I found the pacing to be excellent, with complimentary exercises and that it was educational as both a cheatsheet and a coherent text. Learned a lot from it, despite being experienced from the outset.
Freedom of speech already existed when society at large was vastly less educated than today.
That sucks. I guess the solution is to publish preprints and move quickly. Then ignore scammy reviewers and publish elsewhere.

The credibility of the threat to murder is quite relevant for legal reasons, but I don't understand how there are people who are upset that she was banned from YouTube for this.

You know, I was going to argue against the above poster, but then I read your post here, and I think this is an excellent point. I think it's extremely reasonable to wonder how many folks would avoid feeling the need to go to a place like 8chan if they felt like more reasonable versions of their viewpoints could be represented in mainstream venues and subjected to healthy debate rather than aggressive and hostile deplatforming.
Because inclusion is trivial. Everyone is welcome.

The process of exclusion is what causes you to define the borders of acceptability, and allows participants to have a clear understanding of when they're at risk of being excluded. Then they'll weigh their wants vs the rules and make a decision about whether they value their ideas over the group membership. Then what you are left with is people who want to be in the group more than they want to follow their whims against the group's rules.
What are you on about? 8chan is pretty damn grassroots. The people on /pol/ definitely don't see themselves as backed by the institutions of social control; in their mythology, the insitutions of social control (eg. the mainstream media, Silicon Valley, banks) are all left-wing, "pozzed", and their enemies. They consider themselves a hated minority... because they are. What big institutions are backing 8chan?!

How can anyone possibly have a conversation with someone as radicalized as yourself? There is nothing I can say of value when your answer to: Would you become an intolerant evil man if presented the opportunity to? is "YES OFC! but there is a low chance of that happening atm..."
Agreed, but there is still so much you can do. You can make dictators liberalize their countries. You can make billionaires donate away their wealth. And so on.
exactly. Then (on top of that) there are real estate taxes (huge in CA, unless you bought 25 years ago), sales taxes, medicare and social security taxes.
This is a very broad assertion about laws that may differ from state to state. It gets even more complicated when you try to answer what "on your own time" means for a salaried worker, and when you consider the broad IP agreements that many companies give to their employees.

Could you point me to where I could read more, please? This doesn't match my current understanding, and it's a topic of interest for me. Thanks!
Is that really meant as the tragedy? I'm not sure to what extent it's really intended that way. Light's attitude to criminal justice is a distressingly realistic one in a country where 99% of arrests lead to confessions.

It really depends on the manager and the org. I've seen two or three folks put on a pip, strive to do better, and stay, becoming great contributors. I've also seen cases where they were set up to fail and the pip was just a cya for the org to justify the firing. It usually leans towards a firing or a "managing out."

But if I was Russia I'd be her patreon, the cynicism is funny, but it bleeds heavily into reality. It's propaganda of some sort, or part of its machinery.

>I wonder why tech people aren’t more interested in those jobs.

For all the hobgoblins and stories of bad-faith intent by big tech companies, they are still far more progressive than financial companies when it comes to things like hours, working arrangements, tenure, schooling, organizational hierarchy etc...

Find me a finance job that lets me work 100% remote and doesn't care I didn't attend $prestigiousCollege and... I'd suspect it'd end up being a tech company instead :-)
In my hometown in Russia they routinely grow these days the unreachable stuff of my childhood dreams like apricots, sweet cherries, etc. Though the children there can't ski cross country in winter anymore for the lack of snow.

There is more temperature increase needed though for the majority of the country to become apricot (or even wheat) growing, and so if you've noticed Russia doesn't waste time/effort on climate talks/etc. - it pumps the oil like crazy instead, tries to develop its North/East and builds new weapons, including the systems intended for the North/East territories which are going to become more used (and contested) with the coming and increasing warming. For those who know the Russian jokes, that is an optimistic version of the future. Never mind some minor bumps along the road https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/oct/14/thawing-perma...

Something relevant in my opinion is that companies could be upfront about it. If you do not want to host despicable content you can say that you reserve the right to terminate accounts for such and such reasons.

Youtube has as a policy that they will demonetize/ban you if you bring in bad PR (which has been abused by media company).
If a company is orders of magnitudes better at providing value for consumers such that competitors can't even keep up and go out of business, is that anti-trust behavior?
Twitter Bot Artists (2017)
Neil Degrasse Tyson is catching quite a bit of flack for pointing out such things.

