Herrick vs. Grindr, Section 230 Case That Could Change Internet as We Know It
Because classifying huge amounts of content is highly non-trivial. It's not like there are a million employees sifting through every spidered resource and manually deciding whether it should be indexed.
Requires a princely 32K, or less than their logo.
yes, this could be called the "anti-google act" of 2019 ... google is basically the only company it applies to. facebook has never been a major venue for piracy (afaik?) so i don't think it even affects them much.

however, it is a good thing. youtube has always been a massive for-profit piracy operation, and they just license and pay the people who are big enough to threaten them. all small content creators get the shaft. even google search is mostly a form of piracy. taking other people's content and slapping ads on it.

google needs to die and it is nice to see the EU helping here.
This guy applauds airlines who fly the 757, like Icelandair. Icelandair has so many technical issues, that they rarely manage to make it across atlantic without significant delay. People who fly cross atlantic with Icelandair know what I mean

So no.
Even then: the Kildall negotiations evaporated because of superficial formalities (fear of signing an NDA, according to wiki), almost like a language barrier between corporate and upstart. Gates would have either not been given the same lawyer treatment or not have been intimidated by it since that culture was not foreign to him.
FAANG will be pissed but I doubt it really makes a dent. Their focus is Asia (has been since 2 decades now). Us Europeans are just a sleepy backwater of old people with lot of history which makes for nice tax havens and retirement homes.
> an administrator will prevent you from editing until you choose a new username, and you can continue afterward.

No, an admin may instantly block you permanently, or may temporarily block you until you change your name, or may temporarily block you while they discuss it with you, or may not block you but apply one of two templates, or add your name to a username for discussion board where you'll have to try to justify your name.

EDIT: Reads some stuff about his company. He knows that information is factually incorrect. It's not harmful to his company, but it is misleading to people reading Wikipedia. He signs up for an account.

If he signs up a "xargleblarg" he's fine, he can edit the article.

If he choses to be open and honest and he signs up as "Bob from BobCo" he faces instant blocks across multiple policies (COI, Spam, spam username), even if those policies are being incorrectly applied.

More related to the write up on the 757, but it really is a versatile plane.

They started taking the -300 into DCA a few years back and it's a bit nerve wracking. Barely enough runway for takeoff and doing the river visual approach -- which has you hang a hard right over the 14th Street bridge so low that you can read people's phones through their sunroofs -- is extra cozy.

there's no difference between blizzard and activision now, from an ideological perspective.
The quality of life difference between being poor and being rich is much greater than the difference between being rich and being ultra rich.

From that perspective it makes sense to focus on wealth preservation.
Reading through that page, it feels like a case of the core rules being really simple, but a lot of ink being spent being very particular about defining the edge.
The first paragraph is:

> This page in a nutshell: When choosing an account name, do not choose names which may be offensive, misleading, disruptive, or promotional. In general, one username should represent one person.

Seems fine to have the sussinct description at the top followed by details on the same page. If there really are lots of people that have issues picking a username (these policies seem petty typical so I’d expect most users to be fine) then a link from the create account page would be a good idea.
This just sounds like you ended up with a bad manager, rather than a failure inherent to all management. A good manager would have recognised that you're pretty much capable of knowing where to focus your effort, and generally get that call right - given that they can be more or less hands off, but provide you with a screen from things that really shouldn't be getting near you in the first place, and a route to push things up the chain when needed without having to shepard them along.

Why would any game company be Mac first? Mac is a small slice of the pie of computers. Mac gamers would be a crumb. It's not exactly a surprise they would target a platform that has actual market share.
YouTube has stated that if this passes, "EU residents are at risk of being cut off from videos that, in just the last month, they viewed more than 90bn times" – i.e. despite all the overblocking and mistakes, still too much slips through ContentID for them to take the risk of direct liability. https://youtube-creators.googleblog.com/2018/11/i-support-go...
GDPR caused some non EU media businesses to preemptively block EU users because their primary readership is not in the EU and their primary business model is abusing their users in ways that GDPR restricts.

GDPR did not really change the media landscape in the EU. Business as usual here. Mostly companies went through a brief period where they had to consult lawyers and expensive agencies on how to cover their asses. Mostly good things have started happening after that. Some companies that were doing technically unacceptable things under pre-GDPR legislation have now grudgingly stopped doing those things.

In a podcast I recently listened to (in german) there was the example of a manager who always came home totally stressed from the drive until he added a daily stop a few kilometer before arrive home, just to get out the car, enjoy the view and calm down from the day and job. Worked like a treat.
"Commitment" to a discussion is optional. It's perfectly reasonable to give your point of view, and come back a few days later to see if there were any interesting replies.

English is a second language for me and compared to many other languages it's comparatively very simple, or at least you can start to understand and speak it at very basic level incredibly quickly. The biggest issue with English is completely inconsistent and illogical pronunciation, you can have two words that have the same spelling but different meaning depending on how they are pronounced - read and read for example. But the grammar is almost laughably simple and the lack of any sort of variation when it comes to gendered adjectives and verbs puts it firmly in the category of easy languages to learn.
> Legal content should not be blocked.

