This is recommendations working as intended. If all people got was recommendations to what they already watch them they're no chance for new creators to get recommended.

Also, I wrote a note quick program to use selenium to traverse YouTube recommendations. I didn't find any weird rabbit holes or anything. I can release the source code if you want, though I'm pretty sure similar tools already exist.
That was said about many deeply unpopular pieces of legislation over the last few years (the Friday Night Tax Bill comes to mind).
Anyone who thinks GS is taking any action without the intent of profiting from said action is hopelessly naive.
It's called the "border search exception." It's not exactly that the constitution does not apply, but that certain searches are- in the context of the border- considered "reasonable", that would not be in the interior. The 4th amendment is not an absolute right- a search just has to be "reasonable;" context is a big factor into whether a search is reasonable.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_search_exception

> This balance at international borders means that routine searches are "reasonable" there, and therefore do not violate the Fourth Amendment's proscription against "unreasonable searches and seizures".

According to Wikipedia, there is currently a circuit split* on whether phone searches at the border require individualized suspicion, or can be conducted routinely, without falling foul of the 4th amendment.

* (two sets of appeals courts have ruled in contradictory ways; these splits can be resolved by SCOTUS if they choose)

While sometimes user actually knowingly make those trade-offs, I suspect many think they do a quite different trade-off.

It's not really that people trust you that much, it is more that they in the moment you ask don't understand the consequences at all.

Unless you very explicitly tell the users about the risks, that they wold have zero recourse if something goes wrong, they will believe it is okay for them, that somehow everything is taken care of.

Very similar to the why people fall for con men. Nobody expects someone to have the audacity to lie so grandly, act so confidently, while in truth being completely 'naked'.

You tend to assume that the insanity must have a point, that the obvious loopholes must somehow be covered - taken care of - based on nothing but the fact that someone acted with confidence.
Yes the secure zone is even more risky in my opinion.

Triple redundancy makes planes extremely safe to fly. Airbus has triple redundancy, and Boeing doesn't believe in it because they care more about profits. So the simple answer is to avoid flying on Boeing aircraft, and stick to Airbus ones.

true, but my point still holds: there is very little randomness in the way brain works. yes, it is present, but not as a primary device to deal with large search space.

we don't have a definitive answers on how the brain works, but I think, in this discussion, sparsity and hierarchy are those devices.
The meaning of words also differs between dialects and even idiolects. If you ask one person what an emoji means, chances are they will tell you how they interpret it.

As far as I know, there's no such registry. There are exceptions under Section 108 for institutions that fit a certain definition of library, but from what I can tell as a non-laywer, they don't allow the kind of indiscriminate reproduction that the IA engages on: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/108
There seems to be a lot of concern and disdain in this thread about the treatment of a US citizen. The truth however is that non US citizens in the same circumstances can be, for all intents and purposes, "disappeared". If something concerns you as a US citizen, it should be that, not comical mishaps in the security circus happening to semi-famous people.

Also, Gal didn't make any sort of moral stand, he was simply defending his proprietary employer's interest. It's not the most sympathetic story.

So, in the end, the article only left me wondering how people who climb the ladder inside Mozilla, ostensibly an open and free environment, can easily end up at Apple, which revels in closed and proprietary environments. Maybe Mozilla should introduce some of the values they claim to hold into the hiring and promotion process.

Sorry for any confusion.
I agree with you in principle, but then we're giving up the redundancy and safety offered by multiple data centers. The cost also comes down at cloud scale so that you're only paying a few dollars a month instead of large up front purchases.

There's also a technical hurtle for the average person. Are they going to manually sync all their data from devices every time?
You bring up an important point. At the same time, the media is in a precarious codependent position, needing to whip up its readers into an emotional frenzy, simply to stay alive.

Revoking the abilities of companies to limit their liabilities is very hard. Very few companies could exist (certainly no public ones) if there was no bottom to what personal assets could be clawed back in a corporate bankruptcy.

I’m not arguing that limited liability is perfect - just that we’ve built much of capitalism (including our ability to invest) on top of it.

The fourth amendment has been interpreted by SCOTUS in such a way that certain things are "reasonable" near the border that would not be further away from it.

Sorry for the delayed reply. Have been too busy.

Today I got a delivery for 6 revision books for my daughter. One is incorrect. I know when I return it, I'm going to get the same damn wrong book again because somewhere along the line someone doesn't give a fuck and everything is so utterly compartmentalised.

What you're describing doesn't sound like a particularly good investment. You replace the problem of picking stocks with the problem of picking VCs and have less liquidity. You have the potential for really obscene returns picking stocks too but there's no real reason to think picking VCs is any easier.

That's true, but basically every publisher does it because they want an LCCN. I suppose if you self publish you don't have to.

But the bigger point is that to be in the archive you have to bear some of the cost.

