>Including the violence by civilians (whether we call them protestors or not), the leftist protests did lead to a lot more bloodshed. I misunderstood and thought you were talking solely about the police.

I was. Most of the victims during the protests were black. You cherry picked quotes from the article to support your views.

The reality is that a peaceful BLM protest was dispersed with greater violence so that the president can pose across the street with a bible, than a mob attacking and storming the Capitol.
It's only a crime if you get caught.

Anyway, I know lotteries and gambling are regulated, what about e.g. radio or charity raffles?
Another good allegory is that, in the US Air Force, the flight crews considered most dangerous are those with the highest collective rank. Sure, the young crews are learning but the old ones still think they know it all and have often forgotten critical details.
I agree it would require an incredible amount of evidence to convince me that this actually would speed up the development of self driving. Just saying that I'm not opposed to the lord farquad method if it helps.
Intel Linux support is usually pretty good so that Linux option is certainly appealing.
Or this has nothing to do with "ideology". And it's meant to reduce the unfairness in tax rates between individuals (who pay taxes on worldwide income) and corporations (which do not).
I don't know what we get out of the U.S. border situation. People who have to commute between the countries hate it. People who work these posts probably hate it. Trucking industries hate it. Tourists hate it. And yet, based on what I see in my city, the cartel has no issues getting drugs in for cheap enough that someone with no income can be high for every waking hour of their life. I just want to be able to go to Tijuana without the traffic jam. I didn't ask for this damn wall (well, sturdy fence, really).
Politics != government.

"Politics (from Greek: Πολιτικά, politiká, 'affairs of the cities') is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations between individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status. The branch of social science that studies politics is referred to as political science. "

Use to be geographical isolation was the biggest facilitator of cultural differentiation, but now it's isolation from original, accreddited information sources, the vines of information mediation are so thick and coiling, all competing for the sun of attention spans, the internet has become a jungle where every 100 feet its a brand new culture/language.
They usually signify Korean people themselves.
That doesn’t seem too bad. The notch is not meant to hold interactive elements.
I'd be a Tesla customer if the price was lower. Tesla gets all the love for this approach, yet small/niche electronics maker doesn't.
I participated in this bounty, it was a blast.

The team at Dolthub is great and extremely accessible on their discord. These bounties seem like a great use case for their tech.

If you're into git and data (like I am) then these bounties are just awesome.
If you read my comment carefully, I didn't actually say that the article labeled him, I merely asked some questions and posed a hypothetical. And yet you drew an inference about my meaning beyond what my literal words were.

You could call this sloppy reading, but I think the truth is that a writer can clearly communicate their intended conclusion without stating it directly. Which is just what Metz did.
Consider a simplified tax system:

- 10% of the first $100,000

- 20% of the remaining

- The standard deduction is $20,000

Now consider three incomes: $40,000, $80,000 and $200,000.

1. $40,000 is $4,000 (10%) tax to $2,000 (5%)

2. $80,000 is $8,000 (10%) tax to $6,000 (7.5%)

3. $200,000 is $30,000 (15%) tax to $26,000 (13%)

So on the face of it it seems progressive and would be if it wasn't for the fact that it offsets itemized deductions. Imagine each person above could deduct 25% of their income:

1. No change.

2. No change.

3. $50,000 deduction, which is an additional $30,000 of $6,000 in savings.

So the highest income earners still get itemized deductions and both the standard and itemized deductions are offsetting a marginal higher tax rate.

The point is that the "standard deduction" is (IMHO) dishonest. You can achieve a progressive tax system by... just having a progressive tax system.
Establishing an actual colony on the moon instead of just a temporary outpost will require a huge amount of basic scientific research. This goes way beyond just economics and politics? For example how do we keep people healthy and prevent bone mineral loss and muscle wasting in low gravity? How do we mitigate the effects of increased background radiation? Any real sustainable colony will need people working out on the surface so they can't just hide in underground tunnels.
Imagine you have created a new social media webapp with a few innovative new features not seen elsewhere. Would that spell doom for a now suddenly inferior Facebook/Twitter/etc. Possibly, but the network effect in terms of inertia and critical mass makes that an unlikely proposition.

Moreover, the driving force behind Bitcoin keeping it ahead of the pack so far is the promise of short/medium term profit as an investment vehicle due to the artificial scarcity of its deflationary algorithm. Other cryptocurrencies are better positioned toward forming a long-term solution as a low overhead global decentralized payment platform, but what they offer is more of a collective benefit rather than a strong monetary incentive to any individual backer/investor on an individual level. (Which arguably is just an emergent property of human greed within the regime of unchecked capitalism.)
In Seattle the legal market is about twice the cost of the black market.

