Nothing stops someone from waiting till they hit a pian point before refactoring during OOP. It's how I work.

But then again I mostly use Python and JavaScript which are multi paradigm so perhaps my mental model had evolved because of that.
This is what I suspect as well and seems like the most obvious reason.
The article isn't about politics, and controversial topics are not out of bounds. If you don't like an article, you have the option to ignore it, or even better, contribute your perspective to the conversation. The flag button isn't there to suppress any and all discussion of a topic that you don't personally care for.
Such is the life of analogies.
“Being Mortal” by Atul Gawande goes in-depth on this broad topic, highly recommended.
A representative, usually a regional customer service executive or analogous. They'll often try to deal out first (it may be small claims court's policy to try mediation first).
Do these attacks require fine control over the input? Eg. if you are scanning a patient’s body, does it matter if the model can be fooled by editing the values of individual pixels? This implies that you have a threat model where the data coming from the sensor is being manipulated, in which case all bets are off (the image could be entirely replaced). It doesn’t seem much different from a statistical model that you can blow up by feeding in values designed to cause a divide by zero (values that wouldn’t appear in real-world data).

It seems like a problem when classifying user-provided images (eg. identifying obscene images on a social network) but not so relevant when you own the sensors.
You can have both.

>we can now all listen to the very best musicians in the world — where previously we just had to settle for whoever was the best in our town

Yeah, so billions the world over progressed from their local musicians and folk tradition to Kanye West, Coldplay, Taylor Swift, and Nicky Minaj.
THIS. No one else has seem to have even brought up, as just a potential idea, a time delay only for the public stream but allow pre-confirmed friends to view the stream live. Or instead of pre-confirmed friends, people who were invited and responded to a Facebook event. Or something.

That would solve the birthday use case while inhibiting the virality.

That's not necessarily good! Maybe the ability to live-streaming police brutality or vote stuffing or whatever, in a way that could go viral, is an important public good. But no one seems to have brought that up, either.
I love visiting Japan, where everyone is super aware and would never do this. It’s amazing the difference in cultures.
Yes, the claim is sensational but not entirely without merit.

Zuckerberg has written that, “live videos often lead to discussion among viewers on Facebook—in fact, live videos on average get six times as many interactions as regular videos.” [0]. Live streams are far more valuable to Facebook due to the more "meaningful" interactions they generate. When coupled with their ability to identify and target quite specific demographics (see 'detailed targeting' [1],[2] ), they absolutely have the power to better target any AI and human moderators. If they were to couple this with a built-in live-stream delay (allowing say for some level of video content analysis prior to display) then I contend they could score 'harmful' material reasonably accurately - perhaps accurately enough to pipe into a queue for human vetting before publication (of course, unless they try, we'll never know for sure, so arguments on this are kind of moot). However, each of these elements come at a cost to FB's business model. MZ has already spoken out against delays in live streaming.

Also, your rebuttal is disingenuous. The claim that they "have no clue what kind of stuff gets posted on their platform", doesn't jibe with their self-described abilities (as pitched to their advertiser customers as "detailed targetting"). I agree that they can't identify with 100% accuracy, but that's not required. If they can get the accuracy high enough that a higher-scrutiny vetting process can be imposed (wether AI or human), then that's sufficient. As for the claim their AI "isn't powerful enough to detect it", can you provide anything to back up that statement?

The real question is: are Facebook and the other social-media and tech content publishers responsible for the content they publish (irrespective of where it's sourced)? My belief is 'yes'. When someone posts on Facebook they are not pubhlishing. They are contributing. Facebook are publishing. Hence, Facebook should be held to the same standards as other publishers.

Arguments that "censoring Facebook means the end of free discourse", are pretty weak when there are still many alternatives (e.g. Mastodon and others) that are more user-centric and resistant to both censorship and abuse (through higher rates of group-local self-moderation).

People have a right to free speech. They don't have a right to impose speech on others. They don't have a right to voilate other's freedoms (as hate speech and trolling often does).
Similarlly, companies don't have a right to operate without any kind of regulation at all. Regulation exists to ensure a balance between the good of the market and the good of the commons.

This isn't because anyone in the company necessarily cares, it's to ensure they've taken appropriate measures to demonstrate that you've received the training. Then when an employee breaks the law, e.g. sexual harassment, then the company avoids liability. I'm sure there are companies where what you say is true, but it is certainly not the norm in most U.S. firms.
> we can now all listen to the very best musicians in the world
This is a really great interview.
You should look up MOND. However, it seems to have a hard time explaining all phenomena we see.
Bitcoin's success is measured by many other factors by actual Bitcoin lovers. The most important thing being how many real world transactions you could do using Bitcoin.

