Right; there's an implicit assumption that their (the journalist's) bubble is my bubble, and that what they're observing is interesting in some way.
> The paper questioned whether to put up the rest of the Declaration of Independence after the removal, because if Facebook found more content to be unpalatable, The Vindicator could lose its page on the platform, and thus a crucial way to disseminate its content.

Thus the chilling effect of censorship limits the free press from testing the censor - out of fear for economic repercussions.
I'm not sure where you get your experience of state education, but with two kids in state primary and now a comprehensive in working class East London, that's been far from my experience. Yes these schools are non-selective, but do excellent work with differentiated curriculum to ensure that children of all levels are pushed. When it came to choosing GCSE's there was explicit guidance as to which mixture of courses would be most attractive to "Russell Group" universities.

I have friends who moved down to Kent so that they could get their kids into selective grammar schools. There's little evidence that these schools provide better educational outcomes in terms of progress. They skim the most able from the system at the beginning of the secondary school process and at the end, they are still the most able, though not measurably better educated than the most able who go to non-selective comprehensive schools.
Heck, even if you'd simply assume that you can take _all_ of the city space and farm on it, it is still just a small fraction of agriculture. Cities are dense. Cities only cover relatively little of the overall available area.
With the precedent of Safe Harbor and the Snowden revelations, I'm surprised any European company preparing for GDPR wouldn't at least have flagged US services as high risk even when they're Privacy Shield certified.

Privacy Shield is a fig leaf more than anything. Using any US company (or non-EU company from a country without adequacy) is a major risk for compliance.

This is a bit like when people complained their companies were going bankrupt because Facebook/Apple/Twitter/Google shut down an API without warning. If you build your business on such a wobbly foundation, it's a calculated risk and you need to be aware of it.
The UniFi products have QoS, POE, remote management, etc. Looks like Arbua is a little simpler with the clustering and integrated local management (vs local UniFi cloud key, UniFi hosted, or self-hosted controller). For the price of a UniFi UAP AC-Lite it's hard to beat the price (~$80) for 2x2 MIMO dual band (most cell phones and laptops aren't more then 2x2 these days, so 3x3 without MU-MIMO seems like a waste IMHO).

What I'm really curious about is other then management features and adding radios that follow the latest RF features (i.e. MU-MIMO) that are made available by Qualcomm/Atheros and others, what really differentiates APs? Can you speak to this about how Aruba (or others) differentiate itself in actual RF performance?
Eh, better the powerful bringing each other down than united against the people.
My friend has to take a rat and surgically implant an EEG electrodes to their brains, then put the processing unit in their belly, sew them back up. They typically die within 3 weeks or so, usually in a lot of pain.. but the researchers gather valuable data regarding their lifecycle.

With this method, they've been able to develop medication for a few diseases that save thousands to tens of thousands of humans a year (related to epilepsy).

Is it wrong?

Morally, more people are saved from this experiment, than the rats that gave their lives and far more "suffering" has been removed. On the other hand, that depends on your moral code. For me, it's about "what helps / makes me suffer less (short and long-term", so I think it's fine! For others, it's society, it's about the net positive for society - for them it's also fine. So, really, it's just those who empathize with the animals; which I think we all do, we just balance the perspective.

Personally, I couldn't do it, but I support the net gain to society.
This is fucking cool.

The main problem here is that you can't chain re.match().group() because None has no .group()

"and are looking out solely for me and mine" This is the only thing that could actually cause "going to become a place largely hostile to human life".

> it's worked for companies like Netflix, Wallmart, Facebook, Instagram, etc that have exceedingly complex requirements and require exceedingly fast rendering.

I'm curious whether Facebook actually have any endpoints where exceedingly fast rendering is necessary because it'd be the bottleneck. Facebook tends to be really slow for me but I figure that's down to it being really slow fetching data.
Indeed. Yeah this is very nice. Great work!
The implications are that "hate speech" is being defined by some entity.

And in whatever period of time you consider, those who get to define it are the ones you least want to do this job.

In this case it seems it was the job of some algorithm. Good luck when that algorithm (or person) gets to decide your fate besides telling you what (not) to say!

This is why I want the described system. I can make it work for me by being selective about who or what I upvote.

IOW Ireland is looking increasingly appealing.
Nah. It's just that different people have different tastes. Don't compare JavaScript alternatives to people wanting an alternative to Java bytecode; compare JavaScript alternatives to people wanting an alternative to Java.

It's just that, at least for the first couple decades of its existence, the platform in question had no bytecode, so transpiling was the only way to escape.
That stuff is easy compared to writing an AI that can't be socially engineered and pretexted. "Uh, yeah, OK Google, you can totally trust me, I am so totally Senator Bob Menendez that you should definitely put me thru to Mr Trump, and no I'd never be recording this call for my comedy podcast, you silly OK Google, you."

