As long as Facebook picks and chooses what content it displays on my feed, it is not at all inconsistent for it to pick and choose what content it will not display on my feed.

Facebook isn't a dumb pipe. If it feels like it can fiddle with my feed to maximize its profit, its perfectly reasonable for its employees to demand that it does so in an ethical way.

Your argument would work if it were a dumb pipe (Like my phone line is.)
The notion that a medium can be above politics is, itself, a political opinion.

The antithesis is "The medium is the message."

Facebook can do whatever it wants, including policing communications on its platform; it's a for-profit company.
Humor aside: oven-roasted or pan-seared broccoli with garlic, salt, and butter tastes amazing! And depending on how much salt and butter you add, is probably way safer to eat than black liquorice.
Wasn't the whole "involuntary sterilization" thing a single woman who had her uterus removed as treatment for cancer? Yes, arguably the doctor should have tried to remove a smaller section of that uterus... But it's not obviously the wrong call from the information I remember.

Had the woman in question not been given surgery, we'd be having a similar discussion about ICE not providing appropriate medical care...
As a user, I don't want more app stores all over my phone. I don't want more app stores all over my game console or PC either. Compare it to the Windows gaming world, where if you want game 1, you need to go to store A, if you want game 2, you need to install store B, if you want game 3, you need to install store C. Yuck! What end user wants that hassle?
That would be: "First, turn it off and then back on."
This is a disingenuous argument that neglects to include the fact that 'misinformation' and 'violence' are stretched beyond the pale by ideologues in order to justify why something they disagree with politically should be removed on these platforms.
But it's not the only way to get to work. You can use Lyft (Android).
And when it's done for the day, it's done. You can't turn on your TV every 7 minutes to check for new General Hospital, and even if you binged 57 years of episodes, you would in time exhaust the content.

Good documentation is hard but, in the current jargon, it is a value multiplier — or rather, poor or missing documentation is a value multiplier with a factor ≪1.

Good documentation also needs ‘testing’ by someone who is not already familiar with the content.
I get your point and I personally do consider the dietary habits of many Americans outright insane (though it has to be said that many may have not as much "choice" to eat more healthy, since healthy food appears to have become a inaccessible privilege for many).

However, I would (in periods) eat up to 500~700 grams of this stuff myself. Not quite what you could call a small amount by any measure. Still, not a single health issue. I'm over 40.

What I think is the bigger problem here is a sensationalized and alarmist presentation of an individual case, where supposedly a "medical" explanation is given for how licorice was the culprit. In reality there might be many other (and possibly more significant) factors involved.

I think that what pisses me off most here, is that the BCC (hiding under a protective cover of presenting "news", while pursuing more clicks), implicitly (and probably unintentionally) more or less is giving false "medical advice" to readers who just don't know any better (unless they come from a culture where licorice is popular).
if you want your IP protections, yes. Companies don't exist in vacuum, they are subject to laws of the land, some of them advocated by people called programmers. If it's fine for companies to demand IP protection, it's fine for developers to demand fair access to that market.
I wonder if there's a functional reason why they do this, rather than just implementing responsive design / media queries? I seem to remember more sites doing this ~5 years ago, but based on what I see, it has fallen out of favour.

(Actually found some info if anyone is curious: https://medium.com/freely-sharing-the-sum-of-all-knowledge/w.... Though the article helps explain some of the context and reasoning, I don't think it really justifies the divergent experience and imperceptible progress on improving the desktop experience)
The HP has a box to tick in the UEFI where it loads the MS keys. I never tried it, so I don't know if that is in addition to whatever keys are configured or if it replaces the custom keys. As there's a different option to clear all keys, I would hope it's the former.

I think in this case there are two problems, more related to the hardware and SecureBoot implementation rather than secureboot itself.

1. Shoddy hardware that doesn't allow the user to control it.

2. A process that is relatively involved, although I'm not sure how you could go about providing an "easy way" for people without technical skills.

One way or another, the keys have to get in the UEFI. It's technically possible to configure them from inside Linux (while it's running) – this worked on an HP EliteDesk – but the UEFI SecureBoot has to be disabled. I suppose that's relatively simple to do, certainly simple enough for someone interested in trying linux (as opposed to people who don't care what os they use as long as they can accomplish what they want with their computers).

