That highlights the cognitive dissonance in his post:

>There are a lot of bad people in the world, and quite a fraction of countries are ruled by them. Thugs respond to power.

The US is still a good country, with a good government, but it's ridiculous to assume it immune to the same threats of tyranny as every other nation.
> Are you talking about UN?

Clearly they're talking about Team America: World Police.
I kind of agree actually. Humanity has always been at conflict with each other and will be for the foreseeable future.

But for the first time in history we have the tools to conduct intense warfare yet limit collateral damages and minimize cost in both human and material resources.

The engineers who worked on precision strike weapons/smart bombs should be applauded instead of ostracized, in the past we'd just carpet bomb the whole city to get rid of enemies, along with innocent civilians.

Obviously perpetual world peace without the need for weapons will be ideal, but I'm afraid I won't live long enough to see that day, so I'm totally fine with a more pragmatic approach at making war less costly than necessary.

If drones powered by AI can achieve that, I'm all for it.

IMO, most anti-progressive views spawn from anti-USA views.

Isn't the US responsible for a lot of the instability in the middle-east and South America?

As I type this I have this vaguely plausible fear that someone in the NSA is flagging my general sentiment and incorrectly labeling me for something or the other even though I'm mostly a pacifist.
So your contention is that you have to be fighting a world war in order to help your military? (The post you responded to) There's no other reason to help your military? Really?

Edit: this came out a bit snide so let me elaborate. There are plenty of reasons you may want to help your military when there isn't a world war going on. You can do it for patriotism. You can do it for the economics. You can do it because military applications of technology are actually pretty cool and can lead to more commercial inventions. Or, to the point in my original response, you can do it because you understand deep down that the threat of military force is what underpins the overall fairly secure world that we live in. Look at the military maneuvers and carrier group movements every time two countries get nervous around each other. Despite (or maybe because of) evolution were still just a step away from clubbing our neighbor (or being clubbed) for resources. So yes, a strong military helps support the country Google was founded in and thrived in, and helps Google and every other company in the US be successful, and makes possible the salaries we all make. So there are definitely incentives for those companies to want to make sure their military is properly supported. And no, I'm not a military man.
If a company is going to build drone AI in use by the military, I feel MUCH better knowing that company is google and not some poor-quality contracting company.
Isn't this, in itself, a huge problem? Shouldn't public service be a low margin project? Could the fact that military contracts are so needlessly "lucrative" (despite the government having a literal monopoly on who you can sell advanced weaponry to) be why such a huge margin of your taxes go to defense?

This seems very very disconnected from reality. You're confusing the word "events" for meaning "meeting up with friends"

In reality FB events are extensively used by ages 16-30 as well for bigger group gatherings, such as going on holiday, going for a weekend somewhere, or something like that.

The worst thing about DST is that it breaks the linearity of time, allowing for it to skip back and forth and causing all sorts of problems such as "missing" and "empty" hours.

In my country the train stops for one hour at the spring DST change and just waits for time to pass to account for the "missing" hour and not mess up the schedules by arriving one hour earlier.

How It Should Have Ended
The world is changing incredibly fast, and we are not all aware of it. Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies are an irreversible advancement that is disrupting established industries and the ways in which we interact financially. For that reason, I believe understanding and being aware of this blockchain wave is incredibly important.

Blockchain advancements will financially affect the majority of citizens in both underdeveloped and developed nations, and are already doing so.
Most importantly, I evaluate whether this change is positive or negative for both individuals in society or large institutions such as banks. After extensive immersion into this subject which includes tremendous amounts of research and actual ownership of cryptocurrencies, I became extra confident in the results I found.

The more chip-makers in the "machine learning" space the better, I would say. But I'd also hope for as much general purpose computing as possible.

Numeric convolution is just piece-wise vector multiplication and done a lot in CNNs but it still seems more specialized than what a GPU has become - more or less a glorified general purpose parallel processor using the SIMD model (in Flynn's taxonomy).

Because you need a valid certificate to break SSL connection.

The filtering hardware looks for SNI field at specific offset. If you break packet into two it will let the packet through because it doesn't reassemble IP packets (probably because it would require more resources).

When the law was discussed initially, I think somewhere around 2012, after large protests against falsifying parlament election results and Putin's third term, media explained that there is many illegal information on the net, for example, terrorists' sites, sites selling drugs, sites that promote homosexual relations or suicide among minors. So the government needs a law to protect children from this. Sometimes they also add that some western countries censor Internet access too.

