1) Of course they will. If they are willing to support terrorist, appearing a bit like an asshole online is not going to be a problem for them.

2) The point about not censoring opinions is not about these opinions being valid, it is about the tools you give the government to decide what should be considered terrorism or not.

In France, after the mass shootings, the government took some anti-terrorist measures and almost immediately used these laws to shut down some ecologists protestors around the COP21 meeting.

I am fine with many outlets deciding that they don't want to publish racist crap but I am also happy that places like 4chan and 8chan are legal. If you go there, you know it is a sewer but total censorship on internet implies very dystopian filtering capabilities. There is nothing governments would like more than the ability to shut down whistleblowers under the pretense of fighting terrorism.

Can you describe what you mean a bit more in concrete terms? For a second there I thought someone had posted the manifesto here, imagining it is a vague story as well.

What concrete examples do you have of misrepresentation of the situation in the media for example? I believe you when you say that something is wrong, but giving concrete examples will help drive your message home.

"written in C" is not compatible with "basics for anyone who isn't a computer scientist", IMO. It just gets you so bogged down with low level details which is not necessary for an introductory course.

I still haven't found a better introductory text than Appel's "Modern Compiler Implementation in ML". I also like pairing this with "Language Implementation Patterns", which uses ANTLR.
Could be wrong, but edgy jokes + Poe's Law (sarcasm is uncertain online) would be a strong attractant for actual * ists. They may use it all for plausible deniability cover, but I bet many don't even realize most posts are just joking and think they've discovered an underground movement of people like them. Either way, your outlook changes when you go from the only one with unpopular thoughts that you have to hide to one of an untold multitude in which you can freely express those thoughts and have them validated and reinforced.

An HN post 3mo back was insightful in this regard: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19847437

What I don't know (and am interested to) is this: do * ists on such sites gain members mostly by other * ists finding the community or by converting trolls? Because those two pathways have very different antidotes.
Even if they consider "3" to be "mass" it's a bit alarming.
I recently found a cassette of recordings of bedtime stories that my dad made with me over 30 years ago. I played it back on a ~15 year old very cheap “stereo”. The quality was excellent.
You start out by making relatively innocent jokes about jews, and notice that certain portions of the anglosphere left and right really respond to this. Not only do they tell you that you can't say that, they also shower you with threats of violence. Successful troll is successful. So you go a bit further, start moving into actual anti-semitic jokes, conspiracies. Still just for the lulz, but it gets an even better reaction. Meanwhile, your image board/irc buddies, the only people in your life who treat you like a real human being, keep egging you, some of them pointing to the reactions you're getting as proof that there's some kind of underlying truth behind the jokes. "Yeah, sure, the protocols of the elders of zion isn't real, but look at the reactions you're getting for what amounts to lazy trolling! And from people with actual power - political power, media power, financial power..."

I think you can see where it goes from here - the road to hell isn't always paved with good intentions, but when turning around means accepting that the people who hate you are right, what are you going to do?
I don't see how it's related to inequality. I don't think any of these shooters were poor or went through poverty. For this incident the press showed pictures of a big single family home in suburban Dallas.

People here seem to be missing a few things.

1: The 737 family, including the 737 MAX, still use manual/hydraulic controls, not fly-by-wire. A computer failure isn't supposed to be as catastrophic as it would in a fully fly-by-wire system. 737 pilots are already trained on other automatic system failures, such as a pitch trim motor runaway.

2: The original design of MCAS had a limited scope - stop pitch instabilities from causing an uncontrolled pitch-up into a stall in high AoA and high power regimes, such as just after takeoff. It read from both a G-sensor and the AoA vane and both sensors had to be reading excessive values for the system to trigger. This was probably the justification for not requiring higher levels of reliability.

3: The plane was found to have handling issues in slow flight regimes. In order to improve the handling, Boeing engineers modified MCAS to be active in more of the flight regime, removing one of the sensor readings. Now it would trigger if it detected the plane was near a stall, even in level flight without a high G loading. It is unclear whether MCAS was recertified within Boeing for continuous use. Wikipedia states "The FAA did not conduct a safety analysis on the changes. It had already approved the previous version of MCAS, and the agency's rules did not require it to take a second look because the changes did not affect how the plane operated in extreme situations."

4: Pilots could not disable MCAS without disabling electric trim control. In at least the LionAir case, the pilots did disable the electric trim, but were unable to re-trim the plane manually against the aerodynamic forces of their dive. They re-enabled the electric trim to re-trim the aircraft, and MCAS re-triggered and put them back in the same situation. Remember, these aircraft use manual controls. The pilots need to put a serious amount of force into the control column when the plane is out of trim and at a high airspeed. This greatly diminishes their ability to do anything else.

