This is good advice, but paradoxically, outward arrogance can also be caused by thinking TOO LITTLE OF ONESELF, so another remedy can be developing confidence in oneself without needing to belittle others.
My future boss read my blog post and sent me email.

Email went to spam folder.

Once a week i checked spam folder and found that email.

It's only surprising if you think racism does not have a basis on reality.
Basically anything written in erlang or elixir follows this paradigm.

It's really extremely productive to code this way... I wrote a job scheduler from scratch in 3 months and never once had to write or use a mutex or semaphore. Immutability makes you very confident about your code.

Similarly, my UI guy wrote a UI in basically functional react. It's amazing. With very little js experience I made code patches that.. just worked because I was guaranteed that no function calls had mysterious side effects...
Commenting specifically on the black names example: I am skeptical because they replicated the results of a study on humans based on the Implicit Association Test. I would be generous in calling that the Myers-Briggs of this generation, but it's probably even less valuable other in that it's free to take online so a huge data set is easily available.
There's a difference between a short term hack and real fix. The real solution was for them to train their data with more pictures of black people.

Sadly, these enforcement actions are very selective.

It's not like PayPal or other SV companies for that matter like Patreon really care about their Community Guidelines.

I reported a person to Patreon some time ago who takes it as a job to spread hateful/false info about white helmets, even advocating for killing them many times. High profile enough person to be documented by journalists, and have special chapters in large reports about russian propaganda. No response. And it's not like these people are not being killed regularly, by the same government that regularly tags her in images posted to twitter from their embassy accounts.

But hey, baby steps.

I don't think this is true. You could see maps, and Seattle and the sound happened to be in the path of the smoke at times. But things were also bad east of the Cascades, in various parts of B.C. etc. The smoke doesn't have a particular tendency to linger in Seattle or Puget sound.

Why would anyone choose good and expensive over good and cheap?
It takes bad luck for sure, but I once ruined a bunch (a big bunch) of my photos by syncing them to a NAS with a faulty RAM. It was a Synology Ds212 I think, back in 2012. Mind you, the device didn’t produce symptoms other than messing up regularly spaced bytes in the transferred files.
I think that Monday I will be talking to the money transmission licensing board in my state.

Maybe PayPal needs to explain to my state why they should retain the ability to continue to operate...not sure that their one-sided values are in alignment with the law.

EDIT: remember that if you tolerate this behavior towards people you disagree with (I myself don't pay any attention to Jones as I think he is someone who doesn't really try to understand reality), then when the tables are turned, as they do quite often in politics, what basis will you have to complain about the poor treatment you or someone whose views you champion, receives?
If it's near death experiences you want, no need to push the boat out - just skip dinner, go to the pub, drink 7 pints of beer, have a kebab (you'll probably be hungry by then), go home, drink the 2 bottles of beer you found in the fridge, that and eat the pork pie, then sleep for 6 hours, then wake up.

People doesn't realize that all this will effect them. Ya, scapegoat the guy who everyone thinks deserves it. But, then it's on to the people who might deserve it. Then, they come knocking on your door and you question how. It's happening right now in front of your eyes. I would be very scared at what is to come from letting these massive corporations exercise this kind of mass banning power.
Just thinking out loud here...

It seems to me that if you wanted to root out sentiment bias in this type of algorithm, then you would need to adjust your baseline word embeddings dataset until you have sentiment scores for the words "Italian", "British", "Chinese", "Mexican", "African", etc that are roughly equal, without changing the sentiment scores for all other words. That being said, I have no idea how you'd approach such a task...

I don't think you could ever get equal sentiment scores for "black" and "white" without biasing the dataset in such a manner that it would be rendered invalid for other scenarios (e.g., giving a "dark black alley" a higher sentiment than it would otherwise have). "Black" and "white" is a more difficult situation because the words have different meanings outside of race/ethnicity.
If you feel like I'm wrong how about you explain further instead of complaining that my comment wasn't removed? I wish this site would force you to comment before you downvote or flag.
All the liberal evil corps are after silencing voices they don't want to hear. This kind of censorship reminds me of the communist era in Bulgaria. Same Commies, different times...

Yep, seems to be pitch class notation with T and E replaced with a and b.

Just because humans are biased doesn't mean we have to make our algorithms biased too. This is especially important now that AI and ML are starting to be deployed in non-CS cases.

So you demand that these private corporations need to do business with someone they find contemptible? Nobody is putting him in jail. He’s free to speak his noxious views. And other people are not obligated to publish or advertise on them.
Completely agree, but there are also 3 types of people on this Earth who don't even think he should be censored like this:

1) Free speech purists, whether they agree or disagree

2) People who actually believe him

3) People who think Alex Jones' acting is a hilarious trainwreck of emotions (me!)
I get that their guidelines aren't uniformly enforced, but how are the values themselves one-sided? Are you suggesting they should also ban people who voice support for Muslims or gun control? What is the "other side"?

