Yeah, the problem of credit cards it's all the confusing terms around payment dates, revolving balance, minimum payments. While this might sound trivial in countries with higher financial literacy. So with credit cards it is easy to just say, I'll leave some balance and pay it later. But that will start generating interest over interest, and really quick it can become a snowball trap where then your income only lets you pay the interest proportion of the debt and be looped in the vicious cycle. And on top of that, if you get a credit card, you have to deal with the risk of card fraud which might complicate things.

Our loans are time-defined, full amortizable, which means that every payment you do your debt will lower and are tied to specific purchases. So instead of easily finance anything you can't afford, people use us for specific things they need. It's just simpler, easier and will become even more affordable as we improve our terms

"ME isn't required at all..."

The document you linked refers to a more technical one that explains they don't disable the ME until after the main OS is booted, because...

"The disappointing fact is that on modern computers, it is impossible to completely disable ME. This is primarily due to the fact that this technology is responsible for initialization, power management, and launch of the main processor."

I'd say the other way around: the "pro" people should go find another board to use, of which there are many.
TBH I'm glad companies stay away from my data if they don't know how to get consent, store data securely, or even what those things mean.

“Storing data securely” and “getting consent” are both wildly different from full compliance with the onerous requirements of GDPR. You can do both of these things in absolute good faith and still be in violation. Unless you have a team of legal scholars working for you, odds are that you are in violation of at least one provision of this massive, unwieldy legislation - no matter how respective of user privacy you are.

That is why the UK is abandoning it. GDPR, as written, is a business-killing mess.
> Please stop with this racist skewing of statistics. There are thousands of factors involved.

But that's the whole point. If black people are disproportionately shot by police because police are racist, that's a problem with police. If it's because "thousands of factors" cause black people to have disproportionately more encounters with police, but the police themselves are acting with neutrality, then it's a problem somewhere else and you can't fix it through police reform.

The answer is fundamental if you actually want to solve the problem. But not evaluating it is convenient if you just want to keep using it as a political bludgeon forever, because by not even looking in the right places for a solution, the problem is never solved and you can run for office on it over and over.
Great idea. I see the same problem in Dominican Republic where interest rates are crazy high and people don’t have credit card.

Youtube has a lot of great content on almost anything but the stuff discussed here is as varied as there are languages and frameworks.

I not NOT get why the demo'd and encouraged way of sending is considered secure. The email is not encrypted. It contains a link in plain text. It's not stipulated that secure email servers (TLS) are used, and if non-secure, the plain text of the link could potentially be sniffed out by anyone with access to one of the nodes along the chain of transmission of the email data. Further, if the email server on either end is gotten to, the URL is sitting there in plain text, so the attacker has it.

Now, once you have the URL, you have direct access to the secret info, without any challenge.

Modulo this method making it possible to shorten the time the info is available, and to take the info away after the info has been accessed, what is secure about this?

Couldn't you have the same effect essentially by sending the secret through email and then mutually agreeing on both sides to delete the email message immediately after sending (by the sender) and receiving (by the receiver)?
I was amazed that I also couldn't find any prominent mention about this when it passed, but that only cemented my view that our media are not free. They will not publish something that could outrage public against an agenda that has got a green light and has to go through no matter what. Even so called outlets that praise themselves as being "anti-tories" have not published anything. There is plenty of stories like that and it is extremely worrying. I think there is corruption going on at a scale not seen before and there is media embargo. One striking story I remember when it was discovered that husband of drugs minister (that minister had anti-cannabis stance) was running medical cannabis crops making the UK biggest exporter of cannabis in the world. When this was discovered only RT wrote about that and weeks later they where threatened their license will be pulled (on a "unrelated" matter, to not bring attention). Only few months later, when everyone was talking about it online, BBC dared to publish the story and drugs minister promised to withdraw herself from anything cannabis related and she kept the office. Can you imagine that in a civilised country?!
It also has much lower reach. Ideas are viral - and don't spread very well when they have less exposure.

You don't see too much pro-Al-Qaeda or ISIS material on Facebook or Twitter. Somehow, we've managed to censor that extremism away.

I think it's a really American centered piece.

Obviously the face of the Republican party drifted so far to the right that they are now a populist party. And it's only reasonable from academics to distentiate from populism as they are in the business of searching for truth.

The fallacy here is to believe that the Democratic party is on the left. It's now composed of the economically concervatives, the center and the left (the us doesn't have a far left ideology even tough some ideas seems to be trending).

The reasonable options for a concervative scholar would be to join the Democratic party and try to break it in three from the inside.

Pretty sure there are lots of valid definitions of "cross-platform", and I will say again that context matters.

If I'm talking about a mobile app and I say "cross-platform" I probably meant iOS and Android. It would be strange to say "what about Linux??" in that context.

So here we are talking about competitors to Adobe products, where "cross-platform" means Windows and Mac, so when I say "cross-platform" in this context, I am also referring to that same set of platforms.
The two don't necessarily have to be mutually exclusive. Support subscriptions might still make more sense for enterprises. But an a la carte system allows individuals and small companies to influence prioritization and "vote with their wallets" without having to be able to afford a pricy enterprise support contract.

