I was on a train (in the UK) a few weeks ago. It was crowded, to the point of standing room only, maybe a hundred people in a few carriages I didn't count - and two people brought their bikes. One didn't fit in the bike space because of a high child carrier on it, a space which took up half a carriage couldn't take two bikes. And they took a lot longer to load and unload than the people took to step on and off, and everyone had to make room for them to unload, wait for them.

There's no way it would have worked if even 10-20% of the people had brought bikes, let alone everyone.

I Googled Copenhagen Bike Parking, and this was one of the top results: http://jtwonggg.com/2017/11/06/photo-diary-copenhagen-street... - those bike parks are not meshing nicely with a human world, they're big areas of nothing of any interest to living walking humans except for the individual bike owner, space taken up by matter storage that you have to walk further to get past, they're ugly, they're a greedy use of public space for "my personal transport", and that size of parking almost has to be replicated all over the place. Even if bike parks were underground, that's still prime city usable space which could be put to use by things of interest to more people.

The picture with the outdoors clothes racks and Zara shop - lots of pedestrians. Imagine a cyclist trying to go fast down that street - they can't, there's too many people. This either means the pedestrians have to dive out of the way (maybe urged by a demand of a ringing bell) or that the cyclist has to go at walking speed - and in that case may as well be walking. And if there was a rush hour of cyclists, that street would become a much less pleasant place for people to walk.

Bikes let you go further - ten miles is a fairly short bike trip but a long walk - but they do it by letting you go faster. You can't go faster in dense pedestrian traffic unless you prioritise the bike and make the pedestrians second class who have to watch out and make way, and that - each bike taking precedent over dozens of pedestrians - seems the wrong kind of tradeoff.

but then, Copenhagen appears to be a city with car-streets, and in that situation, preferring a bike over a car in a place spread out for cars, is possibly the best compromise you're going to get.
... or rather, doesn't take up, resulting in software with tons of broken behaviour (including vulnerabilities) because the developers don't really understand what they are working with sufficiently.
I'm at 11 kids now.

The struggle and burden is real, though most people wrongly assume that it is a linear function of the number of kids. It isn't so bad. The first one upturns your life. The second and third are much less trouble. After that, the only thing you notice is when you outgrow a vehicle. I'm at a 15-passenger van now, which is hard to outgrow before the oldest kids learn to drive.

Once you have a couple kids, you might as well have a dozen.

By "unattractive moms" do you refer to flabby bellies? Yeah, that happens... but then again, to some extent it happens anyway, and we all end up looking awful in the end. If you meant presentation (makeup, hair style, high heels...) then I don't know what to say because I purposely picked a woman with a plain all-natural style.
I read $SOMEWHERE that most sea level rise is/will be due to thermal expansion of water, not melting ice.
I had the same issue with Facebook. I could not write by birth first name (in a language other than English).
It was considered "offensive" by the filters in that specific language.

I ended up including some non-printable unicode characters in my first name, and after a few tries, it worked :). At least my name is now shown properly, even though the bits are not correct.
I'm okay with killing companies if they're not providing a living wage. This is the polite method (public shaming) to affect change.

> So, shame the government who is not implementing proper regulation -- not the company.

Unfortunately, shaming the government isn't enough.

I think it's interesting that the article mentions that they "haven't solved the Scunthorpe problem". I always thought of the Scunthorpe problem less as something to be solved and more as a cautionary tale about the folly of attempting to implement censorship software.

It's like the DRM problem. It's incredibly difficult if not impossible, and the goal itself is dubious.
Considering this apparently uses Google images, it would probably be improved if you add "_ color" to the end of every search.

> the extension injects code into their site.

But it doesn't inject code into their site, right? The HTTP request is made to the server all the same, nothing modified via the browser, it's all code additive/correction in the extension?
> I don’t think we should be able to redefine things that would be outside any reasonable expectation.

Like... 'Unlimited Internet' but with limits. Lots of limits actually. If you really want to get crazy.. dive into the rabbit hole of U.S. Legislation/Bill naming.
My point is you're not killing the company. These companies are alive and well.

You are, however, attempting to shame/villify them into change. That's just not going to work.

It will require a regulatory intervention to change their behavior.
I'm not sure I'd say it injects code in to 'their site', as slacks site never sees the code.

