Stop jumping in front of the rotting corpse of FB. No Software firms hires right-wing PR firms to propagate anti-semitic conspiracy theories. They have repeatedly played fast and loose with the laws. With the amount of revenue and influence under their control, they're no longer a tech-startup that creates wealth by innovating/discovering a useful technology or service. They're a media company with tremendous influence, and need to be treated as such. Which is why the press is trying to hold them accountable. Open your eyes and stop imagining conspiracy theories where none exist.
Yep. 20 years ago, if you developed something cool, you open sourced it. Now, you turn it into a SAAS startup and monetize it to make your millions.

I was thinking, what if body's resistance is actually the norm, even when there is no change of velocity ? But the negative mass would provide the energy to let the body's in movement ?
From our point of view it seems that body's can move by theirselves and it seems also that we have to provide energy to change their velocities.
But if we think the universe as a fluid, body's should be constantly slowed.
It's very strange to have two distinct behavior, except if we have a negative mass in the universe.
I don't understand why can't just Google copy iMessage exactly as it is. They can just tie up the chat app like Hangouts to the Gmail ID and just build SMS and Video functionality into it. And make it available by default. So when I want to SMS, Text, or Video I don't need to "think" which app to use. They can just get rid of their Messages, Allo, Duo, etc and just stick to one default messaging app.
More access to US markets would be my first guess.

The USGov want's this and would be offering some incentive. The government then use that as a selling point or threat of missed opportunity to keep MPs in line - not that you'll ever get someone crossing the floor.

I assume the idea is to either "share" the data to a five-eyes partner or let them collect it and use their jurisdiction to compel it's decryption (including by US firms).

Have a peruse through Michel Foucault's "Discipline and Punish". It's impossible to take these moral absolutism claims seriously after spending any time studying the history of crime and morality.

Almost every culture at almost every point in history prevalently believes they have morals figured out and anything that came before them or from elsewhere is absurd.
Dude, that's so disingenuous to say the media is reporting on Facebook because Facebook told the media to "take a hike". Facebook still has the users and could still pivot but this denial is hurting them at this point not helping. The media is a whole separate problem and still make lots of money from Facebook.
Just because FB doesn't publish the information itself doesn't mean it isn't liable for that information being on its platform.

I think your argument would make sense if Facebook was "dumb" content delivery platform and had no advertisements. But it isn't: its a smart one, collecting data on its users constantly, and making that information available to anyone who wants it to push possibly misleading content to its users.

3 Questions: Kate Trimble on Experiential Learning at MIT
Your post exaggerates the danger from batteries. Tesla's billions of miles with fewer car fires than gas cars per mile driven is at the very least evidence that they are no more dangerous than conventional gas cars. The infamous boeing battery fire came about from poor design, and the battery wasn't used to run the engines. Tesla heats and cools their batteries and also tolerates batteries failing; boeing's design was a single large cell and did not tolerate failure, ie it was poorly designed.

Tesla has shown battery tech is a safe and reliable energy source. However, this doesn't mean there can be no problem - of course there can! Airplanes also have had many problems with catching on fire, crashing, burning in the air.

This is kinda the type of model I use my little lock-free SPSC workqueues for: https://github.com/djcapelis/atomic-ring

You just have things do stuff and then toss pointers to threads on the other side of the workqueue. Most things I do this with I basically keep each thread in a different part of the pipeline and they pass the task to the next one. Sometimes this means each thread has a warm cache for the part of the task it's working on, assuming the majority of the working set of each task is more correlated with the stage of the pipeline than the specific data moving through it.
Exciting - remember that battery tech is still in the early days, it will only get cheaper, more energy dense, and more reliable. If this company doesn't succeed, it will get better soon.
>In my humble opinion swappable batteries on an airplane would run afoul of the maintenance regulations that require an A & P to perform and sign off on changes to the aircraft.

| Text | Video
Business | Chat | Meet
Personal | Messages | Duo

I guess that makes a lot more sense... I just wish I knew why four separate apps are needed in the first place.

Why can't text and audio/video be supported in the same app? Skype, Hangouts, HipChat (RIP) and many other messaging programs have been doing it for ages. It's simple and intuitive.

The Hangouts Chat/Meet split is particularly confusing. Aside from supporting more people in a call, I really don't understand what makes a Meet call better than the old Hangouts calls. My confusion is only compounded by Google's continued support for calls on the old Hangouts (now "Hangouts Chat"?).

Is there really such a big difference between an enterprise chat service and a personal one? Companies were turning to Hangouts long before Google announced it would become an enterprise-focused service.

HipChat (RIP) and Slack have obvious enterprise features that would seem out-of-place in a personal chat app... but Hangouts doesn't have any such features. It became popular without them. Why change your development focus all of the sudden? Why not continue marching towards a unified communications app and let the enterprise customers just do their thing?

I'm sure, given proper context and information, most of the decisions leading up to this point make sense in isolation. Still, Google really needs to sit down and figure out where they want all these apps to be in 5 years because - though I'm far from the first (or last) to say it - this is a mess.

