Ban Jargon? Seriously?
I was originally excited about this book, but then I started reading it, and one of its first targets was: Jargon.
I thought, "Well, maybe the author explains the value of it," and googled around.
I found this:
* https://www.facebook.com/laure...And it was referencing this:
* http://www.geekymomblog.com/20...Great. "Ban Jargon." Like "Ban Bossy," and so on.
Jargon: the instrument of the Patriarchy, that the Man weilds, to keep little girls out of computers. And now we're going to teach girls how to program, with a Ban Jargon campaign.
The example she used was the word "instance." How dare the mansplainer not know that she didn't know the term, and immediately suss out exactly how she needed to be treated for her immediate perfect enlightenment. How dare unfamiliar words be used as she learns something new.
The reason girls don't program is because: unfamiliar words? Why doesn't that stop boys? And what the heck are we supposed to call our class instances, if not
... instances?I think I'll still give the book a try, because I think that the world that the author constructs (which is laden with Jargon, everywhere,) is beautiful and fun. I can tell myself that it's for my daughter, but really, it's just for me.

Please stop droning about the real names policy
Facebook is apparently extremely successful and they still have a real names policy: https://www.facebook.com/help/... Google had one and now no longer has it; but people keep pointing to the real names policy as a major reason that G+ isn't more popular. If that was the case, no one would be using FB.

Re:Not surprised
When a forum starts to limit legal speech a slowly growing cancer of censorship is inevitable. And don't say, "slippery slope".
Your first sentence is the definition of a "slippery slope" argument. You even used the most obvious word in slippery slope arguments; "inevitable". As the saying goes, "the only two things that are inevitable are death and taxes". Sure there are places where censorship has gotten out of hand but there are many more places where "censorship" has not. For example, Facebook has restrictions on the content of photos.
You will not post content that: is hate speech, threatening, or pornographic; incites violence; or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence.
Do you think because of that they will later censor political speech too? There are lots of sites that restrict sexual content and still have very broad free speech rules.
So now breakup posts of nude pictures that were sent in strictest confidence at a time of lust and love is now a freedom of speech issue? Sorry but ruining someone else's life because they discovered you are a duchbag and you are mad at them is not protected speech.
"It's okay to ban this kind of speech" is never. Never true.
Sorry but we live in a world that is not as black and white as you seem to see it. Some speech needs to be restricted as it causes damage without having any redeeming qualities.
Denial of free speech is the first act of tyranny.
It has been but it also has been the first step in the creation of a civil society. Criminalizing libel and slander has caused people to be sure of their facts before speaking. Do you believe that accusing an innocent person of pedophilia is free speech? Accusations like that can ruin people's lives. It is impossible to prove a negative like "He is not a pedophile"? There will always be the possibility that the proof of guilt was just not found. Too many people believe the saying "where there is smoke there is fire". Sometimes it is just someone trying to ruin someone else's life. Absolutes like "Never true" cause more trouble than they solve. We should be very careful what kind of speech we restrict. I believe requiring a release to post sexual content pictures is a valid restriction.
Everything is about balance. In this case it is the balance between the right to freedom of speech and and the right to privacy. In this specific instance the right to privacy is more important than the ability to post sexual photos of someone else. Your argument that "if they restrict this they will restrict everything" is just absurd.

news?
This isn't new news and it shouldn't be on Slashdot. The title of "Facebook Will Soon Be Able To ID You In Any Photo" is clickbait, and "soon" was years ago. The article on "Sciencemag.org" is just a summary of a research paper by Facebook titled Deepface which was published in early 2014. https://research.facebook.com/... Additionally, this summary-story has already been on Slashdot in March of 2014, http://tech.slashdot.org/story... . I've done a lot of artwork and research involving facial recognition, but I hope that most people already realized that Facebook was doing facial recognition research.

Re:Uh, don't post...
Perhaps, but then you have the whole problem that Facebook is based in a different state than the NYPD, so now you have to figure out where to sue them, and then you get into the whole thing that click-through Terms of Service and End User License Agreements may not entirely be enforceable.
No you don't. The Facebook legal terms which all users of the service agree to already address this:
You will resolve any claim, cause of action or dispute (claim) you have with us arising out of or relating to this Statement or Facebook exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California or a state court located in San Mateo County, and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating all such claims. The laws of the State of California will govern this Statement, as well as any claim that might arise between you and us, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
This is pretty typical terminology for online services, I recall even AOL having such phrasing (I think setting jurisdiction as being in Virginia) circa 1999.