5: Both accident aircraft were missing an optional safety feature - the AoA disagree warning. Both aircraft experienced a failure of one of their AoA vanes. I don't recall whether these failures happened in flight or before the flight, but such a warning would have likely stopped the pilots from taking off.

6: The single computer issue was not uncovered until simulator testing after the crashes. It is not directly related to the MCAS problems.

Oh, I'm not saying find a screenshot because it encourages them less, I'm saying find a screenshot because if you go there you risk being mentally scarred, to say nothing if someone sees it in your internet history or you're dumb enough to visit it on a corporate network or work laptop/phone. That would be a well-deserved firing, if not for being a racist then for being a moron.

>Why are we sparing white-nationalist propaganda?

Racist propaganda doesn't violate anyone's rights and is hence protected speech. Imminent threats and specific calls to violence are a different matter.
> You start by joking that you are a jew-hating nazi and then after a while you become an actual jew-hating nazi. How does that work psychologically?

Confirmation bias.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias

Also, the tendency of emotional events to imprint more strongly on ones memory than less emotional events.

If I'm with my friends, having a good time and joking about being a Nazi, maybe I remember that more strongly when I think "Nazi." Vs the horrific historical details I only read in a book.

Couple that with escalation of commitment, and you essentially have 8chan in a nutshell.
you sound more distraught than hopeful, so let me add some perspective. what's amazing is that relative to opportunity, terrorism (and mass shootings as a subset) is extremely rare. many, many things will kill you (or a loved one) before terrorism will (accidental shooting, drowning, overdose, heart attack, car accident, etc.). while we all do have a violent side, we are a remarkably empathetic and social species who largely follow cultural and moral rules for the good of the whole.

on your last point, it wasn't terrorism or just zenophobia that caused genocide, but state actors (and their leadership) lusting for power, notoriety, and wealth. that's rare too, since it took a perfect storm of many bad circumstances and decisions (from what i understand).

that's not to say don't be vigilant or push for change (since rare doesn't mean impossible). just don't feel hopeless or a sense of despair that things are somehow so much worse now.

> lots of what was "relation to artist/album" is lost

I've literally no clue what this means or why it might matter. I love music, but it comes off an album and is produced by an artist. I could not care less about the album, or the artist (other than to pay them for their work).

What is this 'relation' thing and what is it's relevance?
Murders are frequently family and gang related. Mass shootings of random people are a different thing altogether.

How many murders in 1980 were of people that the killer did not know personally?
We could talk about how this is largely a mental health problem. A lot of depressed young men do stupid risky stuff with no concern for their own well-being. I know a few guys who have wrapped their cars around trees. I bet most shooters were just throwing in the towel in a more hateful and dramatic way.

I see the main issue as a marketing problem for psychology. Men are focused on solving problems, and I'd bet they see psychology as a bunch of talk-therapy (like it's portrayed on TV shows and movies). Women might want to talk about their problems to find some kind of scapegoat, but men would often rather solve them. The ironic thing is, modern therapy is often quite problem-solving focused.

A related issue seems to be that a lot of these guys can't talk to women. As in, they can't ask women out. It's rarely their personalities or looks (look at domestic violence perpetrators if you want to see how awful you can be and still find a girlfriend), it's often that no-one wants to tell them how to ask women out (except on certain dark corners of the internet).

Recognising and addressing these kinds of problems means humanising them though. We can humanise Palestinian terrorists and drug dealers, but can we really humanise depressed and nerdy young men? I dunno.

Yes we have redefined conservative to be anyone with whom we disagree.

The shooter posted about various 'concerns'. He was worried about environmental destruction caused by massive corporations and immigrants. This seems neither republican, Democrat, progressive, nor religious. The best description is eco nationalist but that doesnt even cover it.

Given the major figures in the conservative movement were criticized for not doing enough to hurt the corporations destroying the environment, I feel the shooter coukd as easily be attributed to the influence of sanders and the green new deal people as anyone else.

Interestingly enough, this concern over environmental destruction is a common thread of several past mass shootings, including gilroy, el paso, and new zealand. Many shooters echo the apocalyptic language used by the media.
There are other forms of inequality. For example, how many mass shooters are involuntarily celibate?
I was really touched to read your story. Thank you for sharing your challenges, and particularly around how you felt the only other option was to go back to school just to get the opportunities one would get by being a 'student'.

