I agree. Amazon recently moved to a Netflix-like interface, likely for similar reasons, a pain to navigate compared to what they had before.
Lately it almost seems like there's a competition to see who cares the least about children. As though giving any thought to their well being is some kind of unwarranted "won't anyone think of the chidren?!" hysteria.

No, see the diagram (https://www.w3.org/TR/websub/websub-overview.svg): publisher tells the hub "here's the new content", the hub is in charge of contacting each and every subscriber telling them "here's the new content". Only the hub _could_ be overwhelmed, but it works at its own rhythm so it has more control.

I was around when the Clojure community seemed to make a conscious decision to not chase Android, so it's precisely their decision to miss that train.

But I think Clojure isn't in a terrible spot right now. It gets a modest amount of use. More than I think many people imagined it possibly could have.
> The size of the US federal budget has only gone in one direction regardless of which party was in power, and it hasn't been to get smaller. And they keep passing anti-startup garbage like FOSTA or the incredible bureaucracy that de facto prohibits small businesses from participating in the finance or medical industries. These are not libertarian policies.

Yup, all correct. I say this with the slight bias of a dual national, but if you want a glimpse into the future that current US policy gets you, look at Italy. And then keep in mind that Italy still provides education and healthcare.

EDIT: Not sure why I'm getting downvoted. I didn't make this comment to be inflammatory, moreso to point out that our policy promotes wealth concentration and erodes middle class opportunities. I'm not suggesting that libertarian policies are a solution, nor that the US has adopted them. Just saying that the Italian regulatory environment favors incumbents and that my take is that we're headed in that direction as well via corporate capture. Italy's not a disaster - it's still the 9th largest economy in the world - but it certainly doesn't live up to its potential following its post-war boom.

To add to this, my recollection from looking at cars ~6 months ago is that this feature is pretty common now. With my car now, I just get distance + upcoming turn info, but usually that's okay - I prefer looking at signage for lane stuff anyway. If I really do need lane info, it's on the center console.

It's a shame the dash screen doesn't work with android auto though. (I understand, logically, that the dash and the android auto stuff are separate systems, but it'd be nice...) Nissan actually has pretty good maps, but they're rather ugly (and not quite as good as Google's).

If just using encryption is good enough for you, then why not use Facebook Messanger, Google Hangouts or whatever they call it these days, or WeChat? You can verify their use of encryption with Wireshark.

You argue that Telegram is great because it's open source, but what difference does that really make when it's a centralized service and that centralized service has access to all the plaintext? So what if the client is open source? What does that actually help us verify in this case?
If you care to, you can dig up plenty of examples of people underestimating, overestimating, or correctly estimating the future capabilities of AI. Just because some guy in New Jersey underestimated it once doesn't mean we should accept AI hype uncritically, especially since much of that hype is driven by moneyed interests.

> It is unclear which "it's" you are referring to

Sorry, I just meant the sexual service industry in general.

> The location of Thailand plays a key role in the success of the sex trafficking industry. It is close to war-torn Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia. China and Vietnam are also nearby. Various waterways along with porous borders also facilitate trafficking.

I know lol, I live here and have travelled to all of those countries dozens of times. Regardless of whatever you have read, 99% of the prostitutes are Thai women and are working by their own choice, at least as much as any bricklayer or garbageman in Ameria has chosen their line of work. Any other nationalities should be a footnote.

> https://www.endslaverynow.org/blog/articles/history-of-prost....

I'm sorry but this article is silly.

"Trafficking" and "Slavery" in this case are ideologically-loaded euphemisms. There is the sex industry and there is economic (and often illegal) migration. There isn't really a super unique and exploitative sex trafficking industry.

I have never seen a large movement by the Thai middle class to fight "sex trafficking." That's not because Thai people are evil or ignorant, it's just because it's not a big problem that really exists. No one is going to risk enslaving women for sex work when (a) there is a surplus of women perfectly willing to do the job without being enslaved and (b) normal men don't get off on the thought of having sex with slaves.

There is no sex slavery epidemic in Thailand.

> I said that I didn't believe all mathematical discoveries had an impact on computability, but you just suggested I was saying that not all computation is based in mathematics. Which is absurd

No, that's not what I said. What I said was that this statement:

"I don't think the space I'm talking about is equivalent to the state of all of our mathematical knowledge, as AFAIK not all problems relate directly to this space."

is false. This is not a matter of opinion. There is a formal equivalence between math and computability. For every theorem, there is a corresponding program that halts IFF the theorem is true, and for every program, there is a corresponding theorem that is true IFF the program halts. Therefore, it is necessarily the case that all mathematical discoveries have an impact on our knowledge of computability because there is in fact no distinction between math and computability. They are the exact same field of study, just with different window-dressing.

> and it's clear you think I'm stupid

No, I don't think you're stupid, merely ignorant (and a bit defensive). And this has nothing to do with your lack of rigor, it has to do with your intuition that there might be something worthwhile to be discovered by trying to examine the structure of known halting and non-halting programs. This is a well understood problem. It is possible that you could discover something that everyone else has overlooked. But if you do, it would be a breakthrough of the highest order, a major revolution in both computability theory and mathematics.

Actually, it was Woody Allen in the movie "Take the money and run" which carved a gun out of a bar of soap. The escape attempt was almost successful until they entered the courtyard where it was raining heavily.

