It seems risky. What if they hired you then fired you 2 months later, paid you the 35% revenue share and that's that.

Not saying it will go that way but the risk is there.
> I use Signal on a phone and a laptop, switching between the two frequently throughout the day and see the same conversations on both.

Frequently messages aren't even synchronised between those two or they're out of order. Also, the desktop client itself is a bit of a joke.
I'd caution against the non-profit direction! Some nonprofits that are inefficient aren't because they haven't discovered means to optimize processes or systems, but rather because of cultural issues...In addition to this add the low pay, plus lots of constant, hot air talk about whatever space the nonprofit operates in. I'm sure there are nonprofits out there that are ideal, and still have a need for expertise that you might bring them...but much like all other types of businesses, there are also many crappy nonprofit orgs out there. (I'm not referring to nefarious ones, merely ones that are run poorly and would not be great places to work at per your description above.)
I ran a small infosec shop for ~15 years and worked in many industries along the way. An IT job at a university was the first thing that came to mind. Not necessarily because the job is easy, because that's not always the case, but because the environments that I've been involved with at least are really chill and you stay in touch with young folks.
Threema does not have federation, therefore it suffers from the same fundamental design flaw which allows Signal to abuse its position like this.
PGP has its own problems. It's time for it to die.

Ugh, I hate PGP so much. It's keeping people from interacting securely for over two decades
The UI is bad, integration is hard, the chain of trust (it never was a web) is broken, the CLI tools are annoying... but hey let's do crypto parties with other nerds and exchange passports.
> And are you 100% certain they are not monetizable?

I learned that once I try to monetize my hobbies, there’s a very real risk that they become stressful and no longer fun and invigorating. Sometimes it’s best to keep hobbies as just hobbies.

Or, at least, make sure you have some hobbies that will only ever stay hobbies. Nothing wrong with trying to do monetize something you love, just don’t let it be the only thing you love to do, so you still have something when you have a stressful day doing the first thing.
But such systems are possible and aren't necessarily fraud. You'd prefer that reality be other than what it is. I get it. You don't want these systems to work. But they do, and a noble lie saying they don't is still a lie.

Do you really not think it's possible to read emotions from facial expressions? If humans can do it, a machine can do it better. The claim from the article that machines can't read emotions is pure motivated reasoning so distorted and disconnected from reality that it amounts to fraud. It's obviously the case that faces convey emotions. Look around.
Phone companies also have terms of service. Here’s AT&T’s:

> AT&T may immediately terminate all or a portion of your Service or reduce or suspend Service, without notice, for conduct that AT&T believes (a) is illegal, fraudulent, harassing, abusive, or intended to intimidate or threaten; (b) constitutes a violation of any law, regulation, or tariff (including, without applicable policies or guidelines (including the Acceptable Use Policy), and AT&T may refer such use to law enforcement authorities without notice to you.
This is the problem in a nutshell.

People saying there "has to be" something, and "anyone who doesn't see it is a moron".

While offering nothing even resembling proof.

It's just, at best, being charitable, "a hunch".
>AMD was struggling almost bankrupt until last year or two

a year or two ago AMD use Global foundries. a year or two ago they switched to TSMC. AMD should ditch Global foundries a long time ago.
I mean with even the briefest of searches you can find numerous (maybe doctored) photos alleging various crimes around this election. Yes maybe they were very narrow edge cases and maybe the photos were doctored, but there's easy enough to find "evidence". But we don't know if that's actually evidence or not, because it hasn't been heard in a court (they'd have to commit perjury to try to submit fraudulent evidence).
It's a valid question, and brings up that whole question of "Where do you draw the line?"

We've already allowed the government to define what's legal and what isn't - which obviously differ from country to country.

Now it seems private companies also want to weigh in and define their own kinds of "allowed and not allowed".

I honestly do think we're damned if we do (allow FB to censor) and we're dammed if we don't (allow FB to censor)
If that platform mentions in its TOS that "We hereby reserve the right to rescind your access to the platform if you talk shit about our corporate overlords or favorite political party", then I have no problem with it.

This is not the case today.
What I have observed today on social media is that censorship has been ramped up dramatically all in one day. And I don't mean Trump. I'm seeing even posts from conservative accounts that unequivocally condemned the capitol raid getting deleted, and entire accounts being deleted with no notice. This to me feels a lot like a digital political genocide, the culmination of an ascendant group with significant power (progressive left allied with tech giants) suddenly unleashing it upon their political enemies.

I dislike Trump, but the claim that he has incited violence is without evidence, and we see that in Twitter's blog post announcing his ban (https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2020/suspensio...), since it offers no hard evidence and only subjective leaps of the imagination. The call to delete his account because of the current political context is unacceptable, and it is also total hypocrisy given that this logic was not applied when BLM riots caused billions of Dollars in damage in the last year. It's also hypocritical given that nearly identical incidents (riots at the capitol) have taken place several times before and not resulted in this type of coverage or censorship. Several of these incidents are in the past few years, such as the climate riot which AOC participated in (https://theintercept.com/2018/11/13/alexandria-ocasio-cortez...) or the riots concerning Brett Kavanaugh's appointment (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/oct/04/kavanaugh-su...) or the 600-person riot protesting immigration law (https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/womens-march-protesters-call...).

This isn't about riots. It isn't about violence. It isn't about a coup. It isn't about Trump even. It is only about big tech bowing down to the new incoming leaders who control their fates, and with the changing of the guard, they have become comfortable showing who they are - powerful partisans who will put the power of their monopolies to work if left unimpeded. That should scare anyone who knows where this path leads based on history. I'm genuinely worried, because as always, these changes come in response to an event that scared people and now they are naively welcoming authoritarian changes.
I imagine that future society will develop some system of "truth certification"; networks distributing "seals of approval / authenticity".

