This reminds me that I like to mention that doing targeted ads that is actually good require a system specifically designed to do so.

Found that accidentally because of autocomplete on my phone changed "-ef" to "get".
Actually, the deepest oil rig in the world called the Perdido rig, just off the Texas coast, at 2450 meters is anchored with hydraulically driven piles deep into the sea floor
That requires rational thinking and accounting skills on part of management, both are often in short supply, just look at the current Elon Musk meltdown... mission-hostile management is a thing.
I'm not a vegetarian, but if I was one, I would hope to have the good taste not to pretend I am eating meat when I am not.

There are excellent vegetarian culinary traditions in the world. India stands out as a country with amazing regional vegetarian cuisines that celebrate their ingredients and don't pretend to be something they are not. In the United States, vegetarians eat fake meat.
I meant finding it in the context of a coder who writes a function. It's hard to identify which expression and statements can cause exceptions and effectively short-circuit your function. In contrast to explicit errors-returned-as-values.

(Panics of course can cause similar thing in Go but that's the reason why they should rarely be recovered and not used as a value propagation mechanism.)
Number 1 isn’t true [1]. Sf has far fewer homeless than LA and NYC and far fewer shelters. In fact sf has one of the lowest shelter rates among cities with high numbers of homeless (<50% compared to NYC which is over >75%)

Is it? Maybe I'm odd in this regard, but knowing that blood coagulates and having seen how blood sausages look like, I implicitly understand that "meat bleeding" is not actual blood.
Maybe it's a factor of my age, but I love these kind of 'walk down memory lane' articles.

After my Dad passed away, I kept only a literal handful of things of his as mementos. Of these was his TI-59 (from when he was studying electronic engineering). It's the first 'computer' I ever used and wrote my very first program on (a number guessing game). Still have a few mag-cards with 'lunar lander' (turn-based, enter the thrust per iteration and see the resulting height, velocity and fuel ... if I remember correctly). Haven't fired it up in years. Might do so this afternoon :-)

Addendum: the Casio credit-card sized calculator? I soooo wanted one of those!
I tried that, but I failed to learn anything interesting in 140 (or even 280) characters.
I'm not sure I agree. If someone buys a radio to transmit illegally, the advertising platform they viewed the ad for the radio on isn't liable, nor is the place they bought it from, nor is the manufacturer or importer. (There is quite the controversy around people buying Baofeng radios to transmit illegally. Amazon is happy to sell you one, no questions asked.)

This extends to many areas. Gun manufacturers aren't liable when someone goes on a shooting spree with a gun, for example.

I feel like this is a slippery slope. Facebook lets anyone advertise anything, and gives everyone the same targeting tools. If you use them illegally, that should be on you, not on Facebook. Just like how you can use a screwdriver to screw in screws, or to go around stabbing people with it. The difference is that screwdrivers are a well-understood tool, whereas ad targeting tools are new and scary.

If you want to make advertising illegal, I'm fine with that, but good luck.

From a long distance the colors would merge in the eye. And this would be visible from a long distance. Imagine it on a high spot next to a city.
The problem is:
These kind of censorship of use generated content can't scale up to all jurisdiction.

Maybe we should acknowledge it is impossible to make a global, legal, Facebook-like website.

I was really fascinated by this as well. I think it's a great idea. Where does the 15 hours/per developer/per week come from. Couldn't find more information about that anywhere on your website.
And that's the problem, tell me 10 miles and it will always be 10 miles. Where I live, in a rapidly growing city, 15 years ago it would take 15 minutes to downtown from my house, now it takes 25 or 30. It's the same distance but traffic has increased significantly in a short number of years.

I wouldn't be too upset. There are a few traditions of Buddhism that attempt to make plant derived substances approach the texture and taste of a few animal proteins[1, 2]. They do a pretty good job of it.

I've lost count of how much people I've met that actually thinks it's blood. In my experience, it's the default assumption.
This is really useful. Thank you.
What are these cultures which existed solely on vegan diets? Honest question, I searched but couldn't find the answer, there was a response on Quora which mentioned some Buddhists are vegan by default, and some Hindus and Essene Christians are vegetarian, but she "wasn't aware of any 100% vegan cultures."

