Hmm, not sure about that. Sydney here. I can't think offhand of a context where 'No, yeah' would have much meaning, if any. I never hear it. Does sound like bush talk, maybe, but not sure. e.g. "You don’t like me, do you?" "No, yeah" (or "yeah, no") would just be a meaningless, confusing response. You'd say "Yes! of course I do" or something.

There's that old joke where a lecturer is telling the audience about how two affirmatives never make a negative in English, and a voice is heard "Yeah yeah". I guess you could try "You don't like me, do you?" "No no, I do!". But whatever's said, the meaning would be determined mostly by the tone of voice, facial expression, body language etc
Twitter and Google (& YouTube) have systematically removed ISIS content and redirected these people to messages/sites that are designed to disrupt and deprogram their ideology. They’ve done this effectively for years. They choose not to apply this approach to white supremacy.

Most democracies have limits on freedom of speech. Do you think Germany is not a democracy for disallowing some references to Nazism? Do you think Finland is not a democracy since we can and have fined persons for "inciting against groups of people"? Let alone for slander and such.
Okay, but does it actually get you through HR? I'm not writing a "fancy" resume because I like it; I wanna get hired.
As much as possible, we are trying to keep things simple and implement our service in a standard way.

One suggestion was to use a POST instead. On the surface, it seems like a Get with request body seems like such a straight forward approach that I am hoping that this will eventually become standard.

As far as I can tell, the only argument against this approach is that it is not standard. If it was a common approach and there was consistently 3rd-party support, would there be a problem with this approach?

"Peer review" nowadays refers almost exclusively to prepublication review by people other than the editor. This was still relatively rare at the beginning of the 20th century.

If you name a famous publication prior to 1900, it almost certainly was published without peer review.
Excellent writing, I really enjoyed the content of the post and the way it’s written.

This phrase particularly stood out to me:

> We are stronger by considering the opposite first.

That’s something I’m not very good at, but work hard to do. In many situations I have a tendency to assume I’m right, and that as soon as my interlocutor understands my argument, they will see I’m right. “I’m a rational person and I believe X, so if you don’t believe X you must be irrational.” So I spend lots of time clarifying my argument, and it gets nowhere.

By genuinely spending a larger proportion of my time thinking about others’ points of view, I arrive at better solutions.
It is fascinating how we are moving from traditional ads, as everyone has grown an automatic negative response, into these more subtle experiences. So instead of a video of Coke, we would have a fun filter that puts a bottle of coke in your hand.

The whole GIF movement is relevant too, as it allows advertisement to penetrate something they weren't able before: Private Messaging.
Yes, that seems to be the alternative. That is what we probably will do if there looks like a reasonable chance that devops will move to a 3rd party tool that does not support GET with a request body.
Of all the advice articles I’ve read, most of them are contrite, seemingly obvious and not actionable.

This one was pretty good. Not going to argue it’s all gold, but she did a great job of putting some thought into it.
Is this python specific? Usually I replace the whole module with mock instead of the functions of it.
No fees and better UX are the main selling points.

It might shine for foreign transactions: no fee (usually 2%) + 1% cashback seems pretty good. If we're being realistic though, they'll probably have a terrible FX spread.
Neutrality is not support
How the MMEL (FAA) and MEL (operator model-specific version) works is that anything NOT required for safe flight is listed in the MEL. Otherwise everything would have to be 100% working.

So I would not expect MCAS to be listed in the MEL since it's required for safe flight.

We'll see.
> Places where no one is sure who owns what, or who is responsible for what are unlikely to have proper monitoring and much more likely to be two or three upgrades behind. The seams are where things get lost, sometimes for years. So if your mandate is security or availability the seams are your best bet of finding a big pay off.

So true. Sometimes there's a person behind the scenes keeping it all working with bailing wire and elbow grease, but that person is also a huge point of failure.
Warcraft gold, sure. RMB, I hope not.

When you charge your credit card, on the bank's books these are marked as retail credit. The bank expect this portion of their portfolio to consist of consumer expenses and manages default risks accordingly.

Banks also provide credit for currencies / investments, but those are containerized in another portion of the portfolio with different risk management practices.

Mixing these two portfolios together will make risk management tricky.
if the target production environment doesn't disable it, then your performance tests also shouldn't
I've heard this. I am clear why it is true. I would appreciate it if you could explain. :-)

I'm not clear why using parameters in the GET request body would do weird things with the cache but using parameters in the POST request body will not hit these issues.
> no-one would seriously advocate taking away all guns

While I believe this to be true, virtually any sort of "turn in some of your guns" event in the USA would... not be viewed with any nuance at all. Even machine guns were more-or-less exempt from turn-in, provided they were registered by a certain time. Moreover there are already very, very many semi-automatic pistols, revolvers, rifles, and shotguns in circulation--it's not as if a lot of folks have a bolt-action 22 cal rifle and just a few have semi-automatics--the sort of guns that can be fired and reloaded somewhat rapidly, that's what we've got. Setting aside the fact that a rifle is more powerful and aim-able, but harder to conceal, compared to a pistol, I'm not sure what characteristic of a "bad" gun the American government could successfully put forth.

