated previously that Socrates was killed by an authoritarian regime that killed lots of other people. That is false. You're now stating that the Athenian government was violently overthrown with lots of killing in the process, which is also false. The Athenian democracy was overthrown legally and with words and laws.

I'm also not sure what you mean now that the founding US philosophy was used to justify violence. Things like westward expansion is what I imagine you're referencing, but that had nothing to do with the political philosophy of the founding of the nation.

It runs out of entropy? Not sure if this applies to containers, but had something like this happen in a virtual machine we used for builds (Jenkins). I made the mistake of instantiating a cryptographically secure PRNG during build time; the initialization needed entropy to seed the CSPRNG with, and this would lock up the whole virtual machine in the middle of the build. It seems that headless VMs have no possible source of entropy, unless explicitly configured to use host's source. Maybe something similar happens with containers?

"cabal" is defined as "a secret political clique or faction."

I'm not sure what you're arguing here. You're accusing me that I'm overselling what Hersh said. And then you basically say, well, other people have reported this stuff too.

Post links to what you say. And frankly I don't care about various reports "about leadership levels at the USAFA". I'm not arguing whether or not there are fundamentalists in the military. The original discussion were assertions that Hersh made that have been questioned. Hersh made assertions about two people specifically -- McChrystal and McRaven, of being secret members/supporters of religious groups. AFAIK, he still may be right, even though McChrystal, at least, has outright denied it:

I think the proper term is "status code". Simply using the word "status" by itself is ambiguous and misleading. So any new entrants to this space could choose from a lot of domain suffixes: status.codes, statusco.de, statuscode.info, etc...

In this case the instagrammer didn't get any new followers, somehow he just got more exposure among his own, real followers. The instagrammer did not know now how they did it, he said he just posted a normal photo.

The range is only a big deal if it's your only car. If you are married and your spouse has a gas-powered car, you can use that one for long trips. I know several people who leased i3s and Leafs just for commuting to work because the savings over leasing or buying a gas-powered car are pretty compelling.

For families with children, an electric car plus a minivan is a combination that's pretty hard to beat. You get an efficient electric car for commuting, and a comfortable large car for weekend trips, hauling the kids around, and buying a bunch of crap at Costco and Home Depot.
No CORS support. That seems silly.
The fist analogy doesn't work at all. BSD licenses do not permit face punching, literally or metaphorically.
The non-deprecated OpenGL code for a hello world triangle is still an order of magnitude less verbose than Vulkan though.
Not aware of any such possibilities, no.

What is this nonsense?

The REX isn't even as fast as the standard i3, nevermind considering actual performance-oriented BMWs. Your statement is so generalized it includes the S1000RR and HP4 superbikes in its comparison, hogwash.

Isn't this the standard behavior for most phones? As an Android developer, I know very well that I need to unlock my phone prior to hooking it up to my computer considering I have to do it every time. It seems like Apple is playing catch-up.

I'm surprised this is getting so little discussion - for my money, that's one of the biggest announcements today, period. It should be awesome for power users.
Different onboard charging, what? So far only China gets a different onboard charging interface from Tesla.
I think mostly it'd consist of changing the code to use mouse or trackpad events, which may be different from how the app would use touch events on mobile. Maybe adding support for a menu bar.
So. The most important feature of this new release "designed for pros" that gets top placement on the announcement page is ... dark mode. The second is stacks. The third is the ports of iOS apps (including the long overdue Home).

I find it very hard to be excited about a yet another "major" release that doesn't even qualify as a minor version bump.
I don't like that my data is exploited to target ads. But I also wouldn't like it if Facebook charged 25 cents per friend request, or threatened to cut me off from my social groups if I didn't pay the monthly fee. Similar problems apply to Facebook's platform standards and data handling.

I don't mean to claim that Facebook's done nothing wrong. But ultimately, there are uncomfortable tradeoffs involved in friendship-as-a-service. Expecting an completely non-creepy version of Facebook is like expecting a completely non-controversial version of government.
Because Tesla consistently said the rollout would not happen like the S and X. They promised the $35K base model in "early 2018", on the Model 3 configurator, on the Model 3 delivery estimates, and in Elon Musk's tweets. All of those sources consistently said that it would be coming in early 2018, and it would be coming BEFORE the dual motor or performance versions... right up until last month when Elon announced that wasn't going to be happening after all.
Easier to start with a focused group of people you have some relationship with.
Why removing the TCP pseudo-header doesn't help mobility

I was wondering this as well. More than a year ago, Tesla was pushing the "Model S 60" to reservation holders, and some of those reservation holders ended up buying the Model S.

I know, because I'm one of them.

I figured a few things: The Fed/State incentives might be gone by the time I got my Model 3, I didn't plan to buy a base model, I figured I'd add a bunch of options and figured I'd spend more like $55K than $38K, I didn't figure all the options would be available right at the start, and I drove a Model S and loved it.