Washington State put a ton of regulations in place with a lot of taxes, so it's much cheaper to ignore the legal stores and go medical or unregulated.

Also, the black market offers a lot of services the legal market can't -- like delivery.
Cannabis is currently a schedule 1 drug making it very difficult to legally do medical studies. With that said I have read of a wide variety of medical applications outside of the therapeutic ones often talked about. NORML has a great site covering a lot of the studies:

Well, strains that are high in CBD (rather than THC) tend to be good for pain management and appetite stimulation. IIRC the two best use cases for it are for people going through chemotherapy and people with glaucoma. I agree that the standards of medical necessity are so low as to be meaningless, and whoile there seems to be inexorable movement towards full legalization, the bullshit medical rationalizations slow that down and IMHO make it harder to get funding for more rigorous clinical studies on its efficacy for pain management and other likely conditions.

Medical marijuana is primarily used as a front for legalized marijuana. You can go to a doctor and pay ~$50 upfront before getting prescribed your card for some reason that doesn't even really matter. It's pretty silly.
Moreover, it's this perception of an urgent threat that governments worldwide use to justify an unprecedented curtailment of civil rights (privacy, presumption of innocence, etc.).

Exactly right. But why? Is this curtailment of civil rights an emergent behavior, or is it on purpose? Back in 2001, I was pretty shocked at how fast the PATRIOT Act went into law: it was signed Oct 26, 2001. Was there some kind of potential candidate law lying around, ready to be put into the hopper for Congressional approval? If so, who wrote it, and why?
Good idea! But 3-6 shots were not enough for me. Thanks for the feedback!
70% of the federal budget is mandatory spending on entitlement programs or interest costs. These programs are extremely efficient--over 99% of Social Security and 96% of Medicare dollars go to beneficiaries.

So what's "unneeded spending?" Voters have decided that our country should have a safety net. As long as that's true, even if you get rid of all other spending you'd save at most 30% of the tax bill. Still a huge need to think of better ways to raise the remaining 70%.
The problem with ideas like is that the amount of tax raised is small compared to what is collected in income taxes. It's a fantasy to think we can replace an income tax of up to 60% of income with an indirect consumption tax.

An Ex'Tax also ends up being regressive like consumption taxes. The poor spend a lot larger percentage of their income on consumption (which are what those resources end up going into) then the rich do.
the real danger with the NSA is Moore's Law. you can't do a greal deal with this data at the point of collection, but collecting it for a few decades, while Moore's Law ramps up, will put you in an incredible position of overwhelming power at the end of that time.

look at how J. Edgar Hoover obsessively spied on American politicians, and imagine him doing so in 2035, backed up with decades of data, plus computing power as superior to ours as ours is superior to 1995's.
That sucks dude, but it's also hilarious. I can't believe you would try to make business decisions while being high. I can imagine going to work high as shit, for starters, I would forget everyone's names, and then I would probably forget everything else too. But I can definitely imagine how you could talk yourself into it especially if you are self employed.

I think hearing these stories is really interesting, since I can relate them to my own experience. Thanks for sharing! I guess I should start working on getting that "edge" back.
> Take owning a car as an example (UK perspective here; may differ in the US). With some effort, you can structure your life in such a way that one is not necessary and therefore get by via cycling/public transport.

This is extremely tin-eared and utterly ignores the realities of farmers and ranchers. You know, the people who grow the food which the rest of the country relies on.

Just blandly stating that cars aren't necessary is wrong.
I suspect that the best way to tackle this problem is to treat "learning to walk" as a reinforcement learning problem. This way you can evaluate actions within each episode rather than waiting until the end of each trial to adjust parameters encoding the walking strategy.

As karpathy suggests below (and he's certainly much more qualified than me), an evolutionary method such as GA's, while apparently fairly effective, could well be wasting valuable information learned in real time through interaction.
I'm glad my position has been instructive!
Great article. The title should reflect that it's from 2013.
I have mixed feelings about the gifs.
> I think that's pretty easy to explain. The change of state in your brain modulates the thing that it both creates and controls (consciousness) state to "feel" pain.

It's certainly not easy to explain. I have no idea what that means. You're basically saying that change of physical state causes pain. Why? Is that some physical law I haven't heard of?

