The parents are also suing radio talk show host Alex Jones[1], and Wolfgang Halbig [2] for promoting this idea. There they have a case for defamation. Here's Halbig's Facebook page.[3] But blaming Facebook seems misplaced. These guys are on Youtube, Facebook, talk radio, and their own web sites.

There's a narrative that Intel will keep AMD down no matter what, so it's good to see the market working and refuting that.
>Why should the harassers get to win...

Well, I don't really see it as winning and losing. After all, you simply cannot win against crazy people. What's the old saying? About never getting in an argument with an idiot?

My point I suppose (assuming I even have one) is why they would feel the need to stay, rather than just leaving. It didn't impact my life at all to delete my account, and I'm asking whether there were some development since that makes one NEED to stay. I know loads of people have accounts with FB, but the question I asked, and think they should be asking themselves is "why?"
I hate when I see a javascript question in stack overflow and all answers use jQuery without needing it.
"What will happen the day Facebook will start censoring any pro-gun content?"

Then we cross that bridge when we get to it. But I find this idea that they'll leap straight from banning people harassing the survivors of mass shootings to banning all gun content absolutely idiotic. Like, far beyond the "slippery slope" stuff that normally gets thrown out.

"The only good way to address this is to let people speech and prove them wrong by having a civil debate."

I'm pretty sure the last 10 years or so have proven that false. See: GamerGate.
I haven't had to do so much myself, but the docs have decent info on how to obtain it. https://reactjs.org/docs/integrating-with-other-libraries.ht...
>I actually think that basic health care should be covered by taxpayers and we should not have private insurance companies profiting in that space.

What happens when someone gets their genetic information released in a country with public healthcare, and then moves to a country with private healthcare?
>Treating people as if they're degenerates or below intellectually average for not using plastic

I don't think there's anything wrong with choosing not to use plastic and I didn't say there was.
Now that food delivery is all the rage, what happens to the drive-thru?
The joy of not having to deal with broken production builds when dependencies change under your feet is well worth the "technical debt" in my opinion. Reproducible builds are valuable in their own right.
> he couldn't see obvious things everyone else could see, but he could see things no one else could.

This is probably the most accurate statement I can agree with about him with all that I currently know about him. I consider him eccentric in his own way but darn it I cannot deny he got results.
I really want someone to come along who has an answer to all this. I sure don't. Just some observations.

I think the last decades have been an unprecedented experiment in massively scaled two-way communication. People don't really seem to know how to handle the current stage of this experiment. It was a little easier back when it was much smaller communities on Usenet, or even IRC, and most of the time you recognized the same names and could work things out like everyone had got together for a slightly uncomfortable family dinner.

But it's not like that anymore. Hasn't been for quite a while. The scale and speed of things is just hard to fathom now, and we really aren't equipped for it.

Facebook has shared some responsibility in ethnic atrocities [1] [2] [3]. Different groups are now exploiting Facebook's advertising platform to stir up more social unrest [4]. Facebook isn't the only source of trouble; Reddit and other sites are radicalizing youth [5] and struggling with self-policing their most toxic bits [6].

Everyone's concerned about the loss of free speech. I'm pretty far left politically, I get it. It's a big step, maybe the last, towards tyranny. I've been opposed to forcing websites to police copyrighted content (DMCA, SOPA, PIPA). I've been a little less opposed to forcing them to police sexually exploitative content (FOSTA and SESTA -- although I don't love the execution of it).

For people on the political left, who tend to both support free speech and recognize the danger of unregulated firearms, it might be time to take a more careful look at the damage done by massive social networks and ask: what makes this different from gun control?

And is there any way to effectively reduce the spread of misinformation, radicalization of people, and incitement of violence on massive social platforms, without suffocating the free exchange of ideas?

One of the largest reasons that we don't have highspeed wireless internet from satellites is that the spectrum is on the lower end of the US gov's use for old marine gps systems. It may interfere so they block the projects.
iex runs smoothly because of erlang's console and ExUnit runs in parallel leveraging BEAM, so it's considerable. The foundation was pretty much there from the beginning.
Angular's learning curve is the worst I've ever seen. We mostly use it because "Enterprise" but I prefer React when we get permission for that reason.

