Even if someone can review 1,000 pictures a day facebook would have to hire 300,000 people to ensure none of the pictures posted are 'kiddie porn'
Good. Facebook's stupid system should be unbearably expensive, even with content moderator farms in Morocco where your image doesn't get more than a second's consideration.
It's currently a kiddie-pool design, where people can get accounts semi-anonymously, people can report things that make them feel uncomfortable anonymously, and the images are taken down anonymously.
How 'bout this:? You show some ID to get an account. If you post kiddie porn, it gets reported to the police and they come knock on your door. Whoever reports you to the police is not anonymous, and if they are filing a false report you can sue them for harasement, slander, and bill them for your time.
Oh, but that's not a padded-wall environment that keeps you on the site for as long as possible so you can be shown the maximum number of ads. I won't begrudge them their maximum profit, but it should be really clear what those ads cost.
Sure, it means radical ideas won't do well on Facebook, but there are other sites for that and it also means one can participate in a group that appreciates 18th-century paintings without getting put in the timeout chair. A bit more like real life than Facebook's current unsustainable fantasy.
Ooohhh... Great, it seems thst the encouding is broken. Last time I checked it was 2017
The/. commit log is from 2003, though.:/
The owner before the owner before the owner was going to sync up with that other site that tried to fork/. and fixed up the code but didn't manage to attract the user base. I'm not being coy, I've legitimately forgotten its odd name - somebody please add it here.
Instead we have half-page ads that make it impossible to interact with the content - one wonders if the editors are all running UBlock Origin and haven't noticed.
It's interesting, because despite Euler's official story about perimeter, the English spelling of 'pie' was very much in use at the time, and as everybody knows, if you hold '3.14' up to a mirror, it spells 'PIE'.
The telcos took billions and billions of dollars of tax money in exchange for upgrades they have no intention of ever providing. Fuck them all. The FCC obviously won't be doing anything now, so it's up to the courts, the only sane branch of government left.
Seriously, if the courts were going to enforce any of this it would have been fifteen years ago. Bless his heart, Bruce Kushnick will not let this go, but the telcos used the government to fleece the "ratepayers" and they have no intention of allowing that government to claw any of it back. Whomever needs to be paid, it's a lot cheaper than building infrastructure.
Meanwhile, regulations prevent any effective competition, so that's as good as you're going to get without an Administrative State revolution.
Well if you want me to be shocked and outraged then you need to show me them using them against Americans.
Are you going to need a smoking gun before you believe the journalists who are reporting that they each have several intelligence sources confirming that the CIA is using it against domestic targets?
The trouble with not believing that bombs are falling until you see a smoking crater is that sometimes you're at the bottom of one.
^ this guy gets it. Security is primarily applied economics; cryptography is one tool employed in the Spy vs. Spy game, but you better not bet your life on your crypto's implementation being attack-proof. Yeah, they probably know about holes in e.g. Android FDE but it's so damn easy to just text you a bogus.mp4 and 0wn your device that there's no reason to spend the time attacking your FDE.
I did see one design for a commercial passenger jet with ejectable modules for all passengers. A ticket in something like that from NY to LA would run about 50 thousand dollars.
Don't do it individually, put the whole cabin on parachutes.
Is there an implicit "for cheap" at the end there? Because lots of old guys are frequently bellyaching here about how after age 40/50 they can't get any work (and one presumes they know the ropes by then).
It's still going to be a few years. Right now, you can't even access the DOM from Webassembly.
I can code in JS, assembly, C*, html*, and even I wouldn't want to access the DOM from WebAssembly. Put the tight CPU stuff in WA and keep the majority of the high-level code in JS or if some kind of miracle happens and Rust becomes a better web app platform, something like that (unless there's a miracle and perl6 becomes relevant). The extant JIT's should be fine for high-level code, and if the VM team wants to leverage WA more, fine, but that's an implemenation detail I probably don't want to think much about.
