Let me clarify: Wikipedia is banned in Mainland China (what Westerners mean when they say "China"). It is allowed in Hong Kong and Taiwan - which are outside the great firewall. That doesn't mean they aren't censoring and editing the Chinese language Wikipedia. They definitely are. Also consider that many people from China (read: mainland China) are coming to the US and the west for school. They tend to read the Chinese language versions of Wiki, not the English ones.

Data hacking is fun.

But what about reading law, understanding if your company is compliant to the law or not, making those compliance changes, and knowing that if you made a mistake the company takes a huge financial responsibility?

My girlfriend was doing these things for her 2 person software company, and she was more scared about making a mistake than having fun.

Yes their recent trend of moving user privacy to the forefront is one of the few really positive trends i've seen out of apple in the past 2-3 years.

Apple has moved privacy to the forefront for a much longer time. Apple was the first to roll out end-to-end encryption of messages to hundreds of millions of people (iMessage 2011), the first to roll out end-to-end encrypted (video) calls to hundreds of millions of people (Facetime, 2010). They introduced the secure enclave, which was quickly used throughout the OS with iPhone 5s in 2013.

Whatever reasons they have (and despite their failings), they have been pushing privacy for almost 10 years now.
LOL, I don't even know who Wim Hoff is.

But seriously, looking at the big picture always helps with anxiety and the likes. Sometimes we simply don't have visibility over where we are, when we are, and how we are, and not knowing is always scary even though we sometimes don't realize it.
Rust does support binary libraries. You just have to interoperate with them via the system/C ABI. It doesn't support binary crates, but a crate is just a compilation unit, like a file in C/C++. Do people commonly use binary .o files in C/C++ across compiler versions? That would be the equivalent of what you call "binary libraries".
… how is an actual functional limitation imposed on applications through an operating system's APIs "just marketing"?

I came to post a very similar point. There already exist superintelligences in the form of organizations of humans, and the misspecification of their objectives has already caused tremendous disasters. Think East India Company and its subjugation of entire countries in pursuit of tea profits or CCP and the horrors of the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution.

Until we have built a framework to stop these things from happening again, what hope do we have against intelligences that are to human organizations what human organizations are to individuals?

That's simple. If it is a model that was trained with only that person's data and is therefore connected to it, it is PII (personally identifiable data) and must be deleted.

If the model aggregates the data of multiple people and is disconnected from the individual it does not constitute PII and can be kept.
I made a statement derived from lots of research I have personally done. You said I was wrong. I provided evidence of the research. You provided ... none.

You said I was "dangerously wrong" because someone else you talked to said I was wrong, but you have provided no evidence supporting your case, other than hearsay.

I have provided evidence. You concluded with:

> This is what I was told by people who spend their lives studying the treatment of cancer.

Which, again, is appeal to authority. It's a logical fallacy.

How much evidence do I need to provide?

> Current data in humans suggests that IF may be beneficial for chemotherapy outcomes, particularly for reducing toxicities. IF appears to be safe in appropriately selected patients, and the adverse effects associated with fasting appear to all be of low grade.

> Growing preclinical evidence shows that short-term fasting (STF) protects from toxicity while enhancing the efficacy of a variety of chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of various tumour types. STF reinforces stress resistance of healthy cells, while tumor cells become even more sensitive to toxins, perhaps through shortage of nutrients to satisfy their needs in the context of high proliferation rates and/or loss of flexibility to respond to extreme circumstances.

Do you have any evidence that fasting is deleterious to the health of cancer patients? Except what you said someone said?

Did you ask those oncologists for any evidence supporting their case or did you just take their words at face value?
Not at all - both sides benefit from trade. And also 3rd world investors buy a big part of that stock (including a part of my savings).

As a cross-platform C++ Builder replacement, I have been using wxFormBuilder and wxWidgets in the past. There are some manual steps, but it let's you build a GUI quickly, hook up event handlers and then write implementation code in a derived class, so that stuff generated by GUI editor doesn't rewrite your code.

Back in late 2016 a lot was made about a 20+ year Oracle/Linux veteran at ORCL jumping ship to Microsoft to lead their burgeoning Linux group.

9 months later the guy returned to Oracle. Always thought that spoke a little bit to the quality of OEL, especially after this profile from BI: https://www.businessinsider.com/wim-coekaerts-microsoft-open...

