TLDR: Talk to a lawyer.

It depends on whether they already know who you are. If you've managed to remain completely anonymous, you can pressure them much easier since they can't retaliate with legal repercussions.

If they know who you are especially, but generally as well, i recommend talking to a lawyer.

Edit: Removed bit about phone/email. Good point.

I feel that the biggest thing that most companies could do to safeguard a user's privacy is to just respect it: the majority of websites that ask for an email address to sign up don't truly require it for proper functioning.

Either they need to sell my address to spammers to finance their business or they delusionally believe I want to read their spam.
Is it necessarily the anaesthesia or a hemorrhage? Have they considered removing the root canal? Sometimes removing the materials from a root canal has improved a patient's health significantly.

Certainly one could understand why the dental industry would avoid the meme "root canal = bad!", but in this case the patient has little to lose, his future being lost already.
It sounds like the original commenter was saying that you should censor at a higher level (ie define boundaries for content, such as no porn or no commercial software cracks) and just remove all of those since they don't fit into the use case for your site and people can go elsewhere for them.

That way you're not subjectively censoring things, it either fits into the site or doesn't belong there.
What consequence should he face? Doctors are still people and can absolutely make stupid mistakes just like the rest of us. Any serious diagnosis should always lead to getting a second (or even third!) opinion.
I found that part really interesting since the requirement for a zero baseline today is limited to bar charts (see Few) whereas this insists you use it for line charts as well (which most modern data viz textbooks will say is okay because you judge the length of a bar chart but the position of a point in a time series).
0.20000000000000000, 0.20000000000000001, 0.20000000000000002 also work.

First thing is you need to be aware that anyway you do go with this could end up with legal action against you from the company. This can happen even to people with the best intentions or who try to be responsible. Just make sure you are aware and understand the risk.

You've already talked to the company, so anonymously releasing the information is out of question, they could probably track it to you.

Do they not have any sort of policy on this? Maybe try to talk to their team again but make sure you get it in writing and signed first that you're not going to be held liable, and just make sure you're safe. Maybe even ask a tech-orientated lawyer first?

My advice would to just try to be nice and open to the company, but stay firm that this is a major issue. Maybe write up some documents with exactly how you found everything, what it could mean to their company if it got out, and what they could do to fix it.

Just really be aware of your safety/risk. If you try to help and they don't want to fix it, don't feel bad or unethical, you've done what you can.

Your story (and others in the reply) sound a lot like experiences of people taking Ambien (Zolpidem) - sometime, they "wake up" in the middle of being awake, and more - sometimes, they do things (like eat, drive, email, etc.) without any recollection. Often, just as sharp as when they are really awake, but sometimes, very weirdly (people driving naked, stuff like that).

To me, that (and experiments of Gazanigga etc) indicate that Jaynes was onto something with the "bicameral mind" theory, as crazy as it sounds.

They return to Europe tomorrow and demand a better settlement. Why do they think the other Eurozone governments will accede to that demand?

They don't (assume it). They just know, from the results, that a worse settlement is not acceptable.

They can always default, and let the chips fall when they may.
Yes, it's a popular view nowadays among psychologists and cognitive scientists that the conscious self is just a sort of a senior manager that receives reports and thinks he's in charge while in fact his subordinates work just fine even when he's temporarily not available at all.
What abuse?

I think it's like a lot of things, whether it's leaving The Union, or Snowden's NSA revelations: a lot of people can't be bothered. I do not mean that to necessarily be a negative. In the case of the Confederacy (or even the Revolutionary War), a lot of folks are just getting by, a war is always a lot of trouble and expense, and in the end it probably benefits the well-to-do a lot more than it's going to benefit me, the common person. Meh, I'm going to go back to trying to get this year's crops in, let me know when it's over.

To put it another way, we all have different "causes". Me, it's animal welfare (for example), for you it's getting those pesky Yankees off our backs. I'm just not going to get as excited about the whole thing as the secessionists are. I might even argue that those Unionists aren't quite as bad as you make them out to be.

In summary, yeah, not everyone supported secession. Duh.

The way I read it, the advice is this: Allow and encourage your people to build tools to solve their own problems and if the projects are good, teams will form around them.

This answers the question from a management perspective. Facebook has a lot to gain from a small number of huge success stories like React. This makes up for the cost of all the failed little tooling projects.
There's an interesting nuance in the phrase "a certain moral obligation." In my understanding, it's a fairly weak statement [1], somewhat akin to "People will think more highly of you if you do this thing, and less highly if you don't."

Contrast this with "they have a moral obligation." To me that is a much stronger statement: "People will think you are behaving in an immoral way if you do not do this thing."

It's funny how adding the word "certain" to the phrase actually makes it a less certain, gentler way of putting things - quite the opposite of the literal meaning of the word.

