> Before we proceed, recall that Facebook is now a "morally bankrupt liars" because it "enabled genocide", "facilitate foreign undermining of democratic institutions", "allow the live streaming of suicides, rape, and murders", and "host and publish the mosque attack video".

This is a nice example of a not so common fallacy, the "fallacy fallacy": suppose that you have an argument a for the proposition p:

a -> p

It does not follow that:

~a -> ~p

Which is to say, showing some cherry-picked argument for Facebook being unethical to be invalid tells us nothing about Facebook being unethical or not.

Given that you crated a throwaway account one hour ago just to post this comment, I suspect that you are aware of what I am saying, but others may not be.

For those interested in a less cherry-picked source of claims against Facebook, there's even a Wikipedia page just for that (warning: it is quite long):

The companies are also the ones trying to build the new housing atop that laundromat, or open that ice cream shop.

I’m not sure how you could read TFA and come away with companies need more regulations? True or not it seems besides the point.

The soul of SF is empty as long as the laws and regulations of the city serve only the wealthy. The policies of the overwhelmingly democratic city have created a festering menagerie of wealthy post-IPO wunderkin and drugged homeless masses. The people that used to live in that city now drive 3 hours to get to their medial job in the city cleaning, catering, delivering, or transporting the rich urbanites.

More corporate regulation? I don’t get it.

Definitely not. Precisely because I care about ethics that I bring these up. The reason is that I think we as a society (well, at least a subset of the tech community) romanticizes free (beer and speech), open-source, decentralized, and non-profit projects so much that we automatically equate them as being ethical. (Exhibit A: this website, ethical.net.)

The truth is that ethics is hugely complex and nuanced. For example, what is your take on a super secure messaging app like Signal? Obviously, it is useful because it allows people to communicate privately (e.g., allows confidential sources to talk to journalists without being spied on). Now, what about the cliched scenario where it is being used by criminals to coordinate their bad deeds? Honestly, I don't know. I live in a democratic country whose government respects its citizen's privacy. As such, I am perfectly willing to give up a little bit of privacy (between myself and my government) if it means keeping the society safer. On the other hand, there are people (lots of em) who are not as fortunate as I am -- a wrong sneeze and you are dead.

Ethics is complicated. Even if we fully understand a product (or policy or project), it doesn't mean we fully understand its ethical impact. And even if we do understand its ethical impact, it is almost impossible for us to say if its entirety ethical or not. Because of these complexities, any attempt to consider ethics as a yes/no label (like this site, ethical.net) is almost certainly wrong. In fact, it trivializes this very important issue.

This is what they did at my undergraduate university

Do all of these in order first:

Calculus 1 and 2

Linear algebra and multivariable calculus and an introduction to proofs / logic course (you are ready for some electives at this point)

Ordinary differential equations

Any of these can be done concurrently, choose one Analysis and one algebra :

Advanced calculus (eg “understanding analysis” by Abbott)

Linear algebra in the sense of finite dimensional vector spaces

Easier abstract algebra (senior level classes are eg Artin and rudin, these ones are more elementary textbooks)

Core Senior level courses that you take if you want to get good at math:

Analysis sequence (1 year on baby
Rudin)

Algebra sequence (1 year on artin)

Topology (munkres)

Electives:

Probability (can be done after multivariable calc)

Linear optimization (after linear algebra + multivariable calc)

Logic (compactness completeness godel etc whatever, can be done after intro to proofs course but will probably make less sense if you didn’t study some more stuff first)

Numerical analysis (after ODEs I guess or calculus + linear algebra if you want to skip tht stuff)

Statistics (after probability)

Combinatorics - after calc 2 and linear algebra

Geometry - after multivariable calc, linear algebra, proofs

Intro Differential geometry: after advanced calculus

Don’t really have much more knowledge for graduate courses etc. or even some common ones like complex analysis. if you know the senior level core stuff you’re probably “good enough” to make some progress on a lot of things. Each of these classes is 100-200 hours of total study so it seems odd to me that someone will just try to study it on their own by there you go I guess

> But for us, ethical means moving in the direction of least possible harm against other people, animals and the planet.
That's the thing though---given the interface of the law to the question, there are right and wrong things to say and do if one wishes to keep one's job. Paul Graham wrote an essay about "What you can't say" related to this topic (http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html); he doesn't say anywhere in the essay that people who say the things you can't say don't suffer consequences. And the NLRB has made pretty clear that in Damore's case, he crossed a line.

>This likely makes overall Bitcoin mining greener, hurting the Bitcoin climate change FUD.

I dislike the fact that Bitcoin fans have commandeered the term "FUD". The term originally referred to coming out of Microsoft, but you are using it to refer to well-intentioned people saying things that are true.

It's the same as what happened to the term "fake news."

Bitcoin has some very serious problems. We all know what they are. If you keep pretending they don't exist, you only hurt your own credibility.

