Nothing in their marketing suggests that it's a beta feature. (Just look at the Autopilot tab when configuring a new Tesla)
Maybe, but Python is still quite easy to pick, the only one that can do Deep Learning and Machine Learning well, etc.

So, if we can use it, take advantage of its benefits and have tools like this that simplify everything without too many constraints, I would say it's a good tradeoff.
(Edit: reworded a bit to make it clear I don't think this is acceptable)

Sounds a lot like some service was logging the full body of a signup/login request, which then was readable for anyone with access to the logging/tracing infrastructure.

Dumb mistake but it's not hard to imagine this happening, considering that FB probably has a bunch of services involved in the login/signup flow to prevent bots/spam, abuse, etc.

Not to imply this is acceptable, especially at a IT company like FB with vast resources and know how. Raw passwords are an especially big screw-up.
There are a lot of failures here, from actually logging something so sensitive over giving access to so many employees to not noticing this for years. (Assuming this was actually log data).

BUT if we are honest, anonymizing log data is rarely a priority. Even if it is, leaking sensitive data can happen easily in a lot of different points in the infrastructure. In actual application code, client + server exception tracing (just imagine a deserialization exception which contains part of the input) , web server, load balancer, proxies, service mesh...
There is a lot of interesting stuff hiding in the logs at pretty much every company.

This is a good time to look in the mirror and audit your logging and tracing data. Unless you are in a highly regulated field like finance/healthcare or there is a strong company-wide culture for security/privacy with regular audits already, I can almost guarantee you will find at least one data point that should not be where it is.

Protecting sensitive data needs to be a big consideration for every dev, ops and especially management, which has to allocate enough time for security reviews and audits.
AT&T CEO interrupted by a robocall during a live interview
Just set up more holding entities and let them hold a limited amount of houses. The only thing profiting from this will be administrators.
> There's people doing that all over the place. There's people getting funded on all sorts of crap. Why don't we get them all and make documentaries on them ? Is Silicon Valley better than Wall Street ? I doubt it.

Just because there is a lot of corporate fraud out there doesn't mean we should not try to stamp it out when we're able to identify it.

This is like saying that you should not prosecute a murderer because there are some serial killers out there. "Forget this murderer in front of us, it's all those serial killers that we should really be trying to stop."

Also, your characterization of Kalanick seems quite fantastical to me. I don't think it's well established that he did any of the things you're talking about, though if you had sources for that information maybe I could be convinced.
> Duke’s American Tobacco Company (ATC) moved to the cutting edge of this process when it repelled legal challenges to its monopoly by drawing on new notions of corporate personhood in the wake of the Fourteenth Amendment [...] Though the amendment referred to “persons born or naturalized in the United States,” which suggests human persons, lawyers attempted to use the amendment to shield corporate “persons” from state regulations. With the ATC’s win in court, the corporation claimed an enhanced legal personhood, protection from states, and status as a private rather than public entity. Unrestrained, the ATC rapidly gobbled up companies across the United States and the globe, catapulting Duke to spectacular wealth and power

To be fair, this is corporate legal shenanigans, not scrappy, innovative, hard work.
You are correct about voting eligibility and expats and I equally share your stance upon that. We just don't know and given the checks (lack of) involved, may never know.

Had we had a national ID card, such systems might take on more credibility, alas such ID cards in the UK are often disdained by a vast majority for various reasons of self-privacy. Yet such ID cards are most common throughout Europe. Indeed, some countries (Brussels iirc as one) have a law that makes not voting in an election a crime, so they get close to 100% turnout, they also have ID cards.
This is awesome. Talk about being immigrant friendly.

Ansible deserves some credit at least. It tried to avoid the pitfalls Chef and Puppet fell into, which is having a DSL that allows arbitrary logic, i.e. basically just a Ruby script. These become horrible to trace and debug. Ansible only allowed conditionals or loop constructs in some well-defined places, which actually does help when trying to comprehend Ansible playbooks. (Although one might still argue a strict DSL would offer the best of both worlds.)
I don't view YC as a VC, am I wrong? This whole post is about VCs pushing you to the brink. YC doesn't push companies too hard, do they? Why not do YC and NOT raise VC money afterward but take advantage of the network?
when you buy a car do you just buy a tank or apc?
Vitrification is the process of turning the spent fuel into a glass-like substance. This includes chemically stabilising the fuel so that it's not chemically reactive, and immobilising it in a crystalline structure. While vitrified waste is stored in containers, it doesn't really need them. The only way it would be a health hazard is if it were liquefied with sulphuric acid or aerosolised by explosion and then ingested.