MSFT and Linux seem to be doing cool things right now, so I assume he returned to Oracle our of some love for the product, and not because he didn’t like what he saw at MSFT.
I have not rebooted my Win10 laptop for weeks, what are you talking about?

Also, regarding XFCE on a laptop, those 20 minutes will include the time before the battery runs out right?
So you are suggesting unpaid overwork, right?

I agree that it can be educational, however, it can also give your boss the false pretense that you are gonna do it "outside the sprint".

I personally did that mistake in the past, and I have seen people do the same. Never again. Again, the only good thing in that is the learning part and, if you want, the satisfaction. However, you can't even publish it, which means in terms of visibility, nobody knows what you do outside work.

And what when they ask you "any side projects?" in job interviews?
Stop Calling It Bad Code
Interchangeable parts revolutionised the way things are made
I recently graduated from high school, and have some experience with programming in a middle school/high school setting. However, at the moment, I cannot recall much about when I was 7 years old, so I might have high expectations here :)

I believe it's probably most important not to force your kid to do anything and just guide them in a direction and let their interests shape what they spend their time on. Most peers my age grow up with a pure dread for math and science disciplines because it was forced on them throughout their whole life. For me, it's still painful to think about anything related to chemistry/world history because I just remember a sure dread while taking the course (although that probably had more to do with the course/how it was taught than the actual content).

I don't think Python's Turtle is the best way to go here because it is difficult to build on the skills learned while mastering Turtle. Plus, nothing that will be built ends up being that impressive (whereas HTML/CSS can make awesome things). Scratch is probably a pretty good way to start just to get them to think about how specific problems could be solved.

For beginners, and kids especially, it often works great when you can build something concrete and show it off to people. Here, HTML and CSS will work great, since they are super basic and will produce real-time feedback. HTML/CSS can get you pretty far when building a website, but then once they begin to question how to do more difficult things, it may be a good time to introduce JavaScript, just because it can talk directly to HTML/CSS and there will be an element of realtime feedback. With HTML/CSS/JS, I recommend checking out Electron (which is a framework to create desktop applications in HTML/CSS/JS) and looking at how to publish a site online (e.g., Github.io/heroku for free sites or buy a domain from Google for ~$12). Similarly, it may be beneficial to check out Swift and Xcode to develop iPhone applications. Swift produces a bunch of entry-level material and they have a nice drag-and-drop user interface, which helps visualize things.

If they're super into science and math, it may be beneficial to play with Mathematica.

If they're interested in games/VR/AR, check out Unity.

Beyond that, I follow the new-crowd here and would start with Python. The syntax is much better than other languages and it captures many of the most important features in programming languages. There is also phenomenal support for Python packages.

Good luck!

In fact, prompting every time is also a red flag. They wouldn't be so desperate if providing the number was for your benefit as they claim (for "security", etc). The real reason they're so desperate is because it's for their benefit.
Another issue that comes up in these scenarios is after denying to change your mind. How do you give the app access now?

It's often not straight forward and often getting in some system settings somewhere. Android has this problem.

The same as if they start emailing you all the time: you block them.

And since phone numbers are harder and costlier to just generate and use, that block is more meaningful blocking an email address.

Why should it be work?

Work is what I am paid for. Anything else is either your human needs or hobbies.

I prefer a colleague's response to my question whether he has side projects: I don't like to do the same as I do (at work) here when I am home.

It's an incorrect answer, but at least it doesn't imply side projects are work.
The four hours I spent cleaning up my dad's laptop last week beg to differ. I had enough time to make and eat dinner while it was updating, rebooting, and then cleaning up the updates. Maybe he hadn't updated in a while?

I made him a small Linux partition after clearing up enough space, and now everything runs so much faster that he refuses to boot back into Windows.

After the whole Blizzard and Hong Kong incident yesterday, I tried to delete my Blizzard account. Despite having never submitted a copy of my ID, they're now asking for one to verify that this is indeed me.

I keep wondering, how will they be able to verify? I didn't use my real name, I used a throwaway email address. So why do they need my ID? I could submitted any ID I want, they still wouldn't know it's me.
This to me just sounds like a ploy to gather government issued information, to delete my account from a stupid game...

During log in, they already verified I own the email, by allowing me to sign in with password and email, and then input a code send to said email address.

