I believe the purpose of newspapers is to give facts which allow me to make up my own mind. Which is certainly harder than just spouting the party line I guess. Take the Swedish Democrats: I agree with their stance on immigration but their economic policy and their social conservative beliefs I do not share.
If thing A is optional, and thing B is permanently attached to thing B, there are a couple of ways to express this relationship. One could say "Thing B is non-optionally attached to optional thing A". One could also say "Thing B is optional, but bundled with thing A".

Some might say "Thing B is optional", because thing B is attached to thing A that is optional, and their inseparability does not change this characteristic.

I understand where you're coming from. It would be really awesome have privacy-respecting to have an "opt out of all tracking forever and just let me have the service" button, without which there's really no option at all. That's a strong, principled, justified, and completely valid position.

Yet, it's perhaps possible that different vernacular readings of the word might arrive at different, though equally valid, positions.

You are obviously correct that we don't just kill things because they are subhuman, but it sure makes the threshold for deciding to kill things lower. We generally kill animals very differently than the way we kill humans, particularly pests. Animals are often killed when they pose the slightest risk to humans.

Killing women and children could only ever seem appropriate if one thought that the women and children deserved as much consideration as a wild animal. I think it's the same with slaves in a lot of time periods. They didn't kill them for fun, but they also didn't get charged with murder when they did kill them.

Between killing enemy combatants and killing pests, genocide tends to look a lot more like killing pests.
Yup, it's a GDPR-driven options configuration thing.
On a related note, I'm wondering how distributed systems that rely on atomic clocks (e.g. Google Spanner) would work in the space era, given that relativity says that there's no such thing as a global clock.
The downside to paying more is that bad programmers don't leave because they will never find a better-paying job. People will stay even if they don't feel comfortable with either their job or their colleagues. You have to fire them for vague reasons. That's a kind of stress that not every manager can bear so you have to prepare your management layer accordingly.
Indeed, we all long for the days, before 1800 or so, the overwhelming majority of human history, when the people living on more than $2 a day were a vanishingly small minority.

The expansion of health, wealth, education and prosperity since WW2 has been particularly revolting. Education and lifespan have increased on every continent and wealth per person has increased on every continent bar Africa.

This is not the wretched poverty, suffering and disease, the death in childbirth, the children dying in their droves in infancy that we deserve.

Blaming WhatsApp is easy, but it is the ideology that should be getting attacked here. I will bring in viewpoint relevant to Indian minorities here. They are under exceptional threat in India right now, and they don't have resources or means to counter the propaganda being rained on them. Current party ruling India, BJP, is beholden to a group with fascist ideologies, RSS [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. RSS views Muslims and Christians as aliens to India, and Islam as something which was brought to India by force, and christianity by forced conversions of missionaries. They want to root out these religions. Even more sinister is their outlook towards indigenous religions i.e. Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism. They consider it to be their own branch. In short, anything not Hinduism is open to be eliminated. They have penetrated educational institutes, installed Deans in Universities and snubbed out dissidents and independent voices.

So much so that RSS held a conference in Chicago, World Hindu Congress, where RSS chief openly called Indian minorites as pests and dogs from outside who can destroy the lions (Hindus) [6]. This is the sweets box they gave to each and every participant [7]. They also pointed out how inter-faith marriages is a danger to Hindus [8]. This outright fascism was aired on US soil. This fascist organisation has patronage of ex-President of India too. Worse, they don't like Hindus having interfaith marriages, which is a way of saying don't marry Muslims.

Another is the incestous relationship between Twitter and WhatsApp. Blue tick marks on Twitter frequently air bigoted messages that they receive on WhatsApp. Worse, these messages are screenshotted and then spread back on WhatsApp, now they carry an air of authenticity because it was tweeted by a blue tick mark. It is destroying the very social fabric of India and very much a danger to minorities of India.

>Those are stakes of roughly $600,000 per minute, or $36 million per hour.

This is an odd thing about gambling when compared to drugs, prostitution or other vices. Gambling can scale up to consume whatever amount of money you happen to have.

It is no doubt a lot but there is some upper bound on how much heroin/cocaine/whatever you can consume without outright killing yourself.

Similarly, there is some upper bound on how much any single human can spend on prostitutes.

Gambling has no upper bound. It can scale up infinitely in line with the gamblers financial means.

I don't know what that theoretical cost ceiling is for drugs and prostitution but I'd hazard a guess and say its way lower than $36 million per hour.
I think that if they gave those fortunes for something more worthy like progress of science or charities, it would be much more positive for society. Squandering is just spending money on unimportant things, which DO NOT give benefit to society. Yeah, some of this money will make it into hands of other people, but most of this is just removing value from society.
Why is the local cache limited to 10 GB?