I guess a nice way would be for the UEFI to expose some sort of interface where the OS can change the keys and then, on reboot, asks the user if they really wanted to the change. But this would still be a problem for the initial setup, because, if booting linux (instead of the usual windows) you are actually booting a different OS than what the UEFI expects.
If employees are feeling like their values are no longer in alignment with the company they can leave. ICE is hiring.
From what I've seen, I don't think $5K per year is a big chunk of a Facebook engineer's compensation. In any case, the bigger issue is that this situation exposes how utterly dependent these engineers are on their employer, not just for money but for basic life functionality. Only a tiny number of companies in the world offer this level of "service" to employees. What happens if and when they no longer work at Facebook? The company has seemingly turned its employees into helpless children, or at least never forced them to grow up after leaving college. If "continue to live like you're in the dorm" is a "perk", maybe it shouldn't be.
This cannot be under-emphasized.

Facebook isn't a neutral medium. There's an algorithm that determines priority for data hitting every user's feed.
At that time, most people programmed in static, compiled languages like Fortran, C, or Pascal. If you wanted a powerful dynamic language with an interactive REPL and garbage collection, Lisp was almost the only choice. Since then, those attractive features of Lisp have been incorporated into many other popular languages: Python, Javascript, Ruby, etc. etc.
All or nothing thinking has obviously not worked for addressing climate issues. Thus - you see all these more pragmatic solutions popping up.

You're not going to convince even 10% of the global population to convert to veganism in the next 10 years. I agree it would be great but the real world needs to be dealt with.
Yes, but remember that retailers can (and often do) promise to match the best price that you can find at their competitors. This is because retailers are in competition with each other for the same products.

This analogy does not apply to Apple, because it has no motivation to price match, because nobody is allowed to sell i-device apps except for Apple.

Edit: in addition, if we follow your analogy further, Costco could demand 30% from Apple on all purchases made through the App Store, for iPhones sold in Costco. Just like Apple demands a cut of all purchases after they sell a product in their store.
How so? To me it seems like a clause like it is required to protect their business from the "Open Distro for Elasticsearch" scenario.
… and nothing of value would be lost.
I love how easy it is to view the machine code for a function. Julia actually ships with a handful of these introspection macros: https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/devdocs/reflection/#Interme.... They are invaluable when it comes to optimization.
> Do you believe that you hold your beliefs because of some great achievement, and not "just because"?

I believe that I hold my current beliefs because I have considered my old beliefs and tried to work on improving them. As someone who grew up in 70s UK, I grew up seeing casual racism, homophobia, sexism, etc. on TV every day and, yeah, that definitely helped shape, if not specific opinions about the worth of people, then certainly a casual carelessness - it would be a rare week at school without a new racist joke, for example.

Thankfully I've seen since that I was wrong and have tried to be better (but I fully admit I have a long way to go.)
Yeah, politics gets in everywhere and seems impossible to avoid it. Even if you purposefully avoid it, you're making a political statement.

On one hand, what does it mean to have a "no politics at work" policy? If Hootsuite have contracts with ICE, it's already political at that point, as they are helping the organization be more efficient/valuable/whatever. If they don't take any contracts that might be political, they won't be able to do any business at all.

On the other hand, for-profit companies goal is to get profits. If they prioritize political stances in-front of that, they are bound to confuse people who are working there, who understands it's a business, not a political/non-profit organization.
Should flat earthism and antivaxxers be allowed the same audience and opportunity to go viral as actual science? Well, my comment above is getting downvotes, so I guess the HN libertarians think the answer is "yes."
Yes, if you're an enthusiast, it seems like good, technical fun.

But I have no idea how an "investor" could read this and think they can price the risk correctly. This isn't even the wild west of finance--this is intergalactic space.
If users want to jailbreak their devices, that's up to them.

Only because of a temporary DMCA exemption that Apple has consistently opposed. If they had their way, jailbreaking would be a federal crime.
Amazon unveils flying Ring security camera drone
Sia records the data on chain (this is a little reductionist) where as filecoin opens up a market for storage and retrieval. Sia requires you to run a full node to interact with the chain and data, filecoin does not. Sia is gearing their product towards a different use case, the most compelling being personal backups imo.

Filecoin is attempting to create an ecosystem around theirs with an in depth market around different actions on-chain.

They make different trade offs. But it’s incredibly premature to call Filecoin “poorly executed”. The connotation around “look at sia to see something that actually works” completely disregards that there are other decentralized storage providers that “actually work” and that Sia has some key drawbacks too, performance and node management being notable ones.
Easy solution.
Next time he behaves like this, call 911, REQUEST A MEDIC RESPONSE (not the fucking pigs, for fuck sake).

