You provide no evidence at all. Like a single link to what you're talking about. (Why is that?)

You say you've had it, yet here you are still.

There seems quite a lot of discussion of the "state of the site and moderation" on here, but you act like it's forbidden or something.
Good point. I'll take that into consideration. Thank you.

I have the SSL and people can change pages to https by changing the URL, but I'm still trying to get a hang of making all pages automatically https. Thanks!
I think the GP comment had a point, before you get to a gate you are scanned/x-rayed, searched and pass by chemical sensors. This is not to mention other technologies that are baked into the surveillance system.

I think fretting over a bag past that point is a little much. Frankly, the crowded snaking lines leading up to the TSA are where one should be concerned.
If the objective is for people to get more hours of sleep probably it would have been better to pass a law dividing the day in 32 hours... Kids will sleep the same amount of time in all cases, but it would be 50% more hours.
People do watch videos they don't like. Most addictions are a whole process where the addictee feels negative the majority of the time and then gets a high that reinforces the cycle.

My mum gets paranoid about burglars. If I introduced her to a constant drip feed of robbery videos her fear would escalate disproportionate to her normal life. That's not a revealed character flaw.
These are my uBlock filters that I use to block all of Youtube's recommendations. I think it makes the site much cleaner.

I personally try to hide all recommendations everywhere.
Regardless of the conversation about this being insufficient, I think it will still have a significant impact if actually employed.

Not only does it actually reduce the proliferation of these tweets, it signals that a line was crossed by a particular tweet.
I only just left my job this year. I chose not to get health insurance for rest of year because it's just for myself and I don't use it. (yes, slightly risky but in good health and don't plan to stay funemployed forever)

But if I did, there's the premium tax credit, which caps premiums to some % of your annual income. For a single person, 322% above the federal poverty line is $40k with a 9.56% cap, so you'd pay no more than $318 in premiums a month and whatever you pay extra (say $182 for a $500 premium) becomes a tax credit.
Yep, in the state of VA you go to community college for 2 years and then can transfer to any 4-year school in the state. An amazing deal.
Isn't it more complicated than that? We have great self control where we are choosing to exercise our will power, but will power is a limited-renewable resource. I mean, I can ride a bicycle down a hill and focus on it and do a great job, but if that hill has a ton of animated billboards that's got to affect me on some level, differently than if the street were bare, right?

I think we as a society are going to have to get a lot more savvy about how easy it is to influence other people when they're not paying close attention.
> probably takes more years off your life than the difference between normal and diet soda.

Type 2 diabetes can take a lot of years off your life.
>It's only civil for a first infraction

No. As a preliminary matter there is no such thing as an immigration infraction.

>Disobeying any immigration order...

There is nothing special about an "immigration order" its a court order, the same as any other court order and has nothing to do with ones immigration status.

>or being deported and then returning is civil and criminal.

This 2nd part just goes to my point about mental divides, no where did you mention after deportation the vast majority of deportees have a temporary bar to return and thereafter they may return legally...again this goes to your attempted point about "first infractions." People get deported multiple time, it doesn't become a criminal case after the first deportation.
In 99.9% of cases you don't. It's mostly spam.

Facebook is a friend platform, not a stranger platform. Don't use it to message strangers, it's very explicitly not what the platform is designed for.
> Don't give your children unsupervised access to the internet.

What phenomenally useless advice, and an utterly uninformed perspective.

Who and how do you propose offer this "supervised access" in a meaningful fashion?

How do you adapt for the fact that children, when supervised, specifically avoid play that might subject them to additional scrutiny (for example, not using youtube, etc).

How do you address the lack of supervision in environments that aren't specifically at home, or when one parent finds different content problematic than another parent?

How do you ensure that two parents who are at odds (e.g. divorced couples, etc) coordinate what is permitted or not in an environment where the child has different rules in different environments?

Far from children not having internet access at school, the school my children attends recognizes the need to teach children how to think critically about online content, and both my 8 year old and 10 year old have had assignments to use youtube and other media sites to learn more about specific topics.

Far better advice would be to periodically review content your children view, and then have meaningful discussions about the content they are consuming, what makes it "good" or "bad", and encourage children to make better choices, and to discuss what they are seeing and learning.

As awful as Youtube is, it's not possible to block it out of kids lives, any more than porn magazines and other objectionable content could be kept out of the hands of children 30 years ago.

Around 1988, I read a book that claimed the ideal robot hand would have fingers that repeatedly bifurcate until it has a digit so small it can manipulate matter at the atomic level. Implausible but fun to think about.
I don't like this tech in the hands of the state but I'm more worried about criminal use of this.

