I work as a PM for Lang.ai. We develop unsupervised NLP technology that helps companies understand (by clustering topics and tags) thousands of texts from virtually any language without the need of a training phase. This is currently helping -from call centers to chatbots- to discover the new things that people is talking about and learning about it automatically.

As @anthony_doan mentioned, this is something that is actively being used by consumers and companies.
No, I identified two specific reasons why it's not the same: 1) in the US at least, copyright infringement is only criminal if done for financial gain (or a few other exceptions) 2) in all jurisdictions with the Berne definition of copyright, the copyright of a photo is owned by a photographer. So even if it's you, you don't have the rights to it if you didn't take the picture, and you can't pursue a copyright violation. So if your ex took a picture of you with your consent at the time, and is now spreading it on the internet, he has every right to do that, according to copyright.

Your solution doesn't solve these problems. If you want to solve these problems, you can't use copyright.
They didn’t produce that story. It came from emails in the Podesta dump. Several of them were about “pizza” and other food items and they were very, very strange. They did not seem to be talking about food. In one of those there was a reference to different color handkerchiefs and one with a map on it. It appeared to be some sort of code speak because no one normal uses the English language the way those emails do. From there, some internet detective produced an alleged list of pedophile code words that included colors and foods and there was some overlap with some of the strangest emails in the dump. Then, someone alleged a link with a famous DC pizza joint.

I've definitely been there and I think it only would have sucked had I believed my income would never rise.

Which to the greater point - what should the lifestyle expectation be on entry level jobs?
Most university students are 18 or older, so legally adults. The university may have some culpability, but that’s even more reason for courts to investigate, not the university. I almost see it as obstruction of justice if not turned over to courts.

Imagine if Google has a sexual assault review process that didn’t involve handing evidence over to police. That would be pretty bizarre and anti-victim justice.
Not necessarily equally - they certainly can assign some members a larger share than others.
What I don’t get is why everyone gives a pass to companies which censor in a way that conforms to the norms of western society.

How much hardcore pornography is available on any of these stores? None! How many of you are up in arms about this? Same answer!

I don’t mean to defend Chinese censorship here. But I am always amazed at how completely blind people are to the pervasive censorship in many other countries.
I disagree. Throughout most of human history families have been able to own their own home. If someone was unable to own their own home they were free to establish a homestead on some unclaimed land. I conclude that the ability to own your own home is part of the social contract.

I realize that in many cases the land was technically owned by the gentry but I am talking about the day to day reality.
> TOML resolves a lot of these issues

The only complaint is that the name TOML isn't as cool as other formats.
What I'd really like to see is "date this extension was last updated", and ideally a full changelog. If I see 2 extensions that claim to do the same thing, with similar star ratings, where one isn't being maintained anymore but the other is, there's no way to tell from the extension browser that one of them is still under active development and the other isn't. Download counts are nice but they're also totals, they don't tell me about recent activity, so e.g. if one is an old extension and one is a new extension, the old extension is going to have a higher download count regardless of the relative quality of the two extensions. So "date this extension was last updated" as well as a "recent download count" would go a long way toward making the extension browser easier to use.
What is “gymming” in this context?
> human populations that experience severe trauma have problems even generations later

I'm very curious how they found a control group for this. Generations, plural, encompasses, among other things, both world wars, and their aftermaths.
If you were a consultant to the British East India Company in 1850 and told them that the world would be a better place for everyone if India were independent and not colonized by Britain, would you expect to convince them?

If you failed to convince them, would you then conclude that colonization is actually totally fine?

In particular, if someone were advocating for the independence of India in 1850, would you think the British East India Company could justifiably say "You're harming us"? (Sure, they can say it and they probably would say it, but would they have a point?)
It's called a buyers agent and they are quite common in real estate.
It's hard to say that this is problematic. Canada's largest chain of coffee shops (Tim Hortons) is owned by a Brazilian company -- is that colonization? Saks Fifth Avenue, on the other hand, is Canadian -- is that? The Mandarin Oriental is owned by Jardine Maethson, headquartered in Hong Kong, but incorporated in Bermuda, with a long history trading opium in the South China Sea area -- is that exploitation today?

That's just three random examples. Foreign investment allows companies to grow and succeed. I think there's sensitivity in this area due to past history though I don't think it's fair in this case. Owning a foreign company isn't 'exploitative.'
About 9% of Lebanon's parliament is the political party Hezbollah. They have a satellite TV station, Al-Manar. Americans hooking up satellite dishes to be able to watch it have been jailed, like Javed Iqbal.

As far as what the specific question is - what has Apple tried to publish that the US tried to publish, the answer is the same with regards to any of the PRC's giant domestic corporations vis a vis China. None of them tried to publish things blocked by their governments.

It's an odd thing to say amidst Assange's extradition, to bipartisan celebration. Of course they will get him for some technicality, as opposed to the attack on WikiLeaks - China is just less hypocritical about such things.
Given that TVs were one of the tracking devices in his 1984 I'm not sure he would be entirely surprised.
That’s an absurd level of luxury that people have become accommodated to. To the nearest percentage point, 0% of people in human history have grown up with the expectation of an entire dwelling as their personal domain. It’s wasteful and absurd. Resources like showers which are used 15 minutes a day should not sit idly all day waiting for a single person.
Universities frequently have their own police, so often these are reported to the police, but they are campus police (still sworn peace officers, not rent-a-cops).

You would think that campus police would be better trained to investigate crimes that are common on campus.
Try it on a tablet; it supports multitouch.
Definitely agree. Like others have commented here, you should be trying to minimize your return as much as possible.

The point of the article was that people are waiting for their large refunds and are deferring health care until they get those refunds. My point is that many of those people won't actually be getting a return and won't be able to afford the health care that they need.
I don't care if it has "won" in a few places, I'll be using TOML and mindshare can change who has "won" later.
A good view on the involvement of myth in the Enlightenment and the Enlightenment's unconscious project to simply replace the form of myth with thinking disguised as scientific, I'd recommend Horkheimer and Adorno's The Dialectic of Enlightenment[0].

[0] The book was re-published as late as 1965. Here's a summary before you read: https://frankfurtschool.wordpress.com/2008/02/28/summary-dia...
That looked bad. It kept inside the lane right up to the moment when it hit the barrier and the way it stayed perfectly in the center of the lane really makes it look like it was on autopilot.

(By the way, the driver with the dashcam is driving terribly.)
The problem with comments: suppose I build a config UI to edit the configuration file using fill-in-forms. How do I display the comments in this UI? I can't display classic line or block comments easily, because it isn't always clear which setting the comment is attached to.

The author says something like "__comment" is ugly for humans editing the file. Sure, it is. But it works much better if the file is also going to be edited by a UI. (Although "__comment" can comment the object but not an individual key; something like "name#comment" being comment on "name" key and "version#comment" being comment on the "version" key could permit separate comments on each key.)

I actually am encountering a similar problem at work right now. We have a complex XML config file. Some people edit it via an XML editor, others edit it using a fill-in-form UI. With the fill-in-form UI, we'd like to display (and permit editing of) the XML comments, but it isn't always possible to work out programatically which XML element(s) the comment is talking about.

Compare:

<!-- The following setting is blah blah blah -->
<foo-setting>32</foo-setting>
<bar-setting>64</bar-setting>

with:

<!-- Email Configuration Section -->
<mail-host>mail.example.com</mail-host>
<mail-port>25</mail-port>

In the first example, the comment belongs the immediate subsequent XML element only. In the second example, it belongs to both of the following elements. There is no reliable way to distinguish these cases, unless you try to interpret the natural language text of the comment itself (which can't be done with perfect reliability).
An "African company" does not necessarily mean a company registered in Africa or owned by Africans.

When us Africans refer to something as African, it can mean several things. Allow me to call it a FUBU approach. That means "For Us, By Us". It can also mean "For Us or By Us"

This means the entity does not necessarily have to be of African origin, it can just be a result of its focus on Africa. Jumia operates exclusively in Africa, and by virtue of that and our Ubuntu mentality, it is for all intents and purposes, one of us. Though not officially.

When Africans supported the French soccer team last year at the World Cup as "our African team", do you really think Africans are not aware that France is not in Africa and was not representing Africa either. It's just a social construct that gives us something to cheer about, historically we haven't had much.

The same FUBU mentality is also why a lot of Africans considered non-Africans "African heroes". Where I come from, Fidel Castro is an African hero for educating our doctors for free and sending doctors of their own. It's not because he is African. It is simply because of FUBU and Ubuntu.
It is interesting that Apple will take such a strong stance on privacy (Apple vs. the FBI, for example), but they simply won't make a stand on censorship.

In fact I'd argue that censorship is part of their DNA. They've always removed controversial apps from the app store [1][2], they've always deleted forum threads that they don't like [3], and they're taking a very heavy handed approach to their new TV service [4]. And, of course, they've never really pushed back against China's demands. I admire their stance on privacy but they don't seem to have any issue with censorship.

What would you prefer?

* Apple censors a song to comply with Chinese laws, so you can't hear that song

* Apple doesn't censor the song, China blocks Apple Music, so you can't hear that song

Either way, you can't hear that song. Apple has to follow the laws of the countries they do business in, and in China, that unfortunately sometimes means censorship. This way people in China still have access to the rest of Apple Music.
Yes, though I tend to then go and use those languages for small suitable tasks pretty often.

I think he's being a little sarcastic.

But negative population growth can lead to deflationary systems, and economists are very afraid of those.

In short: if you think you're going to have less customers, you don't invest or hire, and you might layoff, causing further negative data and sentiment, causing further downward pressure on economic activity. 'Death Spiral'. [1]

This is also partly why we keep inflation at 2% target, and not 0%.

It worked before, they broke it, and as usual the response is an egregious "fuck you" and a queue of apologists castigating the aggrieved that they were Doing It Wrong All Those Years And They Must In Future Conform To Only The Approved Way.

Right, lending money without interest is pretty common within families and trusted friendships. But obviously the amount of credit available loan free from friends or family is going to be significantly less than what a financial institution would give you.
Which brokerage is this?
I think this problem is best solved by requiring that the state make amends for arrests which turn out to be incorrect. You lose your job? State funds two months of severance (more if there’s an economic downturn and it’s harder to find a job). Evicted? State provides relocation assistance. Etc. this would also probably be a great disincentive for false arrests. Of course there could be unintended consequences, including the state putting more effort to make square pegs fit in round holes.
No. For the next several decades, the rate of people aging out of the workforce will be much faster than the rate of people dying, but they will still need food, healthcare, etc.

In effect, Japan's population pyramid has inverted: the dependency ratio of workers to elderly, which was historically under 20%, is currently around 50% and is projected to increase to ~90% by 2050.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. This BUGS the s out of me and I have to tell all my remote developers to do that. The worst is when they are in a different time zone and say “I have a question” and wait for me to respond before they ask it. VERY FRUSTRATING.
You make it sound like the business isn't run by humans. Do you consider price gouging sick people and ethical business to get into? If not, please make that a bit more clear in your comment.
Shows how people just want to stand out from the average with elitism without decent back up facts.

Surely a computer can do that in sub-second time? As soon as it sees the signature of a well known advert start blocking.

Then again, what about clips from the show that you're watching, it might start blocking part of the show as it thinks it's an advert.
I mostly agree with the article but for the reason that I did not see clearly reflected in it. I think knowledge of multiple languages (and technologies in general) is important not from a perspective of trying to be an expert in many things (which I think in general is counterproductive) but because it helps one to be better (and, arguably, much better) within their domain.

Few examples to illustrate my point:

- Having some experience with strongly typed language makes Python developer a better and safer programmer. Compare with Python developer who is not even aware of the weak vs. strong typing issues and all the related gotchas. Well worth the investment.

- Having seen the ease-of-use and power of some data structures (e.g. Python dicts) not natively available in C may suggest to C developer to look for libraries that implement something similar. 10 minutes playing with Python may end up saving countless man-days on a large C project.

- Having even minimal experience with NOSQL DB may suggest to a DB admin that handling unstructured data on their Oracle cluster may not the best way to go.

- Having seen FPGA latencies may suggest to a Java developer not to bother with the software that will be competing on latency.

