This idea is quite popular among this crowd and is based on the erroneous assumption that 1) people are sufficiently educated on the subject to make anything more than a casual pass at filtering, 2) care enough to spend the mental energy needed to use these filtering tools rather than just checking out of the platform, and 3) such tools will not soon become the problem.

There is a long and unpleasant history to show that this idea is never going to work. If Facebook wants to survive as a platform they will need to undertake the unpleasant task of setting a baseline, enforcing it, and telling people who disagree to go find another platform. To be honest, I don't think Facebook as a company or its employees as individuals have the courage to save it -- it is too easy to keep cashing the checks while Rome burns...

That's definitely the way to become a professional-photographer. If you're not getting paid you might be having fun, and you might be artistic, experimental and doing interesting things but you're enjoying a hobby.

When it comes to getting paid to shoot people, with a camera, there are a few routes. The obvious ones are shooting Weddings. I shot one wedding, and "never again". Bridezilla is a term you'll come to associate with very clearly if you're not unflappable.

My niche was photographing escorts, and grandchildren. Sometimes pets, but mostly half-naked ladies and children in the range 4-9. Needless to say I advertised upon different sites for these niches.

Escorts, hair-dressers, make-up artists, and similar professions will need regularly updated pictures. You don't have to charge a lot to become profitable, as usually they're pretty simple to do. You need to know poses, you need to know lighting, but you don't need much equipment (even amateur level stuff will do). Obviously you need spare bodies, lenses, batteries, cards, but you don't need them to be too expensive.

The kind of equipment I used started off was low-end Canon bodies and hign-end lenses. Over time my bodies became more advanced. Something like a 5D MK1 (x2) batteries (x4) CFCards (x8) and a small selection of lenses (24-70 f/2.8, 70-200 f/2.8, 50 f/1.8, 85 f/1.8) would set you back maybe £8000 which is an affordable price assuming you shot 4-8 people every weekend. You can start with smaller numbers of bodies/lenses, and expand over time (as I did).

Beyond the traditional options you could pimp yourself to pre-schools, toddler-swimming-sessions, OAP-homes, maternity-hospitals, and even cancer-wards.

If I had to start over doing this I'd probably look at underwater-bodies and toddler/child-swimming events. Parents love pictures of kids, and although phones are ubiquitous the results won't compare to a decent DSLR in the hands of an expert. Plus babies underwater look AWESOME!
Uh maybe you are right. It's been a long time since I've stopped using ebay.

However, I am quite sure I have seen elsewhere this feature. It's not bad. It allows to have more recent opinions about the item.

They need data to produce the product and you can only achieve that with javascript tracking pixels (Server logs aren't good enough).

I disagree. They need journalists, and they need to find some way to monetize. Your argument implies there is no other way than to add user tracking. Sure, images take up space, but I refuse to believe the current way of the web is the only viable option.
Yes, static analysis is very useful for understanding what the source code will do for inputs you didn't test. Testing is rarely exhaustive. However, testing will find performance issues where static analysis won't.

To quibble with "none of these are acceptable in Agda": it seems unlikely that Agda or anything like it would detect hangs or timeouts due to code not meeting its deadline. Deadlines and performance constraints are not part of any type system I've ever heard of. Furthermore, performance is dependent on the compile toolchain, the runtime, and what else is running on the same machine, so it's not even well-defined for static analysis unless you make a bunch of deployment-specific assumptions.

A language may guarantee that a function is total in a theoretical sense, but you might not be able to calculate its value for some inputs in practice. (Consider something like "a ↑↑↑ b".) So this guarantee is subtly different from what most users of computer systems would actually want.

Of course, as a another commenter pointed out, this sort of practical bug-finding is not actually what the termination guarantee is for.
The sad thing is that it's not a time warp. It's how a millions of people still browse the web today. I know people who are still on 1.5Mb DSL, who are only a couple miles from the city center. Not only is the line limited to 1.5Mb, but they are so deteriorated, that you can't get speeds over 768Kb. It's extremely common any time you get just a little tiny bit outside of the city.
as a kid i was scared shitless of flying. the idea of being blasted across the country in a pressurized metal tube was overwhelming to me. when my family was planning a trip to orlando for disney world, i contemplated staying behind with family so i didn't have to get on that plane. in the end i went, and overcame my fear of flying. now, i prefer air travel to just about anything else.

part of what helped me is my mother's job working as the business manager for a local hangar and airplane mechanic. hanging around the hangar i saw how many hours went in to maintaining even the smallest two-seat planes. i heard about how many hours pilots logged before they could even look at a small regional jet. the mechanics, pilots, and engineers working on those commercial planes are all the best of the best.

