Absolutely serious. I’m puzzled by your assertion that it’s easy. I guess you were lucky and it just worked. It didn’t for me - files started getting duplicated and corrupted in weird ways. The completely awful UI made it really confusing trying to figure out what was going on, and there was no support. It’s clearly a tool for power users and enthusiasts. I went back to Dropbox because I wanted something that just works.
You say it's nuance, I say it's a completely different situation and people either are ignorant or are purposely lying to push a narrative.

#1 If Facebook sold raw personal data to whoever came with a checkbook, I'd be pissed. Beyond pissed. The whole Cambridge Analytica thing was the closest they got, and it was really an issue with friends of mine giving away my personal information through FB. FB fixed this issue.

#2 If Facebook sells access to me via ads based on my personal data, then whatever. I don't really care. I gave FB my personal data. As long as they keep it to themselves them it's fine.

Using the term "selling your data" triggers #1 in the vast majority of the population, stirring people up.

I love these suggestions, but what is most important is that you make these choices (or others) and stick to them.

Consistency in how you log is probably Best Practice #0, IMO.
Probably not, simply because there is at least more truth to the social media criticisms. I reckon they'll atomize and a lot of the ill effects will be blunted enough to make it just a background hum danger of living in society.

Like car crashes and obesity. And diabetes. And mass shootings. Exploitation of labor. Centralization of wealth.

Climate change. Lack of clean drinking water.

Question: If someone wanted to do a discussion of race and Phrenology from a "scientific" perspective, is it canceling them to say, "Umm, no, those ideas a fully discredited and you're going to need to do a lot more work than a single paper and a pseudo Ted-talk to attempt to resurrect it."
My strongest recommendation for Revolt of the Public as a text examining the effects of democratized media on the modern political process. The Stripe edition is beautifully-printed too.
The division seems to me leading more to a breakup of the united states, into smaller countries. If one believes in democracy, and local democratic will. Why would that necessarily be bad. The country is filled with red states on the inside, and blue states on the outside. Doesn't seem like the people in the middle are getting the kind of government they vote for. And the people in the blue states have to temper down their liberal pro socialism policies that have served them so well in big cities, to help them stop crime and end homelessness that don't necessarily apply on the inside.

Take gun control. If you live in the middle of nowhere, the police are hours away from helping you. Owning a gun is your only realistic means of self defence.

It's not really an "angle", she worked with a whistleblower protection organization and she specifically gave these documents to the SEC, filing 8 complaints with the regulatory organization. All of that communication is protected.

I don't know what the legal implications for leaking to the press are, but that's where her exposure is.

There's a lack of shipping options available to get items to the US in the first place, that means that various bits and bobs necessary to manufacture a widget aren't available because they are stuck in a shipping container somewhere around the world and there is no available space to put it on a ship.

If you're using a tool like Splunk, verbosity of logging is usually not much of a problem.
Money buys a lot of talent; and in Stripe's case taste as well.
I don't think I agree. If they don't enforce a precedent of consequences for leaking confidential documents, it will be a complete breakdown of operational security (everyone will feel free to leak memos and documents).
>I still think the carriers should just reject calls with obviously fraudulent caller-ids.

An excellent idea. In fact, that's exactly what the technology discussed (STIR/SHAKEN) in TFA is designed to enable.
Are they operating pro bono?

If not, they may simply take the case because it will generate a lot of work for them, and it’s likely that such a public case could attract plenty of donations to fund the cause. Having argued a high profile case against Facebook is a huge reputation boost for a lawyer.
Yeah, this doesn't have anything to do with academic "self-promoting", it's just a fun little paper on Arxiv. (If the author really wanted self-promotion, they should have used Twitter instead of that boring red site...) Don't really understand why people have issues with this one.
Why no website? I'm not gonna install app just to use social network.
anything FB does against her will undermine the PR damage control campaigns underway. They may wait for all this to "blow over" and then try to go after her once their very expensive campaigns make some impact.

It's more likely that they will collude with other big tech firm and lobby for aggressive legislation against whistleblowers to prevent something like this from ever happening.

Edit -- there are reports suggesting the whistleblower is represented by the PR firm where the current US govt press secretary held a SVP role, so her case is unofficially aligned to the current administrations agenda: https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1445438141775683584
Precisely. Passing legislation regulating all social media companies is valid. Targeting a specific company in legislation, in addition to not making sense, will quickly be struck down by courts.
That's not an accurate study since the demographics were self-reported, and there was evidence that the education demographics were not in line with the expected distribution of the other demographics.

Anti-vaxer's were likely lying to the survey (conducted on Facebook), and selecting the highest education level.