> But these problems are distant. Renewables will start to encounter them in earnest when solar makes up >20-30% of electricity and when wind makes up >40-50% of electricity. Today, worldwide, solar is only 2% and wind is only perhaps 6% of global electricity. Cheap multi-hour storage will arrive before that (indeed, in the next few years), lowering the price of using solar to meet the evening peak, and of dealing with intermittency on the order of minutes to several hours. Only seasonal storage (and perhaps the political challenges of long-range transmission) seem to be truly difficult problems. And we have time before they begin to impair the growth of renewables.

This is where things get hard. Besides electricity, we also have to clean up all transportation, industrial, and space heating. This isn't so distant in an energy systems perspective. This is where having things like nuclear power plants with district heating will likely be important.

Until then, it's great to see wind and solar performing so excellently.

I still can't believe San Bernardino county already NIMBY-banned more large solar installations in the California deserts.

How Spark Handles Your Data and How to Remove Your Data from Spark
Every comment submitted here is kept by Y Combinator and they own it in the same way facebook or "applebook" would own it, except they don't run ads. But if you were to apply to their accelerator they would use your comments to determine if they want to accept your business idea so there is definitely added value to them of your data being surrendered to them freely.
Those are all scary indeed. Ways you can cut your hand off. Has a nice ring to it, sounds like something to worry about more than "ways you can write unreadable garbage code that not even the author can still parse for themselves in their head."

Nobody is arguing that there aren't ways to misuse this new feature. There obviously are! But I can tell you we have plenty of time to call the ways out and warn everyone not to do those things, before ruby-2.7 will be affecting any legacy codebases.

If you feel strongly about this, the time to argue about it is definitely now, not after the first 2.7 release is already cut.

It makes the list of un-googlable idiomatic syntaxes that you must learn and keep in a list, in order to guarantee you won't ever find a bit of Ruby code that you can't understand, marginally longer. There are several such features planned in the ruby-2.7-head now. Is this really the worst of them?
I do agree that they were vastly superior, but I believe that the new and disruptive thing that Google brought to the table in those markets was the monetization model. They offer valuable services without any visible price tag because the data those services generate are driving the profits from ads. I don't know if they were the first to do this, but that's an invention in my book..
Seems substantive to me: it's a testimony from a founder working with a16z about the benefits of the 'services' model of a16z.

I found the way Feedly handles scrolling to be aggravating to the point where I couldn't use it.

The Old Reader is great, but it doesn't have a mobile app. For a while, I ended up having accounts with both The Old Reader and Feedly, so I could use The Old Reader on desktop and GReader (a Feedly client) on mobile.
I haven't read the paper yet, but this idea shouldn't be terribly surprising. Augustine of Hippo did a pretty thorough analysis at least of the Greco-Roman gods in the early 400s and wrote about how pagan gods generally aren't moralizing, and how the punishments or favors they give often have little to do with how moral a particular person is and the behavior of the Greco-Roman gods is also not an example worth following. One of the arguments that he and others made in favor of Christianity is that in our faith, the religious and moral come together, and that this was a mostly novel concept at the time.
> none of those are specifically signs of superior PL expertise.

If none of the things on that list is a sign of superior PL expertise, one would have to ask whether PL expertise is actually worth very much.
Hi there, I head up the channel program at Segment and I'd love an opportunity to answer these questions and give you a demo of our products––I suspect we could work well together. Can I ask you to (1) sign up to become a channel partner: https://segment.com/partners/channel/ and (2) send me an email to get started? vlad@segment.com
I can relate. I (and my friends) went through exactly same "challenges".
Challenges are there to be solved, what you are experiencing is not the end of the world.

Your situation seems like a mix of depression + imposer syndrom + not exciting tasks at work:

Job: you are 20, it's totally fine to quit and do something else. Even something completely different. This is what the 20's are meant for. Find something you enjoy. I switched from marketing to development at age 27. It's totally fine to do job-hopping at this stage.

Friends: talk with them honestly. Tell them what you feel. Most likely they feel the same and will open up. Suggest actives. Start with small things, like drinking coffee every Sunday at the cafe around the corner, Xbox night every Wednesday, etc.

Don't worry, you won't lose any opportunity. If you don't enjoy it, it isn't meant for you anyways.

Good luck!

> The bodybuilders are helping us explore these molecules and many times doing it in an open source, collaborative way. They will have blood work done and post it before and after the run. The community evaluates their bloodwork and can validate whether it worked, if the source was good etc. It's pretty impressive real-time, science experiments. And if you hang around and read all the science and see enough of those n=1 studies, the patterns and consensus that emerge are pretty clear.

We have no way of knowing who these people are, what they are taking, or if they are underground labs posting to drum up business. The companies developing SARMs want to test them on people that have cancer cachexia. So yes, researching with bodybuilders is completely useless.
It's been a while since I disagreed this much with a privacy-related article. It's a good reminder to me that the privacy community is reasonably diverse, and that different people can advocate for the same policies for very different reasons.

