Ironically, one google search away: there is a surreal leaked video of company-wide meeting after Trump Election:

https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/09/12/leaked-video-googl...

Google's response: "Nothing was said at that meeting, or any other meeting, to suggest that any political bias ever influences the way we build or operate our products."

Which of course is not true, as was ironically demonstrated on the same meeting pre-election, when instant answer cards in search results were popping up for Hilary queries, but not for Trump queries.

Not to nitpick but most Ivy League schools have robust financial aid(families making less than 100K have no loans etc.) and the average debt load is <$40,000 which is very manageable with an Ivy League degree.
Do you know one for Phantom 4? I'd like to adjust maximal allowed elevation (the hard limit gets in the way while shooting movies in mountains).
Sorry, hard to keep track of unallocations between there, Oshawa, and Detroit. Per your sibling comment (if you can answer) - was it the plant closure that led to the Volt being discontinued, or was that just coincident with it being discontinued because of the ZEV/PHEV credit rule change?
If you know the secret handshake. You need to call and spend couple hours on the phone with Tesla trying to upsell you to a more expensive model. Then, perhaps, if you are lucky, you will manage to order it. They don't even show it on their website.
My point is that right now, for most units, it’s financially smarter to rent in Manhattan. It’s not even close.

I’ve been doing a search in Manhattan this spring. On nearly every property I see, mortgage + hoa / taxes + insurance easily exceeds equivalent monthly rent. And not by a little bit, but by hundreds of dollars a month.

Deduct mortgage interest and $10k of SALT, and a few properties (~10%) start to make sense on a 5-10 year timeframe. Most are nowhere close to affordable. Factor in opportunity cost at any reasonable long-term rate of return, and nothing makes sense (You basically have to assume that the stock market will underperform, and the housing market will over-perform to make the numbers work.)

The few properties that make sense on a spreadsheet sell quickly. Most linger. Ask any real estate agent - the market is shifting, and the shift reflects the fact that prices got ahead of fundamentals.

So it depends strongly on when you bought and how rare your deal was, but these days, the vast majority of the Manhattan market is overpriced, and implicitly betting on speculative price appreciation.
Actually, its just a driver.
Homeownership is generally more correlated with wealth and financial security, which is more correlated with political involvement and having the time and the money to do so.

Short of massively expanding the poor's ability to vote (making Election Day a holiday, putting it on a weekend, mail-in voting) this holds true in American elections.

I used to live in Denmark. Ease of doing business -- well, there are good things (streamlined and transparent bureacracy) and there are bad things (taxes make you uncompetitive, especially if you plan to hire people). Access to capital -- can't even compare.

Regarding social mobility -- well, you can live a good life in Denmark, but living great life is different. Janteloven is still very much a thing.
I hope the next languages will come from interactive theorem provers and program synthesis. I'd much rather work at the level of types, propositions, models, and proofs and solve the interesting problems. The rest is book keeping and often repeated over and over.

And I hope the interfaces for these languages won't require the use of a glowing screen and a sadistic keyboard. I'd rather like it for computers to disappear into the background. I'd like to reason about my programs in a physical space where I can freely walk around, write on a note pad, draw on a chalk board, converse, and re-arrange the room to my liking. I quite dislike how I've developed astigmatism, am at high risk for RSI, and probably other health ailments because we can't think of a computing environment better than what we have right now... just with more pixels, pop ups, nags, swishy animations, etc.

And in Russia they ban instead this or that free speech advocate. And in China it is some other group of people that cannot speak. And in India, and in Brasil, Iran, Pakistan, UK, etc. There are always offensive people or sensitive subjects.

The only question is Facebook going to ban each group of people per country basis or globally. If globally, we are going to have a very limited, gray area of speech in Facebook.
I wish all users had your capacity for reason.

FB is private property. Play by their rules or GTFO. People who scream about censorship in instances such as these are being willfully dismissive of the property rights of others. And that's a dangerous road to start down.
I don't remember who first said it but blockchain has exactly one killer feature, Bitcoin. If you try to adapt it anywhere else you're probably abusing the tech.
LOL rather than applaud some modicum of privacy we may be getting back, you decide to denigrate. Should we all hold this cynical attitude and hope for no progress at all?
Gitlab is actually redirecting hub.gitlab.com to lab.github.com.
You buy the supplements, get on the company’s mailing lists, go to the lectures, join Facebook groups with people following the same thing to share experiences, attend meetups, etc. Of course it’s a social, shared experience first and foremost.

