Just an anecdote but at the depths of a bout of depression I had several years ago I decided to watch “the bridge”, a documentary profiling people have committed suicide by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge.

Suicidal ideation absolutely increased for me and I even drove up to a bridge in Spokane just to “think about it.” I thought about jumping for about 10 minutes before I got in my car, drove home, and set up some time to talk to a therapist. I absolutely can see how a movie can push someone over the edge. I was lucky to get home and see my roommate had invited a few friends over...took me out of my thoughts long enough to recognize just how close I had gotten.
I'm not sure if this is just related to my machine, but I couldn't get it to compile.

Probably because at least with the Casio and Timex you know you're getting something overpriced openly.

With the Tissot you're just getting a pretentious overpriced crap (whether it has this or that custom movement, the margins are still stacked way against the buyer).
When we interview people who attempted suicide but somehow survived (they would have died if they hadn't got timely medical attention) we see shame is a common emotion.

These people know that ending their life is wrong, and this knowledge combined with their desire to end their life makes them feel worse, and it prevents them seeking help, and it makes it more likely that they will die.
yeah my first thought is: Is the work of art causing people to commit suicide or are people who are already suicidal drawn to art about suicide and prone to romanticizing and copying the art
Extensions like Ghostery and Ublock Origin are maybe the only reason to use FF on Android, as Brave does adblocking as well and renders pages more smoothly as it's a Chromium fork.

Didn't they also release Firefox Focus recently, also with no extension support?
Nice idea but a bit too utopian to work IMO.

First, most users will never want to pay for a service, especially things like chat, email, social. What I mean by that is, the market is already there for social apps that allow completely free usage by using user data, think Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.

Second, asking users to pay for a service at about $8/mo is pretty steep. Purism/librem aren't building all the apps themselves.
The producers, directors, and show runners for this were pure garbage people. They consulted with psychologist before the shows release and were advised about specific things they should not show or do and they ignored them all. Chief among the advice given was that they not explicitly show the suicide. This show is like a wet dream for anyone with suicidal ideation. The main character kills herself and gets to leave behind videos for all the people who were mean to her and they all feel bad regret their actions. It was insane to believe that an incredibly popular show romanticizing suicide wouldn't lead to a spike in teen suicides.

If you develop anything on docker or kubernetes, linux is quite a bit better since you can run things natively instead of via Docker for mac's vm.
Is this paid software? Not sure anyone pays for and downloads software beside mobile apps, because of the distribution & payment system. I'm very skeptical of downloading software from websites.

If not paid, then put it in the usual software download channels.

Consider a different distribution / payment model.
Native French speaker here. Maybe it's confusing to discuss this in terms of syllables unless you are a linguist. If you just want to learn how to say the word, what matters is how people actually say the word. Specifically, you pronounce "rien" in one quick shot. (So it's definitely closer to one syllable if we care about this. But if I am to say the word very slowly to teach somebody how it sounds, it might progressively become closer to two syllables. Languages are complicated.)
I think that was the parents point. I think he was being sarcastic

I actually think it's great if there is commercial use of open source. That means they can reinvest development time into the projects, because their customers will depend on those projects.

The alternative seems to be walled gardens.

Other companies do similar things, such as Fastmail which develops the open source IMAP server Cyrus [1]. I've been a happy Fastmail customer for years. Cyrus is still free for anyone to use even though Fastmail makes money from it.

Sure, but contagion in suicide is a well studied thing and we know it happens.
I'm very glad you got the help you needed. There are reasons to keep going!
This is really frustrating, and basically the exact same thread as happened a while back with another list of "ethical alternatives".

You can't call something ethical without going into detail about what you mean. and:

Policy
No Ads
No Tracking
We respect you

is not useful.

The value in ethics is in the conversation around what is ethical, not in a big, friendly "this is ethical" sticker.

This is as useful as "do no evil", and from the vague wording on the landing page, I'd imagine the people behind librem don't think google is very ethical right now.
Because they like the look. If the shop around, they can get all kinds of women's clothes (including shirts and t-shirts) with pockets, but they wont.
Maybe a dumb question from a non-medical guy: are medical images considered "stationary" from a stats viewpoint?

That is, will medical images of diseases we diagnose in the next 20 years look a lot like the ones from the past 20 years, or is there a danger of over-fitting on an evolving data set? Could either the technology or the biology of the disease evolve?

