I’ll be the first outside of Twitter to defend Twitter’s free speech and private property interests, but that doesn’t mean free speech isn’t under attack by governments and the politically ambitious.

Twitter wants to kick you off because Twitter wants to kick you off? Fine.

But Twitter does kick you off because the Government, any government because screw authoritarianism wherever it lives, asked them to? Then there’s a problem.
So firstly, they'd have to take account of the lessons of history.

In my experience, the bitcoin subculture is really bad at doing the reading, and accepting any version of history that doesn't reinforce their assumptions that they're going to get rich for free.

There's a history of extremist libertarian ideology in bitcoin, and that's still how the subculture talks about their common beliefs. But the subculture's behaviour is more accurately predicted if you assume their only interest is "number go up."

So printing billions of "dollars" of questionably-backed digital wildcat banknotes is good news for bitcoin, if it keeps number going up.

The noisy online cultist sort of bitcoiners will swear everything is fine with Tether, but the traders know damn well it's going to explode some time.

The only bright side is that crypto is not systemic to the real economy, even the paper economy. So if Tether and/or a major exchange blew up - Binance is looking like a hot prospect, with the amount of regulatory heat it's been getting in just the past few weeks, and with multiple reports of people unable to get their money or even their cryptos out - and bitcoin crashes, then the rest of the financial world will barely be affected.
Of course there isn't any evidence that he is (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Tahir_Hamut_Izgil is empty), but aside from the terrorist campaign being conducted by the government against opposition, there is also an active terrorist campaign in Xinjiang being conducted by Uighur dissidents against the Chinese government: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiang_conflict#Terrorist_gr...
Passwords wouldn't be the most sensitive data Facebook holds for most people - private photos sent via Messenger are probably way more sensitive.
You may "refer" to a different relation and have referential integrity between relations. Maybe "joinable" is also acceptable. You might also explicitly mention "foreign key" constraints.

Purely mathematically I believe. In relational algebra there is no term, as from a mathematical point you can join any relations. Whether that makes sense is a different question.
So this is just FB. Imagine what other services engineers and employees can abuse to lookup personal information of people they know.
A lot of the commenters here are rightly not surprised about this. A few years down the line this is going to be a similar thing with voice activated devices like Alexa. Employees, contractors, advertisers will all have access to the voice data of not just the person using these devices but of those who just happen to be in the vicinity. And no one will be surprised about it.
That’s pretty disturbing.
Real journalism barely exists anymore. All independent journalists who aren't parroting the anti-freedom, pro-communist talking points are facing very real persecution -- if they haven't been silenced completely.
Maybe we should not tell kids to follow their dreams for work, but work for money so they can follow their dreams?

Majoring in film making, writing, and most non-stem degrees is a quick way to be deep in debt working minimum wage jobs. Even business (my degree) is a waste of money for most kids.

I am telling my kids to major in computer science or architecture, then they can mess around with fun stuff in their free time.
I think they mean the parents behave in a toxic way.
This looks pretty cool, though unfortunately I'm not near my Mac so I can't really check it out. I'd be interested to know how its freehand pencil tool compares to JavE's (http://www.jave.de/). I always thought that was the coolest feature of JavE.

They were referring to the parents being toxic, not the child.
I know this is merely an anecdote, but this fits what I saw in my mother. I was learning to drive, visited the parents, we went on a practice drive… and she found speed sufficiently frightening that she asked me to limit myself to 40 MPH, while we were on a 70 MPH dual carriageway A-road. My driving lessons came with a booklet saying doing under 50 on such a road (in normal conditions) would be considered dangerous.
I think the fed, and the market, are basically under the belief that inflation isn't going to sustain at above 2% for long.

I mean, look at it from their side. They've been doing everything they can think of to hit 2% for a decade without success. Now, after the pandemic everyone is rushing back to work on a massive scale never seen before (plus some fiscal spending with additional unemployment benefits are still out there) and inflation is what, maybe 3% over two years if you are super generous with the numbers.

They are basically just in "wait and see" mode to know if this inflation trajectory has staying power.
It's one thing when it's removed for violating TOS or when masses report it. It's entirely another when a government in power uses their clout to demand that journalists and advocates are silenced. That is the very definition of attacking free speech.

The failure to see that is why you're being downvoted.

That’s the nature of extradition.

Edit: Why the downvotes?

“If requested by the charging state, US states and territories must extradite anyone charged with a felony, misdemeanor, or even petty offense in another US state or territory, even if the offense is not a crime in the custodial state.”

As far as I’m aware this holds true of international extradition too. That’s kinda the whole point—you can’t escape justice by picking a destination that doesn’t prosecute your crime.
I imagine you'd agree the U.S. has different monetary policy in the 1970s than it did today. I recall an expert say because the monetary policy has changed, discussing the 1970s isn't useful. I don't believe there's any question we have a different monetary policy today than we did in the 1970s.

