But Facebook is not a worldwide communication channel. It's a social network/community owned by a single company and its shareholders. Internet is the worldwide communication channel. You can "filter" it and make sure it aligns with your own standards by simply choosing to visit and use websites, communities and services which do align with your standards, and by avoiding those which don't align.
How is this a clear line? When you're schizophrenic and living on the street in box, but not suicidal or attacking other people, you're not a 'danger' to anyone. Yet that's the case of the OP.
I used to work under this bridge. Everybody knew that the bridge was unsafe. However, the local government didn't want to close the bridge because it was critical for the community. Some activists didn't want to close it because they didn't want to build a replacement. So disasters happen, shit always happens. But this was not a disaster, something unknown, this is manslaughter from my point of view. I wish somebody pays for it, but this won't happen.

>Why would Facebook have any content moderation obligations towards any government?

This argument, if applied strictly, would allow any government to meddle in the affairs (say, influencing elections) of any other government simply by establishing ostensibly private companies that'd perform to their wishes, whether overtly or secretly. That being anti-democratic, there's clear need for limiting actions of private companies.

While I am against compelling speech, I do not consider Facebook a newspaper publishing its own editorial content, but rather a platform for publishing third-party content. In fact, posts on Facebook are clearly attributed to the author, which, with minor exceptions, is not Facebook itself. On the other hand, official communications of Facebook are marked as such and clearly delineated from users' posts. Thus preventing Facebook from deleting posts (i.e., forcing them to let posts remain) would amount to preventing them from performing (the seemingly arbitrary and capricious) censorship, rater than compelling them to speak.

For me the line is clear - illegal content must be removed, legal content must be left undisturbed, and if Facebook considers law of some country to run counter to their conscience, do not operate in that market.
> The nation was based on the notion that property ownership gives individuals a stake in the system. It set Americans apart from feudal peasants, taught us how property rights and incentives operate, and was a kind of training for future entrepreneurship.

Then rents went up, education became more expensive, wages went stagnant, the rich got richer, and suddenly owning property and buying "stuff" to fuel the insatiable furnace of capitalism doesn't seem like such a great life goal. If that means we're not participating in "the system", well... maybe it's time to change the system.

Also, I think it strange the author questions what the death of property ownership means for capitalism, and then cites various examples of capitalism in action that are working to corrode property ownership -- e.g. Apple, Amazon, etc. The rise of subscription services over shrink wrapped software or hardware to which you own the rights arose directly from capitalism.
I wonder if they had insurance against the bridge falling?
IMO assisted outpatient treatment should be enabled and encouraged under the right conditions. Of course, it has to be carefully weighed such that you don't do this in cases where it would make things worse or unwarranted. That would likely mean that you'd need a history of "leave hospital -> refuses to take pills -> back into hospital".

The article seems to agree on that though some in this thread seem to conflate this with "do X first time -> get put into asylum/hospital against your will", I don't think anyone honestly wants that.
Excited for Randall. Good on FB.

congrats to you and the team
I don't like the "don't get unlucky" part. It would really suck if I indeed got unlucky around the age of 60 or 70, and then had to support myself working as a janitor till I die. In other words, I tend to be risk-awerse.
Why Use an FPGA Instead of a CPU or GPU?
I really hope this leads to databases with good support for fast nearest neighbour search. This would be especially useful in word2vec cases, where you have millions of word vectors, and want to find "words similar to this one" without either having all of them in memory, or going through all of them to find out.
There's too much negative focus on why work is bad here to recognise that it's both give and take. It's not just that work no longer excites, it's that you want to do other things.

I'm 33. I have a 2 year old who demands time. I have a dog that I would like to spend time with. I have a shotgun and enjoy target shooting and wish I had more time to enjoy. I have couple of bikes and wish I had more time to ride them. I picked up woodworking just before my 2yo arrived and I wish I had more time to learn more.

Every year I pick up another something I want more time to do but therefore every year I have to spread that time a little thinner. Time I have to spend working is the obvious target to blame.

I'm certainly not saying that every work environment is great, or that some people get the work/life/expenses balance catastrophically wrong, but you can improve your experience of work by making sure you're still learning, expanding and don't fall into the typical ruts.

Similarly if work is all you have, you've got nothing to work for. Find a balance.
The other piece to this is that humans are actually pretty bad at self-analysis. Self-reflection is important, but it needs to be coupled with honest discussions with other people to get something approximating an accurate picture.
It really is. Fascists like yourself are on the rise everywhere in Europe.

