Yes, definitely. But it's not a single factor thing and want to emphasize that. Dying prematurely is not always some failing of will, nor is not keeping active. Degenerative joint issues, for instance. Also vision, like ARMD. Et cetera. I personally suspect that things that prevent activity are manifestations of the same age related wasting. But stay active at any age, mentally and physically. Even if it had zero impact on longevity (and it has a positive impact) it's good for quality of life.
Something like https://anichart.net/Fall-2019 for western movies and TV series. What is coming out this year? What has come out in the past year? What was good in 2008. Far more titles, so filters and maybe recommendation engine important. Drive people to amazon, netflix signups etc for money.

A better way of discovering what book to read next. Amazon recommendations not browsable enough. Goodreads not assistive enough. Amazon recommendation dollars.
Perhaps because of hyper targeting? News media and fact check sites cannot even see some ads that are shown since they are not in the target market, so they cannot fact check or report on them.

Does it? What if the government decides the earth is the center of the universe and imprisons the scientist who has observable proof that it isn’t? What’s if the government decides “encryption with backdoor is unsafe” is a false statement and suppresses all speech that says otherwise?
> The single cheapest and quickest way to make a difference is to - en-masse - moderate our behaviours.

The cheapest and only long-term sustainable solution is to massively reduce the global population. Say we manage to massively transform society and half the average person’s ecological footprint. All that effort will be for nothing if we’re doubling our population in a couple of decades anyway. Any effort to modify our behavior will be pointless if we keep outbreeding the gains we make. By contrast, if we simply reduce the birthrate by a factor 10-100 we can drastically reduce our impact on our environment without any other changes.

Any other measure is just a stop-gap until we acknowledge the inconvenient truth: humanity is a plague. We’re breeding like cockroaches and if we don’t stop it we are doomed, regardless of any other measures taken.
I believe Zuckerberg's answer to that question was that such an ad would be banned. It's an explicit exception in the policy that permits lying in political ads, an exception that bans lies in service of voter suppression.

To the broader question, about whether all lies in political ads should be banned, the free speech argument against is that while it's easy to invent easy and obvious cases of lying, enforcing that policy in reality is very difficult and puts Facebook in the position of censoring speech that one side may consider a truth and the other may consider a lie.
Volkswagen had an opinion on that matter that has since changed. This was of course for internal combustion engines and the software modified the behavior of the car if it detected a smog test harness.

In all seriousness though, if you modified something that reduced the safety of the vehicle and someone is harmed, I can only assume that would be a factor in the legal finding. I am not a lawyer however.

Here's an easy way to always have something to write about:

Step 1: Try new framework/language/dev-tool/library.

Step 2: Make bullet point list of pain points.

Step 3: Come back to the list anytime you need to write something and expand on why the thing sucks so much and how everyone involved must've been dropped on their heads as a child.

It's easy to overcome writer's block with rage and the drive that people need to know how much you hate the thing you hate. Bonus points for making it as personal as possible.

> But trying to use analogies to make up new information is over-intellectualizing - rarely a wise thing to do.

Is it? It seems like analogies can often point into the right direction to look at.

Of course analogies are not sufficient and you do need to do the actual empirical work, but it also seems a bit unwise to discard their ability to detect similarities. The only reason you can make a good analogy is because there is an underlying shared abstraction .

I really enjoyed this article. I haven't read Anthony Jack's book on the issue yet (I'll add it to my list!), but the framing of privileged poor and double disadvantaged was a new way for me to think about education inequality.

The transition into an "elite" college, even as a middle class Asian-American male, was incredibly difficult on me mentally. My background in public school system in North Carolina (not in the Triangle Area or Charlotte) was a stark contrast from the elite high school institutions that many of my peers had experienced.

The example of "office hours" in the article resonates particularly strongly with me - I had never treated my instructors as "allies" and struggled completing psets and utilizing my professors and TAs as resources. I didn't realize until reading this article now that I had been treating them like adversaries.
People make this point every single time this comes up like they've contributed something interesting or new, it's exhausting.