turbulence: when a plane is between 20-40k feet, what feels like a catastrophic drop is, subjectively, not a big deal. sure it's scary and the plane bounces around but the plane will not go down in turbulence. it may drop 10, 20, 50 feet. but you still have 19950 to go before problems arise.

finally, don't psych yourself up reading the manuals about what to do if things go wrong. don't even listen to the presentation. put some headphones on and look out the window at all the people working hard to make sure you and yours arrive at your destination safe and sound.

hope this helped even a little bit. flying is stressful even when you're not scared, but it allows for so much freedom.
I had a spell a while back - particularly with take-offs - and something that really helped was paying attention to the mind-boggling amount lift that was generated by putting my hand out the window of a moving car.
I understand your confusion. Just, you know, take it out of the car when you get out. I've had people tell me "Geez, your car is so clean". It's not. But I don't have trash, empty bottles, old coffee cups, fast food bags, etc because, I take it out when I leave my car.
You are missing the point. It depends on who you know or who you can convince to provide money. This is inherently unfair.

I guess I am just trying to force it past that. And force myself to write about mundane things. Maybe that is the real problem. But on the other hand, how do other writers do that? How do writers for hire, or ghost writers are able to write about whatever topic is assigned to them?

What helped me was:

1) Consider the micromorts of the things you do in your everyday life. Chances are, many of them are higher than flying.

2) Look up flight accidents for recent years. Large airplanes almost never fall out of the sky. If they crash, it’s usually on the ground and survivable. Smaller aircraft are far more dangerous, but you can avoid them. Terror is somewhat localized geographically. You should also look up how many flights there are every day. It’s way more than I expected!
It is, but not as rare as you might think! I've been reading some of the old books/papers about SMPY from the 1970s, a talent search study which uses the SAT-M to screen for visuospatially-gifted middle schoolers; they then study them and try to accelerate their education with summer camps, advanced math classes, and grade-skipping and/or early enrollment in Johns Hopkins (where SMPY is based). SMPY was a big part of making acceleration for gifted children acceptable in America, when the conventional wisdom was that they should be forced into regular classes for their own good.

What they often did early on was, around age 14, SMPYers would be admitted to Johns Hopkins to typically start taking math and computer science courses, at which they would often excel and be at the top of the class, expected to go on to post-graduate work around 19, and fit in so well that fellow students and their teachers often (when surveyed or asked) didn't realize they were so young. If you look in OP, that describes Tang remarkably well.
Ok. But the "working class" people who voted Trump in don't get to see any of those gains. They at best got a one time bonus, which is still taxed at higher rates, and in exchange, they get cuts to many of the services they rely on.
There was a time when I was developing a mild fear of flying. Never enough to stop me from getting on a plane, but I was really uncomfortable on those planes if there was turbulence.

Now, I still don't like turbulence, but my fear has mostly gone away. The reasons are 1) having been through enough insane definitely-gonna-die-now turbulence and not died to build my faith in the technology, and 2) knowledge about the statistics and rarity of airplane crashes. All I can suggest is hammering those two into your brain and letting your rationality take over.

Now if only I could figure out a solution to my fear of heights, which I'm currently convinced is pretty rational... (edit: fear of edges/cliffs would be more accurate I suppose since the height of flying doesn't bother me...)

> 1. No caffeine on a flight day. This helps for any anxiety that may start to build for me.

This was a big one for me. I'd also add a 1(b): no alcohol the night before. I'm ok having a glass of wine or something while on a flight, but drinking the night before definitely has the same anxiety-inducing affect that caffeine the morning of has for me.

It's how they can square the circle of "Russians are trying to sow division" with content that is identical to that

Employees can be a threat, yes. Ideally, the ports to connect data should be non standard - or just glued shut. Or have no employee!

The problem with stuxnet was that non dedicated thumbdrive brought in the worm. Also their equipment was networked. Bad idea. If data must be exchanged, use unidirectional links. Good old serial ports, with only TX or RX wired (Edit: I do not think centrifuges need a full ethernet stack. Depending on high level abstractions like TCP/IP for simple operations comes at a cost)

My model is not perfect safety, but if it take something the scale of stuxnet to attack, I feel safe enough.

I laughed when the recent spectre and meltdown exploits were revealed, because the good old airgap model meant I did not have to care.

Saleforce's problem is that its presentation layer is a giant pile of legacy code, which can be fundamentally changed, because there's a gazillion extensions and customisations that rely on it working the way it currently does. Having worked a bit with it, there's absolutely nothing about it that "benefits" developers, anymore than having to maintain a VB6 app "benefits" developers.