Clojure: REBL 0.9.157: Var nav with runtime deps
I was at a computer/parts shop yesterday, and I asked about a floppy disk reader. They sell a usb one.

I have a handful of floppies remaining. I am sure I haven't looked at the contents in 15 years or more. I feel like checking them out, just in case of something interesting.

The shop, by chance, didn't have any in stock.

I don't know if I'll get one. If I haven't needed whatever is on them in this long, then maybe I don't really need it. But I am still curious.

Is there a catch to this? I know that Leaf batteries aren't liquid cooled which degrades them a lot quicker than liquid cooled batteries, but still that's an absurdly good deal.

Funny. I don't love the exterior of the Bolt, although appearance is essentially a nonfactor for me choosing a car, but prefer the interior strongly over competing EV/PHEVs for display and space. Strongly dislike the console on the Model 3 and the Prius Prime, and Leaf battery was a deal breaker.
Hi!

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Much appreciated.

Totally agree in regards to the homepage. Any specific suggestions by any chance?

Forced labor camps? you mean prisons? I'm sorry but please back this up with evidence.

And sure black men experience this at a far higher rate. This is because black men commit crimes at a far higher rate. Men in general commit crimes at a far higher rate and thus experience this at a far higher rate, but I don't hear anyone suggesting that America is sexist against men.

To say of course we're a racist country is so preposterous. Yes slavery happened hear. But because America is the wonderful country that it is, we were able to abolish it and move in a progressive direction. Race issues are so nearly resolved completely and its people like you, as well as the small minority of legitimately racist people left, that are perpetuating the problems.

And yes of course there is an excuse for a cop firing their weapon at someone even if that someone hasns't shot first. Do you understand what a ridiculous standard that would be? Are we just supposed to make our cops wait to get shot before they act? absurd.

You know what there isn't any excuse for? Not cooperating with a cop who is acting within the bounds of the law. Which is the number 1 reason why people get shot by cops, white or black. This cop hating/disrespecting mentality among the black community only encourages people to be disrespectful and uncooperative with cops, ultimately leading to the fatal encounters you see in the news e.g. Michael Brown.
The point of the lawsuit is that the border search is only supposed to be for contraband being imported, not a general law enforcement search
If you can't afford college but you have enough of a support system to get good grades and extracurriculars, there's a good chance you'll get into a good university with a generous financial aid program. If you get into a top university and your parents make combined <$100,000/yr, it's likely you won't have to pay any tuition at all.
You're missing the IoT component. The devices themselves do the data "entry" on the blockchain so the whole system is automated, distributed and tamper proof (assuming you don't hack the devices, of course).
Their criteria from the article:

> The Facebook spokesperson said such factors include whether the person or organization has ever called for violence against individuals based on race, ethnicity, or national origin; whether the person has been identified with a hateful ideology; whether they use hate speech or slurs in their about section on their social media profiles; and whether they have had pages or groups removed from Facebook for violating hate speech rules.

Nope.
> I see two reasons why C++ is not a suitable language for domain specialists in numerical computing.

Have you heard of MPI or even OpenMP ?. They can be used to accelerate fast computation in C++ or even work on domain-specified parallel execution.
Also, I agree. Emergent population behaviors do not equal a cabal. Nevertheless, emergent population behaviors exist. Humans work in their own self interest. NY is a big city with a lot of competition.
Just wait till people on the other side of the spectrum start getting blowback because establishment left are done with them, then we’ll hear how speech is being kerbed in the interest of the establishment and corporatism.
Awesome, thanks for the kind words dataking! :)
> Your scenario means you have to sue Google and win, as well as prove damages. That has historically just not worked.

So does a proposal about a special ceremony which makes the claim binding; you still have to take action when they break it, and prove that they did.

> I'm taking about a system that would let companies voluntarily increase their legal exposure to specific claims as a proof of commitment.

