Case in point: when Ben Franklin argued "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.", he was actually arguing for the authority of the Federal government to tax the states in order to fund a frontier defense against Native American raids[0, 1], not making some general crypto-minarchist statement about the dangers of ceding personal liberty to the authority of governments.

It's not a generational thing, it's called being in your 20's. Those currently well past their 20's talked openly about their dating when they were 20, too.
>Because what people have been clamoring for is to know which of their friends like them more than is mutual, so they can feel weird.

I haven't read the article, but I'm guessing this is probably a typical 2-way match algorithm, or else it really doesn't make sense. i.e., both friends have to put the other in their "secret crush" list for it to inform them that they have a crush on each other.

What they really need is a "secret crush for FWB only" list: what if I have a friend that I'd be happy to be FWB with, but have zero interest in a serious relationship, but don't want to broach that topic with her for fear that it would mess up our friendship? This would be a perfect use for FB.

This is what a society looks like.
We have a lot of progress to make here. Writing a language isn’t nearly as simple as writing a mere lexer, parser, type checker, and compiler/interpreter. You’ll spend just as much, or even more, time worrying about developer ergonomics (IDE integration, frameworks, toolchains, etc.). Projects like Language Server Protocol are great steps in the direction of making languages easier to implement, and LSP in particular is a great example of a “solution factory”.
I created a number of issues in our git repo this morning and the ability to reverse a move was included! I like that idea. I also added an issue for keyboard controls!

I'm currently thinking of some ideas to make things more engaging but I do also want to keep a fine balance of excitement and relaxation (or maybe ill think of it like a loop to bring players back to relaxation after a 'plot twist' of sorts). I think different types of shapes is a good idea. A friend of mine suggested a 4x4, for example, that gives you 400 points. I've thought of other shapes but I want to make sure the algorithm is as efficient as possible, because that's part of the goal for me, learning better search algos and what not.

I'm also trying to figure out ways to make it more aesthetically pleasing as well as figuring out sound effects. I also like the idea of having some sort of integrated YouTube or Spotify player (kind of like how rocket league has a Spotify widget in the main menu).

I appreciate your feedback!

This post was far more controversial than i thought it was. I keeps gettin voted up and down. Anyone explain why?
Literally the entire lesson of the social networking age is that it's not entirely your choice. If everyone you know is on Facebook, and everyone you want to date is on Facebook, all the events you want to attend are organized on Facebook, etc., you have very strong pressures on you to use Facebook, whether you want to or not.
So, I'd use this, as someone who has trouble getting matches on dating apps usually. Facebook already has the largest issue for dating apps solved: the network chicken-and-egg problem. Dating apps are non-exclusive, I have 3 installed on my phone and using an additional one isn't a big deal.

If they are able to provide a differentiated feature set from other apps because they can better leverage FB interest data, I don't see why this couldn't work.

Is anyone else on this thread even in the dating scene right now? I really don't see how this is a plainly bad idea.

I really fail to see how trying to get into the dating market for 40-80 year old right-wing conservatives is really going to help them. The 20-somethings don't use FB, and sure as hell aren't going to use it for dating, and the 30-somethings probably aren't either.
Thank you! I most certainly will. I'll be adding a number of things soon.
Probably choosing countries with fewer regulations for faster time to market (they do say, for example, they're coming to Europe in 2020)
Sure, we all have funny little anecdotes about times we talked about something and then saw ads for it later that day.

But as a technologist and software developer myself, I know just how difficult it would be to make a device that would be able to constantly transcribe the audio input stream and surreptitiously upload that data all day - and do so without destroying the battery life or having a noticeable network bandwidth footprint.

Not too mention the fact that if any memos/emails documenting any part of these "black-ops" advertising programs were leaked, it would be the tech story of the decade and probably result in billions of dollars of fines and legal fees for Facebook/Google/Apple/Amazon.

No, in the end, it seems much more likely to me that these occurrences are just the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon in effect.

After all, how many things have you talked about that DIDN'T end up in your advertising stream? I mean, this is pretty easy to test. Why don't you just start talking about adult diapers in front of your phone right now and see what happens?

It also seems particularly poorly timed when a breach exposing Facebook user phone numbers just made hacker news yesterday.

Especially as a programmer, making something physical is incredibly satisfying. Also, unlike my programs, the things I bake rarely have bugs.
I've heard that anecdotally too, and tbh I would never ingest something a stranger sent me in the mail. I'm sure it's mostly fine, but there's a level of trust that whisper networks provide that is simply absent in an online setting. Heck, bitcoin itself purports to do exchanges in a trustless setting; trustless is the last environment you want to have for things you're putting in your body.

- Older set has well-pronounced architectural elements like arcs and slopes and feels like a solid structure, newer set feels airy and ad-hoc

- Older set has minifigs with a simple paint, newer set has cartoon-like characters

- Older set has a more realistic colour scheme, newer set again feels cartoonish

- Older set has a specially designed backside for playing and putting minifigs

On Mars, you need to heat from severe arctic temperatures (and sometimes not at all, in mid summer) and you need some sort of pressure dome. (But you don't need 1 atmosphere.)

On Venus you need some way to pump away a heat making lead melt. So... yeah, definitely much more harsh. We don't even have the technology for such heat pumps, even though I guess they are theoretically possible. You'd need exotic materials and a nuclear plant I assume.

