The terms of service suggest that any ad that discusses Facebook is ripe for removal. Her point stands and is expanded by the selective enforcement of their ToS; is this the platform for public discourse that we want for ourselves and do we want any such platform to be this powerful?

I am proud of this person for finding such deep meaning in his life.

I also think it's possible that one can practice deep listening, use psychedelics responsibly, and practice methods such as the Rosen Method (or any other meditation-esque practices including yoga etc) without dedicating their life fully to them, and receive magnificent benefits - including prevention of burnout.

It may be his calling, but it seems burnout is a large motivator to this decision as others have discussed.

I just wanted to come here to say I do the things he does regularly (but by no means am I an expert), to a great degree of success and benefit, while keeping a software job I love and not becoming a therapist. I have no signs of burnout and I actually attribute that in large part to discovering similar "clues" as discussed in the article, early on.

> committing to maintain the current level of resources NGINX has allocated to their open source programs

What are the contractual consequences if they don't keep that commitment? If the answer is "none", then it's not a commitment.
To partially mitigate this issue, I scope all private packages to @corp-internal/, then use a .npmrc directive to push all packages in @corp-internal/ to packagecloud.io. The @corp/ scope is used for open source packages, @corp-internal scope does not exist on the public npm registry so no chance of config issues causing mistaken pushes.

> The benefit of using tags (jsx) is that objects become fully managed

I'm not sure I follow here. I assume that by 'become fully managed' you mean that React will reconstruct as necessary based on what is declared in the jsx?

So maybe that is just the nature of writing React renderers specifically, the only option for getting your objects managed is to map them to jsx?

> The most clear indication to me is still effects.

This does look much nicer than other examples I've seen of using effects. I have only limited experience with them personally. They weren't needed for our tool. Incidentally I am probably setting up some SSAO on another project today though so I'll be likely be digging more into them later.

One could argue that the point of advertising is not to reach a meaningful chunk of the public, instead a meaningful chunk of a specific demographic.
Their web site is still around with a 2019 copyright date, so they appear to be hanging on. I used to work at the building just north of that one (at Realm, the mobile database company, which was located between Say and Docker's offices), and I used to be a big fan of Movable Type, so I was always sort of curious about them.

Say's web site, incidentally, now lists their SF office as 442 Post Street, Suite 901. From their job listings, I get the impression that most of the action is in the NYC and the Portland offices now, though.
You're touching on a really interesting point that I think both C++ and JavaScript have in common. Their specifications are very general-purpose (eg: ECMAScript, ISOC++) and generally decorated with a specific runtimes and standard libraries provided by another party (eg: browser, nodejs, host OS, bare metal, etc.) and often a few different build systems (eg: webpack, gulp, makefiles, CMake, MSVC, etc.). There's also a lot of oppurtunities to "just include" libraries like Boost or an npm dependency.

I feel like Rust (eg: `cargo build`) or Ruby gems provide a very different, standardized experienced compared to the two.
Calling that fraud is about as accurate as calling an otter a pencil.
This article is re-reporting of:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/08/opinion/google-privacy.ht...

(which it does link to.)

As far as privacy is concerned, what should worry more about? A random stranger ID'ing me or my license plate being read all over town, and soon enough, my face being recognized. Because frankly I'm more worried about the state than a random stranger. And not even because I'm think I'll commit a crime, but more in the Brazil sense where the state makes a mistake and I somehow get associated with some other person's crime.

That's the dystopia I fear.

You know, my house isn't a fortess of security either, but I don't worry too much about it because mostly homes don't get burgled (at least in my neck of the woods) and should mine, well I have insurance. Similarly, most people aren't going around trying to ID the folks around them. (To what end anyway?)

Society only works because mostly people follow the rules and are basically good to each other most of the time. The golden rule applies here: would you want someone to ID you? No, then don't go around ID'ing other people.

I guess at the end of the day: don't be an idiot but you probably don't need to be paranoid about this either.
My Facbook ad-blocking solution has been to:

1 - quit Facebook

2 - use /etc/hosts to resolve any Facebook-related sites (and other advertising/spam/tracking/malware sites) to 255.255.255.255

3 - proxy my web requests through privoxy

4 - use the uMatrix and uBlock Origin addons in Firefox that block anything that gets through the rest

But I mostly browse the web through emacs-w3m, which isn't even capable of running javascript so addons such as uMatrix are not necessary.

Needless to say, I almost never see ads.

How can some of you do balancing, but have never heard of F5? Heck, I knew if f5 10 plus years ago. F5 can be fully automated now from top down, plus the additional security aspects are a major plus. Most people that use Nginx, and have some knowledge of load balancing products use both. It’s often called the best of bread, which Nginx and f5 are IMO. Now, a few years ago could you have automated everything? Probably not, but just look at their gitrepo. It’s pretty transparent at what their aiming at.
But that's also probably why millions of people are psychologically miserable all the time. The subset of people who are working a full-time completely meaningless job (may not apply to part-time) and then finding happiness outside of work entirely. There's plenty of gray in-between though (people define 'meaningless' in their own way).

Can’t find canonical sources right now, but the percentage of users of Facebook on mobile is 90%+. Of that, most of them would be using the official app, where traditional ad blockers wouldn’t work.

But ad blocking is enough of a money problem for Facebook that it keeps attempting to beat them through many tricks (spelling words with invisible characters, putting words split into characters and each one in a <span>, etc., to beat pattern matching).

