That some concentration camps in other countries were also death camps is entirely the point. They are not the same thing, but they're just one step removed. In fact, thousands of people died in the American camps even though there was not an official policy of extermination.
Yes, that's why it's important to have decentralised social networks. You can have authorities to decide what is acceptable, but only for small groups.
I dont believe I was defending her. i believe in facts and the statement was factually inaccurate, She moved more conservative and started her conservative persona after the left rejected or ejected her from their circle.

Not sure how correcting the record with facts is "defending" some one but I guess in times of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act

I absolutely am not a fan of her or her works on the doxxing site
How do they connect child components to parts of the application state in PureScript? I'm looking for a mechanism like react-redux's `connect` function. Something that eliminates the need to pass state through the root component down to everything else.
There are plenty of things I have no interest in doing but have watched hours of great Youtube videos by very dedicated people in the field. The depth of some forms of user generated content is amazing and there's nothing wrong with being a spectator. There's definitely a sea of trash too though.
The dragnet surveillance apparati searching through all your communications have warrants to do so? Certainly not. They redefined what "search" means so that it's only a search if the dragnet finds something and an analyst retrieves it. This loophole lets them conduct searches with complete disregard for the 4th amendment.

So long as the courts entertain the loophole, it's more accurate to say that searches do not require a warrant than to say that they do.
I'm genuinely curious if anything produced by Walmart Labs had any sort of "commercial" success or was even adopted within the main Walmart ecosystem. I've certainly heard of hapi, but don't know if it ever gained all that much adoption. Or was it mostly a recruiting tool to make Walmart attractive to a better class of devs?
This is also why Phoenix appears as one of the US's largest cities, while its metro area is significantly smaller than other cities that have a smaller population.

I do all my illustration work on Krita. I absolutely love it, after spending most of my career working on photoshop. I use a Cintiq Wacom tablet on Linux Mint and it works wonders.
I used work for Symbian. The OS itself was great at the time (it's open sourced somewhere), and got security correct (I don't recall 'privacy' ever being an explicit goal) but it was an absolute bitch to develop for. It had its own dialect of C++ which looks nothing like modern C++, the learning curve was huge. It tried really hard to have an app ecosystem but it was nothing like what google and apple have today. Network operators desperately wanted an alternative ecosystem to avoid being dependent on Android and Apple (but mainly I believe so that they could build their own walled gardens).

But by the time Nokia took over Symbian it became apparent that they saw Linux as the future OS for high-end devices and Symbian was to be relegated to mid-level devices.

I love how part of the evidence is Julian’s public talks. I do not trust US Attorneys because they have a habit of lying and twisting facts. The original indictment against Julian was very short and ridiculous.

Let’s hope those around President Trump encourage him to pardon Julian on principle. If it’s not him, a future President will pardon him.
It's also very visible in games. For example in Dungeons and Dragons each character has 2-axis "alignement" - you can be any combination of lawful/neutral/chaotic and good/neutral/evil. And it has gameplay consequences - there are spells that detect if somebody is evil, weapons that can't be used by a good person, etc.

In many western computer RPGs like Bethesda or Bioware games they have big decisions with assigned "good" and "evil" choices, and the game counts how many times you have choosen each and gives you good or bad ending.

And it's even visible at the level of single quests - it's a trope that when you save someone in a game and (s)he offers you a prize you should decline and you'll almost guaranteed to get a better prize.

Compared to that Polish games (for example the Witcher series, but also This War of Mine and to a lesser degree Dying Light and Call of Juarez) have no "good" and "evil" decisions - instead you have decisions where each option is good for some reason and bad for another reason. And often there's a choice that ends bad either way (this is especially the Witcher trademark - there's like 100 different quests where you have to choose between 2 parties that are in conflict, both have reasons for their position, and both hate each other and no matter what you chose someone will suffer).

I find this much more realistic than the American good-vs-evil default.

I think it's mostly caused by recent history where Poland was saved from Nazi occupation by Soviet occupation and both murdered thousands of people - we are very aware culturally that being the enemy of one evil doesn't mean you're good. The whole Witcher franchise is exploration of lesser evil and price of neutrality.
You can walk into any Best Buy and buy new devices on the shelf that are running versions of Android so old they can't run apps like Netflix -- devices that are out of date now, and will never get an update. This is part of the reason Android developers need strong backwards compatibility.
This hurts. I've been using Hapi professionally for 5 years now, and it is a joi (hehe) to work with. Modules in the hapi ecosystem, ie boom, joi, and lab, are baked into my servers from top to bottom.