I advocate for privacy a lot, but my end goal definitely isn't data ownership. If anything, I'd like to see IP protections start to go in the opposite direction. I'm not against the idea of copyright as a purely practical invention, but I certainly don't believe anyone has an intrinsic moral right to a monopoly on creative or factual information.

So I take some issue with the idea that privacy is just a gateway to something else. To me, privacy and anonymity are the end goal. There's not a secondary, deeper issue behind that. I'm not mad that Facebook is making money off of my information, I'm mad that they were able to get it in the first place.

This is important, because when you transition to talking about data ownership as the underlying problem, then you start to lose ground on questions like, "why is it important that the government not be able to track my GPS location anytime they like? What was really wrong with programs like PRISM?" Because Government privacy concerns don't really have anything to do with data ownership.
I love the creative writing and entitlement that comes through when someone has been wronged.

> Ex-Mozilla CTO

Has no more or less rights than anyone else.

> Techie says he was grilled for three hours

Clearly click bait 'grilled for three hours'. Not questioned but 'grilled'.

> "There I quickly found myself surrounded by three armed agents wearing bullet proof vests."

So what? Of course they were armed. Of course they had bullet proof vests. The sole purpose of using words like that (by a writer) is to get the goat of anyone reading and have them all up in arms about INJUSTICE of one type or another.

> They started to question me aggressively regarding my trip, my current employment, and my past work for Mozilla

What do you think? They should act like the concierge at the Four Seasons? Of course they are going to be aggressive. That's law enforcement attitude and there is a purpose for doing so.

> Given the devices were emblazoned with big red stickers reading "PROPERTY OF APPLE. PROPRIETARY," and he had signed confidentially agreements with Cupertino, Gal said he asked for permission to call his bosses and/or a lawyer to see if he would get into trouble by handing over access.

This is total BS. You don't need your bosses agreement when a request is made from Law Enforcement at least not because you signed some NDA etc. Fine that he attempted and asked. But the reason is weak.

> and threatened him with criminal charges should he not concede to the search

Cops are allowed to lie. Not sure what the story is with border agents but possibly the same. That is how they often get info.

> "My past work on encryption and online privacy is well documented, and so is my disapproval of the Trump administration and my history of significant campaign contributions to Democratic candidates,"

He is living in fantasy land here if he thinks there is some list of people that are being targeted for that reason. Not that it could happen but highly unlikely. It would take an entire Nixonian operation to pull that off. I think more likely since he came from a former communist state his thinking goes to this type of paranoia.

> Now, Gal has enlisted the help of the ACLU to probe into the brouhaha, and determine whether his civil rights were violated.

Yes everyone is looking either for more internet fame or a payout. Not sure why he needs to save the world and belabor the issue. Just move on and don't waste time.

> "Furthermore, CBP’s policies lack protections for First Amendment rights by allowing interrogation and device searches that may be based on a traveler’s political beliefs, activism, nation of origin, or identity."

Sounds like typical ACLU behavior for more publicity to aid fund raising (story on 60 Minutes):

https://www.cbs.com/shows/60_minutes/video/cm_lFZDERHcELSPw2...

ACLU got into high gear over Trump and sends out letters literally trying to raise money (I received one) clearly mentioning in so many words to take Trump down. Not the same organization that it used to be. On the 60 Minutes story iirc a former head of ACLU was interviewed and bothered by the current behavior.

I keep reading about various targetted immunotherapy papers with such amazing potential.

It would seem our entire medical establishment is just waiting for simple pills to come out of it, whereas the real "cure" for cancer would seem to be something like a production version of this.

An organized labor pipeline of testing/sequencing of the patient, computational analysis of the specific expression, to specific cancer therapy targeted to the specific cancer case's biochemistry. It wouldn't be cheap, but given the cost of drugs, it could still be efficiently delivered for a similar cost, especially in managed health care systems.

Of course over time, "templates" of therapies for classes of cancer gene expressions would converge. That would be ongoing optimization/efficiency.

But I have no confidence the American health system would deviate from its culture of one size fits all pill pushing or nothing.
Abuse of power, indeed -- but he should have let Apple's lawyers sort out the proprietary device access issue after the fact. Pretty sure as Google employees the advice to us is to cooperate fully and then make sure lawyers know about it later.

You're only 20. Chill. Hard work pays in the long run. Your mental state is clouding your ability to focus, so try fixing that. Write down intrusive thoughts to deal with them individually. You already have the goals of more friendships and better fitness health, you just won't see immediate improvements, so break it down into manageable chunks. Log progress. To lose weight, 85% proper diet and 15% exercise. Don't leave the job simply on a whim. But if a job makes you miserable and you have other options then explore. You being young means you can wander further sideways in the cone of possibilities. We all struggle. Keep your head up and looking forward, there's not much else that's better to do.
> Goldman was routinely at the top of the NYSE rankings with regard to programmatic trading volume.

I took 'secret sauce' in GP's comment to mean 'profitable strategies'. Don't confuse volume with profitability. It's conceivable that a BB would deliberately lose money in some activities to have clients give them other, more profitable flow/business.
