Yes, the article linked [1] also mentions it. But it also shows what have been removed, such as:

«“Don’t be evil.” Googlers generally apply those words to how we serve our users. But “Don’t be evil” is much more than that. Yes, it’s about providing our users unbiased access to information, focusing on their needs and giving them the best products and services that we can. But it’s also about doing the right thing more generally – following the law, acting honorably, and treating co-workers with courtesy and respect.»

The fact they removed this (e.g. "providing our users unbiased access to information") and that they are now setting up a censored version of their search engine shows that everything that they have removed in there should now be considered as deprecated.

Ah, you mean there is free speech and also reasonably scoped restrictions on hate speech. I’m okay with that. Do you have an example to share that shows how that is a bad thing in practice? Because I’n having trouble finding one.
We do these sort of surveys a lot with our team. We found that users had a hard time coming up with the ranked list, but found making A vs B comparisons easy.

We slapped together a quick tool that lets you create pairwise surveys and then aggregates their results using the Schulze method (as if it were a preferential election).

We've released it for free: https://decidedly.so
Consider this perspective: that's protecting the freedoms of the people that are hurt by that kind of hate speech.
Ultimately, most publishers will probably handle it like Valve, who have found a brilliant workaround:

Show players the contents of the next box they buy, which makes it not gambling.

While the US is technically listed as a "Developed country", and is of course the most wealthy country in the world, that wealth does not extend to a majority of it's citizens.

In fact, the US is at or very near the worst among OECD countries in all of the following, and is much closer to Developing countries than Developed countries: infant mortality, child poverty, child health and safety, life expectancy at birth, healthy life expectancy, rate of obesity, disability-adjusted life years, doctors per 1000 people, deaths from treatable conditions, rate of mental health disorders, rate of drug abuse, rate of prescription drug use, incarceration rate, rate of assaults, rate of homicides, income inequality, wealth inequality, and economic mobility.

Of course this is nonsense. It's not completely unconstrained speech, but freedom of expression is right there in ECHR.

" Article 10 – Freedom of expression

1. Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers. This article shall not prevent States from requiring the licensing of broadcasting, television or cinema enterprises.

2. The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary."
That's also a large part of the push towards microcode. Once you get to the level of micro-ops, even modern CPUs are... reasonably simple.

The flip side is, your CPU may need a firmware update. >_>
I agree that all cheap cars in the Netherlands are manual. Especially the under 10.000 euro small kind of car like a Hyundai i10, small Kia or similar.

But over the last few years the automatic has increased dramatically in popularity with the more serious brands like BMW and Audi. Not just in their top models, BMW has been selling an 8 speed automatic as standard even on the 1-series.

A big part of that is because modern automatic gearboxes are not slow and boring anymore. The dual-clutch type really made sales increase. And so does the increase in hybrid and electric cars which are very popular due to tax reasons and all of them are automatic.

The driving test is a choice. You don't need a medical reason, you can choose to do the test in an automatic (or hybrid / electric) car if you want to. But almost nobody does that, because you are indeed not allowed to drive a manual car after doing the test in an automatic.

Exactly. After the crap they pulled with NBA2k18 [1], I refuse to buy another ~EA~ 2K game. Apparently they made it ever so slightly better this year, but that's not enough.

[1] Up through 2k17 (that was on the edge though) you could make your custom player good just by playing the game. It might take some time, but it could be done. With 2k18, you needed to buy the game for $60 and then spend ~$100 to have anything near a playable character.

EDIT

Whoops, my micro transaction hate got ahead of my coffee drinking :) My point still stands though. If you don't like the way a company is doing something, don't buy their product.

It was a free beta weekend, and it seemed like an interesting thing to try.

Now, it's not that DICE is per se a bad developer, but the deadlines pushed on by EA give rise to lots of bugs on release.(But, I've not played an EA/DICE game since BF3 so I could be wrong there, things might've changed.)

The games are usually playable some time after release.

And things like this: https://gizmodo.com/congratulations-to-ea-games-for-posting-... don't exactly make me warm up to actually buying an EA game.

While I'm a fan of self-hosting (I do it for email, contacts/calendar sync, RSS, etc), I'd say the problem there was a lack of backups, not the cloud service itself.

