My outside suspicion is that they are (were who knows now with the merger) waiting for Wayland to get to point they felt comfortable supporting it, that or they were waiting for the container ecosystem to stabilize enough that they felt comfortable backing their horse.

Although with the merger I'd assume it's going to be a bit longer regardless.
maybe they used it so that script kiddies can't start stealing everyone's private keys
That sounds right to me. I could see how fundamentally it would be great, but I think it's as you said.
The explanation of what each permission really does and why they are necessary are traditionally horrible, so even I, having developed a plugin once, have no clue what is reasonable and what is not.
How is a platform that let's you say anything uncensored intolerant?

That's another way to say "a platform that tolerates the intolerant" which could hardly be a better example of what Popper is talking about.

That said, the OP is also not right to suggest that intolerance is simple to identify. Like the other comments here say, it's subjective.

Then again, most things in life are subjective. Society has to be pragmatic sometimes and ignore that. Otherwise everything, eg: the legal system, falls apart.
> since obviously you can't really know what color some jacket really was.

That’s why colorizing companies employ historians and researchers. You can have a pretty accurate idea of this color with enough research, but it takes time (and thus money).
Free speech. Anonymous speech.

Doesn't require achieving a global consensus, hence we already have had Freenet for quite a while.

Still no consensus required. Cheaper version: have all parties digitally sign a file with that hash, then upload it to IPFS and share the address.
> OS definitely matters with Docker, both on the host and the container.

What OS in the container? A docker container is not a VM. Most of my containers are on the order of 10s of MB, and just contain a single binary.
Maybe in la la land where the only thing that matters is market cap or othe rmeasures that don't consider actual revenue.
Yes, but it's relatively cheap to create a new phone especially if you don't need the best specs (see all the cheap Chinese brands). The main feature of the phone needs to be that it is standardized and open. The initial market could be large.
The 9th Amendment does not mean that Twitter must allow your speech. In fact, at the time the 9th Amendment was drafted, it didn't even require the states to grant you a right to free expression; that right wasn't incorporated onto the states until Reconstruction.

So, no, not so much.
The financial incentive is much more pedestrian: hot take clickbait for struggling news organizations.
I have made career moves that I couldn't have made if my employment was the source of my family's healthcare. When it comes to actual "freedoms" this is a big one.

As a single income parent, I'd probably not be seeking out employment that I was passionate about, and would stick with what's safe.
It may be worth considering that the examples may not be as clear as their presenter might believe them to be. There may be a difference between spying on a given target and spying on a given target for a particular reason.

In general, there are two claims being made here. Claim one is that the US has spied on a series of corporations. Claim two is that this has been done for the purposes of economic gain. The truth of claim one makes it possible for claim two to be true, but a cautious reader might note that what is possible and what is certainly true can at times be different.

Not to wax cynical, but Ms. Rousseff's claim that there's no possible other reason to spy on Petrobras is not credible. Not because she was clearly lying (I cannot begin to evaluate that), but because there's no reasonable world in which she understood all possible aspects of the decision-making process that produced that spying.

Given the type of corruption that Petrobras has been involved in, spies could have been pursuing a financial trail. This is not a certainty, of course, but it is sufficiently plausible that it's impossible to be certain that the NSA could only have been active there for purposes of industrial espionage.
I feel similar. Espeically when you do desktop development it's hard to avoid being cynical about any Microsoft "innovation".
Wonder how many people stay subscribed tho? And also what's the click through rate on the newsletter for subscribers? (And how that compares to the "shiny" landing pages)
The screen adaptations of Gordon Gecko, Patrick Bateman and Jordan Belfort's stories make me think that a lot changes between the time production starts on a screenplay and when the cinema reels roll off the assembly lines.

Studio execs do test screens and decide to glamorize the debauchery to extreme levels and give it tons of screen time, because "that's what the people want".