I think we're going to see a massive increase in extortion as people are able to collect large amounts of data on people based on facial recognition. Sure now it's expensive and slow. But it's going to get cheaper and quicker.

I'd recommend trying to avoid anything that can link your face to your identity being public and online. Sextortion is a big thing at the moment. Who knows what will be next when facial recognition becomes available to the same scammers.
There are several world leaders that I'd be happier with if they weren't leaders. (And some local leaders too! There are city councilmen I would send to Mars if I could.)

But I absolutely want and need to know what they're saying. A platform that provides a direct way for them to speak shouldn't be interfering with that.
No, anonymity isn't a goal of IPFS. If you add anonymity (for both consumers and publishers) to IPFS, you get the design of its older sibling: FreeNet.
I asked HR, if I can avoid the sonru interview, and do phone call instead.

The HR team accommodated me.
We tend to leave posts like the OP up. This one was killed by a software filter as well as heavily flagged by users, but I turned all of that off. That way we don't get accused of killing it for sinister reasons, but also the occasional thread like this can act as a pressure valve to air grievances and give us a read on how the community is feeling. My sense is that the bulk of the community does not share the feeling that moderation here is so biased or vindictive. But if that's wrong, we definitely need to know.
One of my favorite fun facts about this area of Brooklyn, is that there was an elevated train perpendicular to the one described here, that today would cut straight through Pratt’s campus, from north to south, and is the reason why there’s such a wide space between the boiler building and the engineering building. It connected the G line to EL. It was also surrounded by tenements, which were eminent domain’d (along with the elevated train line), so that Pratt could get a campus. That’s why Pratt’s campus is still a public park.

It’s interesting because it’s a perfect counterpoint to what the city planners of the era wanted to do with Washington Square Park (replace an existing green space with a mass transit hub). Here, they did the inverse.
Not sure who will end up being satisfied with this.

People who want the "world leaders" deplatformed will be mad they they're still online, and people who like said leaders will cry persecution every time this is invoked, whether it's intentional or some automated system being tripped.

A sizable chunk will not hear about any of this and will wonder why they can't like a tweet (unless this problem is solved with the right UX).

Does the Streisand Effect apply to this too? Does this end up with more quote tweeting?
I didn't specify context because it wasn't necessary.

Why don't you warn the readers of the chance of dying on it because you think you can fly? Or acid-flashbacks? They're scary! Giant insects are everywhere. Whhooooooo!

I said "powerful", because it is. The means that it should be approached in a thoughtful and respectful manner, just like other powerful things.
What's a "world leader"? That sounds like something you might claim to be but that should under no circumstances be allowed.
I am not an Android user, nor would I like to have [my Google account suspended](https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/2723).
the neuropsychological mechanisms, being exploited are about as primative as a patellar reflex. You can be cognizant and keep a leash on it, but in the correct context you are guaranteed to give in, unconscious of the process.
> Not every brain works the same way. In fact, every brain is certain to work differently. Plenty of people may not have the same impulse control you have, and it's not their fault.

Impulse control is a skill, not everyone is the same or has equal level of abilities in anything, but we are ultimately choosing our reaction to an input and we have power to extend our influence on ourselves and world around us.
You're not free in any of those situations.
Nobody ever thinks about the edge cases
The C++ on the documentation is there for the few places where there's nothing on the interface not supported by Rust. Notice it says it generates biding for "C (and some C++) libraries".

A C interface on C++ code is how most people do interoperability with C++ libraries. It is pretty much C, so you can just use the FFI. But it's not really a C++ compatible FFI.
I guess because they do not have a common memex yet. :-)
But yes, RDF should fit very well.
As others pointed out already, I also dislike the idea of being locked into a proprietary file format. This should not be a problem using RDF - I guess we all should think about that idea.
And we can negotiate those compromises by calling on Youtube to change how they run their site.
We need a radical change in the way recommendation systems work. They should always be designed in a way so that they are controllable, trainable and customizeable by consumer (or responsible guardian) input. We need to be able to interface with that aspect of the web instead of having a black box shove stuff into our throats.
What organization or individual ever in history could claim to have this kind of power over world affairs? There's never been anyone quite as potently leveraged as Jack Dorsey.

As much as I am in favor of the (superficial, at least) spirit of this decision, I'm torn about the huge corner we're turning as a civilization here.

edit: Downvoters, if you are interpreting this as a veiled swipe at Twitter or indirect support of Trump (& friends), that's neither the intent nor representative of my opinions about these actors in the least.