It injects code into the dom model of the users browser.

See my sibling comment where they shamed Disney into paying $15/hour. This action is required until enough representatives are elected to office who can fix public policy.

Every hour that goes by where these workers don't have their wages raised is thousands of hours they weren't paid a living wage. At the same time, each dollar these workers need in government support is a dollar out of taxpayer pockets and into Amazon's pocket.
This is, simultaneously:

* an all-too-realistic snapshot of corporate life

* a sobering commentary on the state of conference call norms and terribly interoperating related technologies

* if Bladerunner met Office Space

* a playbook on how to respond to various real-world conference call mishaps

* the funniest thing I've seen in some time
A system that is not understood in its entirety, or at least to a significant degree of detail by a single individual, should probably not be built.
I've written maybe 100,000 words to Day One over the last several years.

It has a ton of functionality that I don't use, but it's reliable, has effective syncing across devices, and a clean export process. There may or may not be better, but I'm very happy with it.
I read that as "Get Even Bot." Which would be a cool slack bot service as well...
I don't know how GDPR handles backups and what time tables are allowed for reasonable data retrieval and expunging.

Encryption decreases the volume of data that needs to be most carefully protected from the entire data set down to the key (and backups of said key). I imagine that data on mediums that make data retrieval and writing expensive can be encrypted with compartmentalized keys. So when Jane Doe wants her data deleted, delete the keys.
> In your ideal world, how do we respond when someone says something racist? Do we ignore it? Do we try to teach them why they're wrong? Do we denounce them and call it a day? These are serious questions.

Well, there are two options:

If a lot of people seem to give credence to their ideas, then we absolutely have to debate those ideas in the public sphere, as overtly as possible, and because we happen to be right, we will prevail in an open debate.

If, as seems to be the case today, almost nobody gives credence to their ideas, then we just let them make fools of themselves, kind of like how no one minds David Icke's claims about how the British royal family are secretly reptilians from outer space.

> Additionally, the passive approaches don't mention that these groups are active and recruiting. They have plans and playbooks for radicalizing more members. I feel it is legitimate to worry that they will continue to galvanize and grow in power unless we stop them. But I am open to hearing alternative solutions to censorship, as long as they are more thought out and convincing.

I would actually question the notion that these groups are growing in size and influence. While it's hard to have a perfectly controlled experiment, here's an interesting data point. One of the most politically successful overt white supremacists, David Duke, has run for political office on numerous occasions, including two campaigns for a US Senate seat in Louisiana. Duke went from polling at 11.5% (141,489 votes) for a Louisiana US Senate election in 1996 to 3% (58,581 votes) for a Louisiana US Senate election in 2016.

This is not a very good analogy. You know your neighbors and have a complicated mutual relationship which provides safeguards against malicious or capricious behavior. Whereas the author of a chunk of open-source code is just one of 28 million randos with a GitHub account. A rando who you will now have to investigate carefully if you want to be reasonably confident he won't jerk the rug out from under you.

As far as I can tell, nobody assumed it was malicious, so maybe you can put that straw back in storage.
Open Source Project Revokes Access to Companies That Work with ICE
Processing 10GB of data is fundamentally different, in the sense that the data you want to process is going to be more complex - many 1kb files, or a pile of structured map data or weather data or something that you aren't going to want to write your own parser for - there are surely more common data formats now than there were decades ago.

Copying data to/from the internet isn't "fundamentally" different, it's normally different. Python requests module, Beautiful Soup, a good XML and JSON library will get you a lot further than plain VB code when working with internet things. It's not only scale which has changed, there's more kinds of things to do, and more existing popular large systems to tie into, and the desire to make use of more existing libraries to build on.

Yet another excuse, imagining that the user is some drooling {disinterested person} who never uses tools correctly

That pretty much is my experience of non-geeks using computers.

things must be as crap as they are because we have to cater to them. Linux desktop has been targeting this user for over a decade, where has it gotten them?

As I said, you claim VB is some pinnacle of computing which we've lost, but it's still there. You also claim that nothing has changed and nothing needs to be different, so I'm still at a loss how you can then say that there's nothing today like VB was for normal people. If VB exists and you think nothing is different .. what's wrong?
The basic problem is two very incompatible goals. You don't want to become part of an echo chamber[1], but at the same time you want to protect yourself from fools. The hope of every moderation system is to solve both. We've seen HN-style crowd control and folks on twitter using ban lists, and both have problems.