> Consciousness is a emergent property of the incredible complex organ we call a brain. At first it may seem too odd to think that something as incredibly surreal and deep as consciousness can spring forth some arrangement of atoms, atoms identical to those make up the inanimate objects around us, it because less weird when you think about a car just being made up of nuts, bolts, and a bunch of metal, or a space shuttle out of ceramic, composites and what have you. Computers are just made up of transistors, capacitors and the like, and have tremendous capabilities.

The big difference here is that computers or cars are physical concepts, the definition of a car could be that it's a certain arangement of atoms.
Well, my time in Holland was the first time driving outside of North America. I turned right against red signals a few times until I had an European coworker in the car.

Until the parking signs were explained to me, I had assumed these meant no parking except during these times, and that everyone parking in the spot should buy parking permission from the machine.
The coroutine syntax is actually quite nice.
Exactly. If Jeff Bezos starts a new company tomorrow and funds it using only his own wealth with no outside investments, it counts as bootstrapped.

Of course it would be less impressive if someone of Jeff's caliber bootstraps a company, as opposed to a much less wealthy individual. But it would still be bootstrapping in both cases.
"many times I as a human just knew better than the DB about how many rows would be accessed/why/how/when/etc..."

Would you say the primary problem that you have with the planner is a misestimate of the number of rows input/output from a subplan? Or are you encountering other problems, too?
Did anyone list all its requirements?
Reading this and other replies I wonder why no one mentions core.async?
So will it makes its way into browsers?
I don't understand the "key image" cryptography, but I can't fathom how any cryptography, no matter how smart it is, could prevent the user from:

1) Creating a backup of their wallet on disk.

2) Sending their coins somewhere, but not broadcasting the transaction to the network, instead storing it in a file.

3) Restoring from the backup

4) Sending the coins to a different address = double spending them.

5) Broadcasting the transactions in a very close timespan to conduct the double-spend.

The network needs to prevent this by storing, in an non-forge-able fashion such as PoW, which transaction happened first.

How does your system guarantee that?
Independant agencies to police the police can help but more is needed

We have such a organisation here (Aotearoa) to monitor the police. https://www.ipca.govt.nz/

It is mostly captured, policywise, and supports outrages committed by police.

It is a improvement over what there used to be, but not much.

What has made the biggest difference here is a succession of cases where it became undeniable that the police were raping and framing. They have taken shame and attempting to reform themselves, which is a surprise to those of us who over the years had to deal with the bigoted, prejudiced, violent pigs.

There is a lot of opposition within, and without, the police here. Time will tell.
I'm confused by how the percentage doesn't sound as nice. It's about risk vs. reward, raw monetary return doesn't really give you that. Raw profit completely ignores the risk the investor put in initially. I'd rather have the 100x return since I risked a lot less to get get it.
Thanks for writing this.

I've been taking a "break" and am finishing up work on my own project. I got one of these emails from a Google recruiter last week.

I had applied to Google back in 2009, but chickened and canceled the interview after I read about the useless and non-trivial theoretical questions they ask.

After reading this, I think I'll still pass. But for different reasons :).
The vast majority of video views (99%) would be unaffected but that doesn't imply that the vast majority of users wouldn't be since most users are going to view way more than one video.

This title is misleading. Sure, there are development quips here and there, but I don't think it's more than any other language/platform. "Apple puts usability first" would be more appropriate.

Recent news and dissent from developers has been largely around political moves and gestapo tactics to keep its property exactly as it wants it. Consider a number of issues in which it isn't putting its users first

* taking 30% of all subscription fees, effectively a pass-through tax or killer-of-app in some cases (think Pandora)

* not allowing you to pay for digital forms of physical manifestations with in-app purchases (think concert tickets)

* not allowing you to run unauthorized apps even if you sign your life away that you know the risks

What's most sad about the loss of potential is that we never know what we're missing out on because it's too much of a business risk. There are many companies that are still looking at the App store with trepidation - beautiful, useful, life-changing things are inevitably lost (won't come to market through the App Store) and nobody will ever know what they "could" have had. That, in my opinion, is the saddest of all the injustices.

Considering that BB OS10 has an Android Run Time which runs the vast majority of Android Apps whats the point?

I've recently purchased a BlackBerry Passport and i absolutely love the device, I have a OnePlus, Nexus 6, and a MotoG as well and the square screen format and the keyboard just take it home for me.

As far as internet browsing, reading, and light content creation goes the Passport is by far the best phone out there atm. It's also one of the first devices in which BB decided to put not only good but virtually top of the line hardware so you are getting a quad core 801 snapdragon, with 3GB of RAM and 32GB + SD card.

