You have the freedom to speak. You don’t have the right to be heard.

Publishers have freedom of speech too. Nobody forces the NY Post to provide a column for Obama.

Facebook attempts to downplay its editorial role in pushing garbage.
> Normal people have nightmares for years after killing someone, even in the most perfectly justified cases of self defense.

This isn't an answer to the question. It is in fact a non-answer that endorses the irrational as an enlightened state.
Yes, but the issue is whether or not a lot of this speech constitutes 'hate speech'.

Do jokes about 'The French' constitute hate speech? What if it's only a joke about Macron's 'stereotypical' French action? Or not even a joke? What if the target is Chinese?

It's a minefield and we need a map, aka rules, and FB alone cannot make them. Either industry gets together, or we have some sane regulation, or we live through this insufferable toxic pop-culture corp-on-corp virtue signalling, protesting, 'my cause is the cause' cold war.
I think there's still a nationwide housing shortage, not just in urban centers. In SF and NYC, this means you get people making six figures with 3 roommates. Moving out doesn't change that there's a shortage, but it spreads it around. Some people will move in with their parents, and some will hopefully keep their coastal salary, move somewhere cheaper, and push lower income people into roommate situations. I'm expecting to hear some low-level gripes across the country about rising housing costs. Nothing like coastal levels, but levels people there might not be used to.
It’s realestate, so let’s seasonally adjusted it too (though maybe they only do this where I live).

Realestate figures always have so many adjustments that I can’t tell what anything means.
Wiktionary has a cite for the phrase “killer app” in ‘99

I don’t disagree, nor do I think that conflicts with anything I said.
The article leaves out a crucial item. When it says:

"The normal modes are plane waves traveling at the speed of light in a particular directions with a given frequency."

This is not quite correct. A correct statement would be that plane waves are one possible choice of "normal modes" for the quantum electromagnetic field. But not the only possible choice. (In more technical language, they are one possible choice of basis for the Hilbert space of states of the quantum electromagnetic field, but not the only possible choice.)

In fact, the plane wave states (whose technical name is "Fock states") are often not very useful, because they are very hard to produce experimentally and pretty much never occur naturally. The states that are closest to naturally occurring states and which are easy to produce experimentally (for example in a laser) are coherent states. But coherent states are nothing like plane waves.
Meanwhile in Chrome for me I type my project manager’s name to bring up their WebEx link I visit several times a day and it comes up but first I have to move my mouse down past several autocomplete suggestions for travel destinations and popular musicians.
Summary execution is when an accused criminal is killed without the benefit of a trial. What part of this definition are you contesting?

The "Translator's Preface" (page 8) has many instances where the letter 's' is replaced with something that looks like lowercase 'f', except where 's' is the last letter of the word.

This makes reading the text extremely difficult and infuriating. Consider 'fubject' instead of 'subject', and 'whofe' instead of 'whose'. It's like I suddenly developed a lisp or something.

Just curious why the printer of that book may have used this typeface.
It used to be two different lines in the address bar in Firefox. Then Chrome came along with the omnibar and people liked it so it stuck.
Literally anything can lead to violence. It’s just a matter of interpretation. How about stopping with the censorship and fighting with the violence itself?
I think understood the first time, but my answer is:

"I never said release stores can be implemented as fast as regular stores, but they might well be fast enough. Maybe half the throughout (1/cycle) with some other ordering related slowdowns.

In particular, maybe you can implement them as fast an acq/rel all the time CPU mode would be".

Or something like that.
Consumers should boycott Facebook too. Switch to Friendica, a distributed social network. You can invite all your friends via email.
As above, I would strongly agree with you. Both linear and logistic regression can be special cases of frameworks that are more general and far less parametric than GLM. But they also have very intuitive or hands-on explanations, especially logistic regression, which GLM doesn't have.
> My understanding is that a photon's amplitude is the likelihood of interaction at a specific point in space.

Not really, because there isn't really a well-defined wave function for a photon in the position representation (which is the one that has the interpretation "the likelihood of detection at a specific point in space").

> When speaking of many photons, amplitude (like AM radio) is simply flux, how many photons at a particular frequency exist during a given unit of time.

There isn't a well-defined answer to this question, because a state like this (which is a coherent state) is not an eigenstate of the photon number operator. (Also, energy flux is really amplitude squared.)

A good, if somewhat lengthy, discussion of the "photon" concept can be found here:

This form of the letter s was standard in the past:

Wikipedia has a long description of the history and how it went out of use. It's actually not quite identical to the letter f (it's ſ rather than f) and is also the original of the integral sign in calculus.
Yes, but if you have a large existing codebase that throws exceptions from constructors you can't just use it unchanged.
This seems reminiscent of Mozilla’s decision to rebrand “Firefox” as “Firefox browser” and put it together with their other products under the parent brand “Firefox.”

https://blog.mozilla.org/opendesign/files/2019/06/FX_Design_...

I thought this was a poor move. Everyone know Firefox as a browser. The other products which got included under the Firefox umbrella are just unoriginal browser extensions. If they came out with another, non-browser related product, it ought to be under the Mozilla brand.
It's already spreading here, unfortunately. Ten years ago, folks in the closest metro area to me used to be able to rent for $500/mo. Now, the equivalent places would be $1200/mo. Buying has gone up even more. It's great to see the place grow and become popular, but its affordability made it so charming and live-able.

The difference is how it's visualized. On Chrome, it shows you the complete path. If I type "gi" in omnibox, I can visually see "github.com/EhsanKia" and then I press enter.

In the video shown above, you visually SEE "realty.comm" (there's an extra m there which I found very strange, which makes me think this is a bug), but when the person pressed enter, it goes to realtor.com. I expect pressing enter to run the query I see, not for it to change after I press enter.
If an advanced alien species popped up, and were to observe humanity today, it probably would have a hard time understanding why a species would intentionally cripple its future so hard by punishing violators of copy-'right'.

It would even be astonished if there weren't any copyright: it wouldn't understand why empty HDD's weren't 90% capacity preloaded with STEM materials at the manufacturing plant. The user could always format.

The majority of nations are lagging in the majority of STEM subjects, why on earth don't they impose a differential STEMpty-ness tax on imported HDD's? Want to import a drive without randomized sampling of research, current and historical? pay extra to the STEM drive pot; imported a STEM drive? receive a little extra from the STEM drive pot.

Movie Review: The Gaslighting of Parasite
I have been experimenting with this and the possibilities are very exciting.

https://userdashboard.github.io/dashboard-sitemap

These screenshots are generated from the test suite for all my UI tests. I have puppeteer navigate a series of steps and save each screenshot, resizing to mobile resolutions. This is done in Chrome, Puppeteer also supports Firefox. The screenshots are then integrated with my documentation both as sitemaps like above and to demonstrate usage:

https://userdashboard.github.io/administrator/reset-codes

They are generated from a simple sequence of steps added to my tests, which can run with or without saving/generating the screenshots:

req1.screenshots = [
{ hover: '#administrator-menu-container' },
{ click: '/administrator' },
{ click: '/administrator/accounts' },
{ click: `/administrator/account?accountid=${user.account.accountid}` },
{ click: `/administrator/account-reset-codes?accountid=${user.account.accountid}` }
]

The code for parsing those steps into Puppeteer actions is available here: https://github.com/userdashboard/dashboard/blob/master/test-...

In addition to being user-friendly for documentation there is tremendous QA opportunity to being able to observe every page at every resolution. Everything required better code too, you cannot forget to link to a page or have some part of the navigated route not working or have anything going wrong anywhere.

I am finalizing localization so in the next week or so the documentation will also be able to switch between any combination of language and device.

Note: some of my documentation/screenshots hasn't generated yet
Also, Relay is built by Puppet, so not a separate company :)
Everything is being redefined as hate speech, so that's a moot point.