In a lot of ways, I think Advogato[2] was on to something with their web of trust. The line on wikipedia Despite the trust metric, posting privileges to the front page of Advogato have been gained by controversial individuals, leading some to claim Advogato's trust metric solution is faulty. seems like sour grapes. I still think its worthy of another couple of steps down that path.

Also, I think folks miss handling the joy of tangents cause a lot of problems in moderation that are really just a structure problem. Mostly they are marked as off-topic and down-voted which cuts down on some amazing streams of knowledge. I have yet to see a system that allows branching of something the poster knows will be off-topic but is a tangent of the main article. It seems like generated articles might be the way to go and leave a "tangent pointer" in the main article. I think solving the tangent problem would solve a lot of moderation problems and hard feelings of the users.

I really don't like some solutions, like shadow banning or making every comment by a user drop to the bottom of the sort right away with little hope of getting "above the fold" no matter how many upvotes the comment gets.

1) Although, quite a few people actually do want to be part of the majority with only the "acceptable" opposition represented. This pattern repeats so often, it makes me think its just baked into humanity's tribal thinking.

> In many of those companies where X are celebrated the most they aren't an issue. That's the irony of it all.

It's not ironic. It's causal. Discrimination against minorities is less of an issue in companies where minorities are explicitly and openly accepted. There's a causal relationship there.

> You don't need to focus on gay rights in Google, FB, etc they are non issues there

They might be for now, but the world outside is less accepting. So long as the world outside has a problem with minorities, companies need to be steadfast about ensuring that the animus outside doesn't survive inside. Think of it like a vaccine.

> So it's not really a solution to anything but rather just a way to do virtue signalling in companies.

Uhh, virtue signaling is still a great reason to be supportive of minorities?
Of course. The sea doesn't care how wide or tall the wall is. It will just go under it no problem. If the wall were put deep into the ground until it hit bedrock (a quick google search indicates the wall would have to go down at least 20,000 feet), then the water could not get through. But I imagine at that point it would be cheaper to move the entire city.

The Netherlands has a completely different geology, so plans for one place can't be compared with plans for the other.
I just got diagnosed with ADHD combined type. Looking back, my entire life was a total mess before starting treatment. Little to no concentration abilities make you lose focus on your surroundings so much that it can affect your ability to eat and sleep on a consistent basis (not to mention employability). You sort of just sit there mentally screaming at your body to get up and move. Or you mentally scream at your body to stop moving and sit down. Bottom line is that you have almost no control over your attention in every way. Your head is also in a constant fog because you aren't able to maintain focus on what's going on in front of you.

If you see yourself with constant attention issues even in an optimal environment, please see a doctor. ADHD and other associated conditions can ruin your life if left untreated.
I honestly can't understand why an employee would insist on anything other than straight cash. Stock options are a joke. I'll take the cash.
Yes there's a lot more that can go wrong with rebreathers. Open circuit is much more forgiving. As long as you can breathe you can stay alive. No single mistake will kill you and there are multiple opportunities to fix any problem. Whereas with a closed circuit rebreather there are failure modes which are essentially "silent" (or at least easy to overlook in a stressful situation) that can kill you quickly. Most rebreather deaths involve some sort of diver error, but I don't trust myself to be perfect every time.
Although in a bit of a haze by now, I have such fond memories of the MSN. In my early twenties, I had gotten a beta CD of Win95 from dad who ran an IT shop. I stumbled upon the MSN, which had an access point in Norway, and before I knew it I was on the Frog Pond chatting away with really cool people - probably quite a few from Microsoft. Can only remember one name of the group: Pam!

Win95 was also a giant step up from 3.1 and this being a year or two before I got on the Internet it was indeed very exciting stuff. I had left my Amiga a couple of years before, and finally the PC was getting similar level good! I somehow started receiving interim builds by FedEx as well, I must have been providing some feedback that was useful to them.

Back then, at my age, that felt like a huge deal, like I was really part of an insider group. :-)
So, just that I follow. Go guy claims historically never A.

