It means the halting problem applies, and analysis of program behavior becomes much more difficult. Could be an interesting attack vector.

A lot of people I know are specifically shopping for smart TVs. They want a Netflix box with a screen.

It will learn even unsigned code after enough time, but future versions may or may not keep your earned reputation. The certificate is a good idea.

Blame isn't the only problem. Humans also hate change. Eliminating blame reduces the resistance to implementing better policies but does not completely resolve it.

Not that simple. Planes need to take off and land into the wind. Your “simple” rule would dramatically lower capacity of the runway.

They have one of the worlds most comprehensive maps of SSIDs to location. So even that wouldn’t really prevent them from knowing where you live.

-40 is pretty rare for most of us, but -20c (-4 f) is not too uncommon in many parts of the mid-west.

My ICE car handled the polar vortex just fine. Although any marginal parts are vastly more likely to fail, I imagine a lot of batteries were replaced.

It would if they maintained the same revenue and innovation velocity.

The last one is really hard to judge though. Its quite common for a CEO to effectively cut R&D and be seen as a genious for reducing costs. The company dies a slow death resting on its goodwill for a decade or more.

The “we win by default” phrase is also in some scummier payday loan contracts and is apparently legal.

But I don’t think it should be legal to waive your court rights like that.

It’s human nature, and it happens not just in business. People get up in arms whenever an open source project tries to monetize in some way other than “support”.

At the expense of the great performance.

People are sorted into different classes in companies. You’ll never get a company to pay six figures for someone they consider a free intern - regardless of whether it’s in their economic interest.

Ocean acidification is a global problem. NOx smog may seem local but it has large scale effects.

Here’s one example: http://copleydc.net/copleydc_staff/Cantlupe/cantlupe_1-27-04...

Aside, google has gotten worse than useless. In a first ever I had to scroll through a full page of cancer treatment ads. Zero organic results on the first page. Even then it needed careful tweaking to get Google off the “treatments for cancer” train of thought.

Was not able to find the dog story I remembered. Google wants to show me either national security or cancer treatment but not the intersection.

Radiation detection is really good. You would never get the device into the country.

There have been people pulled over in the DC area after undogoing chemotherapy. In one case it was a small dog.

The US emits more CO2 while Europe releases far more NOx and other more “traditional” pollutants.

The diesel emissions scandal in the US had a European counterpart that was never dealt with. 2018 models are still polluting far above the official limits which themselves are more lax than the US. [1]

It doesn’t matter if it was marketed to them or not. They have both a moral and legal duty of care to protect children.

Legally the parents consented to the charges, but it’s clear from the leaked documents Facebook knew parents thought it was a one time charge not something their kid could spend without limits.

It’s cool and all but an explanation of why it was faster would be helpful. What we’re they doing wrong before?

Also the wheels are not connected to the pistons anymore so that rocket is going nowhere.

Facebook has made a lot of enemies:

- Traditional online media has been looking for an online advertising giant to attack for a while, Facebook was the first to be involved in a national scandal (Google is bigger but they're "Not Evil"). They want to regain some control of their advertising income

- Democrats blame Facebook for electing Trump

- Republicans blame Facebook for moderating from the left (doesn't help Zuckerberg was courting the Clintons and actively assisting her during the election).

- Privacy advocates want a focal point for the issue of online privacy and data mining.

The real question is: who doesn't hate Facebook right now?

If a union goes on strike they have the decency to tell the company they are striking. That's the difference between ghosting and quitting in protest. If you had no employees because they all quit you still have to shutdown even if they told you they were quitting.

This has very little to do with whether someone actually comes into work and everything to do with what they say or don't say.

You may not realize it if you haven’t worked these jobs - but the person you hurt most when skipping your shift is not the company. It’s the poor soul promoted to frontline management getting an extra $1 an hour. At Walmart you’ll see them with the red vests.

They’re the ones who get yelled at by the customers for the crappy service and upper management for not being able to find someone to come in on zero notice.

I can guarantee that the one place the message doesn’t go is upper management in corporate.

Walking off in a rage is still not ghosting. Unless you do it silently when your boss doesn’t see.

I’ve had shitty jobs including a stint at Walmart. You may leave without notice but the vast majority of people had the decency to tell their manager they were out. People working crap jobs have self respect and common decency too.

The article is about leaving without resigning or doing anything. Even quitting with zero notice is better than what is being talked about here.

> Look, they don't care much about PR among consumers, they don't sell to them.

Actually they do - directly in the grocery store there is Maple Leaf branded meat.

Further they have PR commercials on all the time about how happy and healthy the farms are.

Your analysis is flat out wrong.

US worker productivity growth has been extremely limited over the last 15 years. Simply put the economy isn’t that efficient relative to population growth.

What has happened is massive growth in drug prices, housing, and other non-productive areas of the economy. Rent seeking is rampant.

> Then you only sell the drugs that do profit, and stop making the ones that cost money.

This is the situation we're in now. Just different people shoulder differing amounts of the cost. Equal pricing won't change the fundamental economics of drug research.

Fraud was cited as a major factor contributing to the S&L crises. In companies it tends to be in the form of Control Fraud where insiders fleece the corporation.

They’ve done this forever with their computers. Happy with the CPU but don’t want a horrible 5400rpm hard drive (Yes iMacs still ship with those)? Well you’re going to need to bump up to the higher CPU model.

This ruling doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in fair treatment for foreign companies in Europe. Its one thing if this was a default judgement because McDonald's was boycotting the proceedings, but they filed a good faith response.

If McDonald's is a bullying litigant - there are ways to deal with it that don't bring the court itself into disrepute.

> It's one of the criticisms of her I gave above: you can't post on the internet looking for money and interaction from a western audience and then tell the west "You can't criticize how I choose to express myself!" And now she's been largely cut off from her western audience and their money and is complaining about that fact.

The problem is not the criticism, its the culture war and tactic of de-platforming anything uncomfortable. If she just got rude messages or even unfair articles in the NYT and it was left there, then she could just ignore them and continue doing what she likes doing - and what her audience likes watching.

It should also be noted that her latest deplatforming wasn't even related to her. Paypal cut off her alternative to gofundme because of other people they were funding. She was just collateral damage.

Nobody here is complaining about mere criticism. They are complaining about the very real attacks and successful attempts at censure and silencing.
