Facebook is American company responsible for complying with directives from the US Government. If one doesn't trust the US, then one should not trust Facebook.

How is this any different? The US is one of the Five Eyes countries. They routinely spy on their own people (see Snowdon et al). I see no difference between the two in this regard, other than the US has a court system that sometimes acts independently and has a Constitution that sometimes is followed.

Or perhaps one should not assume anything about accuracy just from the numeric presentation of the value and when the accuracy is relevant, it should be mentioned explicitly (or looked for in the original source). Numeric presentation is just too vague way to represent such complex issue as accuracy.

Not rounding values after conversion has an advantage that it does not change the meaning of the claim, while rounding requires evaulating assumptions of the original claim to ensure it is done properly.

Also note that rouding of intervals is different than rounding of each of its bound value separately. If the original claim is 'the value is between 110 - 155 K', then proper rounding should be -164 - -119 degC to ensure that the original inverval is inside the new interval so the meaning of the original claim (with its implicit probabilistic assumptions) still holds, just is less accurate.

In many applications, such as filtering queries to a data store (Figure 1), the Bloom filter will start out empty and fill as items are added to the data store and inserted into the Bloom filter. The false positive rate will be very low and then increase non-linearly as the Bloom filter fills. The average false positive rate over the life of the filter is much lower than the design false positive rate for the full filter given by the math.

The slip-ups I'm referring to were largely spur-of-the-moment social blunders; there's only one general principle I know he has that I think is wrong. If he hadn't made those, there'd be less fodder against him, so he could do more. I'm glad he's not making them as much, but he's still doing it enough that he had to resign from the FSF to prevent it from being dragged down by association with him.

That is regulation of commerce. A publisher exchanging books for detailed account of everything you do cannot be prevented from doing so. If they violate tax law their business license and finances maybe jeopardized but their right to exchange information is not.

Signal and Briar were examples. Ok, telegram, it's russian so should it be banned? Espionage has to di with state and national secrets. A foreign government spying on americans with their knowledge and consent is not espionage. How is facebook literally recording without consent not a bigger issue? Please ban facebook before tiktok. Google and Amazon have home assistants spying on americans which is magnitudes of order worse thab tiktok!

This is the thing you have to undetstand, bytedance (tiktok's creator) being cozy with ccp is not a whole lot different than facebook and zuckergerg being in bed with the trump admin or Google being in bed with obama admin ,except China is an ocean many nukes away from doing actual harm to americans and your own government is literally facilitating the death of your own citizens as we speak! Ban facebook,google and amazon because they are helping tear apart america while you're at it!

This is pure politics, sacrificing your right in fear of a boogeyman in China because the boogeyman here is on your side. You don't get to do that, if you disagree with the bill of rights have a constitutional convention and change it.

I get to to communicate with tiktok or even the chinese government if I want. And if I share my private life with them that's my right too. The government has no authority to prevent free excercise of my rights even if they don't like it.

Right now and in 2016 facebook was used to manipulate elections in the US. Shut it down because thay clearly is a national security risk if you truly believe the government policing what private information you share or consume is a good idea.
Game Dev Reviews a Unique, Surreal FPS
> Just after 9 am on December 6, 1917, in Halifax, mustachioed 45-year-old train dispatcher Vincent Coleman knew the lazy plume of smoke coming from the explosive-laden vessel in Halifax harbor was a terrifying portent of worse to come. But as the other dispatchers ran for their lives, Coleman realized the number of train passengers set to arrive at Halifax any moment, and so he stayed long enough to send one final telegram: “Hold up the train. Munitions ship on fire and making for Pier 6 ... Goodbye boys.” Coleman died in the blast at 9:05, but his final message saved thousands, not just the passengers on the trains that were able to stop before entering the zone of destruction, but also the citizens already in Halifax: The telegram signal reached every operator in the surrounding region, and because of Coleman’s quick thinking, every doctor who felt the earth rumble, up to 160 km away, had almost immediate access to news about what had happened. They rushed in to help.

This particular tit-bit at the end of the article is a gem. Times like these tend to also bring the best in some of us.
Exactly, this request is best described as childish; if not, cringe-worthy.

While the FSF's points are valid, they are eternally weak on actually convincing others to abandon 'non-free software' from (Zoom or Hangouts to Windows or Mac). They are at the point where they have 'won the argument', but still have failed to gain any momentum in convincing the general public or developers and resort to. this.

Not exactly the sort of people that can become social media sensations or have the reach of a Gen-Z 'influencer' to install free-software alternatives because no spyware, no data-collection blah blah blah.

I continue to cringe at the sight of that video.
>I’d go as far as to say that with the dissolution of Christianity as a cohesive unifying religion within the US values and morality no longer exist as such. Each person’s beliefs change almost daily given how fast information and ideas spread on the internet and social networks. Appeals to morality are essentially dead in my opinion.