I would wish that the BB market place would actually get some love it looks like the Android market from 2008-9 where 99% of the apps are scam, malware, overpriced shortcut apps, and bible and point me to mecca apps.

Even the "built for BB" apps on the market tend to run worse than their Android versions running in the Android Runtime Environment. And since even Google Services can be ported to BB OS10 there isn't even an issue with apps that require Google Account/Play Services any more.
Please add a stackoverfow icon? As a developer, SO is basically my resume.
Gabriel, I'm delighted to read this comment by you (and that of David Warren) as you folks get this article in a positive light. Look at others bringing in sociopathy and "real dangers".
Do they have any information on the software they used for this livestream?
If you are too successful at something then you are probably too local in your steps/bets - you should make greater steps/bets by risking more in order to increase your overall progress. It is an optimal rule which was mathematically derived for convex functions, see the one-fifth rule at http://ls11-www.cs.tu-dortmund.de/people/beyer/EA-glossary/n.... The ratio itself is problem-dependent but the core idea is beautiful.
To use traits like you would type classes in Haskell, for example to define functors or monads in a general way, you need higher kinded types. Which can kind[oh, what a pun] of be implemented in Rust.

So yes! You can use higher kinded types in rust. Whether you should I will
leave up to you. But it certainly doesn't seem like a very attractive option
for most projects considering the syntactic noise of the implementation, a
typechecker that gets often confused and requires help, as well as error
messages that don't make much sense. Especially the last is a shame since
extremely helpful error messages is what rust is known for, and I
wholeheartedly agree (under normal circumstances).

https://hugopeters.me/posts/14/

Yes, But Why, Really?
Because sometimes one just gets homesick for Haskell and wants to implement
the Functor hierarchy. You'll find this in the higher-cat crate. It's not
really very suited for writing good Rust code, but it makes Haskell
programmers feel happy and it has a lot of funny words.

This is such a great news. We've been using Black in the company that I work for the past 3 years or so and it was a game changer for code reviews. Hopefully other open source Python/Django projects will follow the lead.
I’d noticed this owing to Hadley Wickham’s R books - all fittingly feature birds native to New Zealand.
Uh so is your take "don't do broad refactors ever?"

Beyond `.git-blame-ignore-revs` (which is neat and TIL), in GitHub's web viewer, if you find the line you're interested in and see that the most recent PR is a reformat, you click the "view blame prior to this change" button. I think most blame viewers do (or at least should) have a feature like this.

This reply only serves to make it seem even more likely that you didn't read the article, or at least completely failed to understand it.
Touché! Although if you are referring to the the great housing bubble, I think a big contributing factor was financial instruments and practices which enabled more "bubbly" behavior. Giving people access to mortgages that historically would likely not have been given, and in hindsight absolutely should not have been given, injected a ton of cheap and easy money into the system. The more degrees of indirection, the more unhinged it can become.

Concrete to abstract:

- make a house yourself

- buy a house with cash

- buy a house with a mortgage with a large down payment (low risk, easy to back)

- buy a house with good credit and less down payment but PPI (riskier, the bank needs to hedge more)

- no down payment, less than stellar credit, more house than you need, etc.

The latter is super high risk and normally would not be underwritten. But someone figured out you could bundle the risk in order to distribute that risk, surely only a collapse of the whole housing market could make them massively default! Oops.
That seemed more like a “I quit, you can’t fire me!” action and not a coordinated movement.
IMO the "correct" way to handle this is with vanilla vim's built-in macros. Find the next match, record a macro making the edit you want, then find the next match and finish recording the macro. The macro starts with the cursor over the match you want, the edit can be more complex than a simple replacement, and skipping is simply a matter of pressing `n` instead of `@@`.

Vim can also take a command that yields a list of filenames as a launch parameter via something like `vim $(ag -l target_string)`, letting you go through each file with a `:n`, letting you complete large refactors surprisingly quickly.
NFT is a glorified receipt. Some people collect receipts: like ticket-stubs for world series games or concerts, but first you have to convince the MLB or Ticketmaster to sell tickets on Ethereum, which is a big ask.
Apple doesn't own the device in question and the FBI wasn't asking for Apple to hand over information in their custody.

No, it proves fixed function hardware outperforms general purpose hardware for the task it's made for. Without the fixed function hardware the GPU is worse suited for the task than a general purpose CPU.
