Where's the evidence that the movie studios "drummed up fake outrage"?

Also if I recall correctly Rotten Tomatoes removed the ability to submit a review for a movie that hasn't been released yet, which to my mind seems like an entirely sensible restriction, particularly in the face of the obvious spamming that was going on. It seems to me like RT made a product decision relating to what best serves their users. What's the argument against it?
And r/datahoarder . I mean they're cool subreddits if you remove the addiction therapy, loss of relationships, and eventual crippling depression.

Totally worth it though! :D
I just don't get it

There have always been powerful business entities in history and there will always be - they could be banks, oil companies, rail companies etc. The difference between these companies and tech companies is this - tech companies are extraordinarily powerful and pervasive. It is very, very difficult to avoid using Google for example. Even if I stopped using all Google products today, I still have to email people who are using gmail. I don't use Facebook, but I am pretty sure they have tons of info on me, because of shadow profiles. And so on.

"Big tech" as you call them, they have unbelievable amount of power over our lives than other "big" whatever. That is why people are worried, and rightfully so.
This reminds me very much of the rhetoric put forward in Ego Is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday (or stoic philosophy in general). I always try respect people who take pride in what they do, not matter what it is.
yet its off by default and most users dont use it.

I do agree human judgement based bounds are best, but stackage snapshots aren't that. Furthermore, stackage/fpo LTS is not LTS in the same sense as linux-distributions and their BSD-unix cousins. Proper long term support in any meaningful sense is a commitment by the distro provider to backport security/bug fixes to the LTS. Stackage LTS doesnt do that.

stack tricks its users into not thinking about their relationship with their dependencies and poisons library code from being usable by haskell devs/users/contributors who dont use stack. :)

the more you know! :)

Yeah I thought the recursion+memo wasn't actually "dp" until I looked it up. Recursion without the memo is not DP however since you hit exp running time/memory and the whole point of DP is to avoid this.
Smaller subs are still awesome. I avoid large subs like the plague because they start to enforce group conformity through either downvotes or over moderation as the sub grows. I think this begins at around 2000 users, but thats a subjective figure.
>I don't think it's that different.

Regulating tobacco requires regulating the sale of a substance. Regulating facebook requires regulating speech (that is what advertising and a like button are) that happens to incite an emotional response. I'm very uncomfortable with regulating that.
Of course they do.

It's horrifying to me that there's places where that isn't allowed.
A very good point.
I would like to see that as well.

Can we really trust BuzzFeed with any kind of reporting?

This might or might not be true, but the fact that reality mirrors what BuzzFeed says is purely coincidental.
Sri Lankan here. This is absolutely not true:

the people are very calm and nice to each other and to Tourists, it was a pleasure to travel around. It's a very safe place, crime and stealing is almost nonexistent. Disagreements are solved in a quite calm way.

You may have seen a tourist's version of the island, and have been fortunate enough to not encounter violence or theft. Both are very common. People are very quick to anger on the road. Theft and flouting rules are common. Don't get me wrong, we have many good qualities (for example, we're known for being helpful and hospitable), but calmness is not one of them!

> Now, for some reason, they are being demonized for being large and participating in a system that has existed for centuries.

I think for a lot of people, myself included, it's because we weren't supposed to just "participate" in that system. We meant to improve it, to make it more fair, and more useful for all people. To improve lives and do no evil, as it were.

Instead, we've wound up with the exact same robber barons of old. This time, instead of trains or oil or telegraph poles, we've created behemoths that actively try to spy on, categorize, and monetize people to extents never before dreamed possible.

Worse, lots of the people around us--people who claimed to be interested in the same things we were--are now demonizing us for our long-held views, "privacy obviously isn't that important because people so willingly give it up just read the terms of service" and "steady jobs with benefits stifle innovation being paid by the piece as a transient worker with no employment protections is the new hotness because people so willingly sign up for it just read the terms of service."