Much thanks to the devs that made this possible over the years. It is a shining example of what a JavaScript tool should be like. I wish it could be given the money and time it deserves.
Right, but my point is that those who grew up in that era did not adopt condom use until much later. Old Steve was known to get around a lot.
Do you think that the reason Magic Link was unsuccessful might have been from being a novel way to login that your users were just unfamiliar with? Since it’s relatively new tech, perhaps SnapHabit was just too fast to implement and was ahead of the learning curve for the general population on a new sign in method.
This would be a top tier joke if only we could rank it.
they do, the default file picker for iOS has a 'pick file' native command that then pops a system picker and then returns just the selected file but many companies would rather have full access to enable their own experience. In messaging apps, it is seeing the photos in a small view. Instagram has a full screen browser to enable their own chosen UX.

Edit: I just saw a really neat alternative view in iOS 14 whereas the 'allow access to photos' modal gives the option to pick and choose what photos are 'shown' by the OS.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that SV tends not to understand most of the non-tech markets it aims to disrupt, and instead gets occasional success by either completely ignoring/sidestepping regulations and protections (ex. Airbnb for short-term rentals) or by throwing so much investor money at undercutting incumbents that the natural market dynamics are temporarily skewed (ex. WeWork for office leasing). Innovation in most industries tends to come from people with deep expertise and team skillsets that extend far beyond software.
I don't see Microsoft PowerApps mentioned in the comments. (https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/) It's one of the most significant recent entrants into the "make an app" space. It looks like Powerpoint and its coding is simple, with formulas like Excel. They sell licenses mainly to companies (creating internal app stores).

True, but in those cases, you limit the participation in that channel. They didn't allow everyone to call in on the communication channels of the Apollo project, right?

Maybe? It's true that the outcomes have not been what I'd have hoped for, but I'm not sure we can say that leaking has had no impact. It's hard to A/B test what the outcome would be if the leaks hadn't occurred. Things might be worse. Hard to imagine how, exactly, but it's possible the leaks had enough positive impact to be worthwhile...

I am not yet fortunate enough of having been published, but I think the number of authors in any position to "demand a title" is extremely limited, they are glad about being published at all. If a publisher says "I think this title is more marketable", well, ... but it's of course not the main point I was trying to make. If you find a method that works, great, I think most "methods" are highly individual, if not flawed, and in the end, reading is reading, and that's it.

My opinion about that is deeply influenced by a professor I used to have. Once he spent one lecture just reading a brilliant essay by a British judge. He did not read it, he performed it, slowly, carefully, and it was the best lecture I ever had. And his advice was: "read slowly, or you might as well not read at all, forget the 'hacks', the speed-reading techniques, reading is enjoyment, if you have the right material, be thankful for every second, savor it", and if only I could have taken his advice more seriously at the time. I do now though.
This time the candidates are going to fight over which is more antagonistic to China. Turns out Russia is a weak country that has very little reach outside of itself other than the activities of its billionaire oligarchs. China is a far more believable big bad.

You're right. The quote should not discourage talking to users, but it should encourage true communication about the challenges that users face. In agreement with you, an important point is that most all of us are unable to articulate the specific problems we face everyday, and therefore we absolutely can't just tell some smart industrialist or software engineer how they can apply their skills to solve our problems.

My father was quite liberal. You may have missed the part where I mentioned that he quit the CIA on moral grounds?

> Why is your account just 2 weeks old?

It was made then. This was a very dumb question. One that tells more about where the person asking it is coming from than what could possibly be put into the answer itself.

What did you expect?

"Oh yes I made this account for the purposes of manipulating public opinion about Assange in this specific thread. Muahaha and I would've gotten away with it if it wasn't for someone looking at my profile creation date."
The major problem with any solution we have to contend with is the fact that the ratio of appropriate to inappropriate police interactions is unlikely to change regardless of the system or official procedure, so any system that increases the number of police interactions must therefore increase the number of inappropriate police interactions.

Consider that not everyone understands how machine learning, and specifically classifier algorithms work. When a police officer is told the confidence level is above 75% he's going to think that's a low chance of being wrong. He does not have the background in math to realize that given a large enough real population size being classified via facial recognition, a 75% confidence level is utterly useless.

The reported 75% confidence level is only valid when scanning a population size that is at most as large as the training data set's. However, we have no way of decreasing that confidence level to be accurate when comparing against the real world population size of an area without simply making the entire real population the training set. And none of that takes circumstances like low light level or lens distortion into account. The real confidence of a match after accounting for those factors would put nearly all real world use cases below 10%.

Now imagine that the same cop you have to explain this to has already been sold this system by people who work in sales and marketing. Any expectation that ALL police officers will correctly assess the systems results and behave accordingly fails to recognize that cops are human, and above all, cops are not mathematicians or data scientists. Perhaps there are processes to give police officers actionable information and training that would normally avoid problems, but all it takes is one cop getting emotional about one possible match for any carefully designed system to fail.