I can understand vegetarian cultures surviving, since they can acquire essential nutrients through the animal products found in diary, but would be intrigued to find a vegan (plant-based only) culture. Was there perhaps one in the distant past or ?

Last startup I joined died. A tip - when a founder tells you they raised money, make sure they have actually "received" the money and that the fund they raised from hasn't gone insolvent :)

Luckily an ex colleague referred me and it has been an amazing journey at LinkedIn. BTW We are hiring!
Previous generation was slightly more upgradeable. You could upgrade the SSD, though only 1 or 2 vendors sold products that worked, and you might have to jump through some firmware issues.
I’ve had similar experiences. Redux is very elegant in principle but I’ve found that it results in an explosion of boilerplate and hard to follow code paths. By the time you’ve pulled in something like redux-saga to handle async the lovely simplicity that made react so popular in the first place is a distant memory. And the mess that an eager but inexperienced developer can make with this stack is truly something terrible to behold.
It's an odd situation, while anyone is certainly still able to do any of these things (openness), Facebook and their kind have largely made it a fool's errand to even try. And I agree, the world has probably suffered more than we can imagine (and you have to imagine, what could have been). Yet, I think even the most rabid anti-FB person would have a hard time making a case they've broken any laws, at all.

And this is all distinct from the very serious free speech (not first amendment) issues, which are another huge problem.

I wish instead of freaking out over the latest petty outrage du jour, our societies would spend more time considering whether whether we might be going down the wrong path in a variety of ways. All the same stuff we see on the news day after day after day almost feels like cover fire.
I was a freelancer doing contract work for various companies (while also running a few side projects) and a guy I did work for recommended me. Guy who I was recommended to messaged me on LinkedIn and we arranged a lunch meeting to get to know each other. Soon after I started doing contracting work for them. After about a month of the contracting gig he asked what it would take to bring me on full time and we came to some agreements. Now two years later I'm a partner at the company and we're growing like crazy. It's cool how all the little decisions and events in your life can come together to get you where you want to be.

Damn. Could it mean if you can reflect and pinpoint your glory years being a while in the past then you are screwed?
Hopefully you get to enjoy VR/AR at some point. You could build a widget that connects your git repos to visualizations of filing cabinets, and your Recycle Bin to a visualization of your room being full to the ceiling with crumpled documents.

For bonus points, find a generic document preview library (a la macOS Preview), render images of everything in the Recycle Bin, and use these as the textures for all the crumpled bits of paper. And use a procedural physically-based renderer to make all the crumples move as you walk around the room!

Potentially also make all the videos in the Recycle Bin play on the crumples.

I'm completely serious; this will exist eventually. You might as well make it, you have the romantic motivation for it.
And they tend to do a damn good job. There is a brand called May Wah that makes incredible fake meats. I have no issues eating meat, but some times I crave May Wah nuggets.
Then surely a generic CEO can be referred to as “him” since 29/30 of Fortune 500 CEOs are men.
You have to haul the materials to make cement in from somewhere though anyways, right?

I know nothing about the cement business, so it's hard to have even a clue how to estimate this, even if you consider the power to be ~free..
I'm not a vegetarian, but if I was one, I would hope to have the good taste not to pretend I am eating meat when I am not.

There's a lot to be said for food that's "true to itself", but burgers are really good, perhaps especially to people who have grown up enjoying them and like to continue doing so. That doesn't seem in bad taste to me.

India stands out as a country with amazing regional vegetarian cuisines that celebrate their ingredients and don't pretend to be something they are not. In the United States, vegetarians eat fake meat.

Pretty baseless assertion. In my experience, most of them don't eat much of it but some like it sometimes.
The value you bring to the firm is a factor in that it is a cap on what you'll get paid. Value is also relative, if a monkey can provide 90% of your value then you'll get paid a little more than peanuts.
I had the exact same thought as well 'nobody cares what the jam, canned, or juiced fruit looks like'. I guess it might depend largely on the exact mechanics used for what is feasible for what application and how much they need to care about the end product. Like say if one attempted a juice or alcohol precursor pulp production by just pulping or pressing everything, leaves and all and then filtering out unacceptably sized bits.
Sure, you’re the victim here.
> Drinks considered “diet” or “zero calorie” are also taxed.

