One would assume that "Cryptography Research Group" at Microsoft would include some word class cryptographers and I would think its okay for Cryptographers to roll their own Crypto or there wont be any progress. Their work is open source so their peers in industry and academia can actually review.
I'd say instagram is the other big one for artists, not twitter. Instagram has all the functionality of tumblr with even more accessibility.

FTFY. Since you care so much, please grant me control over your life to approve what you consume.
They have to survive the launch through the thicker part of the atmosphere, yet still be light enough to not eat into the payload much.

Made from aluminium honeycomb and carbon fiber mostly, if I remember correctly. But those things are quite large as well.
"constructive engagement" has been a farce, china has been increasingly authoritarian and abusive over the last decade, except now they have the economic weight to make it difficult to oppose.

The only thing that plan ever was, was a scam to enrich a lot of companies taking advantage of cheap labor (Who are going to get bulldozed now that China has stolen all the IP of consequence). It was never some moral stance that was going to get china to "come around" on freedom and democracy.

Just like Google's stance isn't about morality, its about making more money.
My statement is absolutely true and the fact that you see harassment and assault as such black and white things makes your ignorance clear — the fact that you had to edit my single sentence to try and make your point should have been a pretty clear sign of that.

There are physical assaults that are far less consequential than verbal assaults, that’s an indisputable fact. Anyone who has experience with victims, has been a victim _or_ even just someone who uses “logic and reason” would understand that.
I always though that this was gonna happen in the future. That someone 100 years from now will check zettabytes of videos, pictures, posts and is going to create complete profiles of everyone that has lived in our time.

Each time that you are in the background of a picture of an stranger. In the broad panoramic videos from sport stadiums. From fingerprinting you writing in all social media. From government documentation. From text of other people talking about you... all your digital traces to know who were you.

Now is happening with past pictures, even that there is no so much to mine compared with the present.
Indeed - there seems to be an absence of empirical evidence for any more specific claim than that such claims are difficult to prove.
There are, but it requires sustained international cooperation at a level rarely (if ever) seen. The arbitrary flip-flopping of US policy regarding climate change mitigation isn't helping.

The closest we have come to such a feat would be outlawing of some ozone depleting chemicals 2 decades ago. It's highly unlikely we will be able to accomplish this. Any sustained international response will undoubtedly be reactionary instead of proactive.
No. You’re a rounding error as a consumer.

If people could help engineer cheaper clean energy or more efficient air conditioning, that would help.

If you are looking for best study visa consultants in Amritsar then visit Solution Consultant for high visa success story. Our main aim is to make dreams of students and people, who intend to go to any country on student visa, come true with a proper guidance and pursuance.
Yes, this is baffling. "It's okay to say 99% of things" is like a mission statement for oppression.
The ozone hole is actually a huge success story, thanks to the collective effort of mankind we've undone the collective harm of mankind: it has started recovering.
My understanding as a software engineer: It's more of a logistical thing than a legal requirement I believe - we're a small team, so expanding into new regions brings additional overhead for the organization. That said I believe we do want to expand beyond the US in the future, so if you're interested in that sort of thing, let me find out how you can get on a mailing list to be notified when we're set up to hire in a new region.
The big growth market right now is earth observation - companies like Planet Labs that rely on low launch prices to make their "cheap" camerasats worthwhile to launch. We'll see what markets come up next.

In the short term, though, SpaceX has actually shrunk the market - there's a slowdown in the historically-dominant geostationary launch market, since there's a lead time of a few years on those big expensive satellites and all the manufacturers put plans on hold a couple of years back while they were waiting to see what would happen in the launch market. Hence it taking until December this year for SpaceX to reach its previous-year launch number - 10%-ish growth is actually very slow by SpaceX standards.

(This is also a motivation for SpaceX to play with things like running its own comsat constellation - they'll have extra capacity for the next year or two while the GEO market restabilizes.)
New Quantum Paradox Clarifies Where Our Views of Reality Go Wrong
Done it for at least 10 years, and I gotta say, as soon as I stopped, the anxiety MOSTLY went away.