So at the end of the movie, you no longer merely empathize with the antagonist, but end up idolizing him. Why else do college bros know the "Greed is Good" speech by heart? Or Bateman's opening monologue in his apartment?
Unless you have a preexisting condition. Yeah, it's expensive now, but it's a much more improved situation when the insurance companies can't say no (and the alternatives that have been proposed, like high risk pools, have so far been trash in terms of quality of lifetime care compared to current status quo)
> And the interesting thing about LSD is that I didn't have to do it every night. I did it one time and it changed how I viewed the world. It wasn't a crutch, it just re-arranged how I saw things.

This is one of the most scary things I have read. What if you got lucky in that it was beneficial for you? For all we know it could have easily gone the other way where just that single dose on that single night could have permanently ruined your life. Persistent effects of drugs after a single use are a terrifying phenomenon.
Jeftovic here.

I actually wasn't aware of many things you cite above, having cursorily examined, then abandoned Gab I never followed their twitter feed, etc.

Without having seen any of that myself, I wrote the article extending a certain benefit of the doubt, trying to look at it from a neutral (ostensibly) vendor vantagepoint.
I like this bit:
"In the LOGO environment new ideas are often acquired as a
means of satisfying a personal need to do something one could not
do before. In a traditional school setting, the beginning student encounters
the notion of variable in little problems such as:
5 + X = 8. What is X?
Few children see this as a personally relevant problem, and even
fewer experience the method of solution as a source of power. They
are right. In the context of, their lives, they can't do much with it.
In the LOGO encounter, the situation is very much different. Here
the child has a personal need: To make a spiral. In this context the
idea of a variable is a source of personal power, power to do something
desired but inaccessible without this idea. Of course, many
children who encounter the not~ion of variable in a traditional setting
do learn to use it effectively. But it seldom conveys a sense of
"mathpower," not even to the mathematically best and brightest.
And this is the point of greatest contrast between an encounter
with the idea of variables in the traditional school and in the
LOGO environment. In LOGO, the concept empowers the child,
and the child experiences what it is like for mathematics to enable
whole cultures to do what no one could do before."
I would be interested to hear more about how you overcome these cases when you do not have enough samples to train on. This seems like a useful area to improve upon.
I do not disagree with my own country laws or government I migrated because I was getting better pay in other country.

On brexit for me it is more of a statement that politicians are corrupt and you have to make that statement. It is important and sometimes you have to loose some money or comfort to make important statement.

Salaries and pensions being transparent is nothing special. It goes about connections, you are with us then you will get that transparent salary. You are against then we will make sure you are not going to have it. If you are in inner special circle you will get participation in special fund for inner circle people which is not transparent. This way that kind of transparency doe not matter.

Democracy not working, simple to prove, how many politicians that are in it for 10 or 20 years you know. I see plenty, it is not democracy where someone from street can build up party. There is caste system in place and you can choose only from people who are involved in the system. They protect each other as long as they can because if one loses other will held them back.

I understand there always will be 'ruling caste' but problem is they should be not insanely stupid, greedy, and having lives of normal folks as nothing. I have nothing against people being more rich than me, but there are some boundaries.
> Mutual aid ought be a founding principle of any society.

The fact that the US has the same principles already in place (MedicAid, MediCare, veterans...) shows that it is not a matter of your society's helpfulness but a matter of your society's institutions that block reform out of self-interest.
I wasn't arguing against them being innovative, I was pointing out that they are definitely also a landlord.

Not a good defense of amoral behavior.
... not a physicist here, but I do research on applied information theory and statistics. This grandfather's paper is sort of interesting to me because it starts to creep into some of my areas of expertise a tiny bit, but he seemed to be approaching it from a totally different perspective (of a physicist) that I'm less familiar with. I kind of so far seem to fall in the camp of "I kind of get what he's talking about but he's not quite connecting the dots, or isn't explaining himself well or something."

To answer your question: in some cases, transferring probabilistic reasoning about discrete states to continuous states, or vice versa, is sort of trivial. But sometimes it becomes somewhat controversial, and often this is because it's unclear how the scale of information maps onto the scale of data, to put it murkily. When it's discrete, you know your observations have specific possible values, which in itself is a chunk of information. But when it's continuous, you have an infinite range of values, and what constitutes "indifference" can be unclear.

