I don't think so. It opened an incognito window over VPN. It then watched 50-100% of the video (randomly determined) before clicking a recommendation. I repeated the tests manually and got generally similar patterns of recommendations. I guess I could improve randomization of mouse movements, but I don't think they's much incentive for YouTube to detect automated browsers to control recommendations. Is your line of thinking that they say "hey, if we detect an automated browser we'll recommended a bunch of family friendly videos but when it's real users we'll recommended the creepy stuff?" That's pretty moustache-twirlingly conniving and I don't see a big incentive for YouTube to do this.

Protecting users data is a very hard problem to solve in current tech landscape. There are enormously profitable business build around this and are driving significant portion of economy.

Only solution I can see is to build alternative economic model that can thrive while protecting data, otherwise it would be an uphill battle with all tech giants that are going after user data for profit.
This is why I think that the solar investment tax credit is better than the wind production tax credit. The wind PTC pays $23 per megawatt-hour generated in the first 10 years of a wind generator's life, regardless of demand at the time of generation. The solar ITC is a 30% tax credit for building new solar plants, but built plants still have to find positive-price buyers for their output to be profitable.

The ITC encourages the development of clean generation without introducing any negative-pricing scenarios. During times of high output and low demand solar plants may bid prices very close to zero, but they won't go below zero. That encourages better matching of new renewable capacity with actual demand.

However i really don't like the fact that again we talk that much about PV solar energy. As utility, spot electricity generator, they are fine (and way more effective than thermal), but as far as solar farm are concerned, we should lobby for thermal if the water supply allows it.
Hmm. So if the teacher doesn't understand anything deeper, then the teacher is probably going to resist making the class deeper. That would make perfect sense.
Um, this is definitely the case. DHS has an advanced record keeping system. They have tons of information on every person arriving in the US. Yes they even know what you ordered on your in flight meal.
I also wouldn't be surprised if they made huge investments during crypto mania that are now worth pennies on the dollar. Being bullish is the only way to get other people to buy them and stem the bleeding.
Building science has been stonewalled and ignored by regulators who work closely with property developers. The efficiency of US buildings/homes is abysmal, and because energy is relatively cheap, there is little economic pressure to invest in efficiency upgrades.

Multi-Level Intermediate Representation Compiler Infrastructure
Most communication throughout history has been ephemeral, and lost as soon as the people relevant died without relaying it to someone else.

Consider the 1800s, where much of our understanding of the attitudes of the day comes from newspapers and archived letters. Then consider how many more were discarded once they had served their purpose.

Today it's possible to archive all of that ephemeral information, but it has never been necessary.

Usenet, for example, was thought to be ephemeral because at best you had a few months worth of posts archived on your server and maybe your local machine, so if you said something boneheaded, it was going to naturally fall off the internet sooner rather than later. As it turns out, that was an incorrect view of the world.

Most forums are treated by their users the same way; a place for people to meet and talk about things in quasi-realtime, but not to archive those discussions for all time. Of course, as it turns out, those discussions are archived for all time, or until the forum closes or has a catastrophic data loss (e.g. this one we're on now).
Other people are smart, too.
But you can have a bit more trust in the supply chain to get to you than that it hasn't been tampered with afterwards.

>The non-profit aspect won't help them in the least. //

AIUI one of the tests for Fair Use [in USA] looks at whether use is non-commercial (not the same as non-profit; commercial use can be free-gratis, for example; nor is it a sufficient condition in itself), so it could be a key element in a court decision I feel; what's more important perhaps is that people are less inclined to sue non-profits because of the potential harm to their own public image.

Google are pretty canny, I'd expect them to let IA lead - eg assumed consent with old books - in order to set a non-binding precedent so that they can go to the press should they be challenged and say "well we just followed what the noble souls of IA are doing, and this court decision will harm the IA".

Last I looked, IIRC, Papua New Guinea wasn't signatory to copyright treaties, but I think they were planning on signing. There's probably a country in a similar circumstances that would be a reasonable place for holding a backup archive that includes the stuff less liberal regimes want you to ditch.
That the awards matter that much to Netflix is surprising to me.
The Applebook metaphor in the article breaks down because data is infinitely copyable. It's actually costing less than nothing for this hypothetical "Applebook" to store (copies of) my apples: if there's a disaster back home and my orchard is wrecked, I can partially rebuild from the redundant apples that Applebook has stored. By my calculus, that's a net positive for me.

So it’s fear of the unknown? I’m genuinely curious why people are so bothered by this. I don’t use Facebook, and use privacy extensions to prevent my agents from using Facebook. It’s like they’re a non existent entity in my world.