Several years later new causes to block sites were added, such as sites with pirated movies, casino sites, sites that allow to view blocked content or provide VPN services, or pages that call for an unauthorized rallies.

It is somewhat ironical that when Ukraine blocked russian social networks, media explained how to bypass the block.

If SF decided to fix the homeless situation by providing them with psychiatric care and/or housing, all, then all the homeless around the country would start heading to SF and they would end up subsidizing it for the whole country. Even as it is, the nice weather and tolerance makes it attractive for homeless to move there, hence the inequality.

There needs to be a national solution to the drug addiction and (lack of) mental care that the US is suffering from.
April 2004: We will machine-read your e-mails so that we can show you banners more efficiently. No funny business, we promise. We also collect all kind of data about you, even offline data but no biggie.

April 2018: We developed all that technology by reading your e-mails and analysing your daily life, now we will make military gear with all the expertise we know about the world and the human population so that political actors can kill more efficiently. No biggie.

PS: We control the information flow, we can start and stop political conflicts by selectively displaying information but we would totally not use it to sell military gear. Oh, we also don't claim to be not evil anymore but no biggie. We also have established political ties and spend tons of money on lobbying but we would definitely not extract wealth by starting political conflicts and selling gear that is designed to contain the specific conflicts to the people in power that we spend a lot of money to keep in touch. No biggie.

You can run Github on prem using Github Enterprise [1]. However, that follows a subscription model and Github can potentially terminate it at any time.

Gitlab has an open source version [2], which means that preferring Gitlab over Github prevents giving more control of the project's direction to another entity. ( Not speaking on behalf of GNOME of course, just remarking that it is a good thing that free software projects are preferring Gitlab over Github )

ANZ, Deutsche Bank and Citigroup face 'criminal cartel' charges
Google is missing the opportunity to use youtube as the basis for a social network.

Zuckerberg is not one to stay still, he'll copy youtube and use it to keep Facebook relevant. It's only a matter of time.
That last sentence is so true now. I think Facebook lost itself as it has begun to try to become everything to everyone.

The best version of the newsfeed was a newsfeed that could be filtered by content type. It was great when I could view just status updates or photos. Facebook serves a purpose, for me, that is similar to my Twitter now -- as a place to consume news from outlets I subscribe to, like ESPN, The Atlantic, Vox, etc.

Facebook's best move, as a company, was the acquisition of Instagram.

More is not always better. I think Facebook, some few years back, had a shot to build a video publishing platform that could have taken some slice of the pie from YouTube, but now they have a helluva lead. They also have broadcast television and have recently introduced easier ways to share content with those you're already connected to.

It looks like the "walled garden" approach to content distribution and ultimately, the views, which drive advertising revenue is really hurting Facebook as a destination site now.

The locked bootloader would prevent flashing anything that was not signed by Google.
OP is pretty light on details, but GCC and clang keep up with standards amazingly well (who knows about MSVC). I'm sure there are bugs, but what even are they? Is there a list? It's definitely not at all like the difference between Python and Jython, or even Python 2 and 3.

Or if you want an even better example, look at JS benchmarks for different kinds of loops. Every engine is different. How completely bananas is that. Differences like these are a whole other universe compared to differences in the major C++ compilers.
And hey fuck users, the ad platforms are the real good guys in all this right?

Yeah, I think we have a fundamental difference in our beliefs about the effectiveness of violence (i.e. assassination via drones) to promote world peace. Hard to know what wars have been prevented via assassination, but if you might look into all the evidence of violence continuing or escalating after assassinations (how many "heads" of ISIS have been killed in drone strikes? and check out all the US activity in Latin America...). But that discussion goes beyond the graveyard of a hacker news comments section. In any case, thanks for the thoughtful responses.
Because it is a conflict of interest.

The public has put their trust into Google for 20 years. We supported them. We cheered them on. We have voluntarily given them all our personal data. Our emails. Our instant messages. Our voices. All of it feeds into their massive database for them to mine.

We put our faith into them, in the hopes that they would honor their creed, that they would do no evil.

But gradually, that facade has faded away. Their accumulation of personal data, beyond what is necessary for them to perform their work. And now this. The utilization of their wealth and knowledge, to push forward the state-of-the-art in the weaponization of Artificial Intelligence.