Yeah if you're crazy enough create a image editor or a game that runs only in a webbrowser then maybe you would consider this. But no it won't replace Javascript.
I'm always amused that the "Flash haters" at Google/Chrome still insist that you run the YouTube video editor under Flash. Heck, I can barely get a WebM file from YouTube some days.
Anyway, replacing Flash for use cases that aren't video streaming would be a welcome use of WebM. Possibly that's what they're waiting for and the reason they're still pushing Flash on us in 2017.
Right -- anybody who was waiting for the ETF now has to decide if they want to invest in Bitcoin or not. If they do, the price of a BTC goes up.
Really, though - I can see an ETF for an index fund or gold even (I realize the major gold ETF's are a sham, but in theory). It's a pain in the neck to buy and sell actual gold in quantity because it's frikkin' heavy. Same for any other industrial commodity. But the difficulty of buying a substantial volume of bitcoin is far, far, lower, so the ETF makes even less sense.
Granted, it could be integrated into trading software the way other commodities are, but actually storing bitcoin is a matter of keeping your paper wallet safe.
Rare earth metal commodities is something that can easily be manipulated thanks to the fact that China holds the majority of the rare earth metal mining operations. If the owner of the Chinese mines wanted, they could manipulate the metals' value with ease. The SEC made a sane and calculated decision here.
Who authorized the payment in full on a project that wasn't delivered? Why are they trying to claw back money that should never have been payed? Were the people responsible for contracts stupid or corrupt? In either case, what happened to them?
If they go by boat how would they be packed to minimize the chance of a catastrophe en route?
Maybe there's an autonomous drone ship available for a jaunt down under.
n/t: if/. is so desparate for ad revenue that they're willing to make the site nearly unusable with these half-page ads, I guess we're counting the days to a parked page. Sad, really.
The real dirt is that the CIA did everything regarding "hacking the elections" that they then blamed on the Russians, to support their would-be sugar mama. That's an attempted coup d'eta. We're at the "means, motive, and opportunity" stage - next up are investigations, prosecutions, and probably, knowing Trump's impetuousness, hangings.
Almost nobody will shop at RadioShack anymore because in the 90's they decided that annoying people at the cash registers to buy extra batteries and later to try to switch their cell phone plans was worth alienating the customer base, just as the Internet was coming along to offer people other options.
Meanwhile, retailers like Walmart picked up most of their commonly useful inventory and made mint while not harassing customers with upsales. Apparently Walmart isn't driven by quarter-on-quarter-driven MBA's.
On the other hand, they probably left with big bonuses and nobody knows who they were, and two bankruptcies later they're not black-balled.
The reason, of course, is services and the possible profit from them.
Your paranoia has crossed over into pure nonsense here. Anyway, WebAssembly is easier to audit for security problems than a JavaScript JIT, so as JavaScript moves to WebAssembly as a backend you'll have even better security.
I will not be using a browser with WebAssembly built in. .:rolleyes:
they're charged with keeping America safe. THAT'S their job.
C'mon, now, you're not in seventh grade. Their job is to project American power for the benefit of the ruling class, the Federal Reserve system, and the military-industrial complex.
It's so obvious by now that the onus to produce evidence is now on those who would claim otherwise.
Olive Garden is cheap industrial Italian food. You went to a mass-market corporate restaurant and got treated like you went to a mass-market corporate restaurant. It ought to be expected, like the sodium.
After a while the virtualization code I was working with just stopped being maintained upstream for AMD because the value proposition was just so ludicrously bad vs. Intel and nobody was using them.
Has AMD, perchance, contributed code to KVM or Xen to get a running start or are we going to be waiting until after Intel's next chip rev. before Zen stands a chance again in this arena (at which point, it's already lost its advantage)?

It's $100 cheaper than the Windows version of the same laptop.
And $1000 more than a great laptop where you might have to Google for module settings.
