What's really striking is how user-hostile this conversation is. Forget about whether the user wants to share their data or not - it's all about what Facebook wants to do. In this case, that's snuffing competition by denying access, in the case of Cambridge Analytica, it's sharing data for purposes of shady data "research".
I highly reccomend you to sent me a part of them.

In nature, random mutation leads to greater genetic diversity and speciation. In some mathematical optimizations, introducing random noise can help avoid getting stuck in local maxima.
This is created by my friend Yuduo Wu (http://www.yuduowu.com/). Really awesome work. We should have more such kind of repos that summarize resources related to ML systems and infra.
Maybe, but hire and fire is also a great way to show the team that you don't know what you're doing as a hiring manager; not to mention how firing a team member, who may be incompetent but still well-liked, affects morale. Then, there is the problem where you fail to fire when you should. To me, this is just not a good way to build an effective team.
> To change job you need an entire new visa application which is not guaranteed to win the lottery.

Nope - visa transfers when changing employer aren't subject to the visa cap and don't have to go through the lottery. At present premium processing is suspended so it can take up to 6 months, but that's not always the case.
Here's some of the things I did in a similar situation-
- I told work I was cutting back my hours. They had some concerns, so I'd start the conversation early. Currently I'm only working 4 days a week & it makes a huge difference in my life.
- My wife & I picked out "IPO presents" for ourselves. She got a minivan, I got a nice grill. This seemed like a good balance between "don't do anything for a year" & "we worked hard to get here & can afford it".
- if you can find a good fee only financial planner, hire them. We pay ours a ~$200/mo retainer to just talk about money things on our mind. She's been able to make many valuable insights & suggestions as we've been trying to adjust to the changes in our lives & futures.

GDPR doesn't demand that you destroy all features created with the help of user data.
The articles seems to setup a false choice between having minimums and not having them. In fact from reading the article, the problem wasn't the minimums per se, it was the fact that they were excessive and didn't account for parking factors that varied across different parts of the town. It's a classic bit of over regulation with backlash shown by the author that "regulation bad", when in reality it's just that regulation was still needed, it just needed to be more nuanced.
Tangentially, I was extremely annoyed to discover that tuple unpacking in function headers was removed with Python 3. Coming from Erlang, tuples were quite appealing, but that was frustrating.

this way you will burn your money very quickly - for example, you will pay about 10-12% on top of the real estate price just for legal help and taxes plus you will pay a substantial amount every month (taxes plus regional infrastructure improvements).

Small town America. The high school I attended in 9th grade was a 30 minute drive away if there was no traffic and first bell was at 7:00 AM. It also served 2-3 small towns in the area. I took the bus before I could drive, and my bus stop was one of the first on the route that had to pick up kids from all over the place because we didn't have a lot of busses. So in order to get me to school on time for 7:00 AM, I got picked up at 5:45 AM.
I tried to enjoy this, but as writing it kind of flaunts "show don't tell." The author could have written half of this without ever setting foot on the boat. Like, it feels like she came in with her burns prepared beforehand, and only paid cursory attention to the people.
Sharing or not sharing data with another app is likewise not an unusual decision. FB is not a public utility

I think this point is, at least partially, arguable. Take "political media." FB is so dominant and powerful in this arena that excluding individuals or parties is very close to denying people their rights to free speech and/or associon.

Idk if you can make that case about apps, because their app platform is not that important, but you could make it about Android or ios... maybe Aws.
I would argue that everyone needs auto scaling, even if it's only to use it to scale manually, or change/upgrade instances easily. Being able to just tell your auto scaling group to do +3 then -3 to replace your 3 instances without downtime is quite nice.
It is indeed interesting (and reminds me of the axlotl tanks of Dune) but in this instance, the uterus ultimately comes from a woman anyway, so this particular medical feat (and the original question of this thread) doesn't really have much to do with it.

It's also much more practical (and already technically possible, I think?) for females to reproduce without males than the other way round, so that's the most likely development for the future.
> This is huge, doesn't this make google guilty as well?

