Weird code for Google Chrome text highlighting
While searching for some stuff on Google, I noticed that there was a weird hash fragment as part of the URL "#:~:text=" which seems to make Chrome highlight a specific text. Are their similar things? Is there any meaning behind the ":~:" part?
I don't know about you, but I'm curious about how best to go about destroying Zoom (the company) and eliminating all use of Zoom (the software tool) even among people who don't recognize the threat posed by corporate censorship.

Maybe you could start a conversation about that?

One of the videos that got Jesse McGraw on the FBI radar and ultimately arrested. I don't necessarily agree with the severity of his sentence or how he was treated in prison, but his behaviour was pretty reprehensible and juvenile.

It is sad he lost 10 years of his life from some pretty thoughtless actions that I'm sure had he had more life experience would not have considered undertaking.
What about the stats for the number of white players in the NBA? Are they not given an equal opportunity?
The App is used now by our workers in the wood warehouse to replace handwriting invoices. There is no online market place here. As a manager, if I want to know how the business does, I need to call the sales team at the warehouse and have a conversation for about 15 min, and I get no data to analyze. With this App, I am now getting near real-time info about the business without interrupting the workers and the sales team. The App is not for customers. The App is similar to the App that the waitress uses at the restaurant to take orders. The App can be adjusted to fit any other similar business field.

Amazon Halts Police Use of Its Facial Recognition Technology
That was my first thought as well, but I figured there must be something more to it and there is: this appears to be an application for the employees of the company use.

An android app that the workers use to collect orders from the customers. After confirming the payment, the App sends the data to the remote server.

So customers aren't meant to install this app. Though, honestly, looking at the video, it still seems like a website could do the same job. Maybe they need it to work offline (and are not aware of/don't want to bother with the web tech that tries to deal with that).

This was harassment and a fishing expedition. 65 in a 70 isn't even close to being suspicious on its own. And if he had been "operating a motor vehicle on the highway at such a slow speed as to impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic" the cop would have said that, but he didn't.

Dear Reddit, for the love of Mike .. PLEASE treat reddit as a web-first platform.

You are killing the golden goose by trying to force people toward the app - by gradually removing features and usability from the mobile web site and constantly reminding people they "should" use the app.

I don't want reddit as an 'app', I want reddit to be readable/scrollable on mobile and web without any form of coercion.
Yes, but even state and federally owned prisons use an army of specialized contractors for much of their staffing and supplies. Since many of those companies were established specifically to service prisons it creates the same incentives to spend large amount of money lobbying for harsher sentences and other policies that grow the prison industry in general. It's not much of a concern for, say, Tyson, which is so big that prisons are a tiny part of their revenue but it's a bigger issue with other services.

The fully privatized prisons are on a whole other level of messed up.

The issue is that events like this break the fourth wall and remind us that companies are willing to bend over to make profits in countries controlled by tyrannical structures like the CCP, meanwhile we then are indirectly supporting the same behaviour of bad actors.
I had to ask my twelve-year-
old daughter what a hashtag
was.

This article is bullshit. There's no way this melodrama is real.

You're telling me he could crack open memory protection faults, by stepping through assembly, and tracing opcodes in a hex editor, but he couldn't Google "what is a hashtag?"

Listen, I get that Windows 10 sucks even more than 8 or Vista, and the UEFI partitions are an unholy annoyance, but he's not trying. Someone should also let him know that Ubuntu jumped the shark in 2011, and has been undesirable ever since.

Trends have changed, different brands hold sway over the general population, but computing itself hasn't radically changed. There's just a lot more mobile device vendor lock-out, and walled gardens ruling the roost, with server-side cloud control and platform/software/infrastructure-as-a-service lock-in via dev ops.

Well, they do when they issue stock buybacks and dividends.
That goose already got killed with the new UI. It's only usable via old.reddit.com now.
I'm not sure how this is different from the existing big.LITTLE "lottery", between being scheduled on a CPU with a deep speculative pipeline and a high clock rate or a CPU with less.

If the microcoded vector ops cause your code to run slow, then you will be consuming lots of CPU time, and should be migrated to the big core anyway, right?
I agree, if a minimum limit is posted.

E.g., I remember on some highway it said max 75mph, and min 40mph.

65 in a 70 is just prudence though.
> what's to stop police departments from simply using a corporate card and signing up for a different account?

Surely there's better oversight in police management to prevent that?

Well, you know, except in Australia where the cops lied to the public about using clearview:

Or New Zealand:

https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/416913/police-stocktake-...

Or the UK:

https://globalnews.ca/news/6969069/london-police-clearview-a...

And I'm sure all the 600+ US law enforcement agencies here went through proper approval channels and oversight:

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/18/technology/clearview-priv...

