How many people do that? If enough people don't do that and resets become normalized, then it's bad. It doesn't matter if you always do backups when switching devices if resets have been normalized to everyone you talk to, an attacker steals your number, does a reset, and none of your contacts question the reset.

> No, it means that while you can cheer this decision today, how do you know it won’t be used against you in the future?

I don't.

My view on this action is a view on this action, not every potential future action Facebook might take in the future that is loosely analogous.

> if Mark Zuckerburg who you may generally agree with leaves Facebook and is replaced by let’s say Donald Trump and his assistant Mike Pence; do you still think it should be Facebook as a service provider’s policy to gauge what offensive speech is.

Yes.

I also think that they would do a horrible job of it, and the board of Facebook should not choose them for that job. I also think Donald Trump does a horrible job directing the policy of the executive branch of the US government, but I don't think that fact means the the President of the United States should not direct executive policy.

If I thought that no one should have any responsibility or authority if Donald Trump would fail in the responsibility or misuse the authority, then, well, I wouldn't allow anyone to do anything.

It's absolutely Facebook's job to decide what messages they are willing to relay on their platform. That's a direct consequence of the First Amendment.

This is highly debatable. There are plenty of examples of benign movements and opinions that have been stifled violently by society and the state.

You can find with little effort plenty of people today calling for censoring or even being violent towards harmless liberal or conservative people because they are "communists" or "fascists". People are not good judgement and measured response.

Interesting, that was not the impression I had from 2 engineering professors at my local uni.

It's a marketing term. Many "gaming" laptops are quite well-built and it would be silly to ignore them, even for "real work". (Unless you need the sort of reliability that can only be had by moving to Xeon/EPYC cpus, ECC memory and Quadro/FirePro graphics, of course.)
If I am renting somewhere, surely I am putting money into the local economy? If I am doing that, then surely I deserve some of the benefit of an improving economy? As it is, a renter is punished for improving the local economy because it improves the value and the cost of rent goes up. As it is, employers aren't exactly keeping up with inflation. Add in the increasing cost of rent? Time to move. Oh, wait, all the high tech jobs are highly concentrated when they don't need to be.
Yeah indeed - for now we're fortunate that it's not something we need to worry about actually handling perfectly. It's more something we like to think about at this point.

One day we will need to deal with it and conversations like these are super helpful to support that.
To add to dragonwriter's post, there is also the 17th amendment:

"The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures."

It's exceptionally clear that it's an explicit right to vote for the election of senators.

Yes. You find contradictions all through this kind of belief system if you analyse it logically, because it's driven first and foremost by how people feel (or how people think others might feel).
Yes, convenience is important, but Spotify also appeals to certain groups which can't reasonably be served by physical media distribution (and individual song sales) at all.

I use Spotify to listen mostly to classical music, and I might want to hear something performed by 10 or 20 different performers. There is no way I could afford that by buying "songs" individually.

As a side note, Spotify treats classical listeners horribly, ignoring their requests (such as to show more of song titles, or search by label), which I do not understand, because these are the customers that would most likely pay a premium to get better features.
Humans need to interact physically (not necessarily with touch, but with proximity) with other humans. We are social animals.

Communication and interaction in social relationships is not just about information exchange. Non-verbal interaction (touch, gestures, physical closeness) are just as essential, if not more essential than verbal/text interaction for the majority of people.
> You can host your own video if you'd like, or maintain a personal blog site.

Making that argument would require Facebook to admit there's an internet beyond their walled garden. So far they seem happier to be grilled on national TV in front of congress than make that admission.
Another vote for the voice sounding like a deep voiced Female.

Also, if their criteria for recording was what people "identify" as that's not going to help much.

They would need people who are biologically both, hermaphrodites, or neither, neuters (i.e. hormonally castrato). And given that humans are by default biologically female (i.e. without hormones a human becomes female) I'm not surprised the voice sounds female.

Also, their "future" of people not identifying as male or female (I assume they mean that most people would be like that, not a minority) is not a future I desire.

Having males and females makes life far more enjoyable (for most).

The minority where that doesn't work for them shouldn't have a problem with the fact that others are. Anymore than someone atheist should have an issue with someone religious.

People (or voices) don't have to be similar to you in order for you to interact with them.
Australia’s constitution doesn’t quite operate in the same way, but the Australian federal government’s powers are enumerated in the constitution much like in the US constitution - as you say, governments are given positive rights by the constitution, and restricted in their power in other areas.

