> How would you differentiate these two scenarios without free will?

Circumstances change the moral evaluation of actions, it doesn't matter if it was a blackmail, or a hurricane (which doesn't have a free will) - still people would be more lenient on the guy that stole a car to save his wife. And the guy still made a choice (or had the illusion of making a choice), just with different circumstances.

And still the existence of free will changes nothing in the situation. If the free will doesn't exist - people can still evaluate what is good and bad using the concept of free will. Some people use the concept of God to define morality after all, and it certainly possible (s)he doesn't exist.
Well sure, but if half a people living in an area don't have a car, that's a very significant difference to everyone having a car. When the young people grow up, they'll be new young people to replace them. And fewer families tend to want to live in city centres anyway.

Dear all IT fellas....finance fella here..
Please halt moaning about excel....

If u can make excel super efficient and a million times faster by working some IT magic I would personally reward you $....don't even suggest an other solution....

TAKE IT AS A CHALLENGE and improve EXCEL if you really got what it takes...
Good response, i thought it was left over terminology from segregation times. You may be right
Partly why I'm asking. Wikipedia seems to conflate the two [1]:

A critical component of unconscious bias training is creating awareness for implicit bias. Since 1998, the online Implicit-Association Test (IAT) has provided a platform for the general public to assess their unconscious biases. Although the IAT measure has come under scrutiny, it has sparked conversation about unconscious bias in both popular media and the scientific community. In addition to the public’s increased awareness of the influence of implicit biases, the reality of racial and gender inequalities in our society has led to the creation of many unconscious bias training programs.

Why should those who benefit from the system, help you to gamify it in such a way that the no longer can benefit from the system. In my opinion, a completely detached system has to be grown, to speculate on reform of the existing one without it coming under financial pressure- is unrealistic.
Which only encourages the idea that Next is Qute's direct competitor.
Large sums of money gives you freedom. Don't like your job? Quit and hold out until you find your ideal job. Don't want to work? Retire! Want to travel? Now you can!

If you are happy in your life, you don't have to change anything just because you have a lot of money in your bank account.

I'd recommend considering three things:

1. Try helping people with your money. Start small - pay for someones groceries at checkout, pay a small medical bill for someone that needs it (checkout watsi). I find helping people very rewarding and you might decide it's something you want to start doing.

2. Travel. Traveling can give you perspective on life that can help you figure out what is important in your life.

3. Park your money in real-estate that produces income. Your money will grow with the increasing real-estate value and also provide you with income to live on. So your $8M grows slowly, you have money to live on and you aren't slowly draining your bank account.

So if I understand correctly, you would want to know the details of how Mozilla audited ProtonVPN, is that it?
I trust Mozilla, and if this helps Mozilla (and Firefox) further, I'm all for it. From a different angle though, I'd prefer more decentralized solutions than centralized ones like a single VPN provider. That could be in the form of more Tor infrastructure coming up to make the Tor network faster (I myself am not capable of setting up and running nodes).

My other concern with centralized VPN is that Cloudflare, with its appetite seemingly focused on being the biggest pipe (by a large measure) for Internet traffic, might soon come up with a free VPN service and kill most others. I'm certainly not a fan of large companies becoming large enough and entrenched enough to put up insurmountable barriers against disruption (this could end up being a futile hope).
It's a combination of a shifted sleep schedule and teenage brains going through significant, exhausting development.

The cocktail napkin stories are one-off anecdotes that all law school students go through in their first semester to learn about what actually makes a contract. They are great example to show how a formal document with signatures is not the critical piece of a contract. They do not mean that you should never scrawl notes on a napkin because napkins have some special legal power. And any quote that implies such should be taken with a fairly large grain of salt.

Also, wealth managers don't simply try to beat the market over a short term. They try to help you diversify so that in the case of a market change or complete meltdown, you don't lose everything. You pay that percentage not to maximize every penny, but to make a reasonable return while minimizing your losses in odd scenarios, so that you can live on the returns while never even touching the principal assets. Again, anyone who boils it down to "just invest in index funds" is missing the big picture. (And that includes bad financial planners. If they give simple advice, call someone else.)

Cool to know you also read that article about C++ in rust (I personally read a little bit then left because trying to interface with C++ from rust wasn't a problem I had), but I guess it's obvious that you would.
Google can and should customize search results based on location, and it's not just about "local articles" as the article suggests. If enough people from the same general location click on certain results more frequently, then those results should rank higher for others who search from that same general location.