That's nuts. I guess sugar providers lobbied that crap into the law to neuter it.
Well, that is the point. Why is HUD regulating ad business ? Why has no one challenged this on 1st amendment basis ? Or is this too political a thing here ?

> or an intention to make any such preference, limitation, or discrimination.

And HUD is also regulating "intentions" ?
My intention was not to invoke an off-topic political rant. The OP's comment indicated that lack of interest in social welfare programs is "a general American thing" and it most certainly is not a "general" thing at all. In fact it's a very "specific thing" espoused by a specific group.

I don't think that disputing the OPs assertion constituted a rant or was off-topic. I had no interest in taking sides either.
I don't really understand how this is serverless if you are still connecting to a remote terminal. There has to be some kind of service to receive the connection through a TCP port. To me the term serverless suggests execution on the local computer without transmission.
It isn't really clear to me how this differs from usual database integrity constraints? However, I'm not familiar with what typical SQL databases provide.

The database I work on has had sophisticated integrity declarative integrity constraints for a decade now, so it seems surprising that this would be considered something new.
Definitely not the implication. Everyone can receive racially charged behavior, however the outright hostility towards lighter-skinned Asians in the United States is significantly lower than towards other minority groups as well as darker-skinned Asians.
Doesn’t matter if you figure it out, you’ll never solve the problem unless you’ve seen it yourself. Imagine an app for plumbers, you’d probably need to know plumbing to make it. It’s like that.
I don't see how that is a pleasant experience. Other manufacturers of laptops in that price range will give you 3 years on-site support where they will send out a technician to replace as much as possible in front of you so you can keep working. Often they will even be able to replace the logic board within half an hour.

Hell, my Thinkpad T420 had complete manufacturer created instructions on how to replace the display and keyboard so I could to it myself after the warranty runs out.

While many people are arguing how Facebook could have missed the regulation I think it is pretty sad that such large corporations have lost their moral compass and in their greed they have forgotten basic human values.

Irrespective of law I think Facebook should have been sensitive and should have discouraged people from discriminatory ad spend unless the product truly requires it. For example it makes sense to target African Americans for hair braiding services but I do not see why Facebook should have allowed housing ads to target based on Race and handicap.

I also think HUD is not the correct government arm here. HUD is dealing with only rental issues but under the surface there might be more horrible discriminations being enabled by Facebook.

What we need is a new regulatory federal body that will ensure equitable ad targeting policies and ensure minorities like handicapped people, muslims, blacks etc. are not harmed.
Hated my current job and while I was on vacation in China, I sent a couple of inquiring emails to some contacts I had. I had a phone interview from a hotel lobby in Hong Kong at 2am (job is in Illinois). By the time I got home, I had a face-to-face interview and had a new job in a week.
Why would we do that? We haven't been able to stop merchants swindling customers since the invention of trade, but we don't throw up our hands and shut down all markets. We just do the best we can to keep things as upright as possible.
Huh. The stock photo at the top of that link for me has a picture of a white man, an Asian woman, and an Asian-looking little girl. There are no other stock photos on the page.

The fact that I want to tell others that I want to rent out my property to people that meet criteria chosen by me is both a free speech and private property issue. This is 50 year old law that deserves a repeal in my opinion.
Recruiters do.
I wanted to dismiss this finding as some kind of reputation adder, whereby after a hit a professional's work would receive extra positive attention that might not have been warranted. However, but the authors appear to extend their result to artists such as Van Gogh, who was not, to my understanding, famous during his lifetime. According to the authors, he managed to produce his best works in a clustered manner while the feedback from these works presumably remained about constant.
No, but I do remember this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_68k_emulator and this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_(software)
Completely agree. I have the 15inch 2015 MacBook Pro and a Surface Book 2. It took a bit trial but I now have a setup I like using WSL for development, and have brought all the MacOS keyboard shortcuts over with autohotkey. All Apple needed to do was have a single model without the touchbar and I would have purchased a newer model regardless of potential keyboard issues. Surface Book 2 is the most brilliant hardware I've ever used that actually makes my MacBook feel archaic in comparison. The keyboard in my opinion is the best I've ever used and being able to detatch the screen and write on screen and read books in portrait mode feels like some alien technology. Battery life is also a huge win.

