Sure but the point still stands. Why should anyone trust that you, or your company, is any good at security compared to say CIS?

If you have homegrown security and can show your QSA your detailed policy document and that it's a superset of CIS, STIG, NIST, etc. with documented exceptions then it'll be no problem.

I avoid homegrown whenever possible because it's a rabbit hole that never ends. If you instead say CIS level 2 then you can clearly define when you've done enough.
> There have of course been some blots on the record, but I don't see how it can be denied that net-net, white Europeans have made a better job of running fair and stable societies than has any other group.

If colonialism, WW2 and USSR are 'blots' he might have to reexamine his definition of 'blot'.

White supremacists hold themselves up as people willing to speak difficult truths. But their logic tends to be pretty question begging. It's like atheists who claim religion is the root of violence, all the while ignoring the genocidal atheists regimes of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Are you on a mac? 99% of times it's because of an external mouse connected.

edit: the css for the element that overflows has: `grid-template-columns: 50vw 50vw;` and based on the spec: https://www.w3.org/TR/css3-values/#viewport-relative-lengths, scrollbars are not taken into account, therefore as long as you have a _forced_ scrollbar, the content WILL overflow regardless of your screen size.

By forced I mean a scrollbar you cannot remove and that's not enforced by your systems settings, you can clearly see this behaviour on mac if you toggle the "Show scroll bars" setting to "Always".

Safari and webkit based browsers can avoid this issues with `::-webkit-scrollbar{ display: none}` but it's not a cross browser solution nor a wise decision to hide scrollbars overall.
I would recommend "Fermat's Enigma" by Simon Singh. It's is book that goes into the heart of how mathematics is sometimes elusive to the most sincere pursuit and at the same time yields itself to a creative mind that chases it with passion.
Is it their fault that they are born?
I have used the same mobile number for about 20 years, and always answer my phone when it rings. I would say I receive perhaps 5-10 robocalls per year. It ain't everybody, but it is a big problem.

One piece of anecdata I'd note is that I'm around people all the time, and their phones are seldom ringing. When they do ring, they at least look at it.

There’s a distinction between what these companies can predict about you vs what they can roll up into products that other entities want to pay for.

For example, a ton of advertisers will predetermine some targeting criteria based on simple demographics, brand loyalty or rewards program data, etc. and then commit to it for a whole ad campaign, even if it means leaving money on the table by not electing to dynamically shift into more precise targeting.

For these clients, no amount of fancy predictive capability or algorithmic targeting will matter, they just don’t care. So Facebook or whomever just offers them big, sloppy and easy-to-conceptualize segments or buckets of users. They just want aggregate intelligence anyway, so nobody in the transaction cares much if it’s wrong about your age bracket or general TV interests.

This doesn’t mean Facebook is unable to produce far more alarming forecasts of your behavior, or assign you to categories based on things like political activism, privacy conscientiousness, or detect personal life details like your location trail, purchases, etc.

The really scary stuff just doesn’t end up being surfaced in connection to lowest common denominator adtech products.

A "that's what she said" detector can be implemented as a two class identification problem. This 2011 describes one algorithm that achieves 71% precision: That's What She Said: Double Entendre Identification https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/P11-2016

I believe they could have done an even better job with better training (and test) data. It seems to me there's a big problem with how they selected the negative examples: one of the sources is a set of racy text messages, which would be rife with positives. They claim TWSS positives are rare in general, but I doubt that holds for a sexy text messages corpus.

Their overall strategy is pretty interesting though (not deep learning).

This is an amazing list. It might not be 100% fair since a few products got replaced with something better, but I think most didn't.

Fundamentally, Google is just an advertising company that happens to employ very smart people. If you go to work for Google, you have to understand from the outset that you're working for an advertising company and you're not going to change the world. You might be allowed to work on a fun project, but if it doesn't directly serve the needs of advertising it will be shut down. But hey, it'll look good on your resume.
Yes, you're right about the need for many flat tables specific to each vertical. However, if other aspects of these verticals need to be specific to the vertical anyway (for example, UI: weather for the week is presented differently than a list of movies and their ratings; or: data quality), then there's still a significant amount of eng work per vertical, so that data flattening step may not be the bottleneck in growing the number of verticals served...
I can only assume Google doesn't want their reviews brigaded by publicity incidents like this.

While I don't think Google always knows best, it does bring up the question of if you were building a review site (i.e yelp or otherwise) if you would permit such brigading. Personally, I think it would be difficult to tell between spam and brigading, so it's best to take this approach.

Go back to Silicon Valley then. As an east coast dev i could care less if Amazon came here. The less we have tomdo with their awful business practices the better.
There’s a lot of solar waste. The manufacturing process produces it, and the cells don’t last forever so after 20-30 years, they become waste too. (Not arguing against solar power, I’m very much in favor, but that’s just how it is.)