Here are answers to your questions:

-Most of our candidates will receive an offer in less than a week since we are able to shorten the interview cycle

-Yes definitely-- if a candidate doesn't like where they interned at, they are always welcome to come back on to our platform to get matched with more employers for a new internship

-We usually match employers with 2-4 candidates we think suit what they are looking for. We get them to interview them back to back (similar to the Waterloo co-op system) so they can evaluate and interview fairly, as well as make a decision quickly (hopefully by the end of that day)

-There is a penalty if an employer provides an offer to a candidate and in between the time they make an offer and the start date-- they pay half of the entire internship salary to the candidate

-Good last question-- this has not happened yet with us. Most employers are actually quite open and let our candidates know that they are allowed to interview and even accept other offers. I believe that most employers at the end of the day only want to hire candidates who want to be work for them, so if they are curious about other companies and want to take another offer, it probably wasn't a good fit to start with!

Thanks so much for your feedback, would love to answer any more questions you might have!
For my database course I had to write all queries in: SQL, Relational Algebra, and Datalog. I remember that Datalog was the easiest way of writing queries if you understood all the tricks. However, this was on paper, never executed on real databases.
So you're calling all conservatives extremists? Or just modern conservative idealogy? Shame on you either way.
Generally speaking, my advice is simply don’t use passwords at all. Use other methods that allow you to avoid them.

Any password that is chosen and easy enough to remember by a human being is one that is weak enough to be easily cracked, perhaps by well-known methods, or perhaps by more recent ones.

Let computers do what they do reasonably well, and don’t try to make humans do that job.

Specifically, one key is to use hardware tokens that have been tested and proven to be reasonably robust. You have to tie them into your authentication system, but hopefully that’s not too hard.

What about biometrics?

Well, don’t use biometrics as a password, because your finger or your eyeball can get taken from you, and you wouldn’t like the after effects. More importantly, if the biometrics for your finger or eyeball become compromised, then how do you change them? All of my fingerprints were compromised in the OPM data breach, because I worked for the DoD, and OPM was where all that information was stored. I’m sure there have been other major breaches of biometric data.

Biometrics, if you’re going to use them at all, are best used as the equivalent of a username. They identify who you claim to be, but they explicitly do not authenticate you. You may have my fingerprints, but my username is already pretty well known, and so having my fingerprints would be unlikely to help you there.

What else?

After all that, if you still have to use passwords, then try to use them as the final layer of security on top of all of the above. Don’t be dependent on them for your only security.

And where possible, use a good password manager program to remember and generate all of them for you, so that you minimize the human weakness of that part of the chain.

If by represent, you mean encode, yes! However, they certainly cannot be displayed. Imaginary primaries, which really stands for physically non-realisable colours, cannot be used to build a physical display that encompasses the Spectral Locus, i.e. more than three are required.

Now the reality is that those highly saturated colours are not very common in natural surfaces, a natural reflectance gamut such as Pointer's Gamut or SOCS show that no chromaticities reach the Spectral Locus.

Colours outside Pointer's Gamut are typically created with highly saturated emitters such as LEDs or lasers. Because they are spectrally sharp, Observer Metamerism is noticeable and two persons might experience very different visual perception for the same stimulus.

For example, Hackers News filters such things without govt intervention, as do Twitter, Facebook and Reddit to a lesser extent.

My big fear about implementing a text editor is writing a rope data structure to be able to edit large files. I don't really know if it's mandatory for all text editors though.

I was a little frustrated with sublime text folding code using indentation instead of syntax (there's an issue but they don't want to fix it). I have large C++ files, and it seems visual studio does a better jobs at folding.

That's a great idea - I will look into that. Perhaps even a little menu with a few different examples. One challenge is that the Playground is sandboxed, so the more interesting examples involving eg. SSH or scraping are mostly off limits.

Sure, yes. I don't like coding interviews that focus on super complicated algorithms where you get a massive advantage from already knowing the subject area, or require a sort of "a ha" realization to solve properly.

When I ask coding questions they tend to be fairly straightforward. Do some basic transformations on data, handle a couple of edge cases (bonus points if you can see the edges of your own code), that's about it.

Don't have candidates redo kmp or a read black tree from scratch on a whiteboard in 30 minutes. That doesn't tell you much about the candidate.

On the extreme other end though, don't use interview questions that rely on a huge amount of background or domain knowledge for your specific team (unless you really need an expert asap and can't ramp them up). You can't expect candidates to burn more than a day on your company.