People think of backups as a way to protect themselves against hardware failure, but that's a reductive view; their purpose is to protect against systems failure, and a company is a single system. Sure they have their backups, but as you experienced, from the outside this is irrelevant - the system can fail as a whole, and therefore should be treated as a single copy.

Following the 3-2-1 rule, that might mean creating a second Google account with which you share all documents, and some process for backing up to outside Google (even if it's a regular manual use of Takeout).

Using a cloud service that can't be backed up is no different than trusting an hard drive not to fail.
Too much centralization is definitely bad (for an extreme example see the Soviet economy that was centralized to a ridiculous extent). But government doesn't have to mean centralized, to take the Swedish system once again, the healthcare is handled at a regional level, within the national legal framework. This does take local variables into account, which is important - different parts of Sweden can actually have significant differences in the medical situation.

It's still state-run in the important sense that the legal mandate comes from the state. This is a major advantage over private initiatives in my opinion. To take a simple example, say there's a legal requirement that people who cannot use their legs are entitled to receive a wheelchair. When that's the law, it means the government (regional, local, whatever applies) has to make it happen, even when it's inconvenient or expensive. When it's a charity or a private initiative, it might not have enough money/incentive/commercial interest/insert reason here to cover everyone.

Admittedly my views on centralized vs. regional governance aren't sophisticated due to my background. I live in a country of 10 million, which isn't too big globally, and I moved here from a very centralized country of 2 million where devolved decision making only makes sense in truly local issues.

> 1. Educate parents on the importance of children education

I'm not sure most parents, Vanessa included, don't know that education is important to their children's future. She likely lacks the opportunity to send her children to a school where they would receive a good education.

> 2. Educate people to not have kids before they're financially and emotionally ready.

I would argue that most people look at having children in terms of opportunity cost. If you're wealthy and have a good career, you tend to put off having children or have fewer children. That's why the birth rate is so low in developed countries compared to that of the developing world.

Pretty sure Valve haven't actually removed lootboxes, they just show which common reward you will get if you are in Belgium, Rares are still random.

When you consider that the above is enough that Valve haven't been touched yet, it just feels like EA are digging their heels for the sake of it.

On the other hand, these are the same people who gave us BF2 and have been releasing a near identical game every year since the 90's so they may have just gotten lazy and not even noticed the law. Far too used to no effort money making that lot.

My advice to British learner drivers - just take the test in an automatic car. Yes you won't be able to drive manual cars but who cares about that?

It's 2018 people! Leave obsolete technology behind. You want to learn how to drive a horse drawn cart too?

EDIT - This was meant as a reply to a related comment. Oops.
In the UK you can elect to do your test in an auto, but then you are not allowed to drive a manual, so very few people do.

Personally though, I find driving an auto much more fun. I also have a car with paddle shifters that I never use!
This is just social darwinist moralising imo. If you're going to really prescribe that as a solution, can you point to cases where "telling poor people not to have kids" has proven effective to improve society? Even if it is effective, it's still sickening to me, the idea that you should only have kids if you either inherit money or you're lucky enough to climb out of poverty. If population control ever becomes necessary in the west it has to be by random ballot not privilege.
Sweden seems to do okay without them.
Wierdest thing, I cannot see it in thread, however it is under url you've provided.
Another example of sub-bit information:

Base85! 85 different ASCII characters have lb(85) ≈ 6.4094 bit. With 5 of then you get slightly more than 32 bits. Each of the 5 characters have a surplus 0.4 bit of information to add up to 2 bits.

To encode to Base85 use a 32 bit entity as an 32 bit unsigned integer then divide by 85 five times and take the remainders (from 0 to 84) as indices to the string of all Base85 characters of length 85.

To decode view the characters as a number written in base 85. This means that there are a few Base85 representations which are more than 2^31 - 1, this would mean an decoding error.

> In US constitution, the 13th amendment leaves out only prisoners from slavery clause. It was bit shocking because US constitution essentially says that government can use prisoners just like slaves!

It’s definitely a shocking feature of the constitution. I’ve been wondering lately if it really can be (or has been) used to justify things like forced labor benefiting a for-profit corporation at below the legal minimum wage. The text says “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime...”. Couldn’t one argue that being in prison is the punishment - but working in a corporate sweatshop is additional servitude used not as punishment but as abuse of people already being punished?
Yes. I recently read “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” and I’m sure that my enjoyment of it was significantly reduced by the central mystery’s resolution having inundated popular culture my entire life.