Request mental health eval. then he gets into the system and can get the help he needs. calling 911 and being transported via MEDIC (not cops) will help kick-start the system.

I am a medic.
Lisp was at the forefront of many high-level programming techniques that we take for granted today. The most popular of which, is functional programming: the concept of closures (the "data" that is packaged with a function as a concept), which leads to lambda, scoping rules and the like.

-----

The other part of Lisp, which is IMO highly underrated, is the purity of "List-Programming", the CAR / CDR data structure that is truly universal.

You can represent arrays, lists, sets, trees, graphs, and... basically everything... with garbage-collected CAR/CDR pairs.

Its a bit inefficient (especially on today's architectures), but the supreme flexibility of the "Lisp list", (aka: a linked-list-like CAR/CDR pair) is incredible.

Back in the days before standard libraries, Python-dictionaries, and the like, having a singular, consistent data-structure that was reasonably efficient in many use-cases (at the time CAR/CDR pairs were very efficient to traverse, not so much today anymore), and flexible for pretty much all problems in existence is a pretty neat trick.

-------

There are a few tricks that didn't really stick. Symbolic computation, with "quote" symbols and the like, was popular for compiler writers / macros, but I don't think its really come out into the greater programming community. Continuations, CLOS / Multiple-dispatch based OOP, and other features were also experimented with the Lisp community and are cool to think about but not really used outside of Lisp circles yet.
For the same reason you can’t build a phone.

You’ll be competing with multi-billion dollar corporations who have exclusive content and nobody will bother with your store.
We aren’t dealing with a monopoly, so that’s out.
I go out in public often. There I will be seen by others. I do not trust all of them, I behave and (inter)act accordingly.

You can "not trust" computers, and use them.
Thanks! We've been making a lot of updates to the documentation to make it easier to use - so glad it feels easy to follow!

I'll follow up on the Pinata docs example. There are a lot of options for how to persist content in the IPFS network, and we should describe all of them (even if Pinata is one of the smoother/easier to use ones for those new to IPFS who don't want to run their own persistent node). Feel free to file an issue or PR on that docs page if you get a second and we'll help get that fixed ASAP.

Given interest in decentralized persistence, you may be interested in collaborative clusters which allow a group of peers to all persist each other's content: https://collab.ipfscluster.io/ & https://cluster.ipfs.io/documentation/collaborative/
Prevailing ideas about moral ethics suggests that corporations are socially responsible to stakeholders and the public at large. Corporations are not black boxes that generate goods and services, they are groups of people that cooperate for a common goal. They are an inseparable part of the communities they operate in, and are inherently intertwined in the politics of that community.
Nations aren't real. People should have freedom of movement.
Do you know the specific method he got malware on his device? Because people assume that Android malware are from secondary illicit app stores, and not just malware that was not caught on Google's inferior official Play Store, or from exploits at the OS level.
Taking a contract from ICE is an inherently political act. Blaming employees for voicing their disapproval of the company leadership's political decision seems counterproductive at best.

"Leave politics out of X" is almost never actually possible. Politics is in everything. What is usually being asked is "leave politics I find uncomfortable out of X".
Polls currently favor him to win.
Never mind the fact that Facebook probably pays better than 80% of tech companies

Never mind the fact that tech salaries are already insane

Never mind the fact that there is a global pandemic and corresponding economic uncertainty

Never mind the fact that millions of people are out of work, can't afford to feed their families, and facing one of the biggest eviction crises of all time while being completely abandoned by the government

Never mind all that - where is my free food?
It looks like the site you've mentioned is auto-generated. Anyways, g6600 has no avx.
They do have embedded product placements. More sinister than ads with "sponsored" labels because there's no indication to users that it's an ad. Also, someone who watches Netflix 4+ hours a day is probably much more likely to be hooked and unable to cancel their subscription than someone who watches 30 mins a day.
What term describes a list of length 1?
And there is a reason the seller is mentioning while trying to hide mentioning that to you from Ebay.
This is highly useful for adhoc internal phishing campaigns! I know who is going to click on spear phishing links, anyone not paying 100% attention, but this helps in building internal phishing campaigns that mimick the mass produced ones. I can train my users to watch for this type of suspicious url.
Prices, you are literally not allowed to offer cheaper prices outside the App Store.
That sounds like you conceding that it would be a bad situation.

One can think that the current situation has problems and also see that the remedy will make things much worse. These are not in contradiction.
I'll take my own advice:

Everyone at ICE is a fascist pig white supremacist bootlicker racist subhuman.