No one has said the constitution applied to Twitter. Everyone knows the first amendment applies to governments only.

Yet free speech still has a huge cultural role in western countries that goes well beyond government charters, for very good reasons. That's the reason why it's embedded in law in the first place, not the other way around.
"Political" is a view that is not in line with common sense ... which is entirely based on our political view.
Sometimes it is budget or just needing someone to drive it through a heavy process.

It is also not always worth it if you cannot show a real business case. The thing might help you and it might be worth it if you hack something together yourself but if IT is suppose to build something that is available, has support, has disaster recovery, is patched etc. it might no longer be easy to find the business case for it.
> But it doesn't actually have that. It has that for 1 very specific usecase, sometimes.

I mean not really, it's there enough that for all practical cases it exists effectively. I would be extremely surprised if that wasn't intentional when any other C++ build tool makes use of it extensively. I would have laughed bazel out of the room if it didn't make use of the fact that nearly all C++ compilers provide nicely formatted lists of the files a given file depends on.

Also it does work for tests perfectly fine.

> Especially when its easier to have tooling automatically manage build files for you, so you don't even have to do it by hand!

And this managing build file tooling is public? Because I am not at all aware of any automatic tools for bazel along those lines.

Which really is my frustration with bazel's google developers, their views are eternally myopic about how other people use their tools (e.g. using C++17 properly means re-writing the whole toolchain from scratch, have fun!). Yet those views are based on a closed and mostly unpublished ecosystem.

Let alone how terrible bazel does with dynamic libraries on windows (each cc_library then outputs a dll! yay!).

I don't think you realize how for anyone outside of Google bazel's tagline might as well be "The best terrible option".
I'm starting to suspect that!
Freedom of expression inherently includes the freedom to pay for expression.

What are your expression worth if you wouldn’t be able to pay a service, cellphone/internet connection/reddit gold to express that? How is paying ads different than paying a campaigner set up a loudspeaker in the middle of a city?

But then again, since twitter is a private enterprise, I fully respect their right to act on their own platform.

Show HN: Micro CRM, a CRM for People Who Hate CRMs
Hello Community!
My name is Charles-Eugene Loubao, I am a software developer who recently turned into an Indie Maker and I am sharing my new product with you today.

Micro CRM is a Customer Relationship Managment web app built to be easy to use and intuitive. Most CRMs can be complicated to use and come with an expensive price tag. Micro CRM is built to fill that need for a much simpler and cheaper contact managment platform that offers compeling features without being overwhelming.

What can I do with it ?

- Keep all your contacts in one place - Timestamped notes can be used to keep track of events associated with your contacts, or as a call log.

By getting the Premium Plan you also can also:

- Import your existing contacts from Excel CSV files - Organize easily with tags - Create email reminders to help you remember follow-ups

What's next ?

Micro CRM is in it's early days and I am planning on adding the following features:

- Search - Sorting and Filtering - Custom fields - Contact attachments (files, links, images, etc) - Team Collaboration - Possible Integrations (email, calendar, Slack, etc)

How much does it cost ?

Micro CRM is free to use for manual entry and simple contact managment. The premium plan is $5/month and for a limited time I am offering a free 30 days trial with no credit card required when you create your account.

Head to https://microcrm.cc and create your free account today!
>Yeah, that was a big "IF". But, we will see. If it fails, reverse the ban...I guess.

And in the meantime, how many adults have you harmed by taking away an effective smoking cessation device in some naive attempt to protect children from a threat that you can't even quantify?

Treat them like cigarette companies when it comes to advertising, I'm all for that, but don't take away flavors or ban them outright out of fear.

>when talking about things with massive doses of nicotine

No one is dying from nicotine.

>f the world worked the way I wanted and laws had 100% efficacy, alcohol would be banned too. But, alas it is so deeply ingrained into our collective social psyche that it is going nowhere.