:sigh:
Except you're missing the point that other countries have less-horrible prisons and programs to keep inmates somewhat connected with other human beings and better prepare them to resume a normal life after their sentence.

It doesn't matter that we can't see the future when we can look at the present in other locations and see better results. We do know another way - the US prison system is just blind to it.
Actually, Just Eat was originally Danish and moved to UK in 2005, so it is British.

In any case, the company they are talking about is "Just Eat Takeaway", which is the result of the purchase by Dutch company Takeaway.com of British company Just Eat in February 2020, so it is in fact Dutch.
Congrats on solving your internal business problem. I did something similar for a company I worked for but using windows toughbook devices. BTW, what beer is that?
>Honestly, even you saying this is BS.

"I want my replacement to be a black person" -> black person is hired -> "were they hired because of their race?"

You: How dare you even imply they were hired based on their race!

If anyone is bullshitting anyone here, it's you bullshitting yourself. The sheer mental gymnastics you're working through here to be outraged at the above must take a terrible toll.

This is to say nothing of the candidate. I'm no judge of Board of Director candidates, and largely feel it's entirely based on connections and not what you the person is capable of, but his resume and presence in the industry has obviously been stellar. I wish him well in dealing with the utter cesspit that is 2020 Reddit.com.
My guess is: Amazon writes that 99% is the recommended threshold because there is little chance of false positive. If an agency is deploying this system and complains that it isn’t working well, a solutions architect will say in a meeting (but not in writing) to lower the threshold. If it comes out that false positives occur, AWS isn’t responsible.
It's also worth bearing in mind that tacit knowledge can lead you astray. And that tacit knowledge can be developed without having to be in the same room as someone. It's just that it's learned and communicated _differently_ than explicit knowledge.

I think there's room to explore in the area of building exercises that try to build this tacit knowledge. Though some things are prohibitively expensive to learn outside of a work context. There are definitely a lot of things I've learned in a work context as a software developer that would have taken a lot longer to learn on my own.
2D incompressible Navier-Stokes ain't too shabby. The problems they investigated should have been in the abstract.

3D compressible N.-S. where error is measured via some functional of interest after direct numerical simulation of the discovered equations would be neat to see. I am curious which conservation laws it could figure out.

I didn't know about FacebookTrackingRemoval. I always used facebook_adblock[1] instead, which seems to do almost the same and has worked very well for me most of the time. I'm also seeing other comments here trying to figure out other solutions. It's making me wonder how much duplicated effort is being spent on the same problem.

Presumably the expect the election to change things.
Social good is presently defined as "whatever the mob says it is at the moment". If that mob wants to hate on something, it must be virtuous to hate it. Just go look at the front page and see what I mean.
It'd be kinda nice if we trusted the police to act as "moral authorities" instead of trampling the public's rights and privacy (and necks) with wilful abandon whenever they feel like it...
Maybe in the minority , but I think the UX of the mobile app is fantastic:
* attractive card view
* good actions from the list
* good actions from the comments view
* great performance
Specially given that turning the parameter _down_ will give you more matches. This is great for demos. "No match found" is not so great.
The problem is that the workers are not sitting in front of the computer. They are moving around inside the warehouse with the customers. For them using a phone or tablet can be the best for them. Therefore, I chose to build an App that is simple but productive.
Could you explain the logic that get you to that conclusion?

Everytime somebody has tried to argue that to me, it turns out that they believe that there are racial differences that are not based on evidence.

For example, I once had somebody say that the racial outcome differences were not like socioeconomic upbringing differences in outcome, and that though socioeconomic outcome differences were evidence of difference in opportunity, that racial differences were genetic, which is clearly abiological.

So if you are not positing racial differences in opportunity, what are you positing as the explanatory variable?
> the US government isn't locking up and "reeducating" hundreds of thousands of its own citizens.

Uhh, yes it is? Primarily urban black males.

> only an ethically and intellectually challenged person offers tacit support for [one side] because [the other] side fails some specious purity test.

This is very true though. Both sides are very evil, and laumars[0] has the right of it: we need to not trust either of them.

Moreover, if I relent and click "View on app" while on mobile, it directs me to the App Store instead of opening the app to the thread I was attempting to read. At least handoff correctly if you're going to force me to use your stupid app.
I don't think they're killing it. Anecdotally, all my friends prefer the app and the redesign to the old web client.

I suspect this anecdata is supported by Reddit's metrics, otherwise they wouldn't be pushing so hard for it (barring some other long term goal)

Not that I like the changes. I much prefer the old version.
I wanted to try this too, but my Comcast IPv6 prefix is unstable, and keeps changing.

It makes it difficult to even use IPv6 internally, because the LAN tracks the prefix, so addresses keep changing.
This is something I've not only thought out but have a design document surrounding.

