Are you trying to use this question as a rhetorical device, or are you genuinely asking what Facebook has done wrong?

If you're being genuine, the answer is:

* They allowed for advertising campaigns using their tools which were flat out illegal (e.g.: Real-estate advertising targeted based on race.)

* They have failed to meaningfully control over illegal uses of their platform in any way. (See: The current Rohingya issue)

* They were far too liberal with access to user data, in a way that is currently driving a debate around the legality of doing so. (Cambridge Analytica, etc.)

* They have built tools that are ideal for doing things like illegally swaying elections. ("Russia doing stuff".)

I can only assume there are many other things that Facebook have made possible which are illegal and completely unnoticed. It's hard to try to build any sort of exhausted list of unknown unknowns, though, so I'll leave it at a prominent four.

-

If you're using rhetoric, the thing you'll probably say next is "but that's not Facebook being bad, that's people using Facebook! You can't blame a tool for how it's used!", but the problem with that is that Facebook exerted editorial control over the platform in numerous ways over the time period in which these things happened, both in advertising and in news-feed sorts of ways.

Any person doing any of these things would be punished.

Any person aiding and abetting any person doing any of these things would be punished.

Why not Facebook?
Weird, in the article there's an image of the affirmation in Texas code. The second section has definitions, and the second definition starts:

> 2. "Company" means a ...

But the word "company" isn't used elsewhere in that image, so why are they defining it?

Maybe the affirmation image is clipped in such a way to remove the use of that word. Or maybe the law was really that shoddily written.
Thanks for these links.
But more than this, I am looking forward to designing beautiful and captivating websites.
Would like to have some lessons on that.
Apologies. I stand by my point of it being a difference in degree, but I did state it too broadly.

It is however a very tasty elimination diet. I've tried it; ate all kinds of beef, lamb, pork, and fish: muscle meat, liver, roe, eggs, and somes dairy. Re: inflammation - I don't know what my hsCRP was beforehand, but during this experiment it was below the detectable range; all other inflammatory markers were low as well (insulin, IFG-1, fibrinogen, homocysteine, ferritin). I was only hungry about once a day, and leaned out quite a bit.

This article has some good points, but I don't agree with it's treatment of the SPDY->HTTP/2 and QUIC->HTTP/3 process. In both cases, Google engineers identified a real problem, made a prototype solution, encouraged others to implement it, and ultimately participated as core members of standardizing what is in some sense a "v2" protocol built on the lessons of their initial experiments. The article presents the working group as fighting to de-Googlify the protocols, but the reality seems to be that Google was working closely as members of that committee, and the new versions were intended to be better for everyone.

The monopolistic action would be to design a new protocol then keep it proprietary and secret so your competition can't have services or browsers that are as fast. That's not what happened.
I think recycling is the distraction that packaging companies use to stop the public being infinitely angry with them for spewing infinite garbage into the world.

Hey, it's OK that we're making never ending garbage, look, its being recycled!

But the reality is that most recycling was just garbage being sent to China and now China has stopped accepting it the lie of recycling has been exposed. Gigantic piles of "recycling" are accumulating around the world.

"Recycling" isn't any solution to the garbage manufacturing industry / packaging industry.

If we want a world that isn't "garbage world" then we have to stop paying companies to make garbage/packaging.

Sure. But that's different than "require reuse" (implying penalties if not) and "tax paid on X". Your city was wise to encourage recycling, but others telling people to just eat cake after they impose penalties/taxes are not the ones really negatively affected by the taxes anyways.

if a user selects a bunch of options and records in the interface and then wants to pull an aggregate report on specific items which would translate into some AND id IN (...).

what if you need to delete a bunch of specific records in a single HTTP request with REST? you're fucked. DELETE is designed to deal with one record at a time [1]. sure, DELETE could have a body, but the recommendation is to ignore it [2].

to operate on multiple specific records, you're stuck doing at least 2 requests. a POST that asks the server to create some temporary "collection" record. and then use the new URI of that collection to perform more operations. why do all this overhead when you can just do the delete operation with a POST request and a body filled with record ids?

i could continue, but it should be obvious that REST was designed with the server as the center of the universe. when trying to shoehorn this worldview into modern fat clients and high-perf SPAs, it very quickly falls down.

So, I worked for six months as a subcontractor on the Raytheon GPS OCX project, but only the unclassified stuff.

