Is there some context missing from the article? How does the quoted policy mandate the school monitor social media? If they wanted to, couldn't they have monitored social media before this policy was added?

I'm not understanding why the author thinks this monitoring is happening, and why he thinks the policy mandates it.

Edit: I've read the article like 5 times now, what am I missing that everyone else here is seeing?
Funny story: I went to An Event Apart in NYC years ago (I think they’ve only had 1 in NYC) and I’m enamored by the people around me and Eric Meyer grabs the seat next to me while Zeldman is on stage and he’s quietly kind of heckling him (like a friend would not in a bad or mean way…and he couldn’t hear it). I’m sitting there, next to a person I very much admired, like Troy meeting LeVar Burton in Community trying to no freak out. It’s hard not to understate the impact Meyer, Zeldman, and A List Apart had on general front end development.

The problem with separating out tools is that the resulting tools tend not to work very well with each other and suffer as a result. I'll use gdb as an example: using it standalone means I can use whatever text editor I prefer to read the code, but now I'm forced to manually schlep between the debugger and the editor to do debugging: let me figure out what file I need to look at for this current function, and manually open it in the editor. Okay, now let me copy-paste this function name to break on. Oh, here's a value I want to inspect, let me go manually type this in. And constantly back and forth between the editor and the debugger.

Having the tools all work together in one environment is honestly a far superior experience than having each tool live in its own bubble and requiring you to do all the coordination work yourself, with all of the repetition and scope for mistypes in the process.

One helpful intuition for the surreals - the standard numbers are basically mapped to a ruler where the 'gap' between any two consecutive numbers (eg, 4 and 5) is intuitively equivalent to any other (eg, the gap between 0 and 1).

The concept of distance is abandoned in the construction of the surreals so it no longer makes sense to talk about the gap between 1 and 2 being the same as the gap between 2 and 3.

It is a very pure conception of numbers and it is quite pretty that it contains everything (integers, reals, infinitesimals, infinities, concept of infinity + 1, etc.

It doesn't matter who reported it if it's true.

You can literally still read the blog post on his blog.

The real question should be why other media would see a verifiably true story and refuse to cover it. It wouldn't be news if it were about the guy serving burgers down the street, but it is certainly newsworthy when it's the anti-racist head of one of the largest companies on the planet being explicitly racist.
You could pretend the reality some people live is not true.

If a $80k watch or turntable makes you happy, then that’s great for you. The reason the science matters here is because most people don’t necessarily have a ton of money to waste, and aren’t necessarily trying to recreate a historical reproduction of some old records (along with all their flaws); most people just want to listen to their favorite music and have it sound the best it can for a reasonable price. This is where the science has the definitive answers, with the potential exception of really old recordings with various quirks due to the lack of well-established audio recording and reproduction science at the time. But digitizing such old works involves some creative art in trying to recreate the authentic old sound when played on modern speakers, and this can be done well (and is done well, in some but not all cases).

But for example, there is no magical difference between a good studio monitor and good audiophile speakers. The differences are well understood and easily measurable. Studio monitors are often more neutral and flat, but also may tend to have a narrower beam, while audiophile speakers often have wider beams and perhaps some coloration like bass boost and treble boost or reduction.

What’s great about the science is it removes all this subjective guesswork. For example, my Genelec 8351B’s out of the box sound too bright for my tastes. But thankfully their built-in DSP allows me not only to calibrate them to perfection to my room, but tune the overall sonic signature to my preference (a gentle downward slope, for a warmer sound). The beauty of good speakers is you can do this in software, rather than buying a different pair of speakers.

About the only thing you can’t tune in software with good speakers is the beam width (assuming there are no flaws like directivity mismatches, distortion, etc. which can never be fixed in DSP). And that’s why e.g. my Genelec still sound different from my Revel speakers: the Genelec are medium width beam, while the Revel are very wide.

Depending on the music genre, this matters. I prefer the wider beam sound on older music and more traditional “audiophile” style music, so for that I tend to prefer the Revels. But for newer music, I and almost everyone else prefers the Genelec’s presentation. It’s important that this is not some subjectivist mystery: it completely makes sense, and through this understanding we are empowered to engineer or select the best speaker for the job without making it unattainably expensive or impossibly convoluted via subjective claims.
>> You gotta remember that automation also reduces the cost of these kinds of devices, allowing more people to acquire these devices and automate their tasks, pushing the entire population up the productivity value ladder.

Putting people out of work is not pushing anyone up a ladder. As one person gets more productive with automation their peers lose jobs.