I am building Zero to store my personal pictures and videos and I feel like 10GB local cache means that only the last month of pictures and videos is local, which seems very limited.

Are there any technical reasons why the cache cannot be 500GB?
>Absolutely none of the "rich person" activities in that article even remotely appealed to me. I am confident that even if I had a bazillion dollars, I wouldn't demand the sorts of things that some of these people were asking for.

That's nice virtue signalling, but how can you be so sure before you really are in that situation ? Wealth and power are known to alter brain chemistry and behaviour. Furthermore, these butlers will be happy to help you take to their absurd end whatever indulgences you find normal.
There is a government consultation process open RIGHT NOW for this bill. You have to get your submissions in by the end of today (6 hours time). Every Australian here needs to make a submission (please).

The page for the inquiry is:

https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/about/consultations/assistanc...

The email address for submissions is:

AssistanceBill.Consultation@homeaffairs.gov.au

A submission only has to be a few lines, so just bang out a few words. Whilst a well researched submission is the gold standard, even a rudimentary email will send the message that people care about this issue and counter whoever is whispering in politicians' ears. Anything is better than nothing.

Less time critically, you also need to write to or call your federal MP.

--- Edit:

The committee might also be swayed by submissions from non-Australian experts? Australia first, your country next.
Being charitable, you could say at least part of the former are experiencing confirmation bias - that they enjoyed reading a different take on their existing knowledge - and cannot be arbiters of whether the book imparts anything useful to those without that knowledge.
There's a great line from the book Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie where the narrator of the book remarks that (and I'm paraphrasing here), there's loads of ways in the world to be poor, but apparently there's only one way to be rich - indulge in the same 'luxuries'.
I don't have such plan, but Linux kernel devs have some mitigation plans.

Not to rewrite C into something else, but to get out of the current escalation of kernel exploits, now that Linux is a commodity OS, it gets targeted as such

https://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linux-security-sum...

Hence Kernel Self Preservation Project, removing VLAs from kernel code, adding all possible ways of mitigation, and hopping that eventually tagged pointers like SPARC and ARM have become common across all supported hardware.

The charts shown by Google employees regarding exploits are quite telling.

One country's net immigration of talent is another country's brain drain.

How do developed nations expect developing nations to develop if the young trained people just leave after being trained?

Gold coin 'remittances' don't construct a nation, and they don't continue over time. If you've moved from Smallville to Metropolis, you'll know this. How much do you send back?

Taking talent from developing nations is just a continuation of imperial colonial appropriation in a new form. There are severe moral implications.
Yeah I feel like this is re-inventing the wheel - as a topographic map is a solved problem from (100?) years ago.
Regarding the learning curve - it takes a maximum of 15 minutes to understand how to read them. After you 'get it' you can visualize the flat map in 3d.

The one issue of using topo maps for city navigation is that the contour lines are sometimes hard to make out when having buildings, streets and other noise in the foreground (I'm using OsmAnd contours as an example).

The blog post itself is really nice of how it goes in-depth. The final product reminds me of those ski-resort maps that show the downhills. The final product works really well as a tourist informational map.

To be honest, actual cheddar from GB/Ireland is very different from the yellow goop served at most fast food chains. Not surprising that got associated with cheddar instead of the real thing.

I would find that unlikely considering how rarely cross-species reproduction is and we're not talking a different species, it's an entirely different family. Monkeys are largely not compatible enough to produce viable offspring, the last time that I am aware humans cross-bred with non-humans was with Neanderthals.

And that's not even mentioning the even remoter chance that the offspring is viable and can reproduce.
First they need to add support for generics, enumerations, dynamic loading, OSes supported by Java....

The problem is that we as a society already agreed that it’s acceptable.

We allowed the government to open mail, open locks and tap phones with a warrant all of which were technically challenging.

Phone networks must be set up with specific dedicated access for law enforcement heck I remember crawling through the SNMP MIBs on my Motorola cable modem 15 years ago and discovering a whole class of them dedicated to lawful interception.

Most networking equipment providers even have guides on how to set these up:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/sec_usr_cf...

And this is why the encryption battle is a bit odd to me as much as I would like encryption to be never tampered with we’ve already as a society agreed that the government in some cases should have access so what makes WhatsApp so different to a phone call?

If encryption isn’t a way to backdoor ourselves out of the existing legal interception laws then as much as I hate to admit it we don’t have a leg to stand on.

If it is then we should just publicly say that the government shouldn’t be able to tap phones regardless of what technology they are using to communicate.

> Isn't that a exceptionally idealistic given what we know about misinformation on the Internet? While we can debate the motivations, the Internet is a cesspool of misrepresentation.

I suppose the idea I'm trying to communicate can be also expressed as navigating towards localized pockets of lower misrepresentations levels in the cesspool of Internet. I'm arguing that regular news outlets have high concentration of misrepresentation, and quite frequently are the source of it.