That said, just the other day (after 18 months off), I twitched a bit when my text message notification went off.

And of course, it affects everyone differently.
Maybe there could be some good proxies though.
I think they play a pretty important role in protecting the payload from atmospheric drag among other things, and it needs to be pretty strong / reliable. That must add to the cost. Don't know what materials are used so can't say about material costs.
I mean if your theory is that she just randomly picked someone from Romney's shortlist of Supreme Court judges and decided to expose herself to a whole bunch of death threats, vileness, and potentially lose her job in the thought that it would discredit him I guess that's theoretically possible. It goes against logic and human nature and compared to the alternate hypothesis of a drunk teenager did something inappropriate it's very unlikely.
That is resolved with 60.x ESR. First released in the early summer and has been the default since September. 52 had no support for webextensions
Censorship is only a piece of what is disturbing too. Linking searches to personal phone numbers is way more frightening.

The articles don't say if phone number logging was only going to be done for users searching for censored keywords, or all users making any kind of search. I suspect the latter. And that is a very, very problematic.
I mean, ok, just don't come crying to everyone else about "net neutrality" when large megacorps start censoring competing services and putting your streaming traffic in the internet slow lane.

I mean, it is their service,right?
Purchasing the low-end version of the WebEx Board and paying for just one year of the subscription would cost as much as 21 HomePods, if my back-of-the envelope math works out. Not exactly a HomePod competitor...

How is this compared to pulumi k8s module?
> As for china, google can be transparent about it to the rest of the world, they are a US company.

And then Google would make enemies with the CCP, which kind of defeats the purpose of giving in to their demands for censorship and the identification of dissidents.
I am curious, Why did you need determinism?
Really, it is the modern terminology, despite being over 2000 years old. Western philosophy is built almost entirely on a sequence of ideas dating back to Plato (and ancient Greek philosophy in general). Modern philosophers analyze the key concepts identified by Plato and his peers, whether they agree with Plato (or Aristotle, or Diogenes, or other writers of the era) or not.

Modern philosophers tend to be extremely dense and difficult to read. What I'd recommend is starting from the beginning - key works of Plato, such as Apology (the trial and death of Socrates), Republic (an ideal government, and Symposium (a friendly conversation about the topics of the day). These are all quite readable and enjoyable, and frankly as good as or better than most modern works.
I think you need to stop telling Chinese people what they need. We know what we need. As long as there is still cencorship, we will always have something for the argument. More to the point, an argument is not even what we need the most right now. It is not even close to the top of the list. We need the best search engine in the world much more than an argument with the government.

Looking at your comment makes me feel that it is not the Chinese people who are afraid of "losing an argument". If anybody, it is you. You believe so deeply in the evilness of Chinese government, that you are afraid your evidences are drifting away from you.

Just a hypothesis. No offense.
‘Directed energy, microwaves can be very effective against swarm attacks’: DoD
Because the advocates of the project keep the conversation internal (and civil) instead of trying incite outrage through leaks, mobs, grandstanding, moral posturing and what not[1].

They're large or larger than a double decker bus. They're released well after first stage separation so they need to be as light as possible. Stupidly light. Despite being very large and very light, they need to be very resistant to vibration through hypersonic speeds and go through a huge range of temperatures. They need to separate reliably and equalize pressure during ascent. They look like a mere shell, but they're actually advanced composite structures with a fair amount of tech involved.
I’m not sure sure specifically which type of perks you’re referring to, but I’ve become increasingly cynical of a big chunk of perks offered tech companies. It seems a majority of them are there to keep you at the office longer and make you more dependent on the company. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee, gym, ping pong table, snacks...