From an economic perspective, if a factory owner replaces people with automation it's because it costs less. Hiring an automation expert and all the associated costs is a net win for them. But those jobs are higher paying, so we know it takes fewer people at the higher rate to achieve the owners lower cost.

>> Smartphones enable numerous tasks that people once had to hire another person to do for them, to be done automatically.

So first the automation put people out of work making smart phones. You try to counter that negative effect by pointing out how the phones help people but... Now the smart phones are making people more efficient, which as you say will eliminate more jobs.

Automation always eliminates jobs. The only time it frees up people to do other things is when those things are lower market value than what they were already doing - almost by definition.

I'm not against automation BTW, just against the common fiction that it's economically good for the working class.

It's not just about you. It's about everybody in your social network. You need to protect all of them and the best way to do that is with anonymity.

There are plenty, on both sides of the aisle, often being paid tens of millions of dollars a year to do so. They're often quite effective at it, too.
Handling loading states also seems to be a little bit on the anemic side, but I didn't investigate too deeply.
While I'm not a fan of the idea, I suppose this is a predictable outcome in a world of social media shitstorms.

Post anonymously or be prepared to have any statement you have ever written on the internet be interpreted in the least generous way possible as a weapon against you by an irrational mob. That's how the internet works in the 21st century.

That's explicitly against the TOS for most social media platforms, and some (like Facebook) are really cracking down on pseudonym accounts over the last few years.
If by "data-point" you mean a single sample from an unknown distribution, then no we can't really say anything based on that, definitely nothing interesting.

And by that definition the Bolt record is not a data-point, it's a global property of the distribution, namely the minimum value.

In his main argument though (and your example here), we just have a single value, and no information at all about the distribution, we don't even know if n>1. In such cases we can hardly say anything at all.

So in order to be able to infer something from the single datapoint, we need to make assumptions about the distribution of the values. The problem is that all the interesting conclusions we can draw come from those assumptions, not from the single value itself.

To tie it back to Usain Bolt. If you only know his time on 100m, that means nothing. We can of course posit that he's the fastest in the world, and from that we can draw conclusions such as "everyone else is slower", or (somewhat less trivially) that "the average time is above 9.58 s".

But we could equally well posit that he is the slowest in the world or that everyone is equally fast, which would lead to completely different conclusions.

So we clearly see that all the interesting information comes from the distribution, which sort of makes his arguments pointless.

> In America, everyone has the same chance already, at least to a close approximation.

Really? When your mother has to hold down two jobs to pay the rent and put food on the table? Or when your mother doesn't need to work because she inherited millions from her parents? Which mother will have a child who goes on to a good university?

The income share of the poorest ten percent of the population is 1.8% in the US, in Norway it is almost 3.5%. In Norway university education is also free. In which one do you think a child from a low income household would have the best chance of having a better income than their parents?

It turned out to be a simple I2C memory, and the author wrote 999999 to it, IIRC.
That case the justices seem to be trying to figure out where the line is where a school might have legitimate concern about speech off campus, and what kind of speech is ok to take action on.

It seemed to be less about monitoring in general and about where to draw the line.

They did not seem interested in wholesale blocking any monitoring or requiring the school ignore public internet posts.

SCOTUS seemed to be more interested where to draw the line on what actions schools could take on what types of speech, not so much about monitoring overall.

I love it when a business has an instantly appealing branding, here using the burner phone metaphor that makes lots of sense. Personally I would like the visual branding to play off burner phones more (and still be corporate enough), to give it a more distinct personality in a super crowded market.

Anyways, good luck, I'm sure this will be a successful.

Young people don’t use Facebook and every other social media platform does not require your real name. If you post something stupid under your real name then you have no one to blame but yourself.
First of, I don't think criminalisation helps, but rather complicates the problem further.

And kids doing crazy stuff is one thing ... but another one is to have a culture around it, that endorses it. Because like I said, I know too many who got a regular drinking habit, out of those stupid blackout drinking sessions back then. I very much do believe that germany has a drinking problem, too, to where the roots are the youth. With 14, a buddy of mine won a full bottle of wine at a winefestival, they just handed over to us. Which was the first time I puked from it. Amazing.
Technical illegal to give to minors even back then, but common practice in some areas. Because they all celebrate the drinking.

"social media" - do they include the fediverse? retroshare? secure scuttlebutt? Otherwise it's "we'll monitor you on fb & co and twitter", because even reddit allows pseudonyms.