Increased exposure in what specific way? Lowering the standard of proof below preponderance of the evidence? Keeping that standard but allowing statutory minimum damages? Adding a damages multiplier?
Yeah, they obviously want an opportunity to upsell you so they make you speak to a person to get the $35k model. It is a bad business practice from a consumer perspective, but if you have ever purchased a car from a dealer you know this type of upselling is unfortunately standard for the industry. At least Tesla won't try to sell you on rustproofing and tire warranties.

Is this in reference to using it to get to work or something? They would be correct to not expect a return from investing in a depreciating asset.

U.S. in UFO Race with China, Russia, Former Senate Majority Leader Suggests
And voters put people in power who restrict supply and thus guarantee profits for homeowners.

With how small polities are in the Bay Area this leads this to everyone pushing the burden onto someone else. With a large enough polity responsible for zoning (e.g. New York City's five boroughs) the pressure to add housing becomes too large to completely ignore.
Assuming that you, an individual, can prove not only that the policy was broken, but also broken at the time when the policy was in effect. T&Cs change often, and only major changes require notifying the user.

The entire burden of proof would be on you, vs. a behemoth corp whose bottom line depends on maximizing data collection and retention.

Go to court on your own dime, prove it, and yes, the penalty might have some teeth. Might.

I'd argue that the number of non degree holders that are capable of being good Software Engineers is very small.
Hi everyone, faast.js is a library that allows you to use serverless to run batch processing jobs. It makes it super easy to run regular functions as serverless functions. This is one of my first open source projects and I'd be happy to answer any questions here.
Yes, customs and border protection will seize electronics from US citizens if it believes there is contraband on them. But it is exceedingly rare.
I agree, but it seems silly to assume that offices are peak productivity for everyone—this is a common excuse for not allowing remote work. Some of this is understandable but it really comes down to resentment between remote vs in person.
That's good advice, but vulnerability doesn't really fit imho. "Be open", "be humble" or something like that, but "vulnerable"?
The best ones with the brightest students? I don't see an issue here.
let me rephrase. Yes, you can. But you absolutely shouldn't, because once you start controlling peoples exposure to ideas, things go off the rails.

I read it as "Nadella-nuissance".
I actually don't remember that. What was the deal with that?
I think many people do realise it, and feel like it's a worthwhile risk. The cost of avoiding a hypothetical future in which I'm censored is accepting the real damage they're doing in the here and now. And also, I may end up censored anyway for other reasons. Tolerating Milo et al. isn't really a bulwark protecting me.
Thanks for posting this. Many posters here seem to be ignorant of that fact that poor high schoolers with excellent grades and other accolades regularly get into top institutions - including Ivy League schools - and pay zero tuition due to generous financial aid packages.
This would just trap people in their homes and exacerbate supply problems. Empty nesters would face a huge tax bill for vacating their home even if they sold and went to another state, so they might stay in a house that is way oversized for their current needs and take it away from someone else.
Think of this scenario: your group has a new manager that none of you have met. Now lets imagine that this manager is fairly inexperienced (you don't know that yet). Consider a couple of options.

1) They come in at first aggressively controlling, because they don't want to look inexperienced or weak.

2) They come in saying 'Look team, I don't really know what I'm doing yet, and I need your help working it out'

The vulnerability exists in both cases (inexperience). How you treat it can hugely effect team dynamics. I think work like this often suggests the latter approach is much more effective on average. NB there are definitely times when showing vulnerability isn't going to help things at all.
I'm not a fan of either of these people, but how exactly are Milo Yiannopolous and Paul Joseph Watson "dangerous"? Maybe it's not good material for people to be watching, but to call them "dangerous" comes off like the religious right of yore claiming that video games depicting violence are dangerous and need to be censored.

I wouldn't normally step in to defend these people, but this article by CNN is a prime example of why people don't trust the media. Note the use of the word "fringe" in reference to people like Paul Joseph Watson, despite the number of views and subscribers(1.6 million) he has on YouTube alone. The word "fringe" used to mean something a lot more, well... fringe, but it's obvious that CNN and other outlets believe that they are official while everyone not sanctioned by Big Advertising is fringe.

