>We get disinterested social networks allowing fake news that cause direct harm, created by anonymous users who they don't want to reveal.

You should probably look at the historical cases about harm and speech.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schenck_v._United_States

>The Court, in a unanimous opinion written by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., held that Schenck's criminal conviction was constitutional. The statute only applied to successful obstructions of the draft, but common-law precedents allowed prosecution for attempts that were dangerously close to success. Attempts made by speech or writing could be punished like other attempted crimes; the First Amendment did not protect speech encouraging men to resist induction, because, "when a nation is at war, many things that might be said in time of peace are such a hindrance to its effort that their utterance will not be endured so long as men fight, and that no Court could regard them as protected by any constitutional right."[7] In other words, the court held, the circumstances of wartime allow greater restrictions on free speech than would be allowed during peacetime, if only because new and greater dangers are present.

Reminder that the US has been at war since 2001.

The harm caused by whoever is the perpetrator of the moral panic of the moment always pales in comparison to the harm caused by the response to it.

Let a thousand Russian bots post on facebook, it will cause less damage to society than a single deleted post.

A single data point, even a somewhat uncertain one, is still a data point.
Bupe + naloxone doesn't give any buzz and it blocks you from getting high from other opiates. i guess maybe if you were opiate naive maybe it would IDK. but that would be really dumb to take if you want to get high take the real shit

Definitely can from methadone especially mixed with a benzo

for sure people sell it but they're going to use with or without it.

studies have shown that those who don't get long time sober and do replacement therapy on and off nonetheless have longer periods of abstinence and lower death time frames (not sure how to phrase that they dont die as much/soon)
I think discrimination happened even before America was founded!
Don't worry, lower-achieving Asian children will still be able to get into top universities through legacy admissions.

It depends what you're measuring the proportion against, and depends to such a huge degree that I really feel like we've gotta disregard the idea of detecting discrimination this way. For example, African Americans are only 4% of the population in Microsoft's home state.
I think it's best to use native speakers as oracles: you can give them a piece of language and they can tell you if it's correct/natural or how they'd phrase it. You can't expect people to go beyond that, and trying to explicitly systematize the grammar isn't necessarily important or that valuable anyway; you need to internalize the grammar (as one has done with a native language) and that's not a conscious process.
Now I have to watch it again. I was thinking of Angelina Jolie with short hair and modem relays connecting public phones... but that was hackers.
We recently implemented a subset of JQ in Clojure, converting filters and functions into Clojure predicates to allow our users to apply (K)JQ queries directly to Kafka topics holding JSON-like data (e.g Avro, Json, Transit, etc). If it's maps or vectors it works.

The basic implementation is predicate composition as we support multiple combinations of filters.

I hadn't thought any deeper about 'traversal systems' or optics, just parsing a grammar, creating predicates, and composing them. This is an interesting read, perhaps I should take the Clojure impl. further.

You underestimate the reach of the American banking system.
When you pick a door, there's three possible scenarios: A) You picked the car door B) You picked a goat door C) You picked the other goat door. All three are equally likely. But in B and C, the host only has one goat door available to open (because you already picked the other goat door) so since he has to show you a goat, he is effectively forced to tell you where the car is, since that must be the third door that has neither been picked nor opened yet - and switching doors is how you act on that information to get the car. It's only in scenario A that he gets a choice of which of the two doors to open. So there's a 2/3rds chance that he's telling you exactly where the car is, so you're better off acting on that info by switching.
I drove a 1999 Mitsubishi Montero Sport, 2004 Volvo XC90 and a 2017 Prius Prime.

Family had a variety of Honda and Toyota sedans I tried.

Would have to agree that Model 3 is by far the best car I have driven. I wouldn’t trade it for any other car in the world, except maybe a Model Y.
It feels like a specialized voice control interface with a limited set pre-programmed functionality accessible through specific hard-coded keywords (which is what I assume Teslas could be equipped with for this purpose) might have a much easier time getting things right compared to an open ended general purpose virtual assistant that has to deal with completely arbitrary voice commands and unbounded ambiguity.
>I was building a radio with my friends, they were pecking at each other at basketball, forever busy at keeping their ranks.

It seems as though you're assuming they didn't enjoy basketball as much as you enjoyed building radios, or that their friendships weren't as fulfilling as yours. There's no need to diminish other people to validate yourself.
And is that mutually exclusive to creating more opportunities for minorities to apply?

And what if the current practices sans AA are already discriminatory (e.g. try having certain natural hairstyles at your interview that don't fit the status quo)...
i believe it's 100% because of stigma and 'values preaching' and the history of methadone

buprenorphine + naloxone is nothing like methadone

suboxone has few to none of the externalities of methadone

just in general with drugs and treatment we would be so much better off if those who force their personal values upon others had some sympathy and compassion

>Twitter may assert its rights to associate with whom it pleases. Under different law (the same that protects Hacker News and every other US-based user content site in existence), Section 230 of the CDA, Twitter is also empowered to moderate as it wishes to the best of its abilities without having to be 100% perfect without incurring liability rather then being forced to choose between full common carrier or full publisher.