So it boils down to this: stop using facebook, instagram, and twitter, and find a nerd friend to run a mastodon/pixelfed/etc circle for you & your circles.

This kind of thing is what helped me see that universities really have become institutions for social policing, rather than teaching objectivity and rational thought. It's tragic that people are so comfortable trampling over things like free speech under the facade of safety, and even more tragic that people fall for the deceit.
Plenty of stuff is still pretty unintuitive in CSS (why do I set `min-width: 0` to stop a flex/grid item overflowing? That doesn't make a lick of sense) but it's in a pretty good place these days.

Flex and grid make the majority of responsive layouts a breeze and the some of the new filter stuff is super powerful, just a shame it took 20+ years to get it. Now let me transition to and from `height/width: auto` damn it.

This seems like it's merely codifying a practice that already existed de facto. I doubt Harvard had a specific social media monitoring policy in place when it rescinded admissions from the admits posting offensive memes, but that didn't really mean anything to the kids who got un-admitted.(1)

> please ship the solutions to us, not the movements and the fight

I'm glad this isn't completely tongue in cheek, because I consider this a huge compliment.

I'm extremely critical of the USA, where I do live. The name of the game for the last ~100 years has been to allow wild cultural experimentation so long as cash is always king and big business gets bigger. Both aspects have had worldwide repercussions and especially given US foreign policy everyone is allowed a seat at the table to love+hate the US.

The US is a social experiment and it's had some incredible fruit. It just feels so precarious with such incredible social and economic divisions.
Can you help me find in the linked PDF an reference to "monitoring" or "surveillance"? I can't find any reference to anything of the kind. The word "monitor" doesn't appear in the document, and the word "surveil" only appears once, in the definition of "Stalking".

The portion you quoted appears to be a portion of the document that was deleted and rewritten. "pursuit of its mission" is, for example, deleted from the document and replaced with the phrase "in which the University can demonstrate a clear and distinct interest as an academic institution".
It also makes you targetable. If someone or a group of someones decided you needed to be punished they could harass you in the real world, such as by attacking your family or ability to do your job.

My social media identity is completely separate from my "real" online identity like my gaming name I only share with internet friends, and that in turn is completely separate from my meatspace identity.
I believe the line the OP was drawing was between regulating how one uses chemicals personally in a manner that does not affect others (directly or indirectly), vs. how one uses chemicals generally which may affect others.

Note that you can certainly ingest chemicals for completely personal and recreational use and still adversely impact others (e.g. drinking and driving, dosing for athletic performance, neglecting childcare to get high, I had a neighbor get high once and he painted hieroglyphs on the utility box on the street which I didn't particularly care to look at nor feel like spending my time to paint over it - I could care less if he got high and trashed the inside his house asside from property value loss when he sold his home).

The examples you site (e.g. burning of gasoline and releasing byproucts into the environment, using dangerous chemicals in consumer products) are all applications that will adversely impact others and should be regulated.

Personally, while there are exceptions, I assume people are inherently good and capable of making their own decisions. So, I agree with the OP - if you're not causing any harm to others, I say do what you want.

Rate: [15,555, ∞) weekly, effective. Discretionarily flat.

Resume: Unavailable upon request.

Why me: Why not? Most importantly...

Frankly, I dislike work. I came to this realization a few years ago. Back then, I had a very good job with a top-shelf company, yet I was spending an inordinate amount of time wondering if "this" was "as good as it gets". Rolling out of bed in the morning is hard if you don't have a reason. Nothing to live for. This continued for a period of time. Finally, one fine day, I knew that I had had enough; I called in, announced my resignation, returned the laptop, packed my bags, got in my car, and went on a very, very long drive.

Today, I work to live, not live to work. My philosophy is simple: live well while working as little as possible. So I trade high-impact expertise for cash, and spend the cash on fast cars and fast sports, and they all lived happily ever after.

Let me tell you a little about something else. I'm a perfectionist. Unfortunate but true. It's physically impossible for me to produce something inferior. Equally, once I start something, I don't stop until it's done. So I don't start very many things, and I make sure that what I do start will be worthwhile. In other words, it should be in good taste, and it should be throwing geysers of money in my direction.

Are you made for me?

* You are at or near the helm of a small- to mid-sized tech or tech-adjacent company.

* You need (my) outside expertise more than you need (your) money.

* You know what you want but not what you need.

* You want it sooner than later.

* You value quality and efficacy above all.

* Your company isn't doing anything creepy or weird.

* You have a certain fighting spirit.

* You live like every minute is precious, because it is.