The list is endless. I guess my main point is: even approximately knowing what's out there helps you make much better decisions, where decisions may be anything from picking the right approach in your area of expertise, or picking up a different tool if you need to, or telling your boss to hire the right person, or even not starting on the task due to lack of right expertise.
No need to go into conspiracy theories: a lot of places are simply deficient when it comes to respecting the rule of law every day. This is particularly true in South America, where de-facto dictatorships are still common.

This is simply the new Ecuadorian strongman doing a favour to his NorthAmerican friends. It changes nothing in how the Ecuadorean justice system works (or doesn't work).
What’s interesting is that people like yourself think the world is the same everywhere.

China has a different culture and different laws that we do not control.

Companies have two choices: play by the rules or don’t play at all.
The US legal system allows Apple to push back on the FBI. China, in contrast, does not have strong rule of law... it's rule of the Communist Party.

Edit: and the CCP would be happy to kick out Apple and see their marketshare go to Hauwei or another Chinese company. Apple really has no leverage.
> You only want open-source? Great. Quit your job and prove me wrong that your can get an income there.

Um, can't you also work at Red Hat or Mozilla or somewhere? Or even USDS or NASA? (Remember, OpenStack came out of a joint project between NASA and a for-profit company, and plenty of people in both organizations were paid to work on open-source full-time to make it happen....)
Openflights is one of my very favorite websites. Thank you!

Does it matter who? They charge you because they can, America decided your survival (AKA health) is just another business an you can be charged as much as you are willing to pay for it; and those companies -with the help of cultural baggage- have convinced a significant chunk of the population that this shady business is part of the "freedoms" you have as American, because controlling the prices would be "communism" or "socialism", words we all were taught to associate with evilness and enemies.
You'd have to convince Apple's shareholders and board.
Tempting because playing with Raspberry Pis is always quite fun. I'm not sure why - I can spend an hour doing something on a Pi that would make me groan to bother with otherwise.

But a question for anyone who's done this Presumably most of the computing devices in your home make their way onto other networks from time to time. So you need a per-device solution to the ad infestation in any case. What's the point of adding a house-wide one?

This is the consideration that's stopped me doing this so far - the adblocker I currently use is going to have to remain in place regardless, so what would a Pi Hole add (other than a pleasurable hour or so toying around)?

[Edit: I don't have a smart tv, google home or similar net-connected but unhackable device]
Another shameless plug. My company's product extracts conversations from Slack to automatically generate polished FAQs for the purpose of answering repeat questions. We also use this to give teams visibility into how much time is being spent responding and what types of questions they're getting.

That was literally maybe for the first year or two. Since 2013 or so that's definitely NOT been the case.
Lucky your parsers have been behaving as you expect when the format isn't even standardized. You can keep building "cool" stuff with a bit more solid format as well.
TiVo does this in many cases if you turn on the parental controls. It will hide the commercials if it isn’t sure what the rating is. On recorded shows it also has a skip commercials function on most of them as well.

By far the best way to watch TV these days IMO.
> Canada's largest chain of coffee shops (Tim Hortons) is owned by a Brazilian company.

You are comparing apples and oranges. In many cases larger countries are able to conduct fair trade agreements. In the case of smaller countries they usually don't have the resources (military/political influence) to enact fair agreements and are "ripped off" by companies offering jobs.
I agree, although I think it’s more easy to correct for this bias to generalize to all of SO than to all programmers.
Apple is especially complicit when they sell devices locked to their app store. They built this machinery of censorship; when states make Apple use it on their behalf, it's a predictable development.

Apple can still decide to sell devices that aren't so locked. It'd be a great answer to this criticism.

Their stance on privacy could easily be a false front - who would know if they secretly leaked infos to any three letter agency and PRC?

Their stance on censorship is impossible to hide, and should inform your opinion of them more strongly...
It's not about who can't do without whom. It's about who creates most of the value that is ultimately delivered to the consumer. No matter how you slice it, no scheme in which the intermediaries make orders of magnitude more than the producers is fair, and especially so when intermediaries can do this because they are operating from a position of power.

(Unless you adopt a radically unconventional definition of "fair", such as "whatever a laissez-faire market produces is fair by definition".)
Allegedly then. It doesn't change the nature of the charges.

And who cares what prominent people think ? They aren't the ones who will be judging whether Assange committed a crime or not. Lots of prominent people have defended guilty people before.