"White lives matter" and "it's OK to be white" are not remotely hate speech, yet those sentences are being treated as being "white supremacist" stuff now.

The laws in Europe are 1) not that great and 2) won't work in the US thanks to the 1st amendment.
At my work, clearing browser history is a red flag for audit. Their idea on the policy is anything you do on your work machine is work-related and the company has the right to see that history. If you want privacy, use your own device.

And while that’s not my policy, I’ve worked in security long enough to know... anything you do on your work computers is already being watched by the security team. Web proxies and log aggregation go a long way, especially with web proxies being able to decrypt SSL traffic on-the-fly.

IANAL but I'm not even sure there would be a lawsuit, based on this policy document linked from the article: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/DOH-resolver-policy#Enforc...

It looks like the punishment for violating mozilla policies would simply be to remove Comcast from the trusted provider group...maybe. Not very impressive.
I think it's more likely that Mozilla should be dragged into a prolonged and expensive lawsuit that Comcast has the legal might and connections to win pretty soon.
There’s a cottage industry of these terms apparently, I have “slickdeals.com” autocompleting when typing “sl” and it forwards to a google “snow leopard” search. Maddening.
Then, can we get the court to order the take down since thes bad posts are obviously illegal?

I'm not sure why we let Facebook make these judgement, instead of a proper legal due process.
This is refreshing - as someone without a degree I’m happy to see this become normalized.

You're completely missing my point. And the purpose of my hypothetical. So let me try it with your example:

>The problem was that it mis-classified entire dialects of English (meaning it completely failed at determining sentiment for certain people), deleting all comments from the people of certain cultures

What happens in the case that a particular culture is more hateful? Do we just disregard any data that indicates socially unacceptable bias?

What, only Nazis are capable of hate speech?
http://gen.lib.rus.ec/scimag/repository_torrent/

http://gen.lib.rus.ec/dbdumps/

It's something like 75TB last time I checked, over 82 million articles in total. Each torrent contains 100,000 articles, named by DOI.

If sci-hub ever gets taken offline, there are enough full backups out there that it can be re-instated fairly quickly (at least the archive of existing articles; the credentials necessary to obtain new ones are not included in these torrents or database dumps).
Regardless of motivation, Verizon has clearly made a visible public action, which is what I was talking about and what speaks to the efficacy of the activist campaign against Facebook.
Tests are a trade - you spend some dev time writing and maintaining tests, and in return you might save some time and money down the line, if the test prevents bugs from doing damage. Tests aren't always good. There are tests that are so difficult to write and maintain, that they basically never repay their dev cost.

All that is to say, I like snapshot tests. Snapshot tests can be created and updated automatically, basically making their dev cost close to 0. They are so cheap that they don't actually have to catch a lot of bugs for them to be a net positive.
I think it might do even more good to leave the system as-is, but add a short pop up whenever you upvote or downvote (clickthrough, lasts 1 second) that says “this made me think” or “this doesn’t promote discussion.” That sort of cue would subtly encourage good culture on a forum and it’s the sort of thing I plan to include in my own systems one day (if it comes up)

I worked at a startup and we had three System76 machines. 2 of them were DOA. Mine (a Serval Pro laptop) had a lot of issues with the display and getting support was a nightmare and it took so much work to get a replacement even under warranty. The other machine had a problem with the SSD. That was enough to convince me not to purchase a System76 for my next machine.
Aha! Same here, it looks like maybe DDG vs Google is the real difference here?
> The historical view of transness was that people who are trans wanted to present as the other part of the binary.

This is still how trans people think today.
And if you are into language details, you'll realize that 'transgender' literally says that - getting across to another gender.
Same way like transport meant getting to another harbour.

> I'll note that I'm intentionally simplifying here which has the consequence of erasing some identities like gender-fluidity.

> So "old" trans was about perception, "new" trans is about identity.

If the identity of gender-fluidity can be externally erased by your wording, its perception, not identity.
I'm sure the same applies to trans.