It’s fun and all, but I’d prefer more vacation time over a ping pong table and free dinner.
No, that is not what happened. Her claims were briefly investigated, there was only one other witness, Mike Judge, and he was not questioned. No one else remembers that specific party but they all agreed that it was the kind of thing get together they would have gone too, her testimony was consistent, and lots of assault victims wait a long time before coming forward. So you managed to be wrong about everything.
I dunno man, get into politics? I don't see viable non-legislative solutions happening in the necessary time frame.
and they need to be told off. so sad I accepted so many things in my early career. now if somebody tries to put a tight deadline on me I'd be "pff nope".
If engineers fear being on call it means the software isn't properly engineered and development processes have failed. Because if a service is properly engineered to maintain availability, being on-call is a small burden because downtime is a rare occurrence.

However it's often the case that "on-call" means ship broken software and fix bugs after hours.
Google is well within their right as a US company to build whatever censored search engine they want for China. The follow on opportunities may be financially enormous. But at some point, establishing and sticking with a set of values can make or break a company’s future. Maybe not today or tomorrow but a decade down the line we may look back at some of these decisions as a tipping point. Running a company as large, powerful, and influential as Google is not easy - there are very few items which are morally black and white (e.g. choosing to work with the DOD). But this issue seems to be pretty straight forward from a moral justification standpoint. I hope Google makes the right call here.
I believe that Tolkien is one of the folks he read Old Books with.
My posting history here should reveal that I'm a Christian, I'm married, I have kids, I'll disagree with people on either side when I think they're wrong, and occasionally I can be a bit of a jerk. Oh, and I don't get FP. If any of that has an impact on my career path, well, if they're going to go through my HN posts hard enough to find some reason to not hire me, it's probably a place I don't want to work anyway.
Microsoft is already doing it. Baidu is already doing it. The practice is already normal.

I've had 2 jobs where the description had "able to work with difficult people". In hindsight, there was a very very good reason for this.
Its neat... The process not being automated was confusing for me. Good work though, it works.
We have a platform running on more than 50 servers which includes crawlers, website categorizers, entity extractors, etc. It scans about 30 millions websites (categorized as corporate websites with content in English) on a regular base. The goal is to build a structured profile for every known company website.. and repeat this process every month in order to compare historical profile and generate "transactions" like "company X changed CEO", etc...

"YouTube, for example, can show advertisements for well known companies in videos about Anti-vaccination, far-right conspiracies, etc. without consequences.

Why is that? Because all that happens in the privacy of your own computer. Usually any newspaper that publicly have printed such bullshit in their pages will be dead. Public will react to it.

What is different? Facebook, YouTube, etc. are personalized. You are shown what you are interested in without public accountability. Niche radical content gets a lot of views for its own controversial nature. Views and money.

Who wants to investigate, hire good writers and expend the money that it takes to write a good article when you can hire some one without ethics for a fraction of the price and get as many or more views as radicalization grows?

YouTube, Facebook and others say that they are not responsible of the content they offer. I think that it should be true for things like comments. But for the monetized content they are 100% responsible of incentivizing that radicalization and killing good journalism in the process. "

Tech (apps) companies cannot solve so much problems as they think. But, they can solve the problems that they have created.
“If I’m getting upset, I’m probably wrong.”

It’s a specific kind of feeling, when my brain starts protecting itself against information that proves me wrong. Kind of like a real threat. It feels like I’m under attack, and I’m losing. I get subtly upset (because I’m a know-it-all and I want to be right), which is itself quickly reframed as anger, probably by that same mechanism. Probably much easier to admit that I’m angry because of “that guy!” than that I’m gonna be a crybaby because I’m wrong. But them’s the breaks, son.

I find it hard, and I wish I could say it gets easier, but it doesn’t. It sucks being wrong, and it’s humiliating.

I’d describe it as: at any moment you feel a flare of anger, try and ask yourself, what if you were wrong? If you find it hard to even engage in the thought experiment, that’s probably it. On a normal day you’d have no problem doing it. Try it now: it’s just a thought. Try it when you’re upset: it’s practically impossible.