Too much abstraction, too much magic. It's possible to do just about anything but the docs are sparse enough that you'll be crawling through github PR's and source to figure out how to achieve it sometimes

As far as I can tell begets is the original form, begs is a mondegreen. I am using this deliberately only since I came across [1], to say "escapes the question". Alas that's just an unsubstantiated hunch. Maybe I should just write "escapes".

[1] https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-Eur...

... which is akin to Latin fugio, fugere -- to flee. The analysis of OE begietan as be+get strikes me as faux-etymology fashioned after behold and the like, where beholden has little to do with holding, all the same.

This is a hobby of mine to the point of becoming neurotic. It's all in vein if a play of words needs explaining. It's still kind of insightful, if you'll entertain me a little longer.

If bʰegʷ- means to run, flee, then how is bʰeg-, to break, related? Why is to break rather reconstructed as bʰreg-. Why is bʰegʷ- given an alternative form bʰewg-? Does preḱ-, to ask, fit in here; or prey- or what it was with a related meaning? Maybe wreg-, whence wreck?

What about bag, pray, pay, fag, vag, way, weigh, etc etc.

Maybe to break away from always meant ''departure'', ''to go, run away''. Why are hurried news breaking? Why does German have "brandaktuell" instead, burning news? I have to break it to you, I don't know. I can already hear you begging the question to stop. But I have one more. Is a beggar someone living out of bags? I really don't want to know.

Facebook can ban every single thing they want. Its their property. They aren’t the government.

The first amendment doesn’t remotely apply no matter how hard you want it to.
"Well, I don't really see it as winning and losing."

But that's not really a position that has basis in reality. To those doing the harassing, getting the people they target off of social media is, for them, a win.

"My point I suppose (assuming I even have one) is why they would feel the need to stay, rather than just leaving."

Because they want to use FB and social media like everyone else is able to?

"It didn't impact my life at all to delete my account"

I'm glad for you, but you're not everyone.

"and I'm asking whether there were some development since that makes one NEED to stay"

NEED doesn't come into it at all. If they want to continue to use the platform, they should be able to without dealing with that kind of harassment, plain and simple.

"but the question I asked, and think they should be asking themselves is "why?""

And I think you should ask yourself why that question has any bearing on the situation. Why they should have to consider whether they can continue to do the same things that most other members of society get to do.
I appreciate how convenient it is to have statistical analysis tools available directly in BQ SQL, but are linear and logistic regression really considered "machine learning"?
All good points. If the install market for these is fast-casual restaurants, it's probably not unreasonable to cap them at something like $20 per transaction. While the cards should be reloadable, they could probably also have limits for both carried balance and reload frequency, and the presence of human staff at restaurants should also deter money-laundering activity.

Here's one that uses jQuery. See how much simpler it is? The one you found does have more functionality, but try rewriting the one I found in React without using jQuery. I guarantee it will be much more complicated.

I get your point, but most of your post could be reduced to "we didn't do it, so it doesn't happen".

Facebook giving out privileged API's willy-nilly without verifying who the people operating them really are is the issue. If a bank gave the keys to their vault to some shady people then you blame the bank.
I would recommend that you have enough liquidity left over that, in case of employment loss, that you are able to float for the time required to secure further employment. Add a gracious buffer.
This made me wonder: what parts of our pop culture will be studied as rigorously as historical literature? Where will RPGs and video games fit in? Will some odd history professor in 2100 awkwardly DM a game for bored future college student equivalents?
Coming from a platform which stores time as local times and no time zone (also needing to handle SJIS text formatting on occasion) I wouldn't consider it a common problem, but the amount of code which doesn't handle dates that I with with is surprising high. I wouldn't be shocked if much of Japan's code has similar oddities (I suspect future dates will have a special comparison logic added for the overlap which results)
Somebody shared this in a HN comment sometime back and I absolutely loved this video. As a government contractor I had no idea of this rich history. His website is also full of amazing gems too.
If the H-1B statutes were enforced as written then the total number of applicants accepted each year would comfortably fit in a large conference room.

