FYI, I was still blocked by WaPo's paywall after the first article, even though this extension is showing itself as on in Chrome (tried restart to no avail).

I saw a heartbreaking YouTube mini-documentary on Facebook moderators.[1] The American workers seem to get the "lighter" flags like animal abuse, which is more than enough to cause trauma with daily exposure. I shudder to think what the offshore moderators go through when dealing with human/child abuse flags.
In my view, Facebook clearly wants this to be a temporary evil, so they can use the data from human moderators as a training set for automated ML-based moderation. But I wonder how long people will have to endure this for those models to reach an acceptable efficacy.

I'm actually trying to learn compute shaders specifically. I've followed all the tuts and guides I could find and have made some neat things, but I still want more depth than I can just find through Google. If anyone has any recs for further study I'd really appreciate it :)

It's In-Q-Tel, not Q-Tel. I actually interviewed there a few years back. Very cool company.

Can you please elaborate as to what causes that hidden power structure (i.e. what goes wrong)? In your opinion, is the idea of flat management inherently flawed or is it just hard to execute? Curious to hear your thoughts as someone who's actually tried it.

I did a quick google and it appears so. :/

WOW. Unbelievable. Who the hell hires these people? They make you go through half a dozen technicals if you're going to be an engineer, but they let the homeless guy across the street run their PR department?

This can't be real... right? God the advertising industry is so much worse than I thought.

I am so, so confused by Uber's marketing video. I feel like its satirical. I'd love to hear if anyone has the inside scoop of how it was made/ how Uber employees feel about it.

Do you guys use a recruiting agency called Adeptima? I got an email from someone there today claiming to be recruiting for you and it seemed a little sketchy.

Woah, can you expand on this? Are you a contractor or a government employee? What makes it laid back? Are the deadlines just more reasonable?
This is great timing. After looking at YaCy for my Synology NAS a few week ago, I looked at some alternatives. I like the look of LinkAce, though it seems to be less popular and I haven't found much on how a setup on a Synology NAS works.
I'd love some advice, I have a massive number of bookmarks across dozens of folders. Something like this is exactly what I'm looking for.