In a prior life I was a quant trader, and financial market data is notorious for having the non-stationary problem. On top of market rules and structures changing all the time, once someone discovers a profitable trading idea, their own actions change what the data looks like for everyone else from that point forward.
Even if your app is IO bound, Python's concurrency is painful. Because it's not statically typed, it's too easy to forget an `await` (causing your program to get a Promise[Foo] when you meant to get a Foo) or to overburden your event loop and such things are difficult to debug (we've had several production outages because of these class of bugs). Never mind the papercuts that come about from dealing with the sync/async dichotomy.
Those cases are almost always dismissed summarily, unless the plaintiff can demonstrate fraud or other kinds of bad faith. The "Business Judgement Rule" [0] requires courts to give a very wide latitude to the officers of a corporation.

The idea that "fiduciary duty" requires directors to pursue profit "above all else" is flatly false, and has led to untold amounts of misunderstanding and meaningless noise since whichever fool monkey first uttered it.

I haven't seen the show so can't comment on my opinion of it, but this is a personal choice. Almost certainly there are many people who enjoy the show in its current form.

Parents shouldn't let their children watch shows they don't approve of. For everyone else, just don't watch if it bothers you. Yes, it's fine to criticize and comment, but creators are under no obligation to listen to the critics and in most cases are better off sticking to their original vision.

Please consider making dynamic graphs a key feature for the 1.0 release! I like how easy it is to use SOUL to build simple processes, but I'd like it a lot more if I didn't have to specify my graph at compile time.

A few more questions:

- How will the language/API/reference VM be licensed?

- Will the API depend in any way on the JUCE ecosystem?

- Do you expect users to bundle the VM with their plugins/applications or to have one installation on a target machine? Or will plugins need to be supported by a host that embeds the VM?
>And I revel in small triumphs, like [...] that French Jews and Christians use the familiar “tu” when addressing God.

English speakers do as well, but the form of address is so deprecated in modern usage that it sounds more formal instead of less. The English familiar-you is thou, and is/was only used with intimate relationships.
Agreed! I'm not opposed to companies making fair money off of open source software...BUT, they need to disclose clearly the underlying software. Hey RedHat - for all their good or ill - has made tons of money that way, so there is precedent.
There is gitlab-runner exec command which takes a ci yaml file and executes it, but it sux (A LOT), so they deprecated it.

This is not the same as taking a bash/powershell script and running it locally on runners host because gitlab inject into shell some stuff like secrets, env vars, artifacts, caches etc.

Some errors are VERY hard to reproduce when not on local executing environment.
It doesn't have to be solely responsible to be reprehensible. Contributing to teen suicide by glamorizing it on television is like glamorizing terrorists (Rolling Stone - Tsarnaev) or school shooters in my mind.

Some expectation of privacy probably applies to conversations inside the car. Also, there might be a different way to think about the entire record of behavior of where one drives. Neither of those would interfere with policing of the behavior you cite.
Nobody thinks the show provokes something in ordinary kids who are perfectly healthy & happy. The concern is specifically about giving a nudge to a kid who is on the precipice.

When the show debuted, the National Association of School Psychologists issued a warning statement: "We do not recommend that vulnerable youth, especially those who have any degree of suicidal ideation, watch this series." -- TFA

This is something that I've noticed too. I really want to like this but they are claiming to charge people for apps that they don't own and are already free. If they said that they simply take care of all complicated hosting or simplified the process I'd be more optimistic about this.

Let’s Be A* – Learn and Code a Path Planning Algorithm to Fly a Drone
Our long-term goal with plugins is to make them much easier to write in SOUL without needing to actually compile anything natively.. as for a marketplace to deliver them, we'd certainly love to be able to offer one of those, and will see how things go.

Yep, we'd love to make soul.dev into a place where you can browse snippets of code, search for people's implementations of various DSP algorithms and try them out and put them together - that's all definitely in the plan!

And as far as cross-platform-ness goes, I don't currently foresee a situation where any SOUL code wouldn't run on all platforms.. Running it as WASM in a browser may not be particularly quick compared to the same code running via LLVM JIT or on a DSP, but it should still work.

(And yes... soul.dev certainly uses HTTPS.. maybe whoever posted this story typed it without that)

I agree that everyone should broadcast, just let me filter it on the input side.
I find the “ethical” framing around this to be rather problematic.

I hate ads and care about my privacy as much as anyone else here. However, the argument that a free ad-supported product X available to anyone in the world with an internet connection is less ethical than product Y which requires a monthly payment for access seems tenuous at best. Especially when you consider that the price is out of the question for those in developing countries.

This is a luxury purchase, not an ethical one.

You can buy civilian camouflage that takes actual photographs from the area you will be hunting in, replaces a range of greens in it with hunter's orange, and prints it on field-appropriate clothing. As long as you launder it correctly (no UV whiteners), it is near-perfect camouflage versus dichromat prey animals, while still standing out to the trichromat animals [with the guns].