Hungary is a sovereign country. Why would a government have any obligations towards any medium, to allow it to operate within the country?
Esp. when said medium has an agenda to influence public opinion? (In this case, by taking down videos expressing the opinion of the democratically elected government, and by only allowing videos criticising the opinion of the majority of the citizens).
Governments can decide what content they allow in the country. Or is it the case that Facebook's community standards should for some reason be universally accepted?
It was absolutely the draw, but I can't say I figured them to be brilliant
I don’t speak Hungarians and so I have no idea why this video would be offensive. Can you try to explain?
I'd wager most people switch jobs more often than they change license plate numbers.
There are a lot of pianists with back problems.
Agree with #3, I built a similar tool with Rails/Elastic search/React couple of years back. It never returned the most relevant results on top. Realized Elastic search can only do that if I could add back-links for ranking and for adding back-links (I could be wrong) I would have to crawl the entire internet.
Here's a few pointers on big data:

* You obviously need more than one machine to do computation. Things become more difficult as you go from one machine to many, so learn about parallel programming tactics like MapReduce[1] and Flume[2].

* Storing stuff is also much more difficult. You'll either be working with distributed filesystems like GFS [3] or Colossus [4], NoSQL databases like bigtable [5], or SQL-like databases like Spanner [6] and F1 [7]

* Algorithms are tricky, because things that take no time at all on a single machine get to be very difficult when done on multiple machines. I don't actually know of any resources on this one, but if you know the algorithms and learn distribution tactics like I outlined above, it should make more and more sense with practice.

* Finally, you need to know your operating systems and networks. What operations are cheap (RAM access, local disk access, most local computation, same-cluster network operations, streaming remote disk access) and what operations are expensive (longer network hops, random-access remote disk operations). You also should be able to ballpark (to an order of magnitude) things like latencies of operations, dataset sizes, QPS's per machine, etc.

Also, when reading the papers, pay more attention to the interface than the implementation. One of the hardest things is transitioning from being spoiled by the local OS interface, where everything is cheap, to the distributed world, where seemingly random things are expensive or impossible.

I was using dep but recently switched back to Glide since dep's future is uncertain.
I recently went to a workshop demo for working with clay by a potter who'd been working his craft for 40 years. He was spinning the wheel and someone said it looked fun and asked if he still enjoyed it after all those years.

He told us he's gone through several waves of enjoying and disliking throwing pots. He started off enjoying it. Then he stopped enjoying it for many years and just did it because it was his livelihood and the best way to support himself. Then one day, he had no idea why, while he was throwing a pot he had a moment where he noticed his hands and started enjoying it again for many years. He told us this has happened to him a few times and that he currently enjoys throwing pots.
I agree.

And in muslim countries, if someone posts LGBT or atheist positive posts, they should immediately be moderated and the poster reported to authorities.

Facebook should also prevent users from these countries seeing such content posted from more liberal places.

Yes and definitely no. RT rendering (or close to it, well more like RT rendering techniques) are making it into production. Not as much as film, but TV definitely and it's only a matter of time when two worlds converge. ZAFARI is a recent example - https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/blog/animated-children-s-...

Two words: legal guardianship.

We already have constructs in society for people that do not have the ability to care for themselves (temporarily or permanently). I would not be in favor of any law that tries to deliver care through the judicial system. Instead, I would much rather support a law that allows people close to the patient (like the mother in this story) to be officially designated as health proxy, so they can force treatment if the patient is unwilling/unable.

Only in cases where no such guardian is available (or is willing -- it is not an easy burden I presume) would I want the state to get involved, and even then much rather a health official than a judge.
In the case of all three, it's a condition people can enter into nominally through their own choice. Sex slavery, for example, often starts with women taking misleading distant jobs. And a lot of what was effectively slavery has been justified through a gloss of choice: http://www.pbs.org/tpt/slavery-by-another-name/home/
Sorry for your loss, and hope you have friends / family for support.

But, in terms of "why bother doing anything" - well, that is a big bag of worms, which really none of us should entertain as a thought.
In reality, in 100 years just about every single one of all of our best projects / art / websites will be long gone.

And that is ok - we cant have art galleries with 10^12 paintings to view, but I think the point of life is for us as individuals to do what we love, teach and help others and just enjoy it.

So finish the projects you want to do, for the satisfaction of doing it. And if you want, start a twitter account / blog and talk about it there. Chances are someone will get something from it.

That's what the internet is all about - lots of hidden gems and views into what other people do with their lives.
I know that's an international standards, and in general it's safe and nothing to worry about, but I hate the fact that we build houses under bridges or bridges above houses. Even probable things like a drunk throwing glass bottle to my garden from moving train scare shit out of me.
That's actually a really cool tradition imo. Never heard about it until now.

