Quality is in the eye of the beholder. Not everyone is looking for reasoned discourse, some really do want to see cat vids. And then there are plenty of good posts here that get passed by, or downvoted because of disagreement, and bad/misinformative posts that get upvoted. Social media popularity is to varying degrees a crapshoot.

I just don't see what Facebook should do here besides officially declare their platform Chatbook. And even if they did, how that would "help". Have you seen some chatrooms? Especially lightly moderated ones? Holy shit man.

Isn't the sufficiently determined government with the ability to compromise an organization's computers almost as much of a threat to carry out 51% attacks on its private blockchain as to successfully target distributed copies of database checkpoints?

(In practice, I think the Myanmar government's strategy would simply be to disregard the database rather than to attack it anyway, on the basis the local prejudice against the Rohingya isn't based around their numbers or individual identities but the claim that they are actually Bangladeshi illegal immigrants lying about Myanmar ancestry and land)
I’m not an international law expert but I suspect you are not one either.

The truth is that the only real way to crawl out of this situation is by improving the economic standards of the Palestinians and like it or not that will not happen without cooperation with Israel including building shared industrial zones like those that were prospering before their Libyan overlord Arafat decided that enough was enough and started a mess that has been going on for 2 decades.

Before the 2nd Intifada the Palestinian economy was one of the fastest growing in the world what is it today?

How about the fact that TV news was all-Trump-all-the-time from about July 2015 on through the election? Trump voters are old and unsophisticated (on average; of course there are exceptions); they take their instructions from TV not online sources. No one could have afforded the marketing that "TV journalists" gave Trump for free. They broadcast an empty lectern whenever he took longer than expected in the restroom. Meanwhile all other Republicans, all third party candidates, and Sanders got no coverage. (You might remember a lot of the Sanders campaign, but that was grassroots crowd-driven stuff, not the networks deciding to cover Sanders.) Some reckon it was a sort of pied-piper strategy to ensure Hillary got her weakest possible opponent. I can't believe that even Democrats are that dumb: Trump was uniquely qualified to run against her. Why would she have been afraid to face Jeb or Ted? Did she really think that all that TV coverage was somehow unrelated to the election?

The conspiracy theories ignore the main reason that TV news covers Trump all the time: he improves ratings and profits. Millions of morons invited him into their homes when he had that awful reality show, and now they can't get enough of him. He has carefully cultivated the same persona as president and that's just fascinating to people. Those fascinated people are watching a lot of TV news even now. The only candidate who could counter this strength would be someone with her own reality show. One might wonder, given that the TV news organizations continue to make bank with Trump ad nauseum, why we'd expect the results to be any different the next time Trump runs...

Interactive computational neuroscience – part 2, synapses & hebbian learning
I've always had sort of low key intermittent anxiety, but when my dad almost died from acute pancreatitis, I became hyperaware of anything unusual going on with my body -- and turning 40, there's a lot that's new going on. I made repeated visits to the doctor over the course of a few years, convinced I was dying of one thing or another. Realizing one day that almost all of the various symptoms I had were symptoms of anxiety, it was like a weight lifted off of me.

I've got it more or less under control now. I've figured out when to notice when an anxiety attack is coming on, and just lay down and relax. And cutting down on caffeine helped a lot. Anything that's a stimulant triggers them for me. I now have like half a cup of coffee in the morning and nothing for the rest of the day.

Apparently you think there's not much to be gained from reading fiction. Maybe there's your problem.
Also: much faster compilation times and a parser combinator library (elm/parse) that for me is a game-changer. It makes live-rendering of LaTeX to HTML a reality. See https://medium.com/@jxxcarlson/elm-0-19-its-parser-and-minil...
Which is something that people complain about, but isn't enough of a motivator to get anyone to switch. Skype for Business fits the bill of a lean messaging platform with similar features but it's just terrible. Mattermost is pretty cool but it's self-hosted which makes it a non-starter in shops that don't have IT staff. And all the other competing products are basically just Slack clones with less features.

So Slack is going to continue eating all your resources, because anyone who cares will switch to a leaner Slack client before they switch away from Slack.
From the outside, it can seem as if Elliott is causing the drama, but the firm argues that it simply identifies preëxisting problems and acts as a check on the system.

It's safe to ignore this. Their only goal, I assure you, is to beat their benchmarks and maximize their fee income.

Oh, there's still ethnic violence on a large scale in South Sudan. It's between different groups inside the new country.

Phantom Thread – Why Finding Love, Requires Letting Go
At this point, get whatever experience you can to determine what you would like, and frankly, the contacts you make will be as helpful as the experience. It's an internship, you have time, and at a small enough future employer, you may have to cover multiple roles.

