Suppose a hundred people have my contact information. If any one of those hundred people decide that Facebook gets access to their phone, then Facebook gets my information. The "vote" of pro-facebook counts 100x that of a vote against facebook.

Oh for sure, it's not a new idea, but another aspect I didn't mention above is that he also talked about how powerfully this phenomenon can be combined with remote work, which provides a significant multiplier on the effect, and indeed is a relatively new and growing factor that wasn't so relevant even 5 years ago.

Netflix does very innovative things to get to where it is. Its not that innovate anymore since a lot of the infrastructure is 'easily' replicable, but it is still the only well capitalized and large solo content streamer. All the other ones are #metoo's from incumbent organizations
Their title would be something like lecturer. I suppose students might call them professor, or they might insist on being called professor just like some Ph.D graduates might insist on being called 'Doctor' even though they're not a medical doctor.

An associate professor would at least be tenure-track.

Hah, it was geometry class for me too. Lots of plug-and-chug arithmetic, no logic required, translated perfectly into simple calculator programs.
I recently just created an iPhone app that basically does this. It only allows calls through from your contacts, all other calls go directly to voicemail that you can review later. Most other apps out there attempt to use a blacklist, which is basically useless as it's trivial to recycle phone numbers or just spoof phone numbers. Imagine if social media worked the same way phone calls do, where anyone's effortless contact is treated the same way, regardless of their degree of connection. I think for a lot of people, this is a great solution, and pretty much eliminates the constant distraction of spam calls. https://www.myhumansapp.com
Worth mentioning that public access channels are normally something like your local version of PBS. For Brits maybe something like BBC but at much smaller regional scale.

In many cases they are extensively funded by tax payers.

___

And the fact that these were channels pretty much in existence due to taxpayers. Made them a great target to turn more places into a public forum, in hopes of it also having a ruling that affects social media.

Which is why people were worried about it affecting social media.
I don't think one reward method is objectively better than any other because individuals are all motivated by different things.

I'm here in Chennai, and things are bad, but it's hard to tell how bad. So much of the water is trucked anyways - Chennai doesn't have a well developed unified water system.

As a foreigner who has visited several times, here's what I've noticed:

- lots more people on the street with those iconic plastic water containers. Lots more water trucks on the road.

- water quality is BAD. Even in upper-class highrise condos, the water has much more odor and color. In this building, salinity is way up too. There's a reverse-osmosis plant here, but it's only on for several hours a day because RO systems waste so much water.

- haven't seen many restaurant closures, but I'm sure they're happening.

- a lot of hotels targeting westerners have advanced filtration and reverse-osmosis plants, seem to still be operating. Some pools are drained.

- water pressure in some neighborhoods is so low that it's only a trickle at the tap. News says some people are using pumps to pull of the metro system, making things worse.

Overall, it seems like bad expensive water is still out there if you can afford it and want to pay.
Touch screens are not as mature as a button or knob. We know that using a small knob to control a radio works, it is tried and true again and again.

But we also know that replacing the steering wheel with a small knob is a bad idea.

This is because this is a mature technology has that has as many bad implications as good ones.

I guess I’m a way tough screens need to be everywhere since that is how the technology matured and we know where they should not be used.

hahaha. "drink tickets" I don't honestly know if it's a cost thing so much as some trick HR has convinced people will limit their liability if something bad were to happen. Every time I see that done, it seems like there is a little black market for them the develops, some folks don't drink or leave the party early and people tend to accumulate more than their 2 or 3 tickets.

This company no longer exists but they routinely demanded 6 days a week effort as a matter of principle (if you put the hard work in up front, it pays dividends as the project goes on... and then they just add stuff near the end of the project) Some people left, morale was terrible, what did they do? The C-level staff that a) had limited culinary ability, and b) nobody really wanted to spend time with made a special dinner for everybody, it was quasi mandatory on a Friday night. The CEO even gave a speech about how they could have just taken us to a nice restaurant but it felt more personal and special for them to make and serve us dinner.

To make it even better, there were some vegans in the mix and they didn't have anything that they could eat.

Facebook's PR acts like people who didn't have money available will now suddenly have it on their phones, but the Libra technical docs say one can only obtain Libra by buying it with fiat (or by buying their separate investment tokens.)

Since the unbanked aren't qualified investors for the token, that means every Libra they get will have to come from someone's other credit card, PayPal, or bank account.

There aren't a whole lot of businesses or transit stops inside Stuy Town and Peter Cooper Village [1]. Barcelona, in contrast, is apparently planning to encourage multi-use development.

It must be hard to quantify the benefits of preventive measures to reduce employee turnover.