VPN servers not so secure...
I've listened to cell phone calls before just screwing around with a scanner. I've heard a person confirming a reservation and give their credit card number. This was mid 90's. So know how easy it is - or was at that time.
I found this post looking for something else, it's off topic for the thread. This pertains to Wifi as well as a PC.
"If you have to use public Wifi then use free VPN service like Hotspot Shield, CyberGhost, OkayFreedom, Spotflux, SafeIP or SecurityKISS which will provide the same security as your home router." http://malwaretips.com/threads...
-Below is something I've written up for well family.-
I've done the leg (finger?) work here. All are free with varying limited data usage. Reading the privacy policy of each, SecurityKISS is my choice and the only one that offers true anonymity if you wish (absolute only with the free service), and the only one that doesn't require a registration. But ones call is routed to Ireland, (and it's jurisdiction), it's noted that they have never given any information out to anybody. http://www.securitykiss.com/ab...
---EndThen checked out out their Facebook page, NSA has compromised their system or service, This found due to a Snowden release. "Starting with 2014/12/17 SecurityKISS discontinued the PPTP service." The CEO made mention they may have the data but it's still has to be decrypted, something I can only assume has been.
https://www.facebook.com/pages...Damn odd it's not listed in their Privacy policy, but then PPTP is still being offered as a service..

Re:White privilege of Craigslist
In general, to use craigslist you are going to need a cell phone and email service and you are going to leave a trail of evidence. The numbers of murders tied to craigslist since its inception is under 60. http://lawstreetmedia.com/blog...
Sure there are likely people who disappeared that were never noticed but probably not thousands.
In comparison police officers killed over 1,100 just in 2014.
https://www.facebook.com/Kille...
http://www.fatalencounters.org...
Even if the police were 95% accurate in only killing people who 'deserved' it, one year of police slayings still out numbers all of craigslists murders.
And if you want to quibble over numbers, quadruple the craigslist numbers and cut the police numbers by a third and its still not close. -

I've used GCompris (among other tools) last year in a summer camp for children from socially vulnerable families. It was a project powered by volunteers and donations.

"Hint" maybe you should read this:
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/... .. and after you read that you can research and consider all the ways that Facebook has changed it's privacy settings over the years that constantly expose a wider assortment of information and allow greater data gathering by default, requiring users to maintain constant vigilance and opt-out, rather than opt-in. ... and then when you're done with that you can research how they have set up their "governance" system such that on the face of it they claim to take input from their user base about their major policy changes, but have set it up in such a way that there is virtually no chance that end users can override anything they want to do, despite the programs existence.You have to be really nuts to be defending Facebook of all companies when it comes to user privacy.

Mike Rowe for president
Oh, this? https://www.facebook.com/TheRe...
I don't think I read that in quite the same way... it sounds like his main point is that Ferguson was essentially an unfortunate confrontation between asshole cops and asshole teens, and we shouldn't let an episode of "when assholes collide" dominate the national debate between law enforcement and minorities. It's not fair to our black friends and it's not fair to our cop friends (especially the ones who are not assholes).
That said, there's a lot of work we have to do from both sides to help improve race relations and authoritarian abuse of power, to provide good examples of how people ought to treat each other. The media portrayal of both cops and minorities is terrible and serves as a bad example for impressionable youths and law enforcement officials. We ought to figure out some way of giving good role models more media exposure.