There is nothing that will stop this. The military will find a defense contractor to do their bidding. But Google can voluntarily elect to remove themselves from this sector. Let some other company do it. Let someone else figure it out. The blood of dead innocent civilians will be on their hands. You don't see Raytheon, Boeing, or Northrop crying about it.

By doing the military's bidding, then Google is now far scarier than Microsoft ever was. For those who don't know, when they coined the phrase, Do no evil, they meant it in relation to the Microsoft Borg of the 1980s and 90s. Microsoft now seems like a sheep in comparison to Google.

I think it's time to disconnect Google from our lives. But, it's hopeless. They are everywhere.

What does this code sample have to do with FRP? This code seems extremely trivial and doesn't give any real indication to me why you'd need a framework of any sort. It seems like they really want to emphasize that they use FRP, but this code just seems completely unrelated.

As I mentioned in my statement, they certainly come the closest but still far from it, given that they were chartered by the King and then their charter revoked as soon as they grew too large with their land holdings (India) effectively confiscated.

They also didn't challenge Indian state directly, but rather as vassels of the British Empire.

What I'm talking about is for example if Amazon raised a Military, set up a border around Seattle, declared the Port their own and then told the US Govt "we're a sovereign nation" and forced the US into a treaty.

I strongly agree. Made my "dream text editor", launched with a focus on gamification tools designed around making people write more.
Although people liked it (3rd product of the day on Product Hunt, a bunch of sign-ups), in time it became evident that gamification tools create more problems than they solve. We removed/sent to background most of them since, besides a writing calendar and general statistics. I'm more happy to use it now and have a small - about 2% of registered users - awesome community.

I work at Google but opinions are my own.

This is actually the thing I don't understand. Could you or someone please kindly explain it to me?

What is "evil" about working with the military or developing weapons?

I've seen this whole "Google is betraying its 'do not evil' by working with the military" as fact so many times but I've yet to get a better explanation for why it's actually evil besides some variation of "the military is bad"

That's especially nice for other scenes than your own, in towns two hours or more away.

Yes. But if iMessage is presented as the success and as an example of what Google could have had part of if they only hadn't switched to hangouts, I'm not sure how it works as evidence since google switched to be more like iMessage.

If the prior contract reputation is the primary concern, couldn't google get good reviews from the feds on altruistic projects? The less important the contract amount, the easier it should be to choose an altruistic project (they tend to pay less).
'My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.' That's undoubtedly one of JFK's most famous quotes. It's interesting to think how much things have changed since then. Imagine if a politician, let alone a democratic one, said that. The response would be... less than positive.

So what's changed? One thing that I think is easy to pinpoint is that we've turned sharply against nationalism for various reasons. But then a simple question. If we're to believe that devotion to the American culture and interests is bad, what is supposed to make people in this enormous nation of 325 million care for one another? Right, we can say we -as humans- ought care for one another naturally and unconditionally. And lots of people say they care about e.g. what's happening in places outside of this country (Africa as a typical example). The median energy/income put towards doing anything about those situations, even just among those who claim to care? Absolutely 0.

In the heyday of America when there was a much stronger sense of connection between employer, employee, and generally people at large. Rich or poor, urban or rural, politician or voter, liberal or conservative - you were a fellow American. For instance the last time that a basic income in the US was mentioned actually came from a republican - Richard Nixon. That's not to say that I think it is/was a great idea, but rather that this deterioration of concern in society is a very new phenomena. Now we live in a society when a person goes to a congressional ballgame to try to kill as many congressmen as he can - many people were, shall we say, less than upset about his actions. There's certainly a chicken and egg question there, but the tautology needs to said: when people could not care less about one another (if they don't fit into their ingroup), it should come as no surprise when people could not care less about one another (if they don't fit into their ingroup).
No… from a pure game theory perspective the positives don't outweigh the negatives for doing so.
There is no logic to your argument here at all. You’re saying that every company that supplies anything to the military is automatically wielding an unethical influence to create war on false pretences.

I think you can certainly find examples where commercial entities have played a suspicious role in that respect, but to say that simply by supplying goods or services to the military you are war mongering is completely devoid of logic.
I find this comment very odd. The 18-22 (college) crowd still very much does use FB events extensively as well.