Lots of people lined up to take hatchets to Microsoft twenty years ago but now Google and Amazon get away with much worse far more often and they're deemed untouchable. That baffles me. I can't "look up" to those companies who came after and trampled over the imperfect vision of people who came before, especially when they started out trying to build the vision we thought we said we wanted but then turned to the path that makes the most money in bulk even though it compromises almost all of those beliefs.
I disagree very much. The Pythonic way would be to do something like map(send_email, list_of_addresses), and have send_email raise an exception if not passed precisely a single string, and presumable raise exceptions when you validate that the email address is of an acceptable format, etc.

It would not be Pythonic to make the function superficially handle different arities of argument through explicit handling on the list type with isinstance, precisely because you’d need to handle different meanings of different types that implement the Iterator Protocol. That’s not something Python generally encourages, it’s just a mistaken implementation. And particularly not making careless assumptions when basing branches on isinstance behavior (for example, you could always encounter custom classes that have overridden __instancecheck__ or __subclasshook__ special methods.
I think it depends. You can have great success with longform landers with the right product. But I agree that you should cover as much as possible as simply as possible as early as possible.

I definitely disagree that landing pages make no difference to sales and LP optimisation matters "less than most people expect". I think that wholly depends on the product (or goal) and the acquisition strategy.
>Revenue streams

I see what you did there.
The problem is with mathematical notation, not the students.

I think that may only be the case at lower levels of math education. If I had to guess, I would say that notational rigidity is enforced by teachers who are themselves not confident in math. It's easier to behave like a cargo cult than it is to attain true understanding.

The higher you get in math (undergrad, postgrad, research math) the less people care about notation. The only thing that matters is that your arguments are clear to a person suitably versed in your field. If you need to make use of some special notation for a one-off purpose, then you simply explain it beforehand.
Should we also be angry at Ebay, Etsy, Amazon for taking a cut of the sales too?
> They also got Rotton Tomatoes and other platforms to lock user reviews.

This is silly. They locked out reviews being placed before the movie was released in theaters, because the rating was being deliberately bombed towards the single digits by people who can't possibly have seen the movie.
I had a colleague who loved math.

All of his code used variables like "x", "y", etc.

His code was a steaming pile of shit to review or decipher.
I don't think humans have anything major in their toolkit for reasoning about memory management / aliasing that the Rust compiler doesn't; when non-trivial code cannot be expressed in terms of single-ownership at any given point, code loses correctness-at-a-glance. There are cases where a safe Rust abstraction is built on unsafe code, including most of Rust's collections; the API contract of every stdlib collection is: the collection owns its elements. Interestingly, such a contract can generally be implemented safely, but would have different performance characteristics; e.g. doubly-linked List could use indexes into a Vec. This example mirrors a pattern seen in languages that discourage mutation: break the rules internally for performance optimizations, but maintain the invariants at API boundaries to contain the cognitive overhead. Even when Rust's rules need to be broken, they are useful to contain complexity.

Shutting down a largely toxic website that fuels the flames of extremism is an order of magnitude less alarming than 50+ people losing their lives.

I don't really see much value lost in taking 4chan down, just like it's not a big deal if Stormfront or an Isis affiliated site was blocked.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean you get to do whatever you want, with no threat of consequences.
I find that division in and of itself a key part of the disconnect here. People are naturally going to be drawn to new music, and so if you define an entire genre by not being new, obviously its popularity is going to pale in comparison to other music.
Yeah... I do understand the difference.

My main point, though, is that the idea these cars are 'zero emission' is only true in a localized sense. As always, there are tradeoffs that the elevator pitch tends to gloss over.
This article is great. You're going to see these colors on all of my side projects going forward, and I'm sure everywhere else over the web :D
Why is one's innate nature right?
This article is purely innuendo and quotes from reddit posts that insist that there is an army of Chinese trolls specifically arguing against things that they are personally opinionated about. This article contains no actual information or evidence about what people in China may or may not be actually doing.

I don't mean to imply that there are any fewer than 50 people being paid by the Chinese government to post on English-language websites full time, but Reddit is a cesspool of paid posters.