Jesus.
But what is the relation between being independent-minded and prohibiting others in your neighbourhood from building more densely?
The joints do get worn out with the age tho..
IMO the difference is a combination of two things:

* the unprecedented targeting ability of social media ads vs traditional broadcast/print
* the unprecedented amount of disinformation (especially from foreign governments) vs traditional broadcast/print

If you can't see the difference between the two, frankly, you haven't been paying attention.
It'll get easier over time, just like most cars.

I think once EVs become more generally popular we will see more little modding companies pop up like they do for most ICE "performance-ey" cars, but even now there are a good amount of non-performance mods available for Tesla's. A popular one is a powered trunk for Model 3s that can even be closed from the app via a canbus interface.

Hell my last car was an Audi TT, and there was a damn app you could buy that would let you root and modify the car!
Even if everyone is doing everything really well, there will always be the endless battle between "usability" aka having a few obviously-named-and-organized features that a new user can instantly understand (while severely limiting overall functionality) - think Asana task management software - vs. "flexibility" which is having all the features anyone could want which almost invariable leads to bloated incomprehensible menus that lead to menus that lead to more damn menus - think Jira or Salesforce.

I think non-enterprise sites/web apps are usually going to tack toward "usability" and enterprise sites/web apps are usually going to tack toward "flexibility".
You should try reading the second post, where they relate what contemporary Greeks of other states thought of Spartans' treatment of helots. It's not bias.

No, it isn't wrong; guilt by association is not a civilised concept.

And if someone commits a crime then the courts determine an appropriate punishment and that is the end of what gets called 'wrong'.

I'm on board if you don't want to talk to convicted paedophiles - seems reasonable to me - but being judgemental of someone else's relationships is not fair.
The whole issue seems to be based around making judgements about the truth to me. The initial problem is that political ads are high risk for distribution of false or deceptive information. Fact checking them is too fraught with issues, so you just decide to ban them all instead. Now you’ve just kicked the can down the road a bit and narrowed your search of truth to “is this political or non-political”.

> It's really about whether Facebook should be used to amplify political speech

Which I would assert that any attempt to control would require FB to make value judgements about said speech, naturally resulting in FB enforcing some particular set of values.

I would say that FB and other big tech firms have been following a trend that’s been seen in government a lot in recent times. Identify some threat to public wellbeing (in terms of government the canonical example would be terrorism), and leverage it to gain more power and influence. It’s no secret that society generally walks away from a terrorist attack with less freedom than it had before. For the big tech firms the threat has been “fake news” or “misinformation”, and they’ve been pretty consistent with the response of “we need to exert more control over the flow of information and public discourse to combat this”. Putting aside any debate about whether they should be allowed to do this, I think it’s overall a harmful outcome for society, and I’m surprised that FB hasn’t taken the same approach in this case.

Police use military terminology when talking among themselves. Many current police officers come from the military before becoming police. Officers refer to non-LEO as "civilians". If the police are supposed to be a civilian agency, someone forgot to tell them. The "us v. them" mentality comes from both sides. Though my personal opinion is: the police (and the government they serve) started it and actively encourage it.
Print advertisements have a history of being subject to editorial review.
Telling the government "I know you've told me to take it down, but we specifically designed it in such a way that we can't take it down" sounds like an incredibly good legal strategy that will definitely not backfire.
A question is whether HTML5 can be as fast and lightweight as flash. I think it's a big part of the experience and can be hit or miss in HTML, with some things being faster but others resource hogs (like video). The good thing about flash was its more or less consistent performance, and generally not very cpu intensive
> revolting userbase

There's no need to insult every single Twitter user like that :-)
Thought I don't have an objection to Twitter not accepting political advertising, their rationalization sounds like they're saying voters are too stupid to figure out what to believe so it's best if they are put in a bubble. It's interesting how closely this matches the arguments against labeling GMO foods because consumers are too stupid to decide for themselves if GMO food is harmless or not.

