> If you ignore the section which prohibits overt (and blatantly illegal) discrimination

Why should we ignore it? It sounds like Facebook allows you to use those exact things to target your ad. Thus the problem.
(4) Char. I believe the heme (maybe myoglobin, I’m not a doctor) also helps when grilling to get the char and carmelization you get with normal meat burgers.
Its fundamentally a logistics company, why does the valuation depend on uber not buying self driving cars from a third party?
At some point, Netflix decided my address was fake and cancelled my account, I never bothered to address it since that seems like a silly way to deal with that scenario.
If I'm paid to publish ads for hitmen, am I innocent because I didn't write them?
> And for the eventual "waymo cannot handle rain or snow and probably won't be able to handle it for years" argument: almost all of the taxi driving market is under normal conditions.

Rain and snow are normal conditions in most of the U.S. Here in NYC (one of Uber's largest markets) it's been raining a lot lately. I don't think a taxi service that doesn't operate in the rain would get much business here. The demand for taxis actually goes up here when it rains.

Also, it can start raining quite suddenly. What do you do if someone is on their way to somewhere in a self-driving car and it starts to rain?

> It will almost certainly be profitable to just service customers when weather conditions are fine and then park their cars in bad weather.

You'd need somewhere with enough space to park your entire fleet when it's raining or snowing. That would be rather expensive.
The law is against publishing discriminatory ads (discriminatory wordings that encouraged racial hate).

Facebook ad audience filtering -- is a very different tool.
So, build two more LHC's. ;-)

In my view it should be a judgment call whether a particular result needs to be replicated. I'm aware of the so called replication crisis. But adding more arbitrary rules will simply invite people to figure out how to game those rules, if they were gaming the original rules (deliberately or unwittingly).
I can't reply to you cabaalis, but the difference is excluding (discriminating) versus targeting. Targeting is legal, discriminating is not.

As in the Alamo Drafthouse is more than welcome to have a women's night event for a particular movie, but if they refuse men at the door solely for their gender, that is illegal.

Not a true expert on the topic but from my reading it sounds like land is generally a carbon sink and water produces carbon so when you turn land into water, the net effect is additional carbon. Estimates have man-made reservoirs accounting for 0.5% of the total anthropogenic carbon emissions worldwide; fairly significant when we're considering the scale needed for energy storage with wind (blows 35% of the time, US avg.) and solar (shines 25% of the time, US avg.).

Moviepass’s biggest problem is they’re public. You can’t do unicorn economics as a public company.
Love my Chevy Bolt EV. I like that Chevrolet has adopted a lot of standards - J1772A/CCS Combo Charging, android auto and carplay in the infotainment system. Surround vision and rear view camera are amazing.

Model 3 is ok, but there are few things to consider about that Tesla.

- The lack of the free Tesla supercharging perk for m3. Without spending any additional money, that car is locked into only having support for Tesla's proprietary standard "out of box." There is no other hardware included with the car which make it compatible with other technologies. (CCS/Chademo)

- And that proprietary built in charge port requires a $500 Chademo adapter if you want to use a different network for fast charging. Even that standard is being replaced by SAE/CCS - No support at all by Tesla, but is the standard used by Volkswagens upcoming Electrify America EVSE Network.

- Are you a do it yourselfer? You won't be buying Tesla parts - they don't make them available to customers. Whatever their service charges - that's what you pay. I find the right to repair my own equipment is a must for something I'm spending over $30,000 on.

I don't wanna have to teach a lesson to anyone on how to open my car doors. Emergency exit handle is in a bad spot... Yep. Right where you expect it to be - In the face of a normal handle on any car! If someone in your car uses the emergency exit handle which is right on the door, the infotainment system present a warning message telling you not to do that again as the window trim can be damaged. Humans are going to always look for the handle on a car door...

Only one camera is actually useful - rear backup camera. But there are a lot more cameras for the autopilot feature. What's the point of having all these cameras if you can't do anything with them?

- Even $35,000 is a lot to spend on a vehicle that was assembled inside of a circus tent in Fremont.
Sounds like Sturgeon's law: Ninety percent of everything is crap.