I don't think this will happen, but if this is actually made into a liability then this would create a rather interesting situation where a platform could be sued for blocking fair use content and miss-identified content.
> Implicit in my previous comment is that, because it's harder making things move in Big Corp one tends to learn more, both as an engineer and as a human. Finding the right technical path through a heavily used, critical system is an interesting challenge, and evolving legacy systems, or spawning new work in a large org requires lots of communication, as well.

Unfortunately the peril one often encounters in such ecosystems is that "the right technical path" for working with BigCo's system is totally un-translateable to general working knowledge. By that I mean it often means having to work around specific constraints that have evolved and are specific to that BigCo and not to other BigCo's, let alone to smaller startups. It also pushes you to generally work with technology which may be a bit older, which can often mean having to accept that current best practices simply aren't at play.

I do agree with the second part of your thesis, which is that the social challenges of working in a big company are significant and can make one very well suited generally for management and leadership in a way that's not the case at a smaller company.
Not unless their lawyers somehow keep the regulation from being enforced for them indefinitely.

I seem to have this fleeting anxiety with me all the time that gets triggered very easily.
It seems as if part of me mind is always focused on my body sensations and goes off when I try to focus my mind off my body.
I’m also triggered by any thoughts of illness or falling sick. Just reading about how anxiety can cause problems in this thread triggered me.
I’ve tried myriad of medications and therapy such as CBT, talk therapy, hypnosis , yoga, Chinese herbal medicine , accupuncture, Ayurvedic treatments, SSRIs, benzos, Xanax, remeron, risperdol etc. Even exercise doesn’t really help.

I’m currently on a very low dose of Prozac for sleep. Most medications help with sleep at the very least.

I still need to try a SNRI but after that I need may try some hallucinogens as I’ve never done so, and people seem to be responding well to it.

I’m currently late 30s and don’t have any physical problems but in the back of my mind I’m always afraid I’m going to get sick soon.
I eat bowl of veggies with every meal now, I do yoga prayanamic exercises in the morning and I try to walk daily or almost daily.

As for anxiety ,

I’m not sure if it’s due to my childhood (Dad was abusive and very angry ) or if it’s genetic.
My dad has cooled down now so my relationship with him is okay. I don’t have any flashbacks or anything so I’m assuming my problem is genetic?

Nonetheless, I want to feel some what normal. Part of me wants to go into the health field just to understand what’s going on in the body and have more control.
I also want to reverse aging as I feel like I missed out a lot of my earlier years due to anxiety.

I only started programming a couple of years ago and would need to become much better at data mining , machine learning to be of help to researchers. Though I’m really curious about lab work as well and really would like more biochemistry, microbiology etc.
Ideally I would to get I knowledge in both. It seems most researchers have decades a of knowledge though and not sure if I can be of any help. I’m very curious about these science fields and like to watch moocs to build my knowledge.
> If you're white. If you're black, the median is $34K. So, only like, 1/3 less. Or if you're asian, the median is $72K.

Lol, that single fact makes the "white people oppress everybody else" nonsense fall on its face. I wonder why it's not often used as a rebuttal.
Correct - this proposal is coming from the EPP, the largest party in the EU parliament. Predictably, most of their MEPs will just blindly vote for it along party lines. Language barriers are crucial in terms of their constituency universe (plus the older demographic skew). Their voters don't read Reddit, Twitter or anything in English and this issue is nowhere near their radars.

Biting newbies is one of the main problems for Wikipedia, and the hostile way the username policy is applied is one example of biting newbies.

And it's really inconsistant: depending who's looking at the name the new user may get instantly blocked permanently; may have to go through RFC/usernames, may have to discuss with admins on usernames for admin attention or on ANI, may have to discuss with admins on their userpage, may have to discuss with non-admins on their userpage.
I spoke German and Italian before learning English, and English didn't seem that terribly hard. Most words have the same stem as latin or germanic languages so it's easy to remember the vocabulary. The grammar isn't very complex. And there aren't special letters in the alphabet.
Only the pronounciation is complex, because things are often spoken differently than how they are written.
So by this logic, would Northern China be less lean than Southern China since the North is more grain as a staple than the rice eating South...?
I think the notability guidelines are wrong headed.

There doesn't seem to be rhyme or reason to whether something is deemed to be 'notable'.

Worse, you put off people like the grandparent who actually attempt to contribute.

We all want accurate and reliable sources, but why not work with people, rather than just deleting?
Or why not a 2 stage process. Have a staging area for pages that aren't good enough. Then promoted to wikipedia proper when good enough?

What happens in X years time, when that file format is 'notable'? You've lost the person most inclined to write the document, and lost historical context from a living document.

The BBC had a habit in its early days of reusing 'old' film. What could have been a treasure trove is now lost. I cant help feeling wikipedia is being similarly short sighted.

Government shutdown: TLS certificates not renewed, many websites are down
There are good general rules in a few comments here, but I think it's ok to say that in 2018 the specialization arrived to a point where system/low-level is too large to reply in a good way? One thing is to write games engines, another is to write networking code, yet another embedded systems, device drivers and so forth. There are certain common aspects, but the details of what you need to know change significantly.

Anyone else having a hard time with the infograph? Why not just use the usual rectangular shape instead of circle?
I don't seem to have been clear enough: it's not just the policy, but the ways in which the policy is applied.

For a few years the new username lists were trawled by vandal patrols and there was a lot of biting of newbies -- so much that "don't bite the newbies" had to be added to the policy pages.

For example: the section on "confusing usernames". This was added to avoid people suggesting they were a bot account if they weren't a bot account, or were an admin if they weren't an admin, or to prevent impersonation.

So, if you register as "kjwenflkjclnaksdnalmsd" that's confusing, but it's not against the policy. Except a lot of people reporting usernames hadn't bothered to read the policy, and so they were just reporting names like that as confusing. For sometime people using their real names in a non-latin script were being blocked because their name was "confusing". This again led to changes in policy.

What WP really needs to do (and what they've actually done) is have a bot that checks usernames and places them on a list with descriptions of the problems, and warnings about why it might not be a problem. (There are differences between "WhitePower88" and "MartyJenkins88") -- and then have people checking the list.
Exactly. I would argue that the existence of giant, monopolistic companies like Amazon leads to increased income inequality and social instability. We shouldn't be figuring out how to order our economy to make more Amazons, we should be trying to reduce the harm of the current ones with stronger employee protections, stronger consumer protections and stronger anti-trust enforcement.
I disagree that it's the solution, unless you can find a few meals that all require the same ingredients but are cooked differently. Otherwise you end up eating the same thing multiple times a week... Which just gets old. I'm fine eating dinner one night and leftovers for a day or two, but I don't wanna do it all week, even if you slightly change it up (mix grilled chicken in a salad, then a burrito, soup, etc)
What about a Github Gist (or similar) or an actual code repo somewhere (wouldn't necessarily have to have actual code, could just be a readme)?

Also out of interest, what is the file format?
> especially with names.

That makes sense! Since names will always lack disambiguating context. And I've seen that in Chinese movies come to think of it.

It happens in English too: Is your name Kerry or Carrie?

I assume you'd be happy for EU businesses to reciprocate and pay US sales taxes on goods & services sold into the US?

Even if you are, I'm not actually sure that would be better for anyone involved. Seems like it would essentially stop or severely diminish online commerce between US/EU as too much hassle.

Come on, I don't believe Bezos would put on his slippers and retire to a country cottage because tax rates were too high.

While money is certainly an incentive to innovate, it's also not the only incentive (and probably far down the list if you're already rich), and creative, driven people will do what they do whether or not a chunk of their "earnings" gets given/taken back to the society that enables them to do it.
A "living wage" depends on where you live.

It's pretty common to see articles about people moving from SF to the Mid-West, taking a pay cut but being happy because they improve their standard of living.

We also see articles about people moving from the mid-Est to Thailand, taking a pay cut but being happy because they improve their standard of living.

Going by the BigMac index for example[1], it is perfectly reasonable to think that developers in the Philippines, Vietnam or India would be happy on roughly 50% of a US salary (presumably a non-SF salary too). Obviously this is very much a rough guide, but it's something to start from.

You can say anything you want about the EU, but it's perfectly functioning and always has been.
No, it does not. Even if Unity grants an exception to the games already in development, they've nipped the longevity of the integration in the bud.

Why would Improbable continue to support Unity long term when it's a dead end for them?

Unity has just done something actively hostile to their users, and they're attempting to downplay it, poorly.

The strategy is legal, political and economic harmonisation. It does this by passing vague legislation that requires its own court to interpret. Everything else, literally everything, is secondary. And so a nation state is born.

Yes, but the rules govern intentionally abandoning games, not disconnections you may not have control over.

> “If you're disconnects are significantly higher than that, you're probably not the target market for on-line blitz chess.”

It’s not very common and it’s not predictable or uniform (not even in subway tunnels). But if someone reports you for disconnecting, it autonatically locks you out from playing and emailing to the support email gets no response to unlock in false positive cases.

Also, just in the basic rules of chess, your opponent can do whatever they want with their clock time. You’ve agreed to abide by that rule by agreeing to play. If they want to take 4:00 to think about their sixth move in a 5/0 game, they are perfectly allowed, and may even still win if you blunder.

There’s no time limit per move beyond the first move and the overall clock time. Disconnections (when the player might return) are no different.
Thank you for the book recommendation, I've been looking at F# as a new language for a while but there are quite a few books and it's sometimes hard to figure the wheat from the chaff.

No, FAANG will not be targeted. Even GDPR which would have been able to piss of facebook was not used to attack them. Only small companies have been attacked because of GDPR violations. Inoffically they have told people they will not attack the big ones because they have enough lawyers so an attack on e.g. facebook will be too time consuming.
I love this quote: "Which means it's doubly important to hire the best people. Mediocre hires hurt you twice: they get less done, but they also make you big, because you need more of them to solve a given problem."

> The downside of thinking you're lucky is a tendency to overlook problems. I've noticed that when people (including myself) are being overly optimistic, potential challenges and pitfalls are minimized.

One could argue that it is that exact overlooking of the problems that enables many to embark in entrepreneurial pursuits to begin with.