I simply can’t prioritize caring about something that doesn’t appear to impact my life in any way. But I’m admittedly not much of a principalled-living person. Too much internal hypocrisy for me to pretend to be principled.
Just because access to the data is secured and legal (according to present or future law), doesn't mean it's not being used for reprehensible purposes. Plenty of abuse was and still is legal.
I would like to believe so. But maybe there isn't, or his leaving makes it worse.
My point, though, is that that burden shouldn't fall on the single individual, for his power to promote actual change is negligible.

More anecdotally, I know in my home country it was a lost fight, as even among close friends and family, I found it hard to find a reflection of my own values. How could I hope to influence the other 200+ million people?
Interesting. I read that as a future-looking statement, justifying the past as an indicator of the future.

Consider the statement "I don't think I could have survived if I was forced to cycle to work every day!" While I'm not saying it outright, I'm making it clear that tomorrow I will not be cycling to work.

At the end, he almost does say it outright: "But our vision is a grand one—unify all of computation into a single coherent language, and for that, the FOSS development model is not well suited." In other words, don't hold your breath for it to happen in the future - it doesn't fit with our vision.
Go for the startup early in your career, consider the big company later in your career. The advantage of a startup early in your career is you'll be give wide latitude for taking on many roles - heck it's going to be needed! This will give you the opportunity to do things you will never be able to do at a big company and get a lot of experience in general.

Big companies tend to offer more financial security - which is something you may find yourself wanting later on in your career. Big companies also provide the opportunity to take on big opportunities that could never be considered at a startup - but unless you have a lot of experience you're never going to get to work on that project anyway.

The only other thing I would advise is not to stay anywhere too long while in your twenties. 2-3 years. Get a wide range of opportunities to work in different environments and with different kinds of people. It's not for the money (though that helps too) - that experience will make you extremely valuable to a big company later on.

Good luck!

I'm curious what your experience is with this? I've worked at Google and AWS and I don't think I've met a single person who thought they were "changing the world".

The closest it ever got to that was when I once remarked to my lead that I wish I felt like the work I do mattered to which he replied something along the lines of, "We play but a small part in the grand movement that is the progress of technology, but don't forget we do play a part."

Pretty much everyone I know just does their job because they want to retire or support their families. This is also the same for almost every employee I've seen in other sized companies.

K-polytopes: a superproblem of k-means
In my own view, the people arguing that movies never available to the public in some archive-able format should be given secondary consideration kind of have a point. I've been to the Louvre. Several times. I've seen the Mona Lisa. So I can make my own judgement. But if someone in, say, 1525 said, "This is one of the greatest works of all time", and then locked it in a Vatican Vault for the next 500 years, I should be forgiven for being skeptical. (At least until 2025 when they brought it out from the vault. Whereupon I can make my own judgement.)

I'm not in the movie business at all, so I'm just a regular person, but I guess what I'm saying is, in 50 years, why do I have to just take the Academy's word that Film X is good? They'd be saying, "Trust us. We have a copy of it, and we've seen it. It's one of the best films ever." Which is fine. But why can't I get it and judge for myself? Why can't I get it show it to some friends and neighbors and talk about it? It's a legitimate issue in my view.

That's kind of the point. FB isn't going to change until it starts to suffer, and the a good way to cause it to suffer is to reduce its usefulness.

The best way to do that is to make the feed useless.

shrug Whatever. The account's locked now and I don't really care enough to unlock it.

Interesting experiment.
I don't think that will go anywhere. How do you prove the government did it and that it wasn't on there before the encounter?

This article is wrong when it comes to GDPR. It could be a good thing. I friend invited me to MeWe via Twitter post and I accepted. I would like not to be able to export and if I wish delete my data. That would be my all of my data, including my contacts. I would import this data to MeWe, or what's possible. At the moment Contacts would do. Good for me and MeWe. This is what GDPR would allow. There is no open format for this exchange, but being on the market, someone will quickly come up with a service to convert the data, or MeWe guys could some up with import data from FB function.

Nice, I had forgotten about that. Previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17297673
I've been primarily a ruby programmer for the last 10 years. I remember when I started to learn Ruby the "there's more than one way to do it" philosophy really bothered me, and I thought it would cause lots of problems. But I just haven't found that to be the case. Even though a lot of these language additions don't add functionality they do make day to day programming more pleasant. Maybe I just kind of think the same way as Matz.

I remember I thought &. was going to lead to loads of PHP style abuse, but I haven't seen that. My initial reaction to the new implicit block parameters was also "yuk" for all the reasons mentioned in the article. But I think they will generally be used responsibly for very small blocks, where people would typically just name their vars x, y, z anyway.

"There's more than one way to do it" did make learning a little harder, but you spend much more time as an expert than as a beginner, so I don't think languages should be optimized for beginners.