Put another way, I could imagine a law being passed to enforce "a moral obligation". But it seems much less likely to have a law enforcing something described as "a certain moral obligation."

[1] I mean "weak" in the sense of not being a strong claim of obligation, not "weak" in the sense that the phrase is a poor way to say something.

Greece is like an orphaned child who really likes eating candy.

Back in the 1990s, Greece was eating lots of candy, but it wanted to be adopted into a big and wealthy family, and the parents of that family had a rule that they would not adopt children who ate too much candy. Greece kept on eating lots of candy, but it made faces and pretended that some of the candy was actually vegetables; and because some of the other kids in the family had grown fond of Greece, the parents overlooked the continued candy-eating and officially adopted Greece in 2001.

Now, it's sometimes difficult for orphaned children to get their hands on candy, but if you're part of a big and wealthy family, it becomes a lot easier. Just like most children would, Greece started eating a lot more candy. Greece's adopted parents also had rules about how much candy their kids could eat (not just rules for children they were considering adopting) but Greece wasn't the only child who was eating too much candy so they pretty much forgot about those rules for the moment.

Then 2008 hit. Some children on the other side of the world started getting sick from eating too much candy, and immediately people started looking around at other children who were eating lots of candy and worrying about them. Greece, which was by this point very much overweight, came to the top of everybody's lists of children who had eaten too much candy. Suddenly nobody was willing to give Greece any more candy, and this made Greece very unhappy.

So Greece turned to its adoptive parents and begged them to give it some more candy. While they had ignored Greece's growing waistline earlier, they had also gotten worried about it recently; so they offered Greece a deal: They would give Greece more candy -- not a lot, but enough that Greece could still feel slightly good about itself -- if Greece promised to go outside and get lots of exercise.

This worked for a while, and by 2014 Greece was starting to lose weight; but it wasn't very happy with the situation -- Greece wanted to be playing Candy Crush, not running around outside. In January 2015 Greece finally rebelled and told its parents that it was sick of running around outside and wanted a new deal which would allow it to keep eating candy and to be allowed to keep playing Candy Crush.

Greece's parents were not very impressed by this, and promptly told Greece that this was not acceptable, and Greece was not going to get any more candy if Greece didn't start doing as it was told. Today, Greece thought about this, answered back with a resounding NO, and slammed the door as it ran away from home.

So what happens now? Well, Greece isn't going to be getting any more candy, for one thing. Greece is going to be hungry, but the only way it will be able to eat at all is if it goes out and works hard to get it -- which means it won't have much time to play Candy Crush either. Greece might change its mind and go back to its parents, but at this point they're pretty tired of Greece's rebelliousness and they're not likely to start handing out candy unless they see Greece start running laps first.

All in all, Greece is in for a few unhappy years.
React allows you to optimize as much as you want while still keeping the component nature. In this case, you realize you need infinite appends.

You make a component that puts a reference div into the DOM. Next you override the default shouldComponentUpdate so when you get new data, you create the raw DOM elements using a document fragment and this.refs['elem'].appendChild(newDom) -- 0.14 syntax.

Premature optimization is usually bad. React allows you to write your app and then go as deep as necessary when optimizing later. The fact that you can do this while still keeping within react is a testament to the power of the framework/library.

The fact that a Google employee who pushed web components has a problem with a framework he doesn't know in a case that should usually be avoided without the optimizations that are possible says more about him than the framework he is criticizing.
I think financially you could be right, and perhaps if this had occurred 6 months ago, it could have flown politically.

The challenge with that approach would seem to be that politically in several Eurozone nation there's been a hardening of sentiment around this and so even if the leaders of those nations want to do that kind of deal, they may have a tough time convincing their own parlaiments..
One could certainly happen in the US, for the people are very well armed and are continuing to arm themselves at a rate I find alarming, even if, or because, I'm one of them.

The militarization of law enforcement doesn't mean much, e.g. look at how they completely loose there shit in the face of one disturbed, not very clever or effective assassin like Christopher Dorner [ADDED: there's a lot of cargo culting here; giving 10 police officer M16s/M4s, SAWs and grenades does not magically turn them into an US Army infantry squad]. At the other extreme, we the people can completely swamp them in a matter of hours, but of course motivating us to do that would be quite a trick.

"Advanced weaponry" is of no use without the will to use it. As an extreme example, a few nukes could terminate ISIS with extreme prejudice and collateral damage, but I don't know of any serious "hawk" even suggesting [WAS: advocating] their use.

I have grave doubts about your closing point, "a last resort if inequality continues at this rate"; is that so bad it's worth killing millions of people to merely attempt to fix it, with many and perhaps the most likely end results further emphasizing it? For that matter, who/what groups are going to start pulling triggers?

I don't know what you think socialism is, but we usually use the word to mean social collective control of the means of production.

On that basis we can say Greece's state owned industries and crony controlled companies with state mandated permits and monopolies make Greece more socialist than the First World typical.