We use Google because the results are useful, not because they are "unbiased". Ranking implies some sort of "bias" and is what makes search results generally useful. We don't want a search engine that does nothing clever and just spits back unranked results. Otherwise, we would be inundated with results containing credit card scams, porn, Bitcoin scams, Viagra ads, etc, when we search for... pretty much anything.

In privacy (incognito and not logged in) mode, all of the above still applies. What would NOT apply is something like: You are a vegetarian and suddenly all of your restaurant searches rank vegetarian restaurants higher in results while in privacy mode. Unless, of course, for some reason people in your general location happen to mostly eat vegetarian.

In any case, if people don't like it, stop using Google and go use some other search engine; there is absolutely nothing holding you back. More times than not, I think people will switch back to Google because they find the results more useful, even in privacy mode.

That's a rehash of the argument against the existence of proprietary tech (and patents).

It also has the same limitations:
If there's no competitive advantage to having proprietary data, then what's the point of developing the tech and services to try and obtain it?

To be clear-- they marketed Onava as a VPN service to protect your personal data from spying and then they spied on your personal data to figure out what products you were using.
Email is a good example and somebody else mentioned the web in general.

I think the big difference there is that there are game changing advantages to end users being able to send email anywhere and to access all of the web rather than what was essentially one web site.

Federating Tumblr (and Twitter with Mastodon) seems like a lateral move at best. The worst case is that it makes it harder to use and so it might even be a step backwards.
No, it isn't.
It's clearly undecidable.

Herbrand equivalence is the best you can do (in general) if you are trying to say whether two variables have the same values at the same program points.

If you are willing to be probablistically correct you can do better, but you will get wrong answers (and not know they are wrong)
That is likely okay for this application.
yeah, most of them you have to wonder why they bothered and others you have to wonder why they would let go of them.

Exhibit 79 – linking data access spending on advertising at Facebook

Email from Konstantinos Papamiltidas [FB] to Ime Archibong [FB]

'Key points: 1/ Find out what other apps like Refresh are out that we don't want to share
data with and figure out if they spend on NEKO. Communicate in one-go to all apps that
don't spend that those permission will be revoked. Communicate to the rest that they need
to spend on NEKO $250k a year to maintain access to the data.'

Well, we are not competitors, we target different markets. Next is infinitely extensible, Qutebrowser is not. Also Qutebrowser is married to QT, Next is not. If we wanted to, we could in about 1000 lines of code make a QT port for Next that uses Blink. Take a look at the platform ports https://github.com/atlas-engineer/next/tree/master/ports and you will see that they are quite trivial to implement :)
Python offers immutable data structures in addition to the mutable ones. Tuples are immutable, we've had namedtuple for a while, and now it's possible to write immutable data classes as well. As time goes by, I find myself using less and less mutability in Python. At this point I default to immutable structures, and I bring in mutable ones only if I need them for performance or there's no reasonable immutable alternative.
I actually recently interviewed at Stripe (did not receive an offer) and though the day was long, Stripe question’s were very fair and relevant to the job. This was true from my first phone call to all my onsite questions. I was very impressed by the preparation they had put into their interview questions.

So if you work at Stripe and are reading this, good work improving interviewing process
Isn't that the same thing though? It's a very common problem without an easy solution.
And reducing the productivity of workers by 25% couldn't possibly have any bad effects. /s

In all seriousness, I've seen mentions of studies that suggest going from 8 hours to 6 does _not_ correlate with a 25% decrease in productivity, because most people aren't consistently productive for all 8 hours of a day. I know in my case, there's an extremely strong inverse correlation with productivity and how bored I am with a particular task. I'm sure I'm not alone.
If there is a mix of land use and enough density people can go car free. When you walk to work and local stores: the need for a car is low and so you start thinking about getting rid of it completely. The trips you currently take outside the cities are more expensive, but you don't take them often so overall the car isn't worth it.

When you can't walk most places (in the US zoning codes won't allow it) you start to need a car. There is a level where public transit and work for some people but cars start to make sense at this level (thought perhaps one car per family instead of one per adult)

Exhibit 170 – Mark Zuckerberg discussing linking data to revenue

Mark Zuckerberg email – dated 7 October 2012

'I've been thinking about platform business model a lot this weekend…if we make it so devs
can generate revenue for us in different ways, then it makes it more acceptable for us to
charge them quite a bit more for using platform. The basic idea is that any other revenue
you generate for us earns you a credit towards whatever fees you own us for using plaform.
For most developers this would probably cover cost completely. So instead of every paying
us directly, they'd just use our payments or ads products. A basic model could be:

Login with Facebook is always free
Pushing content to Facebook is always free
Reading anything, including friends, costs a lot of money. Perhaps on the order of
$0.10/user each year.