Or: I'm not saying that if you pop on to a random subreddit you'll immediately find gold-standard, unbiased people. But I am saying that for any given domain, if you find a niche community and browse it for a bit, you'll get, on average, much better information than you'll get from reading news articles on the same topics.

Another extra feature of niche communities like various specialized subreddits, or HN, is that the experts, the pretend-experts and the wannabe-experts will engage in a discussion. This does not only help filter out obvious bullshit, but also provides extra information and can tell you when a problem is so complex it can't be accurately summarized in a headline or a short article.

Many tools that produce similarly-looking layouts use pretty much the same algorithms, just with different tweaks. I.e. hierarchical layout is usually based on Sugiyama's work; force-directed is also a staple that's very easy to implement and thus is widely implemented. There often is no simple list why one implementation is better/different than another. There are common improvements you can make or features you can add, though:

- In a hierarchical layout, supporting custom layering and sequencing to ensure that certain nodes will appear in a given layer, or that within a layer the order of nodes is fixed. This is fairly easy to add, since layering and sequencing have to be done anyway.

- Support for grouping, where nodes can be enclosed in a box, which requires the layout to keep them close to each other and also ensure that no other nodes protrude in that box (and preferably prevent edges from passing through as well).

- Customizability of edge routes, where you could, for example, say that edges have to leave a node on the bottom and enter from the top, instead of having that property implicit due to the layout direction and choosing to pur ports in the center of nodes.

- Some applications don't concern themselves with interactivity and thus don't care about algorithms that, for example, would ensure that after incrementally changing the graph, the resulting image would still look similar to the old one (when adding a node to a tree you don't want the order of subtrees higher up to change completely just because of that change).

- Any features you add may interact with each other and further complicate the implementation to ensure that each one still works (and results in acceptable runtime).

Generally, due to the breadth of features that can be supported/implemented in a given implementation, you sometimes have to study the documentation closely. If all you care about is getting a nice result with default settings, then that's often easy to test, though. But the nature of graph drawing is sadly that the most visible effect of an algorithm is what you see.
You're just sat in the 1%, looking up at the .01% and decrying the immorality of their success. Worldwide, the number of people living in extreme poverty has IIRC halved since the 90s. Fatal diseases in third world countries are being prevented.

>There is one habit that even the brattiest clients tend to avoid: getting blindingly drunk. When you’re gaming at such astronomical dollar values, after all, it’s critical to keep your wits.

The author would be surprised. Besides, those are only "astronomical" for them and their salary, not for e.g. oil heirs. It's not like those people came there to strategically win...

>Also in the category of demands that can’t be fulfilled: hookers.

Yeah, right.

>Requests for drugs—usually cocaine—are also once-a-week occurrences that come with a hard “no.” (Unless, of course, butlers see a valid prescription.)

Or, you know, if a employee working at the casino will make a thousand $ for their middleman role, for little risk.
These "unsophisticated" people in India love their kids as people do everywhere and don't want them to get kidnapped and gang raped. Which does seem to happen an awful lot and can be read about in old media newspapers every day.

Instead of blaming WhatsApp maybe the Indian government can start to make people feel safe.
That actually is real progress... I'm not sure why its a problem if the content is meant for subscribers.
My parents are far from being uneducated, but even they believe that any forward sent through WhatsApp is actually from the authority figure mentioned in the message.

Messages usually exploit this by mentioning how "XYZ warning" is according to scientists at NASA/MIT/IIT. My parents - who are both in their 70s - believe that these messages actually originated from NASA/MIT, etc.

I don't know how to fight this. I've tried explaining it to my parents yet they don't get it.

I can't even imagine how hard it would be to dispel these myths and beliefs among uneducated people.

It always troubles me when people throw this global piece into it. This global number is absolutely meaningless outside of a regional and often even city based economy.

The quality of life someone can purchase for their family with a $34,000 salary if we live in SF is a terrible and incredibly rough quality of life.

When people speak about the 1%, they are typically speaking colloquially about the 1% from any given region.

The quality of life one can purchase for their family with a $34,000 salary in NYC is still just awful when compared to quality of life of the richest people in China or the richest people in India.

Practically laws are forced to contend with the challenges of decentralization when it emerges, as in the case of nunerous laws that became harder to enforce due to the internet.

Yes, this is about science, not mathematics. But scientific results are open to being question in their methodology and in the interpretation of their results. Mathematics is either correct or it isn't. This is a pretty blatant attempt of shifting something from one category to the other.

I'm wary of services that auto-compress images, because a) I want my bits to stay the way they were originally captured, and b) every now and then I have to print a photo I make, and then suddenly all those details matter for the print quality.