Facebook used to be popular because it was, at one point, fun. If they're going to remove all the voices they think are "dangerous", what they're left with won't be fun or interesting. Just lukewarm, milquetoast, or worse... lopsided.

Sadly, I suspect that Facebook's stock will continue to climb despite how restrictive it is, how uninteresting it is, and how many people are leaving it.

EDIT: I do appreciate those who haven't taken my comment as a denial of wrongdoing by subjects I mentioned. My question was honest and I still stand by my comment on CNN.
Literally everything you said is alt-right conspiracy nonsense.

People who blow up Americans are our enemies. They brag about being our enemies online and in traditional media, at least until we blow them up using very expensive bombs. These wars were authorized by duly elected legislative representatives at the behest of multiple ideologically-opposing executive administrations.

One of these presidents was a black/brown man, who spent his time in office addressing racial tensions. The other, more recent president--the one inflaming racial tensions--received political assistance from Assange, who openly admits to choosing to spread DNC leaks harmful to Clinton and choosing not to publish any negative documents about Trump, despite having access to a plethora of such documents.

Assange revealed nothing, except that he's just as petty and partisan as everyone else, and just as capable of lies as the politicians he claimed he was trying to take down.
> My guess: Chevy has to discount the Bolt because it's simply not selling that well. They already had to discontinue the Volt, their plug-in hybrid.

All auto-companies are showing declining sales. Ford, GM, Toyota, and Tesla.

I think your supposition here is most correct. The car market is declining, so the various car companies are now cutting prices and competing on price even more strongly. Some car models will be cut out and discontinued as a result.

Interesting that you mention "wire fraud," which is defined in a sense that involves "intent to deceive using an electronic device". Basically, woman lying about her weight on a dating app is committing wire fraud, as is a son lying to his mom that he had dinner. It only matters how much the woman or the son angered the authorities to determine the extent to which they will feel their wrath.
When I played during a previous free fly weekend, I initially spawned in much the way you describe, then died and respawned in a completely different location (a city of some kind) with no indication of what I should be doing, and no map to find my way around, and objective markers that would change what they point to whenever I would start getting closer. I never figured out what they were even pointing to. That experience put me off the game pretty much permanently.

You're spot on about "too much realism." The city I was in was incredibly intricate and didn't have any sort of layout that helps you navigate. So many areas I found my self lost in had seemingly no use to players in-game.
There are different kinds and levels of trust. "Trust but verify" doesn't mean you should give strangers your SSN.

I agree that this nuance is lost within the turn-of-phrase, but omitting the trust part doesn't seem to me like a good way to build a collaborative society. Companies are just people.
What Is High Cardinality?
Having been around hospitals a bit, I have a feeling some percentage of the population just don't want to deal with the medical establishment. Whether it's because of bad experiences from the past or what their families have been through or just pure fear of treatment, they just look for answers else where.
Just because Facebook can do something doesn't mean Facebook should.

Freedom of speech is much more than a legal concept about governments and governed. It's also a guideline on how we should structure an open society going at least back to Ancient Greece.
Or you use virsh and libvirt. And enjoy a CLI while still having libvirt.

Seriously, this page only has videos. I don't want to watch them. Can you sum up why I shouldn't use libvirt, in a few sentences?
You're correct: an oxymoron is a phrase that is seemingly self-contradictory. While "trust but verify" is an oxymoron, it is not a contradiction or paradox.

A simpler oxymoron is "to make haste slowly". In that phrase, the "make haste" part describes velocity, while "slowly" describes acceleration. Anyone who has taken Calculus knows that velocity and acceleration can be independent variables. Thus "to make haste slowly" is an oxymoron but not self-contradictory.

Similarly, "trust but verify" describes two possibly independent variables: your attitude about the future and your behavior regarding the past. You can choose to trust people to make good decisions for the future, while simultaneously verifying they made good decisions in the past. Alternatives to "trust but verify" include "always trust", which has obvious bad consequences; "never trust", which has different but also bad consequences; "trust sometimes", which is ambiguous; and "verify always", which is unrealistic. The phrase "trust but verify" describes a healthy attitude and behavior.
