I don't think people are asking for a FB boycott over "dishonesty", despite the way it is being framed. You literally have organisations like Sleeping Giants whose mission is to convince sponsors to dump sites that host conservative content. The current Facebook boycott is Stop Hate For Profit and is focused around hate speech (using the definition of hate speech as defined by the left).

I lean quite heavily left, I'm Australian and my political compass aligns me the most with our Greens party. I follow news sources from both the left and the right and it seems very obvious that the left is asking for some double standards. Twitter is celebrated online for being woke yet no one sees anything wrong with them for allowing people to commit assault and share it on their platform [1]. I actually find the current US political climate quite worrying, one side is being completely silenced in the mainstream media. I think Democracy needs to have multiple voices.

I hope people turn out and vote in the coming US elections because I suspect the Trump voters are going to come in huge numbers. The conditions of one side being silenced are very similar to 2016. ALL the polls showed a landslide for Hillary because people were too scared to admit they were going to vote Trump.

Another article blaming something on cis white men being sexist and racist. Men don't dislike astrology because women like it. Men dislike astrology because men like to solve problems and astrology just says "oh it's because of the moons alignment". When listening to someones problems, women will give emotional support while men will give practical support. Astrology is firmly in the emotional support realm and men don't understand it or why people would use it. So they think it's dumb.

Their app got rejected so they've decided to play identity politics to get the decision overturned.

NOTE: I've used stereotypes of men and women here. I realise there are outliers on both sides.

Isn't multiplication of two integers with length n O(nlog(n)) with the Harvey-Hoevan algorithm? Is the limitation our 64-bit computers?

Most countries take the stance that protecting their people, even at the cost of impeding on personal freedoms, is a good thing.

I spent 5 years living as a minority white person in a majority Middle Eastern area (in a western country). My take on it is as follows:

Muslims in the west are literally like white Christians. Some are culturally Muslim but don't practise the faith. Others are strongly Muslim. Some are amazing people and some are bigoted. Among the religious ones you have the ones who use religion to do good and those who use it as an excuse to be bigots. It's the exact same I see in white people.

I would take my son, aged 3-4, into a really dodgy barber (this whole area is low socioeconomic). Drug dealers and unsavoury characters. My little blond-haired, blue-eyed son and me in a sea of black hair. And we would be treated exactly as what we were, a father taking his son for a haircut. They would give him a lollipop and call my daughter over to make sure she got one too.

If a teenager has managed to gather personal data on 10000 people, including sensitive data, then they damn well should be able to protect it.

I'm not in the US, however with the global internet breaches often affect people from many countries.

I doubt they have sufficient logging if they didn't have any security on their data.

Exposing sensitive information this stupidly should be criminally negligent. People use these platforms under an implicit trust arrangement.

I suspect if I made myself look like a successful trader and told people I was a trader then they would expect I'm a trader and I can be invested with. When I lose them money I'd be charged with some serious crimes for pretending to be a trader.

Maybe I'm getting old but I'm seeing some very troubling signs with the current social climate. Cancelling shows, destroying monuments, getting people removed from their jobs, and getting people silenced on social media all due to not agreeing with their worldview. It seems very much like the Nazi students burning books that didn't agree with their worldview.

I agree that black people have been dealt a really shit hand in the US and it's going to take something to really shake the system to improve the lives of the average black person. Globalisation has stripped away a lot of the good jobs they could work with a lower socioeconomic background. Relaxed gun laws puts the police on edge, who react with strong tactics. No good social safety nets for income or health. It's going to take a huge amount of funding and time to drag the community out of the poverty cycle and a lot of people seem unwilling to spend this money.

In which time period were the political leaders' drawn from the nation as a whole, and had a smaller cultural and ethnic divide between the wealthy and poor?

According to wikipedia, 60% of the African-American senators EVER have been elected in the past 20 years. 40% of the total in the past 10 years. A significant proportion of the total African-Americans to have been in the house of reps are currently serving. Similar statistics for Latinos and Asian-Americans.

Most western nations came from the British system, which literally had people born as noble.

San Fran also has over 8k homeless in a population of 800k. The overall homeless rate in France is about 5x lower per capita.

My opinion on paying taxes changed drastically after I visited the USA 2 years ago (San Fran, LA, Vegas). I was absolutely shocked by the amount of poverty I saw and I had never realised that America had such a drastically different culture to Australia.