This may be a touchstone event that bottlenecks perception of the international system in a way that makes the particular provocateurs about as relevant to the long term outcome as Gavrilo Princip was to the formation of NATO or the UN.

The company I work for is hiring. https://seedotrun.com. We are a start-up working on autonomous agriculture. Lots of benefits to our design compared to a traditional tractor in regards to GHG, efficiency, farmer well-being, and food security.

There are a number of companies like us popping up. Bear Flag Robotics in California is another example.

I certainly agree that a 'healthy obsession' with a topic can yield amazing results! I sincerely doubt I'll now become a renowned photographer but even if I don't I hope to be able to own my decision to try (and potentially fail).
This and some comments below is the extreme to one or the other end. The situation is as almost always grey (not white or black). If you are procrastinating on youtube or buy junk there is something you can do (you have some degree of control) also there is something Youtube can do (they also have some degree of control), why do we involve so much extremism into discussions around (ads, privacy, etc..)

P.S. I spend <2h/day on youtube mostly on the shows or tutorials I wanted in advance. I spend <20min/day on fb (90% messenger, 10% groups that I "have to" follow). Very close to 0 social media activity for more than 2 years now.
So it's definitely possible.
This is what they are already doing..

The key to your statement is the word "related". How do you determine whether two pieces of content are related? Because Youtube has found a way which works for them and seems to work in the majority of cases.
Sure, but those symlinks have to be consistently created and maintained, possibly on multiple new and existing systems.

If you already have infrastructure that does similar things, it's probably not much of an issue, but I can see missing or misdirected symlinks being a common problem. Maintaining the symlink in the distribution (Debian or whatever) reduces the chance of errors.
>top 20 most developed countries

Which 20 "developed" countries? Why would they come to US? If they could they already would as US pays much more than even "developed" countries. Australia has 23 million people (almost half of California) and almost zero IT. Sweden, Switzerland: Really?

Not everyone's ideal destination is US. It's funny how most Americans think the world is falling over their head to move to a country where gun nuts have the right to mow down people but you don't have the right to get medical for it.
How does being a C Corp protect you against 280e?
Let's be real here. This is aimed squarely at Trump.
> Plenty of people may not have the same impulse control you have, and it's not their fault.

If someone with bad impulse control kills another person, is it not their fault?

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you. I'm just pointing out that this is the moral principle being debated here.

I certainly don't know the answer, but we should think about this one a little bit before saying that no one is ever at "fault" for anything.

Impulse control is just another facet of human personality, just like being aggressive, or being a bigot.
Similarly, a good chunk of urban housing in Canada, Australia and NZ are priced completely out of line with what median salaries in those areas could afford.

These are likely houses marketed towards "investors", aka rich people who don't need a mortgage or have a network of private lenders who specialize in providing credit for the house-flipping industry.
So much for the free speech wing of the free speech party. :(
I learned from the colleague that this is the standard practice in the industry - engineering consulting at big firms
> Usually at the end of the first week, I'll do an email or a meeting with a summary of what's been done and where things are going to reassure myself they'll be happy being billed with the work so far.

I did the same thing outlying what's done in the 3 week that I did so that they know where their money is going.

> I'm guessing you don't feel great right now and keep thinking about this. I find it best to just write down what you would do differently next time and try to move on because there's no point overthinking it.

Yes. I definitely feel like shit. Gladly, I'm a positive person and now just making sure I do better on the next project. My consultancy still has other clients at the same time launching our own product in a month with our product team so hoping for the best all around.

The feedback here has been super comforting despite everything so thanks to all!
Can regulation come soon enough? And what better time than when Congress is split and we have the best hope of something resembling what rational people would create?
Developers and scientists, in my experience, prefer to get the latest Python wheels from the Internet rather than reply on distributions to curate their packages. The consumers of distribution-provided packages is... other distribution-provided packages.
> objectively worse

That's an opinion. There's nothing objective about the assertion that many small files are inherently more secure. However, that many small files and one large file have equivalent power, can express all the same programs, and can be equally secure or insecure... those actually are all objective facts.
If both where true you would see more than 1 hour of lost sleep.
Well, it was also a tech transfer from Kawasaki (makers of Shinkansen trains), unless you think they bungled the technology, it's very possible these trains at least match the quality of Siemens and Kawasaki trains. You can see the specs and pictures on Wikipedia and decide for yourself.

Like the sibling post says, the tragedy is that they got both companies to give up their tech because each thought the winner would get a monopoly over the entire domestic market for at least a decade or so.
I honestly don't understand why "world leaders" aren't banned as soon as they break the rules, just like anyone else would be. If I said even a tiny fraction of the things "world leaders" have said, I'd be banned from Twitter in a second, and rightfully so.
> What's a "world leader"?