Thanks for that!

It's a power relationship all the way down: companies use their power to fuck employees as much as they can,some succeeding ,sometimes not, while competition does the same for companies.

And the end goal? Some shareholders more happy than others, and some random economic statistic, that's not really related to quality of life.

It may be better for the environment to not own stuff, but instead use services.

For example, take a fridge. If I buy a fridge, the company I buy it from has an incentive to make it break in N years, so they can sell me a new one, i.e. "planned obsolescence".

However, if I subscribe to a service to keep my food and beverages at a certain temperature, then the company has the incentive to make the fridge last as long as possible.

EDIT: Besides eliminating planned obsolescence, there are more advantages:

- Increased market transparency. The market is more transparent if I know exactly what a service costs me per month, as opposed to buying a product and not knowing when it will fail. A more transparent market leads to better competition.

- Another advantage is that the whole life-cycle of the product, including recycling it, becomes a natural responsibility of the company.
I kinda agree but think that you are overselling the signal generated. We have internal data that we can't discuss here that throws some doubt on the signal from whiteboard interviews of the type described above.
I'm very skeptical about drawing a line from "not sharing license plate numbers tied to address of offense when it comes to traffic fines" to "secretly prosecute".

This I don't care about really.

Although I remember Richard Stallman wrote a satirical article about there being no libraries and having to pay to read anything (as in pay to read per page or something kind of ridiculous) now his article doesn't feel so ridiculous anymore.

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/right-to-read.en.html

The SCARY thing, the thing that he doesn't really predict is that nobody will own anything and nobody will be allowed to read anything but also nobody will care about it either. They'll all be too busy with their bread and circuses and the 2 minutes hate or whatever.
> The whole concept of "community standards" for a worldwide communication channel strikes me as newspeak for centralized moral policing.

Moral policing? This article is about the opposite-- Facebook telling its "moral police" not to moderate posts from pro-government posters.

The article also features a claim that someone at Facebook guided pro-government posters in the government to use dog whistles to get around their filters. Hence changing "muslims" to "migrants."

Not much evidence is given for the claim, but it's there.
To help change the system, we could build The Machine:
http://tlalexander.com/machine/
Firms exist to make money, ie get more value out of your labor than they pay you for.
"When asked, Facebook officials told us only immutable characteristics and traits that people are born with warrant special protection. Being a migrant is not such a trait, therefore freedom of speech takes priority."

What about forced displacement? There are 10s of milions of forcibly displaced people around the world. It's not a small group compared to some other mentioned protected groups.

If the basic idea is that you can't attack people for things they didn't choose, this would match too.

Anyway why it's ok to attack someone for something he chose and not ok for something he didn't choose? Choice is often based on intellect and education, and many people don't really choose that either, even if you accept the basic premise of choice being the main differentiator.

I wouldn't call Tcl "innately async" like, for example, Erlang.

Tcl is a command-based, imperative language. Tcl has threads.

They work mostly like you'd expect: shared variables, mutexes, condition variables.

Threads can send script code to another thread using thread::send -async and thread::broadcast:

https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl/ThreadCmd/thread.htm#M17

Tcl does let you write DSL-like libraries, and because you can easily hotswap code (being homoiconic like Lisp), it also works well for distributing your execution environment across several network nodes.

But the language itself isn't "innately async". The thread model isn't based on message passing, CSP, Pi calculus, or any other strong idea. I always thought of it as "string-focused Lisp".

As someone who has given away a couple thousand dollars worth of crappy music from the 80s and 90s, I can say for certain that I am glad I don't own it anymore.

A Spotify subscription that allows me to listen to practically any song that was ever recorded is of far more utility than a pathetically limited personal music collection.
Personally, I'd rather not operate in a country than face arbitrary censorship requests, but then, I don't run a billion dollar business (and even countries like EU and US have some fairly "arbitrary" censorship requests).
Tcl has built-in event loop functionality. You can put watches on file channels, network sockets or synthetic scripted channels, start the event loop, and have a completely event-driven program.

Writing a simple web server, for example, is trivial.

Tk accesses the C-based event API to turn things like button clicks into events. Python (and Ruby?) ships with Tcl in order to make use of Tk.

There's a thread extension that makes it easy to spawn separate threads which can inject events into the event loop, making hybrid event/thread programming simple.

I fear he would have a lot in common with the far-right, populist parties in present day Europe though. In the same paragraph that contains your quote, you also find this:
