most people don’t react to insults with physical injury

I'm not quite so sure about that. Most people don't hurl insults face-to-face. If people acted like their twitter personalities IRL, I would expect to see a massive uptick in fistfights.
Really interesting study. Matches well with my own experiences.
I used to have recurring dreams (both specific instances recurring and themes recurring) which mostly revolved around being chased, being attacked, most often with knives (I grew up in Glasgow, and there's lots of them about).
I realised at some point that as my self-confidence grew (due to various factors), instead of getting caught in the dreams I would manage to escape and run away. And then eventually (with greater amounts of confidence) I started fighting back and winning.
These themes still recur when I'm in various states of high or low self-esteem/self-confidence. And there are separate themes related to separate fears which also follow this pattern.

It's a shame that so many people will blast studies like these for being too small, but it's the start that needs to happen before we get to the end, and I think it's fascinating work.
I hope to see more detailed investigations like this in future, and a building body of literature on the subject.
Eh, maybe for people who've been using it for years. When celebrities do AMAs without guidance by experienced users, they constantly reply to the wrong threads or even the thread itself. Formatting being hard (e.g. you have to press enter two times to do a single line break) also doesn't help.
I would agree that communism is better at regulating population than other forms of government. And since population pressure is the main driver behind incursion into wildernesses, I’d agree communism would handle over pop more “efficiently” but not morally better.

On the other hand communism typically suffered from stunted innovation, outside of targeted areas, so they probably would be worse off, if they didn’t import tech from non communist states.
What technical limitations allow us to genetically target mosquitos with this but not the malaria parasite itself?
I think any such algo is a non-starter and not very useful.

If we learned anything from the past it's that crypto works and can be deployed if it integrates without users noticing much and if the computational and speed overhead is small (or negative, which in the HTTPS case it often is).
Lunacy. Want your rival out of business? Spoof an email and get them to click on an untoward link. This burden of proof clause will no doubt be abused.

What about researchers attempting to understand the mechanisms of extremism? Can you get a permit to commit thought crime?
It should be trivial to build a server-side client app in the same manner, using an API for any persistence instead of directly accessing the database. Most of the full-stack frameworks (Django, Rails, Laravel etc) are unfortunately still conflating the persistent state entities with business logic objects.
like tests - types come with a cost.
they are not free and the category of errors they catch are quite simply.
also, in my experience, people that depend on types usually skip writing automated tests go directly to manual testing skipping the rest of the testing pyramid.
10 years and looking for an out. One thing to be aware of is that long stays are probably better with a large company with a slower rate of change. Staying at a small company for a long time is riskier in that you end up becoming more of a generalist, become the goto and the goat and are in real danger if the company changes leadership late in the game.
Find that as an older individual trying to get back into a 9-5 workplace after 10 years in a specialized environment (doing everything) does not translate well to the current market.
weird things happen sometimes. two weeks ago, I got a razorblade embedded in one of my tires exactly parallel to the tread. I think it happened while I was parking. I came out of the store only twenty minutes later to find my tire at 0 psi.
'1 year notice in the case of any services they plan to deprecate' - that is barely enough for a SMB and it is not possible or acceptable for any enterprise customer! Imagine how long it takes to investigate on new solutions, rewriting stuff, testing it, releasing, etc... 1 year is a joke which I might accept as a startup with a single node.js app but would not as a CTO of any company.

I want EV makers to succeed, but these vehicles haven't even launched yet (won't until 2020), so how can you say that? We'll know what kind of truck they really are once the general public gets their hands on them.

The two are not mutually exclusive.

Opiates, for example, do solve certain problems very effectively. That doesn't mean they're not extremely abusable and dangerous to use without proper caution.

Frankly, it's also going to be hard to distinguish between some types of addictive behaviors and people desperately seeking to avoid sinking back into the morass of their mental states prior to effective treatment.
Why Has Seed Investing Declined? And What Does This Mean for the Future?
This does not apply to the gaming industry. There are so many enthusiastic kids willing to work for peanuts that the salaries there are pretty low.

POLITIME – Raising Funds
We have recently launched phase one of out Non-Partisan Civic Social Network, POLITIME.us POLITIME presents all of the bills on the floor of Congress, allows users to vote on them and then our patent pending solution ranks every representative on a 10 star scale on a variety of categories. We are seeking a small seed investment to implement phase 2 development. Is this some thing that you could be interested in?
Thanks, I was also a little confused about that in the parent comment.
Uber’s Ludwig
Fair - and you are probably right. But I'd rather not get into semantics. You know what I meant.
It depends on what you consider “insult”.

From taking public transit, waiting in bus stops and walking through blue collar neighborhoods most insults are either ignored or get another insult in return.
Sure, but "If Person A wishes to survive, they must work" and "If Person A wishes to survive, either they or an ancestor must work" are very different things. If we feel like "he who does not work, does not eat" is a principle (and it's a very common one!), the ancestral exception doesn't make sense. I understand the ancestral exception exists, I'm just trying to push back on it being defensible. (Mostly because I think that it's equally defensible to have a blanket exception for "or lives in a society that can afford to feed and house them".)
Thank you very much for sharing your experience with dreams! I have made a website to gather scientific research on this interpretation https://docbt.org/ (Dream Orientated Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and we are on twitter too https://twitter.com/docbt1. I know that the gold standard of studies are random control trials, but to begin the argument I think that more qualitative studies can be useful to establish an idea. That was my intention with this paper.
If I understand you correctly, CLOCK LRU works like this, except without the memcpy swapping cost.

From what I've seen, at least in the sports arena, most of the physical fights start off with verbal insults. That could also be because sports already has an element of Us vs Them built into it. However, the speed with which things escalate from verbal insults is quite amazing.

>I feel like Kara Swisher just handled this in a bad way.

Isn't it on Twitter, you know the ones running and presumably most familiar with the platform, to request how the interview be done rather than for the interviewer to know the nuances themselves?
you battle combinatorial explosion by making a risk analysis on the code.
you split your code in pieces and unit test those. with unit-tests usually you can get full line + branch coverage, easily and quickly.
then you go one level up with the integration tests which these you test highly critical paths where the unittests work together.
and finally a black-box e2e test to make sure the pieces work regardless of the implementation details.
>aren't you already supposed to unload your vehicle before you jack it up on one side?

Eh, maybe?

You have to take the totality of circumstances into account. The jack (depending on the style, some are better than others) can probably take the weight in most circumstances. The vehicle can probably also tolerate the extra weight so long as it's not grossly overloaded or rusted. Whether you have any problems is going to depend more on the details of the location more than anything else.

You could go on Reddit and score a bunch of virtue points for saying nobody should ever jack up a vehicle in less than perfect circumstances but I think in the overwhelming majority of real world situations you do not need to unload the vehicle.
But even in those situations primed for antagonism fistfights and other are the exception. Ignorance and retorts are the most common reaction.

> The industry would be happy to pay us all 70k a year with 3% raises based on seniority, and sure, maybe the bottom third of the talent pool would benefit from that.

Talk about an inflated sense of ego there. Do you not consider the fact that people make less may have nothing to do with where they stand in the talent pool? You're suggesting there's some sort of logical relationship between income and talent. Does it? Are you sure it's not your own cognitive bias at work?

Scared that your own workers will unionize? I hate to break it to you, but your workers deserve the right to collectively bargain with you for what they consider to be fair. They are people and they deserve to be treated like humans, not your own expendable labor force.

> But the rest of us would see tens of millions of dollars chopped off of our expected lifetime income.

Who's the "rest of us"? You're arguing that we should all not organize because a handful of people might get rich. I hate to break it to you, but that dog-eat-dog mentality isn't helpful for workers or humanity. We're all in this together, it's not just jasonkester's world you live in. We're all humans living together, not just a salary attached to hands with programming ability.
If this is legal (this sort of law) under the ECHR and ECJ, then what’s the point of being in the EU?
Right. And people are corrupt to their very core. I look at every state now working to abrogate our fundamental rights and wonder where it all ends. You think they're going to stop with gun control? Oh no, you are in for a huge shock. That is just the beginning of what the powerful are going to take. They whittle away and concentrate power and one day you're eating from a garbage can wondering what he hell happened (Venezuela). News flash: You were stupid! That's what happened. The wielding of power is a zero sum game and all the people you listed are all schemers, scheming their way into your life to take what they want. The only chance we might have at stopping any of it is to gain some technological high ground--or go full on Norseman.

Funny you mention "smart contracts" because we used to have dumb ones, a written Constitution, a Bill of Rights, but that has all been washed away by human greed.
This is a very good point, but I will probably start taking one anyway...
And maybe that file happens to be an important encryption key. Or maybe a whole filesystem gets corrupted if some important metadata is. Or maybe your system develops a hardware problem over time, like an oxidized CPU pin or a contact in a memory slot and then you are getting flaky bits on a regular basis.
ECC is useless until you experience a problem of those kinds. And many people will never do. But some will. I have.
> I've heard internal numbers that Linux VMs outnumber Windows 2-to-1, but that they see long term value in doing a "lift and shift" of existing apps, then down the road sell them consulting services to migrate to .net.

Presumably they're making a profit on selling the linux VM's. I think MS have more or less accepted that windows has been outcompeted in the server OS market over the long term. It's hard to compete wih free...
I think cynically it is even worse than an honestly enforced abhorrent law. That one would last up until many people or some very high up gets hit by it. Send it to someone big in the media or the royal family and it would cause fuss and outrage.

This looks meant to be applied selectively in a very fascist way of only against those they want to get rid of and discredit or as a "we are making you safe!!!" propaganda point.
None of them are really "great". I get acceptable results with OpenLink Virtuoso if I give it a lot of RAM, tweak the configuration, and baby it when needed.
If you're using clang, I can recommend starting with libFuzzer. It's pretty straightforward to use - basically add one C file with a function definition, which gets called by the fuzzer engine with the test data. Add a bunch of compiler switches to the build, and you're done.

Note that for coverage-guided fuzzing you need a custom C/C++ build with some kind of coverage-tracking active.

See https://llvm.org/docs/LibFuzzer.html.
Are you equating Marxism with Nazism???

I'd accept a Stalism/Nazism (or maoism) equivocation.

Marxism is not like Nazism.
The link doesn’t work on my phone and he doesn’t spend any time discussing the cases. The article is not actually written about the “data”, it is simply there to add some kind of impression of rigor.
Wow, this must be some convincing propaganda to restrict even the viewing of it!
Unless you're going to be bored and miserable everywhere you go because you're looking for meaning and fulfillment in your 9-5 and the vast majority of paid work can't offer that.
Yeah, wow. That clause can be warped in far too many ways. "The defendant used the known terrorist network app Telegram to send encrypted information pertaining to local public transportation and multiple images of public landmarks to a Chinese national." <-- My trip to London on the weekend to see the British Museum, sending photos to my girlfriend.

Not sure about the back story of this. But it certainly seems like they didn't coordinate at all. @jack seemed very confused throughout.
To be fair, this is a really atypical mode of using Twitter. Normally it's used for shouting at your audience/someone you disagree with. It's rarely used for true conversations, so I can somewhat see why the CEO is unfamiliar with its performance in that role.
Over a decade ago a university student got held for six days[0] after viewing (and printing) some terrorist tactics which were apparently directly relevant to his research.

It's concerning that the sentences have now got even stricter and a hacked website could potentially land people in jail? Very bizarre.

The new Skype is a bad example. It's a perfect example of a designed-by-a-committee-of-managers product that tries and fails to understand the moving part of alternatives such as Slack, Facebook Messenger etc.
The first is about testing for banned words deliberately.

The second link appears to be about anti-spam suspensions related to people who controlled many different Twitter accounts simultaneously using bots, not content related enforcement.

The third link is about the following tweet:

"Can’t wait for November 4th when millions of antifa supersoldiers will behead all white parents and small business owners in the town square"

That isn't an "innocuous reply to harrassment" as you implied in your first comment.

So far I don't think you've demonstrated the point you were trying to make. None of the examples of these suspensions were replies to harassment.
The UK isn't the only country to be getting quite strict in this regard: Germany being a prime example.
Fascinating; I've never heard this. Can you recommend any reading material on the topic?
For reference, can you list the most important differences/things done right in Ruby-world packaging as compared with pip?
No. I’m saying _if_ they instituted an unfounded TOS against Marxism, that would have an inherent bias. I purposely left Maoism and Stalinism out due to their fascist nature.

Let’s say they were owned by Exxon, their TOS had that talking the negative aspects of fossil fuels was a violation, that would have an inherent anti Democrat bias, even if they didn’t have a stated anti Democrat bias.
That shouldn't fly with ECHR. Oh, wait...

But it's very practical to deal with uncomfortable dissent.
I've always considered Twitter an excellent platform for shouting into the void, but I can't imagine anyone would even consider having a conversation there.
I like to paste this awesome response from reddit whenever someone doubts these approaches (since I couldn’t put it better myself)

> Malaria is only carried by a tiny number of mosquito species. Of the thousands of species only something like a dozen actually matter to humans. We can target exactly the ones we want and even better : nothing stops us from maintaining a population in some labs somewhere.
If it turns out they matter in any significant way, contrary to various impact analysis... we just release them back into the environment.

> The current cost of not wiping out those few mosquito species is about half a million dead children.

The UK government is a leading terrorist organization.

That aside now members of this organization can send you an HTML formatted email that appears to lead to Disney.com but actually takes you to isis.org and send you to jail if you click on it.
Erradication of smallpox?
Yeah, absolutely no doubt that the court systems and judges are so stupid that they would put someone out of business for clicking a link. Absolutely no doubt. Will totally happen.

In the UK you follow the spirit of the law, not the exact wording. That means no, clicking a link that redirects you to some shady site does not mean the SWAT team are going to knock down your door and arrest you.

Also the burden of proof generally always lies with the prosecution. It being "abused" is called "making a case" and bears no relation to this law at all. If the case is shoddy, the defense will absolutely destroy it.
I did not downvote it (as you can see from replies I certainly don't find it embarrassing, and I am upset that AOC was forced to remove it), but

a) it's not factually correct - the document in question, while legitimate/authentic, is not the Green New Deal, it is entitled "Green New Deal FAQ"

b) it's clearly an internal document, not a public policy proposal: the very first line makes it clear this is internal strategy

c) it's from one prominent person in the Green New Deal movement and the other sponsors of the bill may well disagree with the proposals to ban airplanes and cows

d) I'm pretty sure the cow thing was a joke (of the form "of course we won't get rid of all emissions, obviously, cows are going to fart for as long as we have cows and nobody's getting rid of cows") - again, it's an internal reference sheet, the tone is obviously very different from a real, public proposal

e) it's basically political flamebait, very little there has to do with the intersection of the Green New Deal and the topic of the article (high-speed rail)

f) and as others pointed out, the actual Green New Deal is pro-electric-cars, so it's actively misleading for the tiny portion of relevance it has.
So, what can we do (in general) to stop this sort of "making stuff shittier" effect that seems inherent in Western Capitalism. Very rich, very successful companies buy products and make them worse -- what's the patch for that? Is there anything beyond government regulation, or "consumer buying power"?
Sports arenas -- at least in the U.S. and several other Western countries -- also serve alcohol, which aids in escalating such situations.
The UK has always had draconian policies ranging from an opt-in program for adult content (you have to tell your ISP you want to view adult content) to now this.

On Internet, there are trolls who will simply get you to click on something for the fun of it. I’m sure many of you remember Last Measure by GNAA (NSFL).

> It's rarely used for true conversations

Not a twitter user myself, but I've seen a lot of people use their twitter handles like they'd use an E-Mail address. They say "this is a twitter handle send me a DM if you want to talk with me" instead of "this is my E-Mail address please send me an E-Mail if you want to talk". So they do derive conversational value from twitter.