Please show me where an unemployed person with uncertain future prospects and neither a work history nor any assets can get an unsecured personal loan for 4-9%? I'll even give you a pass on the requirements of the loan payback being subject to employment or a minimum income, a payment cap or a term limit.

Adding to the above, as noted the edit to my previous comment, even the 15% APR number is wrong in general. An English major would have to earn over $500,000 in 7 years to hit that APR.

I use Make to automate the initial CMake setup step - though by "Make" I probably mean something more like "glorified shell script", as the Makefile in question consists entirely of phony targets. It detects the OS with the usual bunch of ifs, and by default does one of 3 things:

- Windows - generates a VC++ project

- OS X - generates an Xcode project

- Unix (other) - generates Ninja files for Debug/RelWithDebInfo

(Typically there's also the option to generate Ninja files on OS X if you like - good for automated build and/or if you'd just rather use some other editor (which is not unreasonable).)

Once it finishes, on Windows you load "build/vs2017/whatever.sln" into VC++; on OS X you load "build/xcode/whatever.xcodeproj" into Xcode; on Unix (other) you change to "build/Debug" or "build/Release" and run "ninja". And off you go. After that, it all just kind of runs itself.

The Makefile consists of basically stuff like this:

.PHONY:unix
unix:
rm -Rf build/Debug
mkdir -p build/Debug
cd build/Debug && cmake -G "Ninja" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../..
rm -Rf build/Release
mkdir -p build/Release
cd build/Debug && cmake -G "Ninja" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo ../..

plus some ifs to ensure the right target(s) are available depending on host OS.

(I've found it beneficial to regenerate everything entirely from scratch each time in the Makefile - ensures you're always working from a clean slate, with no cached variables sticking around from old runs. The odd package does have an unusually time-consuming configuration process, but I've always ended up managing to bypass these somehow - it's possible a future revision of my "process" will have to actually address this properly.)

This process does confuse people that don't read the instructions, as they type "make", some stuff happens, and then nothing. But I've found it to work well enough.
It's a map. You don't propose maps, you just draw them and either sell them or give them out for free.

Also it's Berlin where people generally feel they own the city and everything in it, corporations and government only coming second.

If someone makes a map and a majority starts using it... guess it's our map now.

Knowing the image the BVG and S-Bahn generally try to project, I can even image them rolling over if people say they like that map. Unlikely, but we'll see if it gets mainstream attention.

One of the primary drivers for JDK support is security. As far as I can tell, Oracle remains the only member of the OpenJDK community participating in the vulnerability pre-disclosure process. They are also not releasing source for JDKs after 6 months. Therefore, users of non-Oracle supported JDKs will be exposed to a zero day attack between the time of Oracle's CVE disclosure/patch release and the time that their OpenJDK distribution creates, tests, and releases a patch. I would love to see these communities thrive, but the reality is that Oracle is strangling them in the crib by taking control of the most important support functions.
Security-wise they haven't been really tested yet, but Ethereum moving to a PoS model will be a good case.

The only reason they are accepted at the moment is that it's free money, especially for the initial coin holders(founders/friend investors etc.).

For some reason people now accept fully pre-distributed coins. At least Ethereum went through a PoW phase to allow for some non-ICO distribution.
San Francisco is nowhere near overpopulated. We have the tech and the money for perfectly civilized mid- and high-rise buildings. We just choose not to use it.

Postwar sprawl is grossly underpopulated which makes SF seem like Kowloon by comparison, but it’s still lower density than a standard European capital.
In my experience, fixing ground ops would be the biggest boon to efficiency and customer satisfaction. My experience these days from doing a lot of domestic flying in the U.S. is that lack of ground coordination (takeoff queues, gate availability, randomly sitting on the tarmac for an hour) cost a lot of money and time. If the state of planes in the sky can actively be used to optimize ground ops at airports, I think that'd help consumers and reduce some costs. Other than that, I think consumers could forgive the padding in flight times. If I take off 20 minutes late and still arrive 10 minutes early, I'm happy, so the psychology continues to work.
No, it's not nonsense at all. GraphBLAS does rely on semirings on sparse matrices, so it does use linear matrix algebra. But it doesn't use or compute a kernel explicitly.

A kernel is a vector x so that Ax = 0. There are places where y<m> = Ax = 0 is useful to compute (m is a mask, like a bulk-if statement, where y(i) is modified only if m(i)=1). If x is a set of nodes then A'x is the set union of the neighbors of x (assuming A(i,j) is the edge (i,j), which is typical but not required). Then if x has no neighbors in the set m, then y = 0. I use this in the GraphBLAS implementation of Luby's independent set algorithm (in my Demo/ folder of SuiteSparse/GraphBLAS).

There are lots of connections between linear algebra and graph theory. In this case, the idea of a kernel does find its place in a graph algorithm, but it's a special case. It's not something that appears everywhere in every graph algorithm.