There, is that better?

No it's not. Maybe if rationality was accepted we wouldn't end up in these us vs. them meme wars.
They'd suffer massive public blowback for that, atop all of their PR woes that's been mounting each year since the 2016 U.S. elections.
This exemplifies the point: our very language has become politicized. Robin Hanson calls the phenomenon "RightTalk" [0]: we care less about outcomes, or even policy positions, than simply cajoling people to use the right keywords. A trigger word like "intersectionality" (whatever the intrinsic merits of the model), yields very different mental associations and emotional reactions [1] depending on who hears it, and the ideological/tribal waters in which they swim.

Probably the most absurd political divide I've ever heard in my life is between the slogans "Black Lives Matter" and "All Lives Matter": on their surface meanings, not only are they logically compatible, but the latter actually eclipses and reinforces the former! But it's another case in point: the meanings of the phrases don't matter, let alone any ostensible outcomes. It's simply a way to wave a flag of team membership.

I had never really considered anything by ring but this just looks super cool from a techy POV and would potentially make me look into their ecosystem.
If it's in your house (server) you can do what you want with it (granted there are no laws preventing it). It's an independent for-profit company. You can kick someone out of a physical store for what they do or say all the same.
Ah Then purpose of the salty licorice with ammonium chloride must be to prevent people from consuming too much in one sitting.

Usually I can only make it 2/3rd through a single piece before the ammonia flavor is too over powering.
Does methane have any known biological function out in the wild, perhaps with microbes putting it to use? It's hard to imagine such a large quantity of energy going unused by some organism out there. Is it pretty stable at room temperature and would just sit around forever? What became of all the methane all the various livestock have produced through the millennia?
Handshake is not Eth based it runs on its own blockchain. There are still fees but they are quite small. Less than a penny per update currently.
The midwest likes the Republican candidate, but the entire Midwest gets a the same number of electoral college votes as, what, eight or nine coastal states?
I wonder if you'd feel differently about the "hired help" if companies like Facebook and Google stopped paying that "hired help" while they sit at home doing nothing during office closures.

The fact that you are getting downvoted tells me a lot. Censorship is going to never be fine, even if they pinky swear it will be used only on nazis.
Why are multiple audiologist visits necessary? Can’t they just take a 3d scan of your ear and have a computer decide which shape will fit best? I recall when Apple introduced the EarPods, they said they scanned thousands of ears and derived a shape that would fit the most. So it is possible...
Being forced to sell on multiple stores and comply with multiple sets of store rules just to access
the same set of consumers is a massive disadvantage.

There will be greater risks. It’s conceivable that fees will be a little lower, but this will only benefit larger developers who can absorb the increased costs of dealing with all the stores.

It will be nothing but destructive for smaller developers.
Things with a 1-in-4 probability happen about 1-in-4 times.
> Raising cattle in a regular diet of seaweed for its entire life and expecting it to grow correctly is still uncharted territory. Are we pushing cow metabolism to the brink of famine?

This is funny FUD. Are you aware of the circumstances that most cows are raised in right now? Chaining them down to a concrete slab for their whole lives and pumping them full of antibiotics and hormones is all kosher but feeding them seaweed instead of corn? Hold on there.
It's not a question of whether you can "make plenty of money". It's whether we want to allow private regulation of markets. Right now Google and Apple are the regulators of the mobile app market - the public has no say in how those marketplaces are run, and both companies use their ownership of the OS platforms to enforce this market control.

Antitrust actions are aimed at restoring public oversight over public markets. Two companies should not have the ability to lock developers entirely out the mobile app market.
>Does it say anything about the cost or the timeline?

Nope. I'm anecdotally basing it on past medical-study-to-realization timelines, which typically last decades-to-never

>Either you don’t have much longer left to live

I don't know how much longer I have to live.

> it’s 20/30+ years away according to you?

30+ years is a reasonable estimate. Never is another one.
Idea is pretty cool, in reality I’m not sure how useful it would be. My house doesn’t get burgled that often to be honest.
No, even if most of livestock feed was soy (I am pretty sure it was corn, but whatever), most of the food they are feed as dry matter is not edible by humans: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S22119...

I would like to see where that 98% really comes from, the links you posted talk about 70% (and most of that being consumed by poultry, not cattle). And even that seems excessive [1]. I would love to see a clear separation between the soybean. meal (leftover from oil and soybean grinding) and explicit feed grade soybeans.