Paradoxically, nuclear waste gets a lot of attention because there’s so little of it. It’s a small enough problem for people to pay attention to. Far bigger waste problems are ignored because they’re too hard to think about.
They Made $1M+ on Upwork
You'll love my story. I'll keep it short.

Basically, one day, I started getting pressure and pain and ringing in my ear. It was really bad about every other day. I went to an ENT and he diagnosed me with meniere's disease and told me that I had permanent hearing loss. I kept going to doctors. One of them diagnosed me with endolymphatic hydrops.

I spent a month or so obsessively reading research papers, and internet sites seemed to basically be support groups for people whose lives are ruined and can never think straight again.

I had good reason to suspect it was an autoimmune disease, because steroids cured my symptoms. I also had my personal suspicions that wheat was involved but I couldn't correlate anything.

So I started eliminating foods and keeping a food diary. Long story short, about a year later, I was very confident that wheat was my biggest trigger. If I eat a large amount of wheat, my symptoms come back 36 hours later, and last for at least 2 days.

I struggled with the fact that I have no doctor suggestions, or diagnosis, or study of what problem I have, what it is, or any way to prove to anyone else that wheat is causing my problem. Most people think that I'm just jumping on a gluten free fad bandwagon. Oh well. I've tested it about 8 times, including blind tests where I accidentally ate wheat. I've been almost symptom free for like 2 years now.
Like reading mode (F9) on certain websites? Doesn't show ads, so why should big business support it?
>Phone books were not instantly searchable in bulk all across the globe.

I think this is something that's overlooked. Think back to the 80s. A lot of things that are legal but would be creepy are very time intensive - following someone around takes time. If you photograph them you have to develop film (and you won't know if the photos turned out until then). And while it may have been legal, social norms said don't stalk people - don't expect a social life if you follow people around photographing them.

Now what would have been a week long horror montage is accomplished with a single web search and perusal of their Instagram.

You have a misunderstanding of inflation. The company can increase it's prices at the pace of inflation and in real terms nothing will change.

> For real estate, its not just the draconian zoning and NIMBYism that drives prices, its the rampant use of it as an investment by the rich.

These go together though. The reason we have draconian zoning is to keep real estate prices high, because the rich want them that way when their money is invested in real estate. And the reason the rich speculate on real estate is that we have restrictive zoning that keeps the price going up.

If we fixed the zoning so that it was easier to build smaller units with more density and less parking etc. then construction companies would build those. Then the rich would have to buy twice as many units. But they don't suddenly have twice as much money, so the cost per housing unit comes down. The units would be smaller, but at least people could afford them. And then the fact that people don't have to buy more than they need would reduce the demand for larger units and generally make housing less of a worthwhile investment vehicle, deterring continued speculation.

> That is in large part caused by gross wealth inequality giving the rich so much money they cannot reasonably invest it in productive business so they hoard it in housing.

This is caused by the combination of low interest rates and low inflation. Money is cheap, so borrowing it to speculate with is profitable. But we can't raise interest rates because that's deflationary and there is already less than the optimal amount of inflation.

In principle we could fix this rather quickly by just printing a giant pile of money and giving it out to everybody at the same time as we raise interest rates. People would use the new money to pay back their loans and avoid the new higher interest rates, so you get neither inflation nor deflation (since the two forces cancel), just a return to sane interest rates and a major reduction in total outstanding debt.

> Nothing, especially the equilibrium of necessities and the general labor market, is as one dimensional as "we need less regulation and everything would be better!"

No, but there is a hierarchy. Good regulation > no regulation > bad regulation.

And good regulation is really hard, and bad regulation is a lot of what we have right now.

It would be great to have some real geniuses at the helm who can make everything better, but given that we don't, we're still better off to at least stop having the things that are actively making it worse.
No. I found almost all ads annoying and just want to block them. If they get to know me better, they have a chance of being less annoying.

Somewhat dated but...I really like "A Logical Approach to Discrete Math" by Gries and Schneider. It uses an algebraic approach to introduce logic then works its way into number theory, graphs, and sets. There are a lot of good exercises and the topics are highly relevant for CS.

The content is so valuable that it deserves a year in high school in my opinion, though that is a minority view where I live.
Yikes! My one was and still is $63.70/year. I wonder what makes a domain "premium" anyway, and what makes it more or less premium? Never even seen a live .app domain anyway so that sort of makes them not premium at all.
Yeah, what I'm getting at more is the stuff that doesn't make it to the level of the media, but some guy could still use to make money. The media won't care about some random lawyer having an affair, but the lawyer's wife would. The media won't care about some random doctor who talked about how she could off the sub-human blacks if she wanted, but it'll be about 5 seconds before lawyers and, more importantly, medical review boards, start looking into statistics at her hospital.