For the money that you owe, you can cover it in any of the following ways:

Buys ads from us in neko or another system
Run our ads in your app or website (canvas apps already do this)
Use our payments
Sell your items in our Karma store.

Or if the revenue we get from those doesn't add up to more that the fees you owe us, then
you just pay us the fee directly.'
I hope the new public-private partnership model gets rid of the complacency you see at defense contractors.
> So it's bad if they do share data, but also bad if they don't?

Yeah. I'm guessing they have a bad business model.

The fact that there are so many points just means we all have to sit and wait to see what the Mozilla Corporation does next. It does not matter if they resolve every grave transgression they do, I already have 0 trust placed on them.
I think a lot of people's point here is that one of the biggest blockers to convenient public transport is high-density, and that parking lots are one of the things that is reducing density. 200 car spaces take up a lot more land area than the building itself!
A touchscreen is a terrible interface for anything in a car, since you must look at it to operate it. Tactile dials/knobs you can feel for—and ideally feel different to each other—are the best interface for anything in your car that you want to use while driving.

Voice can be sort of ok, as long as your speech models are locally stored (no internet blackspots), but deny access to those who cannot talk, or for whom you haven't bothered to build a speech model that matches their language/accent.
this is true, but one of the main co-authors is a VI/EVIL user, so we are working on VI keybindings for the next release. Still trying to work out how to best integrate them into the system, that's all :)

There is no evidence that unconcious bias can be effectively mitigated by "training".
There's plenty of similar cases in IT. Some people find Master/Slave offensive - though I personally believe this is a 'looking for problems'-kind of thing.
Trump's not even mentioned in the article.

In fact I would even buy a filter bubble if it had a "Not Trump" switch.

Wrong. pkttyagent is just a frontend, it does not do any authorization itself. That's up to polkitd.

>Michael LeBeau – ‘He guys, as you know all the growth team is planning on shipping a permissions update on Android at the end of this month. They are going to include the ‘read call log’ permission, which will trigger the Android permissions dialog on update, requiring users to accept the update. They will then provide an in app opt in NUX for a feature that lets you continuously upload your SMS and call log history to Facebook to be used for improving things like PYMK, coefficient calculation, feed ranking etc. This is a pretty high risk thing to do from a PR perspective but it appears that the growth team will charge ahead and do it.’

>Yul Kwon - ‘The Growth team is now exploring a path where we only request Read Call Log permission, and hold off on requesting any other permissions for now. ‘Based on their initial testing, it seems this would allow us to upgrade users without subjecting them to an Android permissions dialog at all.

This is huge, doesn't this make google guilty as well?

>‘It would still be a breaking change, so users would have to click to upgrade, but no permissions dialog screen.

Point taken, that particular controversy definitely slipped my mind... There was a time when it didn't have that.

This annoucement definitely made me think of UPlay and Origin, I think I played a demo of "The District" (?) and there was much gritting of teeth.

You really can't control how long something stays in a browser cache. The user can clear it at any time. Mine are cleared every time I close the browser.
Hmm, looking at this with a glance, I am surprised the coverage around Onavo hasn't been bigger.

If I am following this correctly, it would be similar to Google creating a Firefox extension to enable "extra privacy," but secretly pumping the data back to Google? Or if Windows Defender sent all your web usage data and keystrokes to Microsoft?

I'm not sure how this doesn't fit the definition of Spyware?
As someone with a father and a wife who are both physicians, yes. In both cases they started working to get into medicine in high school, pushed hard in college, and then had med school and residency.

That alone is 16 straight years of normalizing sleep deprivation. Time spent studying and working is regularly 80+ hours per week, certainly from med school onward and certainly the year spent studying for the MCAT.

If they start at 16 and finish their residency at 30 or 32, that's the only life they've ever known for all of their formative years. They cannot relate to people with a normal schedule because they have not experienced it.
Four shifts a day of 8 hours schedule will solve that. 2 hours is a very long overlap to hand over.

I suspect your non-standard way of referring to AWS Lambda (I get it, Greek letter, haha) only serves to reduce the SEO of any pages where you talk about your project. My recommendation would be to refer to their project by its real name to increase the hits you get on yours.