We love democracy. We love freedom. We love choice. But mostly in theory and not so much in practice when it comes to the masses. Anyone seen Napoleon, Squealer, and Snowball hanging around?
Unless another recourse is found then banning all political ads will increase the role prior name recognition plays in politics. It is difficult for lesser known politicians to overcome incumbents and this would make it even more difficult.

Another recourse, would, for example, be unbiased open debates where candidates can promote themselves, I think this is a great idea personally but it won't work without

1. Public funding.

2. Actual enforcement of the unbiased natures of these debates.
It would be more accurate to say that deliberate lies are sometimes not free speech as decided by the courts. These circumstances include false advertising, libel, and slander.
"You'll get X in future updates" is usually a prominent part of Tesla's marketing.
> and yet he's generally leaning left of course

Words clearly do not have meanings anymore
There is basically no way to parse that as "preserve" without the rest of the document stopping to make sense:

E.g

> judicial authorities are responsible for the supervision and control of websites in order to prevent the dissemination of criminal content

> other repositories with the same information have been created to prevent the content being withheld|preserve.

It is quite clear they meant withhold. The document just does not "click" anymore if you parse it as "preserve".

Also: No one in Spain would use "retener" to mean "preserve" as a synonym of "archive", anyway. "Retener" might loosely translate to preserve as in "to remain unchanged during a flow/process", but not in any of the other senses, and this is not the sense that is used here.

And, if there are was possibly any doubt left, Spain actually blocked the corresponding github.io subdomain (redirecting it to the usual "Your national FBI equivalent has blocked this domain for your protection" page) before sending this Github takedown notice (likely because they did not dare "withhold" the entirety of github.com itself).
My understanding is that social activities are even more important than mentally stimulating activities.

It is 100% legal to send mailers or put up billboards (which are not as regulated as shared spectrum for TV/radio) with the wrong election date to people, and this happens a couple of times every election cycle. Sometimes its government agencies, sometimes its a campaign (first example that popped up when googling: https://www.newsday.com/long-island/politics/spin-cycle/zeld...). I don't think any of them has been investigated by the FEC.

Nothing to see here unfortunately, he's like any other politician. I mean you wouldn't be able to tell he's received a Fields medal by the way he speaks and what propositions he makes.

Slippery slope arguments like this are stupid because a government determined to be a bad actor isn't going to let a constitution stop them. Russia has a constitution, heck, Soviet Russia did.

The reality of having laws against broadcasting lies is that they will be applied sensibly if the rest of the system is sensible - and if it is not, you have worse problems.

I'd love it if Dorsey did this for the right reasons (and applaud the effort regardless), but seems far more likely that this netted out as a bigger publicity win.

It's probably because Hillary Clinton and the DNC have blamed a small Facebook ad campaign for losing their campaign, so the hysteria has built from that.
The headline is a weird, cherry-picked minor point from within the article. I had to Ctrl+F to even find it (after skimming).
This is an imprecise description of the AGPL that may feed common misconceptions.

* If you don't modify the AGPL program, you don't have to offer source.

* The AGPL is viral in exactly the same way as the GPL. Programs don't become subject transitively to the AGPL just because they communicate over a network.

If busybox was AGPL, you wouldn't have to distribute source code unless you modified busybox and it communicated over a network with users. Even then, you would only have to distribute the modified code for busybox, not other services that it might communicate with.
Off topic (sorry): Dropbox's overall typography is blatantly offensive to the eye.
Certainly with how media organizations are currently oriented and the assumption that those organizations will continue to be able to advertise or opine on candidates. But there is no definite reason that news network needs to be chasing stories 24/7 as they are now, that's a relatively new trend.
Dropbox could be much more dependent on Python 2 than the average user, because from what I've read, they use a heavily modified version of the interpreter for obfuscation purposes (e.g. scrambling of opcodes). On internal projects, that is likely to be different, of course.