I'm not sure I follow. An app can request permissions, and the user can allow or deny them. I don't understand how this puts guilt on Google. Can you elaborate?

I can imagine how that is for the specifics, but what is the response from the medical community on sleep? We know it's damaging to be sleep deprived and that hurts patients and medical staff. We also know that being sleep deprived craters ability to do _any_ job after far less than the 18-24 hour shifts that medical staff are routinely working.

Why is this ok is medicine and not any other type of human endeavor?
Before the keyfobs become poplar there were transponder keys with embedded RFIDs. While still attackable, they aren't actively pinging their car and revealing their presence like the fobs do.
"Sharing or not sharing data with another app is likewise not an unusual decision. FB is not a public utility"

[the following paragraph does not assert that FB is a monopoly, it is agnostic]

The law says that a company with a monopoly needs to act a bit like a public utility. Recall what Microsoft did to Netscape -- was there anything wrong with that? Is a company allowed to take action against a competitor? The normal answer is "Yes". But different rules apply if the government can prove that a company has monopoly power in some market. Actions that are allowed among normal competitors are no longer allowed once a company has near monopoly powers. I think fast growing tech companies get into trouble because the founders doesn't realize how much the company has grown. Bill Gates could use aggressive tactics during the 1980s because Microsoft was still small. He got into trouble in 1994 because he didn't realize how much Microsoft had grown, and how much the rest of the world suddenly regarded it as a behemoth. Therefore he was no longer allowed to pursue the aggressive tactics that he'd previously been free to use.

Arguably, the same reality has now caught up with FaceBook.
This phenomenon is called "journalism"
>That's redefining words to the extreme.

The fact that crime can't drop or rise depending on prior decisions, and will always be what it's predetermined to be at any point in the future is pretty non-controversial if you accept determinism.

And requires not "redefining" at all.

When we say "we've dropped crime" we don't just describe a casual relationship, but that we achieved something that otherwise would not be. We understand it as if free will is given, if you like.

>It lowered the crime, or had other beneficial effects on the population, that's why it was preserved by the evolution. It doesn't matter that it couldn't evolve in any different way given the starting conditions of the universe. It still happened.

Only, "that's why it was preserved" has no meaning anymore. It wasn't preserved because of any beneficial effects (which weren't a concern at all). It was preserved because initial conditions were so and so.

I have mixed thoughts about Google's change. (Often it gives you what you might want rather than what you searched for). I think I summarized my thoughts well here (which I'll just quote again below to save you a click): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17423373#17430763

>Normally I only use Google, but I've also experienced this. In contrast with a few years ago, more recently Google gave me such bullshit that I was like, "Just give me the pages that have these keywords, this is so obvious" and I went to duckduckgo.com. There, with literally the exact same query, every one of the top links was relevant and had my search terms. On Google none of the first page of links had what I searched for. This certainly supports "they show me what they want me to see", rather than what I asked for.

>On the flip side, I still find Google useful and I must say that I often am happy to read what they decide to give me: even if it's not what I searched for.

On the whole I guess I support Google's changes, they serve me well. But one thing, though, is that the old algorithms which are deprecated are probably literally less than 5 minutes from a production deploy - so I wonder what Google would have to lose by keeping the old, well-working algorithms in some kind of classic deprecated search. Everyone on it is still eyeballs for their ads, so if it really doesn't take any extra resources to keep the classic view up somewhere (besides a few minutes for someone to deploy it), then why not expose it as long as it works well. (Obviously the classic algorithms might stop working if spam against those algorithms becomes insurmountable, I realize it's a bit of a cat and mouse game between SEO and Google's algorithms. On the other hand since hardly anyone would use the classic interface, spammers might stop doing SEO against it and ignore it entirely.) So if those algorithms are really a few clicks away, perhaps it would be a good thing for them to deploy just for the people are are about to go to duckduckgo or bing because Google just isn't giving them what they're searching for.