The bond market is not predicting high inflation. I believe experts would say the 1970s are not relevant. So that's where we are.
Free speech is very much under attack.

If the platforms we use to communicate -- and which generally allow any communication, no matter how poignant or inane -- allow some speech, but not others, we have a problem.

Twitter is compelled to take down some messages. Facebook temporarily hellbans users for crossing over lines. I saw an article yesterday saying the US wants to filter SMS messages. E-mail seems safe at present, but that could change suddenly. Governments seem to be enacting hate-speech laws disallowing saying certain things, and that's double-plus good only if you agree with the power of the day.

How, pray tell, do we have speech of any consequence, if the methods we regularly use to speak are denied to us?

Oh, that's a great point, and probably true (if a bit funny). However, my guess is that a good screenshot (or mockup of a screenshot) would still help.
If your goal is to win a hackathon (or a game jam, or anything similar), your project is there only to support your presentation. It's how you sell your idea what gets you the price, not the project itself - it doesn't even have to work all that well as long as you present it right.

Of course details depend on the judging rules of the particular contest - you "market" your project differently when there's a panel of jurors and differently if it's the contesters that vote on each other's projects. In contests with panels of jurors you can often predict which project each jury member will likely vote on based solely on their professional background.

I've been to countless game jams and my first win (after a long while) was with a simple one-gimmick game that barely managed to not crash during the presentation. If you're there to have fun with technical stuff, you have small (but non-zero) chance of winning, because perfecting your presentation is rarely what people who go to hackathons for fun consider fun ;)

TBH, the best jams often have no voting and no prizes at all :)
social media playbook
1) create company based on free exchange of ideas
2) get lots of users, crush all competitors with network effects
3) oh no some ideas are icky! they do harm to my Black body or are transmysoginist or whatever. We must shut these ideas down!
5) restrict controversial opinions to just the left wing ones
6) make asinine point about private platforms
In the case of a username/email + password login, the password is sent to Facebook. Code on their end uses a one-way encryption to turn it into a unique value that's compared against a value they stored in the database when you set your password. As long as the one-way encryption is done with the same values, the two passwords match, and FB knows that you've typed the correct password without them having to store your plain-text password in their database

Some insecure websites (not Facebook) may not do this, and instead store your credentials in a database without encryption. It's a terrible idea, and GP's comment seemed to be referring to this when they (correctly) suggested that no one should have access to a database of plain-text passwords.

The replies mostly refer to the fact that even if the password never hits FB's database, there is still code running on authentication servers that handles that password in plain text before it's been encrypted. Limiting engineer access to authentication servers is a good idea, but it'd be challenging to prevent ALL engineers from having access.
As someone that was raised in a highly religious home, I have to wonder how much of estrangement has to do with the younger generation's abandonment of religion.

Go to nearly any church and you'll see the primary demographic is older individuals. In my younger days, it was quite a bit more even.

Millennials and Gen Z have dumped religion and with it a lot of the social norms. For example, homosexuality. Most Millennials and Gen Z have no problem with someone being gay. It's socially acceptable. Yet just a couple of decades ago one of the hardest hitting insults you could throw at someone was suggesting they weren't straight.

I wish more authors/researchers would explore this.
Unfortunately in minimal maintenance mode for the last 3 years. https://blog.helftone.com/monodraw-maintenance-mode/

People with different values and living situations can understand each other if they want to. It is factually true that after the age of majority, family relationships technically become optional. Burning bridges for petty reasons or annoyances would be a terrible idea: there's no one like family.

I've befriended a few sane, educated, elderly homeless people.

Turning your back on your parents if they haven't done anything "wrong" would be coldly, cruelly throwing them away like garbage. That's what happened in Korea and the suicide rates are awful. It's disgusting and embarrassing.

In my case, I haven't talked to my father in 25 years because he is very much a petty, unstable, irrational, unforgiving, un-empathetic, pathetic, unreasonable, hateful, venomous narcissist no one likes, my mother escaped, and he browbeat his late parents to take all of their money when my mother (their nearly adopted daughter/daugther-in-law) needed it more. If it weren't for the terrible way he treated people and the terrible things he's done (like molest my cousin), I would at least still want to know him.

I'm close to my mom.
but it is mentioned, more then once. And it does increase the risk of estrangement, which you would expect. Whatever. One way ore another, once we grow old we become more dependent, physically and psychologically. Finally, we die. This last step we make alone no matter what happened before

From the full paper[1]:

> All models were trained on 70% of the data and tested on the remaining 30% of the data. Note that each month record for each participant was considered an independent data point.

I'm almost certain that this is a mining leak.