Trees aren't stable enough, and they tend to drop branches or occasionally fall down entirely.
An example I can think of is Java's StringReader class. It implements the Reader interface, so it has to bear the "throws IOException" signature... but it's impossible for it to produce an I/O error, since it's not actually doing any I/O, just reading from a String.

That's fine if you're using it via the Reader interface, but if you're working with StringReader directly it's a pain in the butt to deal with the non-existent exceptions. It sounds like never-patterns would help with that.
Wow I've never seen parallax ads before.. I kinda like them, as long as they're in the minority so they're refreshing.
Because it applies to cases like "only WASP's need apply" and is clearly not what HUD is concerned with here.

Absolutely nobody is arguing that Facebook isn't liable in such a case because it's clearly spelled out in the letter of the law.
> Why is the T2 panic any worse than a normal panic? It's a bug, they happen.

They do happen. They shouldn't. No matter what subsystem causes the kernel panic I don't see why you would think they are acceptable. However, a problem with T2 is worse than other subsystems because...

> And before someone says that they're only needed for the Touch Bar, a) they chose to buy the Touch Bar version, and b) T2 and future chips will handle much more.

Exactly. T2 is supposed to work as a secure enclave, for instance (see https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208862). Any bug (especially one causing a kernel crash) related to the T2 chip is potentially a privilege escalation bug, with the potential to enable direct (after decryption) disk access outside of os access control, or the possibility to work around secure boot and boot non-signed kernels, or other problems.

The T2 chip is becoming a critical part of the security infrastructure for macs/mac os and any bug related to it should be taken very seriously.
I chose the one-time cost model for several reasons: 1) the way scientists get reimbursed from grants is difficult for recurring purchases, 2) one-time pricing is easy to do and fits well with desktop software, 3) Circa is a product scientists only use occasionally, maybe a few times a year, so with a monthly model they would probably just cancel and resubscribe when they need it, which is more of a hassle for both them and me. Circa does lend itself well to desktop software because it allows saving the visualizations they are building straight to their computer instead of me trying to manage user accounts and storage in the cloud -- again, less hassle on both sides!

On the topic of more expensive licensing for some customers, I forgot to mention that for commercial entities it costs $200, but that accounts only for something like 5% of sales, since it's mostly academics who want to make pretty plots for their publications.
Again, I don’t know the actual reason, just that it’s clearly legal.

Many people are very allergic to pets or scared of them and won’t live in a building/complex if there are animals there. If you’re a landlord and you allow pets you also have to deal with any possible damage they may do to your property, even though you can make the renter reimburse you for that.

It may be that because of those factors courts have determined that it’s perfectly reasonable for landlords to choose not to allow pets no matter what effect that may have on the number of people of different races who apply to their properties.
That’s not what anyone here saying and you know it.

Could you please explain how exactly Fair Housing Act makes Facebook filtering illegal?

Lack of advertising is not the same as "refuse to sell".
That's so for me as well. I've never been able to stand Twitter. There are too many idiots, and even seemingly sane folk all too often act like idiots. But then, I can't stand Reddit, either.

Anyway, I've been tempted to try Mastodon. But I don't like the idea of joining a particular instance, and being unable to change later, without more-or-less starting over. If I or my instance got blacklisted, how would I be better off than being banned from Twitter? In either case, I could come back with an new identity, with new credentials.

Not the answer you're looking for, but Reddit. Sure there are images and gifs, but the majority of the content is text. I'm not sure if there's a good way to see a text-only version (aside from turning off js) but if there is, it's a site I recommend.
Quick hack to find the right price for your software product
Again, this country-vs-country bullshit propaganda.

The web is already less open from the efforts of US companies developing massively centralised platforms like Google, Facebook, and so on, you're familiar with the story. And they look very eager to play into the Chinese government's rules for their own profit, whilst at the same time paying lip service to liberal principles and internet principles of openness.