Re:In the name of Allah !
It depends on the Christians. I observed a really enlightening conversation lately, where people were discussing a question of whether and how the support for torture of presumed terrorists is compatible with their Christian faith.
It was astonishing just how many people self-identifying as Christians approved of torture, and what mental gymnastics they used to fit it in the presumed bounds of their morals. While the most common argument was the usual "waterboarding is not torture la la la", a number of people have actually specifically said that they're okay with torture in such circumstances because it's "just" or "necessary" etc. Some even claimed Jesus would have done so himself in the same situation! Others said that as they're not as perfect as Christ, they are not bound to the same rules (basically saying that they're Christians in name only).
Many claimed that their God would condone torture without specific scriptural references, e.g.:
"A Christian God condones war in defense of your home and people and torture goes along with war".
"God speaks of war. Jesus speaks of war and if killing during war is okay, how can torture not be."
"Jesus is all about justice. ... Violent actions men take are not evil in and of themselves, but serve or deny justice according to there full measure. If making a villain uncomfortable will lead to preventing future evil, or lead to perpetrators of evil being brought to justice, then those actions are righteous."Many brought up the case of Jesus using violence to scatter the merchants in the Temple as a justification for the use of violence in general.
Surprisingly many have basically said that they would do it even knowing that it's wrong on the grounds of necessity, and then ask forgiveness afterwards (since Jesus conveniently allows for that); e.g.:
"I will do whatever I feel is necessary to protect my friends and family while praying thai can be forgiven."
"I will face my god when its time, Until that point I will ask forgiveness and have done what needed to be done."
"Jesus wouldn't do it, but I'm married to a Marine, so I'm going to have to ignore what Jesus wants to keep him safe. See that's the beauty of being Christian, he forgives."
"If torture led to the whereabouts of my child or the safety of our family or country, I would have to pray and ask for forgiveness later."
"there are times when it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission"
"Sometimes you do what you think is right to save the ones you love and ask for forgiveness later."
"Not that anyone asked, but I am re-born (Born Again) into Christianity and yet I believe that we must do what we must do in war to stop greater evil. Then repent for any harm or hurt you have done and ask for forgiveness."Quite a few specifically cite the OT as a justification, e.g.:
"Moses did what was needed at the time, saul, samuel, david, 1 Samuel 15:15, 21). And thus, thereby, not fully obeying the Lord's command, which was to "... utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass" (1 Samuel 15:3). "One found the justification, of all places, in Revelations:
"in the book of Revelations (New Testament by the way) chapter 9 verses 4-6, Jesus (who is also God as we have already established) commands through the Angel that men should be hurt but not killed. To me that sounds like torture. So in my view, torture would me allowed by God in order to save lives of people that still have a chance at becoming believers in Christ. "One took the opposite approach to literalism, and preferred to chalk it all down to allegory:
"The New Testament teaches us to be forgiving... not naive. In fact, we are instructed to be "wise as serpents". A wise Christian understands what is to be taken as allegory and metaphor in the Bible. And, what is to be taken literally. A wise Christian -
Re:Starivore?
Amazingly, this is the premise for my next SciFi novella - "StarEaters of Erdition", about a species of non-sentient astrophages. I think I'll use a plucky 70yo trans-species cyborg who's sentient self (hence, "who's") detects their existence and maps their trajectory from peta-peta-bytes of old Hubble data. Throw in a bit of a Cassandra complex (no one believes its (gender neutral pronoun) pronouncements). I think I'll cast Brent Spiner ("Data") as the carbon-based-component of the cyborg and George Takai ("Mr. Sulu") for the voice of the (nominally) silicone-based-component of the cyborg).

Re:AC current maintained only by tradition?
I can see applications for DC power distribution in certain circumstances. High-density computing, for one - why have a full mains PSU in every server? It's expensive, more points of failure, and you end up going from mains incoming to DC for the UPSs inverted to AC to send back to the servers converted back to DC for use inside - and those inverters are not that reliable too. It makes more sense to feed all the servers off of DC (Usually 48V - any lower and current gets silly), and have the power supply stuff all centralized. All the servers need is a DC-DC converter for each rail.
Telcos have been doing exactly that for decades now: all their exchanges and much of the optical kit runs on -48V: it's a low enough voltage to be safe to work on when live (negative rather than positive because that protects against corrosion on the wires), easy to combine sources (a diode will do it), no need to "switch" to backup power (just connect your load, battery and source together, job done).
Facebook went the other way for a large server farm, though: running 480V 3-phase AC to the racks (277V per phase). Cleverly, though, they don't need to convert DC from the batteries to AC in power cuts: the mixed DC/AC bus feeds switch-mode power supplies which convert incoming power to DC anyway, so switching between AC utility power and DC battery power doesn't matter. Pretty clever really, IMO.