Yes, software pays more now, and data science (let alone data engineering) is still maturing and figuring itself out, especially at junior levels. Your current background will help with data science, but doing software for an internship won't hurt you in the future if you want to do data science.

Having a programming background helps with data work, some of which is programming directly and indirectly to talk to data engineers/software engineers, and vice versa, a math and data background is super helpful in attacking software problems in many areas.

If you feel like picking the wrong thing now at a young age will scar you forever, you're doing it wrong. In this whole industry, things change constantly, and you will have to reinvent yourself and learn with it. If you don't like it, you can always switch specialties, or even generalize a little more broadly.

Reference: I've been in IT for the better part of 20 years, much of that as a web development generalist, and now I'm doing data engineering. ~75% of the skills overlap.
this is exactly what I had in mind when writing my comment. I'm on keto and I've fallen off numerous times in the past because it takes serious effort to maintain. The solution my wife and I have opted for is meal prep (cooking meals in batches) and buying in keto snacks in advance. If I find myself caught short and need to nip to the shops for food on the go, I'm usually restricted to one of 5-6 items in a moderately-sized shop. Even supermarkets might only contain 10 things I can have in the entire place. The dominance of carbs and sugar is truly mind-blowing.

If healthy diets were the default easy option and you had to go out of your way to get access to processed sugary foods, I suspect we'd see a drastically lower obesity rate.
Facebook and Instagram make money and have lots of data.

I thought the $100bn valuation for them was low and turns out that was right because they had acquired all this data for free. Data which at the time no one valued (and even today don’t value enough) but was worth a lot.

Slack has lots of data, but if they try to monetize it, I suspect they will lose a lot of their users (the data they have is what people would consider private, while the whole point of the data shared on Facebook/instagram is to make it public). And I suspect their avenues for making money are closing out. O365 users get Teams for free, and it’s only a matter of time before Google includes something equivalent in Google Apps for Work.

I suspect Slack’s best bets for justifying their valuation is hoping Google buys them out or includes Slack in a Apps for Work tier, or if they’re really lucky, Amazon decides they truly want to make a play for the enterprise communications market and buy Slack as the centerpiece for that.
> 2. Don’t worry about the product quality, just make sure it has chat and that the chat is incompatible with the 200 other chat apps out there.

You are fooling yourself here. For all the snarky hate Slack gets around here, it's far better designed than any chat app I've had to use so far. It's for work, it doesn't have to be compatible with other chat apps (in fact, that would be a security issue). Searching through your history Just Works, integrations Just Work, and user-friendly features like reactions make it more fun to use (and prevent cluttering up chats with unnecessary chatter). The fact that Slack was able to destroy its established competitors should give you a hint that they're doing something right. People like using slack. My friends have made their own workspaces with it just to keep in touch, because it's so well designed.
They should, but the reducing energy intake takes the least amount of effort by far when it comes to losing weight.

You don't even have to eat "right", just eating less would be enough. For example I still love my pizzas and hamburgers, but I eat smaller portions so the amount of kcals I consume is in line with what I need.

The forms of democracy that are in place in most of our African countries is legally very one-sided. In other words, the president and his immediate circle usually have near unilateral sway of the allocation (or creation in the case of something like currency) of state resources.

Thus, if the leader is corrupt (and few aren't, given that much control) then the corruption becomes much more apparent and influential at all levels of government. Compare this to, say, most Western countries which have a tradition of strong checks and balances in place to prevent this level of unilateral control, right down to the citizenry (consider any recent HN article on the term extension of Xi Jinping and the related comments).
I wonder what the score would be if Facebook users were to rate its trustworthiness on a scale from zero to one.

avh4 has a tool called `elm-upgrade`[0] that gets you 80% of the way there. It worked fine for 0.17 -> 0.18 for me and helped me upgrade some libraries for 0.18 -> 0.19. The dev branches worked during the 0.19 alpha phase, so I'm sure it will be released shortly.

ORDER BY RAND() – Faster Alternative
Came here to say this. Mattermost runs really well on a small-ish box, self-contained, has never gone down, and we've been able to grow organically to hundreds of unique users a day all inside the firewall. Pretty much a no-brainer for me.
If there is a "secret war," it's to undermine the corruption of the process. The contract is written, as most preferred vendor contracts are, in such a way that at most AWS would have 1-2 competitors which would still not meet the full spec...so AWS (the preferred provider) wins before bidding even begins.

Government does this all the time, it's a form of "capture" within the system.

Unfortunately Trump has given Bezos cover on a lot of things, simply by criticizing him. Because now if AWS loses the contract people will say Trump intervened or effected the bidding process. Amazon is growing in ways that other companies aren't, and it is unfortunately heavily subsidized by tax dollars, or deferred tax dollars.

