Well that's wrong too.

I'm not sure the FB counts as democratic. At best he's big shades of gray with contradicting indications.

Out of the top four richest tech billionaires, according to forbes, only one of them is not most likely conservative and that one tries to stay out of politics, i.e. bill gates.

The next two have clear conservative leanings or contradicting indications, i.e. Bezos and Zuck.

Number four is Larry Ellison, who recently hosted a trump fundraiser. Well here is what wikipedia has on him:

Politics

Ellison was critical of NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden, saying that "Snowden had yet to identify a single person who had been 'wrongly injured' by the NSA's data collection".[85] He has donated to both Democratic and Republican politicians,[86] and in late 2014 hosted Republican Senator Rand Paul at a fundraiser at his home.[87][88]

Ellison was one of the top donors to Conservative Solutions PAC, a super PAC supporting Marco Rubio's 2016 presidential bid. As of February 2016, Ellison had given $4 million overall to the PAC.[89] In 2020, Ellison hosted a fundraiser for Donald Trump at his Rancho Mirage estate.[90][91]
I would say this cycle happens regardless of how vague the term is.

Terms like Black, Dwarf, Gay, etc... were all, at some point, considered insults despite being specific. (note: I'm not saying these are illnesses - just that the same phenomena exists - there are probably much better examples of what I'm trying to say).

Like most of the mainstream ones at least on a basic level, some niche, I work for multiple companies. My last attempt was over a year ago when I tried the LSP people were raving about here. Once I started digging it was very ugly. It's not only basic support but each language has a lot of extra integration you can take for granted when using an IDE (not naming what I use to avoid brand wars). For vscode that becomes an extra package you have to consciously know it's there.

E.g. I get pissed off when basic features like toggling comments for markup/data interchange/build files doesn't work or produce the wrong format. With an IDE once the feature is implemented it's usually forever and you don't have to think about it again. With third-party packages it's the wild west.
Yes a lot of people don't have this issue and love vscode, but not me. I consider "third-party" extensions a huge liability.

There is no single forum that contains as participants all of academia (and nobody else), with public viewership and the ability to DM the participants.

(One might say that Usenet did, at one point, contain all of academia within a few of its hierarchy-roots; but there's nothing stopping random quacks from posting to those. Imagine a version of the 80s where Usenet's sci. hierarchy would only accept posts from actual science departments in universities and research institutions—but where it was still mirrored for reading everywhere else—and you'd be closer.)

Really, what I badly re-invented here, was scientific journals, but with a 140-character publication limit ;)

Or IRC channels in +v mode, but where there's only 10 of them, and each one has millions of unvoiced members and thousands of voiced members.
I think that's wrong. Going from 1 64-bit channel to 2 32-bit channels has the same throughput per clock (or even slightly lower if the per-transaction overhead is paid separately on each channel).

Most states are required to have a balanced budget, which makes sense seeing as how they don't have the monetary tools available to the federal government. The state budget has to be balanced at the end of the current budget cycle. States have different budget cycles - 1 year, 2 year and 3 year. Many states have dipped into their rainy day funds. For states whose budget cycle ends this year - this could get really ugly.

It’s shocking how far they’ve fallen. But they let corruption take hold of everything, gov, economy, etc., so no one in their right minds would want to invest.

I think this culture is often the difference between a company that's in exponential growth mode - where you care more about velocity than costs. When a company becomes a stable giant, the engineering department is no longer necessarily creating value in the same way it was before and often slowly becomes bloated.

I’m not sure the translation of your argument works. America is not Rhodesia (Zimbabwe).

There is often something lost in this argument, which I think is a strength of the system, not a weakness. That is: the US Senate, which was the compromise, is a rejection of utilitarianism as the pinnacle of governing.

You don’t want tyranny of the minority, and I don’t want tyranny of the majority, so let’s have a system of checks and balances that ensures (within limits) that we address both groups.
Hopefully the make them look indistinguishable from normal glasses. I'm not gonna walk around in public looking like I have a video camera strapped to my forehead.

I think you quoted the entirety of the article that addresses national security...

The other 95% of the article was recap of what every article says about the incident, or otherwise not related to national security...

I was excited to read any possible national security implications, perhaps things I wasn't even thinking of... And I was disappointed that the 2 sentences you posted, buried in the tail of a rather long article, were the justification for the headline "profound national security implications"...

I at least hypothesized potential national security risks, instead of making vague national security claims... The article is using those 2-3 sentences to give a scarier headline to drive clicks, when it's not much better than the other stories already on here.

The picture that's formed says that the research these companies produced wouldn't exist if they hadn't had an incentive to invest in it.

Again, it's not a document-free free-for-all. From your own Snopes link:

"Potential voters “have to demonstrate proof of age, the vast majority of time people are showing a birth certificate or a passport, which also reflects citizenship. That’s arguably more secure than someone checking a box under penalty of perjury."

Even people without legal status applying for a license or ID have to provide something to identify themselves. If that's not a US birth certificate or passport, it's pretty obvious they aren't citizens and they can't be registered. Stop debating in hypotheticals. Show actual proof of fraud happening at a meaningful scale.

Some more food for thought - occasionally doctors will privately admit that many of their patients aren't really depressed, they're in fact suffering from "shit life syndrome" - in other words, their mood is the normal and natural response to the circumstances they are in.

Here's an FT article about Blackpool, a deprived seaside town in the north of England. It has the highest unemployment rate, some of the lowest life expectancy, highest rate of prescription of antidepressants, and highest rate of hard drug abuse (heroin and spice) in the country:

I just want to point out that I like a way you describe what your product does. Simple, clear examples and result. I like when people do that instead of asking for your email just to see what your product is even about.
The thing that keeps the "two hardest things in CS" joke alive and still funny is that it's so, so true.