Apparently this scene was based on a real escape attempt by one Charles Makley which did indeed carve a gun out of soap and paint it black with shoe polish. He was however gunned down by prison guards, so the attempt was not successful.
Or, we could avoid breaking the economy while hoping that it can be fixed quickly.

I believe it does invalidate their opinion on abortion when they are using “basic humanity” as their reasoning. Some unrelated example about Einstein and racism doesn’t really address that hypocrisy.

Not to mention that this same political party isn’t practicing “basic humanity” in their border policy or towards journalists. It’s ok to call out the hypocrisy. Crying “basic humanity” isn’t (and shouldn’t be) a get-out-of-jail-free card.
As things stand right now insofar as I can recollect, copyright is inalienable in the EU. That is, in contrast to the US, you can't give it away. But that's fine in practice, because you can still grant an exclusive royalty-free license. Is article 15 changing that?

OK, so show us an example. We don't have to "imagine" someone on the right comparing Barack and Michelle Obama to chimps, or apes, or gorillas in a non-scientific inquiry because it was a constant during his presidency.

Presto Summit July 16 at Facebook HQ – Distributed SQL
Thank you for this. Balance it hard to find. The fact is that we are speaking not of a monolithic nation, but of individual tribes with unique histories. Lumping Native Americans into a single bucket, while politically useful, is ahistorical. Nations war over access to land and resources. This is just at true of the first nations as it is of the new worlders.

The atrocities committed by the US government against the first nations should not be whitewashed. Neither should the atrocities committed by one tribe against another. But few would contest the obvious truth that the former greatly exceeded the latter in terms of scope and effectiveness, particularly due to the imbalance of power.
I initially thought getting rid of the 5 star ratings was a good move since, for me, a movie is either good or bad.

However, the percentage rating alternative seems to tell me nothing other than a movie I haven't watched yet is a similar genre to movies I have?

Then there are the 'New' movies which don't have any rating at all yet.

The 'suggestions' also seem only to suggest stuff I've already decided not to watch.
For RSI purposes, both sides suck horribly but it helps to alternate. The idea of having a mouse or trackball off center is often a huge reason for the RSI in the first place. And if one is concerned with RSI, simply using a mouse, even one of the more ergonomic ones is a bad idea due to the large amount of movement. Trackballs, trackpads, and other devices, especially if they can stay centered, IMO, are preferable. I really like the rollermouse, which despite its name, is not a mouse at all. If anything, switching hands constantly is the ideal and this allows that. The magic trackpad 2 from apple is not bad either, but takes a lot more work from the arms and fingers.
This isn't fair, the OP broke down his arguments for why the author was wrong, and all you do is appeal to the author's authority as a "trained professional". After a certain amount of life experience you realize that "trained professionals" in some (many?) fields of study often have glaring gaps in their knowledge of are purposely ignorant of some set of facts/ideas that do not corroborate their philosophical leanings.

Either way I feel it would have been more productive to rebut the GP on the merits of his arguments. For the record, I agree with him, though I am also not a "trained professional", just an amateur who has spent a lot of time thinking about this subject.

Wow. What a goal post move. I don't think this is how successful technology spreads. Governments usually accomodate tech because it proves itself in the market, not vice versa.

> These are not libertarian policies.

The Iraq war had significant buy-in from (some now mainstream) libertarian writers and thinkers. For example, Megan McArdle, under the name "Jane Galt", wrote feverishly in favor of the war on terror and mocked those who opposed it. The libertarian argument was that by toppling dictatorships and theocracies, these "liberated" middle-eastern democracies would all have liberalized economies.

I don't want to single out libertarians here though, I just want to point out interventionist policies have widespread support in the United States across the political spectrum (after all "even the liberal New Republic" supported it) and I don't see that trend reversing any time soon.

Graphs and ML: Linear Regression?
Yes. The secret is to find a few well-networked people and then get invited to gatherings/parties in the homes of said people. You'd be shocked at both how connected all of the important and wealthy people in SF are and how much business gets conducted at intimate gatherings.

What's nice is it's somewhat less insular than other status-oriented hierarchies in that you can break into these circles by being reasonably good at generating value (particularly as an engineer/technologist) and even vaguely charismatic.

That said, in my opinion the primary focus should always be on figuring out how to create value. These days the upper echelons of the Bay Area are alarmingly saturated with talkers and bloviators, as opposed to doers.

Netflix is nowadays more of an original content creator rather than a distributor. In this context, I don't know how big of a company they truly are. Their 2017 profit was $245 million.

This assumption would be false, but it's not the one I was making. The first people to recognize the potential of a new technology are usually young. Yes, Facebook is popular with older people now. It wasn't in the beginning, even when it opened up to everyone and not just college students.
Just look up any movies showing in cinemas, music on the radio and reviews in newspapers. That is the same companies behind the lobbying.
Perhaps you missed the subtitle: With his unconventional take on children’s television, Mr. Rogers helped redefine the male role model.

The point of the piece: Mr. Rogers provides a model of maleness and masculinity that works especially well for boys and men who feel scared, alienated, or attacked by society. This model, rooted in love, contrasts with other models for that subpopulation that ground out in anger or hate.

In other words, the very thesis of the piece is that there is a salient relationship between incels/mysogyny and Mr. Rogers: the latter provides an alternative to the former.