We helped them take their datacenter deployments from a matter of months to a matter of hours -- using Chef. Once it's all powered and racked and stacked, we got the base OS plus the core apps and their configurations deployed very quickly. Towards the very end of the time I was there, we did a demo on a virtual datacenter that literally took just about three hours to execute from start to finish.

Definitely one of the projects that I am proudest of working on.

One of the things I heard many times while I was in Colorado was that the Lockheed guys got the easy job -- all they had to do was design and launch new birds.

The Raytheon guys said that they had gotten the hard job, because they had to handle all ground control operations for the current fleet of satellites, plus all the ground control operations for the new fleet of satellites.

And the Raytheon guys were pretty proud of that fact.
Other industries cancel products too. Something like 80% of all drugs that start being test never make it to market, for example. Other industries will have multiple draft proposals being drawn up, often at great cost, only to dismiss all except one.

Google's business depends largely on technologies and useful tools for the users and customers. The trust is somewhat involved too - users think Google won't do horrible things with their data - and Google won't (selling the data to the advertising industry is not considered horrible by Google' users). Customers think Google won't do horrible things to them too, as do shareholders, and they are obviously right. So a reasonable amount of trust involved, but it's not about China.

I did the research when interviewing for a job in NYC.

What would cost ~3500 in SF was more like 1500-2000.

NYC has much better transit - I could commute in from Park Slope to Manhattan and have a 1500 studio which would have been much much more expensive if I say, commuted from Mission to Civic center on BART.

It is significantly cheaper if you don't live in Manhattan, and transit allows that
I personally hope this doesn't distract from the hype and progress around RISC-V.

I'm very biased against companies/tech projects that go open source as a last ditch attempt to stay in competition when it's clear that an open source solution is gaining steam/mindshare -- it always seems disingenuous.

>no one really knows what they're doing. Even Feynman said that no one understands QM

Quantum field theory makes possible the single most accurate predictions in all of science. Time and time again people whip out the Feynman (mis)quote to try to argue "oh we don't really know what's happening", but just cannot see why they think that way. Science is about finding observing reality and formulating descriptions with predictive power, and qft is objectively the best description any person has figured out so far.

>Modern QFT is like being given a laptop with an Excel spreadsheet that does some clever things, without having any idea what a processor is, what memory is, how a hard drive works, or why the case is that funny shape.

Again, preposterous. We know how qft works (we've come up with it, after all), and we know how to use it to make predictions and confirm them experimentally. If you mean know in a deeper, fuzzy sense, they maybe, maybe not.

>the fundamental problem - reconciling GR and QFT - can't be solved without a completely new mental model

>It's become a bit of a cargo-culty pursuit.

If you come up with a better idea than the current understanding, publish your findings and you will instantly become the most respected, popular, and influential physicist alive.

I will concede though that sadly funding is allocated more to "safer" avenues of research than novel ones. That's certainly a problem.
The blog post you link to criticizes MIPS because it has pipeline hazards and branch delay slots. MIPS had hazards in 1985. MIPS II eliminated hazards. No MIPS processor released after 1989 has hazards. Branch delay slots are no big deal once you know they're there. There are a number of equally questionable design decisions in RISC-V, such as variable length instruction encoding and dest, src order of instruction operands. But RISC-V does have momentum.
Same here. Played through Half Life 1 with no mishaps at all, but an hour or so of Half Life 2 used to make me very sick.

>I have evidence

Then why not present it? Until you establish it is fact, then yes it is your belief.

>You decided to ignore a statement you agreed with for another you wanted to attack.

I have no idea what you mean.

>The largest pro life groups (as a body made up of pie slices) does evidently (ie have evidence) that supports

The link you provided says otherwise. It very clearly shows the largest pro-life group has no position on birth control.

>Which is what was being referenced by at least a partial correctness

That does not make logical sense. The statement "conservatives support abortion because they hate women and want to control their bodies" is not proven to be partially correct even if you believe that all conservatives oppose birth control. Opposing birth control is not hating women.

>For the time, it was right as right can be

No it was not. Incorrect isn't correct if you simply don't know any better.

>Good luck with your religious convictions to these issues.