️ Hiii HN!

I'm Gian and with my friend Eli, we are college students very proud and happy to announce the launch of Colorffy v2.0 after months of hard work!

https://www.colorffy.com/
It's a design website, where you can search for color gradients and palettes, get color codes like hex, rgb, hsl and cmyk. Here are some cool features:

Some cool color gradients and palettes with some color codes like hex, rgb, hsl & cmyk.

Preview UI elements (buttons, badges, navbars, cards), with differents gradients, css codes and images downloads.

We have some cool generators like for color gradients, random colors and get colors from images.

Thanks!

The cant of this article is kind of grossing me out. I don't disagree with the predictions of this, but I reject the notion of people as being "useless" because they can't interface with technology. Such a position is a paperclip maximizer (https://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Paperclip_maximizer) of efficiency. There are other worthwhile things.

Are artists useless unless they can produce design? Are "idiot" friends who make us laugh but are generally low-achieving "useless"?
.NET's '10 tonne' standard library is a decent part of what makes it so usable. And it's not exactly massive either - I can publish a standalone .NET Core app that's only around 30MB in size. For the usability and GC, I'll take that over C any day.
Look at curvetun, the author used some tricks to boost the speed (PF_RING I think).
This sounds incredibly sad and dystopian.

And silly, too. Regardless of what is going on inside a person's head (which we can choose to respect, absolutely), biologically there is definitely just two genders. You can identify however you like, modify if you wish, but in the end your body will be one or the other, right along with your voice.
Rebirth: Photorealism in Unreal Engine 4 [video]
If we could figure out how to make a genderless voice, then it would be intolerant. This is not a gender neutral voice. It sounds like it's cycling between female-type and male-type voices with a very strong bias towards female-type.

I applaud the effort, but it falls very short. The voice itself is intolerant because it's almost a parody.
I feel the same way! Definitely couldn't be happier.

And I agree about the web UI. I usually read and compose my email inside Emacs, but their web interface is very nice when necessary.
I've either been friends with IT that bought 25 laptops a year, or done the buying myself for about the last decade. The new Macs have widespread reliability issues that were previously highly atypical. The genius bars have also gone to shit; it's now much less common to be able to get instore repairs. The new thing with the 2016 and on series is a joke of a warranty where the device disappears for at minimum the better part of a week.

The combination has me struggling to figure out what we buy.

By definition, this arrangement favors viewpoints that generate more public outcry, which sets up any marginalized group for being steamrolled. Do you seriously think that's going to be restricted to white nationalism? I mean, there's already plenty of other stuff that Facebook is censoring that the same people who are cheering these news have pushed back against before.

What you’ve mentioned about HTML/CSS is true for native apps too: there is a standardized API for drawing the UI (GTK+, Cocoa, whatever Windows has) and standardized data formats that back them. The issue is that apps are not necessarily required to use these (ironically it’s Electron et al. that break these) and they don’t use code that is readily inspectable, unlike pure JavaScript. On the other hand, though, this has been slowly been becoming true of the modern web: websites are ditching the DOM for React/Vue/Angular “SPAs” that use horrible selector names and minimized and nigh-impossible to comprehend JavaScript so they can reimplement things that the platform provides for free. So it’s not great either way…
Does the fact it was on low orbite would mitigate the risk of adding-up even more space debris to the current graveyard of debris? I remember it was a big concern/critique when China did its own attempt. I don't know enough about this test/space to tell if it's different this time.
This resonates with how I like to solve problems. Instead of thinking about how we can fix it or mitigate it, how can we make it impossible for a certain kind of problem to occur? Maybe it's just my procrastination speaking but I find it easier to just wipe out entire kinds of issues.
Not understanding the limited geographic rollout of this feature. Can somebody explain why is this done in such a way?
> As society continues to break down the gender binary, recognising those who neither identify as male nor female, the technology we create should follow.

People who neither identify as male nor female AND want to listen to a gender-neutral voice seems like a very niche market.

Gender is not a biological concept, period; that's sex. Your body is also distinctly not "one or the other", given that a large portion of the world is born with one of several intersex conditions.
OP didn't say it was sexism, they said it was offputting.
Well two things here.

The first is that a lot of agricultural land is leasehold, not freehold.