But such data will not be of interest to the rest of the world. It is the media that is obsessed with how Dollar performs against Bitcoin.
Discussions like this drive me crazy. It's not hard to see what it is about society that's making so many people not have sex, and it's not, like, some subtle market effect involving their attractiveness. No matter how much you want find a market effect, it's due to _human stuff_, like people's actual lives and problems, not their behavior in some sex economy. There is nothing even close to an economy around sex. There's just the real world.

(This kind of) economics is valuable when it can tease out and explain underlying trends that you can't figure out from just looking at the world. But in this case, the only thing you'll be missing if you proceed by intuition is, like, numbers on the size of the effect. If you want to solve the problems at a societal level, while numbers are useful for prioritization, maybe, you're going to be trying to solve the actual problems that you identify with your human analysis.

For instance living in this world provides me ample evidence to dismiss the line "It also won’t do to point to changes over this time period that effected all ages and genders similarly, such as obesity, porn, video games..." as laughable and clueless with, say, 99.99% confidence.
I hope nobody ever uses code blocks. They're unreadable on mobile.
It's genuinely depressing to think that a large number of guys now has no access to explore intimacy and partnership (or very little). No one's owed sex of course but it's like we're breaking aspects of society. And I think you'd naturally find women are less able to find meaning themselves here so it's not just a men's pity party.

I wonder, if this is a dating app phenomenon, if there's anything that can be done thats healthier for our society. Banning the apps isn't the right way, but is there some means of adding balance?
Sounds like a great argument for Medicare for All, the NHS, or other nationalized systems.

I've been helping a friend update their rental listings online this week (airbnb, homeaway, etc), and after seeing this issue come up, I told him I would specify that there were no cameras in the house. His response "that make's it sound like I have camera's in the house", but I convinced him honesty was a better policy in this regard.

But when we weren't updating the listing, we were installing all kinds of smart home crap. There might not be any camera's, but every room has a google hub / speaker, a thermostat sensor (which looks suspiciously like a camera, particularly after reading this article) & wifi switches.

I don't see a need for any of this stuff. The barely find the 'problems' it solves inconvenient. And when balanced against the privacy implications, I have no interest in a smart home.

But I'm realising now that's going to make many Airbnb's unsuitable. Adding the hidden camera element... it just becomes impossible. If you really care about this issue, are you going to book an airbnb, then unplug every smart device, check for camera's, disable them somehow, and then re-connect everything when you leave?

That looks amazing... will be interesting to see if it actually releases though.
I've been reading Ars for many years now and I just wanted to say that the clarity this specific article displays in explaining astronomical concepts to a layperson is really impressive and appreciated. Sometimes I get lost in these types of write-ups, but you gave readers the state of the field and why this study - which simply provides evidence that helps likely nix one potential explanation - truly was important in that context. It was all just so digestible and satisfying.
The boards I used to frequent (about computer hardware & video-games, though both had a very active "off-topic/chat" section) had pretty good moderation coverage. It was indeed reactive, however the moderators were active members of the community and as a side-effect they were bound to see every post within 24 hours, but usually much sooner. New users were also restricted in what they could do so the potential for damage was limited even if moderators weren't active.

I don't have a problem with moderation being delayed. I have a problem with there being no moderation or clueless moderation (I have reported hundreds of obviously fake accounts or pages promoting outright illegal activity, and the majority of those got ignored).

Of course, the scale was much smaller than Facebook, but my point is that maybe if you can't solve this problem then you shouldn't be in a position to broadcast & promote stuff to the entire world? The danger of Facebook (& other social networks) isn't in your friends seeing your malicious post, it's that your malicious post can go "viral" and be put in front of people who haven't asked for anything since the ranking algorithm is based on stuff like "likes", shares, etc (and a lot of garbage content tends to attract likes unfortunately) which can also be manipulated by a determined attacker (using fake/compromised accounts to "like" the post, etc).

Sorry for being out of context, but why is your name in green? This is the first time I have seen a green name in HN.
Yes climate change is political, but would the comment section to a climate change article on this site be full of the types of comments we see in here? Would it be an actually divisive topic for the users of this site?