There is something that doesn't sit right with me about the whistleblower. Yes, she is a data scientist which gives her many many extra points. But, she was a PM for 2 years in FAANG. Her actual scope of the what was going on in FB as a huge org, as she's trying to comment on (the "I want to fix FB" quotes from 60 minutes)

Everyone I know who works in FAANG, FB specifically, and PMs even more specifically, really have little idea of whats going on in the bigger picture. They kind of understand their little piece of the puzzle, but even then things can get ambiguous sometimes (and this is intentional, as I understand the inner workings at FB)

Bringing her in to the media and Congress as this star witness that understands exactly whats going on seems misleading. People from outside this world are taking her word like we are hearing from someone at the C-suite or an executive who has been with the company for 10+ years

That, and she seems to falsely claim she is an officially titled co-founder of Hinge on her Linkedin

This story is on the current frontpage with 3 seperate threads, two even linking to the same outlet (NPR). When you go into the threads criticism of this call for greater government regulation of speech is met with personal attacks and other fallacious arguments.

The whistleblower part is internal Facebook research showing that the algorithm is known to be harmful (for example, politically polarizing and hate-mongering) in it's current form. In addition to that internal research, she also revealed during the 60 minutes interview that Facebook used a "weaker" version of the algorithm during the 2020 election cycle in order to prevent disinformation. The weaker version was replaced with the high-engagement strategy after the election. Notably, the Jan 6 insurrection occurred when the high-engagement algorithm was being used.

Hmm, come to think about it, it does have a lot going for it as an illustrative algorithm!

- It’s really simple

- It’s a bit counterintuitive, so makes a cute puzzle

- It’s a good exercise for a first correctness proof

- And it’s obviously a pretty pessimal algorithm, so students shouldn’t be tempted to use it in real code (hopefully...) Compared to bubble sort, which seems somewhat plausible, so people end up actually using it for real even though it’s a terrible algorithm.
In this sense, it does mean more or less "classical liberal": a supporter of market economies, and, more generally, the political dominance of the bourgeois class (as, initially, opposed to the gentry, and as, later, opposed to the working class). It's used today by Internet leftists to include basically all of the mainstream political spectrum, but especially to denigrate "progressives" who claim to have leftist values, but in practice support the status quo.
It surprises me, though, that GCC is ahead (assuming the GP is correct). Anyone here know who's driving C++20 support in GCC?
That's hearsay from Michael Cohen, Trump's disgruntled, disgraced ex-lawyer. Trump has disputed the claim so we have no idea who's telling the truth. We should assume Trump innocent until Cohen proves it.

But we have Biden on tape and audio saying people aren't black if they don't vote for him.

One is a rumor, one is a fact. That's my point.
Indeed, this is part of the reason why I left my last job. I called it EDD (experiment-driven development). That's all they did for several months. I was cynical about it for many reasons:

- the premise of the experiments were often silly, basically just growth hacking to see if we can move the needle a little

- I was hardly convinced that they were "valid" experiments: was it a valid sample? are we recording data correctly? are we querying data correctly? All of which was done by engineers with minimal statistics background

- as OP said, the dissociation with users. Users were just an aggregate numbers (ie., sum of clicks). I wanted a more tangible feedback loop, like knowing more directly what the user is thinking and how they are using your product.

Yeah I had about 12-18 months of fatigue and stuff like chills (was blasting my heat the next winter) after a bad influenza in early 2018. Went to the Dr thinking I had low testosterone issues or something. Went away on its own, very similar to some of the minor post-viral syndrome people are reporting with covid. I think a lot of people who haven't caught proper influenza as an adult have a broken measuring stick when it comes to what respiratory viruses can do to you.

One definition of "anglo-" as a prefix is literally just a fancy (or shorter) way of saying "English-".

The Chinese, Russian, and Brazilian states see exploits mainly as weapons. As does the US state....

The question is whether a hacker culture apart from state control exists, of hackers interested in ideas for their own sake/the challenge/the lulz. Without being in those scenes or even speaking those languages, I couldn't say. (But maybe you have knowledge?)

As in above parts of these comments, threads where people wonder if the corresponding cultures in the USA have been entirely "neutered" by state and corporate involvement, the question is not irrelevant to the US or European or English-speaking worlds either.
Like torture auto-erotica. When you rage quit over asshole boss, stay quit.

Of course I say this having similar stories and finding this too familiar to stand. There were reasons, but afterwards they don't look like reasons anymore.
I get 10's of actual unsolicited spam emails per day that want me to click a link and run an exe, or buy Canadian drugs, or give bank account details so they can send me millions, etc.
Original title is "Unified way of describing dependencies of a project", but I thought that that might be too vague/lacking context. Hopefully the title I ended up with is unobjectionable.
“Price gouging” is precisely the behavior that makes it economical to keep around extra stock in case of supply shocks. Negative public reaction to, and laws against, “price gouging” is the reason almost no business chooses to absorb the cost of keeping around an extra reserve.
It's normal in signal processing to treat samples (whether audio or image) as points. A lot of things stop making sense if you replace them with line segments and rectangles.

> Everyone I know who works in FAANG, FB specifically, and PMs even more specifically, really have little idea of whats going on in the bigger picture

That's exactly the thing about the banality of evil, any individual person working on some small subsystem or component of something in a FAANG, to them it might not immediately be apparent that what they're doing is enabling the corrosion of democracy and discourse. And enabling the monetization of peoples' attention into endlessly scrolling social media feedback loops.

It's the end result of all the work of hundreds, or thousands of 'engineers' and 'product managers' in facebook working together on their own projects, combined together in aggregate, that turn it into a monster.

