> a return to a professionalized work environment, one in which sociopolitical and personal opinions are kept to oneself and the focus is purely on the work.

This (a) may or may not really have existed in the austere sense you're describing it, and (b) if it did exist, it existed in a world where people had much stronger community life than they do now. In a world where everyone is atomized, where nobody knows their neighbours, nobody attends church (and if they do, their neighbours don't, so it doesn't achieve the goal), and so forth... is it any wonder that people have turned to those who they spend 8 hours a day with for some sort of socialization?

If we "return" to not discussing anything with our peers and just being professional robots, to avoid 'chaos', we'll have lost our last healthy outlet for this sort of thing. Expect more depression, more radicalization, etc. when the only people who provide you with what feels like genuine social expression are those you find online who agree with you already.

> it seems to mostly result in chaos

I attribute this far more towards the current climate of virtue signalling: being outraged or outraged-on-behalf-of-others brings you social rewards, stimulating the part of your brain that evolved to feel good when you are socially accepted. We're abusing our own chemical reward mechanisms in an unhealthy way; where in the past people used to have thicker skin and knew it was unacceptable to get outraged in a professional environment, now people see it as part of the package, and HR backs them up.

You want a return to professionalism, let's fix that, rather than stripping work of its social components.

Just because a case involves publication it does not mean that legal concepts developed therein only apply to that. Anyhow, the quoted P.G. and J.H. vs The United Kingdom in my last reply specifically deals with surveillance. You may find the court's arguments nonsensical but you can't stand by the fact that this has never been a concept anywhere. It certainly is a concept there. I even quoted you the court's assessment that when talking about public places you have to consider their "reasonable expectations as to privacy".

No, it doesn't seem that way to me.

No, I think he's saying that them having something to say about every news item imaginable except the one that resonated with him in that way (well, other than their dismissal of the protest) was alienating and distancing independent of what motivated it.
Yep, back in the SOAP days we used to have a lot of XML flying around that would need to be converted into one format or another via XSLT.

Great to see coal phasing out but I feel like the risks of natural gas have not been well publicized, data regarding methane leaks from natural gas is sketchy at best and fracking has almost certainly caused more frequent earthquakes (albeit small on the Richter scale) at sites.

Big oil pushes natural gas as a bridge energy, and despite lots of skepticism towards them I think they're correct. The window where natural gas is a plurality of global energy consumption has to be as small as possible.
It was literally a national story 2 or 3 weeks ago about a cop who suffocated and killed a white guy who called the cops on himself because he was off his medication, having a mental health episode, and needed help.

Also we are currently at a point where you can find weekly stories about police abusing Latino people (typically in conjunction with ICE). No idea how you came to the conclusion that these stories are unpublished.
I'm sold on meditating being beneficial. This article is a reminder that I need to start doing it regularly again. How difficult it is for me is probably a reflection of how much I need it.

I wonder about some of the _negative_ effects of meditation. Actually, I don't even mean negative, but just effects period. For example, does it make you less aggressive? In many ways this is a good thing but there are also benefits to being aggressive.

> So, while you sit there waiting for the perfect solution (which is completely unrealistic) people actively working on real solutions.

This isn't true. No one is arguing we should sit around and wait for a perfect solution, and that's a really dishonest framing of this article.

The argument is that electric cars are over-weighted as a solution, and it's one I see all the time. Not only that, but it directly conflicts with other goals. In the US, cities and states are still investing in expanding highway and car-based infrastructure at a time when we desperately need to be moving away from car-centric cities. Infrastructure is expensive and time-consuming to build, so putting resources into car-centric infrastructure means that a) we will be stuck with car-centric cities for a long time, and b) there will be less money for non-car infrastructure. If instead, we stopped building new car infrastructure and poured our efforts into non-car infrastructure, we'd be much better off.