What I want from graphviz is a rich library, based on D3, for building interactive web components for graphviz SVG output.

dot is an absolute dream for constructing automatic representations of graph and tree data, including great stuff like lexical scope and project maps. But simply building it into a raw SVG runs the risk of drowning in detail.

If this library were built in support of a graph generator SPA, something that lets a user tweak the huge state space of graphviz style parameters in real time, well, sky's the limit.

I work with parsers and abstract syntax trees professionally. I've been salivating over the kind of legibility we could introduce into this space with just such a library.

I know it's a huge undertaking! I think you'd find a lot of enthusiasm for actually doing it, if you organized the space to make it possible and put out a call to action.

True that - it shows brutal discrimination against all US citizens since foreigners get twice as many PhD's as all of US combined /s.

Getting PHD is grueling low paid work with insane hours and very distant payoff. You become phd if you are idealist or have nothing better to do. It is possible that with all of diversity initiatives in big tech some potential phd get siphoned off after college - at least FAANG offer livable wage compared to the 30K phd stipend.

There is infinite number of lines that go through a single data point.
Just Eat Takeaway seems to be a recent creation through the takeover of just eat by takeaway. With another acquisition so soon, I think you'd find some answers if you look at how management there is compensated. If you have a willing/uninvolved board (or a board that still loves the idea of rollup companies that grow through M&A), and aquisitions help you hit a few targets (total revenues, total market cap) that get you a bonus, well, you can see where that goes.
Yes it's awesome, you can install Ubuntu and everything just works. You get access to both file systems from each OS.

A PhD in CS is the final result of a long series of opportunities which certain groups may/may not have equitable access to. e.g. an affordable undergraduate education, resources to support students throughout undergrad, a good high school/elementary/pre-k education, and so on.
Ulysses S. Grant mentioned this technology in his personal memoirs, in the context of his childhood.

Reddit is first and foremost a business. Does that answer your question?
If you have the option set sure, but they still get flagged and removed from the thread. I just don't see how moderating comments would be considered 'censorship'. Just go post that crap on your own subreddit. If someone is purposefully highjacking a thread to derail it with off-topic comments then they would be the one attempting to suppress someones else's opinion. If the party in question is already acting in bad faith, I don't see how an argument could be made in their favor.
The app is much, much better than the site. I think you might be in the minority.
This reads to me as a stunning indictment of social networks and profit more than it does a defense of Reddit's board choice and their potential motivations.

I honestly think part of it is foreign state influence on social media, through literal fake news (not "they're biased," but "we faked a publication with fake events that never happened"), memes, and targeted manipulation designed to inflame divisions.

We're literally under attack, and these divisions are the result. For example, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence -- while controlled by Republicans -- concluded that driving factions of the U.S. ideologically apart is a chief aim of Russia's social media efforts. See pages 20-22 of Volume 2 of the 2019 Report on Russian Active Measures Campaigns:

https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/docu...

Specifically, the Republican Senate concluded that Russia's aim is to erode trust in the media, drive polarization, feed information that drives support for all political extremes (far-left, far-right, and other), and "exploit societal divisions that already exist, rather than attempt to create new ruptures." They also want to "bait[] governments to respond in a heavy-handed or improper fashion that is irreconcilable with the nation's principles and civil liberties."

It's working.
That's because PHP, like Ruby, Python and Javascript, is not an MVC framework. If you want that you have Laravel and Symfony. PHP, Laravel and Symfony are perfectly fine for returning JSON instead of HTML. I don't get your point. As for classes PHP has had them for 16 years.
Strongly agree. It seems every few months or years the tide shifts and we all move to something else. And one may use different choices for different groups or larger or smaller audiences.

No need to emotionally invest.
I'm not sure whether Microsoft is an ethical improvement over Zoom.
> https vs. http

Https is worse from a usability standpoint because of the need for trust stores and keeping them up to date. While it's mostly taken care of by the browser, it can still cause problems when you don't have anything in your truststore that can verify the other certificate.

Ssh vs rsh suffers a similar problem. If the certificate on the other side changes, you have to update your local config to allow the new certificate and will either be blocked or have warnings until you do so.

Pretty much with anything that requires certificates, usability is worse because you have to maintain the trust store in some way.

In both cases you mentioned the effects are very negligible and certainly worth the tradeoff, but strictly speaking, the usability is worse.
>constantly reminding people they "should" use the app.

It's not merely suggestions though. They have one button - stay in your mobile browser - greyed out and one bright and active - open the mobile app.

It also uses a native-ish looking UI that pops up as the sharing UI does.

It feels like they're trying to trick people into using the app, over merely reminding people that they "should".

What is social good focus to you? If you mean “bring onboard the platform more of what’s currently going on outside”, then I can’t really imagine reddit going any further than they did, other than putting some kind of a conservative-busting CAPTCHA.