You can also see the same thing in hardware and software engineers that work on some small discrete component of some piece of equipment in the defense industry. They might not agree with the total product as it's used in the real world (precision US weapons sold to Saudi Arabia and deployed in Yemen, for instance). But all that one engineer sees is the small item or subsystem that is within their scope of work.
In the 60 minutes interview her lawyer cites part of Dodd-Frank that protects whistleblowers going to the SEC. Their position is that the documents are material to investors re:valuation and that Facebook was negligent by not providing it.

She's been with them since the Netscape days and worked at tech companies before that. There's no reason a CEO should write code.

She's a really shitty CEO, but not for any of the reasons your right-tinged complaints insinuate.
I meant to add the atomics work to this. (I didn't mention the rng since it was already in the article). The others are important, but a bit harder to quantify (and harder to find from scanning the commits).
This book review[0] by ACX/SSC might be more value for the time at this point, because first paragraph:

'The book is about how social-media-connected masses are revolting against elites, but the revolt has moved forward so quickly that a lot of what Gurri considers wild speculation is now obvious fact. I picked up the book on its "accurately predicted the present moment" cred, but it predicted the present moment so accurately that it's barely worth reading anymore. It might as well just say "open your eyes and look around".'

Debug level is not for production, it's for debugging.
The sender is different for almost every email though. Sometimes one sender will be used 3-4 times but that's about the max.
The whistleblower is taking a huge legal risk here. I wonder if the Wall Street Journal has really explained the consequences to the leaker.
She went through the FTC which adds a layer of potential whistleblower protection.
> What concrete information has been revealed that implicates Facebook in illegal behavior?

I'll leave it up to the legal system to decide what FB has done that's currently illegal. However, you don't just blow the whistle when you think laws are being broken. Sometimes you do it to start a discussion that can change the laws.

It's clear from the Facebook Files stories and documents that FB has known about the effects of their product on consumers (especially kids) and 1. lied to the public 2. lied to lawmakers 3. didn't change the product in ways that positively impacted kids.

That's obviously messed up and is not (afaik, ianal) covered under current US laws. I do strongly believe that it should. Platforms have responsibility, and S230 entirely takes the responsibility away from them.
there are forks of Mastodon as well (like Hometown or Glitch-soc). You might want to look at either the awesome-selfhosted github list or this watchlist for activitypub implementations:

>Not with 16 million colors. That's what 24 bit color mean (2^16) also called "truecolor" mode

>Try to use sixel to play videos in mintty, with 24 bit support so palettes aren't a problem.

You are confusing sixel with the iTerm image protocol which is different. Sixel is a really old and outdated, inefficient protocol that only supports uncompressed 6-bit paletted images. It would be best if we could just stop talking about sixel altogether, because this is not even what you're referring to anymore. I'm actually concerned that you're conflating these two, it would also best if you could be clear about this in terms of your project so it's not confusing as to what your project supports. Maybe the name should change from sixel-tmux at some point?

SSH compression is not going to be better than the image's native compression, you really don't want to rely on that to compress your images when we already have dozens of other better ways to transmit video.

>Not on mintty. I can change the font size up and down, it even resizes the sixels in proportion so the images remain aligned to the text in a pixel-perfect way.

I'd love to look into how that's accomplished but I can't use mintty because I use a Mac, sorry. I'm also not really interested in trying to mess with mingw just to get this set up.

This isn't FUD either, you're saying the terminals are bad, well, there is no terminal I can use that works correctly, I suggested to help out fixing the terminals if you know how and you basically said no. So what am I supposed to do? Part of making a good protocol is making one that is easy for the apps and terminal emulators to implement correctly, if that doesn't exist, then like I said you have to go back to square one. Adding this support to tmux is useful in some cases, but it still isn't going to help with getting the terminals to implement this right.

>In the future, sixel-tmux will intercept sixels live and rewrite them into other format, like iTerm or kitty.

This is a good idea, please do this instead of trying to get other terminals to adopt Sixel when they are just going to have to replace it down the line anyway.
Right. Also informative is the tale of Billy Cottrell, but that's getting way off topic.
> apparently they are regressions in performance with newer versions

There are? I mean, with every new LLVM release a few things gets faster and a few things slower but I am not aware of any big changes in the recent LLVM releases. Do you have any more information about that?
This is a bit beside the point, but I have trouble understanding why someone who is willing to put some work into configuring their computer still uses Windows. Just use Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Kubuntu and stay away from those ads.

Compatibility with MS Office might be a plausible explanation, but even then you can throw it in a VM until you find a way to get rid of it.
>Stalking is only illegal because that person "doesn't" have your permission.

Is this actually true? Are Private Investigators breaking the law and doing their job hoping they won't get caught and charged with a crime?
One can pick and choose statements like this and put tailored spin on it and make any statement a lie. example, Apple says this is the best iPhone ever. False , I like the one with headphone jack better. Are we going to put all statements by all companies to this level of rigor?
I think OP's case was not debugging a crash, just that if a crash happens he would like the log to be before rather than after. The log statements would be there no matter whether there is a crash or not, just in case.