Imagine, for a moment, if Alan Sokal had gotten a like-minded friend who worked at Social Text to fast-track his infamous paper, but by chance someone else did happen to take a look at it and immediately caught on that it was a huge troll and that their processes had been subverted by someone who wanted to score cheap political points by sneaking a paper into their journal.

Would you argue that Social Text would, in that situation, still have some sort of duty to publish the paper? Would you argue they'd have a responsibility to give it a prominent, permanent, place in their archives to avoid accusations of having "disappeared" it? Would you argue that they'd need to air that dirty laundry in public? If they did air it all publicly and honestly, would you treat that as a form of bullying of Sokal and his accomplice(s)? Remember: that would be the powerful journal leveling accusations of deliberate fraud against an academic who submitted the paper, and accusations of, at the very least, dishonesty and violation of review processes against one of their own.

It's not impossible to write, but just extremely hard for anything that is not trivial.

For example take function that takes a byte as an input and has byte as an output. Moreover has no external or internal state. You can run through all 256 inputs and check the outputs.

However, if the function has 128 bits of input. You could not possibly enumerate all possible inputs and check the output. So it takes other methods to prove it's bug free. This can be hard to find, and there is no way to automate this in all cases. (Halting problem)

However, bug free code is not impossible to write. I might say a bug free system is more likely to be impossible since would involve perfect hardware that is also immune to interference, and the physical world can cause a bit to flip while performing a computation.
The problem is 2-fold, 1) a business/contract problem 2) a technology problem.

The business problem is that your on-prem customers need to accept the idea of being being upgraded to the latest version automatically or on a specific cadence (ie every day, week, month, etc). If they're not willing to accept this, they need to pay you more for the extended support (LTS) of an older version. Many enterprises will be hesitant to accept auto-updates b/c they fear that your application will break during update, you can alleviate that concern with technology as well.

The technology problem can be overcome by using a cloud-native architecture for your on-prem product. This will ensure that your product has the level of reliability that is needed for true modern on-prem deployments you're describing. It will allow customers to do canary updates, rolling updates that will minimize downtime (just like you do for SaaS based CD). Multiple repos, different components, no problem, package them as Docker containers and then deliver the new manifest (k8s, swarm etc) that includes the new images. The key to success here is automation. You have to have a level of rigor for automating every production change with automation (often packaged as a new migration container for the new version). There are other systems you can build to solve for this as well, including release channels that will allow you to push different versions to different customers or staging environments based on specific licenses for each customer.

We've spent the last 4 years turning this problem into a product: www.replicated.com and it currently powers the on-prem versions for Travis CI, CodeClimate, CircleCI, Terraform Enterprise, Gradle and many others who know a lot about CI/CD.

My advice to British learner drivers - take the test in a manual car and do your utmost to get an automatic car. Especially so if existing family cars are manual.

The vast majority of cars around are manual, unfortunately. This means that you won’t be able to drive most cars around. In the case of one person I know, they had to retake their driving test a couple of years later because they were forced to drive a manual car. In addition, if you are buying a car as a young adult, it is likely that price matters, and the number of cheaper, used manual cars vastly outnumbers cheaper, used automatics.

It isn’t much extra effort to learn manual, and you can let the skill atrophy afterwards.
Except wouldn’t human society collapse if everyone “pivoted away” because it turns out we like eating fish, etc.?

Is it possible wages often don’t reflect the value of the work people do?
Totally agree. After driving an automatic for years in the US, I came back to the UK and had to hire a manual for a week. Even though I learned in a manual it was a horrible experience. Hill starts are a nightmare, and you're driving with all your arms and feet, like an octopus. After that, my wife, who had learned to drive in the US and had to do the UK test, opted just to take the automatic test, passing in just a few lessons.

Agreed. I think it's hard for a non programmer to estimate the difficulty of implementing a certain feature. Both in time and in technical debt. For example if some feature really doesn't fit in the program architecture and will require ugly hacks to achieve. It's the programmer's duty to let the manager know when such a cost will be incurred.
