Ad driven journalism is not great for readers. Lots of clickbait, very little substance, baseless conclusions, hand wavy numbers, etc. But it made the frontpage of HN so I guess their SEO is spot on.

As others are pointing out, people sign in to Facebook apps. As soon as they do, that apple & google device ID are kind of redundant. The only place where these ids are useful is when users use other application to access content and the analytics for that somehow end up in Facebook's data lake. That is indeed something they've been doing as well but also something that has been getting harder due to increasing restrictions both technically and legally (e.g. GDPR).

Facebook might huff and puff a little but they'll be fine. What this will accomplish however is decimating the competition that lack their own walled gardens from which to gather tracking data and are very dependent on Google and Facebook telling them who is who. Which is also why Google is doing this.

And of course the latter two have had a strategy of strengthening the walls around their walled gardens. This will likely push more content providers inside these walls. I'm hoping the EU and the US might be able to force tearing these walls down a little. Google trying to monopolize news has been something they've been fighting for a while. And of course both Facebook and Google are creating a bit of a privileged/exclusive situation for themselves here.

Of course it will be years before most of their users get to play with Android 12. So, it's going to be slow process of this gradually getting harder for companies to work with rather than an overnight cut off. Unless of course they roll this out to older versions as well.

Right, this (Tokyo - Seattle) seems like a minimum viable Pacific crossing.

San Francisco to Tokyo is 5,133 miles, so it is out of range.

How about San Francisco to Hawaii, Hawaii to Tokyo, and Tokyo to Singapore. ;)
Street harassment or violence against visibly Jewish individuals has nothing to do with “criticism of Israel” though, and it did spike and has been increasing based on news articles and counts of reported incidents. https://www.jta.org/2021/05/21/united-states/antisemitism-in...
It would not be entirely far-fetched to compare the status of Arab Israelis with the status of Coloureds in South Africa during late apartheid: Coloureds had some rights (including enfranchisement well before Blacks did), more than Blacks did, but were still pretty systematically discriminated against compared to Whites.

In Israel right now, Arab Israelis have fewer rights than Jewish Israelis do--notably in land rights, where pre-1967 land ownership claims are only legally recognized if you're Jewish, not Arab. That a coalition government has just now been formed with an Arab Israeli party for the first time in Israel's history, largely because it's the only way a coalition could be formed that doesn't include Netanyahu, doesn't invalidate the fact that legal discrimination still exists in Israel, let alone Israel's blatantly illegal actions vis-à-vis Palestine.

Do you have proof of this?
I downvoted because the comment feigns victimhood and differential treatment where there is none. Stanford didn’t say “chill out it’s just satire” in this case. It wasn’t until a non-profit advocacy group and the media got involved that Stanford Law suddenly “decided” it was just satire and dropped the proceedings against the student. I have no reason to expect things would have played out any differently for the hypothetical flyer either.

> The US doesn't have a law that says "you can immigrate and be a citizen but only if you are white"

Israel doesn't have that law either, there are black Jews and Indian Jews and white Jews as you probably know. Israel is an anomaly because of 2000 years of persecution that culminated in the holocaust. Maybe when there is no more any antisemitism (yeah, right) Israel will happily dismantle itself. Until that day it seems to me quite clear why Jews need a nation state.

So, at the end of the day, people are willing to look past privacy issues when it comes to walk the walk. It's easy to sit back and criticize something when you don't have anything to lose. You only really know if you actually care about an issue when you're willing to sacrifice for it. And clearly according to you, pay, interesting problems to work on >> privacy. So again, a few people like to think it matters more than it actually does to a lot of people.
I agree with you on the incomprehensibility of mathematics Wikipedia pages, even as a working mathematician I can really only read the pages about content I already know in-depth. But Wikipedia (and many other reference-type sources) are not the place I would go to learn a new topic in maths, I would always prefer to read a short book aimed at the correct level of knowledge, or a set of course notes (many of which are available online). I don’t think Wikipedia is representative of the teaching of maths at all.