I find it interesting that you ignore what I say, try to attribute what I say to malice, claim your belief is objective fact, and still suggest that I am the one with religious conviction here. "Conservatives hate women because I say they do" is not fact, no matter how many times you repeat it.

This doesn't deserve downvotes. Some of the products of the referendums (prop 13, for example) have had disastrous long term consequences.
Anything can be jammed, you just need enough power. Having a secret spread spectrum code helps. It's the same principle but easier to understand in the frequency hopping case. In that case, suppose you want as much jamming power as signal power, you have to spread it out across the whole band because you don't know where the next frequency hop is going to be. So if say the system uses 1/100 of the available bandwidth at any one time, now the jammer needs to be 100x as powerful to jam the whole band with the same power as the jammed system. Still, the satellite puts out a low power signal from thousands of miles away, so the jammer starts with an advantage.

Where the new block iii satellites will improve this is with a spot beam that can be directed at a particular area on earth where the jamming is expected, and locally get about 100x the power. I suspect that you'll see more directional antennas and phased arrays applied to GPS receivers as well, since the angular direction to the satellite is known, and it's difficult to put the jammer right in the path of between the receiver and the satellite.

There are no "handwavy" fundamentals. The theory is well-studied, well-understood, sound, and produces verifiable results. It is, however, incomplete, in that it does not provide an explanation for certain phenomena.
McIlroy literally calls it a script in his review (notice the ${1}).

Wow, that really doesn't work very well (obviously) if you're running a portrait setup. It's surprisingly legible once you get the orientation right, though.
I imagine that if you have one discrete layer from input to hidden that you could then treat the hidden layer(s) dynamics as continuous from there on until the next change of dimension. You should still be able to back propagate through a continuous-discrete or discrete-continuous boundary.
There should be a lot of literature on this in control systems simulation.

The other thing you can do is to "pad" the input up to be the size of the hidden layers.

No, I'm definitely not missing your point, I'm disagreeing, fyi and your comment is shocking and repulsive.

You are justifying, on cultural grounds, the mass incarceration of a minority because 'they could pose a potential social problem, even though they are not presently' which is abhorrent.

Yes a 'cultural context' of Han ethnocentric racism and open bigotry, perhaps, but of course this isn't really justifying anything.

There is no rationalization for arbitrarily incarcerating massive parts of the population, it basically doesn't make any sense at all.

Especially considering the none of the Falun Gong, Tibetans, Uighurs represent any threat to China's peace in the first place.

Every place on Earth has had some degree of calamity or violence in the past, and China has definitely had it's share of mass murder (giving and receiving), there's no shortage of this in their own history books, if anything they should be even more enlightened about it all.

There are no cultural arguments that can be made here, the situation, particularly because of the deaths and subsequent organ harvesting, is approaching 'holocaust' terms.

Escape from Tarkov developer abuses DMCA system on YouTube to silence criticism
Youtube user Eroktic reports on a potential vulnerability in Escape of Tarkov that would allow people to gain access to private user details and Battlestate Games (developer of the game) responds with 44 DMCA takedown notices.

They made two statements in response on FAcebook:

https://twitter.com/bstategames

Apart from being illegal, this is such an unprofessional way to deal with:

1. a report of a security vulnerability (even if the user didn't go through the appropriate channels to report this to the developer)
2. negative criticism.

Thoughts?
It probably isn't constitutional, but the process is that things don't get actually declared unconstitutional until someone with standing (this woman who lost her job) sues and the courts decide the question.

And that's exactly what she's doing. The lawsuit names the 1st and 14th Amendments in its cause of action, says that political speech is important, and that there's Supreme Court precedent that boycotts count as political speech.

Then it asks the judge to declare the law unconstitutional and unenforceable. As well as some other stuff like declaring void such provisions in existing contracts, issuing an injunction against including the provision in future contracts, etc.

That feeds the point about market share though, at what point is iOS too much of a luxury brand that doesn't support the effort to get over that hump of "works in Chrome, ship it"?

"I don't care if the Maserati owner can't buy these wiper blades, because look how many more GMs and Fords there are on the road every day. I bet the Maserati owner flogs themselves if they accidentally even drive in the rain, how often do you think they replace their wipers?"

iOS market share, and it's luxury brand demeanor, leaves it at great risk. I don't know where that line is, myself, but pinning hopes on iOS preventing a browser monoculture seems increasingly desperate looking at current world figures.
