Wow, that is an edudite reference and a flatteringly thorough translation. But, taken seriously, the comparison of anti-deplatformers (can y'all make up a catchy name?) to Milton is facile. Milton was fighting for the right to distribute his work, you're fighting for the right to be distributed by others.

I'm fully against forceably preventing folks from speaking, and support of investing in protocols so that others can voluntarily associate with them. But they can get their own damn printing press.

People doing science programming are the worst programmers in the world. The reason is that they are focused on a calculation and result, not the program. I helped a guy speed up his program once. He was sorting around 10^4 to 10^5 elements using a bubble sort (which he had reinvented).
> teen girls are often very intentional about what they're interested in and aware of the social influences behind those media products, and they deliberately use excitement and passion as the foundation for community-building and empathetic development.”

I think this is a more important part of it than the article does credit, this kind of feminized excitement is really stigmatized (hysteria)

It's like Tokyo's Haneda monorail, built out over a waterway because it was empty space.

I wouldn't knock having enough parking, but Seattle has a ridiculous number of single family residences within spitting distance of downtown. The upzoning regulation is a great first step, but is slow to roll out due to difficulties in permitting teardowns.
Commenting on cycling is always fraught but here are a couple of observations. The population of NYC is 10x that of the city of Copenhagen. The population density of Manhattan is approximately 6x that of Copenhagen (corrected from earlier mistake). Solutions that work in small European cities do not necessarily scale in a manner that would be useful in other international metropolitan cities. Cycling advocates often point to successes in Northern European cities that represent entire different transportation landscapes from other larger cities around the world.
They do that and have done it all the time and it's called grey literature: self-publications with dubious peer-reviewing policies, that are prone to fraud and corruption.

In most cases grey literature will nowadays count against you if you apply somewhere, but there are quite a few countries and professors who made their careers with it in some less acclaimed universities during the 70s and 80s.

As I laid out in another post (see above), unfortunately you cannot just start some open access journal and expect it to have a reputation as good as a journal that exists for more than a hundred years. It takes several decades of 95% rejection rate and rigorous editorial work to build up that reputation.

Still, it's the right way to go in the long run, new open access journals open all the time and some have good editorial boards. It just can't happen overnight and for young researchers like me in my area, there is currently no alternative to also publishing in closed journals. It's either publish in those journals, or give up any prospects of making a career in academia.

That's why the current EU open access policies are, as noble as they seem, quite problematic and have a potential to destroy many promising careers within the next 5-10 years.

It isn't that different. If you want to go into management consulting or investment banking (the most "elite" career paths out of college if you want to pursue business) then to even have a chance to apply you have to go to a school with on-site interviews to those companies, which is basically limited to Ivy league + MIT + Stanford + a select few top public schools and liberal arts colleges.
The problem with open access is that typically you, as an author, get a choice:

- assign copyright to the publisher, have your work paywalled and pay for the access to it via exorbitant subscription fees the university pays

- ask for having it available as open access - and then the publisher charges you thousands of USD/Euro ($4000 is common) for the privilege as a condition of having it published.

Very few university departments can afford to pay such fees so you can guess where the papers end up.

And if you mean open access journals that don't demand these fees - well, that's of little use to an average researcher when their career depends on peer reviewed publications in reputable journals. Publishing it wherever, in a journal nobody heard about with who knows who doing the reviews has zero value and you won't get any credit for that.

Agreed. I deleted the Starbucks app from my iPhone because Starbucks decided to use spam notifications. Same for 9to5 Mac.

Ditto for the New York Times, my local media, and even the BBC.

I just want an app that will send me notifications about breaking news. Breaking news that is actually important breaking news, and not "See our profile of some celebrity you don't give a crap about in tomorrow's New York Times!"

Sadly, the only news app I have left that's permitted to access notifications is Sky News. And even it spams on occasion. But it seems to be only around once or twice a month.

The totality of the public space being private property in the aforementioned scenario sounds like a unique situation and a poor position to reason from.

Really? Because most of YouTube and Facebook very much strikes me as public space. That's how the population thinks of it. That's how society uses it.

You would be protecting a wholly imaginary free speech interest while trespassing on a real one.

Does anyone really think that YouTube not getting to censor people is hampering YouTube's ability to express their political expression? No one in 2018 mistakes a random YouTuber's opinion for YouTube's. Only people interested in silencing others hold to such an opinion. Such an opinion only makes sense, if you directly equate censorship to "expression."

YouTube does have an editorial stake to the product that they can present to their advertiser customers. However, YouTube has stepped way beyond that line! The same goes for Facebook.

I have a big problem with this whole voting discussion right now, and that problem is fear, blame and shame being used to get people to vote.