Many of the courses on very abstract content I’ve taken (from other people, in person) has been very concretely introduced, or at least the course has been run with a 50/50 split on the abstract (general theory) and the concrete (solving problems).

I think the analogy still holds here. Medicine is highly regulated because people sometimes die as a result of medical intervention, and as a result of that regulation (hopefully, but debatably) less people die, but that doesn't prove that medicine is designed to kill people.

The idea is that discovery of the true rightsholder is a natural byproduct of the copyright assignment process.

What claims do you think I have made? All I have said above is that taxation (a) is complicated and (b) has hidden externalities, both of which are obviously correct and appropriate responses to the things being asked.
Abolish those as well, as the nationalism is also a crock of zealot-religious bs. In America, we have lost religion and instead many now feel the need to jump into identity politics. This mentality is disgusting and very small minded tribalism. It's inherent in human nature and we still share so much of that earlier hominid brain.
Its hard to look at those examples, along with Biles, and not think that the precedent has racial undertones. Would the reaction be the same if these were white athletes, or would they become marketing powerhouses responded to with amazement at how they are operating at entirely new levels.
This is the Guardian telescoping and generalizing with it's usual rigor.

I didn't get the impression that they have an "insatiable appetite for war and killing".

Would you say the Jews I met have an "insatiable appetite for war and killing"?
Do you think purposely hiring X group is a bad practice? From what I understand, it's not enough to say "we'll hire X if they're better than Y". When you don't actually have any X at the moment, your company might not be very welcoming to X, and so they won't join. So you purposely go out of your way to hire extra X, to account for the lower acceptance rate.

The common response is "that's not fair to Y, you should be hiring only based on quality, not on X or Y". But the issue is if you only hire on quality, but the quality X candidates don't join, then you're actually losing out on quality. So instead, you lower quality requirements, with the goal that overall you're actually promoting quality in the end, by working towards an environment where quality _is_ the only determining factor, and removing the current factors that work against X candidates.

What about this do you disagree with?

Note: This kind of handwaves over what "X won't join is". There's a lot of nuance to this. It may be that X grows up thinking the job isn't for them, because they always see Y in those types of jobs, and never bothers to try that job. It may be that X tries to join, but the people hiring them all Y, and favor Y instead because it's familiar to them, and the rest of the company is Y. It may be that X joins, but they feel uncomfortable that everyone is Y, and quits. There's a lot of different factors that goes into what discrimination looks like, which is why affirmative action is a lot more than just company policies.

He was not canceled by progressives. Equating anti-Zionism and anti-semitism is generally an anti-progressive stance in the US. This is progressive principles being morphed into a weapon to be used against progressives.
I'm trying to understand what he did that was so wrong? He (correctly imo) called out Israel for its violent tendencies. The only mistake he made that I can see is he conflated Israel with the Jewish people generally. But Israel has a massive propaganda campaign leading people to do exactly that (an attack on Israel the country is an attack on Jewish people in general).

If that blogpost was the same, but said Israel, instead of the Jewish people; would there be any issue with it today?

I really don't know much about the Jewish faith or how it interplays with Israel, so I'm just trying to understand where all the anger is coming from. I feel like Israel is acting in bad faith on public forums too, which makes everything more complicated for somebody unfamiliar with it all.

EDIT: Reading more comments I think I get the gist of the controversy, he insinuated all Jewish people should feel guilt for the actions of Israel? I agree that's wrong, but I understand how somebody could come by that belief. Israel themselves have fostered the narrative that Israel represents the Jewish people by constantly conflating an attack on Israel as an attack on the Jewish people.

I claim that the first undergrad course in Analysis is not actually there primarily to teach you real analysis. Rather, it's there to teach you the difference between "forall exists" and "exists such that forall", and to hammer into you that intuition is not by itself a proof. Nonstandard analysis, I claim, is not as good a vehicle for those purposes as epsilon-delta analysis is.