Think of a scale (like a kitchen or bathroom scale), for example. The scale will have a certain accuracy within a certain range, and as you go further outside that range, the accuracy will decrease further and further. So, to make an analogy with the water-and-wine paradox, let's say I tell you "here's this container of walnuts, that could be anywhere from 0 to 100kg. What's the probability its mass as measured on this scale is in a certain range?" What would be adhering to the principle of indifference? You could argue it would be a uniform distribution over the numbers from 0 to 100, but you could also say it's somehow uniformly distributed over the distinguishable units of the scale, which will not be uniform from 0 to 100 because the meaningfulness of the scale's numbers will be compressed in its most accurate range, and stretched in its less accurate range, and there will also be issues with machine precision, etc. If you were counting walnuts though, you've kind of implicitly fixed the scale to the nonnegative integers, and assumed your ability to count doesn't get fuzzy at some point. So you assume uniformity on one scale is uniformity on another.

E.g., if you think of Jeffreys prior as being one scaling of indifference, even with a Bernoulli variable, indifference isn't necessarily scaled as a uniform: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffreys_prior.

I think this paradox involves (along with maybe being underspecified or poorly posed) somewhat related information-scale mapping issues, about how you define uniformity and what your "possibility space is" to be sort of Jaynesian about it.
> Now that we build with small, immutable, scoped components, its trivial to drop in a new component (or remove it) from anywhere without affecting anything else.

Any suggestions for further reading on "small, immutable, scoped components" ? I'm half sure I know what you mean and entirely sure I don't understand it well enough to explain it to somebody else.

Yes, it is. The idea of the authors (and those ratifying the amendment) that a moral right to freedom of speech exists independently may be (all or part of) the reason the Constitution expressly provides and protects the legal right to freedom of speech, by the legal right is provided by the Constitution.

If I'm reading this right it's because the journey the money took while being laundered went through several US financial systems and was orchastrated by the US branch of Goldman Sachs.

If you're using .Net Core version of csproj, it's the difference between e.g. <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.1</TargetFramework> and <TargetFrameworks>net47;netcoreapp2.0</TargetFrameworks>.

I don't know if there's a good way to migrate the csprojs automatically (maybe https://github.com/hvanbakel/CsprojToVs2017?), but it shouldn't be that hard manually (by creating a new project), assuming you have just a few projects to migrate.
Well said. There were numerous reports of insiders cheering and feeling reinforced after watching that movie in theaters. Whereas the public, by only their sensibilities, saw the ill effects of that kind of business.
Fair enough on the phrasing, but when I say "I believe", I mean to say that I reason that isthe truth but like to try to remain modest and not throw around very bold claims.

Is it perfect? Is it great (considering current legal realities etc.)? Can it be used by everyone on the globe? Currently the answer to all three is "no", but it has a non-negligible chance to improve in all these aspects.
This is quite interesting!

The pictures were basically perfect to myeyes, until I scrolled down to the "gotchas" section, at which point I started to notice a lot of details that are wrong, mostly fading colors, on clothes or otherwise.

Now, there seems to be a distinct loss of details in the restored images. The network being resolution-limited, is the black-and-white image displayed at full resolution besides the restored one?

What I would like to see is the output of the network to be treated as chrominance only.

Take the YUV transform of both the input and output images, scale back the UV matrix of the restored one to match the input, and replace the original channels. I'd be really curious to look at the output (and would do it myself if I was not on asmartphone)!

Nevertheless, that's some awesome work, and I can't wait to see where it goes!

The apple watch 3 was probably the 3g moment. It's the best selling watch in the world. They're probably mostly limited by the requirement of owning an iphone.
I was going to give a lecture across several departments about my PhD research in bioinformatics. The night before the talk I was generating some new figures and saw something weird, which led to me digging through source code and discovering a bug which invalidated the last 18 months of research and all my conclusions. I went to my advisor with this problem and he told me to present it anyways. I refused. I suffered consequences for that, including getting stonewalled by my advisor whenever I tried to publish a paper. I wish I had actually been in a position to refuse.