What about asking them to vote?

How about there being something positive, compelling to vote for?

The whole frame is odd. Votes are expected, but not required, yet we tell people they have to vote whether or not they find their vote meaningful.

No confidence, opposed to policy visions on the table is a completely valid position to take.

For others, who may be impacted in a negative way to blame people already being impacted in a negative way for refusing to approve or consent, validate more of the same happening is pretty fucked up.

Why are we not having a discussion about why people are not voting in large numbers and what would bring them out to vote for?

Vote against is dominant right now. While that does tend to give us a way to move away from the worst, it does not give us a way to move toward better, just less worse.

Do not get me wrong, I have a full ticket vote lined up.

But, I am doing OK too. I have a clear vote againat argument to work with.

An awful lot of Americans do not. That simply is not clear to them, or it simply is not true.

I will point to the ever growing number of us in economic trouble as to why.

Seems to me leadership is not performing for way too many.

Debate that all you want. I may even agree with you.

It isnt about us. It is all about those people who have had enough, who do not experience the motivation to vote.

Slapping them with fear, blame and shame hardly seems productive.

I know how I respond to those things, and it is not pretty. How about you guys?

There are people out there trying to advance vote for, more positive politics. I think they are onto something personally.
You came up with the name, and you also paid for the domain.

I like how most of the configuration in this setup is very similar to how I configured systems as far back as mid-nineties. Most applications have a simple single config file, and a single responsibility, true to Unix' philosophy. My window manager needs haven't really changed during all this time. Add a nice launcher that indexes your system and you have most of everything you will need.

Er, no I wouldn't. Nobody is claiming that that forms part of an open hardware definition.

And yes, PSU vendors aren't advertising their products as open hardware. I'm aware of this. So people shouldn't be making out that this PSU is open hardware. It isn't. Whether or not people are fine with that is up to them. Personally PSUs are on the bottom of my list for things to care about the openness of.

Root | Columbus, OH | Full-time | Onsite | $80k-$150k | https://root.engineering

Root is an auto insurance carrier, like GEICO and Progressive. We use data science to identify and insure good drivers, reducing insurance premiums for good drivers significantly as a result.

We're a startup — we’ve been working on this since March 2015 and things have been going very well for us. We've built an iOS and Android app that gathers data on how well people drive. We use that to set insurance prices. To build the best possible product and user experience, we went through the arduous process of starting an insurance carrier from scratch.

We're focused on becoming a national insurance carrier and are now live in 20 states.

We’ve raised around $178M in VC and have around 215 employees. We’re looking for more talented engineers to join us.

Tech stack involves Ruby / Rails and Javascript / React Native, but we’d love to connect regardless of your experience with our stack.

Email us at chris.evans@joinroot.com to apply and we'll respond to you promptly.
Is there a solid argument for not having more regulation on these organizations? We have so much regulation on slot machines and casinos for example because we know that a lot of money passes through there and there's high potential for money laundering. Why not have strong regulations around voting systems too? We know that if voting systems are compromised the impact could be devastating to the entire country - far more critical to America's security and continuity than regulation in many other industries.

I just don't get the opposition to that. It seems like it's in everyone's best interest (those that are honest and are looking for a fair foundation to build from that is).
Lol, really?

All propaganda, or just some specific kinds?
When corrected for all factors there is no pay inequality.

In some instances, such as Hooters waitresses and associate lawyers, women earn slightly more.

You can search for "pay inequality myth" and figure out which argument makes the most sense. Both sides are presented in the search engine I used.

Myself, I think that the issue that pay varies specifically because of the choices that are made is very valid.
GraphQL's main advantage is better efficiency network-wise, as you only make one request to get all your data instead of several which is usually the case with REST when you have to fetch related resources.

If you're targeting a mobile app, GraphQL can be a good option. If your API is purely for server-to-server communication, then don't bother; it's extra complexity for pretty much no gain.
Assume innocence over guilt, assume guilt over innocence; false positives or false negatives. Where burden of proof stands depends on the kind of error you're attempting to minimize.

In this case I don't think it's warranted to try and minimize the rate of error of accidentally not trusting even if you have had some trust before. It's because security is a hard, induction-based problem. You counter it with vigilance in the long-run. Ignoring local rumors with high potential impact adds up.

Additionally unless you truly believe you can't be impacted by privacy theft or think your actions are so petty that they would never be useful to analyze by a bad actor; or, you additionally have Apple stock or some equivalent stake, I don't know why you wouldn't be willing to distrust vehemently. To me it seems like accidentally being wrong about Apple is not worse than any of those things.
You're speaking as if these groups are working to amend the Constitution. It's a ridiculous comparison.