Your postal code, on the other hand, is not. In fact, Facebook doesn't even record that type of information. Your "current location" is basically freeform. (Technically it's a "page" for a given city. But I think you can enter anything you want in there.)

Re:No.
Worth mentioning, there's a difference between asserting it will all be video, and preparing your infrastructure for that possibility.
I tracked down the webcast and the question is asked ~34 minutes in.
Here's what he actually said, beyond the snippet being quoted everywhere5 years ago, most of facebook was text and if you fast forward 5 years, probably most of it is going to be video, just because it's getting easier to capture video of the moments of your lives and share it [...]
He then talks about the news feed ranking your stories.
Every day there are about 1,500 stories that are shared with you and the average person will only look at about 100 a day, because that's all you have time for
In 5 years, if everything on facebook is video, the average person is sure as hell not going to have time to interact with 100 videos per day.
Unless they copy Vine, a richer video experience on facebook will necessarily mean that you interact with less people per unit of time. -

Re:Compared to Facebook
The 4PB they generate is actually highly compressible and they are most likely referring to raw logs. According to the page which quotes the 4 PB figure; FB states they have 300 petabytes of data in 800,000 tables in total. Since that's about 75 days worth of data and FB has been around far longer than that they are most likely referring to logs. So the actual disk space they need per day is far less than 4PB.

Re:Compared to Facebook
To put this in perspective, Facebook states to be generating 4 PB per day, so 3.6 times more than the LHC. Does anybody know about anything generating more data than that?

You may also want to check out CD3WD
It's an effort headed by an aid worker in Africa (Alex Weir). Basically, he wanted to produce a compendium of useful information which could be applied by developing nations; topics like agriculture, engineering, construction, sanitation, medicine, etc. . Much of the source material comes from UN publications, so its more current and applicable than "turn of the century" techniques. Among the interesting items, it includes an html, hypertext expert system for medical diagnostics. You go to the start page, click relevant symptoms, and eventually it leads you to a guestimate of what's ailing you. Its not remotely as competent as an actual doctor, but its better than nothing when you're stuck "in the Bush".
Besides the information being indexed and organized, Weir had a vision of burning the collection on DVDs and distributing them to the third world. (At one point, it appeared he was reorganizing the material as pdf pages which could be viewed by a DVD player, using DVD menus. That would remove the need for a conventional computer or tablet to access the material. I don't know if it ever got finished.) About a year or two ago, he decided to reorganize the collection in a hybrid wiki form, which he calls "microdownloads". Its now updated more frequently, and the DVD collection will probably not be revised.
Unfortunately, it looks like the Facebook page hasn't been updated since 4/11/14, and Google has a link hinting that the site was "hacked". Finally, going to the website pops up a login window. I'm not sure if that's a new development in response to the hacking, or that the hacker still "controls" the site. Perhaps Mr. Weir is still in Africa and can't address the situation until he's returned to civilization. Its pretty unusable in its current state, but there's probably a way to find a previous working mirror of the site.
In any case, I'll leave links for people who wish to investigate the issue further, and more important, a magnet link to pickup the 2012 cd3wd 6 DVD collection by torrent.

Being the co-founder of Doctors For Obama had nothing to do with his nomination. Not political at all. Nope.

Re:I don't get it.
Facebook does exactly what they should. They won't delete a damned thing based on your word. Serve them a court order and you'll get a lot further.
Try reading their terms of service
section 3.6
You will not bully, intimidate, or harass any user.
and section 3.10
You will not use Facebook to do anything unlawful, misleading, malicious, or discriminatory.
and 4.1
You will not provide any false personal information on Facebook, or create an account for anyone other than yourself without permission.
and 4.7
You will keep your contact information accurate and up-to-date.
and 4.8 (the account was created by one student, then shared with another)
You will not share your password (or in the case of developers, your secret key), let anyone else access your account, or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of your account.
and 4.9 (see above)
You will not transfer your account (including any Page or application you administer) to anyone without first getting our written permission.
Facebook deletes accounts all the time without being required to be served a court order. Or did you forget this?
Facebook just doesn't want to set a high-profile precedent that they have a duty to actually enforce some of their ToS when it's a child being victimized. But what can you expect from anti-social media?