At the same time there's plenty of Chinese investment into decentralised cryptocurrencies, probably more so than coming from US investment groups. Some large western companies are doing more blockchain research for sure, but the vast majority of them are only interested in those within the context of their own centralised, privatised, permissioned systems.

Enough of this China vs US crap, your narrative is simply wrong. If you give a shit about the open principles of the internet, talk about the actual projects in reality actually trying to preserve these principles, and stop narrating based on false political boundaries.

You can be dismissive of fan-death, but please know that the people who believe in it do so more out of national identity than reason.

National identity is great, I guess, but at some point, it becomes actively harmful not to call out stupidity when it presents itself so flagrantly.

If it takes social pressure to get people to stop believing absurd things, then so be it.
Could you define the 'cypherpunk vision of a sovereign Internet'? I am genuinely curious. Is it just a decentralized internet? I grew up watching anime like Serial Experiments Lain and reading Neuromancer so I think I have some idea of what you're talking about.
I was in China for a week at the Amazon office. It was very jarring not able to load google. Or YouTube. Or gmail. Or google maps. The list goes on and on. Facebook won’t load. Even many vpns are blocked.
If you love clouds, then you'll love New Zealand.

I did some flying down there, and not only do you see every type of cloud in a day, they change from one minute to the next.

IFR (I Follow Roads) navigation is still acceptable in NZ when the clouds come down to tree-top height and you're in a valley.

One of the most fantastic times of my life was flying a small airplane from North Island to South Island and back over the huge crater lakes. And lots of sheep!

The blog post you're referring to contains exactly the advice I just gave in the preceding comment.

I don't see a link to a Michigan study in this thread. If you post it again, I'll be happy to explain why it doesn't say that you should use /dev/random, or a userspace RNG.

How do you think Uber and Airbnb became legal?
"creative" used as a noun is perfectly standard inside the advertising industry.
I do happen to currently hold a data visualization job at a genomics software company, which traces back partly to when I gave a talk there that included Circa and other visualization tools I built, the rest of which are open source and free since I built them during my PhD :)
Many people don't care if it's meat or vegetables as long as it looks and tastes like meat to them. So the goal could be to reduce harm to the environment by reducing the amount of animals being farmed for meat. Not necessarily get rid of all animal farming just reduce it.

There is a lot of waste in the meat industry in the US and Canada. Many countries all over the world eat all the animal but in the US and Canada you never or rarely see people demanding a serving of offal, liver, kidneys, tongue, eyes, brain. If a hamburger could be made out of vegetables then I bet most people wouldn't care what it was made of.
San Francisco used to be one of the great American cities. It's a shame how the incompetent and dysfunctional city government has allowed it to decay into a literal shithole.

I'm really mystified as to why tech entrepreneurs seem so enamored of SF. Does being close to good restaurants compensate for all the negatives?
From a nutritional standpoint, I agree that it would be unfortunate if people replaced healthy foods in their diet with the impossible burger. But I think part of your position is predicated on the idea that real meat (specifically ground beef in this case) is healthier. I don't think it's clear yet whether or not that's the case.

Would you be willing to elaborate on the culture change point? Do you think that too few people are concerned about animal welfare to choose the impossible burger over ground beef even if it's competitive price-wise?
If this became a real thing, can the employees who operate the cranes be called "Sisypheceans?"
Sure, and he even reaches across the fourth wall to make fun of himself for it. At one point, Holmes points out that it's impossible to put actual detective work in a novel, and thus all crime novels are merely inspiration, at best, not education.

Never bitch about people who read and believe "The pope loves Trump" again if this story is news to you.

It's mass hysteria, end of story, week one, years ago.

Since I'm a little bored with this particular mass psychogenic illness story I'll segue -

How Mass Hysteria showed Shift Work gives you CANCER

Now, it's just my not well researched story so take it at will -

https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/queensland/another...

Basically at a news office cancer rates seemed to be quite high.

Being a news office it was located under a transmission tower (The boggy man aka the crickets in Cuba) and of course they got to publicize their own story.

So a report was commissioned.

The report was not made public at the time, so you must take it's findings and my recollection at face value, maybe it's online now....