I do believe his point is that we obsessively turn specific events into front page news, while completely ignoring / normalizing other more common tragic numbers. Maybe if we dwelled equally on human excellence, we'd see a sudden rise in front page excellence.
Better title: "Senators demand companies stop finding workarounds to outdated labor laws"
I can see why it seems that way but no one has been able to explain to me why Microsoft was pursued for antitrust litigation and Google was not for doing the exact same thing. Maybe instead of accusing someone of stirring up reactions, explain the double standard.
20 people had their lives abruptly ended while they where attempting to complete mundane errands at a WalMart and this is what you have to add to this conversation?

Fuck you, just saying.
I'm very far from an expert as well, but as I see you could have automatic currying in the same way I can write in Julia x -> f(x, 10) (manual currying using anonymous function) but automatically for every function. But the language would have to disallow using them for dispatch purposes:

f :: (Int -> Double) -> Int -> Double

That would have to dispatch to

f(::Function(::Int, ::Double), ::Int)::Double

Now the dispatch will have to be recursive (it will have to apply to each argument and arguments arguments to evaluate which is more specialized), making finding the most specialized version of a function even more chaotic. I'm trying not to think what dispatching on return types means for the compiler though (and that's not necessary for the auto currying).

And because of the currying, if you apply the first argument you'd have a (g :: Int -> Double) which has the memory of receiving (Int -> Double). But now trying to dispatch on another function with that partial will it dispatch as if it were a normal Int -> Double or will the "knowledge" of receiving a previous argument change which method it will pick?

To be honest I have no idea, it's probably possible but it feels like it would be something very different from Julia.
You may not. But others certainly do. Otherwise recycled toilet paper wouldn't be stocked.

Beyond that, to use the same analogy, one brand might be dump their bleaching agents in the ocean.

It's up to the companies if they want to trumpet their behavior loudly or say nothing about it. And it's up to consumers if they care about whatever type of behavior is involved.
Perhaps because taxation is theft?
Excellent choice.

To extend on a related topic, I've made it a general principle for me to read a counterparty's contract(s) as a work product and evaluation of how they do business.

If the terms are balanced rights & responsibilities on both sides (e.g., 'both parties will treat x as y, and in no case with lesser care than their own x') that is one indicator (hopefully among many) that they try to do business fairly.

In contrast, if the clauses appear to be written to all take maximum advantage to their side, and minimize any rights I/we have, then I treat that as a huge red flag to not work/do business with them. If they are very amenable to balancing edits, I may relent, but it it's just those terms or hit the road, I'm gone....
They're each (arguably) a monopoly in their own principal market(s) which (mostly) aren't the same.

You're not buying toilet paper from Apple.

You're not searching the internet with Amazon.

For the discussion to make sense, you have to specify which market you're looking at -- a company can have a monopoly in one market (e.g. search) but not in another (e.g. mobile phones).

US stock market just had its worst day of 2019
Depends a little on what you mean by “native controls”. The web platform doesn’t provide all of the controls the underlying OS provides (e.g. a list view), but it does provide some of the most important and common ones. A text box, for example, has the native look-and-feel by default—and feel is the most important part of that, for things like caret behaviour, keyboard shortcuts and touch behaviour; and you can customise its look easily. It’s not the native implementation, but what the browser implements matches the native implementation.
I'll take that argument seriously when it's accompanied by proposals to buy it out and nationalize it to run at cost rather than make a profit.
A few ideas for you to run with: Bond Funds, Preferreds (PFF,JPS), Business Development Companies (ex: GSBD), REITs, Munis, Utilities.

Some traditional companies also have lowish dividends, but they will of course compound over time, usually old-fashioned companies like banks or airlines. A good place to look is Warren Buffet's portfolio.
> societies should tolerate everything except intolerance

I disagree.

Societies are held together by common moral standards. Intolerance of anti-social/moral behaviour (compared to the accepted standard) should be accepted, even encouraged.

One of the reasons the US is falling apart at the seams is because of the 'as long as I want to do it, I should be allowed to" attitude. People don't care what others think.

An extreme (of sorts) is Japanese society... if you are out of line expect that you will hear about it immediately from many people and the negative consequences of bad behaviour can be very broad and long lasting.

That is exactly what was "de facto for most people for most of history"
I'm unsure.

Index funds with low expense costs are my personal strategy. While I'd love to retire now (early 30s), my realistic goal is to retire at 59. The plan I have now with moderate ROI allows that - patience while staying the course long-term with your financial plan is key.
Facebook and others focus an inane amount of energy in keeping up a "healthy place" facade. Even if 8chan was super meticulous on the rules I doubt it could pull off the same feat without comparable effort.
Chromebook doesn't have the market share that Windows had in the 90s. In the context of antitrust cases, market share matters.

