For other's it may be, but I was responding to a blatant miscategorization which was attacking his identity, not his work. And this is just how I write.

If dissing someone is allowed then why isn't praising them? And praising them well?

Because I exaggerated?

But did I?

He continues to help millions of people. Can't say that about many people.

Regarding his work/words: He's right about the biological differences between men and women. He's right about social hierarchies and power structures being inevitable. He's right about the government's overreach on speech being dangerous. He's right about proper discourse on any matter being uncomfortable. He's right about the value of honesty and integrity. He's right about ways to piece your life and yourself back together.

And by right I don't mean binary true or false, because that isn't how science works. By right, I mean the most accurate knowledge we currently have on the topic that could be usefully applied to a problem at hand compared to other less accurate knowledge that is already being applied to problems at hand. Seeing this is why he stood up, and many stood up with him.

You can't be a quack and help so many people or be right about so many things. And at the end of the day he's just a lecturer that's really really good at his job -- at engaging his students and sharing the wealth of knowledge that already exists. And yes, using that knowledge to point out why you are wrong does make him offensive to a lot of people. You don't have to be one of them. And yes, he has turned activist. You don't have to turn into one, by why not? But if you have, then why against?

He isn't anti-scientific. He just isn't. That's a blatantly false claim.
>> What do you mean? I'm not talking about that at all. I'm talking about how when you go to the grocery store and someone snaps a selfie with you in the background, FB knows. They know when you take the subway and where you go.

"I don't care if FB knows I was at the grocery store, or at the mall, or on the subway. I care about not missing the invite to my niece's birthday party."

>> They [will] know pretty much every single detail of your life even if you don't have an account.

Imo, this is fearmongering...

While I see your point, I don't think this makes sense historically. Dictionaries never supported such behavior before so you'd be introducing a new core concept to a dictionary. But moreover, you'd be changing the type of the value only on duplicated keys, and what about if you were to add another value of 2 to a? Are you making this a set, and why? I think it would come with too many caveats and assumptions in the PEP.

I'm not saying you have a bad idea/logic here, just that I'm not sure it's the best thing for the dict.

Honest question: have you considered that some people are less susceptible to advertising? I used to think comments like yours were just absurd hyperbole, until I noticed them popping up enough that I considered the possibility that some people really do consider themselves utterly helpless in the face of advertising, and perhaps accurately so.

This isn't really an attack on your comment specifically; I just wonder to what extent this differential response drives much of the disagreement I've seen on the topic.

(you could perhaps say the same thing about the legalization of certain drugs).
My brother did that with some friends so that they could own a house in the Bay Area. I'm glad they're happy, but it seems a little crazy to me.

(I lived in the bay area for a year, but then moved back to Ohio. Housing prices weren't the main reason, but they were a small part of why I moved.)
Thanks - yes specific and actionable definitely helps us improve. So do keep the feedback coming

> There is nothing nefarious from the company other than they are trying to figure out what their FB ad spend is worth.

I call exposing users to the likes of Facebook, Google, etc. "nefarious" all on its own. At the very least, it's treating users with a degree of contempt.

I would not expect that individuals (advertisers) would be named here. Even if it leads to a specific person it might just be an employee that registered the campaigns. But if it can be proven that the campaign was paid by say a Maltese, Guernsey or Cypriot Ltd or anywhere else impossible to trace, it would provide additional corroborative evidence (to what is already known about the Banks shell companies like "Ural properties") and drive home that large parts of the Leave campaign was funded with dork-money. In case the whole effort hits an offshore wall of silence it wouldn't matter. The case that the whole campaign was illegal would still be strengthened by the info.

Mental illness doesn't comprehensively eliminate culpability. The mental illness would have to explain why the act wasn't murder. Such as: the defendant was unable to foresee the act would cause death; the defendant believed they were acting in self defence.

> Being able to say: "No, I don't work here because of principles" is something really nice but not everyone can afford to do.

I'd question that. FB undoubtedly pays very well and probably better than almost all competitors, but at the same time most FB engineers could almost certainly take work somewhere else with a slightly lower (but objectively still fantastic) salary and still continue to live a very comfortable life.

I'd be interested to hear other reasons why people continue to work at FB, but "I can't afford not to" feels dubious to me.

"Bad people" feels a little trite. What about individuals who feel they are truly joining to try to make a difference for the better in improving the culture, security, data privacy, or overall business? Too altruistic or is that part of the story?

I really appreciate (and relate to) this discussion, but I wanted to point out that some folks out there don't mind people who are a little on the spectrum. You don't always have to pretend to be somebody else. Some people will like you the way you are, or, will tolerate and respect you even if they don't like you.