The rare times when I use Facebook, I always login through a browser with an ad blocker (and tracker blockers) on.

Serious question(s), not trolling.

Why shouldn't Facebook take down the ad that's calling for a break up of their Company?

How is this any different from a person walking into a store and asking to place an ad inside the store calling for breakup or shutting down of said store? What store owner would ever allow such a thing?

Why would (or should) any business allow any sort of propaganda that strikes at the heart of it's operations?

Why would Facebook be expected to restore the ads (which I don't think they should've done).
> Doesn't package.json have an is private repo flag? Why not just respect that?

npm does reflect that flag. If you set private in package.json, npm won't publish it publicly. From docs:

> private

> If you set "private": true in your package.json, then npm will refuse to publish it.

> This is a way to prevent accidental publication of private repositories. If you would like to ensure that a given package is only ever published to a specific registry (for example, an internal registry), then use the publishConfig dictionary described below to override the registry config param at publish-time.
The average person makes far more trips by car than by airplane.
haproxy is amazingly functional and has done a fine job of evolving over the years. At a particular $DEFUNCTCLOUDVENDOR we implemented a haproxy based ELB-ish solution with home grown control logic to replace a F5 installation whos configuration size grew unwieldy (the F5 config parser was falling over in their LBs) while we were nowhere near the F5's touted connection/throughput numbers. F5 wasn't really willing to work with us on licensing, so we implemented a system based on haproxy VMs that worked because we were more than a bit overprovisioned on switching capacity and were able to shard that configuration base more effectively over more VMs.

This was 2011, so I'd hope newer F5 gear has gotten past that.
with managed i mean that the view is now merely a reflection of state. Basically just like with the dom:

{condition && <div>hello</div>}

The div is there as long as the condition is true. But of course it can now also be a mesh, or a component that can clean itself up after the unmount.

We did this manually before, which usually meant watching out for objects to remove themselves, they'll have to communicate up their hierarchy to inform parents and so on. This wasn't straight forward in three, so there was a lot of prototype hacking and terrible things like that, i'm so glad this will be all gone.
So is that really going to change if Facebook is broken up?

More importantly, is it going to make for a better web, or is it just going to wind up strengthening the online tracking and advertising industries in the long run?

My own proposal would be to ban tracking and unsolicited advertising altogether -- no matter who does it.

Think about the alternative - somebody does a measurably great job, growing you a new multi-billion business from zero, even making you a dominant player. Later, that person ends up as a suspect of an unrelated crime, so you deny them any reward. Why would anyone with great potential want to work for you? From outside, it could all look like there is some possibility you orchestrated the whole problem to avoid paying, e.g. by analyzing that person's weaknesses, then paying somebody else to be a bait etc. There are indeed a few cases where co-founders were baited by VCs into illegal acts like buying drugs or hiring escorts and later coerced to "do the right thing" or else...

I see from the below link that the ‘STAR this’ pointer would be captured implicitly by reference in this case. This happens regardless of a default capture type if it does exist.

To truly capture a member by value, you can (1) make a copy of that value in the enclosing function, thus making it an automatic variable which can be value-captured, (2) value-capture through an initialiser in the capture list or (3) you can indicate ‘STAR this’ (since C++17) as a capture, which then captures the ‘this’ as a value copy and thus transitively your member.

> not anything like a conviction in court, does the board have to act differently?

Not sure what happens in the US, but in England even the courts behave differently from each other. The criminal court uses "beyond all reasonable doubt" while family courts use "balance of probabilities".

A man can be found not guilty at criminal trial, and still have his children removed by family court because the finding of fact session at family court decides he more likely than not did the things he is accused of.

A private organisation is free to do what they like, so long is it complies with the law and with the contracts they've drawn up.
Hey Greg,

Since you seem to be answering questions in this thread, here's one:

How does OpenAI LP's structure differ from that of a L3C (Low-profit Limited Liability company)?
You're definitely right, it is getting to the point of semantics when it comes to comparing the high end of internal combustion to electric. I mean, even very old diesels could hit their peak torque in the 100s of rpms. Even still though, a couple 100ms to full torque is still more than literally instantaneous torque with electric. That also applies to the 'low end' electric cars as well. They're really good at getting your head to snap back into your seat, but once you're moving the benefits really drop off a cliff. Just like the torque and hp 'curve'(cliff) of an electric car actually.
Hardware will support both AV1 and AV1.1 too.
And on a little website known as Github there is a lot more :) (and Google Search stays the #1 reliable source of private data followed by AWS S3).
Sure but any good off the shelf pipeline will have hooks for that...
Not only. It is also based on Xiph's/Mozilla's Daala and Cisco's Thor.
I agree, performance rewards should be separate from unrelated, potentially criminal acts - those should be handled at the court. Of course, if the reward is from the criminal act itself (quite a few cases of such at Wall Street), they should be denied, but that's wishful thinking and those perpetrators would get unquestionable backing from their companies until it blows up publicly, at which point everybody would wash their hands.

As far as I can disentangle from [1], OpenAI posits only moderate superhuman performance. The profit would come from a variant where OpenAI subsumes much but not all of the economy and does not bring things to post-scarcity. The nonprofit would take ownership of almost all of the generated wealth, but the investments would still have value since the traditional ownership structure might be left intact.

I don't buy the idea myself, but I could be misinterpreting.