As much as I detest that site, this is now dangerous precedence. Payment processors choosing not to do business at their whim.

Imagine scenario - there is a totalitarian government in some banana republic that forces these companies (who are already global) not to support dissidents of it's regime in order to operate in their countries, what moral high ground will they take? The totalitarian regime will say you are doing this in US then why not in our country too?

Internet was supposed to be great equalizer. But supposedly monopolies are abusing their power. This is too close to net neutrality argument. Payment processors is oligopoly business like ISPs. It's a high barrier to enter due to governmental regulations. Now why can't be case made for net neutrality for payment processors?

And "build your payment processing company" -- give me a break. Any media organization can't just build payment processing services. I know there is BTC/ETH, saving grace for decentralization of Internet and working as true intended goal.

PayPal has been arbitrarily banning people for the entire time they’ve existed, like pretty much every website with members.

But they already did come knocking for an industry I was in. Despite the fact there are stores in all 50 states selling the product, and it’s gray-area legal in all of those states and explicitly legal for cannabis in about half the country, it’s difficult to openly sell blown glass art pipes on PayPal for long. They will shut down your account, keep your money for as long as possible and ban you for life ostensibly for violating federal paraphernalia law. Thankfully, it’s not as if PayPal has a monopoly on handling payment.
I haven't seen -C only DO-178B, though I'm told there isn't much difference. It is not a page-turner. It took me about a year to really understand it.
Seriously, this surface area should've been closed off when they broke backwards-compatibility with the Python 2 to Python 3 jump.
Yeah, you have to not violate federal law, which is the same reason people who sell glass pipes get banned from PayPal.
I like to imagine that the huge planet-sized villain from the film The Fifth Element is the physical manifestation of giving one’s self over fully to the programming style of indisciminantly mixing side-effectful and I/O operations into arbitrary code whenever it’s locally convenient to do so.

Sure. It just starts to feel like it's pointless when no matter what you do the protection is so inadequate. Medical identity theft is among the most nightmarish to deal with because the identity thief's records are protected by HIPAA so it is difficult to even figure out what you're being charged for.
What's with all the shills and bots in here? PayPal is a private company it's perfectly within their rights to not do business with someone, it's not censorship.
All you said is that racism has a basis in reality- you didn't give anything specific to argue against. Why don't you let us all know what issues you think get labelled as "racism" that have a basis in reality? Tell us what racist things you believe if you're looking or people to argue against it.

Quad socket R1 (LGA 2011) supports
Intel® Xeon® processor E7-8800 v4/v3,
E7-4800 v4/v3 family (up to 24-Core)

Up to 12TB DDR4 (128GB 3DS
LRDIMM); 96x DIMM slots (8x memory
module boards: X10QBi-MEM2)

AFAIK the latest Skylake Xeons ("Scalable" - Platinum/Gold/Silver/Bronze) have regressed to 1.5TB support, see https://ark.intel.com/products/93794/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E7... http://www.colfax-intl.com/nd/downloads/Intel-Xeon-Scalable-... corroborated by https://ark.intel.com/products/120502/Intel-Xeon-Platinum-81...

Since a single 128GB stick costs about 2900 USD, 96 of them will run to ~280 000 USD plus the server so it's likely to be above 300 000K.

If you want to go with 6TB "only" then it's a lot, lot cheaper as 64GB RDIMM sticks can be had below 700 USD. The end result might cost closer to a third of the 12TB server than half of it.

ZeroNet's UI is surprisingly excellent. It feels extremely polished and has numerous applications already. It should be much more popular than it is. I'm afraid I don't know much about how anonymous it is, though.
Its paypal business who they do business with but it shows a very low threshold on the integrity of their service. They may not like what he says or what's he generally about(I am not a fan of him) but he's not doing anything illegal. If I was in working in a business they were not a fan of(who knows?), I would definitely be looking for other options.

They have a history of doing this sort of thing and they have known to be less than righteous. It's really discerning that a money handler can do something like this at their whim.

I haven't had great experiences doing typical business with them.
Are you saying spreading hate speech a protected class now?
Not everyone is shill or a bot. I neither support nor critique their decision. They are entitled to make this decision. I just believe this is dangerous precedence to set and can open whole lot of can of worms.

The goal is that everything in the core is pure data types and functions. Now, depending on your problem domain, your core can be small or huge compared to the shell. Your question was all about IO/effects. They are impure and belong to the shell. If what you work on does mostly IO then you will have a lot of impure code lying around by definition. Still, the idea is that you should keep the amount of time spent in impure land minimal, ie. drop into pure structures/computation as soon as possible during program execution and only dip out of on occasions when you have to do IO.