Support subscriptions could even include an annual/monthly/whatever number of credits to vote for issues, possibly at a discount compared to a la carte.
> Why don't struggling dairy farmers convert to beef production? Seems to me it would be much less labor intensive and more profitable.

Love these comments.

Clearly someone who has never been on a dairy farm vs. a cattle ranch. =P

So for dairy, you normally have smaller pastures (less land) and keep your cows fed hay and expensive foods to help keep them producing high quality milk.

For beef production, you'd normally have large pastures for cattle to graze on grass. More land, more naturally occurring (cheaper), but lower caloric-dense food.

Big call out... there are different kinds of cows for milk and beef. Holstein's make milk, Angus make hamburgers. There's a huge list of types of cattle... each have their own pros and cons for beef vs. dairy production. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cattle_breeds

To support the "more land" approach, you have horses to move the cattle around between pastures. You also need equipment to put up hay for the winter (buying hay is expensive).

You can go the feedlot route, but that's more the "finishing school" for beef production. Not a lot of margins at small scale. Dangerous to keep too many cows together too, from a disease perspective.

As a rancher, since you've got a tractor anyway for hay production, and ample land, you may want to plant a few fields of corn, wheat, millet... anything to sort of help cover costs of all the expensive equipment and cost of land. And you're not bound to a rigid daily care schedule for the cattle.

Ranchers have spurts of work... more cows, living outdoors, so harder calving seasons... more work for branding and such, more time fixing fence for bigger pastures. Put ranchers and dairy farmers in a room... they're different people. They may look similar, but they're just wired differently.

You invest a small fortune in the milking facilities, if you run a dairy operation. You invest in land if you're a ranch. They're not like "oh, let's just flip a switch and it's converted."

Anyway I'd write more but just because you have cows, doesn't mean it's at all interchangeable.
I've spent a lot of time on the internet over the years and the thing i've noticed about 'extremists' of all kinds, not just idealogical ones, i'm talking like any kind of 'extremist'.

That handful of people you find on a forum more devoted to whatever the topic or niche is than everybody else. The people that are there, every day all day immersing themselves in it.

They're fairly far and few between and wherever you are, you'll find a handful of them.

The rest of the more vocal people tend to be the 'hanger ons'. The ones that are into it as long as a bunch of others are, but will lose interest if the community fades.

Then there's the flyby people. The people who just kinda pop in from time to time, but aren't really all that into it.

People seem to forget, we call it 'extremism' because it's at the extreme end of what humans consider acceptable. Most people in general are not 'extremists' with anything otherwise we wouldn't call it extreme. It would just be normal.

Everyone seems to just label someone as an extremist for a tweet, or an idea, or some words, where in reality a good majority of people being labeled as such are more than likely just normal people saying some dumb shit.

Everybody's done it, nobody's perfect anywhere, everybody believes ridiculous things from time to time, everybody's said things they shouldn't, it's just a part of being human. It doesn't mean they're this, that or the other kind of extremist.
This is a shortsighted take IMO. "Fringe" websites are growing rapidly while engagement on the big, normal websites is declining or slowing down. The problem is people want to talk about these things, and if that's what people want to talk about they're going to go where they can talk about them. This is directly addressed in the article (when we say we want to ban hate speech, what we really want to ban is hate, but hate cannot be banned). These big legitimate sites only feel permanently dominating now, but are not permanent by any means. People don't go on the internet and talk because talking is a way to use Facebook, people go on Facebook to talk about what they want to talk about. If people want to talk about edgy or even hateful stuff, they will, and if they can't do that on Facebook they'll do it elsewhere.

That's not to even get into the fact that all to often these terms like "fringe websites" are used by entities to shame users into not using their competition, which further degrades the integrity of any anti hate message.

No, he was explaining it out of context. Not every comment HAS to take context into account.
The case for any advertising by big companies has always been week. You already know eBay and AirBnB. They're already so popular that they're going to be the organic first search result. They would be buying ads mainly to prevent other companies from competing with them.

Also, these are companies that basically everybody needs. Everybody buys stuff and stays in hotels, and these two are the main competitors for the Internetty versions of those things. Even if you don't use them, you'll have heard of them.

The use of targeted advertising is when you're trying to target. You're a Yemeni restaurant who doesn't expect clientele to travel more than 5 miles, and people who have at least a stab at adventurous eating. You're a dentist who really nailed their new dental office manager software and don't expect to sell it to 12-year-olds, or auto mechanics. You're a theater troupe competing for the entertainment dollars with movies, video games, etc. and want to see if you can put your show in front of people who like going to theaters -- or who might be curious about it.

The latter is my case. We throw $20 at ads, and we get maybe 3 or 4 people who come that wouldn't have otherwise. That about breaks even, maybe, but even better one may subscribe to our notices by email or Facebook.

It just seems dumb to go looking at the people who target everybody and then declare that target ads don't work for actual targeting. That may or may not work; it's aggravatingly hard to measure. But you could at least go looking at the cases that might be useful.