Also note that Google's market share in search isn't relevant. Chromebook's market share in OSes is what matters for this particular case.
Yes Windows framework #935 has actually turned out to be pretty good.

Spent my entire career in <100 companies, I've worked with one pregnant woman in that time. She had a complicated pregnancy and was hassled almost exactly as in TFA, the head of HR allegedly played the "Well I've had two kids without needing extra leave" card.

Was definitely dumbfounded when I heard that one, but then I realize I've run into programmers with a "Well I learned [esoteric thing], why hasn't he?" Sad that people lack that level of empathy and introspection, we're all different in different ways. Your easy thing is someone's Mt. Everest.
It's a bit late for this thread, but Android Intents and the related WebIntents were kind of similar to OLE, but it seems neither captured the attention of the market.
I'm talking about this specific line.

It's not like this is the first line to be painted about what's allowed on the internet. There are already lines drawn prohibiting hosting child porn and selling illegal drugs online. Neither of those lines caused us to slip down a slope to an overly-censored internet.
> aren’t actively doing bad things

I guess if it happens overseas we can ignore it? That seems like a perspective that classifies companies in different light. At end of the day, these companies are all doing the same thing, trying to turn a profit (maximize revenue, minimize cost) in every legally possible way. Unless we have evidence these companies are breaking the law, we are debating ethics which simply allows for you to pick your vantage point and easily say "ignore all of the contract labor" which is unfair for some and better vantage for other comapnies.

First, this is obviously hilariously bad from a system perspective (un-authenticated/unauthorized rebind of lock) [1]

OTOH it appears the problem is entirely server side, and could be patched/mitigated by the provider?

It still seems possible that the lock is secure-ish. It might conceivably have some form of anchored trust (pinned cert?) to communicate with the server - and a secure/better rekey flow could maybe be implemented?

Still sounds crazy to delegate authorization entirely to the cloud (I'm guessing you can open the lock wo internet, but not re-key).

I'm not even crazy about "find my phone"-services - and that's considering the vendor typically owns the hw, the kernel and can push updates (ie: all bets are off anyway).

[1] I'm also curious about the "lock code" field in the data - does the service advertise the pin if you give the correct serial/hw ID of the lock? Or something else?
Keep in mind: 40k is a limiting factor relative to the tiny amount of capital yc is willing to risk on any given team's hard science startup.
>Chromebook does the same thing without consequences

It's not the same at all. Microsoft were forced to unbundle IE from Windows because they were using their market dominance in one area (operating systems) to give themselves an artificial advantage in another area (web browsers). This bundling shielded IE from competition and squeezed other players out of the web browser market. Apple are within their rights to bundle Safari with MacOS, because MacOS only has a minority market share; same goes for ChromeOS. You can't be sanctioned for exploiting a dominant market position if you don't have a dominant market position.

The classical theory has been that it doesn't matter if you dominate the market if you don't cause some harm (i.e., actively exclude competition or raise prices) as a result.
Yep, wasn't disagreeing; adding confirmation.
Most subsistence farmers, both historically and throughout the world today, had poor and limited diets. They typically depend on a single staple crop for most calories. It's effectively equivalent to living in a food desert even when growing their own food. Hunger and malnutrition are common, especially when the crop fails due to bad weather or pests.

Since the human race transitioned from hunter gatherers to farmers it has never been easy to have nothing.

And I'll try again. Responding to "corporations can censor you" by saying "we should therefore break the First Amendment and let government censor" is bizarre if you're pro-free speech.

I get "neither should be able to censor" as a position, even if I disagree with it. I don't get "I value free speech and thus want the government to be the speech arbiter" at all.

Ironically enough, the two companies that I do have a semblance of qualifications for - Amazon as an AWS Solutions Architect or sales role and maybe Microsoft never reach out to me.

Especially since my profile is fairly buzzword compliant with the profile of an AWS SA.

If you think 8chan and 4chan haven't made it uniquely easy for groups like this to spread their message, you're being deliberately naïve. It's not about eradicating the behavior entirely, because yes, that's not truly possible. It's about making it more difficult for people to be recruited and radicalized. Just because you have the right to not go to jail for being racist doesn't mean you have the right to spread those views anywhere and everywhere, and when it has a proven link to encouraging violent behavior it crosses the line IMO.