You have to be prominent before the media cares, but there are plenty of people with money who are NOT prominent, and I suspect they'd make very tempting targets. In fact, I'd bet the people at that level would actually be more likely to pay up.
Ah, yes, the (c) clause says they can charge you more if you agreed to it "at the time of the initial registration", but not after you have invested in the domain.

In web development we often talk about the metrics that tell us that most users will not wait more than two seconds for a page to load and that auto-play content reduces return traffic. Why do these YouTube channels still have ten-seconds-long intros and just-loud-enough-to-know-that-it's-there thrash metal? When is YouTube finally going to become the MySpace of video sharing and be replaced by something more elegant?

The video itself is very cool. I love the quick cuts, excellent viewing angles and sounds of metalworking but the music detracts from the content. Primitive Technology[1] is a great example of how to handle the audio in a video like this.

that title does not sound right. could old-school be removed? I feel like "school" and "shooter" are somewhat misleading and potentially alarming together. could it be something like build your own 3d shooter game? or does this refer to first person shooter? I did not read the entire article so take it with a grain of salt.
I think the unchecked expansion of arguably questionable capabilities is exactly what the author's objection is. Otherwise, it just makes Gopher into an unnecessary second-rate HTTP.

That's the thing I hate about trickle down. Proponents argue that the increased savings will mean they'll hire more people, but they're not going to hire if there's no reason to. Instead, we just have less tax revenue overall. If you want more people hired, give tax cuts solely to the middle and lower classes. Give them more money to spend, and they'll spend it, unlike the rich. This then drives a need for more workers, creating a nice positive feedback loop.
You also ignore groups of users on reddit, just don't go to the subreddit.

Trades are as strong as ever. Only manufacturing jobs evaporated, but this is not about automation, this is because of a certain country starting with “C” (not Canada).
Moving to another protocol, like Gopher, seems like an economic solution to me.

A parallel protocol and hypermedia format that's restricted enough to prevent tracking isn't going to attract everyone. It's going to attract the subset of users who care enough about stuff privacy to give up "rich Web" features like single page applications and animated HTML canvas elements in return.

That's not a group that's likely to start immediately demanding to to build in the features needed to create infiniscrolling Pinterest feeds. And it's also going to be a much restricted group, meaning businesses won't stand to profit much by pushing for it. So there might not be any economic incentive to do it.

At least, that's how it might be at first. If it remains a nice place to be for 5 years, I'd call it a decent run. 10, and I'd be ecstatic.
It’s still a broken site.
> - The IP address 1.1.1.1 as a public DNS has clear value to the public, DNS IP addresses needing to be for 0-255 values that are memorable. .dev has no real public value considering the plethora of other tlds.

Of course it has, TLDs that describes itself are valuable for some business, and this is exactly what this seems to be about.
I was looking into that yesterday. How can I disable forwarding in Dnsmasq for certain domain names? Maybe I should run a local resolver server myself instead of forwarding the DNS requests to 3rd parties and do it that way with ACLs? Let me know if you have detailed documentation about how to use OpenWRT for these.
Amazon’s loss is another company’s gain. There will be more deals and more jobs, you’re acting like this is a recoverable loss when this is not a loss at all but an opportunity for someone else to fill the void, without drastic tax breaks.

I'm a big fan of Art and Craft of Problem Solving by Zeitz.

The main downside is that there isn't an official solution manual, so checking your work takes a little more work. But one of the main upsides is that there isn't an official solution manual, so you actually have to work through the problems. :)

No.

Keys are easily (and persistently) added to ssh-agent, at which point it is easy to forward and will generally silently authorize without any further user interaction. That reduces it to a single factor.

Compare that to a totp challenge or a yubi key plus a password. Having one of them won’t get you the other.

Amazon opening shop in NY will lead to having less employers and less competition in the long run, not more. Furthermore having less competition is not always better for the existing employers. It is much easier to complete with 10 local coffee shops than with a giant cooperation like Starbucks. Specially if the giant corporation is getting a massive tax break, has collective power of capital, but does not have to respond to collective power of labor (no unions).

The $3B in incentives from the state and local governments is nothing. 25K jobs X $150K per year and all of the spending that goes with it, housing, restaurants, transportation, fitness, entertainment probably adds up to something like a $100B loss over the next decade.
It doesn't seem like the effects, good/bad are being ignored. A little over a year ago, the british ministry of health conducted a very large study which concluded that vaping is not health, but its approximately 95% less harmful than cigarettes.