Taking all the obvious factors into account, smoking rates, age, gender etc it was found the statistical cluster was still impossible within the general population. There was something giving people cancer.

Their finding, it was the fact many of the workers did shift work.

I find this interesting for two reasons

1. It's a nice little antidote about shift work giving you cancer. You hear about smoking and alcohol a lot, shift work not so much.

2. There seems like there's an interesting statistical phenomena going on. Cancer from shift work was just background noise and so was not being reported on. We suspect it happens but people don't often talk about it. A statistical cluster allowed a possible pattern to come out.

The hysteria is, it seems they were just getting cancer at normal rates for shift workers, nothing strange was going on yet they moved buildings etc which if anything hid the real issue under a rug, kinda like how the State Department is not looking after it's overseas workers very well.
I know this is a stupid thing to get upset about, but it annoys me SO MUCH that they refer to it as something that 'bleeds'. Real burgers don't bleed! Nor do steaks, or any other cut of beef you might purchase at the grocery. The red, translucent juices that come out of a burger or steak are red for the same reason the meat itself is red: myoglobin. Not blood.
In the US, many online services -- streaming audio/video, e-books, subscription research databases -- are only available to the public via local libraries or universities.

As a library technologist, my guess is that it's just easier for these services to sell 1,000 institutional licenses instead of 30 million retail accounts.
I find after a day of just doing coding in an open office environment, I can barely speak to anyone because its so draining.
How does Amazon actually operate their China office? Don't they have a site-to-site VPN back to the main corporate network for secure internal communications?
Not exactly the analysis of China's enormously diverse and energetic tech landscape we deserve. In fact, sites like Technode, and even recent podcasts from A16Z and HN have provided much more rigor. We simply need better reporting on this essential beat: what Emily Chang and Bloomberg Tech provide for Silicon Valley, but covering the Chinese mainland and HK.

Actual subtext of article at hand seems to be that the antagonistic strategy by current US administration will lead not only to inevitable dominance of AI technologies with a distinctly totalitarian flavor. But also perverse side effects.

They may be imagining something like an Alibaba Cloud data center running in Northern Virginia. It may include Party-inspired features such as "content moderation" or "user prediction". Features far stricter than anything AWS or GCloud would be willing or able to provide at similar price. US enterprises (and government entities) themselves will be so tempted to implement these strictures, the coming authoritarian dystopia is all but ensured.

The narrative clearly does not have to unfold this way. US and Chinese entrepreneurs can and will forge amazing partnerships. On a recent web app I noticed about 50% of posts in Chinese. And very much look forward to localizing for the entire region.
I was completely unaware that Acer made ThinkPads, and that blows my mind. A quick google was not able to confirm that, which is not unexpected since that sort of rebranding is usually hushed. Do you have a source? Not saying you need one, but wondering if you already have one. Would be interested to read more. I've had a really bad opinion of Acers since buying one a decade ago, and currently have a high opinion of Thinkpads (and am typing on a 2018 model right now).

Because you have provided no reason that it is reasonable to extrapolate the trend from a 50% to 40% carb diet to 5% carb diet.

I don't view anyone as monsters but my guess is that the difference is behavior of government vs. behavior of citizens.

The US.gov doesn't care if Random Chinese Citizen torrents something. They care if Chinese Company is bootlegging on a scale sufficient to annoy US Company, and China.gov won't do anything about it.

For the record, the US.gov does often care -- or used to care -- if US Company is bootlegging on a massive scale too. And they even used to crack down on Random US Citizens bootlegging!
This emphasis on GPS is the strangest part to me. True GPS coordinates are not directly available, AFAIK, in most circumstances pertaining to mturk. Services might use IP address and other data to make a guess. Maybe those with more experience with geolocation can chime in.

You are just guessing, right?

I’m aware of Apple’s geocoding service. It uses an encrypted connection, so the server traffic is not ‘logged by your carrier’, and they use transient identifiers so your location is not ‘logged by Apple’ and can’t be ‘requested by law enforcement if needed’.

Carriers are a different matter, but don’t make stuff up about Apple.