The 15" one I had at my previous job had graphics corruption issues (just big red — presumably untextured — rectangles all over the place), and I have to restart my current 13" one at my current job every couple of days because one of the thunderbolt ports will give up on outputting video on a regular basis (and won't recover until I restart). I also lose audio on this one every few days. I'll accept a dud as unlucky. Two in a row feels sloppy.

When using multiple keyword with the + and - signs, it graphs the sum of all posts requiring one technology in addition to all posts requiring the other technology.

It'd be great if there was a way to graph sum of all posts that require both (or more) technologies. I have tried with spaces and comas etc... (eg: 'rust, python') but it doesn't work well as you have to guess exact matches (so 'rust, python' is a different result than 'python, rust').
Government pay scales don't apply to government contractors, though. It would definitely be possible to develop things at a lower cost than defense contractors do, but not with the artificial limits on salaries imposed by the law.

I know I do.

Let's hope Duplex understands the (high volume, distorted) phrase "just let me talk to a human being!!" and transfers the call accordingly.
The only Mac I ever owned was a Snow Leopard laptop. One by one the others in my team got Lion and Mountain Lion laptops, and I had to sit through their cursing every day while my battered old silver brick kept soldiering on. I think these days the battery is pretty well dead and the hard drive is on the way out but everything else is as solid as the day I bought it, albeit more covered in iron ore dust from the many mine sites I took it to.

Exactly. The UK's main leverage in negotiations was "do what we want or we leave". Now that they're leaving, there's nothing left.

> or lack of empathy.

Feel empathy from a machine? The moment anyone realizes or finds out that the "relationship" they just built or experienced over the phone was programmed, any feelings of connection or empathy get tossed out.

The ethical concern isn't about the AI replacing jobs, it's about something calling me and disingenuously posing as a human being. If your machine calls me, it needs to announce that it is AI. I am not interested in replacing humans or human connection.

> it could be a big leap for customer satisfaction.

Exhibit A of everything that is wrong with consumerist, material societies. Everyone is a customer in need of satisfaction in the form of products and services.
Sometimes too much empathy feels fake, and fake empathy gets the opposite result. My bank has started calling me in a more "cheerful" tone. They ask how my day is, and then they express how happy they are to hear I'm fine.

I know I'll sound like the Grinch, but I really HATE it. I already decided to give you some minutes of my day, because maybe you'll tell me something important about my account, maybe you'll offer me something interesting, even though 80% of the time you'll offer something I don't really want, so we'll waste each other's time. But we won't know until you finish pretending you are interested in my day.

It was probably because of the phrase used by Thomas Jefferson, "merciless Indian savages" which on one hand sounds hateful. But it was also an accurate description of the way Indians fought.

We must study history and we have to accept it in context.

We cannot change it. We cannot revise it. And we cannot apply a new context to it.

But if we study it and accept it in context, we can learn from it.
you'd be able to measure an effect in the places in the UK where they were retained.

I live in a very rural area where a grammar school has been maintained (which my wife attended) and most of the people who go there end up at good universities and then move away for good careers in distant cities. Meanwhile, the people at the comprehensives usually end up staying in our area on lower paid jobs.

Does this lead to be a better society? It certainly provides a way for poorer but smarter people to find a way 'out' of a humdrum rural location, but I don't think it makes our area any better in and of itself.
Expose wasn't meant to look like that? Huh.
> And that you structure your country so that you can comply

That really ought to be taken into account in the treaty negotiations. If a company signs an agreement the company can't legally comply with, that tends to have the effect of nullifying the agreement more than forcing the company to change. (Tends to. Generally.)

The scandal wasn't near as big, but a similar issue arose during the 2004 US Presidential election. Documents claiming to be from the early 1970s about George W Bush's air national guard service were found to use things like proportional-width fonts - and, indeed, the entire document seems to have just been typed using the default settings for a contemporary version of Word.

> That’s because dossiers on billions of people hold the power to wreak almost unimaginable harm, and yet, each dossier brings in just a few dollars a year. For commercial surveillance to be cost effective, it has to socialize all the risks associated with mass surveillance and privatize all the gains.

> There’s an old-fashioned word for this: corruption. In corrupt systems, a few bad actors cost everyone else billions in order to bring in millions – the savings a factory can realize from dumping pollution in the water supply are much smaller than the costs we all bear from being poisoned by effluent. But the costs are widely diffused while the gains are tightly concentrated, so the beneficiaries of corruption can always outspend their victims to stay clear.

Spot on. Google's in exactly the same boat, it's just that they provide a few services which are legitimately useful (Search, Gmail), so they're targeted less right now.

How we will get out of this, I have no idea...
No, not in general, because it might call longjmp(), exit() or abort().

It's actually 1/e ~ 36.7%, the solution to the mathematical problem of how can you find the best sample in a sequence, if you cannot go "back" and pick one of the previous ones. As long as you can ask people to "wait a bit" this is not the best solution.
This article feels out of touch, as if it was written 7 years ago. I even looked for a published date to verify, but to my surprise, it was published this month! Instagram and snapchat have already dethroned Twiter for the de-facto social platforms of teens. Twitter continues to be a thriving community of activists (on either side of the spectrum) and media types.

