I'm leaning towards "opportunistic assassination". I'm quite ready to believe he's an asshole, and a good chunk of TFS.
But only a naive person will overlook how emphatically it's being presented as relevant. Plenty of criminals were unhygienic assholes and such, but how many articles about murderers bother to mention it? Except as distraction, a sideshow, a circus, misdirection.
Or to discredit someone. Especially someone with things to claim that you really want discredited.
If people see your shop sign that says HAIRCUT: $10, they'll present you with a Hamilton and request service.
If you have no signage, they're likely to inquire. Your answer of "how much you got" will put them off, but many will still present a Hamilton for you to pluck.
If you do this, then immediately accept $1.50 from someone else, in plain sight, how likely do you think it is they'll come back? Maybe if you start cutting the $1.50 deal with them. Perhaps. But wait, no, they're still expected to pay $10. Okay, off they go~
Me, I'm more concerned that states are trying to out-blood each other. Besides the show of corporatocracy, it's self-destructive. It's Bob and Jimmy selling their lunches for $5! $2! $1! Free! I'll pay you to come to my shop not his!
* Hamilton is the president on $10 bill in the US. * Bob Belcher runs a burger shop across the street from Jimmy, a rival.
Think about it. The scene is done to comic effect. A show of absurdity. Ha ha, only *idiots* would do something so ridiculous, ha ha ha oh what mirth what madness!
You're followed by a post saying overall sales are up.
And yet you're right. They'll still say it. If not to get their way lobbying, as the familiar pacifier put into the faces of The Holy Shareholders. Sorry I didn't bring you more free money, sirs. I would have, if it wasn't for those meddling pirates.
You have no business owning any property or capital, commoner. You'll operate computer software when we say so. Your movies will play when we say so. Your keurig will brew when we say so. Your toilet will flush AFTER it authenticates with our servers to get our say so.
There are some people questioning the timing of The Masses, or even saying there was never any kind of septembercaust at any time at all, that any perceived tiers/factions aren't just blurred into each other, they're uniform.
Counterpoint: 20 years of corporate penetration. By which I mean both market reach/interest/value and the imagery of phallic infestation.
Pick the right metrics and you can chart the influx. Because to these industries, surface dwellers meant money, they had preeeeetty adequate incentive to measure and, intentionally or not, encourage their residency and numbers.
A million posts bickering about the definition of AI. A replicating nanobot doesn't need ANY definition to graygoo our shit, it could do it with 100% static code and one shortsighted human.
Yes, it's turned into buzzword bullshit for clicks and pitches (present article included) diluted to hell and so sprawled it loses all meaning, but the combination of a runaway program with physical components is also a concern. And any sort of dynamic parameters (however you "identify" or categorize them) reduce predictability.
"choose multiple random words" "using 4 random words from a list of 500 common words is shit"
Getting mixed messages here.
"Common phrases" are an arguably vulnerable set - if you're stupid enough to use them verbatim. If you child likes bob the builder and spongebob, the "common phrase" CwfiWliap is awfully resilient. Mix in a birth year or any other permutation if you want, but you're done, no need for further memory tax (which leads to reuse, stickies, reset requests, etc) on a nine digit behemoth that bears very little recall burden.
Frankly I don't think cracking tools have incorporated too much on "common phrases" just yet. That sort of mass-language neural stuff is more google's department. But sure, give it a decade or two, they'll know to test (trees forking from) canwefixit, probably using learning dumps leaked from google/whoever. Given how long we taught poor gains (just add 1! to the end, everybody!) for high recall costs, and how long it takes new practices to penetrate, planning a decade or two ahead sounds right.
The benefit of for-profit journals is their incentive to publish high quality research
They publish anything that pays the bribe. It's been tested, they've sent out garbage and it goes right through if your check does. It's been a headline on/. more than once.
I'm won't claim they offer zero value, but let's not pretend this is anything but a racket.
Awful lot of people here seem to be oozing with anxiety, as though they had an assumption of being in a nice, invisible, private domain. Which is fine to expect in my own home, but not something I'd naively entertain in this scenario.
These are probably the same people who are oblivious to the ocean of invisible databases they're swimming in. With data regarding them. The people who happily facetweet the day away then shout "how is that legal" when shit comes to roost, when their insurance goes up about something "they couldn't possibly know about". The people who think incognito mode does anything. The people who think a website can't track every action you take because "I bought an iphone and apple doesn't sell data". FFS you're logged into a user account with your name right on it.
Hell, just the people crazy enough to browse on a phone period. The tactics used to defy surveillance in 2019 are ever more demanding, but there's no expertise requirement to stop being naive. Assume everything is logged. Assume any data you don't directly control is immediately available to every group and person in existence.
It's only gonna get worse. You think traffic light cameras are bad? Get ready for a brave new world of LPRs and facerec.
GFM has the legal right to block it. Moral is debatable. Private censorship gets more complicated.
Some other posts question the yield of suppression, more than the morality. And they might have a point.
Perhaps the message doesn't need to be directly silenced. By subjecting themselves to the terms of a private platform, these people sign off on letting GFM attach disclaimers. "This submission may contain misrepresented, deceptive, or even harmful health claims." etc, links to WHO or whatever.

