While "Tumblr is for porn" seems to be received wisdom, let me play devil's advocate (angel's advocate?): most of us are just taking that for granted without digging in.

In 2016, Motherboard actually did the digging, and discovered a few interesting numbers, categorizing 130M Tumblr users into "producers" of porn, "consumers" (those who follow the producers), and "unintentionally exposed" users who don't follow porn producers but see reblogs from them.

* Only about 1% of users are producers.
* About 22% of Tumblr users are consumers.
* About 28% of Tumblr users are unintentionally exposed.

So, what happens?

* Obviously, they lose the producers.
* They lose some of the consumers, but not all. (Not all of the consumers are there exclusively for porn.)
* They lose some of the unintentionally exposed, but probably not most.

They may lose a quarter or more of their userbase this way, sure, but Tumblr's estimates a few years ago for their total user count were over 200M. Maybe that drops down to "only" 150M, or even 100M. But now their hosting costs have dropped dramatically, too. So if advertising revenue increases or even stays the same as it is now, they win. And 100M users is absolutely a big enough audience to bring in advertisers.

To me, "Content" implies stuff you uploaded directly, being the source yourself.

You'll sometimes see someone tag a picture post, if they tag it at all, if it's something the blogger actually created themselves with #oc for "original content" or they'll just tell you as much in the caption. Not always, but sometimes.

I'm not on tumblr for the porn (I read it for the articles, I swear), but a lot of the mechanisms and meta-memes of how people use the platform are pretty consistent across subgroups.

Brompton are doing an electric folding bike
And we've got some quite famous statements from quite a few of them that they knew quite well, and felt the full weight of what they were doing.

I would presume because they weren't sold the idea that what they were doing had any other express intent-purpose or plausible outcome for use even used by the people they worked for, which alone I think warrants a different group to compare this situation to.
Wow. If this had happened a couple years ago, before they made all the anonymous entries truly anonymous, this would have been really ugly.

It's a valuable lesson in "don't keep data you don't need".

EDIT: A little backstory for non-Quorans. Until early 2017, anonymous Quora answers and comments were anonymous to the public but not actually anonymous in the database (they were still "your" entries). In early 2017 they (presciently) made all this content fully anonymous, even in the database.

As an old Lisp user, I am impressed by Flux (which I started using this weekend, after someone on HN recommended Flux to me) as transforming Julia, like building Lisp up to a new language for whatever problem you are working. I also appreciate how incredibly easy it was to get started with Flux which ‘just worked’ with CUDA 10 and the GPU in my laptop and the model zoo was great to get started. Really quality stuff!

> Brainwashing doesn’t work.

It looks like there is ample evidence to the contrary. The fact that it doesn't work on you is great but the number of cults out there that have successfully managed to co-opt large numbers of otherwise pretty intelligent people (and let's not get started on religion) and that have managed to get these people to act against their self interest, to harm people they loved and to do things they would never ever do under normal circumstances is proof positive that brainwashing does in fact work.

To say that they 'change their own minds' is victim blaming of the very worst sort.

Groups and pressure from groups on an individual are extremely effective means to get people to conform. The need to belong is extremely strong and a very powerful button to press and all kinds of groups have abused this and other psychological levers to gain power over others.

So yes, online subcultures which consist of large number of individuals are able to influence other individuals. They have a collective memory and they act as emergent structures that have a lot more power than each individual.

Your personal experience is - unfortunately - not a very good guide for this.
Keep in mind the next recession may very well not have anything to do with real estate.

> Within 10 years the majority of the US federal budget will go to paying INTEREST on our debt

All the Federal Reserve has to do is buy US treasures on the open market at higher and higher prices. A premium on a bond pushes the yield lower. Yields at 0% means that the US will not be paying interest on its [new] debt. Yields at negative means that investors will be paying the US.

People and entities buying US treasury bonds is why they yield 2-ish percent right now at all, instead of say 5%.

Regarding 0% rates, the Bank of Japan has already done this with Japanese government treasuries, for a very long time

Regarding negative rates, the European Central Bank has already done this with its constituent country's government bonds, for several years. Primarily German bonds.

The US can do this with more efficacy than those economies, whenever it chooses to do so. Right now, the US Central Bank chooses to raise rates and the US Treasury continues to issue more debt at the higher rates for reasons unrelated to its budget, to be honest just because the market can bear it. The Federal Reserve chooses to have less dubious assets on its balance sheet.

Everything is done in a form of moderation, but the US has a lot of tools to deal with its debt.
That C pointers have a type which is used for checking, semantics of memory access and arithmetic falls into a category that I like to call requirements, whereas I use the word implementation detail for something like how many bits are in a pointer, and do pointers to bytes have the same representation as pointers to wider types. (These are also requirements, but ones an implementation can vary.)

I accept your terminology, though. Let the key features of C be called "implementation details". Then, if the goal is to teach C, it is "implementation details" we must teach.

(In any case, the students are probably eager to learn implementation details in the regular sense also, otherwise they would have been satisfied with their Python or Javascript class.)

