Sweden _can_ send extradition requests; they're just for 'questioning', not 'arrest'. The bail he skipped out on was for a Swedish extradition request.
Ok, so now I'm not just patronizing, I'm lazy and self serving.

Trying to understand your post, the best I could make out, is that 'I shouldn't use these experiments as a justification to not spread my own good ideas or spread the good ideas of other people... or 'you in the general sense' to mean other people spreading other peoples ideas'.

Is this correct? Like, is this the basis for your rebuttal? If not, what is? I'm trying to un package your point, which seems muddled.

BTW, you didn't imply, you said it directly:

> your brilliant ideas

> didn't mean to imply the ideas are specifically yours

That type of conversation reminds me of a narcissist boss I had. Whenever he was in the wrong, he couldn't admit he was wrong. So when in such a position (we all are there sometimes), he would explain that 'he never meant to imply what he said, he meant what everyone else was saying that was the contrary of what his words meant by a dictionary definition' It was a mind trip dealing with him and his mental gymnastics.
Point well taken, but that's underselling the problem by a lot. The American Psychological Association has a clear, strong code of ethics, but worked to help the CIA design torture programs. Not just 'psychologists' but the APA itself.

Codes of professional ethics seem to offer some defense against total indifference to malpractice and incompetence, as with civil engineering restrictions. People holding out for them to do more, especially around conscious decisions like political work, seem to seriously overestimate what they've achieved in the past.
Are there any recent examples of the costs of hosting an Olympics paying very clear dividends over time, such that the costs of hosting the event were definitely worthwhile for the hosting city?

It's worth noting that the EU, Russia and China all either have developed, or are developing, state of the art navigation systems of their own and thus there's no dependence on GPS as there once was and thus the utility of any export controls on it is limited at best.

In fact I'm hoping to get some time this weekend to make a PR implementing this! (I'm assuming the reason you/Donald Stufft haven't done so is time, rather than disagreement over whether this is a good solution or some unseen obstacle to implementing it.)
To be fair to the OP I don’t think they were invoking the end of the shogunate but rather that because it had ended within memory of the defeat to the allies, these vestiges were relevant and were (and continue) to be in the conscience of Japanese society.
What's more, same result can be achieved with practically every modern CI server with minor admin effort.
Honest questions:

1. Is there any compelling evidence that this incident is attributable to "free market economics"? It seems equally possible that it's attributable to notoriously poor incentive structures in government agencies. In my view it seems most likely that it's neither, in this particular case.

2. Is there evidence that there is a "recent trend towards rampant free market economics and libertarianism"? Again, this is an honest question; I've not seen a claim like this made before.

It's worth mentioning that the text you are responding to is the overview. The ACM offers greater detail that addresses your concerns: https://www.acm.org/code-of-ethics

> So no smart weapons which minimize collateral damage?

This section is concerned with indirect and unintentional harm. Weapons tend to be a problem for every ethical system. Here, my reading would be that weapons should work as intended.

> So no Sci-Hub? What about bad copyrights?

What is a bad copyright is not a question for the ACM code of ethics. You'll find a more detailed examination of intellectual property in the full code of ethics.

> What about whistleblowing?

An excellent question! I'll just quote from the discussion directly:

> Computing professionals are often entrusted with confidential information such as trade secrets, client data, nonpublic business strategies, financial information, research data, pre-publication scholarly articles, and patent applications. Computing professionals should protect confidentiality except in cases where it is evidence of the violation of law, of organizational regulations, or of the Code. In these cases, the nature or contents of that information should not be disclosed except to appropriate authorities. A computing professional should consider thoughtfully whether such disclosures are consistent with the Code.
Saying you don't see a problem is absolutely disgusting.

The Rikers cases are miscarriages of justice and the two famous cases led to changes in the law to prevent some future horrors.

This is getting silly. You're being disingenuous and I don't know why. Everything you said is true, and yet you know that isn't the entire story. You know that Taiwan is special. It isn't like other sovereign states as it has no UN representation and is not recognized by the vast majority of states and it is claimed by PRC as its dependent. The political status of Taiwan is complicated (to put it mildly). The status quo is somewhat tolerated by all parties, but I wouldn't bet that you'll have another 70 years of it. As China grows into a superpower, I doubt Taiwan will be able to maintain whatever independence it has now - but we'll see.

Your line of argument also doesn't actually address the original point, which is that China tolerates the independence of Hong Kong because it has its sights set on Taiwan - which is the real prize. From that perspective, it doesn't matter how Taiwan sees itself.

Actually no it doesn't referring to "agile nonsense" is a real red flag.

Real Agile RAD /DSDM really does work best with collocated teams and experienced developers not lowest bid outsourced talent.

I have worked on both RAD and OSI 9000 (BS5750) waterfall projects so I have experience in both types of development.

Oh my Second RAD project was featured at the IEEE and when I was younger I worked with the BSI in the early days of BS5750

Screenplay Software Adds Tool to Assess a Script’s Inclusiveness
As another anecdote, I was in one and do recommend it. Yes, the social isolation is a real thing and you have to work harder to meet other kids outside the program. However, I made lasting friendships with others in the program who remain my closest friends today. I think I covered more ground academically and it set me up well to take advanced classes in middle school. Note, this was in a well-funded public school and over 15 years ago so your mileage may vary.
> This feels like "I can't define agile, but I know it when I see it"...or just a wonderful example of the No True Scotsman fallacy.

Maybe so, but you are also describing Agile as if it can be anything a company wants it to be, which effectively makes Agile meaningless.

I've worked with clients that have a waterfall-like development process, "standups" that are both status-reporting to management and on the spot planning, adaption to change is very slow and cumbersome, velocity charts serving management more than the team itself, tickets that represent multiple stories at once, management adding tickets(i.e. more story points) without removing less important ones, gigantic release cycles, etc.

Is that still "Agile"?

Additionally, I want to emphasize that it's important to not write off a non-drinking friend simply because they don't seem to be opening up in the way you want. I find at least some drinkers seem to write me off in all social situations based only on those that involve drinking. If that's not the way to get to know someone, try another way. Also, if it really is about opening up and not drinking, tell that to your non-drinking friend!
Fan Theories: How Will Game of Thrones End?
In some ways, ms is more progressive than the goog at the moment. Office 365 is pretty good imho. Win 10 feels flakey though.
You're correct in that it is focused on making the user's brain feel good. I think a more accurate comparison, however, would be casino gambling. The slot machines ding at you and flash lights and make your brain release the dopamine. Facebook has the users on a similar bent via notification graphics and sounds, feeds, and various other things. It's the same idea though, and it is legitimately addictive (I've seen many family members get taken in by it to the point where they get anxiety if they can't constantly check their notifications or whatever).
What a disgraceful episode for our governments, the media, and the public who seem to have fallen hook, line and sinker for a blatantly orchestrated smear campaign. I don’t understand what the hell goes through people’s minds when they see such blatantly trumped up and unprovable charges levied against a big-time persona non grata of the CIA/Pentagon and decide to take them at face value. No matter that the US sprung their secret extradition request the second he left asylum. No matter that of course Sweden has no genuine interest in pursuing the original ‘case’. No matter that the US will cynically prepare more charges to apply once he’s on their soil. Apparently these sorts of dirty tricks are absolutely fine. Every step of the way we’ll have useful idiots lecturing us on the technicalities of the Swedish legal code.

The average Facebook user is largely unaware of how Facebook tracks their activity far beyond what they say and do on facebook.com in order to harvest data about their personal lives: their financial situation, their relationship status, their medical history, etc. Just because you can't download a file of someone's personal information "for indiscriminate pickings" doesn't mean they aren't selling access to it.

For example, someone might be gay and haven't yet told friends and family. Facebook probably knows from their browsing history. How difficult would it be for someone to run an ad on Facebook, cleverly disguised as an "article" to encourage clicks, targeting gay people in a particular region. Five minutes, tops? Well every gay person who clicks on that link has just given away their IP address and location information and the purchaser of that advertisement has a pretty accurate list of gay people and where they might be located. Hopefully they're using that list for benign purposes but who's to say?

Do you think the average Facebook user is aware of how their information is leaked by simply clicking on a link in a Facebook advertisement?

Demystifying Security Token Standards
it's about time this information goes mainstream
16 years ago I created a database for video game mods and led the market. Now I’m in the opposite position where services like Steam’s Workshop have taken over. Despite that my conviction that mods are critically important has never waivered, and alternatives / competition is required. So now I’m the upstart and it feels good to be building something I’m passionate about and believe in, despite the 200 ton gorilla in the room. We both serve slightly different roles, developers using our tech love what we are creating and I’m confident we can carve out a worthwhile piece of the pie.

Long story short I’m glad this is a rule I broke and didn’t let my inspiration evaporate.
I believe I covered that—authors who don’t contribute.

Also, I know too many angry grad students to believe that contributors always get credit.
I read the article and it seems like a fair summary. I mean they even added the onus to bring more games to Linux first and then we will get moving on our part. I’m a Linux user, really a small private company making a business decision doesn’t bother me and people getting pissy about the first message was silly imho. But the only thing that changed here was the pr.
I don't think you can compare the relationship of a company to customers, to that of a one-to-one relationship of a doctor or a lawyer. The company acts as a third party with very different (and often directly conflicting with the end user) aims that creates a much harder ethical situation for a developer to navigate and creates confusion as to who has the responsibility to sound the alarm.

I think of something like legal or medical confidentiality, which can involve their clients doing pretty horrible things but it being the "ethical" thing to not reveal that. If one takes this same thing to a Facebook scenario, does the developer who works for Facebook then have the obligation to protect the confidentiality of Facebook even if they're doing awful things? Would it be any different where a lawyer is working for a horrible client, trying to use the law to do things that are a net-negative for society, but ethics would put their obligation towards their direct client rather than society at large.

If one then wants to write a piece about ethics, one should start with examples of fields with ethical codes that have a structure closer to the relationship of users/Facebook/developers.
