I agree. Its an impossibly thin and weird line that Facebook has to walk; there are no overarching, simple policies which, when applied unilaterally, would produce an outcome that everyone finds desirable.

I do think that a non-unilateral policy of allowing more lee-way for the accounts of government officials makes sense. Yes, its glorifying violence, and I understand Twitter's decision to hide the tweet, but we also have a right to be apprised of these borderline-insane things that our leaders are saying so we can make more informed decisions when it comes time to vote. Silencing Trump is not productive; more people need to see these things he's saying, and hopefully, make the right decision (for them) when it comes time to re-elect him or not.

I think, to be frank, its a situation similar to the old gun control argument that, when guns are outlawed, only outlaws have guns. Whether you agree with that statement or not; when Twitter censors Trump, the only people who won't hear him are Left who are participating in that discussion on the social platforms where he was censored. There are too many communication channels nowadays, and most right-wing citizens already feel so suppressed on Twitter/Facebook that they additionally monitor other platforms, where his message is shared loud and clear, with no censorship.

Additionally, I don't like the symbolism behind the supposition that these private companies are above the government. I may not like the government right now, but Twitter and Facebook should not have the right to censor government officials. You may support Twitter's actions today, but the situation could easily be flipped. The left is more technically inclined today, and most tech leaders are leftists. When the left applies pressure to Twitter, it sticks. It won't always be like this, and we need to set the precedent that at least some tactically useful form of free speech still applies on these platforms, even though they don't have a legal responsibility to uphold it.
Absolutely agree. But also, I think that IA was entirely morally right to do this. The publishers seized the opportunity to do something they've wanted to do for a while, and in my opinion, it's despicable.
> use words that have some meaning left

I'm afraid to - there aren't that many any more, and I don't know how we're going to communicate after we lose those, too. Words that still have actual meaning have to be protected carefully in the 21st century.
False Positives don't matter. It's all about mitigating False negatives enough to lower shrinkage and justify the costs of the software.
I still don't understand why they thought they would get away with it.

Did they think they could draw a confrontation with the publishers and somehow come out victorious? Or that the publishers and their legal teams would voluntarily look the other way?

I still can't tell what their plan was. Or what point they were trying to make. Or how they expected to handle the legal challenge.

It's a shame that they tied this to the Internet Archive. I seriously doubt the people who donated to the IA wanted their funds to be used on this.
All news sources are unreliable, but, yes, The Daily Mail is something apart. That said, it's the UK's 3rd biggest newspaper, has an average reading age of ~58, and is majority female readers. The 'meta' on The Daily Mail is interesting and it should not be dismissed out of hand.

> Hillary Clinton as far as I can tell still blames facebook primarily for her loss.

There is no room for doubt that the extensive campaign of voter manipulation and propaganda mounted by Russia was key to Trump's election.
Peripheral vision and detection is extremely important to avoiding accidents... what about cross traffic or children running into the road (as others have mentioned). Detecting traffic lights that are out... etc.

If you turn up the forward looking anomaly detection and safety factor too much... well, among other things, the non-linear controller is going to emergency brake for no good reason (Tesla owners have already reported this). Spurious emergency braking is extremely dangerous for traffic behind a vehicle and the danger increases at higher speeds where the controller will be even more touchy.

Oh yes, absolutely. I didn't mean to say logging isn't useful. It is vital to have good logging for production because like you said, you aren't just going to be able to attach a debugger. But for an article titled "Guide to Python Debugging", logging should be a short paragraph, not the core of the article imo. Debugging in production on the other hand... then logging makes a lot of sense to focus on.
Agricola actually got this "right"--did kinda what the article talks about--by introducing a 2-player version that, while still kinda parts-heavy, is much simpler and friendlier. You can explain and understand the rules in about 5 minutes, it's fun, simple without being easy, and very replayable.
I asked you about dancing because I used to.. anti-dance when I was trying to. At some point i started experimenting with rhythm and drums and something clicked and am not a more creative dancer than many and thought that may have been related to the spectrum but it’s probably not. Cheers
Stationary means a blackhole that is not evolving in time---one that is in a stationary state https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stationary_state Note that the article focuses on the QM meaning of stationary, but there's a perfectly good classical analogue: something which is not evolving in time.

That doesn't mean that the BH can't spin, it's that the mass, charge, angular momentum isn't changing.
Historically ice ages have not been very good for humanity.
Yeah, something like ArchiveTeam's Warrior virtual machine [1], but instead of connecting to a JSON tracker to coordinate and download content for archival, it connected to the Internet Archive's bittorrent trackers [2] and consumed then seeded the least available items constrained by the disk space available to the virtual machine. As more virtual machines are launched, item coverage increases automatically.