If what you really mean is that we should teach C by instead teaching the architecture of a machine, whereby C is treated as just a notation for manipulating that machine, and concepts like the type system are considered annoying/distracting details in that notation, then I strongly disagree. Even if it is easier to teach that way, and the students eagerly absorb and regurgitate the simplified misconceptions, they are ill served.

Everything you said could apply equally well to cars.

Especially "the result for those of us who don't use them is garbage some random company(and individuals) feels entitled to clutter up the sidewalks(streets) with".

Also, what does private enterprises have to do with any of this? If anything I think there's a stronger argument the other way. Things that are owned by and only benefit a single person (e.g. driving my car and then leaving it parked on the street all day) is a worse use of space than things that are useful to many people (e.g. a Zipcar that gets frequent use, or, yes, scooters).

I hope you can recognize that your stated arguments here are not very honest, and that what you're actually saying is "I like privately owned cars so I want cities to prioritize them over other modes of transportation like scooters".
I am a frequent user of lime bikes. I think they have a few drawbacks that make them difficult to use all the time however. Mostly:

1. Consistently Well Working Bikes can be hard to find

2. I often use these to get from the residential part of Seattle to the urban parts for date night... it can be very difficult to find two of these near each other.

3. They really need some sort of limited reservation system. This would help mitigate the difficulty of getting multiple bikes.
Flutter, out of Google is a solution for iOS and Android cross-platform development that includes very fast UI primitives, a edit and continue workflow, intuitive and reactive UI framework, and a nicer high-level language to work with than C++ (Dart).
I've used a bike for my primary transportation for the last 15 years. I'm not sure if your points are all real, or just what you imagine would be blocks. Let's go through some!

- I live in a 570ft studio so storage space is limited. We have bike storage in my building, but it's $15 a month.

Hang the bike up with a hook.

- If I go somewhere and bring the bike with me, I have to bring it back. If it starts raining, I can't just choose to leave the bike and take an Uber home.

They make clothes specifically to be worn in the rain. Getting a little wet won't hurt ya.

- I travel a lot and have been in 4 major cities this week. Having a bike at home helps there, but doesn't solve any problems in the other cities. Sharing services are great for visitors.

That, I agree! Goodness, that's a lot of traveling.

- Living in a major city, bike theft is a huge problem. By using shared bikes, I don't have to worry about that.

I must be lucky, because I've never had a bike stolen.

- On top of it all, Lime/Bird is just cheaper. I really only use one once every week or two. I've probably spent less that $30 this year on Lime/Bird. Even if I got a bike for free and it never needed any maintenance a decent U lock would cost more than that.

I guess I see the costs saving are from not owning a car. Haha, and I guess, not really needed a gym membership!

Doesn't seem like every breach warrants someone to get fired. The Equifax breach makes sense, there was an obvious lack of due diligence to protect user's data. But we should wait to see the reason for the breach. Mistakes can happen even if the company was trying to protect user's data.
Hopefully no one, yes. You have likely written a security vuln. The smugness just doesn't go away till you realize it.
I still think you're missing the point here. Nobody disputes Google search results will be more useful than Baidu results. We all know Google is a good search engine. The point is that the benign "99%" of searches do not justify the huge negative consequences of the 1% of search censorship and association with identity and profiting from chilling of that speech. Also even framing the debate this way undermines the real ethical challenges of doing this.

The major technical problem is that search results are associated with individuals (through phone number and maybe other indicators) which means they can be incorporated into social score or otherwise facilitate automated targeting of citizens. It does not require individual targeting because simply attempting to use Google to find out what "Human Rights" are could negatively impact your standing in China.

You can justify the negative consequences by saying research may be a bit easier to perform but it won't help the people that are harmed directly by Google building this platform.

This says nothing of Google directly contradicting their own guidelines for AI development and their stated mission of Do No Evil(tm).

Insiders may benefit from thinking like outsiders from time to time. You are right about one thing, Google insiders will benefit from this product much more than outsiders.

So I'm not a security expert, so I ask this in real earnest to learn: what is it that these companies keep doing wrong, and/or why aren't they adjusting to the climate that these types of attacks are increasing over time?

Or are they trying to adjust, and the attacks are getting so sophisticated that the pace of investment in counter-measures is below that of the pace of advancement in the complexity of attacks?

Or something in the middle?
2.32% / 4.

And hopefully that answers your second question as well.

The rate is annualized, meaning the profit if you held the bond for 1 year.

So a 3 year bond at 2.32% pays a 2.32% annual interest rate. Interest payments are made twice a year. A 5 year bond at 2.32% pays the same rate of return — 2.32% interest per year, but in that case guaranteed to continue paying at the same rate for 5 years instead of 3.

The rate is the annual rate. The term is for how long interest payments are made and how long until the bond “matures” — when the face value is paid back.

If people think rates are going to go down in the future, then they will accept a slightly lower rate if it is locked in for a longer term, which is the idea behind the “inversion”.
Not to mention $200+ to own a bike may not seem like a lot to you, but could be a lot to someone with low income. The capex cost can be prohibitive.

Compared to a car, it's very cheap.