Worse yet, all this anger is a massive distraction. We should be talking day and night about the rampant voter suppression and e-voting security flaws that do actually pose an existential threat to our democracy. But no, let's just focus all our attention on Gab for weeks on end.
Inside the beltway is very different from outside the beltway.
DCA is slot controlled so the slot owners are going to have to weigh the revenue of SEA/DCA vs all the other markets they’re currently using those slots for. One business often isn’t going to bring enough revenue to compete with a market like BOS/DCA or NYC/DCA which consumes an enormous amount of the slots.
Yes, most certainly. Best way is to look at cloud technologies used today: AwS, Google Cloud, Azure. Cloudflare's tech blog is also very good.

One growth area is cloud gaming. And I think "virtual desktops" in general may finally gain some consumer traction and scale pretty soon.

Naturally this leads to an interest in Decentralized Applications as it represents an opportunity to re-build the Web.

Jensen says that belittling
adults for reading
"Twilight" or other young
adult literature is
“connected to the idea that
work/creative pursuits with
an intent to reach teens or
children is feminine.” She
also points out that women
who write the genre are
frequently overlooked while
men are celebrated.

JK Rowling wrote Harry Potter, which are literally the most popular young adult books of all time, right?

This article just seems like much ado about nothing, people make fun of everything that isn’t something they like. Seeing a bunch of girls screaming at a concert is a little scary. Going to an evangelical church makes me feel the same sort of creeped out feeling, when people engage in “worship” which consists of listening to music and swaying and crying and all this weird stuff. I think I’d get a lot more flak for busting out my old Eminem albums than I would if my sister busted out her old *NSYNC stuff.

They are not blocking them indefinitely (or at all). I think it's not correct to even call this "blocking".

Basically they are mitm-ing to factually explain the situation at hand and then they offer the users to go-ahead with visiting Elsevier if they want to.

Apple is a closed ecosystem, so the OS that Apple builds is what goes into the end device. Android is open so manufacturers have the ability to add other privileged processes in addition to what is shipped with the default OS. These processes can monitor other processes and kill them in such a way that they can't wake up or display notifications until they are opened once by the user. These processes are usually added to extend battery life and make the device more responsive by limiting background applications.
Teenage boys are also mocked for their obsessions, ie. computer geeks etc.

Has anyone used this to verify any significant (or insignificant) real world software? Like programs or libraries used in production? How long did it take? How hard was it?
I don't. The isp is forced to censor, so they choose to also censor the entity that abused the system.

This is no surprise, it was always going to be Virginia, or somewhere else in the east coast tech corridor. The whole "city competition" has been a grand scheme by Amazon to get cities (mostly those in the aforementioned area) to offer incentives to move there. No other states were ever in the running.
I think you're confused, and that the precedent works in the opposite direction. See, for instance, Hudgens v NLRB. What may have you scrambled is decisions from other countries, or decisions that public officials operating pages under color of office on social networks cannot declare those pages to be private property.

If you're confident I'm wrong, can you please provide a cite?

There's Pruneyard, in California, which controls only in California and has been steadily whittled away by the California Supreme Court for decades. The trend in US law does not appear to be towards more expansive expropriation of private property to enable protest. Much more recently, Lechmere v NLRB held that private property owners can't be compelled to allow protests by non-employees (the employees of the company we're talking about have strong opinions about Gab in the direction you don't like.)
I bought a Pixel 3, which will receive 3 years of feature and security updates directly from Google. Previously I had a Pixel 1, which only received 2 years of updates, although it'll continue to receive security updates for another year. I'd prefer it if they provided support for a bit longer than that, but it's still better than what many other vendors are pushing.

The Pixel 3 is a big improvement over every other Android experience I've had, and I've been in the ecosystem since the Nexus One. It's the first Android phone I've used which actually feels like a premium phone, which is what I'd expect, considering its hefty price tag. Its camera has been called the top of the line by many reviewers. Heck, right now there's a post in the HN front page about the Pixel 3's camera [0].

Stock Android is still kinda buggy and rough around the edges in a few places, but it has definitely been improving. I've found the latest version to be much more stable and reliable, at least during the short time I've had it.

We should let the crazies advertise themselves as crazies. Bad ideas should be exposed so they can be argued down. Suppressing ideas instead of arguing just creates a Streisand Effect entrenching them. There is another comment here, where someone analyzes the Weimar Republic's actions as doing just this. The Judiciary and Law enforcement seemed biased towards one side, which increased support for the other. The legislative government seemed to support the other side, which increased support for their opponents.

The lesson of history is clear: You shouldn't let rule of law break down. Media and the judiciary should remain impartial and not push an agenda. Suppressing expression while letting the extremists commit violence in the streets just makes things far worse.