It seems like the authors never attempted an alternative: pushing back on people's assumptions and being themselves more often. People like and respect Spock and Sherlock Holmes. I get that those are extreme and fictional examples, but you don't have to be extroverted and "normal" to be liked. I'm not saying it'll be perfect, or always easy for you, but there are societal niches which don't mind that some people are weird. More importantly, they can tell that you're altruistic and well-intending, even if you you come off a little poorly socially.
Nobody claimed it was. But GP's point is that he doesn't understand the hysterical responses to an absence of evidence, and doesn't see why he should change his behavior in the absence of evidence.

Don't get me wrong: I think Facebook is a fundamentally culturally rotten company, and probably disagree with him more than I agree with him. But non sequitur buzzwords like your comment are neither here nor there.
Not to me, for a bunch of reasons -- starting with the fact that it assumes that the phone # you use for 2FA (which nobody should be doing anyway) is the phone # you want people to contact you through.

As long as the test is done with proper blinding, then that means the analysis is insufficiently comprehensive and there really is a difference.

But there are easy ways to kill dynamic range with an algorithm. On windows this is called "loudness equalization." On the otherhand, there is no way to go back from little dynamic range to more dynamic range.

So I think it makes sense that records are mastered with a lot of dynamic range, so the people who actually enjoy music can enjoy it, and the people who don't can just equalize it themselves.
Stable API, not stable ABI. Installation through compilation is normal. Those who complain about it have no clue what they are complaining about, because they don't even see it when dkms drivers are recompiled. So again, go learn about it, before saying it's a problem. Otherwise you are tilting at windmills.
A slight offtopic question but related to this release: if you were the CEO of Hex-Rays/Hopper/Binary Ninja etc, what would you do about the release of Ghidra? It will clearly impact your business and it even might be better than your current product.

Until they are one year old they decide.

Around one year they can learn to sleep well.

Every parent that kids needs to learn to eat and drink from cups.

I also understood and enjoyed helping my oldest daughter learn to walk.

But for some reason it never occured to me that sleeping is something that many kids will need to learn.

The basic rules are simple.

Part 1: make sure the environment don't change while they are asleep

After a certain age:

- never let them fall asleep with a bottle

- or while you are singing or saying prayers

- or listening to music

- or watching tv

Do read stories, sing, play and try to make sure they are happy when they go to bed. Just make sure they are awake.

Basically they shouldn't fall asleep in a state they won't be in the next time they turn around furing sleep.

Kids after a certain age should fall asleep in their own bed and on their own.

Part 2:

Kids should not be afraid and cry themselves to sleep.

But if you just leave them alone in their bed they will.

Instead say some magic nice words that you decide, then walk out. Start a timer for one minute. Walk back in (even if the kid isn't crying) say the same words you said when you left. The rest of of the night until the kid fall asleep (i.e. not until the calm down) go back every 3rd minute, i.e. every 180 seconds, sharp. Use a timer. Say the same words.

The next day use 3 minutes first and 5 minutes the rest of the evening. Use a timer. Be consequent.

What you want to teach is you are going to be there for them either they cry or not.

Don't stop until after they are asleep. (I happily go back two times more and I don't care if it seems they are sleeping, if tjey open their eyes they'll close them just as fast, now convinced that you are still there.) If one stop going back when they calm down then they understand they'll have to cry to get attention.

Next day 5 and 7 minutes, then 7 and 9 etc. By now they are probably relaxing after a few minutes.

Except for my first who had already gotten a bad habit by the time I started teaching, the rest picked it up in 3 or 4 days. After that they'd enjoy going to bed.

Two more things;

- make sure somebody can hear them if they wake up in the night. Mostly because who wants their kid to be afraid, but a nive side effect is they learn that thet are not forgotten.

- do sleep training on good days (not when new teeths are arriving or while they have the cold)

What a terrible UI on that website. Constantly clicking "Next"! Yuk. And every page required zooming in and out to make it fit on my screen. For a tech focused comic, you'd think the author could run it through an ImageMagick batch resize job. Bonus points for allowing keyboard back and forth navigation.
Well, it's not like I didn't perceive stuff with my eyes, it's just that I also internally had another view (I still have some fragments fairly vivid in memory), where I could kinda rotate my view, e.g. being inside a tunnel with irregular slopes hinting at some abyss through cracks at the bottom and I viewed it inside as a certain irregular shape I could rotate, localize me (where "me" was some uncertain blob and my pose was how my body was reporting to me, but my overall shape was just fuzzy/unimportant) and do some planing. As for colors, again unimportant, not sure if there was even a concept of color in my internal representation. Actions as such were instant, but the feedback was basically tactile/otolithic, updating my location/pose estimate. FOV was variable, changing as I needed and as I moved inside visualization. It might have been inspired by some speleology mapping tools that at the time started to become 3D, so my brain might have used a similar representation.