This doesn't take into consideration data the Internet Archive isn't providing as a torrent, such as the Wayback Machine archive or OpenLibrary. OpenLibrary can be replaced by Library Genesis [3], but I am unaware of any replacement for Wayback.

EDIT: I'd like to see a rack of Archive storage nodes in every museum or other cultural center in the world, all contributing some space, power, and connectivity to distribute digital cultural archives globally.

Bullets are the same way though;

Full metal jackets are required for war, while law enforcement use bullets for stopping power.

One way the U.S. could reduce gun deaths would be to require full metal jacket ammunition; It decreases the likelihood of death for any given hit; (though increases ricochets and likelihood of stray bullets)(also increases price of every bullet sold)

Allowing something isn't pushing something. To see how, look at the following debate:

Liberal: "Stop trying to push your views on us, let people decide for themselves whether they want to be gay."

Conservative: "You are also pushing your views, and the fact that gay marriage is allowed is a result of that. By allowing gay marriage, you are forcing your views on everyone."

So, that's clearly wrong, because as smart as it sounds to say things like "the null policy is a policy," being permissive is actually possible to distinguish from any of the particular ways one could be restrictive.

Couldn't you write the same thing about every government worker with a [retirement plan that contains stocks](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrift_Savings_Plan)? - that the actions they took led to personal financial gain? Note that the same was also true for every member of the Obama administration in the bailouts of 2008-2010.

We should care about when government action directly picking individual winners and losers in the economy leads directly to financial benefit for government individuals who made those choices - whereas this seems more analogous to complaining that government action improving the air quality in a city helped a government official's asthmatic child breathe better - why is it a problem unless the benefits are specific to his child while the costs are borne by the broader population? That certainly doesn't seem to be the case here.

What's a light ring from a time perspective? Seems as close to time travel as it gets, but that's just my pop intuition around timelike curves in spacetime. If it's a closed timelike curve outside the event horizon, is that a big deal for causality formalisms?
Right. It takes a lot of theft to pay for a whole extra human standing there. Even a minimum wage.
> IA was entirely morally right to do this

That's fair. But the consequences should have been obvious. Part of launching a test case is segregating the liability.

If IA wanted to launch a legal challenge, they should have segregated the risk from the main organization. Setting precedent with out-of-copyright and licensed works would have been one way. Allowing a third party to run the National Emergency Library would have been another.

Instead, it seems they thought of an idea and ran with it. For an organization aiming for longevity, that's poor process.

False positives may cost more than the items being protected in diverse costs.
This. The only justifiable things to censor are either direct threat/harm to life, or messages trying to disrupt the service itself. Everything else is just making bed for subjective censorship.

That said, FB is a private company that can show and hide whatever it pleases. It is the bad infrastructure of these walled content megalodons that results in this being a problem.

Truly distributed networks and darknets may be the only future for the internet we know.

Indeed, there are also plenty of great board games that are targeted towards kids! Don't need to run simplified Adult games.

The HABA publishing series is always a hit. Rhino Hero working for kids and adults alike.

First Orchard teaches the basics of game mechanics to younger kids.

Set Junior simplifies Set for kiddos.

Ice Cool is a great dexterity game.

The Magic Labyrinth (2009) involves mental mapping and memorization skills.

Looney Quest is a great drawing game as you try to collect coins and avoid the bad stuff.

Not to mention all the Junior games of heavy classics like Ticket to Ride: First Journey, My First Stone Age, etc.

Obviously the downside is they likely will outgrow these simplified versions. So the value of hacking the games you love as an adult is definitely a big plus and lets you save money and work them towards great board games. But on the other hand, why strip out all the pieces when you can play something designed for that age demographic?

Most police departments do business with extremely shady technical firms. These are things no normal say DevOps engineer has ever heard of.

One thing i have noticed is that “security conscious” people are very good at criticizing things and pointing out flaws. But they are not as good at proposing clear and workable solutions that don’t add huge burden to users.

It should be no surprise that people do insecure stuff under deadline pressure.
> I still don't understand why they thought they would get away with it

This smells of a lack of risk management more than bad risk management.
> explaining to him why these things are a problem, and I think he just very much lacks the ability to understand it

That's the problem with getting only one side of the story. Maybe he just has a different opinions - he understands them, but he disagrees that it's a problem (or the biggest problem).
I find it ok for Facebook to do something like their "Top stories" based on what their algorithm determines for me.

But I'm somewhat annoyed that "Most recent" doesn't actually sort the news feed chronologically, and also show everything. The algorithm is still doing something there.