Thoughts?
I remember people making this joke decades ago. It would easily fit in with complaints about the 90's being too PC.
Interesting point. I genuinely thought "AWS Lambda" was just the ASCII-fied version of the official spelling, but it seems I was wrong. Either way, your point about SEO is of course very valid (but the Greek letter joke went over my head).
> Lastly, the insinuation of the article is that "unbiased" search results are clearly preferable.

the insinuation is that you should know if they are biased or that you should be able to get unbiased result if you so wish.

It also raises suspicions on how much google tracks each user.

From this point of view what would be interesting would be a local study, to see in 100 people all in the same neighbourhood with different browsing habits have different results. this would eliminate the "non-tracking" part of the personalization.
Twist: use the previous victim as a recipient for the payment.

This would create an interesting spread incentive for the attack: once you are infected and you pay, you can still be reimbursed if you manage to infect someone else. You could even make this into a pyramid where several person's payment go to a parent carrier, and people will even want to be infected quickly to be closer to the top of the pyramid.

Or just use a random previous victim id. Now it becomes a viral non-consensual lottery and you benefit from spreading it.
The way you find content in Tumblr is (1) you somehow find one example of the type, perhaps from an outside link or a search, (2) you click the content and find who liked it, (3) you go to each of their blogs and if it has content you're into, you follow it. Iterate until you've connected to the entire like-minded community.

This is why I described it as a galaxy of niches. It provides a sort of discoverable obscurity that makes connecting to signal rather than noise rather easy.

It's also what makes it hard to see beyond your own niche if you don't actually own the servers.
Would you ask somebody who had you in an A/B test to destroy the feature?
My interaction with Coinbase:

CB: Since you're in the middle of your job search, and you have good work experience and we have limited time, we'll skip technical interview if you pass our test with 4.5 score or above and I will connect you right with Director of Engineering.

ME: OK

CB: Here is 40-minute TripleByte test.

ME: Done

CB (the next day): You scored a 5/5 and in the 96th percentile! I would love to move forward and have you speak with XXX, Director of Engineering

ME: OK

(non-technical call with director of engineering)

CB (next day): we have decided to proceed with other candidates (automated response)

ME: (reached out to HR, no response)

It was really weird. I believe I was discriminated by age or nationality (no proof though). Be careful.

Mh, so you find more comfortable work in a spreadsheet than an org-mode files with tables and optional org-babel block in your preferred language to manipulate data as native data structure if org table formulas are not enough nor comfortable?

Personally I think there is no comparison, spreadsheets are normally uncomfortable UI to work with datas that even miller+bc&pipes is far superior... Org bring computation to another level...
to answer your question, yes
>No. Causality is all you need to identify who the criminal is.

Causality just determines who did something criminal. The word criminal though also invokes a moral judgement (of character) and intent, which presupposes an agent, which presupposes free will.

My understanding is that gdpr still doesn't say that it's your data and not Facebook's, it just gives you certain rights to that data such as the right to have it deleted.
The point of the article was that, even when there is no reason to do so because location and identity are identical, Google STILL gives differently ranked results. Please read more carefully.

And I've been using DDG for a bit now and have found it perfectly useable.
Is there any type of encryption between the car and the key? Or are the signals always constant?

> I don't understand why either of those points is particularly controversial or even unusual

Facebook is unusually large and lawless. Their favoring industry incumbents decreases the economy’s dynamism. If you want to compete with Airbnb, now, you must not only launch a better product. You must also curry favor with Facebook. That’s a lot of trust for society to put in a company with a track record of terrible judgement. (This is also why we regulate monopolies.)
Typical example of poor journalism. Written to be sensationalist and carry a narrative that was already all decided before setting a foot on that boat.
Holy cow, I feel very lucky I dont have facebook now :O
Whatsapp has enough of a userbase and a usecase that enough people will be willing to pay to sustain it.