The problem is, in the USA at least, there is a legal right to Fair Use of copyrighted works. Analysis of Fair Use issues is not simple and is impossible to automate. Music companies have been consistently breaking the law with their claims. The law requires them to do a proper Fair Use analysis prior to lodging any complaint under the DMCA. While it might be possible for Google to automate removal of a given scrap of music from a video, and providing that as an option to the music companies as an alternative to blocking the entire video or disabling monetization might be a good idea, it leaves a few problems on the table. Music companies would still be legally obligated to perform proper Fair Use analysis on every single video they do this to. Additionally, there is no such thing as a central copyright registry that Google could use to verify that the people filing the claims have any right. Googles systems can be, and actively are, abused. It's the sort of situation that I imagine Google really dislikes, as the law in this area is basically impossible to automate. So, they will probably just automate destruction of Fair Use because the groups most likely impacted have fewer resources to fight it.
That's a fine argument as a reply to a completely different post, than the one you replied to.

You're replying to a post about content networks lacking a legal framework to operate under, by complaining that hate content is currently poorly defined and content networks can do whatever they choose.

> Police brutality happens to white people and latino people as well (at lower rates, but in greater numbers), but such stories wouldn't psychologically trigger/racially divide people and so they remain unpublished

Law enforcement abuse stories about treatment of white and (especially) Latino people are published regularly (rarely, with white people, is there a basis even for suspicion that the act is racially motivated), and frequently are divisive (even, if when it is about whites, not usually about race/ethnicity).
Hey! We appreciate the support, and I hope that this response will highlight the fact that we're engineers by trade, and are completely data-driven. We're not going to be selling anything, until there's the peer-reviewed research to back it up. Here's where we're at:

- Speed isn't so much of a problem. Accuracy is by-far the most important piece of this puzzle. I think it will be between 12-18 months until we see real, robust, repeatable science to discuss the accuracy of testing in breath.

- Legal implications of a cannabis breathalyzer are all based on two things: 1. use cases and 2. geographic location. Whether the device will be used for pre-arrest or post-arrest is something we're working on understanding better.

- There is a lot of work still to do on determining our false-positive rate. We're actually going to be doing an IRB approved human trial later this year, and we'll report back to you with our findings and the full report!

- Regarding open sourcing our tech- to be honest, we haven't really thought about this yet. Might be a good way improve transparency? We're definitely not opposed!

- That's also a great question. Our tech is most useful in places where it's already legal. So that's where we'll start.

Hope this helps!
You do know that journalists do stings quite frequently, yes? It's a very common tactic and frequently deployed against politicians, business people etc. So Veritas tried to do a sting on the WP and failed, so what? You're acting like it's immoral or implies untrustworthyness but it doesn't. I've never seen that be argued before. Perhaps journalists don't like the taste of their own medicine?
Yes, the later books about ozma and the underground kingdom are fantastic.
If you look at how long it takes to build a nuclear plant and compare it to the carbon budget we have left you'll find out that you can't build enough nuclear plants in the remaining time.

> Of all the crazy ways for WWIII to start, a land grab over Greenland would be one of the strangest - at least from today's vantage point. But in just a few years, Greenland could become a flashpoint in world politics.

Greenland and Iceland have been strategically important for US/NATO since at least WW2. Keflavik is and was an essential base for ASW (anti-submarine) patrols in the North Atlantic, a waystation for ferrying aircraft from the Americas to Europe, and a variety of other uses.

Russia establishing a military presence on Greenland would be something akin to their attempt to base ballistic missiles in Cuba in terms of US national security.

If the Danes are amenable to transferring ownership to the US, then I think it would probably make total sense from a national security perspective. It seems to me that it would be a mistake to try to include it as a state, but allowing it to continue functioning as an autonomous possession would make far more sense than even trying to make it a territory (a'la Puerto Rico or the US Virgin Islands), especially given its low population and longstanding cultural ties to Europe. The current annual subsidy from Denmark is "only" about a half billion US Dollars. The US federal budget for FY2018 was $4.094 trillion, so that would be a whopping 0.125% increase.