I think OPENSTEP for Mach 4.0, the version with the new UI that never shipped post-beta, may have been based on 4.4BSD. It wasn’t until Rhapsody that this was dusted off with bits pulled in from FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD (you can see this history in the Darwin libc source hierarchy).
Hacker News has never been about free and open discussion, unfortunately.

I use the userscript I have linked in my profile to disable the fade for downvoted comments but there's only so much you can do.

And to be fair... there are some subjects for which Hacker News has proven less than capable of maintaining civil discourse, and some subjects like mainstream news and politics which are legitimately off topic. But it would be nice if people learned to just ignore sentiments they both disagreed with and were neither willing or capable of a reply to, and just hid threads they didn't want to participate in.
>The problem is that the groups that are spreading this propaganda are also spreading the private contact information of the families, a practice known as doxxing.

Isn't the doxxing the problem then? It seems like the focus is in the wrong place.

Don't we already have laws on the books to stop harrassement? Don't we have laws to stop from inciting violence? If we need to strenghen them then that's an opportunity for discussion. Do we need to talk about our free speech laws? I frankly think it's time to have that discussion, and not quite because of the reason you may think.

Neither of those discussions is this discussion though, and that's my issue here. Facebook is (as another more eloquent commenter said) a megaphone. Why are we blaming the megaphone?
Have you considered the impact on your relatives and descendants? They may care more about their privacy than you care about yours, and when you get sequenced they don't have a choice.
>> what is your most frustrating problem with technical debt?

Actually using the product that has a strong scent of technical debt behind it.

Vendor provides updates (could call them minor or major) which are essentially colored bandaid patches on top of most critical issues without any significant improvements.

Likely caused by waves of temporary hit-and-run consultants hired to "save the day" and each of them done that to minimize personal effort before collecting the paycheck and leave.

Eventually the product needs to be completely rewritten or risk to become obsolete due to healthy competition.
This company is the drug dealer of Silicon Valley. They have consciously destroyed a generation attention span using psychological tricks.

It's not Greenwald's definition - he sourced it in the video from Article 3, Section 3 of the Constitution:

And then goes on to cite previous court cases and what charges were actually brought in them.
I see your point about intensives.

However I have to disagree on your opinion on the hardware. RISC-V was specifically designed to be able to do low end very well. The whole encoding for example is optimized to a tiny amount of space. The overall instruction set again is designed to use minimum amount of space as well.

There is a whole project about 'ultra low power processors' at ETH Zürich [1]. They have specifically selected RISC-V because it fit their needs so well and they produce cores that beat available ARM and MIPS cores specially on energy. IBM selected a RISC-V core for their project in 'Next-Generation Edge Computing' [2].

So it seems to me that small and simple really does pay of when going to very tiny cores.

Development with React is becoming similar to old school event driven desktop apps, thankfully.

If I want a fancy drop-down with accessibility support and theming etc, there's probably 50 different libraries with components I can pull in and use with little fuss. A few lines of code to import and register event listeners.

I was a huge user of jQuery for years, and it also has quite nice UI libraries. But the power of React is the standardized scaffold and lifecycle. I can pull in UI components from almost any library and use them intuitively. Mix and match them on the same page.