Our K12 used to pay for a $100 warranty on $400 ipads.
Even assuming they had absolute no questions coverage (dropped, stolen, lost (and found later??), toilet swim, fire, etc) there was no way we could pretend 25% usage was happening. I don't know who was behind the practice, I don't know when it stopped, but we don't bother anymore, on any apple product. You'd probably get better value throwing the extra wad at a casino table. Those also have an existence based solely on the hard "Consumer loses." reality.
I laugh at the nouveau edition of PC culture (while not necessarily disagreeing with their ultimate motive/goal) as I have the Jack Thompsons of the past, demonizing the blood of Mortal Kombat and Dunegons&Dragons. And there's plenty of words to choose from. Isn't "SJW" good enough to be derisive of armchair stair-removing crusaders? Or whatever umbrella you'd like to shit on. I suspect snowflake was a runaway co-opting, it simply got scooped up by incidental adjacency, misinterpreted as a pertinent sneer.
Anyone possessing both age and IQ in the double digits sees the obvious lineage from "super special snowflake" - a concept that does admittedly still share some small overlap with the various misuses by various groups against various labels - but egos are pretty independent of faction/politics. That's the gap, the term had more to do with ego than sensitivity. Entertaining the idea that one's stylings and ideas are unique, the illusion that any of us are anything but One More Meatbag, the fantasy of every era: Pretending you don't share the exact same fate as every other soon-to-be-putrid worm shit temporarily walking around.
Ironically, the point of calling someone a super special snowflake was that no one is. You are "unique" as every other UUID in the billion invisible databases we swim in, a piece of data with no "unique" value except to further profit somewhere.
Anyway, I don't particularly care about the word's dilution. There's others I'm more annoyed by. Hell, "literally" is still a flaming bag of poo. And I hope GP wasn't thinking I should care if a word is "too cancerous".
https://thatoneprivacysite.net... is an attempted chart of jurisdictions, practices, etc. so reference away. I think torrentfreak or such also do a top-ten or something, every few (12?) months.

It's a sick joke that I have to pay two web-connecting services to connect to each other, but here we are.
Fridge thought: Get data versus the whitenoise baseline. Find what audio hurts the myriad metrics (creativity, focus, productivity, sheer thought) less than clutter and chatter, netting a net advantage (and more disdain for the headline).
It's 2019 and we are infatuated with software/hardware that must ask permission to even turn on. Which means you're not the owner of your own property.

Did not RTFA. Have no fucking idea what they're measuring. Especially since these differ.
If I'm a writer trying to pen a piece of fiction, you'd better believe a hit of emotional (positive, negative, etc) music will get me imagining better. This probably applies to many "creativity"-based efforts, everything from poets to an engineer down at Square One. Well, no, Zero really. When you're designing what to design and not actually designing.
But not Square Two. Obviously a coder trying to mentally wield the paths of several functions and variables and ensure they collide into an accurate conclusion will be hampered by any music. Any distraction. Any synapse that isn't calculation of the tedious, numbery abstract.
But is that creativity? That's deterministic thinking. "Am I 100% certain that this always resolves in X manner, and perfectly crops out detail Y from affecting the data. I need to investigate this flow, which involves me not actually changing or doing jack shit, just examining." as opposed to "Hey so here's a new idea..."
In short, fuck that headline. Sure, music may inhibit your mental prowess, your clock speed, your RAM space, just pick any other fucking word.
Most conventions do that on their 1D space. Reading order is L2R, so that alone defaults the lean's not-so-arbitrary name as "forward", but number lines (cartesian planes, etc) tend to grow L2R, and video games (esp platformers) are almost purely L2R=forward preference.
Human DNA evolved to favor right-handed development, so L2R writing is favored (trails output script, i.e. no smudging)
Since I'm four replies deep in nerds bullshitting about dumb nerd stuff, let's mention that handedness theory is mostly based on the heart. At first it was shrugs like "left arm carries shield and protects heart, right is armed" but newer thoughts aim further back: It stemmed from females who left-armed babes, who would be quieter (ie stealthier, more successful right-arm throw-hunting results) when sensing a heartbeat. A metronome known to have a primal effect on infants recently suffused by them, nonstop, for nine months. Which allows the next nerd derail to be abortion or something.