What _will_ happen is that other free services will pop up and be used, and some users will migrate to those. Which is a good thing. We'll have actual competition on the field instead of a single dominant player.
congrats!!!!!

you did not win the lottery but I keep this link [0] handy in case I every get a windfall it has some gems of good advice and caution.

briefly, I wish I had tour problem and if I can fantasize for a minute.... after paying off all loans/debts and doing a month of two of traveling I would probably take classes in physics and writing while trying to find a way to invest it safely with the goal of more or less keeping the money and growing it only safely and not losing it on foolish investments.

lastly I also keep this comment [1] as a reference for general financial advice.

best of luck!

Without wishing to sound flippant, as a society we've developed a mechanism to control the allocation of scarce resources - pricing. It sounds a lot like the parking you're describing is extremely underpriced, both in the demand/supply sense (demand is outstripping supply) and in the externalities sense (impacts to tourism, issues like air quality caused by traffic hunting for a space, walkability death spiral etc.)

For such a capitalist country as the US, the die-hard attachment to free or overcheap parking is really odd.
>Unfortunately not. If your gets car stolen, without free will, you can't assign responsibility to the "thief"

Actually you can. Or rather, without free will, you have no say on whether you can or cannot.

If the deterministic chain comes out so, you will assign responsibility to the thief, even if it has no meaning to do so.
Yeah, she's literally, in that opening you quoted from, admitting to not having paid attention.

Does the later choice of focus on the connection between bitcoin and, to quote, 'libertarian-shading-to-far-right` thinking render the observations she makes, on a cruise catering apparently to many people of that mindset, invalid?
There was English before America, FYI
As of a few years ago, Android asks users to agree to categories of permissions rather than individual permissions, and adding permissions from the same category doesn't count as a new permissions grant. Based on that description it doesn't sound like Facebook was abusing this since they still required users to opt in. (Though I seem to recall from older discussions of this that in actual fact, the opt-in process they implemented was sleazy and high-pressure.)

If their application only needed to run on newer Android, I think they could rely on runtime permissions and not request this permission at all unless the user actually turns the feature on - but even now about a third of Android devices in use are on versions too old to support this.
This is a really cool application of research to describe something difficult to grok for the average user (myself included) but which really highlights the benefit of using an anonymized search engine with static results. It's like saying, "There's room for us both." But with real metrics and data.

Newer vehicles are already mitigating this attack, eg by measuring signal timings. Signal relay introduces a delay which can be identified and rejected.

CEOs of massive companies don't have time to write long and explanatory emails. They put people in charge that they trust, so they can just say one word or sentence and know that it'll get handled.
Buy something nice for yourself, invest the rest. lottery winners have a high bankruptcy rate. I can't find the interview but there was a great one with a janitor that got a similar amount of money. he bought himself a Rolex then invested. A tiny frivolous but incredibly pragmatic overall.

With that amount, hire someone and then find some hobbies.
>Having laws (and the enforcement of laws) in place is something we believe to be the most effective input in causing the Bad Things to not happen. As such, having them and enforcing them is purely logical.

It's only logical assuming free willing agents making logical choices.

Else, it's only automatic and predetermined, like everything else.

>Either you have negative stimuli to it from something more direct, such as in my situation, or perhaps just because of social pressure and the desire to conform, but morality still comes into existence from the causal nature of reality.

No, it doesn't. Morality (as we understand it) only comes into existence if we assume a causal nature PLUS free agents (not totally bound to that causal nature).

Else, there's no morality to a murder anymore than there's a morality to the formation of Earth. Both are events destined to do by the initial state of the universe in the big bang.
Probably via some trick that put the car into service mode. There's a gang in Warsaw that specialises in Toyota's.

I know late 2000s Rav4s could be stolen by thrusting a wire through the left-front mudguard and disconnecting something(not sure what) inside this way. There's a clip of a Russian demonstrating this technique somewhere on youtube.

Wife recently spent a couple of days in hospital for surgery/recovery. She was in a normal double-occupancy room for recovery (i.e. not ICU), yet was still woken every couple of hours by someone taking vitals, drawing blood, doing respiratory checks, bringing food, etc. And the room was hardly ever really quiet because if someone wasn't there to see her, someone was attending to the person on the other side of the curtain that divided the room. She said she hardly slept.