If you skip the green-to-orange replacement step, it's already great military camouflage for the exact spot shown in the source photograph. So if you trained a GAN on many photographs from the same area, I imagine it could make camouflage that functions like a printable ghillie suit.

Then you could also take the output images, wrap them around a human model, pose the model randomly in front of a real terrain background, and penalize any camouflage image that cannot prevent an object classifier from detecting the camouflaged human model, in any pose, in front of any background image in the terrain corpus.

Though I'd expect that the more variety you have in the terrain image corpus, the less effective the camouflage is against the object classifier.
Maybe? It's hard to say. I had a question about a mole once and what they did was take a photo of it with a special camera apparatus and they sent the image off to be diagnosed while I waited around. The doctor looked at it personally but it seems like the actual diagnosis was made by someone who never even saw me.
Horn honking is like a language. I doubt very many people are leaning on their horn when the person ahead of them is taking too long to take off from a light. Usually this is communicated through short, almost staccato honks from the horn. To communicate "shit you're about to crash" people lay on the horn. I don't think the honks used to wake up people dozing off at a green like are being mistaken for safety honks.
"Rien" has the same number of syllables as all the other consonant sound + "ien" words: one. (tien, sien, chien, bien, lien)

Here's one from the UK National Union of Journalists.

https://www.nuj.org.uk/news/mental-health-and-suicide-report...

I use this one because they're journalists and so understand the balance of freedom of speech with not causing harm.

They're quite old.

The BBC also has guidance here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/editorialguidelines/guidelines/harm-an...

They've unhelpfully put them in a section titled "harm and offence", so if I ever contact the BBC about poor reporting I have to say that I'm not bothered about offence, I'm letting them know about something that may cause harm.

Agreed, but Java's generics are not the best either. When I am looking for an advanced type system in this space I look at Rust, not Java.
I think a lot of folks here think WeWork is just a co-working space.

WeWork has full on teams from F500s occupying their spaces in some locations, sometimes even completely isolated from externals companies by building or floor. Its a great trade-off to owning/renting and managing your own space. I'm not saying its cheaper in all respects.. but its less of a headache, and less headcount needed to manage. The individual co-working space is the small play.

It is especially more lucrative if you think about it from a real estate perspective, there are so many provisions and ways to grow that investment if you own key properties.

>I like Librem, though I am a little concerned here. I prefer if hardware and services comes from different companies

I actually agree 100% with you, however I think at this stage of the market development, its enough to have a 3rd choice who's apps and services are open.

Librem is facing the "Grandmother problem". In order for this concept to actually succeed, it eventually needs regular folks to buy it. Its not enough to tell thousands of grandmothers to "buy our phone hardware and simply download and install any of the dozens of confusing and competing software stacks by following these 20 instructions on github". It needs to be marketed and sold as coherent integrated product, otherwise just buy an old Samsung and root it yourself....

Scientific confirmation of well-known folk wisdom. (Not a bad thing.) I remember being in college and hearing "I'll go shot for shot" and "I can drink you under the table", etc. Outdrinking the other person was a badge of... adulthood? Maybe? I don't know. I never got it myself. I tried drinking to excess and the first lesson I learned was my limits, best summarized by the old adage "one tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor". The experience was unpleasant enough to put me off consuming more than two drinks a night.
But works on my FF though :P
Disclaimer, I am a GitLab employee. But IMO this isn't really comparing apples-to-apples, since we're specifically talking about remote companies. Sure, someone may have 2 job offers from 2 different remote companies, in which case the company offering SF rates has the advantage. But I'd argue that would be a fairly rare case overall given how globally competitive remote work is.

What's probably more likely is that someone is comparing Local Company A vs Remote Company B (this was my case), with the compensation rates being fairly equal. Then, the decision is "am I willing to be paid less than a coworker in SF for the opportunity to work remotely?" I was fine with that trade-off personally, and I'm sure a lot of people who are attracted to remote work would be as well.
I wonder if they just took those apps and rebranded them or if they contacted those projects and asked for their permission (even if legally not required).

I mean, I like what Librem does in general and I also think that marketing those apps as a uniform service (without distracting attributions) is definitely a pro for consumers, but if I would be one of the contributors to those projects I might be a bit pissed off if they didn't ask for permission.
Oh really and how far are you willing to take it? For instance, should child pornography also be untamed so long as it's known as art?

Vodafone found hidden backdoors in Huawei equipment, says report
well the answer is a bit more complicated than just replacing dermatologists with a CNN. I am pretty convinced the better approach is something like the approach in this paper-use the CNN on easy cases-have the CNN tell a human which instances are hard to classify. Many images are easy to classify-but some are hard [even for the cnn] and humans should give those images more study.