Why Context Switching Is Expensive

My recollection it was billed as easier to setup than Sendmail. During the vote to make it default[1] it was also helped by being smaller than Postfix (at a time when Debian was still supporting floppy disks for installation). There may have been some (with hindsight naive) justification that the easier configuration would make systems more secure by avoiding common Sendmail pitfalls. But I don't think we were thinking about security 20 years ago the same as we do now. It was mostly a "if you can put it in a chroot you'll be fine" attitude.

Perhaps by forgetting to scan items stored on the bottom rack of your shopping cart.
I think this is a sensible and easily-enforceable solution. Facebook and Twitter are necessities today and oftentimes (for better or for much, much worse) are where history is being written. I think using these platforms as a highly important person geopolitically should dictate different rules than me, who has like 400 friends from the decade or so I've been on the platform, 90% of whom I haven't spoken to in years.

They have that hand scanner tool, so you can scan larger objects without picking them up, and I often will forget I have smaller objects under the larger one I scanned.

Also, scanning 1 item while holding two of it in your hand.
In America there is a culture of rushing to find center ground between two points regardless of what the points are. So now they rush to make false equivalence between large groups of many kinds of people protesting in public and a professional militarized force with government funding.
Lots of rubber bullets are big, roughly the size of a soda can. They aren’t too hard to locate and keep.

That is very much an over-generalization and dramatization. While there certainly are people who fit your description, not all people with math or CS backgrounds fit into that category. Also the existence of such people says nothing about the potential benefits of programming for people with different backgrounds. I didn't day that everybody's only tool should be the rigid logic of programming/math, but merely that learning those skills would probably complement most people's skill set nicely.
I deny you the right to put words in my mouth. That is not what I am saying, nor implying.

I am saying that, in the circumstances where a white police officer killed an unarmed black person, Antifa's ideology is to be on the side of the victim, not on the side of the police. When there are protests about that death, Antifa's ideology is to be on the side of the protesters, not on the side of the police. And Antifa isn't afraid to mix it up in the streets. If they're going to be fighting in that situation, they're going to be fighting the police, not the protesters.

That does not imply that all who fight the police are Antifa. Logic doesn't work that way.

What I am saying is that, if outsiders showed up, and if those outsiders were not running a false flag operation, then their behavior fits that of Antifa better than that of the alt-right.

There is a lot of information in the article but little to draw a conclusion from. They bring up examples where the AI failed, but that alone does not indicate it doesn't work.

An AI that fails to recognize some thefts but does recognize others can still be considered to work as long as enough thefts are caught. Imperfect, but given the low cost of a failure relative to not using an AI, imperfection seems quite tolerable. Even the false positives seem to be of little concern as they involve a shopping associate coming over and having to assist an individual. As long as the experience for the shopper remains more pleasant than waiting in line for one of the cashier operated checkouts, it is still an overall win.

So yes, the AI is imperfect, but where is the information that justifies the conclusion it doesn't work and not the conclusion that it doesn't work perfectly?

This is the best answer I know of. A secret management system is what you want, for several reasons:

1) Secrets checked into code means when the code gets stolen, this is an unimaginably major breach. Code tends to get stolen eventually and most tech shops will never know / only know years later because they don't have access to the channels who will sell your code.

2) You can track secrets you have in storage, who has access and who is using them

3) When a secret does get stolen, they can be rotated with ease. You do not want to be spending on the order of man months manually auditing a huge code base and manually indexing and rotating every secret. With good setup you can do this without taking any systems down.

4) Most support HSM / KMS systems which encrypt the data using a key in a hardware security module, which, in theory the key cannot physically leave – the HSM will re-encrypt all your other keys. The HSM, if used properly can be a continuous bottleneck to decrypting any information, meaning, if your encrypted objects are stolen, the attacker needs active access to your (e.g. AWS) KMS system to decrypt them.

Password managers are good for individual users, but provide bad security characteristics for development and deployment.

AWS Secrets manager, AWS's competitor to Vault used a similar system I worked on that was developed within Twitch for this purpose.
Sure, I don't disagree.
Yep. It may only take one or two false positives to lose a customer worth potentially orders of magnitude more than any particular item (depending on the price of the item, of course).

I’ve a background in web development with PHP, project management (for residential property development), business analysis (in sports), and marketing (for real estate). I’m also a bookkeeper well versed in Canadian sales tax and payroll, GAAP, and a bit of IFRS (have not done much public corporation accounting).

I’m open to any interesting projects. Particular interest in projects involving collecting, compiling, and reporting back in an accessible way: fintech, accounting, event ticketing, etc.

It's almost always to de-escalate. But only almost.

I'm willing to grant the police the power to appropriately use force and give them the broadest spectrum of options to match to the need. That's not dependent on them showing for a whole year with no force that they've thought about what they did wrong so far.