I point to Pikes blog which clearly said A.

So given these two points I should implicitly discard evidence (in form of a blog entry by one of the Go creators) in favour of a statement that is clearly at odds with it? His connection to Pike or Go does not change the text on the blog, unless you disavow Pikes role in the creation of Go his distaste of generics and his clear classification of them as unnecessary remains a fact.

Hrm, approval from who? Seems like public "space"
This strikes me as perfectly fitting the natural instincts.

Initially, you have to prove yourself. You then succeed enough to find a mate and start a family. This reduces your tolerance for risk, as it should: your kids need you.

Once you no longer have small children, you will likely hit a midlife crisis. At this point you may be tempted to have an affair or buy a Ferrari. This is an instinctive reaction to the lack of small children -- you aren't reproducing successfully with your current mate.
Drones and stakeouts: how Tesla 'haters' put pressure on CEO Musk
I can tell you how unscientific the process of this study was:

A total of 1,026 participants took part in online
surveys where we assessed:

(i) for each feeling, the intensity of four
hypothesized basic dimensions

(ii) subjectively experienced similarity of the 100
feelings, and

(iii) topography of bodily sensations associated with
each feeling.

They mechanical turked some online surveys, and asked non-experts for this data, on the basis that it’s subjective data. Then they performed some canned statistical analysis du jour on it, so that the paper would have some catchy data visualizations, and filled for 1,000 words.

So, first and foremost, this is a free-association study, with all the rigor of a Freudian interpretation for responses to a Rorschach test.

But beyond that, why would anyone hold the opinion that this is science? Online surveys for 1,000 people, to gather opinions on the best way to associate words in English? That’s what this research accomplished.

And lastly, let’s imagine the potential applications for these results. How will they guide us to better predictions in the future? If I look at the information collected here, can I draw more accurate conclusions about the world, and improve practical decisions, now that I’ve been informed by these results?

No. No I can’t. This is the kind of analysis that simply trusts the respondant to complete an online survey in good faith. You can’t run the world like that. You can’t drop ten cents on a 30 minute multiple choice questionaire, and use that as your foundation for new insights.

They basically asked people to generate a tackling dummy data set for them by completing a survey, so that they could run a sort algorithm on it, and apply a graph to an Excel spreadsheet of answer counts. Except they did it in an academic setting, so that some how validates these results with defacto authority? Not in my world.
OP: since Slack is saying they own the execution environment running in your browser, send them a hosting bill for running their application in your computers. Multiply it times every user on your instance.

I was kinda disappointed when I realized when you search it seems to basically only do a simple image search (ala Google) and return the primary color of the individual images, as can be seen by hovering over the small icon in each color result.

I would not really call that machine learning, since it's basically an image search engine with a color filter.

Your caloric intake is dangerously low (assuming you're a dude). That's what's slowing down your metabolism. There's tons of research on this. Also, your goal should be to put on lean mass and reduce your bodyfat percentage (with a goal of keeping it under 15%) - it makes staying in good shape a lot easier.
> You did nothing wrong, you walked the path, like the rest of us.

Earlier in your comment you say "Of course there are a lot of variations", but then here you treat it as if everyone ("the rest of us") walks that same path. Not everyone does.

Cloud backup eliminates local disaster data loss. Which is amazing. It also introduces counter party risk, e.g. Google style service shutdown with 30-90 days to download your data or even a Megaupload like shutdown.
It has them - the features for naming every individual choice, specifying labels, and otherwise tweaking that output in SurveyGizmo are much stronger. This isn't a dealbreaker, but makes archiving past analysis, reports, and data files easier and more descriptive than e.g. "Q1_2". It also makes it a bit nicer if you don't have to do the renaming downstream, since it just avoids another step where you can introduce errors. SurveyGizmo also has some features specifically for R, though I haven't used R yet.

Long term, the whole survey industry should probably move away from SPSS to something fully open source, with a file type that is truly standard that can be read into all the different systems.

PS - I know that there are APIs for individual questions, data, etc. But, as an analyst first and programmer much much later on my list, I find them too complex to really be worth it. A lot of survey analysis is one-off.

I'd love a pandas/numpy/python call that just looked like:

get_survey_as_dataframe (surveyID, API_key, any other stuff).