Absolutely. Your analysis WRT 1st Amendement and CDA230 were spot on.

I'd add that while Twitter isn't liable for the speech of the anonymous "FBI Agent", in this case no one is suing Twitter for liability.

Rather, Twitter was trying to quash a subpoena for potentially identifying data about the twitter handle "@whyspertech" in a civil suit brought by Seth Rich's brother.

The judge's order[0] upholding the subpoena lists Twitter as a "non-party" in the defamation lawsuit and provides background and context to the court's denial of the motion to quash the subpoena.

This isn't a First Amendment case at all, it's an issue of discovery in a civil case, regardless of Twitter's claim to be attempting to protect the anonymity of the twitter handle.

As the order[0] states:

"Motions to quash are limited by the scope of discovery under of Fed. R. Civ. P. 26, which
states that “[p]arties may obtain discovery regarding any nonprivileged matter that is relevant to any party’s claim or defense and proportional to the needs of the case, considering the importance of the issues at stake in the action, the amount in controversy, the parties’ relative access to relevant information, the parties’ resources, the importance of the discovery in resolving the issues, and whether the burden or expense of the proposed discovery outweighs its likely benefit.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(1). The relevancy standard under Fed. R. Civ. P. 26 also applies to third-party subpoenas."

[Removed excess whitespace for readability.]

Ah, another example of casual racism against Asians. You’re assuming that Asian kids have parents that went to top universities, and to hell with the ones that don’t have an opportunity like that - tough luck.

Affirmative action needs to go, legacy admissions need to go. Make the changes you want by providing resources to the under-privileged regardless of race, before admissions.

Don’t thrust the burden of your societal failures onto innocent children. Asian kids are not the wastebasket for society’s mistakes.
Fascinating how this discourse is always done by upper-middle-class people, who already have all the opportunities in the world in the United States.
Jalopnik rips on Tesla every single day. Every single day.

On Jalopnik today, Wednesday October 7, 9:30 pm:

3 Tesla - roof flies off! They're ignoring me! Tesla alleges sabotage!

One BMW - NEW $40000 motorcycle!
0 GM
0 Toyota
1 Ford - Mach-E $3000 cheaper!
the solution is... to not use Golang!

more specifically, fairly basic operations on a list of data does not seem like it should call for the complexity of a DSL. IMO unless you need to do this quite a bit on random datatypes, copy & paste would probably be the better alternative. Unless you're referring to a DSL that looks exactly like Golang but with generics & monomorphism.... in which case ok I guess
I think you put it very succinctly. In reality this could be as simple as diversifying the people interviewing candidates and getting down to objective hiring criteria. Negative bias is hard to spot and harder to acknowledge. Making an effort to minimize and eliminate negative bias doesn't mean reducing standards.
I assume that from Trump's perspective going south would not be a promising outcome.
> This site seems to make a big deal about not following standard terms for Japanese grammar, eg. calling 形容詞 "na-nouns" instead of "na-adjectives" and 形容動詞 "i-verbs" instead of "i-adjectives".

The site is wrong. 形容詞 are the "i-adjectives" and 形容動詞 are the "na-adjectives". [0]

It's not a good indicator of quality that the authors mixed up the traditional grammatical terms on a site promoting an alternative grammar for Japanese learners.

It sort of sucks that the project has a domain name for a project name ("names.io") but you don't own the domain.

I went to the domain because the GitHub didn't describe the format of the data. So I'd also beef up the README.
Come to the South: affirmative action isn’t a thing here. It’s a breath of fresh air. You’ll find that there are other freedoms that have been taken away from you in the north. All of them are alive and well here.
Actually, perse[1] didn't make much sense. Perse missed the point. The point is that whether some speech is prosecutable under US law is not a deciding factor of whether it should be protected under the principles of freedom of expression.

I don't follow this complaint at all. Sure, talking with native speakers is important, but what good will it do if you haven't first learned the basics of how verbs and particles work?
What I'd like to know is what 14 points means. What's that in decibels? That would tell me if it's a meaningful improvement.
Seems like a partnership like that would be based on unconditional trust.

If the other partner is responsible for restocking and collecting the cash, you have to take their word that revenues are what they claim.
Recycling is hard. There is no incentive to reuse plastic when it's less expensive to use virgin material.

The use of Solar Panels have always been more expensive and less convenient than fossil fuel but we've started to make the transition to solar power chiefly because of the energy credits that the government has been giving to encourage the development of alternative energy.

I think we need to start doing the same with plastics and other polluting trash that we output as a society. Plastics will always be less expensive to just dump and not recycle. We need to give industry an alternative. Tax credits will have the benefits of creating new industries and more jobs. Unfortunately we will face the same resistance from the fossil fuel industries that we currently experience but long term it's the right thing to do.

It would be nice to get companies to do it with out government incentives but as we have seen that just does not happen.
Why would you assume that the racial demographics of a particular corporate entity’s workforce should match the national average demographic breakdown?