Even if all that were to happen in the worst possible case scenario (as has happened at Lake Karachay in Russia where untreated nuclear waste leaked into the groundwater in large volumes), it's still a long shot from being as deadly as the fossil fuels we take as a given today. That sets the upper worst hypothetical imaginary case for vitrified nuclear waste if some super volcano erupts at the storage site and converts it back into a chemically active form.

You can buy kitchen plates and glasses made from uranium glass, and that stuff is relatively a bigger hazard than vitrified nuclear waste. So is the americium in your smoke alarm, so are the various nuclear materials used at your local hospital for radiography and radiology.

To really nail this point home: coal fired power plants release more radioactive waste into the environment that nuclear plants do. The trace uranium found in coal can't be combusted and makes its way out the chimney, and that is more than a nuclear plant releases including disposal [1].

How to Do Better Marketing: Outsource vs. In-House
TFA gets a few things wrong - the analogy to house building is off, and I don't think the moral argument is even necessary - but ultimately if, as I infer, he's talking about web professionals, not hobbyists, those people should care and be educated about how to do this.

The house analogy bothers me because a house is not a public space the way a shop or museum is. And a lot of accessibility concerns like contrast ratios are simple and can be minor CSS changes - analogous to curb cuts in sidewalks. But if you're acting as architect for a public-facing website for a business then it absolutely makes sense without invoking any moral obligation to engineer at least a minimum amount of accessibility.
Another trick is to use a piece of ginger dunked in the soy sauce to paint the soy on the nigiri to lessen the chances of the nigiri falling apart.

I think it still does. The topic at hand was censoring content on the Internet. The original parent referred to "Islamic" and "right-wing" terrorism because those are the two most prevalent and growing sources of terrorist activity that foment on the Internet. Did the Weather Underground grow because of the Internet? Did left-wing communist terrorist grow because of the Internet? Even in the early 2000s the Internet wasn't that big of a thing, not like today.

Today, ISIS and right-wing terrorism follow a strikingly similar pattern: attract disaffected males on the Internet to communities where promises of former glory will be recaptured through the creation of an ethno-state. For ISIS, they coalesce behind the perceived dominance of the Muslim religion. For the alt-right they coalesce behind white supremacy.

Anyway, I thought this debate about calling out terrorism was had in the early 2010s. The left wanted to call ISIS simply "terrorism" because terrorism is terrorism is terrorism. But the right insisted that it be called "radical Islamic terrorism" because in the words of my family member "you have to call it what it is to defeat it". I agreed with that then, and I agree with it now. The left lost that debate and everyone started calling it "radical Islamic terrorism". Now all of a sudden the right wants to go back to blanket calling it "terrorism" because terrorism is terrorism is terrorism? I'm confused.
.uk domains still not supported either
I can never get over the fact people share images with one or two sentence "wisdoms" or "jokes" as their only content on social networks instead of just copying text.
New GTLDs may cost considerably more at Cloudflare Registrar.

For example, the annual cost of a .space domain during transfer is $15.18 (it was $17 two months ago), while renewal for the same domain at Namecheap costs $9.06.

To be fair Namecheap lists it as a discounted offer, but that appears to be always the case for the .space TLD renewals.
> A thought experiment: how would an economy run solely on a Bitcoin-like currency behave? And how would it respond to business cycles?

Endless studies could be written about it, since the topic is very complex and outcomes are pretty much impossible to predict. No wonder economists have such a bad reputation about forecasts :D. It's almost a question of religion. My gut feeling is the following:

Outside of an isolated economy, the bitcoin economy would be rapidly buried by other economies that can inflate their money supply at will. Even with boom and bust cycles, the bitcoin economy is unlikely to survive competing with a China like entity who will just fuel their own expansion with debt until the bitcoin economy is in the toilet.

In case of an isolated economy, it would eventually start to stagnate as cash becomes an appreciating asset that is better to hoard than invest. Taken ad absurdum, you'd end up with a completely dead economy with a small handful of hoarders sitting on all the cash. Of course, in the real world there'd have been a revolution long before, since people can't eat coins and eventually people would resort to barter and most likely a new fiat currency would emerge naturally.

Hashed and Hierarchical Timing Wheels: Data Structures for Timers (1987) [pdf]
A non-expert also can't locate and avoid phishing ads on sketchy sites. Even ignoring the performance/UX improvements entirely, I would still argue that for most non-technical users, ad-blockers are a strong net benefit. Very, very few sites will break, and even those downsides are vastly outweighed by the security gains.

Imagine if this was the early Windows XP days, and someone was saying, "don't install virus protection or anti-malware on a Windows box, because some programs will be falsely flagged." Yes, sometimes safety valves trigger prematurely or block things they're not supposed to. That doesn't mean inexperienced electricians should remove all of their fuse protectors.