Yet in other developed countries (like many in Europe) where Christianity is no longer the dominant cultural institution, there is more social cohesiveness.

Religion in the US has been weaponised for political ends and became a means of tribal division in society.

I make no claim to have any expertise in this field.

depending on what country you are from, you could be from a country that has a set of civil laws, as opposed to a country with a set of common laws.

common law countries tend to have enumerated rights that the government cannot take away, while civil law countries tend to have rights that because of the way that particular society is built, you have these rights.

The u.s. is the common-law state because of our declaration of Independence and Constitution that speak about how all men are created equal (before God) and thus since the government rules by the consent of the governed, the laws eumerated in things like the Bill of Rights are things that are just off limits to the US government, with limited scope contextual restrictions to non-negotiable absolute rights depending on their wordings.

I'd like to see a similar approach to what happened with tobacco: test apps for spyware, put warning labels in big letters (or simple icons) right up front, teach kids about the dangers in school, but ultimately let everyone decide what they do.

Of course, just as with tobacco there are huge American companies which are going to oppose this sort of transparency. And of course rolling out teaching standards requires that some standardization for app privacy exist in the first place, so I don't expect this to happen fast (if it could ever happen at all).

Well, i usually use 'soy meat' example, which is obviously not meat. The case where adjective moves meaning outside of boundaries of original meaning, instead of just making it more precise, is kind of perverse. Perhaps people should use hyphen to make it one term in cases where the meaning is not result of composition (e.g. 'dwarf-planet' and 'soy-meat' vs. 'big planet' and 'pork meat').
China doesn't care about you because you're not a good target, you want to know who is a good Target? Chinese people living in your country, they can be blackmailed into doing things against the interests of your government.

Hmmm. It is difficult to put what I've observed into words but as an example: look at the way people are reacting to TikTok hypothetically enforcing Chinese norms and laws on the rest of the globe. Then look at the way people pretty much just shrug and make excuses when it comes to US companies actually enforcing US norms and laws on everybody else (e.g. Github banning people that are from countries the US doesn't like without pretty much no warning, or that time that Tumblr was blocking LGBT content from showing up in search because of the SESTA/FOSTA thing).

On a pervasive level, it's in the way a lot of Americans on social media tend to assume that all content is necessarily intended for or addressed to them somehow. For instance many people I know have had an American hate train jump on their tweets that were talking about one issue or the other from a local lens - as though we should be constantly filtering ourselves and our language to cater to America's sensibilities. I've never seen quite that level of arrogance from anyone else.

Yes, I think you didn't understand. The question was "why". If newline characters (hypothetically) separated lines rather than terminated them, like how commas separate fields in some situations rather than terminate them, then, in that hypothetical situation, you would not be able to distinguish zero lines from one empty line. This may not be the historical reason for non-empty files ending with a newline, but it's a motivation for that rule.

In most of the cases where commas separate things either those things are not allowed to be empty or there has to be at least one thing, so there's no problem. But you have to watch out for cases in which you don't have those conditions because then you get the ambiguity.

It makes sense if it’s better than your next best option.

Stupid question, slightly off-topic but why every web app needs to be ready to scale and serve a billion users? I don't mean this in the pessimistic way of "be real you are not next Facebook". My question is what do you think all that money is for, one you are asking for from VCs? Facebook was not ready for a million users in the beginning. You need old stable and safe tech that will not crash your demo or provide horrible user experience to important first-generation users. Every time alpha breaks catastrophically is because somebody ambitiously tried something not well documented or understood. People understand MySQL. why would you add extra time and cost to your original first budget? to prove what? I understand it makes job less "job" and more fun but is it truly worth experimenting while you are fighting for survival? If I put all the dead startups in my cv it would be 50 pages long

The Euro was and is not as bad IMO as many people make it to be. I'm half Croat, half German and I remember when visiting Croatia pre-Euro rollout that you had to do three currency exchanges along the trip - from Deutsche Mark to Austrian Schilling to Slovenian Tolar to Croatian Kuna. Today? It's only the Croatian Kuna which is probably going away in 2023-2025. Everywhere else I can pay with a credit card without paying any "currency conversion" fees or exchange rates far away from actual market rates. And especially you don't lose hours upon hours on useless border control any more (with the exception of the SL-HR border and the idiocy at the German border).

And it's not just tourism. Euro + SEPA + free movement between countries are what fueled the growth of the European economy pre-rona. That all of this got attacked in the recent years (no matter if Italy/Greece threatening/being threatened with Euro removal or Germany's Seehofer introducing border controls again to "combat immigration" aka get rid of refugees) is saddening.

The people who want to dial back European unification are going to cost Europe a lot, especially the ability to compete with the US on the global stage.

Do note that this does not mean there are no problems relating to the Euro - especially the economic disparity between the powerhouses Germany/France and the (South) Eastern European countries - but these should be solved by wealth transfers and nation building, not by risking all progress of the last decades!