I guess it was really dampened sensory inputs, not dominating perception as usually, that allowed this kind of planing/internal model to come out. Without spelunking I'd probably use it only subconsciously in sports like when hitting a tennis ball at 120mph and planning all moves in advance, serving a sneaky ball in volleyball etc. I had a similar feeling once when a car that was joining my road almost rammed into me and I just remember that my brain switched to 100% focus and almost automatically did all the crash avoidant tasks where I felt more like an observer, and the calculation was perfect (i.e. no crash).
No, those don't matter in my view. The only thing that matters is if the people you're tracking have given you their informed consent to be tracked. If they haven't, then it's simply wrong.
I find that super hard to believe... can you read an article from https://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/easy/ with ease, aside from vocab?

I quit Duolingo for Japanese because it was super slow and boring. I went through a few beginner grammar books/websites and started reading native material/talking to natives.

Currently going through KKLC so focusing on kanji/vocab... I passed the JLPT N5 (admittedly so easy it's useless as a certificaiton) with six months of studying from scratch, and I approximately N4 level now (~1 year in).

I know everyone has different goals and timelines, but 2 years of Duolingo feels like it covers what you can learn in <4 months by yourself.
Most of what the press reports is a distortion of the truth, or making something sound worse than it really is.

Sure there are issues but all companies have them, just like Google, Amazon, etc. There are a lot of good people doing good work here, and connecting the world for the better. You don't hear about the 99.99% of the good things because that won't encourage clicks for the news rags.

If the press took an interest in your company, or even you personally, no one would look good from their constant digging to make you look as bad as possible. Imagine if your worst moments in your life were publicized for everyone to see, without seeing all the good things you've done? People would think you're an asshole as well.
> Yes, there may be side effects of changing clocks twice per year, but how do they compare to the effects of having less light in the morning in winter or less light in the evening in summer?

In think the effects you’re mentioning are insignificant compared with having your sleep schedule disrupted twice per year. People have literally died due to it.

Until you eliminate all advertising and marketing, you will be tracked in some way.

Sort of. There is an acceptable amount of tracking.

For hundreds of years billboard, newspaper, television, and radio advertisers tracked if their ads were working by measuring sales. That was acceptable.

Facebook and Google trying to watch my every move is not acceptable.

There's enough source code provided that I was able to patch the Java code to fix a bug: https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra/issues/2#is...

While there's no source for the decompiler, the decompiler binaries themselves are unstripped and C++, meaning they're actually fairly straightforward to reverse. Plus, you get all the Java code that drives the decompiler binaries.
I didn't have time to read all of it, but half way through. So far it has bee a pretty good write up, however, just one question.

Can the author or anyone explain how were the amount for values shifted chosen? I.e. Weight (minus 135) and Height (minus 66). Why was -135 and -66 chosen? An explanation would be helpful. Thanks!
You're discovering the dirty secret that a lot of people generally don't care about doing the right thing when doing the wrong thing is so lucrative. People will talk a big game but shove a pile of cash in their face and things get complicated fast.
You're projecting. You think someone doesn't know the facts, but they know for a fact that they personally enjoy some certain wine or speakers or whatever. That's not ignorant.
> Where did they use the term "N-dimensional"?

From the article:

> Researchers talk about a state space as having a certain number of dimensions, reflecting the number of independent characteristics you can adjust in the underlying system.

> For example, even a sock drawer has a state space. Any sock might be described by its color, its length, its material, and how raggedy and worn it is. In this case, the dimension of the sock drawer’s state space is four.

That's meaningless IMHO, 4 is the same as 1.
Disclaimer: I work for a competitor of FB. Opinions are my own, etc.

There is an aspect of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gell-Mann_amnesia_effect when hearing stories about FB. I've heard similar stories about various tech companies from major press outlets and the facts & opinions in the stories directly contradict my own first hand knowledge.

Given this data, why should I trust press articles about FB when they're written by the same journalists who are focused on maximizing revenue for their own companies? Most articles I see are ~10% cited sources and ~90% speculation.

Two examples of press stories that most technical people know are false are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoshi_Nakamoto#Dorian_Nakamo... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermicro#Allegations_of_comp... . People with technical knowledge can evaluate those stories and realize that they're incorrect, but others without technical knowledge probably believe the newspapers. Similarly, people at FB with insider knowledge probably realize that most of the press articles about FB are 90% incorrect and that FB is in the same moral league as all the other major tech companies.
You've hit on the most nefarious part of all of it. People say they have nothing to hide, I don't doubt it. What they should be concerned about though is the constant, targeted stream of disinformation.

It's one thing when it's a detergent that is claiming to make your clothes whiter, it's another altogether when it's messages suggesting you might also want a whiter neighborhood.

There is some definite perceptible loss in accuracy in the treble even at V0 or 320. There's a song with a synthesized treble effect that sounds quite different on MP3 vs. FLAC by Planet Funk, I think it was "Who Said? (Stuck in the UK)".

Other than that MP3 (or Vorbis or Opus, which would probably do better on that song) is great for portability, but I'd still use FLAC for storage.