All that said--from whom would you propose to confiscate what guns?

> Another issue is with your stated statistic of death via mass shooting. This obviously ignores maimings and other non-deaths, and also deaths from guns in non-mass events, such as burglaries, accidents.

Well, agreed! Mass shootings and terror attacks inflict many fewer casualties on the American population compared to robberies, gang and drug violence, alcohol and smoking, fatty foods, traffic accidents and DUI, swimming pools, etc. However, it does not seem to me that these other perils are used to buttress the case for banning the instruments of such trouble. I don't mean to be glib, and indeed it is hard to imagine a bad actor using an undoctored swimming pool against innocents, but it does seem to be the case that the electorate lacks the will to stamp out certain risks. And this lack of will is not really related to the measurable impact of the problem.

> What happens to a young child's mind from having to participate in active shooter drills?

We could reflect on the schoolhouse duck-and-cover drills for nuclear war in the 1950s and 1960s--like, isn't contemplating nuclear annihilation and nuclear winter much more terrifying and existentially dreadful than locking the classroom door? Maybe it isn't a good idea to traumatize children with visions of a terrible but statistically very remote fate. On the other hand, local police and school districts must be seen to be doing something, so maybe it is practically unavoidable.
I feel like it’s crap all the way down. The context thing again, the quote from the most expensive and disconnected private school in the country, the suspiciously low number of words in the language. It’s just someone trying to be clever by pushing poncifs.

By throwing up their hands and claiming that it's too hard to implement.

8ch is not running a highly sophisticated software stack. (Quite honestly, their code [1] is pretty terrible -- it's a bunch of frameworkless, hacked-together PHP.) Nothing about their setup is especially elaborate or unusual; at best, "we can't ban content" is an admission of their incompetence.

A paraphrase of the html title might be better than the current submission title, e.g.

An interview with Bobby Murphy, cofounder of Snap
8chan was created to provide a platform for content that wouldn't be accepted else where.
Historically they put on white hoods and gathered in person, the internet only changed the game for relatively small but geographically dispersed groups. I wouldn't be surprised if this type of person still met predominantly IRL and 8chan is mostly a few loners, it tends to net be the most tech literate bunch of people.
In addition, the market makers gain profit from this activity by buying at a slightly lower price than the selling price.
Isn't it simply brain looking at the edges of things? If a building doesn't have edges inside it then we look at its silhouette.
That’s a good point. Thoughts can be dangerous. My post only works if you have a bias against thought-crime.

As an aside, if someone’s thoughts are ill-intentioned, you should be able to dispel them by forcing an honest examination of everything.
I thought this was going to be about a SIM porting scam victim, but I was wrong - it's about a patent troll.
There are a couple of ways of interpreting this question.. but to answer the literal question of why not call malloc/free direcly:
See https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/memory.html - it supports custom user-supplied memory allocators, so calling malloc() and free() directly would break this.

Recently, after Youtube responded to Steven Crowder's harassment of a gay reporter who works for Vox named Carlos Maza, a number of independent youtube personalities who comment on news mentioned they had their videos demonetized. This included people who are on the left. Here's an example and someone I follow[0]. It's not quite what you're talking about, but it's an example of how trying to moderate speech or chill it affects everyone who isn't already an established player (CNN,MSNBC,etc) regardless of their ideology.

It turns out that the new glassy exteriors, whether boxy or round, are really tough on the brain—difficult for it to take in.

I'd say it is the exact opposite: no one will focus on flat nearly-featureless surfaces, because there is no fine detail to focus on. It's easy to "take in" at a glance, so the brain doesn't direct any more attention to it.

"The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it."

As if "The Net" is a perfect, neutral, self-supporting entity that behaves with mathematic predictability rather than a projection of the chaotic human society on which its existence depends.

There is a widespread habit among futurists and technologists, perhaps arising from an appreciation for semantic economy and the anonymizing instinct to downplay associations between oneself and one's assertions, to use the passive voice when concocting reductive maxims of this sort.

I believe many of the moral blind spots of technocratic thinking are connected to the peculiar tendency - revealed by this passive voice framing habit - to overlook or outright dismiss the role that human inputs play in the complex systems futurists propose as solutions to human problems.
Could you be more specific what loophole?

I am in a similar situation, I am full time employed (as a developer) by 1 person GmbH. I work with a tax agency that has not said anything about this.