Can you think of any reasons why a specific workplace’s demographics might deviate from the mean that isn’t rooted in unequal opportunity?
Waiting for pre-roll ads on YouTube certainly slows down the viewing experience. I do not use the YouTube JavaScript player. I download the video using a custom script and an HTTP client like tnftp and watch offline. Google is suggesting that users use their browser, their website and their internal player to view someone else's video file, so Google can serve ads, do tracking and collect analytics. The testing is not something generic like downloading a file from a server; instead, it uses Google protocol, Google browser, Google website, Google player and is announced on Google blog.

All to show it will benefit everyone, of course.
It's unclear to me why twitter was protecting this persons identity to begin with.

They have no obligation to do so and this persons actions were dishonest, anti-social, and likely unlawful.

If the existing system discriminates based on race you're going to have a pretty hard time combating that without using race as a factor to identify who's been discriminated against.

The news source (Fox) had a fair idea it wasn't real.

This is promising technology, but the words "just barely statistically significant" should probably be in the first paragraph of articles covering this - not halfway down the article.
I can't tell if you're being intentionally ironic or not.

Imagine telling an Asian child that they have to work way harder because of their race.

You do realize that this is exactly what marginalized races have to tell their children, right? "You will have to work harder because of the color of your skin, and it might not matter at all."

I don't know how to change the fallout of centuries of race-based slavery and the immediate drop into generational poverty, outside of trying to elevate people who don't quite deserve on merit alone over others perhaps more fit for the job.

If you don't value diversity, maybe just say so, but let's not pretend that there's an empathy or morality to dropping affirmative action because doing so decreases competition for great jobs among the privileged classes.
Interview training does nothing. The people who are pushing affirmative action are doing it on purpose because of their political ideology. These people think that if they have more women, LGBTQ, and minorities in the company, those people will support them politically and they will have more power. There is no way you can train away that. Second, you can't remove employees when their bias is in support of the managers and the company board members. Managers are selectively choosing interviewers because of their racial bias. At a previous job managers would have new hire LGBTQ or minority junior employees conduct interviews instead of senior employees who had been at the company for years. Activist board members set CEO bonus goals that scale with race and gender quotas as well. Resume doesn't matter because they recruit through special minority, women, or LGBTQ invite only recruiting events where SWM's are not even allowed in.
"When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."
how about racial biases in hiring? no hiring is completely meritocratic, even in tech
How did you calculate that a subsonic flight with no stops is faster?
That's fair. I think my point is that a statistical representation allows you to see if one race is being favored over another one. But of course it's not a straight forward analysis as you correctly pointed with the WA black population example.
There’s no getting around the fact. To the point where California is currently debating whether to remove the following phrase from their State Constitution;

The State shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting.
There are very many people who have learned to speak foreign languages while never reading any material about the grammar of the language. (In fact the vast majority have learned this way, since the vast majority of languages in history have been unwritten and uncodified.) But there are very few people who can read a grammatical description like this one and speak fluently.

Discrimination is discrimination no matter how you package it. It has been tried everywhere since probably first humans in a manner which “fit” opinions prevalent during particular times.

This is exactly what algorithms are at the level of almost any language's included libraries. The name seems spot on.
What rules of freedom of expression actually cover false impersonation?
Fox ran the story despite the journalists knowing it was likely a fake document. From messages quoted in the judge's order[1]:

In the texts, Biggs stated “It’s a fake for sure.” Zimmerman responded “Do you know anything about him or where he really works or who he is? . . . [I’m] wondering why he passed a fake document when other info he’s shared has been spot on.”

Rights are a societal construct and there is no higher moral authority who gets to decide what the true set of of inalienable rights are. If you decide that X is an inalienable right and the society around you doesn’t agree, on what grounds do you have the authority to claim that everybody else is wrong and only you are in possession of the Truth?

You're right but I don't think staying accurate is all that important in this case. Judging by the "Features" section this seems to be mostly concerned with recognizing names in strings which means you can discard some extra information as long as you can still accurately match names without too many false positives. I can't say anything about exhaustiveness.
> (mis-configured potentiometer + non-limited current dwaw) I didn't feel safe anymore to continue and basically stopped doing that kind of stuff.

Sorry, this gave me a chuckle as it effectively encapsulates engineers.

The "Light Emitting Resistor" is a rite of passage. It's when you finally understand that it's called "Ohm's Law" for a reason.
It's not reasonable to use the general population as the reference. Should NBA players' races reflect the general population's? There are better references like the number of African Americans graduating with computer science degrees. And if that number is low, that's the one to boost.

I feel like with how easy it is to remove the side panels there will be aftermarket toned-down black ones made.
The point is dismissing anybody/somebody/everybodies' view out of hand or minimizing it down to complaints means you are missing when valid points are being made.

You are not showing a desire to discuss specific, measurable, realistic and timely issues. You and most unionists here have a view of a utopian union that is above criticism and does not need examination.

Which supports my view that this is about feelings and not about the problems people proclaim to want to solve.

What problem of unorganized workers? Healthcare? Retraining? Okay lets campaign for healthcare and lower college fees. Lets pick up the debt jubilee ticket some economists are calling for. Lets make government pay for code bootcamps and have corporations underwrite months of health insurance out of work.

No none of that will work because it does not give totalitarian control of workers to unions. Nor will it allay feelings of jealousy.
