Patently wrong. Here's how the API works:

The Update API lets your client applications download hashed versions of the Safe Browsing lists for storage in a local database. URLs can then be checked locally. Only if a match is found in the local database does the client need to send a request to the Safe Browsing servers to verify whether the URL is included on the Safe Browsing lists.

I disagree. I don’t enjoy or listen to music, but it’s still sound. And I like many people I dislike loud sounds, a subset of which is loud music.

I may not fall into this group. But, I suspect these people still have emotional responses to sounds loud enough to be causing dammage.

I'm not so convinced. There would be still "uk.co.bbc" and "com.bbc" pointing to the same body behind it and any kind of confusion arising from this, like, "is 'ug.co.bbc' the same?" The most important part is teaching users that the identity isn't just "bbc" with some extra decoration. Also, we have the reverse example in software packaging (com/example/disruptiveLibrary) and it isn't fool-proof either (especially, if you only know of "disruptiveLibrary" and not about its origin).

Once I can use it to scan groceries as I put them in the cart and walk straight to the car it’ll be even better.

> on the other hand those tasked with educating us have failed us (parents, school system)

Is the problem lack of education, or is it that humans also have emotions to contend with?

If, hypothetically, someone with a $100k income spends $75k on rent, they are left with $25k to spend elsewhere. If another location allows you to rent a place for $10k, that means that a $35k income would also leave you with $25k to spend elsewhere.

Assuming all else is equal, try and convince someone with that $100k income that they should move and take a $40k job instead. It, in almost all cases, isn't going to happen.

Sure, they would technically be better off, giving them an additional $5,000 in their pocket. But from a social perspective, saying that you make $100k sounds way more impressive than saying you make $40k. And moving isn't a desirable action for most. It seems that is difficult for a lot of people to overcome, even when they know the numbers are not in their favour.
Twitter is "about" advertising; everything else is incidental. Bans only happen if Twitter believes that doing so (a) gains users or (b) prevents users from leaving.

Hate speech, election meddling, threats of nuclear war - it all gets a free pass until it stops generating "impressions".

But they only do it because we (as a group) let them get away with it. If 30% of Twitter users left, the platform wouldn't last a week.

How can an assumption be racist anyway?

The assumption was rooted in cultural practices of the Deep South.

Studies show that people who disagree with primary racism will still agree with secondary and tertiary rules that help enforce it. So you may not like the idea of subconscious bias, but it's quite real.

It is sort of a social "Jim Crow" law. Like when people say they aren't racist, but they wouldn't hire anyone who "sounds" black (who has the so called black accent) because you need to be articulate for the job. My rebuttal to that back in the day was "George W. Bush." Because if you actually need to be articulate, then a white man widely mocked for his speech issues should have never been president. But that's not really it.

They may not have been "uniquely" expansionist, but they were easily one of the most expansionist civilizations/empires to ever exist.

I take big issue with calling them "devoted to peace". The same as I'd take issue with calling Mongols, Romans, or Alexander's Greeks/Macedonians being called "devoted to peace". They very obviously were not. For selfish reasons, they provoked a staggering level of warfare, on a totally different scale as the typical kingdoms that existed throughout the world.

Your advice is on point; I would find this resume very difficult to skim (and very easy to skip), need to treat it like a landing page, and distil the important parts.
On big servers (4RU, quad socket xeon size), BIOS features exist specifically to deal with this in electricity outage situations. Most people will leave the option set to "last state" for power recovery, meaning that after total loss of AC power, the server will attempt to return itself to the last operating state, typically on. Problem is when you have dozens of such servers, the inrush current if they all try to power on at once is huge. So there's a second BIOS option, allowing you to set a custom time-delay between return of AC power and when the system attempts to start, or to choose a random start delay between 1 and 30 seconds so that a whole series of machines don't all try to start at precisely the same time.

It's not that. Hate-speech is not political. Racism is not political. Morality is not all that political.

People should condemn disgusting hate speech regardless of their political affiliation.

I still don’t see the difference. Consider a lawnmower. Its purpose is to cut things. It doesn’t care whether it’s grass or hoses or feet. A common failure mode is to cut the user’s hands or feet. The safety bar helps prevent this. It doesn’t stop you from cutting other people’s hands or feet, and it’s easily bypassed if you want to cut your own, but it’s still a valuable safety feature because this particular accident is so common.

Likewise, serving .git is a common problem. Not serving it by default would prevent it. Why is that bad?

Typically, they include a cryptographic hash of the previous block, which I would think would imply singly linked. (Since otherwise, you need to predict the output of a cryptographic hash function, which is by definition not possible.)

Yes, they were. Collecting revenue != common wisdom holds that their business model is a good idea. I recall that even at the IPO, there was widespread surprise that Google had been profitable since 2001, as most people had assumed they must be losing money.

There are wide information disparities and a long time lag between something becoming actually true and when it enters common wisdom. Heck, I can think of a couple cryptocurrency companies that made over a billion dollars in revenue (revenue, not valuation) last year and yet a good portion of the planet still thinks crypto is a fad or pyramid scheme.

> Honestly, we're probably at the point in our existence as a nation where we have the least freedom of speech

I think McCarthyism would like to have a word with you.

People have always been persecuted socially for socially unacceptable beliefs. If you said "I want to eat babies" 100 years ago, your friends wouldn't associate with you, just as they wouldn't now.

100 years ago you could say "I think people of the same gender as me are attractive" or "I wanna do it in the butt" and also be persecuted by your friends, though now both of those phrases are unlikely to see you condemned.

You can say more total things today without being persecuted I posit, however social persecution has been made into a far more public affair with the advent of social media and the 24/7 for-profit news cycle.

I think your speech is more free, but we hear more stories of social consequences due to the nature of news and social media, which creates biases and persecution complexes.

I admit I don't have numbers and facts to back it up, but neither do you have any evidence for your argument.
Whenever aphantasia (absence of visual mental imagery) or musical anhedonia (http://www.pnas.org/content/113/46/E7337) come up on HN, I can count on someone to be surprised to discover that that's what they are and that when other people talked about "seeing things in their mind's eye" or being emotionally moved by a song it wasn't just another idiom or metaphor but quite literal. :)

Thanks for the effort in sharing this.

Like most other "privacy" policies, this was written up by lawyers.

Note that they make no clarifications as to what is defined as "customer's" data, only that "Clean Map Reports" are not shared with 3rd parties. i.e. once the map data is stored on their servers, does it still belong to the customer or to Roomba? Technically if it becomes Roomba's data they are not violating their privacy policy. Additionally, my reading of it suggests the latter, because the policy says they will honor requests to delete it. A better policy would be to automatically delete it after 90 days, for example.

A good argument could be made to use that dataset for improving the product, but IMO the risks of de-anonymizing it and exposing that data far outweigh the benefits.

You probably start to tolerate a song you don't like better the longer you are exposed to it. Of course, at some point boredom kicks in. You find pleasure both in what sounds familiar (thus harmless, cozy) and in what sounds novel (a new experience, an opportunity for gaining knowledge).