I was very skeptical of Windows as a development environment so bought the 8GB version as mainly a secondary computer/screen and notepad when doing work in cafes alongside my Macbook. I'll probably end up selling it and getting a the 15inch 16gb version. My Surface has only recently dethroned my MacBook as my daily driver after spending time to set it up properly. Also once you get used to a touchscreen it feels unnatural to not have one.
Are you saying that as a lawyer who is aware of this area of law, or are you saying that as a random internet person? I'd be more than a little surprised if your guess is correct. Normally, in my understanding, if one makes a good faith attempt to follow the law, one is normally in the clear. One does not become culpable when one's efforts to comply are stymied by fraud on the part of a third party.

Then again, I'm just a random internet person. If you're a lawyer, or if you can provide chapter and verse, I'll shut up.
The hypothesis that they will grow to be better adapted to an urban environment is far more likely to be true (regardless of if we are talking about the effect of evolution or nor).

However, the article is talking about a specific claim that they would also be more intelligent. This is a far harder hypothesis to predict the truth of (and to test). But, to the extent that "intelligent" is well defined it is still a reasonable hypothesis to have. In fact, I think that, by far, the least likely scenario is that they are equally as intelligent as their rural counterparts, as that would mean that environment has no effect on their intelligence. While this is probably true of some animals, It would be very surprising to me if it held for the more cognitive ones. The question then becomes how big of an effect is it, and in what direction.

Of course, when we drill into what "intellegence" means, we will probably find that it is a multi-dimensional notion, and refine the discussion to more/less intelligent in certain dimensions.

EDIT: it is also conceivable that an animal that grew up in environment A, then moved to environmnet B could be better suited for environment B than the one that had lived in B for its whole life.

> By the way, if these ads are illegal and conducted through facebook, how easy is it for the FHA to look up who is responsible and go after them. Their whole job is done for them. Going after Facebook is sensational and feels good I guess.

No. Going after Facebook is the only effective way to combat these kinds of illegal ads that occur on its platform. If you get it to comply, then the problem's solved at the source. If you follow your recommendation, HUD wastes its resources continually chasing after small fish, and the problem is never truly solved.
The fact that this entire article was written on twitter is more interesting and remarkable to me than the actual content. Although they're both pretty interesting.
A question unrelated to your programming concepts: If you only query your source when a request comes in, doesn't the first requester get old data? This is a problem I have faced before.
I wrote the blog post, thanks Serge for the great library! I considered the self-contained app without the web server method, but I've already done the images before and I'm way more comfortable with Go web programming (I wrote that book too).

Your analysis completely ignores larger considerations like a) preventing a streamer from gaining the upper hand over the record companies or, b) ensuring that there is always at least one non-Apple/Google/Amazon streaming company.
Society doesn't have to accommodate Facebook's need to scale their businesses. If Facebook is unable to comply with a jurisdiction's laws then it shouldn't do business in that jurisdiction.
I can agree with you if the ad network publishes a transparency report that is publicly available and includes all ad activity on its network. I doubt anyone will agree to this. They'll cite privacy and security and blah blah.

Just to be clear, we're talking about targeted advertising. I don't know how we can fix this issue. Maybe Facebook can ask tell type of an ad something is?
It's a strictly incorrect metaphor. Radio stations aren't liable in this scenario. Neither are newspapers with illegal personal ads for discriminatory housing.

There's no way they can be liable because they can't know if the ads are illegal or not. The legality of a given ad depends on many factors not always present in the ad itself -- such as whether the landlord lives in one of the units. All of the above selection criteria are perfectly OK to filter by if a landlord occupies a unit in a building with less than 4 units.

This is why it's legal to advertise for particular genders in a shared apartment scenario. It's also legal to advertise for other criteria like race in these cases -- though it's not socially acceptable.

It's impossible for Facebook to know whether a given ad is legal because of these hidden criteria.