I just canceled the Model 3 reservation a couple months ago, because I figured I'd hold onto the reservation to see what was happening when they finally became available. Maybe I'd need one for my wife or maybe I'd have a friend or family member who would use the reservation, or maybe people would be crazy about it and they'd be selling for enough that it was worth buying and immediately reselling... None of those came to be though.
Nah. The GPU on Intel chips is free and the eGPU thing, to me, is official notification that Apple think GPU's should be on the outside. I bet this generation of MacBook Pros are the last to have discrete graphics...

It is a hypothetical that means there are very few people in the world that would share the unique obsessions of Saturn V model makers who care about every detail. So his hypothetical wife, who likely doesn't share the same obsessions, wants to be supportive but doesn't feel the same excitement that he does.
Yea I’m actually surprised that this is the attack vector. The iPhone being able to connect via usb while locked actually does not make much sense..
I’ve been wishing for dark mode for all 6 years I’ve had my MacBook Pro, so I’m pretty happy with that alone. I also have next to no qualms with OS X in its current state so I’m pretty easy to please. I will say that the hardware quality on the other hand has taken a nosedive lately.
OK, but we're clearly talking in the iOS context, given that was the only platform Apple was blocking.

It completely disables the communication pins and only allows power.

Apple is not playing catch-up, all phones since the iPhone 5s (Fall 2013, receiving iOS 12) have a hardware encryption key entangled with the user's passcode to decrypt data.

The key is unique per phone, inaccessible to even the Secure Enclave firmware, and has PBKDF2 iterations tuned for 80ms per attempt. The Cellebrite attacks are getting closer to ~1s per attempt, and rely on being able to upload their own firmware to the phone.

This feature looks to disable the last way of getting into iOS devices without the passcode.

They certainly seem to be investing a lot in security.

It's worth noting that the sense of a lot of media is that Congress is going to remove the cap before GM hits it, which is not so different from when Tesla is going to hit it.

Thanks for the links and comment, I'm on the adtech side and largely agree - true measurement of effectiveness is unsolved, and we conflate measuring lift with causing lift.

IMO anyone paying attention in the industry knows the answer is probably less ad spend, aka most inventory is overpriced...but then the incentives take over and the firehose stays on full blast. Publishers, agencies adtech/martech, are not incentivized to right-size ad spend at all, and even for advertisers orgs, the slightest bit of silo/politics incentivizes CMOs to spend & protect their budgets.

It is a select handful of orgs with serious CEO level buy in that are willing to honestly tackle this and spend less, more efficiently. That tends to be a competitive advantage in a sea of waste.
I'm almost sure you mean private repos on github.com, but just wanted to confirm it. You don't mean corp github right?

On Skype, when they migrated to MS accounts, I’ve lost 2/3 of my contacts list and tried contacting support but they wouldn’t admit it, blaming me with a line like “you must be having another Skype account”.

After several retries to talk to them and maybe get somebody more technical on the line, I just gave up and being disappointed I simply gave up on Skype altogether – thankfully it has fallen out of favor at work too.

Skype has been a monumental fuck up and just thinking about it on a thread about GitHub being acquired makes me sad.
Simply not passing any of these parsed expressions to your eval function.

ANSI Common Lisp presents a pitfall here in that it features read-time evaluation via the #. (hash dot) syntax. For instance #.(+ 2 2) produces the object 4. After seeing #., he reader scans the (+ 2 2) expression, evaluates it immediately, and substitutes the result. When reading untrusted data in Common Lisp, the * read-eval * variable must be set to nil to disable hash-dot.

Lisps that don't have a read-time-eval escape mechanism don't require anything.

I read a lot of comments claiming that MS "used to be a bad actor" but, of course, they now "care about developers and open source". Developers, they say, are the very lifeblood of the new Microsoft. "We respect developers."

I work on Windows 10. It is normal for me to have many programs open while I do development along with dozens of web pages containing information I need. Days worth of "state" are stacked on the screen.

Every few days Microsoft reaches out and REBOOTS MY MACHINE, losing my work. My various linux boxes all have uptimes listed in YEARS. So next time you think Microsoft cares about your work be sure to thank them for random reboots.
After all, a Microsoft 'update' is MUCH more important than your work. You're "just a developer".

Microsoft cares about Microsoft, not your work. Expect the same attitude to slowly, eventually, take over Github.

You'll need a Microsoft login. You'll be hosted on its server farm, requiring a login. You'll see Microsoft-branded forks of software, prioritized in github searches. You'll see a "Microsoft Git GUI" as the required interface for push/pull. The Microsoft Git will use incompatible hashing from the open source version (it's called "embrace and extend"). Microsoft Git repository communications (e.g. git://github.com) will only work with a Microsoft Git GUI over a Microsoft-login connection.
I think this is the most likely reality.

Other than the obviously extremely-difficult-to-overcome network effects, I don't think it'd be impossible to create something decentralized that replicated much of the core functionality of Facebook, ie syndicating news, pictures, etc about people you care about, and providing some basic ability to have conversation threads. There'd obviously be some tradeoffs, but I don't think any of them would necessarily be mortal blows to the UX.
