Let's go with the tortured metaphor.

Popular art museums generally run with allowing entry without requiring membership. They make up for that by collecting donations or entry fee, running a comparatively expensive cafe, and ensuring everyone leaves via the gift shop. They might heavily promote, and employ people to individually sell memberships, or give free membership in exchange for monthly gift shop and offers spam. One or two might be a little too heavy handed in promoting membership over visit.

They don't plant a bug in your pocket without knowledge, or consent to learn what other art museums and galleries you are visiting to assess if they are a worthy target of restriction or takeover. They don't insist on knowing your entire contact list and SMS history just to look at the pictures. They don't ban employees of other galleries and museums from visiting. Not least because 9 times out of 10 they would not know if they worked for a different city's gallery.

That's enough torturing. ;)

One of the above is a fair exchange, that can be freely and knowingly chosen. The other is using undisclosed and underhand methods to get extra leverage. That, by definition, cannot be fair. Turns out it's illegal too.

This is one of the very rare cases where I wish the UK had a little more of the US's litigious culture. In my 50 odd years it's the first and only case. Normally I wish for the reverse. :)

It can be tough to put these into production with autoscaling on the cloud. So if you need an application level load balancer with an ecs container with fargate on aws you're going to be limited to load balancing https requests there's no support for websockets on application load balancers. Part of this is that the cloud is not great at providing tools to deploy these applications. There are tools like firebase which just give you a realtime api to work with but rolling your own is tough when the tools on aws and azure are so biased towards old fashioned rest api deployment.
Even if it was the User's data and not FB's (which is argued downthread a bit...) there's nothing that requires Facebook to make it accessible to other companies. There is real cost in creating an API, running it, managing it, etc.

One could also argue that the User already has all their own data, they just didn't collect it very well. So really they're trying to use FB as their data collection platform - which FB is free to do or not, as they choose.
Wouldn't be too hard to build a simple MVP - just search, but block/omit any domain owned by an organization worth more than $XX million.

I disagree on TOS, which I think pushed the envelope a lot for the time it was created, but yeah, most of the later series have been more conservative. "Let's have some black and/or female characters" was less revolutionary by the late '80s.

(Though it's interesting that TOS, by including a Klingon and an android in the bridge crew, illustrated the in-universe diversity of Starfleet without doing much for IRL casting diversity.)

I suppose I have to admit that having a blind man in TOS was progressive. And having black, female, and finally black female protagonists (DS9, Voyager, Discovery) was a series of steps forward. Still damn disappointing that we had to wait 'til the last few years to get openly gay recurring characters.

Seriously, it's mind-blowing to me that people can't make this distinction. I should be able to ask the library for a record of the books I've checked out. But that doesn't imply that they should hand those records out to whoever wants them, or that they need to make them available for anyone but me, even if I think it'd be more convenient for someone else to pick them up for me.

> Maybe there are no hidden variables, and maybe there is no communication, but these properties are simply encoded into the light particles, by the way they are created.

I believe this is exactly what "hidden variables" means. Some unknown property that would be present in both particles before we measure it and constraint the possible outcomes. This is inconsistent with experiments, it was shown there is no such properties.

> If you really think Go NPEs are even a significant portion of Go reliability issues I'm gonna need more evidence.

Don't get me wrong, there are many other Go reliability issues. I just don't agree with hand-waving it away by saying that "you should have tested for it". I'm very in favour of testing (umoci is arguably the most rigorously-tested container image format tool, and it's written in Go) but I think that tests shouldn't be used as the solution for safety problems. The logical conclusion of such a view is that any language can be reasonably safe if you have enough tests -- and while this is true (just look at SQLite) it's hardly practical to replicate the degree of testing that SQLite does for every C project. In order for everyone to benefit, safety needs to be built in (and Go does have a lot of safety built in).

> Go is not going to die some day because it's "not safe enough"

You keep refuting claims I never made...
All this talk is insane. I have like maybe 4 top-performing hours on my best days. The idea of working more than 8 in a life safety critical situation boggles the mind.