The downside of vaping is that the flavoured vape products are being marketed at teenagers. IIRC smoking was at a very low rate for youth after decades of improvements and then vaping has seen nicotine use rise in this demographic.

Is obfuscation a type of authorisation? If you knowingly exploited a vulnerability to access a non-standard URL then it's pretty obvious you shouldn't have been there. This isn't you navigating to a websites home page, the information I've found reads the following for CVE-2008-6541:

>Access Complexity Medium (The access conditions are somewhat specialized. Some preconditions must be satistified to exploit)

They could hold onto the equity themselves, which is giving it to all Americans.

Thank you for sharing. Your comment has highlighted the importance of making sure my household is prepared

Look at the statistics on phishing, it's remarkably effective.

I disagree that you are golden if you only have one scandal every few years. You can have zero scandals and still be screwed. If a company has its valuable IP stolen and is then undercut by competitors that never had to spend on R&D it can be a significant loss of revenue.

I also disagree that the risk of an attack is low. An F500 company is the sort of target that can end up in the sights of many different threat actors.

I'm assuming the poster is searching for videos in a niche IT area. Whenever I'm digging into a computer science topic I get tons of Indian videos. They're in English with a thick Indian accent. If you are able to understand the accent they're actually decent videos.

Don't give people ideas

I googled "number of bacteria in the world" and the number is around 5 * 10^30. I mean, there are 7 * 10^9 humans and each human has trillions (10^12) bacteria, so the human population + bacteria in the body totals over 20^22 living organisms alone.

The building blocks of life are far more complicated and are being run with enormous populations. 1m generations are less than 100 years for a lot of bacteria and the population they are working with is stupidly large.

I just tested one of my GA's and it's solving a logic problem with 3k pop, 30 children per gen, in 1-2k generations. If I make it 300 children per gen it solves in 150-300 generations. 1500 children is solving in 30-50 generatikons. Now imagine 5 x 10^30 pop with 10^30 children per generation, over millions of generations.

As far as I can see, the keyboard in that article doesn't have {} either. That's going to make a number of languages difficult to program with.

Do you have a link to that legislation? I'm salaried in Australia and I've never heard of it.

Very similar to the attitude I take with sports betting (legal in my country). You don't bet on who you think will win, you bet on who is paying odds that don't reflect your view on the event. I only bet relatively small sums and I don't bet very often (since I don't often find odds that seem poorly priced) but I've won way more than I've lost.

How does Walmart come into this? I've never even seen a Walmart in my life. I suspect the difference here is due to you being American, everything is capitalistic there. In Australia, the LAW actually allows for cultural exchange of Au Pairs. The recommendation is that an average Au Pair works 30 hours per week at the minimum wage but that the host family subtracts $350 per week for room and board (reasonable costs in Australia) and that pocket money is $200-250. So the Au Pair has in fact been paid the minimum wage.

If you cannot fathom how a human could host another human and you can only see transactions then I feel sorry for you.

Minimum wage here is $19.49/hour. What you're suggesting is:

* Pay $739 weekly * Provide all food, plus cook for them * Provide their own room in the accommodation * Cover the costs of all their utilities (water, gas, electricity) * Take them on all holidays, etc

I know your suggestion means well but it would mean Au Pairs cease to exist. It's lose-lose. The Au Pairs here aren't coming for a poor nation to earn money from back home, they're coming over for cultural exchange. For example, my sisters Au Pair was from a wealthy German family. Maybe it's different in other countries, the article talks about Columbian Au Pairs.

The current situation is an Au Pair is included as part of the family. If you're now paying minimum wage, is the Au Pair now an employee who is treated as an employee or do they still get treated as a family member?

My sister had an Au Pair for a year. The Au Pair was taken on holidays with them and participated heavily on family life. Even now, years later, they still mail Christmas presents between Germany and Australia. The deal was basically that the Au Pair is included as a family member in every aspect. I feel that once you attach a minimum wage then the Au Pair is now an employee. I also see the opposite argument, where some families are abusing the system to get a low-cost worker.

Do you need to pay minimum wage and still feed them the good food that the family is eating or you can feed them the cheaper employee food? These questions become relevant now.

I'm much more concerned about how we keep that portion of the population entertained enough to not cause trouble.