Here is a good talk about these ideas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=US8QG9I1XW0
I disagree, although it's possible I only disagree with how you've phrased it.

Monadic interfaces in the context of non-deterministic effects are a consolation prize. They represent a way to combine effectful code, but ideally your code would have almost no effects at all.

As far as I can tell, the idealized version of this talk is a batch interface: one effect to grab all the data you need, transform the data, and then one effect to "flush" the transformed data (where flush could mean to persist the data in a database, send it out as commands to control a robot, etc).

Tracking side effects in your types (maybe what you were going for?) is helpful for measuring to what degree your code fails to adhere to this idealized model. If most of your code has an effect type, that's probably a sign to refactor. It also keeps you honest as to the infectious nature of effectful code by propagating the type as necessary.
Bullshit. Paypal drops merchants for arbitrary reasons all of the time. They've been doing it for over a decade.

I agree. Which is why I pointed out the silly hypocrisy of fixating on farebox recovery.
Is it not bizarre?
Does this mean the text examples the AI learns from are biased and as such it learns to be biased too?

So it's not giving us objetive decisions, but a mirror. Not so bad either.

I think there's a substantial moral difference between (1) a business discriminating against members of a sexual minority, and (2) a business discriminating against a dogwhistling conspiracy theorist.
You're saying this as if their package manager isn't still garbage.
> there is a totalitarian government in some banana republic that forces these companies (who are already global) not to support dissidents of it's regime in order to operate in their countries, what moral high ground will they take?

I mean, I get your point, but doesn't the US do this exact thing? Forcing companies not to do business with what it considers to be dissidents in foreign countries (ones that just happen to not align with its interests...)
Literally anything written in Haskell. When you write stateful code in Haskell (such as code that reads from a database, makes a network call, or does IO, to use your examples), that code will be wrapped in a Monad. Thus the type signature of the code shows that it's stateful code, and Haskell's type checker will ensure that any code that calls it also has a stateful type. For example, if a function takes in an `Int` and returns an `Int`, and along the way may directly or indirectly perform IO, that function will have type `Int -> IO Int`.

Now of course, you don't have to cleanly separate a functional core from a stateful shell. But if you don't, all of your code is going to end up wrapped in nested Monads declaring all of the ways that it's inadvertently stateful, and that's a very painful way to program. So Haskell pushes you strongly towards having a functional core and stateful shell.

For projects written in Haskell, the wiki has a long list:

I've turned it off, but I found out that it removes a very useful feature: I can no longer set a home or work address. Why is this? You could've easily just stored those two addresses and not track everything else. They are clearly incentivizing the user to turn on activity tracking. Now instead of just typing in 'home', I have to input the entire address.
I understand you're saying it's common across several manufacturers, but you overstated it, perhaps for effect, when you said every sporty car.

I remember reading about how the Mazda Miata was tuned to have a nice exhaust note when it first came out, but that isn't what I would call fake engine noise. Conducting sound where and how desired doesn't make it fake.

> It's a high barrier to enter due to governmental regulations.

Well-designed regulations can also protect consumer choice. In europe there's SEPA and IBAN transfers between any bank, and there's plenty of those. And banks are obligated to give anyone an account.

So it would be near-impossible to shut someone down like this.
No, XSL-FO does not do formatting in the browser. It is meant to do printed page formatting. Currently the most common drivers produce PDF. But I heard, there is a LaTeX driver as well as PS.

Banks can't pick and choose like PayPal can. PayPal has gone to great lengths to avoid being classified as a bank specifically so they can avoid banking regulations, like cutting off services to people without oversight.

About damn time. There are limits to "free speech", namedly when said speech is inciting racial hatred.

And it's about time companies realize their role in actually enabling the hatred - and act upon their responsibility.
> Payment processors choosing not to do business at their whim.

Where have you been the past decade? This is nothing new, especially for Paypal. Payment processors choose not to do business at their whim, whether it's because you have too high a chargeback, you're from the wrong country, you're too troublesome or your business simply is in a category card issuers don't like.

Payment processing is an area there's never ever even been a semblance of a "neutral pipe" system.
I used to go jogging in the wee hours. There was no traffic, it was cool, and very peaceful.

But after incidents of drunk drivers, people throwing things at me from a car, the cops giving me the once-over, and once hearing a shot fired, I decided it was best to give that up and jog like a normal person.
> There's only a loose correlation between gasoline consumption and smog emissions.

For only automobiles, possibly.

But a slow and consistent increase in petroleum price incentivizes the trucking industry as well.

And, as the article points out, the trucking industry is responsible for huge pollution hotspots near the ports.