It's just a particularly US/Western neo-cold war paranoia that it's somehow mostly or even largely the Chinese and Russian governments. The evidence usually cited is that somebody is agreeing with the Chinese or Russian government, and since no one could possibly agree with the Russian or Chinese government Q.E.D.. For Russia, it doesn't even matter whether the poster agrees with the Russian government, because what the Russian government wants to do is foment strife and confusion in order to weaken the West, therefore both sides must be Russian.

I also don't mean to imply that there any fewer than 50 people being paid by the Russian government to post on English-language websites full time.

I'd just put those into perspective by trying to imagine the number of people employed by the governments of English-speaking countries to post on English-language websites full time; then add the number of full-time posting shills from private companies, including that person about 3 cubes down from you.

China's published propaganda is improving, though; they're starting to get that Anglo-American reasonable liberal tone down. That sometimes make me think that a lot of posters who are pounced on for being Chinese shills are just Chinese people expressing Chinese opinions, but without the trained skill of wrapping them in some circular argument about practicality and respect.
Money quote is as the end, from a Max pilot:

“Tecce did not fault the FAA for taking a wait-and-see approach. “A lot of people throwing a lot of rocks at the FAA. Since 2010 we’ve had one aviation fatality” in the United States. “Our safety record is astonishing,” he said. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the airplane. If you talk to the pilots who fly them, they’ll tell you it’s not the airplane so much as whether or not the manual properly describes what’s going on.””

Seems more and more consensus is forming around this idea, that the MCAS system generally did what it was supposed to do, _and_ has an appropriate safety cutoff for the pilot if needed, but that Boeing did not focus a lot of attention on this new system in their training/documentation when in fact they needed to.
As a user, that wouldn't work for me. The problem isn't the ads themselves, but that the presence of ads is proof positive that I'm being spied on.
There's another side of that "hacking was a bit of a problem in 2016" - namely that tech savvy politicians are in short supply[1]. Associating Beto with a well known hacker group boosts his credibility wrt tech.

Hurricane Electric currently have a 42U cabinet and 1 gigabit of bandwidth for $400pcm. That's the cost of about 6 AWS t2.large VMs

That's 50 cents per hour to colocate dozens of servers, and there's 324TB of data thrown in for free.

Obviously you have the tin to buy and maintain which will cost you. Leasing costs for a typical HP server are say $100/month.

10G transit on it's own is around $2k/month with H.E, or 1 cent for 16GB if it's fully saturated.
I didn't know much about his voting record, so I searched a bit and found this: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/12/21/18150359/...

That indicates O'Rourke votes slightly conservative for a Democrat, but is still far more liberal than any Republican. The data cited there shows him pretty squarely in the "slightly conservative Democrat" range: https://voteview.com/person/21361/beto-o-rourke

Is that an inaccurate assessment? I'm wondering where "Mr GOP Lovefest" comes from.

>Both Taiwan and the Byzantines are rump portions of their larger entities

The "Byzantine Empire" wasn't a rump portion at the time of the fall of the Western Empire. It was the other way around: the Eastern Empire was the wealthy and powerful section while the Western Empire had been slowly weakening and collapsing for centuries. It was a rump portion of the East, if anything, when it fell, reduced to just the Italian peninsula and a few other minor holdings while being propped up by Germanic forces.

It's not really comparable to Taiwan because, when the Western Empire fell, the Empire had two legal capitals and two legal co-Emperors. The Eastern Empire simply persisted when the Western Empire finally gave its last gasp and was snuffed out by Odoacer, so it makes no sense to call it a different polity. Odoacer and his successors also made no claim to being the new Emperors of Rome to contest the rule of the Eastern Empire; in fact, it was exactly this rejection of the Imperial title that marked the end of the Western Empire, whereas in earlier days Odoacer or someone else would have claimed the mantle. That's how worthless it had become by then.

The Eastern Empire would certainly go on to evolve and change over the next 1000 years, but that doesn't make it a different entity.

>I wouldn't call the Frankish kingdoms under the Merovingian and Carolingian dynasties France

Neither would they, since that concept didn't exist at the time. But do you know what the "Byzantines" called themselves?