Well to start saying everyone agrees on something is never right but it's also just that even if you know something needs to be done doesn't mean you agree/support a) the tax increases that would be needed to fund projects X/Y/Z and b) are willing to be the person that has to have their neighborhood change (NIMBYish).

Supporting affordable and dense housing development somewhere in the city is easy but then someone has to either agree to have it be them that sells their house and moves or get forced to by the city to have THEIR neighborhood change.

I also think there's also skepticism that allowing them actually meaningfully changes the renting situation because each individual project generally has mostly very expensive 'luxury' apartments. And the answer that 'well we'll basically have to cover all but the richest areas in these multistory dense apartment complexes to actually meaningfully impact the market' is understandably not satisfying to people who like the city they live in now.

Google Images is a partial example, but this happened a while ago. It appears what they do is use ML to classify what is in the image, and then show images that fit those categories. It is useless now for checking things like, did this logo designer you hired off Upwork/Fiverr/etc just steal someone else's design.

Aspiring science fiction authors, or Neal Stephenson, should write a novel about a world where ML tuned models optimize everything to be just good enough not to churn customers while maximizing margins. (Also applicable to non-profit items like politicians and universities)

>> An aging population and a declining birthrate among the native-born population mean a shrinking work force in many areas.

So the solution is to import fresh meat? Immigration(skills based) brings a lot of good things but to argue that we need immigrants due the natality problem is wrong. It doesn't fix the issue, it just delays it and along with it brings other issues.

I hate when politicians play this card, in Europe too. That's why they loose points and move people closer to far-right parties. If the natality is so low we should first ask ourselves why is that and fix it(i.e give more "family benefits", make the environment more friendly to families).

I see the "immigration solution" just as an insult: if you don't want to rise children under these shitty conditions we will find/import people who want. Your issues don't matter to us.
The argument that Democrats are all the best people who always have a genuine interest for others and the environment has it beat.
> It is not financially sound.

"Financially unsound" is getting an insurance capped at a low number, especially with a low deductible. That means you are paying all the money to protect against a somewhat-but not-really costly medical event that probably won't occur. A serious medical bill will still wipe you out.

Of course shit won't hit the fan for the majority of people, that's how insurance works. It's not a flat-rate for services, it's a protection against catastrophic (but unlikely) events. That can happen to you at any age, however if you are young you also will get a discount on insurance.
Go look around. There are a lot of kids.

My point isn't about in comparison to other cities, it is more, does a smaller rate really mean "few" and how much of a problem is it really. It's not the problem that the most negative naysayers will claim. Note I didn't say something like "affordability poses no problems for families". Because it does. But there is indeed a vibrant community.
The standard library is surprisingly present to read and learn from, kinda like go. I really enjoy learning zig.
You could definitely include the out-of-pocket costs (and how they differ between high deductible plans vs. low deductible vs. single-payer), and you should, for a fair comparison. This is researched to death effectively at this point but the overwhelming consensus is that single-payer delivers 100% coverage at around the same cost to individuals as the employer-sponsored plans w/ the same healthcare quality / outcomes. If you went on to compare the time-costs for every person that has to navigate insurance company shenanigans, the savings would be off the charts.

I wish the same energy currently being wasted on anti-vaxx was instead spent on the pollutants in our food, air, water and soil.

These pollutants are unavoidable and have a clinically proven negative impact on people, particularly children. DEHP in food containers and household products is very worrying.

'Mom anger' combined with Scientific validity could produce some great improvements.

Maybe the solution to the anti-vaxx issue is not to dismiss the rage, but to harness it and direct it to a worthy cause?
I would favor requiring a serious third party code review and certification of all infrastructure systems. I am fairly certain that most (Cisco included) would be "savaged" by a serious review.

Even worse -- Since State and Local income taxes are (partially) deductible on your Federal taxes -- you need to implement those rules no matter if you plan on filing State and Local returns.

edit

Actually now that I think about it, since the standard deduction is increased, you could catch the majority of simple returns by just assuming the standard deduction and including a few disclaimers about the option to itemize.
In the US those estimates can often be wrong.
NPR's Planet Money just re-ran an episode[1] related to this. In 2005, California ran a pilot program where they sent simple, pre-filled tax forms[2] to a sample of the population. 98% of people liked them and would use them again. In 2006 it would have become standard for California, but failed in the legislature by a single vote. Opposition was from two factions: lobbying by Intuit, and Grover Norquist claiming that it violated a pledge for no new taxes. Fascinating stuff.

Later, California's Franchise Tax Board, went ahead and made it an option anyway, but hardly anyone knew about it. It was since been superseded by California's free online option: CalFile[3]. Of course, it's not that helpful if you have to go through the whole federal process anyway. But it serves as an example that it could work fine here in the states like the rest of the world if Congress would be willing to go for it instead of bowing to Intuit and Grover Norquist.