As I read it, they are saying that the selfishness of individuals wins out over caring about a global cause. Not that selfishness allows us to triumph over a global cause. :)

Fixing it needs political leverage. To require the end of the coal mining, to ban certain fuels, processes, or packaging, to impose a carbon tax on global trade - as the EU are finally discussing. Years late, but maybe a last chance. The first real step in the right direction - if it gets past the vote. Selfishness of individuals can't do that. It can get you to switch to LED lighting to save a little cash.

Apparently enough wealth comes with enough self-belief that the laws of physics, ageing, climate and a host of others no longer apply to you. No surprise looking at celebrities and vastly wealthy over the years. So business and politics continues to mainly pretend it's not happening.

This is the article where Neilson breaks down what is being tested, and why it is statistically relevant.

https://www.nngroup.com/articles/why-you-only-need-to-test-w...

Neilson is looking to solve HCI(1) and Human Factors(2) issues - and most of these are byproducts of having to have a deep (insider) understanding of a product and that bubbling up into your UI. You are going to catch a lot of errors that fit the adage "can't see the forest for the trees". Having sat through a LOT Of these tests, you will pick out user frustrations, and reasons for product abandonment that would likely be NON apparent in a log.

Your examples of US/China, TX vs CA and GRE with race and class MIGHT be relevant but it is going to depend a whole lot more on what your building. The problem is there are other means and places where these issues might manifest, and again use testing would tell you a lot.

If we were to build a VR game that used a chopstick like interface, and test it only in china, we would likely think that we had a good product. If we find out later that "this isn't selling in America" then testing in that demographic group would quickly give us the insight that people lack the muscle memory to use this intuitively. There isn't any log in the known universe that would give us that clue, and "test here" can (and likely would) be gleaned by other means.

When you get past HCI and Human factors log data can be useful, and be a contra-indicator of the results of formal testing. Given a choice between A and B in a formal setting may give you one set of results even with a large sample size, but real world behavior turns out to be very different. This is akin to people slowing down when they see a police car - but driving fast when one isn't present or kids acting differently because they know someone is watching. We aren't discussing UI and UI interactions were now discussing human behavior, and preference. I can't tell you how many times I have seen the non preferred solution be the winning one in an A/B test, but I would generally bet against what the group likes and pick the most garish solution as the winner.

These behavioral types of tests can only really be driven by logs, by people being themselves and "feeling" unmonitored, and accurate demographic (to your point) slicing and sorting. En mass people are far more predictable than they would like to believe. Were delving into something more along the lines of Asimovs Psychohistory(3) as I don't think these sorts of statistically predicable behaviors have been given a formal name.

How to stop superhuman A.I. before it stops us
I remember reading somewhere that people in the run-up to WW1 were saying that war was impossible, we'd entered a new age, the world was too interdependent to go to war, there was too much trade.

Nations with all the manufacturing and farming they need to survive regardless may not feel so restrained. And countries can always form self-sufficient blocs.
I’m sure it depends on location, but there is the opportunistic crime—if home owners are away, probe the door to see whether it’s locked, get in and grab something if not. Routers and mass scans are somewhat similar.
I’m pretty sure the poster you replied to was talking not about deployment of 5G but the fact that Huawei is supposed to be far ahead of its non Chinese peers when it comes to 5G tech. That’s basically why the US has to ban the supply of tech to them, because otherwise nearly every 5G deployment would be Huawei.
Like every other business professional...
Thanks I'll use that in the future!
Or manufacturers can stop making "smart" devices just so they can fill them with ads and malware, leaving customers exposed to unlimited amount of threats.

It's not like they're just "giving you the choice" either. TV makers have already started completely removing non-smart TVs from their line-ups for instance.

I don't want a smart TV. If I want my TV to be smart, I'll buy a $50-$100 set top box I can upgrade in 2-3 years and is probably significantly more secure. Meanwhile a "smart" TV I will keep for 10+ years, but won't receive updates even for 20% of its lifecycle.

I would have thought so to but looking at the white background digrams on the dark pages was a horrible experience. It pretty much defeated the entire purpose of having a dark mode as there was these bright white diagrams shining in my eyes.

And here's the hue rotated solution

The ideal solution would be to make all the diagrams twice but that's a ton of work if your site has lots of diagrams. Of course it's all an opinion. I don't have time to redo all the diagrams or go make them CSS styled indivdually so this is the solution I chose for now.

It isn't the access to the service that is evil.

Rather, that you get a lesser service on a different platform unless you pay. Consumers expect the same experience regardless of platform. When that experience is free on some platforms but paid on another, it frustrates.