In my years on Reddit, I've found the magic number to be 10k. At around 10k subscribers the community is big enough to be found by people who actually care about the subject matter, but small enough that it's not worth it for people who are just looking for karma.

Obviously this is just a guideline and not a rule.
> This is precisely why there are so many very active and hyper-strict moderators now.

Or because shills make a focused effort to become mods as soon as they start posting in a sub.

This is disingenuous. They're comparing the entire entertainment industry to the manufacturing portion of the agriculture industry. If you include agriculture's entire impact after the manufacturing step, you'll find the retail and food services industry that arise from it contribute $5.75 trillion to the economy. [1] That dwarfs the arts and entertainment industries by several times.

* How are you reducing your waste? Reducing input? Efficient internal usage? Efficient yet minimal output?

* What do you do with the waste you do still have [assuming any]? Re-purpose it, like a trash-to-treasure type deal?

* Do you consider your time dedicated to Zero Waste not "losing time to dealing with trash"?

Proper color filters would only work on the image on the way to the video card, and not affect what other software sees. E.g. Flux works this way in MacOS, and, I think, Windows.

The difference is probably due to the application of color profiles in one of the programs.

waffle.io was github projects, built on top of the github api, a few years before github projects. basically a github-based kanban board. It was pretty great if you were a smallish startup.
Regardless of what one believes, posting specifically to inflame or upset people is a form of aggression. Where aggressive debate is a norm accepted by all participants this can manifest as interesting or even productive competition, but where it is unilaterally inflicted on unwilling respondents it quickly generates into sadism.

The point is that the law says any Tor onion service market is illegal, by definition.

Since when hacker news promotes political threads?
Yes.

The advice from psycologists to the media about how to cover mass murder in a way to avoid causing to more is basically to minimize their coverage.

They take the psycologist's advice when it comes to covering suicide causing more suicide (see the suicide prevention resources in every suicide article you've ever read), but with mass shootings the media can't help themselves. They (at best) cynically want the exposure and ad revenue, or (at worst) think so highly of their reporting's benefit to society that negative side effects won't happen.
Whoops, I missed that part! I agree with you, then: he's not acting in bad faith.
What makes dynamic programming special is that it exploits optimal substructure, where a problem can be broken down into smaller sub-problems, the solution to which must be part of the optimal solution to the larger problem.

While caching can be applied anywhere, dynamic programming can only be applied where optimal substructure is present. For example, finding the shortest path between all points in a graph. Likewise, finding the longest path doesn't have optimal substructure and so dynamic programming cannot be applied in that case.
Are you required to prove your Country on sign up? I think not. So why all of the rigmarole to change it? I'm guess for legal reasons.
> That's because it was in Computer Weekly, PCW, or the hundreds of other paper sources every other issue. On Wikipedia it has been whitewashed from existence, or perhaps never made it in the first place.

That sounds like it might be an editor failure as much as a policy failure, perhaps? Valuable information that exists only in peoples' heads is a real failure point for Wikipedia, but well-documented info that no one has bothered digging up the sources for is not.

Or if you're saying that it was removed by some PR flack, that's also a real problem, but Wikipedia does have mechanisms to deal with it. If you watch an article and can demonstrate that true, relevant, well-sourced facts are being removed, you can get the article protected. It's extra work on your part, and that sucks, but I can't think of a better way to deal with disagreement in a crowdsourced encyclopedia.
It's untyped then simply typed basic imperative language, which is more or less the first few courses of programming language theory 101.
Farewell and good luck on your new adventure, loved your product and used it to our great advantage a few years ago.
Seriously! I took trig and nobody ever said "Here's a picture of a circle. Here's what cosine, sine, and tangent are".

I had no clue what those concepts were for at least a year, but I managed because I always knew I could take both sine and cosine and say "well I need the bigger number in this scenario ∂or the smaller one in that one, so it must be (cos or sin)"

When I saw a picture of a circle and an angle that basically said "Cosine is how far you are horizontally and sine is how far you are vertically" it was so damned simple I hated that I hadn't learned sooner. How did I miss it? Was I sick that day?
