What is true of the most informative, insightful, and interesting posts on hacker news, but is also true of the laziest most worthless posts? They're both flagged, to keep you from seeing them.
Yeah. This is great for those seeking contentment alone. A lot of it struck me as making excuses for letting herself go. I realize that my wife and I have a much more "power couple" style deal. Of course it's going to vary from couple to couple. Perhaps there should be a browser extension that just inserts "to me" or "in my opinion" after declarative sentences.
PCs have interchangeable components that are built around standards. So if it's easier to write for them in an abstracted way. Vendors control the hardware for their phones. They have no interest in enabling people to remove their Android flavor, with built in crapware. Open source phone OSes will come, but only after we've reduced the smart phone to a commodity and market forces have compelled standardization through economy of scale.
Developer, and long time BSD user who has dabbled in linux. I keep trying to get away from Windows, but it keeps being something I have to use for work. So many businesses use C# and Microsoft SQL Server for their back ends, and IE 11 support is the bane of my existence for web development. Maybe it's different in southern California, but everywhere else Windows is still king.
So a game that is alluding to an act is now outrageous? If the women were pressured into it, sure, but seems like more outraged internet citizens of the West snap judgment to me. The shaming of the women for apparently allowing themselves to be shamed is the most hypothetical stance.
I am incentivized via the tax code to put money into a 401k, which I can take out early only as a down payment to purchase a home, and rent costs more than monthly mortgage payments, especially with the tax breaks for having one. How am I not being pushed to put my money in investment banks or a home?
The best argument for legalizing prostitution is because then it will allow for a separation of it and child sex trafficing, effectively undercutting the black market while preventing those unscrupulous enough to promote it from hiding behind the purposefully vague adult escort services.
Google abandoning a platform or dropping support for an API is hardly even news. They do this constantly. It's a hard lesson we developers should always keep in mind when selecting a platform, language, or toolkit.
Oh, so playing online with access to statistical tools and analysis, so really the computer advantage for knowing the odds is completely nil. It's really only then competing in the strategy element... very interesting indeed.
Yes, yes. We get it, we should know all things, keep up with all the latest rends, work 80+ hours every week, and do our company's IT support on the side for free while we code their software. Or companies could compensate us for our time and hire more god damn people if they need it. You know, just saying.
Thanks for the information. I guess my complaints are regarding the users rather than the moderation then. I did not realize that users had that much power.
Most significant variable. If green is a proxy for poor, which is in turn a proxy for risky mortgage loan, then the poor variable is the better point of discrimination.
But if you can convince people that there's just one simple way to be (instead of reacting to the situation at hand) then you can sell more self help books / appeal to a simplistic view of emotions where some are 'positive' and others 'negative.'
There seems to be a bit of explaining away all bias as the result of human creators here. If an algorithm trained on real world data displayed some traditional bias, would we assume such a cause and dismiss it? One could just as easily make this argument to dismiss all correlation based evidence. Yes the code / methodology matters, but we'd best get ready for deep learning algorithms to confront us with some uncomfortable truths.
Yet another article that conflates "protecting user" with wanting censorship of people who are on the right politically. Same with the fake news, and all wrapped up in any anti corporation narrative. Yawn.
So... fake news? Or do we subjectively only apply that to right wing outlets, since that was the intention of the propagandists pushing the concept and blaming Russia to cast their political opponents as traitors?