What I love about Hacker News (usually) is the lack of flame-wars. I know they exist, but they get hidden very quickly. After reading the article in full, and finding it sparse in actual data, I decided it would most likely generate the sort of discussion that does not belong on the site.

Edit to add: If it is merely the "population dynamics and sexual activity statistics" that we should be interested in, why not link directly to the study instead of this meandering commentary on it?

It also discourages downsizing. If you're old and retired, and want to move into a house that's a bit smaller now that your kids have moved out, maybe you can't afford to because it would mean paying more in rent than you do currently. This can exacerbate (or cause) shortages.
Where do you draw the line. If I throw up an open internet forum, am I responsible for administering everything that gets sent on it? If the Christchurch shooter had set up their own live-streaming box, who would we be getting mad at? Do you need a licence to broadcast on the internet now?? Every day we get further and gurther from a free internet, and its incredibly sad to see people on HN supporting this foolish sentiment.
Cloud services aren’t the only way to run a server. They could just set up servers in a collocation facility and pay for bandwidth by the Mb/s.
> Don’t you think they would, for example, be able to prioritize content based on reputation/hidden metrics?

What you're proposing is discrimination and isn't a solution.

> Don’t you think, for example, that a fair amount of videos categories can be auto filtered with extremely high accuracy?

No, not really, but please provide some examples. I'm assuming you mean content category, not literal tagged category, in which case you can't really distinguish between someone livestreaming in their car vs. the Christchurch shooter driving up to the mosque.

> Don’t you think, for example, that if they had enough content moderators they would have been able to stop the stream and to take down this video faster?

Sure, but they already have many thousands of moderators in addition to automated systems in place today. It's inevitable that unless every post is hand-reviewed by a human that some objectionable content will slip through.

I get that your point is that FB and the other big tech companies can certainly afford to be doing more than they currently are, but to the extent that we would almost certainly be in this exact same position even if they had hired your proposed 50,000 moderators there's not much substance to your proposal that I can even reduce.
Thx for your opinion. What about automatic ARM-Thumb swap on jump instructions? I tried Radare 2 before and it was so hard to work with ARM firmware. If Ghidra supports a proper ARM-Thumb switch, it sounds like a greate alternative to IDA for me.
I have friends who spend almost all their free time playing video games. I ask them why don’t they want to occasionally go out, meet a girl, whatever, they’re content playing video games all the time at home, plus they like that it doesn’t cost them nearly as much money as going out. It’s a little sad to me but if that’s what they want to do it’s their lives. Video games have gotten very addictive -this may be a contributing factor.
How on earth is programming not competitive? Coming up with the wrong data model can result in millions of dollars in technical debt, a failure to fully realize a product, or certainly allow a competitor to win out. Bad programmers can structure a product so poorly that it is simply unpleasant to work on, and you won't be able to hire or retain engineers.

I think moreso than most careers, a single software engineer is capable of a tremendous amount of good or harm.
I didn't say it was always true, I said it was almost certainly true. I stand by that.

Untrained amateurs are right from time to time, but given that they have almost no basis for their assumptions except gut feelings, it basically comes down to chance.

I'm not arguing that scientists can't be wrong, certainly not. I'm arguing that believing they are, or even believing you have a valid criticism, without understanding on what they base their arguments, because "it sounds reasonable" or "scientists are sheep" is deeply intellectually dishonest.
SAMBA 4 AD is a valid alternative if your requirements are relatively simple. You still need a third party product (or build one) to provide a web interface if you need that.
You are referring to the electron charge, not diameter which cannot be measured.

Certainly there is bias in physics but I don't recall any occasion where amateurs where correct and experts not (in fundamental physics, that is). This may occur in fringe fields but is highly unlikely in fundamental stuff.

This. I was in an extreme situation like you were (boss abusive with everyone in the company, constant threats and sometimes physical abuse).

- First, see if you can find other employees in the same situation. Being a group helped us.
- Document everything. Commit on git first thing in the morning, and before leaving. Write down every conversation you had right after you had them—we tend to forget very quickly. Dump your calendar and emails regularly. You can find scripts to dump Slack too. If your boss has written anything abusive them, it is also a good idea to take screenshots.
- I guess moving is not an option for your family? Otherwise start looking in other markets.
- Freelancing is a good option otherwise. I know it sucks to do this on top of your job, but you only to save enough to get yourself out of this.

Once you’re out, and only when you’re out, find a good lawyer. Do not hesitate to sue. It’s not greed, it’s reparation for the abuse. You deserve it.