The second is that below a certain depth, the Crown owns what's underground and has the right to go through your property to get to its property, whether directly or by leasing it to a mining company.
I'm a big fan of this, as a non-binary trans woman. Also, it sounds like me ^^
I wonder about this too — the black Israelites are a fringe group, but what worries me are ethno/religio-nationalist groups that hold political power in the nation they reside in. Lots of examples in the Middle East and Africa; and some would say in the US as well (and the “some would say” is kind of the point here).

The more I think about these kinds of questions, the more inevitable the total Balkanization of the Internet feels. Countries are finally waking up to the fact that “individual privacy == national security” but they all have their own notions of how much privacy the individual is afforded and from whom.

Yes, they already have it, and that is the concern. If someone in Chinese intelligence wanted high quality extortion material, Chinese ownership of Grindr means they could probably get it with relative ease.
> the last anti-Jewish mass killing wasn't that long ago.

Indeed. And it was motivated by white nationalism, not the Hebrew Israelite movement, so it's kind of a weird thing to bring up if you are trying to make the case that deplatforming the latter has as strong a case as the former.
Regulatory compliance, probably.
"For example, Australia’s law enforcement could compel Apple to provide access to a customer’s iPhone and all communications made on it without the user’s awareness or consent. An engineer involved would, in theory, be unable to tell their boss about this, or risk a jail sentence."

That would be a 5-year jail sentence apparently:

"The Australian government could demand web developers to deliver spyware and software developers to push malicious updates, all under the cloak of “national security.” The penalty for speaking about these government orders—which are called technical assistance requests (TAR), technical assistance notices (TAN), and technical capability notices (TCN)—is five years in prison."

I have worked in shared/open-plan offices for almost 20 years and owned/operated a co-working space for the last few years. I prefer a more social office, so it suits me. Productivity is one thing, but I'm here for hours each day and I want to enjoy it. I have lifelong friends that have arisen from shared offices and would be very hesitant about working in a private room every day of the week.

I work in a small business environment, so having complementary businesses around me is useful, but also insightful - I've learned a lot from copywriters, graphic designers, marketers, etc.

At our coworking space, we fend off the types of tenants likely to be making a lot of sales calls, and most calls are made outside of the main space. I think it works pretty well.

I have a pretty positive impression of them as a company. The iOS app aggregates its data into Apple Health (unlike FitBit where your data is stuck in their own apps last I checked), and it's back under the original founder. They had a stint as Nokia Health but separated off last year.

Apple should have bought Spotify. They could've renamed it "Apple Music" if they wanted but they should have otherwise left it alone. They could've even gotten rid of the ad-supported stuff and made it subscription only, I personally wouldn't have cared.

But my point is that Spotify is everything Apple Music should be. I'm an avowed Apple fan owning and using many of their products and services for decades so when I say Apple Music is terrible it's not coming from a place of otherwise disdain that some have for Apple. Frankly, the whole iTunes and Apple Music teams should be embarrassed with what they continue to release. And if the Podcasts app isn't part of those teams it should be, because it is every bit as bad.

I hate to be negative but a spade needs to be called a spade in this case. Apple needs to be called out on those shoddy products.

All true, but it's a fact that they recruit through the internet and have had a digital organizing strategy since the 1980s. The armored car robberies mentioned herein were used to finance a nationwide chain of bulletin boards known as Aryan Nations Liberty Net.

Recruitment matters because groups that don't recruit successfully eventually lose momentum, are penetrated by spies, or dissolve into infighting over everything from leadership status to money to women. In fact, the biggest mortality risk for RW extremists seems to come from their own peer group, though I don't have stats for this offhand.

Certainly those attitudes and ideologies will continue to exist in the face of deplatforming, but raising the costs of recruitment, retention, and operation seems to be an effective strategy.

"Tech" is too broad to say anything useful. A smart high schooler can learn "*nix and coding", and there's no way I would pay the $300K/yr that CS PhD holders cost if all I needed was a sys admin.

But you're not going to build the first self-driving car without an army including lots of PhDs. You're not going to develop a new pharmaceutical without an army including lots of PhDs. You're not going to get the sort of branding that being the first to beat the best humans at Go/Chess/Poker can get you without an army including lots of PhDs. And so on.

You're absolutely right that PhDs aren't required for the sort of sys admin and coding work that's accessible to bright high schoolers. But there are very few competent CS PhDs who would even bother applying for those jobs.

Also, your comment isn't germane to the article because the article isn't talking about sys admin and coding jobs. I've literally never seen a job posting for a sys admin job that asks for a PhD. Have you?