> Passing (or not) doesn't make someone's voice valid. Identity does.

The wrong assumption here is that your LGBT status can make your voice valid or invalid.
The idea that interpretation sovereignty for things comes from your subjective identity is appalling.
I'm not sure how you read that into my posting.

> Identity does. If you identify as trans, you are and that identity is valid is really how I'd summarize things.

Only a very privileged person (or lack of social experience) would be in the position to even assume that this is how things work in reality.
Subjectively identifying yourself does not work for anything except your name.
Its all about how others perceive you.

And i tell you, they explicitly told me that they want to be seen and accepted as women.
This is like, the greatest wish of people with gender dysphoria. This is definitely "perception".

> There's the potential for abuse of this, but in practice it doesn't happen.

What about Jessica Yaniv?

> I'd be careful conflating sexual deviancy with LGBT identities for two reasons [...]

I meant 'deviant' literally. As in, "deviance".
Remove the "sexual" if it bothers you.
I don't have contact fears with that word and will use it to refer to myself to reclaim it.
You better not have any problems with that.

You are repeating the mistakes of identity politics.
Like, if it was just a random opinion, fine.
But identity politics are (due to their observably wrong dogma) alienating to both LGBT people and allies.
If people go on like you, acceptance might fall enough that LGBT rights will be rolled back (already happening in the US).
And this will hit LGBT people, not you.
I'm curious, did yours also have the extra m (realty.comm)? Both the 2nd and 3rd phone the video shows has the extra m, which makes me think it's an actual bug in the autocomplete, where it has completed to "realtor.com" (notice realtor has one more letter than realty), but you actually don't see it (except the last letter, the extra m at the end). So when you press enter, it goes to realtor.

If you do get the extra m, can you play around and see what happens if you delete the extra m at the end? Does it go to realtor.co? realty.com?
Don't modern processors have more cache available between all cores than available to a single core?

You make some great points and I mostly agree with you.

I think my take is that Verizon taking this stance (on Facebook advertising) does not maximize their own financials. I think they're operating in the fog of (political) war and are giving more weight to this campaign against Facebook than they should. In doing so, they're likely alienating customers who are center-left, centrist, or conservative. Will those users switch away to a different provider? Realistically they won't do so in large numbers. But my gut tells me an even smaller number of customers would adopt Verizon specifically because they took a position on this issue, so they aren't really going to gain anything from this either. Unless of course, the play here is to weaken Facebook so that Verizon has a better shot at being a content provider themselves - in which case this is a wholly selfish move.

As for the regulation of companies' speech. I think I agree with you except in the case where companies become too big. I see Facebook, Twitter, Google (particularly with YouTube), and Amazon as being too big. These companies control so much of information flow in our societies that they are the new town square. Enough of societal discourse takes place on their platform that their acts of censorship are as problematic as governmental acts of censorship. I'd be OK with a solution that retains companies' speech but with revised/enforced anti-trust laws that breaks up big tech. I also think there's a reasonable argument to treat some of these companies as utilities and hold them to a standard of neutrality we'd expect from public agencies.
I doubt "FB going out of business" would have the effect you think. There would then be a vacuum where other actors to fill -- actors who have not experienced the lessons ($5 billion fine) that FB has.

I just don't buy the idea of "start a company, making tens of billions, then your company goes out of business" is a warning. Just like I don't think Adam Neumann's situation is a warning to anyone.

Michael Lewis relates a story about how people use Liar's Poker as inspiration, rather than a warning. Us humans are very self interested -- if there's an opportunity, people are going to take it.

LFD420 – Review
Just took LFD-420. Here is my honest review.
Tandy started circling the drain when it renamed itself to RadioShack.
Are there any phones that allow you to customize this? I recall Android having a Developer Options setting for GPS + WiFi or just GPS for Location Accuracy. But IIRC, this didn't make a substantial impact to battery life. Maybe because I'm not a passive phone user.
This sounds like you live near Ann Arbor, except prices there are even higher than $1200/mo.