And the risks of breakage here are honestly really minimal. If a student taking an online courseware site notices breakage, 9/10 times they'll call up the person that set up their program and ask for help, and then that person will explain over the phone how to whitelist that one specific site. Or worst case scenario they'll file a support ticket and the support person will explain how to do that. They're not going to just say, "well, I guess I fail" and drop out of school.

DO be that expert. We should be practicing an ounce of protection. It is far easier to prevent viruses and phishing attacks for a nontechnical user than it is to recover from them. I firmly believe that anyone who can't be taught how to disable an adblocker should not be allowed to browse the web without one.
It's not even entirely a problem caused by the law, beobab also just didn't know the full extent of their rights as a property owner. Tenent protections are strong but they wouldn't have stopped beobab from getting them out sooner and inspecting the property for damage.
Didn't Ethereum simply make a fork of the client and the rest of the network agreed to use that fork?

Yeah, a good rule of thumb is "don't expect Amtrak to be on time on tracks they don't control", which is "a lot of them".

One thing I do blame Amtrak for is that they don't always announce their delays as soon as they were known; I took a train that was delayed for two or three hours immediately after picking me up because CSX spit decided to rearrange a bunch of freight trains directly in front of us, and my cousins waiting to pick me up at the station at the other end said that the arrivals board claimed the train was on time up until a few minutes before it was scheduled to arrive, and then ticked up the arrival time by 15 or 30 minutes at a time until we actually arrived.

It wasn't Amtrak's fault I was 3 hours late, but it was their fault my cousins just had to hang out at a train station for 3 hours instead of leaving and coming back later.
Gawker, a publisher, was shut down because it reported on Hulk Hogan's sexual activity. I think we can assume that larger publishers would be shut down for more outrageous content.

Yes, obviously, manual approval of content does not scale very well. Scaling is not a good in itself.

Decisions will only be as "wildly inconsistent, subjective, and controversial' as the people responsible for them. This should allow for consistent, objective, and responsible people to rise to the top in the decision making process, no?
He controls 60% of the vote, so he probably wont.

But wait a few days, when he crawls out of his hidy hole, to ensure us, once again, that this mistake is totally on him and to promise betterment.

On a less sarcastic note: It troubles me that their new "privacy mindedness" is taken at face value in some of the "serious" press. That's despite Facebook's history of outright lies.
I agree. To support it, my first company was bootstrapped and did around $10m in revenues but then was ultimately killed by competition and ecosystem issues.

I pocketed most this money (after taxes) ... had I raised money I'd be broke right now...

Sorry about the billing issue; that's really frustrating. We've been working on a migration of our billing systems, but that has led to some cases of double charges which are unacceptable. Working to make that right now and glad the refund was successful.

I'm looking at your ticket now; will make sure this gets solved today.
I think that the baseline more obligation is not to be exclusive, i.e. whether you are working for free or not, you have an obligation not to design tools that actively further harm to a group, demean or discriminate against a protected group, etc. The duty to be actively inclusive scales with commercial reasonability. For example, it would be reasonable to expect a small business to read aloud a menu to someone with a visual disability, at minimal cost. By contrast, it would be reasonable to expect a transnational company like Walmart to spend significant sums making stores wheelchair accessible. Someone who does something for free, or for incidental income, should only have to do very low time/cost accommodations.

At what point do we start imposing strict fines on companies that are found to have done this?

Granted, I guess we wouldn't be hearing about this instance at all if there was to be some sort of fine attached - it would have just been swept under the rug - so maybe that's not a good idea. I'm just tired of the "oops we stored your passwords in plaintext lol" from companies with engineers that should clearly know better.
Because the presupposition is that testosterone exposure in-utero is to blame.

Without actually addressing this claim by medical professionals, everything else is manipulation of data to prove a point to address 'social policy' or an economic agenda.

Moreover, the sample size, location, and dates of birth, are small and narrow, comparatively speaking. You cannot make sweeping claims like this using such small data set. But they do, and the "Material and Methods" section of this paper goes to great length to explain how they've made these extrapolations.

This is statistical sausage.

I have no doubt you could write a similar paper that claims the opposite; that females with male twins do much better. Just like this team did, you can find, extrapolate and present data to support the idea.
LOL, way to defend a crappy design.
Aside from what others have mentioned, Firefox also has the Tree Style Tabs extension, which is not privacy related but for me has changed the way I browse the internet.
Knowing that it was impact that killed people is not a very useful conclusion. You might as well say that AF 447 ended up at the bottom of the Atlantic because it flew into the water.
You're assuming I need a smartphone.
As of today the market cap of Bitcoin is $70 billion and the daily volume is $10 billion, so it takes a little effort. And regulated exchanges in the U.S. and other developed countries actually do have to follow some rules.
I am sorry to say that those babies were being passively euthanized. Starved to death, to put it more bluntly. It was a very different time; their lives were considered disposable. The fact that I now have a 27 year-old son with Down syndrome, who is the light of my life, makes those memories otherworldly and almost unbelievable. --The author
I thought screen readers by now would be able to adapt to the large volume of malformed web content out there instead of breaking on misused tags etc.
Oh, this was in 2012 so they may have disappeared. Shame. :(
How long until you guys allow for Master/Sub accounts?