Denmark is possibly the least socialist country in the world. (Some have the illusion that social insurance payments make Denmark more socialist but they impose little social control over individual choice, mostly redistributing cash from one person's young and healthy years to older less healthy ones and similarly from working years to schooling years.)

Not necessarily. The police are vastly outnumbered. Military technology only gets you so far (see: General Custer, Vietnam, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq part II) and both military and police might find themselves disobeying orders or even switching sides.

>And yet the extremely wealthy do face an abiding risk from festering inequity: The have-nots might finally lose patience and turn upon the haves. “That’s the real danger,” Mr. Cohan said. “This little thing called the French Revolution.”

Yeah... I keep hearing this threat from people who really ought to know better. Inequality is a major talking point from the left, but it reflects complete ignorance of how the world works.

The French Revolution is memorable precisely because it's so incredibly unusual. Look at Mexico, India, China... almost anywhere in the world aside from Europe and North America. There is virtually no society on the planet that doesn't concentrate wealth and power among the elite one percent, gated off from the lower classes. I'm not even speaking historically -- show me a modern country on any other continent that even remotely approaches a middle class.

Also, re-distributing wealth doesn't necessarily solve the cultural problems that create inequality. Egypt massively subsidized food... and Egyptians promptly had massive numbers of children that overwhelmed even the ridiculously cheap food prices. Just this week, Afghanis threw acid in the faces of schoolgirls trying to get an education. The Saudis cling to power through massive welfare programs to pacify their increasingly fundamentalist populace. Even here in the US, cultures that discourage education and responsibility aren't suddenly going to churn out engineers and doctors if billionaires give away their wealth.

The US will just continue down the well-trodden path that the rest of the world has already blazed, where tiny pockets of wealthy elites try to shelter themselves from the increasingly lawless masses. A revolution requires organization and discipline, which is absurd to expect even before you consider the unbeatable modern surveillance of all communications and movements in developed countries. The only threat that masses pose is lawless violence, much like what we saw in the Arab Spring -- but that's not really a problem when you can concentrate the rabble outside of elite pockets. Particularly when the rabble lack a unifying religious fervor, like what you see in the coalescing identity of fundamentalist Islam across MENA and Europe.

So please stop making vague threats about the French Revolution, people. The Second Amendment is not going to help rednecks water the tree of liberty. The people are not going to surge against their capitalist oppressors as a tide of justice or whatever. At worst, less developed countries will turn into Libya... but the more likely result is India, where elites gate off the masses and let them cultivate self-destructive cultures.
I now understand that your point here is to be insulting.
On this point specifically, let's think about what happens in a professional context that actively tries to look past the gender of the subject and focus on the outcomes delivered by the person. Would you agree that gender can add a bias to a lot of cases where it shouldn't exist?

Fairplay to them, the whole point of the EU project was to make us all "Europeans" and to prevent constant disastrous fighting between states and people of the continent.

Sometime in the last 10 years many people and the media in the "core" countries got all smug and uppity towards those lazy "peripherals" and so on forgetting exactly why the project was started, overnight we stopped being "Europeans" and became "undustrious Germans", "smart and holier than thou Nordics", "lying Greeks", "lazy Spanish" and in case of my own little peripheral island country "reckless Irish".

Part of that would depend on how many people in military/police roles saw the unrest as riots/protests to be squashed versus a revolution to be joined. And political will for even the current level of police force against protests is showing some signs of turning, let alone for massive use of force against citizens.

Even on foreign military missions, we (the US) can certainly take over territory quickly, such as the invasion of Iraq, but we aren't willing (or possibly able) to be despotic all-powerful overlords after "bringing freedom" didn't end the way we wanted.

That aside, a situation has to get really bad before revolution, and all its associated costs and bloodshed, would be a net positive. And that's for successful revolution, historically the results have been more spotty.
Believe so. But either way if its extensions well that sucks because I only have like 2-3 and I want. Extensions shouldn't be written in a way that does that -- chrome and safari don't have this problem and I have about 12 chrome extensions.
And on the other hand there are things even a number of engineers working together can't predict. Everybody makes mistakes, and having people who can work well under pressure is important regardless of whose fault caused the problem to begin with.

You can figure out the rotational period, and get an idea of what the surface looks like, from a light curve. For example, if half of it reflects a lot more light than the other half, then you'll see a repeating brighter/dimmer/brighter/dimmer pattern with a period equaling the rotational period.

If you have a gap in the light curve, it increases your uncertainty.

This is good feedback. As mentioned below in the thread, using a gender neutral pronoun may serve as an in-between. Sweden's working on it:

I agree that the write-up is flawed - it tries to take on a deeper problem which someone smarter would probably have solved ages ago, had it been simpler.

The thesis boils down to - we have to understand cases where gender shouldn't matter, and have the tools to be able to write appropriately. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts.