I certainly understand it, but surely you have more on your plate than just eggs, cheese and steaks to provide calories. For what it's worth I've come across several excellent meat facsimiles. I don't worry about any potential harm coming from a smaller portion of a proper cooked meal being a processed product.
I'm not surprised. There are a fair number of people here who are somewhat hostile to religion. Heck, you could borderline count me as one of them. I think religion is a blight on our world. But I wouldn't downvote somebody for mentioning a religious text in this context because - like it or not - these works tend to be HIGHLY influential, and if you want to "understand the world" I think that understanding absolutely has to incorporate some knowledge of religion and religious beliefs.

I'm an atheist myself, but I have a whole shelf full of religious texts, including the Quran, several Bibles, Bhagavad Gita, Gnostic Bible, the Norse myths, etc. for just this reason. I doubt the historicity and literal veracity of a lot of this stuff, but knowing it has value when many other people do take it all literally.

This article's top line is really good advice. But, with respect, the author is overthinking it just a little.

When somebody helps me out, I say to their manager, "when you get a chance please tell them I'm grateful for their good work."

Was it their distinguished expertise that made it possible for them to help me? Was it a spirit of collegiality? From my perspective, I don't care when I thank them. They did me a favor, I'm happy, I'm grateful.

I feel like this is a "preach to your base" response that doesn't address any of the salient points the article raises.

So I think the challenge is well illustrated by the example they gave of when a president says "Go back to where you came from" to X-th generation immigrants.

- I feel like I'd be kidding myself not to read this as nationalist/racist. However, newspapers have traditionally been hesitant to make "value judgements" about current politicians. How can the press be honest and realistic, without condoning or condemning such remarks? (Or to make the example harder, could you hypothetically write an article about Hitler without legitimizing nor condemning him? Would failure to condemn him in a "purely objective" historical piece not read as an endorsement?)

- Or, just as easily, take Bush an Iraq. What was the correct phrasing to describe a war in Iraq based on evidence that proved to be false? Is there a way to communicate the facts without anchoring the value judgements?
Not a particular fan of the Donald during the election I thought I should watch one of his videos. I fell asleep half way then auto play played many hours of videos from him.

No, I mean that you don't leave evidence for a targeted inspection against you to find. i.e. You execute the hack cleanly, the inspection against you finds nothing, and all they are left with is your suspicious trade, which is suspicious, but not prosecutable.

Generally, in a scientific context, characterizations are wrong if they lack any scientific basis.

Personally I'm finding it a bit of a nightmare, as just about every community I'm interested in seems to require a different tool to be installed. Same for work clients.

Worse than that, some communities are fragmented into different IM tool groups.

The plethora of IM and other tools needed to stay vaguely involved in the leading edge conversation in multiple communities is a right pain for usability.

What I really want is some way to see an overview of conversations in multiple communities I'm interested in and interact with them through that. A single tool would be nice, but some way of visually integrating similar tools would be ok as well.

I was pretty happy with Pidgin for this many years ago, as it worked with almost everything. But even then I needed Skype separately. I don't think libpurple is quite as universal now.

Pardon my ignorance but what exactly was the issue with what LeCun said in that response? I feel like it's a pretty agreed upon paradigm that feeding an AI/ML algo with biased data for training will make the AI/ML algo biased. That seems unsurprising and like a perfectly valid statement so there must be something I'm missing and, at least from the article, I couldn't glean what the issue was since the response was just "I'm sick of this framing" without any kind of additional information. If I'm reading it correctly, the issue maybe was that he didn't go far enough and put too much emphasis on data set bias?
Politicians gonna politic. That doesn't mean that the 'tyranny of the majority' doesn't exist, but they're just using the words to try to score points.

I can't login to the social security website to get my statements, so, not very well in some cases. I locked myself out trying to prove my identity which basically amounts to providing information from your credit report.

To unlock the account, I'll have to visit a social security office and they'll apparently give me a one-time code. I haven't cared enough to go through the pain of doing this yet.
That may very well be true. It also only seems to work at companies without junior engineers. Junior engineers need more guidance and more feedback and a more hands on approach from their managers to guide career growth.

Most likely, although that solves a different pricing aspect. I would guess most of those are the result of automated pricing optimizations to influence your offers position among other sellers for the same product. There are services that automatically do this for amazon and other price comparison services. It can also result in a book priced at $23,698,655: http://www.michaeleisen.org/blog/?p=358 :-)
Seats. Other car makers don't use Tesla seats.
I am no fan of the police, but the problem is not a lack of footage, the problem is the lack of attention span on the part of the viewers. Videos usually get edited for brevity, and the shorter you make the video, the more likely that you get a misleading edit.

I have read that this was the case for the Rodney King incident, where the public watched a short clip on the news and got one impression, and the jury watched a longer video, which gave them a different view. The longer video was available, but not aired on TV.
I clicked on one of his videos like a year back to try to figure out what all the hubbub was about. I have auto delete history after 3 months on. Only video I ever clicked on about him, I still occasionally get inundated with his videos every once in awhile. I can also confirm that using YouTube in this way does not lead to a lot of variety, even though I am subscribed to a large amount of things. The video recommendations do not seem to ever show me when people I'm subscribed to post videos.
Not an american but I would certainly prefer that some country that I don't and never will live in spies on me than my own government who could use that data against me.

Can we stop with this idiotic "Could have started WW3" comment? I can't believe the amount of "blue checks" who've been repeating that since last night.

How do you start a war on Twitter? Let's say the hacker impersonates Trump and tweet "Missiles heading your way Kim!!", then what? First of all, every develop nation in the world has ways to detect missile launches. Second, there would just be a phone call between embassy asking "Whut??" and the situation would be solved in 15 minutes.