Example: A recent piece about Amazon negotiating electricity rates, which in the end stiff locals with the brunt of the bill...then there's their corporate welfare rent seeking of HQ2...then there's this contract. They skirt taxes more than average. They treat their floor employees far far worse than Walmart or McDonald's.

It's beginning to get a bit ridiculous. If conspiracy theorists want to say Trump is behind the backlash (or a rogue corporation like Oracle,) go for it, but that's not the (full) truth. That's just a cover now, since anything (rightfully in many cases) connected with Trump's criticisms are tainted. Don't fall into that trap, Amazon is beginning to become a troublesome company. I don't know what to do about it, but rewarding them government contracts that are, in the end, rigged to be "no bid" isn't helping. Then on top of that, buying the Amazon line of not using multi-vendor fail overs is baffling. This may be a 10 year contract, but it's built to vendor lock the government.
"Integrations serve as a moat."

The depth of those integrations serve as the depth of the moat. If your integration is basically "I send and receive textual messages", which from what I see the vast majority are, you've got an integration which could be ported to a competitor in less than a week. A lot of the integration work is in the thing being integrated rather than chat-system specific things.

As you use more Slack-specific features the moat gets deeper, but you do have to stretch a bit before you're really "slack-specific". Rich text formatting, conference rooms at a basic level, etc. isn't "slack-specific".

(Be sure to read that first sentence of mine a couple of times before replying. It does not say "integrations are always trivial to port and are thus irrelevant", for instance. If I wanted to say that, I would have.)

"Atlassian throwing in the towel on HipChat and Stride."

I strongly suspect that Atlassian threw in the towel not because it was hopeless, but because a highly profitable company has a business imperative to avoid things that will merely be sorta profitable to them, or where profit will be harder than their other highly profitable activities. It's why Google doesn't simply do everything; put over-simply, for something to be worth Google doing, it has to be more profitable than putting another engineer on AdWords. When a company is valued at $7.1B, it validates the market, and even if there was no competition today, there most assuredly will be in two years!

(I work for a company not quite as high as Google in the "necessary profit per engineer" metric, but we've also divested "merely" profitable businesses because they were basically a drag on the rest of the company, and lacked sufficient strategic value to overcome that disadvantage.)
This is a very one sided viewpoint. If we are going to attempt to understand why the current state of matters exists in the way it does, we need to include much broader context.

For example, whenever someone brings up Ukraine, when is the last time they also provided the historical context just prior to the Russian escalation?

I'd say that in order to stay with a book, it needs a hook that the reader can grab on to. But readers have different tastes, so while you might enjoy slow moving brooding works (just guessing), someone else enjoys some fast paced, packed, dense writing. But in either case, if the book fails to meet expectations, chances are that you'll put it aside before you finish.
You misunderstand the argument. You think the argument is about the justness or unjustness of killed/wounded innocent bystanders, and other collateral damage. Rightly you argue that the US behaves far better than any of it's enemies, or for that matter allies.

When compared to Venezuela, China, Russia and the other states these people keep defending, one might rightfully point out that the US not only behaves better but it's ridiculous to claim any comparison : clearly the US is morally superior to these guys. There can be no real argument about that. And about terrorists or Palestina, well, those states don't even claim their victims have anything to do with their "war", so if they have 95% collateral damage and innocents killed, they probably consider that a mistake.

In reality the point of complaining about America's use of force is a political point meant to change the politics of the US, change the balance of social power within the US.

Therefore arguments about what does and does not happen, or what is and isn't just given people's various positions ... are beside the point.
It depends on the company.

I am 47, very senior "management" position in a large company. I manage a whooping team of three. By choice.

What I am not comfortable with in your comment is the manager = leader (implied in the last sentence). I hate to manage people (to plan their work, to do the logistics of their life at the office etc.). On the other hand I live to be the one pushing for a solution, bringing others in, pushing my obviously brilliant point of view, retro-pedalling when it is not the right one finally and again bring in people with this new solution.

I put a lot of enthusiasm and energy into it and I am very happy.

I think the qualities of a manager and a leader are different, some people can be both but also only one of them.

I managed from 1 to 350 peple, the latter was horrible.

Cold War was supposed to be over in 1991?

The Russian invasion of Ukraine should be counted as a success for Russia, rather than a failure; they wanted a buffer zone and have got it. They're operating under the logic that every inch they destroy is an inch the "West" has lost, the same logic that led to Napoleon's defeat.

Same goes for Syria. The goal is to keep the fire burning and refugees fleeing, to prevent the Middle East from stablising in a West-friendly state. Keeping Assad in power is beneficial but not critical to the overall pro-chaos project.