I'm a big fan of Sweden's Project Zero, one leg of which is setting and enforcing a speed limit of 30 km/h on any road or street without fully separated pedestrian & cycle infrastructure. I don't know if self-driving will help accomplish this everywhere, but I'd be ecstatic if it did.

> We could even tolerate a little bit more errors because accidents would not be harmful too much.

instead of "harmful too much" you can simply use "fatal". 30km/h is a pretty magic value: below that speed pedestrian collisions are very rarely fatal. Serious perhaps, but not fatal. Above that speed they are often fatal.
Gradient descent is done in batches and over the aggregate collection of the training data so it's pretty lossy. Usually the error is more of the fault of the learned model itself, and then the culprit is attributed to neuron "mis"-activations post-hoc. Often, problems take the form of generalization error instead. And yes, all of these problems are still quite unsolved, which is why we don't have end-to-end neural network-based self-driving cars, we just have rule based systems with a perception framework that just uses convnets for vision.
It's just a thought, not a business plan :)
And require Uber to continue subsidizing fares in that market. If you assume Uber operates at a loss everywhere they subsidize then smart competition will compete everywhere.
If the driver has large uneventful periods of time where he/she has nothing to do. He/she will not react in time for an emergency.
Well, those are GUI toolkits. A lisp doesn't compete with them. Any GUI that you build with a lisp still needs to support that sort of thing.

Also, when people praise a feature that RN or Flutter have, they are really saying that it's nice that a tool that's practical today has the feature, not that it's never been done before. That something has been done before isn't all that interesting.

If you don't realize this, you become the person running around unhelpfully reminding everyone that smalltalk or a lisp machine had a feature years ago, yet neither offers a practical way to build mobile apps today unlike RN/Flutter.
>Kramer’s company was the developer of Pikinis, an app that enabled people to find photos of Facebook users wearing bikinis.

This is after users OAuth'd the app granting access, right?

Also, when they say that FB gave select advertisers special access to 'full data', what level of data does that entail? Is it still aggregated, or are they getting raw data on individual users down at the click level (for example)?

Where do you see that happening? I'd love to tell some people to cut it out!
In my experience, it's incredibly difficult to get a strong positive signal from a CV. You can definitely find red flags (my favorite example: people describing themselves as experts deep learning with 1 year of experience and zero publications) - but, after removing the obviously unqualified, the next steps have very low accuracy.

Honestly, it might have just been a sourcer/recruiter fuck up. If you can at all, ask a friend (or even a friend of a friend) if you can get an internal referal and bypass the broken resume filtering step.

What if a browser was built like Emacs is built? With low-level rendering core exposing almost everything to scripting in Lisp, and the entire UX written in Lisp, fully customizable?

It appears that Next goes in this direction. I don't know if gtk-webkit allows to script it very deeply, e.g. enough to expose DOM and write extensions in Lisp.

It would also be great to have something like the Emacs's customization framework, and something like Melpa. (But this is obviously far down the road.)

>> I can't believe someone paid the author to go on this cruise and to write such shoddy work.

This is how this level of journalism works: CyproCruise has a promotion budget. That budget includes "free" tickets for journalists. They offer these tickets to hip/cool outlets but, as this is a cruise, they need the name of the journalist before actually sending the ticket. So hip/cool outlet sends bio/headshot of the journalist they want to send.

She is admittedly short, petite, young and has cool hair. In her headshot she probably looks 22. Boxes ticked. Cryptocruise sees her both as another attractive female and, being misogynist pigs, thinks her incapable of doing any real damage. So she gets the ticket. Whether her bosses tell her they have paid for the ticket, or that it has been provided, we can never know.

Everyone got what they thought they wanted. Cryptocruise got another attractive female on their boat, and at a discount. News outlet got what they wanted: a colorful description of exactly how misogynist crypto has become. And we readers go our thing too: I actually read the entire article. It reinforced my understanding and assured me that cypto is not long for this world, at least in its current form. Everyone got their thing and made a few bucks doing so. That's how journalism works.