Would be great to allow users to purchase domains for use on a platform...
> So the fact that this person is already targeting a $50M exit makes it less interesting to me. I just don't think I would get excited working for someone I know with that short term of a mentality.

But how do you know how much time will it take to reach that $50 million? If it was a VC backed company sure it might have taken couple of years ie short term. But for a bootstrap company focusing on a smaller pie or niche markets this could take years to happen.
Trains can also be pretty quaint in Europe today now that low cost airlines like Easyjet and Ryanair offer cheap flights to most major cities. I live in Berlin and even domestic trains are far more expensive than domestic flights to medium and large cities.
i haven't done it for a while. but a laptop, power, a big seat, flakey or non-existent internet (is it still that way?) and nothing else to do for 24+ hours is a pretty good setup for doing some serious coding.
Elon Musk has said on Twitter Tesla intends to produce batteries without any cobalt in the future. And lithium is extremely plentiful as you mention. The materials supply is a non-issue.
Note: The test seems to have been done on Skylark (aka: Ampere), which is a non-standard ARM core. I can't find any documentation on Skylark's latency / throughput specifications.
I found it interesting that this was hosted on a GE web site. Obviously they were impressed with the detail he put into the engines.
> Or, if you're on this site, it's a great excuse to sit in a small room with a view and not talk to anyone for several days, just read, write and program.

This sounds like fun. I wonder if there are any European routes that are as long/uninterrupted that I could try that on.
I’ve been doing personal computer support for family and friends since the 90s. My views derive from my experiences supporting them. I spent forty-five minutes teaching someone to press the home button on an iPad last year. You greatly overestimate the lower bounds of competence of unskilled folks.
I'm in an academic lab that uses it, I think because it's included free with the university's 365 subscription. I prefer Slack, I find the channel organization and notification system more sensible and Teams to be a bit buggy. I also find that it's easier to miss messages in Teams with the way it collapses threads by default, but maybe I just haven't adapted yet from Slack's IRC/chatroom model.

Not an "important" issue, but I also miss the built-in emoji auto-complete.
If you raise the expectation is you will spend that money in a certain timeframe (thats why you're raising)

Ultimately, the best analogy is baseball. Raising money is like going for home runs, higher chance of striking out.
We take security very seriously.
Politicians promise all kinds of things in stump speeches that they know they cannot realistically deliver. Remember Bush I's "no new taxes?" Obama's public option healthcare plan? Trump's wall?

All gone by the wayside. What you say doesn't matter if you can't guarantee the right number of votes in the legislature.
Yes! Sort of... Most of FastAPI features come from Starlette AND Pydantic.

In FastAPI you declare the parameters of your request (including deeply nested JSON bodies) as function parameters.

So, "editor support" here means, for example, autocomplete even for deeply nested models.

Also, you get automatic data validation and serialization. Automatic detailed errors in your API responses.

Also, it has a powerful dependency injection system, that helps in a lot of cases.
On a scale of Facebook with literally billions of users this is pretty much unexcusable.

This community usually scoffs at entities, which store passwords in plain text. Why do you give Facebook a pass?
You'd be surprised. There are tons of stories of incompetent self-important consultants, coming in with big ideas, and getting paid mucho dinero per day for what amounts to nothing (if not actively bad advice). I've work with some.

And don't get me started on the "specialist" consultants, whose job is to push some monstrosity, like IBM's stack, or SAP, or whatever, until it kinda fits the problem domain, and in the process sell even more crap from their vendor.

Some fun stuff (haven't checked them all, but most stuff I've read from WTF across the years was hilarious, if not true to life):

(And inversely, there are companies whose culture is all about good code and craftsmanship. But they usually don't get very far: if they don't fold, they're still niche shops. Perhaps Viaweb was one such).
What bias ?

Telling the population the border is safe knowing it's not and then they get cancer is quite factual.

I'm not talking about potential risks, I'm talking about actual confirmed events and the way they have been handled. It's not speculation, it's history.

The problem here are not the victims. It's not the risk or the stats. It's respect.

E.g: I can read your comment calmly. My friends with his scar in the throat and his helicopter pilot career down the toilet ? He would insult you and you would lose any chance of convincing him and hence his social network about nuclear.

So yeah, the pro nuclear community has a serious communication problem.