Trying to do that in jQuery will quickly drag you to hell.
Southern California faces a similar challenge. There are many interesting fossils and any sizable work site is going to find something. Usually it just gets surreptitiously trashed, but occasionally it’s something so awesome the builders actually follow the law.
I know, but that doesn't stop managers from claiming that any process on some kind of n-week cycle is "agile". Maybe I've had bad luck, but it feels like a lot of companies pick up some agile-for-managers book and implement whichever process is there, minus the parts of the process that make them uncomfortable, and the results are often not great.
"Verified users should be able to post what ever they want" quoting someone from FB was a headline I recall flying by on multiple news sites today.
The general issues people have are around Application env, compiled System variables from build box in their configs, people forgetting that module attributes are compiled, and those sorts of issues. Libraries have begun moving away from Application env per library guidelines, and have begin moving to init/2 callbacks instead, which alleviates a lot of those issues, but there are a lot of straggler libraries that will not change for a while. So you have to do funky things like play with your Application env in your application.ex file. You had that weird system tuple thing that some libraries supported, and some that didn't, and then things like Confex coming up to meet in the middle. There isn't a nice story for getting secrets from something like Vault, for example.

Releases are not mainline yet (soon!) and are kind of off to the side in a semi-officially supported way (bitwalker is amazing!). There are guides for this, but not the same type of guides as would exist if it were in the core repos. Then you have hot code reloading, which exists, but is usually said to be shied away from generally, so there's even fewer guides about all the gotchas that come with those sorts of systems. Some people even run mix phx.server on their prod boxes!

I LOVE this language, and all these problems have solutions and workarounds, but one can't tell the story without being honest about the current release/deployment quirks. Things are definitely better than they were a few months ago, and much better than a few months before that. But they're not quite at the level they need to be for something that's supposed to be so fundamental to your application as its configuration and release. They'll get there.
It doesnt really matter whether you opted in or out. In the end, all that matters is whether the projected profits from abusing your data exceed the projected legal costs of doing do.
Just so you know, if you can invest about $1,100 a month for 35 years and get a 4% return after tax, you'll have a million dollars. And the more you invest when you're young, the better that math gets...

Nobody with any capacity for critical thought ever believed there were WMDs in Iraq. The government's disinformation campaign was not sophisticated at all. It wasn't the whole government -it was pretty much just Cheney, Bush, and Rice. The NYT reporters weren't useful idiots - they new exactly what they were doing. Selling papers. They pretty much admitted it later https://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/26/world/from-the-editors-th...

Is this entire site, like, text generated by some machine learning thing? It really doesn't read like it was written by a human, unless it's an art project.
You can see the last point in action on a number of places. I can think of two sites in particular that pop up "You will be signed out in XX [decreasing number] seconds unless you click 'Continue'." messages. I can come back to the site's tab three hours later, and the countdown just started!
As well, Facebook announced that they were going to set up a new incubator in China.

The P/E ratio is backward-looking, because it considers past earnings, not future earnings. AMZN has a P/E of 293. AAPL has 18. TWTR has 90. This is not a terribly meaningful metric for tech names with huge growth potential.
This page shows mostly full-custom keyboards, which you have to compile the firmware for yourself. Naturally, that affords ample customization.

Thanks for the feedback warrenm. Heuristics can be useful, but I built this calculator to help freelancers account for opportunity costs and unexpected expenses in their rates. For example, someone who makes a $100,000 salary would charge 100,000/2080 = $48/hour by the measure you described. However, I don't believe that rate accounts for PTO, National Holidays, Health Insurance, Business Development time, self-employment taxes and many other things. A more realistic equivalency in my experience (and according to the calculator) would be $100-$125/hour.

Hope that's helpful.
It feels to me like we're moving away from cards back to cash in the last decade:

- Gas stations offering cash discounts

- Stores requiring minimum purchases for cards

- Restaurants adding a service fee to use a card

I don't think I every came upon these three items a decade ago, and now they seem standard.

No Free Lunch Theorems for Optimization [pdf]
On one hand I see where this is coming from: people like restaurants and having a variety of them, usually a good chunk of their business is from office workers at lunch, and by occupying those offices, tech companies are making the economic situation for those around them worse again, and harming the vibrancy of the areas in which they build offices.

On the other hand, the in-house catering is often better, healthier, more convenient and more efficient than what you would get at a restaurant.

But I don't really think this is an honest attempt at solving a real problem though, I think this is an attempt to have a vote on a wedge issue that London Breed has to either veto or sign, making her a weaker candidate in the next election.