A head of state of a country, especially but not exclusively of an influential nation.
but you are stating the truth here.
right wing IS evil, left wing IS good.
leaders often say anything to gain power, including lots of stuff about "the people, the people"

stalin was a right wing monarch (tell me which part of the leaders eating caviar while the people starve is communism?)

and it IS cut and dried.

they outline the 2 tendencies:
utopianism, and selfishness.
utopianism is easy to quote and hard to follow.
selfishness makes for lousy social policy but is what is required for individual survival.

there, I solved it for you.

but hey, actually I noticed that this topic isn't about right-wing content being "bad"

it's about extreme content being recommended in situationally inappropriate contexts.

Thomas the Train should not segue into "bloody train crashes volume 5" under any circumstances unless you search for it.
Are they interfering with that, or are they simply limiting your ability to interact with the content beyond viewing it?
It would also be nice if Twitter restricted world leaders who called out for genocide:

I wasn't aware of it but will take a look. Thanks!
Thanks. Can you share some online resources about the projects?
And who will guard against them breaking their own rules? Who will watch the watchmen?
When I was kid I took apart my tv to disconnect the speakers and wire up my walkman headphones. This was so I could put a blanket over my head and tv and watch some Letterman at night. My mom would notice if there was light and noise coming from my room after bedtime.

Now the kids have phones. If I had a phone and internet access I would have never slept.
I don't think its going to get any design starts, nor is that the intent. There are companies with rock solid legacy applications that want to continue to run them on newer hardware. VMS first ran on the VAX (long dead), then Alpha (dead), and finally Itanium (recently dead). x86 will let these legacy apps run for a few more decades.
Social media has introduced profound changes to the way our society functions. Its not a bad or a good change: there are both good and bad aspects to it. Democratization of media means that suppressed voices and talent can still rise and break through, and that's a good thing. On the other hand, it also means that the worst of humanity (even if a minority) can also break through - traditional media's filters were not always a bad thing.

The main problem are that recommendation systems are a black box. They should have interfaces for interaction. They should allow user chosen curators (e.g. parental filter companies) to tweak their parameters, add filters or over-ride recommendation choices.

As I mentioned somewhere downstream, we can't have black boxes shoving things we don't want into our screens anymore. We need something better.
>> Everyone would be forced to either use public transport, taxis and chauffeur services to get anywhere.

Saudi is like this, I hear, Jakarta too. I assume there's more.
I'm curious about this. I've always banked with NatWest so I'm only really familiar with their cards, but my bank account number is definitely not printed on the card (the sort code is).

Do some other UK banks really print the account numbers on their cards? Or is there some way to send a Faster payment to a debit card number?
Don't forget speakers!

Old cars with four or six speakers can have all their speakers replaced with off-the-shelf models pretty easily, but I expect replacing all 15 speakers in a Model 3 in a dozen years to be fairly nightmarish.

The conundrum is in the word “can”
The TC article linked to the blog post announcing this, but didn't link to the page describing how the public interest feature works: https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/public-intere...

In short, it's not just silently making the Tweet non-interactive (as the article implies). It's similar to the existing "sensitive content" UX.
Some of these are incredibly dehumanizing. "my dad believes weird things now its all youtubes fault!" Your dad was and still is allowed to believe whatever he wants regardless of whether someone told him it was true. The next one, a guy is upset his EX is paranoid. Why are people no longer allowed to believe what they want regardless of how others feel about it? You only liked him as your dad when he agreed with you.

I honestly find this whole thing disgusting, it's one thing to be upset that you got deceived but to assume someone else has been and to demand the freedom (to be deceived, to choose what you believe) be removed from another is insane. Youtube is full of plenty of shit, if someone wants to believe it or if someone accidentally "falls for it" that's their problem and theirs alone.
Congrats, you're one of the smart people in the world. Managers don't really need a whole lot more than what's tested on the GMAT, math-wise. They need to be able to interpret business questions, have decent intuition and do relatively simple math relatively quickly.

As far as standardized exams go, the GMAT is rather challenging given the time constraint and the fact that the exam adjusts to match your skill level with each response influencing the next that is asked
What is your end goal for prodo?
Redesigning Emergency Alert Systems
That sounds awfully naive to me. World leaders have all kinds of options for communicating with the public. Official press releases, for example. Press releases are preferable because when they tell falsehoods, they can be fact checked in the press. We have no obligation to allow them to use social networks for propaganda purposes.