I the atmosphere though of Venus though, it gets very interesting. Apparently it's about 1 (Earth) atmosphere pressure at a temperature of about 20 Celsius (70 F), so we could have floating cities! (But the cities would have to be resistant to sulfuric acid and we would have to bring our own water.)
It's over 100000 paid customers, not paid users. E.g., your revenue number is way off... the article says their revenue for the quarter was $145 million. So I guess the average revenue per customer was approaching $1500 (well, unless I dropped a zero or three somewhere, which is possible). For Slack customers are organizations with potentially multiple users. Likewise, I think your 1:130 number is perhaps comparing apples to oranges.
i agree with that. it almost seems like they're throwing their weight into an already way overcrowded market. but it's still too early to tell - how is Facebook Marketplace doing against 5mile/LetItGo/etc?

Facebook's massive user base might make this a success. Depending on whether or not there's a fee involved.

Remote workers can often get some budget for a coworking space. Not enough to work there every day. But enough to get out of the house every once in awhile.

There is also just the contingency aspect of it- I had a scheduled power outage in my building when I was working remotely, I could either take off that day, or just find a coworking or other space, but I chose to try a coworking space. Power outages may not be common, but there were also days when I had family in town and such, and just didn't want the distraction.

Scientists develop optical ruler that can measure down to the nanoscale
Imagine you work for, say, IBM, and your badge grants you a desk, on-demand, at any WeWork office. Or, let’s pretend that you, still at big blue, want a dedicated space for a small project, you work with your WeWork rep to secure a secure dedicated space for the timeline.

At no time in those examples did I have to exchange funds, pass my corporate card, etc.

Speaking as a home remote worker (Salesforce/Heroku not IBM or WeWork) that likes to visit offices sometimes and travels quite a bit, having the option of on-demand access to working spaces with other humans, and a facility-access processes I can rely on, and a facility I can mostly assume will work would be a pretty great upgrade to my work experience.

Expense reports suck. It’s not just the process burden, but making that the norm rather than an exceptional process means that today’s automated-scanning systems will probably put more false-positive-powered issues onto your already full plate.

Removing the process makes it a tool that more people will use. That’s the value prop I see.

Point of reference: I work in HFT, and it's possible to process a market data update from an exchange, reprice a complex financial instrument, decide whether to place an order, and send that order back towards the exchange all in under 5us. Another point of reference: raising one float to the power of another (a^b) could be done over a 100,000 times in the same time it takes for Mach to do a single syscall.
> Were you able to listen to Joe Rogan's podcast at 2x? Skip somewhere in the middle and listen for 15 seconds maybe.

Hmm, I skipped around to a few different spots. About half the time it was intelligible at 2x, but as soon as they started speaking faster it became a garble. Occasionally they would speak fast enough that I couldn't catch it even at 1.75x. So I'd say they have a lot more variability in their pacing than you do.
The longest lasting robot on Venus was Venera 12, which lasted 110 minutes. Venus is hard because it melts electronic circuits. On Mars, you just need a heating element to stop yourself freezing.

This would have to be forced through war, and even if somehow the developing world agreed to it without being held at gunpoint, it would still cause lots of suffering and death in short-term. Economic growth is not just zeroes on executives' bank accounts; it's food on the tables of regular people.

Instead, IMO we should double-down on clean tech and then give it away for free, or even with subsidies attached, to the developing world. This way they get to develop even faster, while reducing their contribution to climate issues.

Don't underestimate Facebook. I am sure they have stats that show that almost no one knows. Because almost no one knows - not even most IT professionals. There is also something I call "sulking to the giant" (my made up term) - I've seen many times people say "I would never tell Facebook my name/city/age/..." only to do it a year later.
That was to illustrate that it is possible that people prefer consumption in the future. To your question why to make money rot has many answers.

Seeing something like this come out of Facebook makes me glad to be married. Is it a good idea for them? Yes. Will people use it? Probably. Is it a little creepy to imagine a company that’s already under constant scrutiny about how it handles your data to also know more about your dating life? Absolutely.

That said, Facebook is already out with 20-somethings. Is this really going to used by that audience? Or is this replacing Yahoo Personals for 40-somethings?
But the problem is that the policies are wrong. They start from the premise that what matters is behavioral change, not technological change. We need $100 billion/year of federal money into thorium and battery research, not "green jobs" or Kyoto protocol. We don't need a "New Deal" to avert climate change, we need a Manhattan Project. But I absolutely agree that we needed those things starting 30 years ago.

This is why you NEVER expose elevated access to the open internet.

Absolutely this, the fight for climate change was lost 20 years ago when Al Gore made it one of his campaign goals. Things like CO2 climate change or net neutrality that 90% of the population had absolutely no opinion previously on are best resolved in the background because as soon as a politician tells people what opinion they should have, 50% of them are going to take the opposite side simply because of the letter next to their name. Politicizing anything is a guaranteed way to ensure it will be in a substandard limbo forever.
Reminds me of this dialog from the Social Network movie:

People are gonna log on because after all the cake and watermelon there’s a chance they’re actually gonna, (get laid), meet a girl. Yes.

Facebook has been known (and are starting to) take over their family of apps. Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger are already used by the 20 somethings and all the founders are gone so they have full control over them.

I wouldn't be surprised that they would shower features into it's family of apps that already exist on FB. (See Stories)