Data from one patient will end up both in the training and test set and result in fantastic accuracy. Of course it will be from different months. The correct way to do this is to cross-validate/split across the population. It seems unlikely, from this description, that the authors have done so.

> I think in general it is a negative sum game.

That's really the crucial point. If someone gets rich from a startup that is generally because they have created lots of value (exception: rent seeking, which might constitute a significant chunk of finance, ad tech). Bitcoin, you have many people putting in a lot of money, and some of that makes a few people very rich, and some of it goes to pay for electricity to solve Sudokus.
The only reason I pay for youtube premium is for creators like Wendover, Extreme Engineering, Smarter Every Day, etc. There are a lot of independent science, economics, and history channels there that are too good for YT but depend on the traffic for survival. Some have made attempts to switch to other platforms like Nebula but they dont have the mass yet.
Extremely sensitive, by the lights of the organization I work for. The people to whom FB user data is visible are known to the user. Those people have been explicitly authorized by the user to view that data. FB is acting as the user's agent in conveying that data only to authorized recipients, who the user presumably trusts to some degree or another to not further propagate the data. The data is generally not publicly visible, and FB employees are generally not among the list of entities the user intends to convey the data to.

> Why would divorce increase the risk? In my clinical work I have seen how divorce can create a radical realignment of long-held bonds of loyalty, gratitude, and obligation in a family. It can tempt one parent to poison the child against the other. It can cause children to reexamine their lives prior to divorce and shift their perspective so they now support one parent and oppose the other. It can bring in new people—stepparents or stepsiblings—to compete with the child for emotional or material resources. Divorce—as well as the separation of parents who never married—can alter the gravitational trajectories of a family so that, over time, members spin further and further out of one another’s reach. And when they do, they might not feel compelled to return.

Appears it was mentioned specifically and in-depth.

Those are just representations of logic that have developed via evolution in the physical world.

The logic itself doesn't have a physical presence, it's just the inescapable conclusions drawable from any number of starting assumptions. There doesn't need to exist a universe with thinking things for logic to be logic.

Part of the explanation problem is that we tend to say "if you were to assume..." naturally in our language. But if course this causes a problem because logic is not part of nature and that phrase trends to assume some kind of thinking being doing the logical thinking.

My interpreting of the use of the word “toxic” is that there is an unbridgeable communication and understanding gap between generations when it comes to professional opportunities. In 2009, I had someone in the older generation tell me that success is simple, just have to get a temp job like they did in finance and rent an apartment.
They are a private company, etc.

I was on vacation in Egypt, this year, with a guy who worked at Facebook, along with a fairly large group of us from the States. He would stalk people's Facebook profiles in our group to find out information on them and even confront them about it, if they made him upset enough. He even messaged them directly on Facebook to tell them off.

As a side note, he was mostly only interested in having hook ups and orgies with Ukrainian tourist women, while in Egypt, made even more bizarre when we found out he has a wife back in the United States, of which, worked at Apple.

He was not a well liked guy and he was very rude to the Egyptian natives, especially towards the Bedouins.

Boris Johnson’s recent comments after England’s Euro 2020 loss highlight this challenge the best.

Government officials are pressuring social media corporations to define and continually refine their content policies.

Simultaneously governments are requesting content removal from the corporations.

It’s a back and forth where the users and general population are ignored. Our elected officials should be structuring new frameworks for social media companies to operate within. We’re entering a new era with outdated laws.
The big problem with a company as large as Facebook, is it's easy for the reality on the ground and the statements executives make to differ greatly: The company policy may be as stated, but there may be line employees and managers who have no issue with abuse of personal data, and even cover for each other.

The idea that people can just go in and access personal data at Facebook without some sort of actual pre-authorization is insane.
I agree that will have a bigger effect, and boo Brexit. But it's actually only transactions on EU shops by UK cards that face higher fees, which is a really small percentage of purchases. Definitely not every transaction.

> If Amazon has leaned too far in the direction of automation without oversight, then we'll see other firms fail to adopt these same practices.

By "leaned too far" I feel like you mean they relied on it in a way that made them less profitable than if they had not, in which case I agree. But I think most of us are worried that they leaned too far in a way that ruins peoples lives unfairly, we are more worried about that than Amazons bottom line. As a consumer I'm totally fine with paying 10% more for my coffee machine or whatever if ending such practices prevents even a single person from having their life upended.
Which lines are those? Specifics would help.
Bitcoin is voluntary not compulsory. For the vast majority of the world it provides access to a more trustworthy financial infrastructure because almost 6.8 billion people aren't born with access to USD, EUR, SGD, JPY etc.

BTC is a digital bearer instrument, meaning its value is wholly digital and is a decent option as property rights for those at the bottom of the pyramid.

If you've lived through hyperinflation, Bitcoin is a decent option to consider.