[Think of how awful the article might have been. Imagine if they had sent a 45yo hetero guy, someone who might have fallen in with a very different crowd on this boat.]

It's more expensive to run three schools. And if those three schools don't each have enough students, they're going to be underfunded as funding is largely based on the number of students.

So the problem starts multiplying.

1. Can't afford supplies, facilities, etc.

2. Can't afford to be properly staffed.

3. The school is invariably going to be under-performing and we've decided as a society that if your school isn't performing well we're going to penalize it by cutting funding, which exacerbates the funding problem.

4. You've got all sorts of people, fiscal hawks, tax payers, etc who don't really want to pay for education, let alone pay for half empty schools and all that overheard. No one really wants to subsidize a ghost town...

So the result is school districts that are too small to make sense being combined together to try and pool their resources and maintain quality and efficiency.

So if you live out in super rural or low population density areas, and families aren't churning out children like they're old school farmers or Catholics, then this is the sort of reality you'll have to deal with.
I found that investing time in educating the recruiter on what you look for, and the why behind that criteria is key. A primary source of that investment is quick, direct feedback to the recruiter on why someone you just turned away is not a good fit. Helping them figure out how to deliver well-qualified candidates to you is not magic. It takes LOTS of effort.

Once you develop that working relationship with a recruiter, never let go! I have a handful of recruiters that I work with because they quickly absorb the feedback I give and I never see another candidate with that missing requirement again. If a recruiter shows they can't adjust/learn from your feedback, find one that does.
Your holidays can become progressively longer and more extravagant. The cost of this can add up quickly. Maybe you previously just went to Florida for a week for vacation. Now you decide to take the family to Italy for 3 weeks in the summer and to New Zealand in the winter....

There can also be an urge to buy that vacation home in Tahoe or Jackson that you always dreamed of. Maybe you used to rent a house in Tahoe for a weekend every winter before windfall. Now you buy a place and have a mortgage for a cabin that you use a handful of times a year.

Before you know it, you can have a lot more expenses creep up.

They don't plant a bug in your pocket without knowledge, or consent to learn what other art museums and galleries you are visiting to assess if they are a worthy target of restriction or takeover. They don't insist on knowing your entire contact list and SMS history just to look at the pictures. They don't ban employees of other galleries and museums from visiting. Not least because 9 times out of 10 they would not know if they worked for a different city's gallery.

I'm not defending all of Facebook's practices. In particular, any surreptitious attempt to collect sensitive user data without permission, or in violation of permission, is terrible. We might differ on what constitutes "sensitive user data" or "permission" but whatever.

Regardless, that's not what we're actually talking about here, and if the museum in question did ask for user consent to a full cavity search before going through, I don't think that actually changes the calculus of what's fair for them to provide to their competitors.

Actually, for a lot of it they can't. The GDPR downloads are incomplete and are missing lots of data like many other GDPR downloads.

And in some cases these aren't competing, they just aren't making Facebook money so Facebook denies them access and tells them what they need to do to add Facebook to process so they can get access.

And if I can tell Facebook to delete something and they have to do it, they do not own it. Facebook are not in control of the data, they have access to it, but they can't share it without permission, they can't sell it without permission, they can't do alot of things. This, to me, means they do not own the data.

There's an AWS piece not mentioned here. Basically there's a way to hook GitHub and AWS together such that when you check items in, your website auto-updates using Amazon's SW and CDN tech. (I didn't cover that because it was outside the scope the question I was answering.)
Yeah, @tlrobinson linked our issue discussing it.

The big blocker for us shipping a `useRedux()` hook is that there's currently no way for a function component to bail out of re-rendering once it starts, and calling `useContext()` subscribes that function component to _any_ update of the context value. The React team has an issue tracking that (https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/14110 ), and as far as I know that's something they intend to include before 16.7 goes final.

Once that's available, we can look at implementing an official `useRedux()` hook, and ship it in a future release.

That same release would likely also rewrite the guts of `connect` to actually use hooks internally as well. I already threw together a proof-of-concept PR that does this (https://github.com/reduxjs/react-redux/pull/1065 ).