The CFO is a fiduciary if the company. The rank and file generally are not. The CFO couldn’t possibly be unaware of shipments to Iran.

A problem with this is that 'equal' tends to equate to fields where measuring performance is not really possible in an objective fashion. E.g. - how would you measure business performance? Is Bill Gates a Bobby Fischer of business, or is he a smart guy who had a great run of right place/right time? In reality there's a good reason that most competitive fields are not equal by any means. In many fields there are even racial/ethnic divides where physiological differences tend to be much smaller than those between sexes. It's because while any world class competitor (in anything) might be many orders of magnitude more capable than a layperson, in general the differences between the individuals at the top is very small. Because of this even the slightest difference is something that can radically shift the balance.

As an example consider the LZR swimsuit [1] by Speedo. In the Beijing Olympics 23 of 25 world records broken were done by swimmers wearing an LZR suit. It had such a huge impact on swimming that the suit is now banned, along with possible derivatives of it. You might expect it's some amazing insta-swimmer, but it's just a regular swimsuit that's nicely engineered resulting in about a quarter less drag than their previous swimsuit. But these changes alone enabled swimmers to shave an average of about 2% off their lap times, which was way more than enough to just destroy just about all previous records.

The ratios of your hips, legs, weight distributions, etc all are vastly different between men and women. And different, though less so, between races. Even consider all the physical differences implied by simply having breasts. Occasionally you'll find a genetic outlier, but in cases where the normal distribution tends to overlap strongly with the ideal performance distribution you're going to get a landslide of results. For instance Kenya makes up a tiny chunk of the world's population, but dominates pretty much all marathon running competitions. Even more interesting is it's not just Kenyans, but a tiny ethnic minority within Kenya that's doing this dominating. Some 0.06% of the world's population ends up dominating marathon racing. Most tellingly, Kenya was basically a nonplayer in these events until cultural changes in the 80s started bringing Kenya (and other East African nations) up to the standards of the west in terms of nutrition and general technology. There was a great article on this all a while back [2].

Details are pretty scarce because of the publication ban atm, however rumour has it that she's arrested in the Vancouver suburb of Richmond, and she may have entered the country using a Canadian passport.

Again these are just hearsay at the mlment, however it does explain why the US/Canadian authorities were enboldened to act and she had to seek an order to prevent publication of the particilars of the case against her.
No, they (the parliament) would make noncompetes mandatory like they made arbiters mandatory (as in, courts will statutorily turn you down if you skip the arbiter; this is way worse than, for example, alienable right to sue in the US, as you cannot contractually leave this out) in Turkey (OK, not in all cases; but employment, insolvency and customer issues are not small problems). Expect way worse in liberal jurisdictions such as US. And no one would object even if it were obviously unconstitutional (right to sue is inalienable here).
The Bullet Cluster seems pretty conclusive though.

Sorry, let's rephrase. "Harmful psychological testing"

Sure, A/B tests have a psychological component, although the tests don't specifically test for that or they'd be after the reason WHY they clicked on blue vs green. They don't care why, they only care about which got more clicks in order to choose which one to go with. They usually also tend to actually test something, like a feature. What feature was FB A/B testing? They weren't. It was a pure psychological test, with harmful results. You honestly don't see a distinction?
Sadly, I feel like people and politics lack common sense, especially in Germany. Hastily closing nuclear power plants after the Fukushima incident was not a smart decision and hurt the environment in the long term. It could've been a "safe bridge" to renewable energy, but instead more coal has to be burned to meet the demand, which is magnitudes worse. Additionally, if Germany wants to stay self-sufficient, an exit is currently impossible.

But in the end, how much does Germany really matter if China and the USA don't do their part?

Here are some other formats:

CP/M: extent map made up of directory entries. The file size is in units of sectors, but text files end with ^Z. Ctrl-M Ctrl-J is end of line.

TRSDOS (TRS-80), also used extents.

This whole extent concept came from DOS/360 from IBM mainframes.

Apple DOS: directory entry points to a linked-list of indirection sectors which hold pointers to the sectors that make up the file. The size of a file is in units of sectors, except that for text files, the end of the file is indicated with NUL. Ctrl-M is end of line.

Atari DOS: just like the C64- a linked list of sectors, but with 3 bytes of overhead per 128 byte sector (the extra byte contains the number of valid data bytes in the sector). The file size is in units of bytes due to this. End of line for text files is 0x9b. (ESC with 7th bit set).

MS-DOS: files are made of a linked-list of clusters, but the linked list for all the files are stored in one place- the FAT (nicely eliminating the need for a free-space bitmap). But if you overwrite the FAT, you lose everything!

Early version of UNIX (SCO Xenix) didn't use a bitmap for the free blocks, instead it kept them a linked list. This was a really bad idea, files instantly became fragmented.

That's a fair point. However if Huawei has a physical presence as a business in the US (which it does) then it should certainly be subject to obeying US laws. The one responsible for violating that law should be held responsible for breaking the law, whether they are a foreigner or not, in the same way that a tourist traveling to another country is still subject to that country's laws.