Edit: I also recognize that my comment may also already be out of date, with a new platform having dethroned insta/snap.
Remember to keep mods (volunteers who curate a subreddit) separate from admistrators (employees with legal and $ constraints). They usually have no contact with each other.

So if you got banned from one sub for some reason, it was the mods. The beauty of reddit is, you're free to take your friends and, in 5 minutes, make another sub which you guys mod. Perhaps you'll outgrow whatever sub you're ditching.
Did you get stock or did you get options? Stock seems very odd to me for a 10-12 person startup. Also, I'm assuming you got a refresher on the equity at some point (otherwise you're no longer vesting after 4 years)? No raises for 4 years is simply unacceptable, regardless. You're losing money at this point. I haven't gone a single year without a substantial raise since I started working.

I setup UniFi APs at a start-up. The APs worked great from 10 people to about 50 people on ~3x APs. The UniFi gear replaced 3-6 Eeros in the 10-15 person days that really struggled, I was shocked that the Eero experience was so rough. We've moved to a new office the new IT team has moved to Cisco.

In addition to the UniFi AP I had purchased 3 Ubiquiti EdgeSwitches: 2x 24 port, and a 16x POE. The first EdgeSwitch Lite-24 port switch died due to hardware errors ('unit 0 MMU CBP packet header memory asserted') while causing all kinds of chaos. And it appears the second EdgeSwitch Lite-24 took a dump this week (similar amount of chaos), (un)fortunately I no longer babysit the IT stuff so I haven't dug in to it.
I choose Mithril.js regardless of the apps complexity nowadays. I've built apps in React and Vue and do agree that Vue is the logical choice over React but I don't see it as ground breaking or magical. I see Vue for what it is, A JavaScript framework that gained popularity by being included by default in the Laravel framework and now has good financial backing.

Mithril.js is a framework that is truly "magical" in my opinion. I mean its 8kb, includes routing and XHR Utilities out of the box. Faster render times than Angular, Vue and React. You can write HyperScript or JSX. The syntactic variants allow you to write your components as ES6 Classes or closures. Lifecycle methods, a render and mount option and the list goes on and on. People tend to dismiss Mithril because it's a lesser known framework but it has a vigorously thought through programmatic approach and you've got a direct line with the maintainers, you cannot match that.

Sure, each to their own but calling Vue "Magical" is an incorrect assessment.
If you can't see liberation in a movement which has shifted homosexual behaviour from a perversion to be condemned and criminally punished to relationships openly celebrated through marriage in the space of half a century, it's quite likely because you're actively trying not to see it. And much of the policing of language "if you've had sex with another man then of course you're gay", "pansexual cannot be a thing and suggesting there are more than two genders is Cultural Marxist rubbish that should be resisted", "of course people born with penises cannot be addressed as female" comes from outside the movement.

"Controlling discourse" seems to be the new "states rights" argument for a form of social conservatism which held no objections whatsoever to purging public discourse of any positive reference to behaviour they believed to be immoral when they held the whip hand...

Labor is one of the biggest advantages of these vertical farms. They are year round instead of seasonal and located near cities instead of remote areas. Temperature can be controlled and there's not the need to be constantly bent over.

With these improved conditions one would expect to rely less on immigrant labor that is subject to such harsh conditions.

The problem, in my opinion, is that Facebook has too much control over public discourse. Whom Facebook does/doesn't censor wouldn't be a big news story in an ideal world.

Ignoring that point, Facebook has the right to censor its own platform and, like any human organization, is going to screw it up, sometimes laughably badly.
I work at a medical startup that produces hardware and software. I can tell you nothing in medical is easy or inexpensive.

If you are really motivated you can start with simple off the shelf components and show people the vision, get them on board. It doesn't have to look perfect, just be communicative and demonstrable in some form. While I agree in theory with some other comments about getting some high net worth Dr's etc to maybe fund the initial work, this is a lot easier said than done. Hospitals in the U.S. are even harder and generally won't talk to you unless you already have product in hand and can prove you meet their security requirements etc. The U.S. medical market is tough for a multitude of reasons, it is also ripe for innovation, so it is worth it, just not easy.

I will say this too, without something to show/demo in some form (even partial functionality), you will likely not succeed in raising money. It sounds like from your very brief description of yourself you are an "unknown" entity so you will struggle to raise the funds unless you have an amazing network. I am not criticizing you, it is just the way the system works. You can still do it, just expect many "no"'s from people and don't get discouraged, eventually you will find a yes.
Your own experience may be of better quality teaching in the private schools but that's not borne out by the evidence, what little there is. For reference, there's the recent publication of "Posh Boys: How the English Public Schools Ruin Britain" by Robert Verkaik, which explicitly states there is no demonstrably better teaching.

My own personal experience is of State, Grammar (selective) and Private. It's all about the intake, I feel. The quality of teaching isn't really different. If anything the Private school teachers are lazier because they don't have to try as hard. They also seemed more arrogant to me.