It would probably take a company that had all of its shit in order to have a nice report about how HR initiatives over some amount of years was directly correlated to lower employee turnover. If you can't put it in a report to accurately understand the impact of the expenditure it probably becomes hard to justify. I think this must explain all the ineffective half measures and low budgets.

That's a reasonable critique against an implementation of short term shareholder value maximization. That said, it doesn't show a different definition for fiduciary responsibility. It does, however, illustrate my original point that fiduciary responsibility is a silly justification for lots of things it's used to justify.
Hard to detect sarcasm or parody here, but this is a great example of someone condemning the systems which were cheap (or license-free), widely available, worked well enough for most people, and provided huge benefits to millions, because it doesn't comply with his own narrow view of how it should be done.

Exactly. A system whose priority is preventing people from ever using it.
No, not really. In various economic regions there can be regulators that rule this way but they won't be able to stop the commerce from happening with this currency. The Libra Foundation can also just register banks in local jurisdictions to check a box. Many incumbent services have done this for decades, like Paypal.

Cryptocurrency removes the ability of the state to whitelist transactions, as their power only existed from being able to regulate an intermediary. This is the anti-fragile nature of cryptocurrency.

Facebook's validator nodes (corporate consortiums) are a compromise on the anti-fragile nature, but not by much.

Yes, because facebook users tend to be marvelously well informed and certainly don't exist in a narrative bubble.

In the US, cryptocurrencies are treated as assets, they are taxed every time you exchange them for something or even each other. I would disagree that libra coin is akin to Facebook and partners creating their own money.
I'm not sure what you thought I thought. I was absolutely not expecting CarPlay itself to let me "control aspects of my car". I don't even know what this means.

Here are the problems:

* When my phone is plugged into CarPlay, it completely takes over the entire head unit/nav system/screen of the car. I cannot easily swap in and out between CarPlay and the various control systems on my center screen -- Nav, car settings, etc. I'm STUCK IN CARPLAY. I cannot have the directions from the nav system show up in the MID display between the gauges, either, even though that's a separate display.

* It took over my phone. I was unable to do anything using my phone. Perhaps that has changed, but this is the way it was in 2016 which was 2nd gen of CarPlay, where they started adding more apps.

* Phone calls done through my car's audio system -- correct. However, this was also the case over bluetooth. That was the main problem with carplay. Bluetooth already solved most of the problems CarPlay purported to solve -- I had phone calls, streaming spotify, etc. The only thing I didn't have without CarPlay was a simplified Spotify (or whatever app) UI on my in-dash screen, hiding everything else I might want to do on said screen.

https://golang.org/doc/faq#goroutines

"It is practical to create hundreds of thousands of goroutines in the same address space. If goroutines were just threads, system resources would run out at a much smaller number."

More generally, Go is hardly the first language to implement userspace threads backed by OS threads. Erlang famously does this, for example, and so does GHC: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haskell/Concurrency

In response to your other comment, the whole point of Goroutines is that you can use them pretty freely without (usually) having to worry about how many there are. Let's say you're writing a server, and that handling one of the requests requires completing 10 tasks, each of which can run in parallel. In Go you can just spawn a Goroutine for each of those tasks. But if you were using real OS threads, then that implementation could easily end up spawning more than a few thousand threads, when the server was under significant load.
How confident? Even with an even distribution of birthdays it's possible to have a billion people in the room that don't share your birthday. Very unlikely, but as there's only about 20 million people with your birthday, and 7 billion without, it's quite doable.

I just created an iPhone app that uses a whitelist from your contacts like you described. It's available on iOS 11+ and called MyHumans.

I've tested out the "silence unknown callers" feature in the iOS 13 beta and it works very much in a similar way. "Unknown callers" seems to be any call that isn't in your recent calls or in your contacts.

When I made MyHumans (just launched in the last month), I knew there was a risk of something like this appearing in iOS 13, but I'll be adding some more features.

Assuming a uniform distribution, the probability is 1/365 for any person#. Those probabilities add up linearly if the people are guaranteed to have different birthdays (union/OR). Otherwise the probability of NOT having someone with the same birthday goes down exponentially as a an exponential power of the fraction 364/365 (intersection of complement/AND NOT)

It’s exactly what you would expect from classical combinatorics with cards with or without replacement. Your term “confident” is vague.

In most countries people at the level of just associate professor don't call themselves 'professor.'

> like some Ph.D graduates might insist on being called 'Doctor' even though they're not a medical doctor

The title 'doctor' means you have a doctorate, or in some cases like the UK it's also used as a courtesy title for a medical professional with just a bachelors degree. PhDs, EngDs, DPhils, DLs, MDs, and more are all entitled to use it as much as each other.