Thinking about it in those terms, it would make sense for the US to buy it and increase investment into their economy purely as a hedge against potential drastic climate change and to guarantee a base of military operations in the North Atlantic.
I think you and other commenters are responding to the "solve it all at once argument" without it being put forward by the article.

The article does not claim that electric cards do not reduce emissions sufficiently to solve the problem of climate change all at once. It claims that electric cars increase emissions and that increasing emissions exacerbates the problem of climate change.

It's not saying that electric cars are only a partial solution. It's saying that they are part of the problem.

If your credibility is determined by your skin color, that says more about the audience.
Be aware there is no “legal definition” of fair use. There are four factors that would typically be considered together as a defense against a claim of copyright infringement. Which isn’t quite the same thing.
Ah yes, the famous "I meant to do that!" defense.
I agree. Fat shaming for software. Otherwise you'll end up with a terminal emulator written with electron. Oh wait, that already exists.

But seriously. If you don't tell people politely and explain what and why it's wrong, they'll never know that what they're doing could be better. Just ranting and shaming might not be the best way. Still I agree with all the NodeJS hate.
In all seriousness, my opinion is shaped by experience. I once worked at a startup burning through VC money, run by a Harvard MBA CEO. It was ridiculously wasteful. And these things were obvious to us down in the trenches.

Granted, they don't teach frugality, and these degrees are fairly useless for startups in particular, if not harmful.

> I suspect in my lifetime governments will need to create better frameworks for content networks. The whole "they're a private company, they can do anything!" argument is growing weaker by the day as these companies have more influence in our lives

The better solution is to prevent individual private companies from holding so much power in the first place. If the major tech companies weren't allowed to drastically consolidate and push out competition, we wouldn't be in this situation.
> If you have the ability to speak out for an oppressed class of people but do not you are de facto supporting the dominant regime.

Says you. What if I have an entirely third position on the issue that I'm afraid to speak out on?

> you have the ability and time to stand up for truth, justice, and freedom from oppression

I could do this, but what if my definition of what that is, is different than yours? What if I value, say, freedom of speech as the pinnacle value under the umbrella of "freedom from oppression", and you don't?

> It's precisely the silence that is deafening.

I usually wish there was more silence, to be honest. Maybe you should read the silence less as "unwillingness" and more as "people sitting aghast at what you've said, and wishing you'd just take it outside so we can go back to enjoying our breakfast".
It takes a particularly simplistic view of the world to have a response like this.

For many in the tech world, getting a new job is straight forward, but that is not the norm. It is stressful. It might require moving to a new location. it might require taking a pay cut.

There are many reasons someone might want to stay in a crappy job. One might be it's the only job they can find in their current location (especially outside of tech hubs), and they are tied to their current location for reasons of family or other obligations.

I have a friend who is staying in a shitty job because one of the perks of the job is reduced college tuition for her son, and that's more important to her than being happy at work.

You are a privileged person if you have never experienced something like that. I hope you never do. But please don't assume just because you haven't that no one else has either.
Yes. For example, if your problem is important for construction companies, than they will give you data to solve it (otherwise, how would they solve it). In return, they will get to use your models.

In any rate, unless you have a dataset of your own, the ML part does not matter.

I think that any ML project today, it more of a solution engineering type project, and not a product.
What you're talking about is counterfactual inference, which is a non-trivial problem even in well-controlled settings. The effect of large-scale protests would probably be very difficult to quantify with the rigour you're alluding to. I'd love to be proven wrong, though.

You very much do need ML for that, because the EQ distribution of the music in a video is going to be completely different from the original, and both volume and EQ distribution will vary even within fractions of a second as the sonic environment changes as objects move.

The only time it's closer to trivial to filter out is when the music has been edited in as an audio track, and no additional filters/EQ have been applied. But even then, subtracting a lossless original will leave funky-sounding audio compression artifacts, a "ghost" of the song left behind.