Again, the frequency of cops getting emotional or simply deciding that even a 10% possibility that someone they are about to question might be dangerous is too high a risk, is unlikely to change. So,providing them a system which increases their number of actionable leads and therefore interactions with the public can only increase the number incidents where police end up brutalizing or even killing someone innocent.

Despite the Pentagon and Navy’s recent actions, Julian was right — all of this is a sophisticated operation that uses bad actors to perpetuate disinformation. It is probably illegal but concerns national security with China.
What do you think would happen if an <insert nation> journalist started trying to help hackers recover secrets from French Intelligence agencies and then published them for the whole world to see? What if the leaked secrets were mostly true? Do you think the French Government would celebrate the <insert nation> journalist? Or would they do everything in their power to stop them?

Usually, yes! I’m not sure how it works with remote hearings during Covid-19 but I imagine some courts are broadcasting live streams of the proceedings while others are invitation-only. In normal circumstances where courts are open you can just show up and sit in the gallery to observe. Most housing courts have an “eviction day” once a week. If you call the courthouse ahead of time the clerk can tell you what day of the week is eviction day.
Given that there's no way countries would consider acceding to an extradition request for one of their spooks how is it legal to extradite a citizen doing the same thing the government does?

I've always been a fan of general election ballots showing names, in a randomized order, with no reference to party.
> What government restrictions do you believe liberty minded people are calling for?

People claiming that people shouldn't be sacked for expressing certain views also claim their actions are motivated by the imperative of protecting freedom of conscience and individuals' essential liberty. People firing people for expressing those views are often openly stating the belief those views are 'incorrect' and that enforcement action must be taken against those with incorrect views.

Hence my contention that reducing the debate to libertarian vs authoritarian is unhelpful, particularly when it leads to the position that everyone not equally committed to both upholding universities' rights to censor speech and abolishing Civil Rights Acts is authoritarian with a capital A.

I am pretty sure she was arrested for selling/profiting exotic sex content. Agree with it or not, selling pornography is illegal in China. I think her sentence has more to do with explicit sex content itself rather than being lesbian/gay.

This is also a perfect example of media manipulation, is it not? Put on a sensational title to grab attention, but convenient ignore the fact that similar sentences were given out to people selling straight porn. While I don't agree this should be illegal but this is not a good example of prosecutions against the LGBT group.
Russia meddled on both sides of the political aisle in the 2016 election - The Steele dossier was primary evidence used in the FISA surveillance warrant application for Carter Page [1] despite earlier official statements from House Democrats that the dossier did not inform the FISA court [2]. We also have significant evidence in the form of State Dept official communication with Steele (released by FOIA) [3] that two of the sources for the Steele dossier information were Russian government officials, one a former head of Russian intelligence (summarized here [4]). This is not to mention the other malfeasance by the FBI including forging e-mails in order to obtain a FISA renewal. This is serious stuff.

So the one-sided reporting of Russia meddling is indeed a scam. Russia meddled on behalf* (originally said behest - wrong word as far as we know) of both candidates in order to sow discord. The meddling against Clinton is well known, probably the wikileaks emails and a bunch of Facebook ads. The meddling against Trump's campaign resulted in constitutional violations by a court which is only made accountable to the public by the Inspector General report - which the mainstream media has broadly ignored or mischaracterized because it does not support their narrative that Russia meddled only on behalf of Trump. As well as Russia, our own government also meddled against Trump's administration - and they appeared to coordinate to do so. See 18 U.S. Code § 2384.

I have two Nokia N9's (running Meego) at home still. I used N9 as my daily driver until about 3 years ago. The failure of that magnificent OS, combined with the failure of the successor (Jolla / Sailfish) still annoys me.

It’s not quite the same actually. You’ll see the commentators occasionally reference Italy/The Italians or France/the French ... but the way they use “The Germans” is on a different level. I also feel like it’s also said with a weird intonation, so not “The Germans” but “The Germans” - with a little snarl :-D

I don’t know how to explain it - you’d need to watch a World Cup with BBC and ITV coverage to see it in action. England have a special footballing history with Germany so it may be related to this.

Note: not implying this was what the original person meant, this is just a silly tangent :-)
How is Purescript these days?

I haven't heard many news from its ecosystem since Phil Freeman stepped down from its active development. Purescript by Example must be quite outdated by now? I know that Alex Kelley is still working on his set of tutorials "Make the Leap from Javascript to Purescript"[0]. Anything else interesting going on?

I feel like there was a lot of excitement about Purescript in around 2015-2016, but then it sort of died out?
