NOTE: The image is on the article above the fold.

> On 5 December 2008, the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), a British watchdog group, blacklisted content on the English Wikipedia related to Scorpions' 1976 studio album Virgin Killer, due to the presence of its controversial cover artwork, depicting a young girl posing nude, with a faux glass shatter obscuring her genitalia. The image was deemed to be "potentially illegal content" under English law which forbids the possession or creation of indecent photographs of children. The IWF's blacklist are used in web filtering systems such as Cleanfeed.

You can see from my note how much long-term effect this had on Wikipedia.
No it is not. We do have a lot of original written and old text from different sources or other objects. Artefacts. Findings.

Jesus as a person is very specific. There should be more proof then there is.

From Julius Cäsar (who lived in the same timeperiod btw) does proof exists that he lived.
First: there's no "but" - you're not disagreeing worth anything GP wrote.

Second: if we're going to go by anecdotal evidence, then we'll definitely have to ban anything remotely violent, as kids imitate that. While anything but overt depictions of sexuality are fine, since kids tend not to imitate them.

Oh, and we should also ban the Teletubbies. Some kids started to hug their oversized tv sets ("big hug!"), causing it to topple and hurt the children.

Alternatively, we could try standards not based on anecdotal evidence or one small group's moral views.

That's what's causing the downfall of western society: forgetting that we owe everything to Christianity.
Interesting. Here in Norway, girls are outperforming boys in school at every level, and the gap between them gets bigger every year. A few years a go the gap was smallest in math, but I recently listen to a discussion on radio that said even that gap started to get bigger. One of the arguments that are used here often is that school is geard more towards girls than boys.

I have to read that book to understand why it seems to be so different in USA (I presume).

One could argue that many social media companies are doing the same. The net psychological effects of gamification and engagement hacks are yet to be very well understood.
It depends on what you mean by Jesus history.

If you see it similar to Santa Claus history than yeah no proof is needed but than I would still find it strange to discuss something like this in so many facets.

If you see it more like Julius Cäsar History then my comment makes more sense.
Stop sharpening your tools and just use them for a while to do something fun or interesting. Different parts of your brain are trained by different activities: study, play, taking tests, competing, working with other people, fighting for your life, etc. You've probably done the equivalent of an athlete who spends all of his time on drilling certain basics without spending much time actually playing the game.

Go play the game. Put projects before skills for a while and your skills will improve, too.
I was always printing out texts larger than a few pages. I felt like it's easier. Now I know it's not my personal trait.
Nowadays, combined GNSS receivers like you mention are available from various electronic retailers for around 20-50$ a piece. The uBlox Neo M8 is a popular chip, there are a few others too. They are widely used in UAVs (where I know them from) and a variety of other applications, and routinely use anywhere between 22-28 active satellites from multiple constellations (compared to typical 7-11 visible for GPS alone).
Mobile app can gather a lot more user data.

It's not a rumour, it's well known that many ISPs use the IWF blocklists. https://www.iwf.org.uk/become-a-member/services-for-members/...

The blocks are supposed to be used for individual pages, not the domain. https://www.iwf.org.uk/become-a-member/services-for-members/...

In the past the IWF could only take action when an image was reported to them. Recent changes (2013) mean they are now allowed to search out this content.

Those blocks should take the form of "splash pages" warning that the content is illegal. Some of the splash pages provide links to charities working with potential offenders to reduce their likelihood of offending. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/tackling-illegal-images-n...

But Interpol has a list of "worst of" content where the domain is expected to be blocked: https://www.interpol.int/Crime-areas/Crimes-against-children...

Together this means that a site that has images of child sexual abuse, and which does nothing to proactively stop that content, is likely to face increasing levels of regulations. It's also a pretty poor look for advertisers. I'm not saying that Tumblr's response makes any technical sense. I am saying that it makes sense from a business perspective.

> Is seems fairly obvious to me that inhaling vegetable glycerin and nicotine does not cause any harm.

Why is that obvious? Lungs evolved to absorb oxygen not vegetable glycerin or propylene glycol. In fact there is some evidence that it may be harmful to protective cells in the lung walls, potentially increasing the risk of lung inflammation[1]. Obviously we'll have to wait 30 years to know of any long-term effects, but maybe common sense would be a better life decision if you don't want to be a test subject.

I would also suggest that there is a risk of cheap e-cigarettes causing even more serious harm because they might have contaminants in the fluid being inhaled.

Interesting thing is that antidepressant use rised despite antidepressant being mostly ineffective

Except for antibiotics and simple surgeries, which are basically miracles on demand, most medical treatments don't offer great odds. Antidepressants do work, just not very well or reliably. We won't leave people to wallow or die though and have a need to do something for them. This is something.

However, it does indicate that people were battling depression before social media and its rates were increasing rather quickly.