Kicking out and not providing service isn't the same thing as censoring. One is customer-driven, the other is content-driven.

You can kick a customer out because they espouse certain views or whatever, and it's fine to call it discriminatory, but it's not censorship. This isn't usually a relevant distinction, but here it is because Cloudflare hasn't built "a system that is technically possible for someone to censor".

They could, and thank fuck they don't, because that would absolutely be the day I'm getting off Cloudflare.
they have innate understanding that being observed working is more valuable than the results of their work.

I've seen coders who knew this by heart forget this less than 5 years after entering management and become champions of forcing everybody into the office for 8:30 stand-ups and time tracking systems that enforce minute by minute "project accountability".

I don't know exactly how this happens, all I know is its like a damn force of nature. The only thing I've ever seen kill morale and tank projects faster is random periodic layoffs.

Apple Card has no fees at all. Not even a late fee. And privacy is far ahead of competitors. Competitors sell your purchase history everywhere. You also get the virtual numbers, you can change your number any time you want and customer support is via iMessage without the nonsense of the "Press 1 for your balance" phone systems common for more credit cards.

It also comes down to trusting Capital One etc. with your data, vs. trusting Apple.

>but you can't both be for something like net neutrality while simultaneously spouting this argument that "private companies can do whatever they want".

One can definitely pick and choose what you want to support, all those laws did exactly the same. Charities are 'picked and chosen' not to pay taxes, even though they are basically private companies. I don't see a contradiction between supporting net neutrality and supporting Cloudflare's decision.

>We have literally centuries of laws that specifically say that no, companies cannot do whatever they want just because they are private

We have literally centuries of law stating that 'Neo-Nazi White Supremacists' isn't a protected class, hence can be refused service.

If and when this is abused by companies causing real problems which society thinks is unacceptable, new laws will be passed restricting discriminating against neo-Nazis.

Maybe write to your local congressman and senator asking them to pass a law forcing Cloudflare to serve neo-Nazis.
There are two connected but distinct problems this thread touches on, freedom of speech and the actual utility nature of modern internet companies. Both are problems here and of course, the internet companies don't want to face either. Although the Cloudfare case is a bit different since it isn't quite a monopoly, yet.

If StockX was using phpass (which is a KDF that uses MD5 as a base but adds multiple permutations on top), it is quite a bit safer (but still not recommended and these hashes should be considered to be compromised).

The bigger issue is if they were actually using raw MD5 (which is sadly quite common), which is benchmarked at 25 billion (with a B) hashes per sec per GPU.

Under your interpretation, would I be allowed to say that it’s evident that there are (nontrivial, sometimes cognitive) innate group differences between the sexes, or between racial groups? If you’re convinced that such a statement would simply be “libelous”, I can’t get on board with your idea. As far as I can tell, the current state of affairs is this: the science suggests rather strongly that there are indeed innate differences both between the sexes and among various racial groups; despite this, any statement to that effect is loudly denounced as “pseudoscience”. In other words, I believe that the current popular consensus regarding innate group differences is factually incorrect, but also believed in very strongly. So if that’s your angle, I think that your idea has reached its “dystopia scenario”—truthful speech being prohibited because it is falsely deemed libelous—right out of the gate.

"You might notice that when h is very close to 0, the slope of the line very closely matches the graph of f(x)"

Huh?

"and therefore, the slope of the line very closely matches the growth rate of the function as well."

Growth rate? What's that?

"Notice that as h gets close to zero, the secant line almost perfectly matches the growth of f at point A. "

Not sure what this means...

"For instance, in this situation we can study the limit of the slope of g when h tends to 0. As we can see, the limit of the slope of g as h tends to 0 is 4."

Wait... where is this 4 coming from?

"From this, we can conclude that the growth rate of the function f at x=2 is 4."

What the hell is growth???

"Sometimes limits are obvious like this one"

And now I give up.
I've seen that, and the opposite as well, where you have a huge team of people constantly working and yet mysteriously nothing gets done and managers aren't sure what people are doing on a day to day basis.
We are talking about legal speech which is being de-platformed because it's unpopular. And not just a particular kind of speech, but the entire platform on which speech in general takes place.

If it were prohibited speech or if the platform was illegal, this article would not exist and neither would this discussion.

A pretty distinct contrast to the prohibited speech in your examples.

Do you support the idea of giving fetuses legal rights and using this to sue the mother?* After all, once we give human legal rights to rivers quite a lot of the typical arguments become irrelevant in the other context.

Ultimately, people support this absurd idea because they like the results, but the abuse of the legal system is going to reverberate. I don't think you'd like the results of not having a functioning legal system.

* Don't think merely of the typical pro-life/pro-choice wrangling. Think of suing the mother for bad lifestyle decisions which may or may not affect the child once born. So many opportunities for a creative lawyer.