As for refinements, I have never used them, never seen them used, and I don't even really remember what they are. I think they were to save us from the evils of monkey patching. But in general the community has learned to monkey patch fairly responsibly, and I've rarely had a problem with it, except with a few fairly old gems.

As for new features that I think would really bring ruby to the next level - better functional programming support, better concurrency support, and optional typing would be fantastic (I know, hello Elixir. But I hear typespecs in elixir are meh).

Functions are only "first class-ish" in ruby - the block/proc stuff was fairly revolutionary to people coming from Java and C, but it is clunky compared to most any other language with first class functions. Javascript should never do something better than ruby.

Good concurrency primitives are also key for language adoption in 2019 - even though simple process based concurrency is simple and safe for probably 80% to 90% of the apps out there - when people choose languages they want the one that will handle 10,000 requests per second using 2 GB of RAM.
Interesting view. The issue you raise of "misleading picture" is important.

Hopefully, this iGeneration research project will address these types of weaknesses head-on, possibly in the limitations section of their report? For instance, when the authors explain their data collection process and analysis methods, it would be useful if they describe the steps taken to minimize or at least acknowledge possible biases that may affect validity.
Can you elaborate? How many TW-hours of energy storage are you talking about being not difficult? Imagine for example the US Midwest and northeast from October through May.
This is a case of “What you permit, you promote.” People focus on the 0.01% of a platform’s content that’s bad/toxic because that is what defines where the platform draws the line on what’s acceptable.

> There are definitely people on the left who claim that sex isn't binary

It fairly obviously is not. That sex traits are multidimensional and that there are more than two ways that that they present in combination is...not really a matte about which there can be serious, fact-based debate.

> and that the existence of intersex people somehow disproves the idea of male/female sexes.

It (and a number of other phenomena that aren't typically labelled intersex, including, but not limited to, the way certain physical sex-linked traits other than external genitalia in transexuals are, on average, more typical of the sex corresponding to their gender identity than to sex identified by their at-birh genitalia or combination of sex chromosomes) obviously disproves the idea of exclusive stereotypical male and female sexes.

But none of that is relevant to the upthread issue, which was the supposed claim that males and females are mentally identical. That is a rather distinct claim from “sex is more complex than a male/female binary distinction”.
I don't understant why LI-ion batteries are being used in such locations. They are definitely better in terms of energy density, but when size/weight isn't a concern, why are oldschool lead acid batteries not competitive? They are cheap, well-understood, and easily recyclable at end of life. Lithiums are more expensive and difficult to recycle. I understand why they are favored in vehicles, but for massive grid installs?
We just have to be clear that the "somewhere" is not the VCs. It may be your pension plan or your municipality.
Keep in mind that the US uses first-past-the-post voting for many elections, meaning the party with most votes takes the entire pie that was voted for. Thus not voting for one of the two biggest parties will help that other big one you like even less. Yes, this kind of system doesn't allow a diverse set of parties.
Not enough thought. With 7tx/sec it will take 35 years to open a channel for everyone on earth and another 35 years to close it assuming nobody is born. I believe that's in the white paper, actually. Either way you'll be paying $1.26 to open a channel and another $1.26 to close it, so paying Stripe 2.9% + $0.30 makes the fee break-even point vs having a wallet on your micropayments server funding with $76, any less, Stripe wins.

I’ve been using mobile boarding passes exclusively for the past few years and it doesn’t even remotely work in the way you describe (within the US, at least; cannot comment on CBP).

1. There is no special app you need for mobile boarding passes. It has always been either a PDF or a PNG file emailed to you.

2. I was never asked to hand over my phone to TSA agents at any point. They just ask you to put your phone with the boarding pass QR code displayed over a QR scanner. At no point the phone leaves your hands.
For home heating, heap pumps are generally cost competitive with carbon based fuels in temperate climates. They become less efficient as the temperature drops until they are equivalent to resistance electric heating. However, they can be extended via ground source heating at reasonable cost.

Turning sunlight to heat directly is both cheap and efficient. Most often seen in greenhouses and solar pool heaters, but similar tech works on homes and hot water just fine. This does require sunlight so while it can work as far north as Maine it falls off in the Artic. Luckily a relatively small chunk of the global population lives that far north.

"One major difference is "the media" is not a monolithic entity with singular purpose, while Facebook is."

Eh, it's closer to that then you might think if you haven't seen the chart of who owns what, and how few "owners" there actually are. It's not technically a monopoly, but a reasonable case can be made it's an oligarchy.

But no, it's not literally a single entity.

(I don't necessarily endorse this chart fully, you can search yourself on "who owns media companies", but the info is sometimes out of date as they buy and sell things. But it at least generally looks like https://www.webfx.com/data/the-6-companies-that-own-almost-a... )