Some (many? all? I have no idea) consumer chipsets with multiple GNSS support can get position from multiple constellations, but cannot combine the signals into one mixed constellation result of better quality than the best single-constellation result they get. In most cases what you see is the GPS result, except when you are close to one of the poles, which are uniquely (afaik) served by Glonass.
Totally agree, but that is almost certainly going to require humans to review the complaint. I think that is ultimately why these systems are awful — way too much dependence on laughably immature automation.

Google seems incapable of admitting that humans are still a necessary component in these sorts of things. You see the same thing play out in many other Google services.
Shirley, I wasn’t the only one.

From Wikipedia, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_sensory_meridian_...

Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is an experience characterized by a static-like or tingling sensation on the skin that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine. It has been compared with auditory-tactile synesthesia[2][3] and may overlap with frisson.

ASMR signifies the subjective experience of "low-grade euphoria" characterized by "a combination of positive feelings and a distinct static-like tingling sensation on the skin". It is most commonly triggered by specific auditory or visual stimuli, and less commonly by intentional attention control.[4][5]

- There are plenty of good reasons against using the typical ad platforms, and the increasing adoption of ad blockers shows that users don't like them

- Hosting your own ads is hard in the internet and doesn't seem very profitable

- Running the website as a marketing expense to increase sales of the paper version used to work, but now people just stay on the website

- Microdonation platforms like flattr fail to gain any traction

Unless you somehow find good journalists that work for free a model of allowing X article reads per month before requiring payment seems like the best model available.
Sorry but I think you are very naive for thinking that.

Recruiters will be able to tell you very basic information about the working place (i.e. office hours, dress code, number of holidays, size of the team etc.) - all the things that you can easily find out for yourself. And keep in mind they are NEVER going to say something bad about the company. They are trying to sell the job to your so they can get their commission.

On top of that, the recruiter needs to be paid one way or another (in the UK they usually get paid a percentage of your salary over 1-2 years). Although recruiters are usually paid by the employer and not the candidate, it still means that to an employerer a candidate costs less to them if they come directly rather than through a recruiter. Hence you will have a harder time getting a higher salary if you go through a recruiter.

They are nothing more than middlemen and you are doing yourself a disfavour by using them if you do.

You mean theoretically or with the current hardware they are using?

Given they are going for low cost mass produced, I doubt they have the necessary hardware, especially the highly accurate clocks.

If you're speaking theoretically, yes, again the hardest would probably be the clocks, but there's no reason a private company can't produce them if needed.
The bigger issue would be that they would have to compete against the free, government-subsidiesed networks, which seems really tough.
Maybe if they target the really high accuracy only available to the military, but even then codeless is already good enough for most applications.

The City of London is the exception, not the norm. The history of how it came to this situation is also pretty interesting (the City is what should be called London, not the rest of the city.)

Whilst a free press is important, I would argue that 'a man and a woman have been held in connection with the Gatwick Airport drone incident' would suffice. Kudos to the BBC for recognising this.

It's not in the public interest for us to know exactly who they are unless they're actually found guilty of a crime. Publishing their names and pictures before _even being charged_ does nothing but open potentially innocent people up to danger.

Whoever caused the Gatwick chaos needs to be brought to justice, but this is beyond reckless

Weirdly, perl. I found myself on a client site in a locked down environment with only the Windows version of GIT installed. Powershell disabled, no other programs allowed. I had to produce reports on the log files for this machine, but had to obfuscate information before taking it off the server.

I discovered that git had bash installed quite early on, so my initial automation and reporting was based on UNIX pipelines. As the data volumes became bigger and the customer requirements became more demanding, I eventually bit the bullet and started learning perl one-liners to do some gymnastics that just weren't possible or practical with just bash (first big win was adding the MD5 of the line so that I could dedupe the obfuscated data).

This lead to eventually writing full scripts in perl and now I have basically all of my reporting automated, even able to take up some 'value add' reporting that I didn't think was going to be possible.

So yeah, not a new technology but I'm now a perl convert and will almost certainly use it in the future if I'm faced with a similar situation.
Hillary had 1.2m more votes in the election than Trump. That's not a small number. It indicates that the problem is more related to flaws in the election process than it is to Facebook having it's finger on the scale. This is the single cause of Trump "winning" this particular election.

> Maybe I am just overcomplicating things when programming

This is probably the root of the problem. But there is good news because a) many people suffer from this and b) they tend to be good or at least experienced programmers

For example; we use FizzBuzz and some algorithm challenges to screen new hire candidates - the number of times an otherwise great programmer has submitted a 100 line behemoth (for something that should be less than 10) is unamusing.

As others have said; sounds like youve cracked programmig, you now need to hone your craft by learning engineering methods and problem solving.

This is best achieved by doing; try building something useful based on an ambiguous goal (if you let us know what programming languages/interests you have then it might help get more specific advice). Work your way up to submitting patches to open source projects - where youll get valuable feedback that will help hone your method