Done right, a modern web app should be better for both developers and users. The one benefit of the crazy shit described in the article is that if you don't weigh down your page with a multiple MB of ad-network and analytics scripts, then it can be incredibly fast.
Due to my anxiety disorder I have been through a group based CBT course. Our group was heavily focused on systematic desensitization, one particular technique that was prescribed for patients whose fears could not be easily reproduced in vivo was to put a most detailed worst-case scenario in writing and then having it read every few days, until the level of anxiety caused by reliving it in fantasy decreases to manageable levels.
I have not, thanks for the pointer. GIMP is still a software I would like to like; will give it a try.

I think they're correct to dismiss this type of review. I know when I'm looking at reviews and someone writes 'the product arrived faulty - one star', this tells me nothing about the product when it's intact, which presumably most of them are.

Whoever receives a faulty example, they'll obviously get their money back, and I find this type of review misleading when trying to evaluate a working version of the product.
I would highly recommend finding a therapist who specializes in Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) which is a form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that has been shown to be particularly successful in treating anxiety disorders.

[Edit] "Disorder" isn't really the best word for it. You're just kinda stuck in a little loop. It's really not that bad and you shouldn't feel bad or get down on yourself for feeling it. But, on the same token, the avoidance behaviors aren't going to do you any favors.
They're probably avoiding that word because propaganda is most closely associated with governments and they are not sure that this is driven by a government.
X-plane is an excellent choice. It has a pretty generous demo and also works on Linux.
This is both an appeal to people's universal appreciation of efficiency, and a weak denunciation of the modern web. Your argument is

1) that a website's value is the number of words on the page, and

2) that raw text is the highest value data that can be transmitted over the internet, and

3) that inefficiency and wastefulness of bits is a bad thing

First off, you need to defend your first two assumptions. Don't websites do a lot more than display text? Does HTML/markup not have a magnitude more value than raw text? And how exactly is being inefficient with something that is abundant a tautologically bad thing?

> They can contain malicious code just as well as a thumbdrive

Of course.

> The concern with USB is the firmware, and the thumbdrive pretending to be a HID device or having an extra partition with malicious code.

Right, that's the concern I was alluding to above. You'd still be better off burning optical media (and disabling any autoplay crap on the target system). You can still store severl GB of data on optical media.

> Just keep them for 1 year before using them, in case an exploit becomes popular - but this is extremely paranoid.

This may work if you only stick with very popular makes/models, since they would have a higher chance of being 'noticed' for doing something wrong.
A random archive of the New York Times frontpage in 2005 is 300kb. Articles were probably comparable in size.

Are you honestly saying that the landscape of the internet and/or the staffing needs of the NY Times has changed so drastically that they actually needed a 22x increase in size to deliver fundamentally text-based reporting?
Not only that, but it also has 2 trackers on it (google analytics and carbonads). Hard to take this argument seriously.

Bang on, and you've picked some reputable sources. America has a rich history in interfering with the elections of other countries. It (possibly) happens to them, and suddenly it's like "how dare they!".

Having recently lived in Russia, people still have not forgotten Yeltsin, and they won't. Luckily at the end of the day however, they mostly separate their frustrations with the American government and the citizens of America.

I agree that the data are imprecise. It is impossible to confidently answer "is Putin more popular today than a year ago?" But they are good enough to answer "does at least half the population support him?" Contrast that to oppressive regimes in Egypt or Venezuela, where the regimes do not appear to have popular support.
With a slight tweak, this is also the kind of algorithm that is used to personalize disinformation campaigns for large numbers of people. As Cambridge Analytica was famously trying to do in the 2016 election.

So yes, this algorithm is useful for manipulating people. And not just by using an extremely broad definition of the term.
If you can stomach it, take some flying lessons. You'll be less scared of processes you understand.

Here's some advice I've given to people over the years and hopefully it will work for you.

A day before or the day of the flight purchase a lottery ticket. You'll bring this ticket with you on your flight.

Before you board have a look at the ticket and verbatim tell yourself this: as lucky as you would have to be to win with that lottery ticket, you would have to be even luckier for your plan to crash. You are not that lucky.

Repeat as necessary but do not change the wording.

This works for most people I've counseled.

The underlying argument is that although the economy is improving in some aspects for some people, what good is it if the majority of the population sees no to negative benefit? If a journeyman level low skill worker makes less real wages today than 30 years ago, and the majority of the country is comprised of low skill workers, how on earth could anyone consider the recent economy a net positive for the country?