Good luck to you.
Waterworld ?
I’d guess HD porn + addictive video games + ubereats plays a nontrivial role in keeping young men from leaving the house, and also keeping them out of shape, making it more difficult to find a partner even if they wanted to.
Lol that 3rd graph , it’s so sad !
I spent my first 4 years after the university at a company with very little quality control. We had to talk the bosses into having code reviews. When we began having code reviews my older colleagues never complained about anything - everything went through.

That truly was quantity over quality. Oftentimes I had to wade through piece-of-shit code that really made my soul hurt. Really. Bad.

But in hindsight that was good. It's good to have spent 4 years ONLY writing code 8 hours straight 5 days a week.

But I never, ever, want to go back to anything like that.
Without a sense of companionship I think is more important. You can always wank it and get laid infrequently and people are kinda ok with it. But having someone to love you? To grow with? That's something everyone needs a lot of to have a healthy and functional society.
That’s exactly the theory developed by circles like the red pill. More access to potential partners with less social control lead to a winner take all situation. In addition, and it is addressed in the OP, women try to get partners which are higher on the social scale while men mostly focus on beauty.
The article doesn't seem to say it rules out black holes or dark matter, at least as I understand it. It just rules out primordial black hole.

Am I reading it wrong? Or why is the title so misleadingly?
It isn't - if they were not providing a broadcast platform. The local bank branch broadcasts nada, if they do somehow broadcast your financial info they can be prosecuted for failing their duty of care, and you'll be eligible for compensation even without prosecution.

Youtube, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit have size and reach enough that turning a blind eye is no longer credible. We've seen countless issues crop up with regard to elections, election advertising, hate speech, and in this case broadcasting a slaughter. All of which serve to demonstrate they are unwilling to self-regulate taking them into territory where it's clear current regulation is not adequate.

Calling for adequate regulation to require moderation and oversight, and to require a duty of care to their users, viewers and listeners is not calling for them to be closed down. That comes if they prove unwilling to obey said regulation, as does any of the other measures brought to bear against habitual law breakers - fines, asset seizure, blocking etc. Regulation that will vary between different countries as they will choose differing limits.
Is there a guide you'd recommend for filing a patent? I have an idea that I'd like to patent. I genuinely think its very novel and my goal is to use it in my work and license it to others.
Enforced communal participation in events — similar to having to file your taxes , you just participate in X number of community events in a X km region from your residence — would help people get off the screens and get outside in a context other than work.

Similar to how In high school you need 40 hrs of community service to graduate

Edit: ok not ‘enforced’ but there should be some sort of government incentive

> This just tells me you're looking for conspiracy and distrust.

Industry funded research, for all industries, is inherently unreliable because they get to choose whether to publish it after they've seen the results. This is not a conspiracy, it's just what actually happens. They're generally not going to publish a finding that hurts their business or exposes them to litigation.

And then you're here: https://xkcd.com/882/

> You look at cancer rates over time (we have that data). You also look to see if there are correlations with growth in areas where cell phone usage increased faster than in areas that were slow to adopt (this even happens in America, and we have this data). For example, New York more quickly adopted cell phones (and other radio technology) than Montana.

At which point you're back to different lifestyles and many confounders.

Worse, availability of mobile phones affects human behavior directly, so you have to somehow account for the consequences of those behavioral changes that directly correlate with mobile usage.

Also this: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...

Doing this properly is hard. So hard that people generally screw it up at least a little bit. Then we get studies showing both positive and negative results, but they're all flawed in at least minor ways so everybody gets to point to the flaws in the studies whose result they didn't like.

See also: Replication crisis.

In practice the result is that we don't actually know the answer, so the question is what we should do when we're not sure.
Has anyone tried thermal pads instead? What was the result compared to paste ?

Nope. FB gets billions for ads. They can't just shrug and say "we're just providing the platform".
Isn't this letting Facebook and Comcast have their cake and eat it, too? Giving them full authority to censor whatever they want, but still not holding them liable for what they host?
Not the OP, but one important bit for the kid is to have stable set of rules. If there're multiple individuals with different parenting styles, kid gets confused and don't know who to look up to and what rules to follow.

That needs good coordination even in mom-dad situation. And gets more and more complicated if more people are involved.

More specifically for polyamorous, it seems to keep much harder a stable, jealousy-free, neutral relationship. Even in mom-dad, kids tend to pick favourite parent or parent picks a favourite kid and that creates all sorts of issues. This would definitely add much more tension with multiple "moms" and "dads" around.