"Security concerns" are not enough to judge the situation. Mobsters surround themselves of armed guards as much as the investigators trying to capture them. Nations that start wars need to protect themselves from counter-attacks and retaliation. Israel is in blatant violation of international law and handsomely profiting from it: 10% of its population lives on land that doesn't belong to the state and that by international agreements has to be returned to its legitimate owners.
True, the disparate Italian states were unified into the Kingdom of Italy in the 1860s, so it's older than Israel but younger than the US.

But people who are at Stanford Law School, which is where the Stanford Federalist Society exists, would have heard of it.

Whether you can identify it as satire is irrelevant because you are not the audience and you never would have seen it if not for the broader publicity.

You're clearly wrong on this, as Stanford Law School has agreed that it is protected speech in the form of satire, and they're obviously much more qualified than you to make that judgement on several levels.
I not only agree with your post but also want to heartily endorse the Shakespeare Tavern in Atlanta.

They go to great lengths to ensure everyone in the audience understands e.g. that Romeo and Juliet has loads of raunchy humor. I’m confident I could attend a play I have never read and understand the emotional and plot bones of it at Shakespeare Tavern.

And in my experience their food only helps me in my understanding of the play! All for a quite modest price.
DevOps Engineer / Lead Site Reliability Engineer Opportunity with Curi/Raleigh
I have seen different organizations define those 4 example roles in different ways to fit their internal company culture.

Think about it like this: Do you want to manage developers (people leader) or plan products (principle) or be a diplomat (architect)?

If you want to focus on leadership then read about leadership. If you want to be a principle then learn about the philosophy of technology design and planning. If you want to be an architect then practice writing and learn to translate between precise technical requirements, user fulfillment, and owner business goals.
Looking for an individual that has demonstrated experience using DevOps tools such as GitHub and GitHub Workflows and is comfortable in one or more programming languages as well as strong scripting and automation skills.
it's naive because it's a common claim that pretty much never plays out that way after a year or two. as to why, i'd say the reasons are poor, but it's because of ego, desire for power and influence, greed

It's a similar premise in the fact that each of these systems, whether it be religion, political ideology, or a cult personality all require mindless and low IQ followers to work.
You are terribly correct. It reminds me of the left claiming Islam is a peaceful religion because only a ~third (whatever the numbers they allege) support violence and a much smaller fraction perpetrate it. Unfortunately, your claim is unquantifiable, so, as evidenced by your replies, the people who hate Israel vehemently deny any anti-semitism.

Because we "won". There are almost no indigenous people left in the United States, because we killed nearly all of them and destroyed their culture and civilization. I hope that this does not happen to Palestinians. For those indigenous people that remain, I definitely support greatly expanded rights and territory.

Can you explain this? I don’t see the connection. I can see how the zero-frequency value would be equal to the integral (well, the average).

Yes, they used to be. That's usually how nations are born - around common ethnicity.

And that's the point, everyone else got criticized for it except for Israel, which has a bipartisan support (at least in America). And any critique of Israel being a Jewish state is somehow portrayed as a double standard against Jews. At the same time you can freely attack white, non-Jewish people on the basis of what European and American governments did without any fear of repercussions. Not saying that there should be repercussions, because I support free speech, just pointing this out.

The first part of your comment refers to Jews as ethnicity and the second as religion.

The main thing I find odd about that person's blog post (https://web.archive.org/web/20210601160519/https://www.kamau...) is that it also doesn't really make any sense mechanically.

The first five paragraphs are all comments on how it must be difficult for a progressive Jew to simultaneously support progressive values and Israel

> If I were a Jew today, my sensibilities would be tormented. I would find it increasingly difficult to reconcile the long cycles of oppression that Jewish people have endured and the insatiable appetite for vengeful violence that Israel, my homeland, has now acquired.

It's only in the last paragraph that the author goes to a different place and starts blaming Jews directly.

> If I were a Jew I would be concerned about my insatiable appetite for war and killing in defense of myself.

I wonder what the author was thinking when he was writing it as it doesn't make much sense to me.