The point is not that the extremism on one end cancels out extremism on the other. The point is, it is possible to tolerate both - there is no paradox of tolerance with respect to speech.

As to your second point, the suppression of speech also has dangerous consequences. Plenty of anti-Semitic thought is rooted in the belief of Jewish control of the media. Suppressing speech probably only serves to reinforce this view.

The reality is that intolerance of hateful speech rarely makes hate go away. Remember, high ranking Nazi leaders were imprisoned, and Völkischer Beobachter (a prominent Nazi publication) was repeatedly banned and had it's offices raided. It didn't stop the spread of Nationalist Socialism. Some historians believe this suppression only accelerated it's rise. It's like the Streisand effect on a political scale.

Aside from instances where the suppression of speech is nearly certain to avoid negative consequences (like specific threats, conspiracy to commit crimes, divulging official secrets or classified information) it is not wise to suppress it. And this doesn't even touch on people attempting to use accusations of hate speech as a political tool (e.g. the "blue lives matter" laws not-so-subtly aimed at suppression of BLM).
In a 32-bit processes, yes. You would expect differently?
You're welcome!

One last tip... If you build this way, it will write everything to /nix/store, but it won't install it into your local profile. However, the 'nix-build' process creates a 'result' symlink in your project directory which points at the package you just built. So Calling 'nix-env -i ./result' ought to install it into your profile as well.
I'm certainly not blaming you for not being up-to-date on the antics of the Gab team! That's not a reasonable ask of anybody.

It's also trickier to bring yourself up-to-date, because Gab deleted a bunch of their worst tweets after the shooting and their subsequent media martyrdom. They don't even have the courage of their own convictions. But there are screenshots of these tweets (all of which depict tweets I saw on Twitter myself), and you can find them on HN in the search bar (or save yourself some time and just take my word for it).

And again: I'm not telling you that the fact that Gab itself is openly white supremacist means you have to support their loss of access to FRAND terms for the Internet's most popular providers. I do, but I understand that reasonable people disagree on this.
Visual Studio depends heavily on WPF and COM. I don't think it's going to be running on Linux anytime soon.
That was 4 years ago, so that was probably as reasonable an amount of memory as 8 GB is today. And the Macbook Airs start at a 1.6 GHz dual core, so Apple isn't above using slower processors in new products. It'll work fine for some people.

The SSD is non-negotiable today though, I'll give you that one.

> Spare me the tired arguments that these private companies have a right to not serve customers at will. That seems like self-serving cherry-picking, when in other situations the same folks would be against granting freedom of association.

Some people's hypocrisy doesn't undermine the core principle of freedom of association. The more abusive the big players become, the more incentive there is for people to use alternatives. Getting the government involved will slow that process and, inevitably, have unforeseen negative consequences.

> And we should not patronize such businesses.

I agree, and that is the best solution.
> that right wasn't incorporated onto the states until Reconstruction.

Much later, actually; while the Supreme Court grounded incorporation in the Due Process clause of the 14th Amendment, which was part of Reconstruction, the doctrine of incorporation was articulated and developed in the 20th Century, starting, IIRC, with Gitlow v. New York in 1925.

Writing test cases with given, when and then. What do you think?
They do do this. There's a "Model A####"included in the tiny text on the back of iOS devices, and on the underside of laptops.
I can certainly believe that there are plenty of people that try to manipulate the stock price, but most Apple haters aren't playing the stock market.

By far the most common cause of Apple hate I see is what appears to be consumers who are essentially disgruntled that none of Apple's products are targeted at their own use case: eg. gamers who always decried the Mac Pro because they wanted a cheap traditional desktop, not a workstation; or people who wish Apple was competing in the $500 laptop market, or the 8+lbs mobile workstation or gaming laptop market. A large portion of complaints about Apple hardware being overpriced can be traced back to misunderstandings about what Apple's actually selling and how it differs from the Dell that somebody tries to compare it to. (Of course, there are plenty of things that Apple does over-charge for.)

Next most common are probably the people who despise the "walled garden". They're quite vocal in these parts of the web, but I doubt they outnumber the previous category of Apple detractors.