It may become a very different world psychologically - just like the medieval people would be psychologically, largely incomprehensible to us.
Yeah, piling layers of crap on top of something because you don't understand it is not going to end well.
were you reading the tipping point?
"How do they handle this now with writers and painters who imitate other artists?" -> not a derivative work as long as no specific protected elements were copied.

He mentioned the business cycle, did he? Valuation matters.

The worst 40-year period in that chart starts in the late seventies and at that time valuation was the cheapest since the depression. That was around the bottom, no need to wait 10 years.
The Great Translator Invasion of 2003 created a situation where the portions of the band where community radio, run by and for residents (local information, for local people), was instead occupied by "translators," replicating signals from religious broadcast networks like Moody.

Between that and NPR behaving as if they were about to be blasted off the air by third adjacent-channel interference from tiny station with pitiful transmitters, it is very difficult to come up with situations where the band is being used as promised.

I am not surprised that pirate radio is still a thing, given this kind of outcome.
My reading of the article is that it happened, as they say, "slowly and then all at once."

Not dissimilar from the hollowing out of rural America today. People keep on going, assuming that things will either stay stable or turn around at some point. Meanwhile everything keeps on at roughly the same trajectory of the people hanging on getting older and older, and the young people moving on to greener pastures.

And then one day you realize that there isn't really anything left.
My father once asked for my help because his computer (Windows, either 2000 or XP) told him he was doing something "illegal" and he was worried he was breaking the law.

China is not known for its liberal Internet policies.
I also like how the backpropagation section starts out by immediately talking about how it is really just chain rule application.

The backwards-moving pattern of "backpropagation" is really just a side-effect of the derivative chain rule application order, but a lot of intro materials treat backprop as if it is some fancy thing specially-designed for neural nets. I suppose "compute the gradient of this function using basic vector calculus" just isn't sexy enough. I complain mostly because it took me a while to figure out whether backprop was exactly the same as gradient descent, or if there were subtle differences.
You can read about the basic architecture and concepts of git in 2 hours. It's not that complicated.

You may need more than those 2 hours to really digest and understand everything, and see how it plays out in practise. But after the first 2 hours you should be ready to use git. (Actually you should be using git, because how else are you going to learn?)
Well I'd argue he has been quite clear over the years as to his values and his aims.

Even if we, perhaps, can't say with absolute certainty his thoughts, I suspect there is plenty enough evidence to show that:

They want hundreds of thousands of decent or even mediocre or crappy apps.

That's perhaps because all these kernels were written before C++ exists? The first C++ standard is from 1998, and stable STL/C++ support is even more recent.

he'll never have an answering machine either. nor did we when I was a kid. I seem to recall the phone just ringing and ringing and you had to call back again and again to reach someone. and you never knew who was calling when you picked up the phone
Based on history. There have been several known exploits that have been exploited where a Windows Update patch has been available for months, and admins didn't update.

Now, take it a step further and now you have an exploit where is no Windows Update package, but each server has to be manually updated following a procedure from a webpage.

This is a no-brainer to me. Of course if you're looking for double-blind randomized control studies to prove this, well I'm afraid you're in the wrong field.
Shameless plug here - I'm Todd Crosland, one of the co-founders of http://seedequity.com, and we are deeply interested in solving these information asymmetry issues, risks, and cap table problems mentioned here. We'd be very interested in getting feedback from any of you about our process and are always seeking better ways to reduce these risks.

We are a registered broker-dealer with the SEC, which means that we have extremely high compliance requirements for advertising, employee licensing, bad-actor background checks, data security, audits, and more. We try to go the extra mile with our background checks, rejecting founders and investors with backgrounds with any hint of questionable behavior, even if they haven't broken any securities laws. Our regulations require us to share disclosure documents, which describe the risks faced by each company, allowing investors to have a balanced view of each offering.

From what I can tell spending time in Silicon Valley over the years, it appears that some of the discouraging wealth disparity there exists because a select group of employees and investors has had access to equity in great companies, while the rest of the population is shut out. With the SEC's carefully crafted protections in place for non-accredited investors, hopefully more small-time investors will have access to high quality, medium to pre-IPO -sized companies. If such companies are willing to accept many non-accredited investors in Reg A+ offerings, they will need a regulated entity, like a broker-dealer, to help them.

In any case, I'd be grateful to hear your feedback. You can reach me at crosland at seedequity dot com.

> To minimize the effect of an account being disabled on Google Cloud resources, we recommend that you add more than one owner to all resources. As long as there is at least one active owner, GCP resources will not be suspended due to the one of the owners being disabled.

When even Google themselves is recommending gaming their system since they can't guarantee it won't screw you over, that should be a warning sign.
Your claims are suspicious. A company cannot require you to have internet access to supply you a W-2 tax form. You choose to keep your healthcare documents in some format that requires Chrome? That seems very very strange. Your doctor won't talk to you in person or on the telephone? Again, strange.

You are not forced into any of these things. You choose them as a matter of convenience, cost-savings, or some other reason. You have your reasons, but it is highly unlikely that you don't have a choice.

The choices you have purportedly made have allowed others to make poor choices with little consequence. With less effort than it took to install Chrome, you could have asked for a paper copy of your W-2. That would have put the pain of a bad decision back upstream where it belongs.

> The more of this functionality that they break, the more often I need to use Chrome

From context, "they" would refer to the party that breaks functionality. From the sentence above, I take that to be "Google for turning the world into a sorry state." Your response to this is to "need to use Chrome." Your choices seem irrational to me.

But again, they are your choices and you do have them.
Ha ha those subs merely need to name a target and job done, the shorters will self squeeze.
There's definitely still pork. I mean, look at how many pet projects were included in Covid relief funding. Pork is the idea of stuffing an unrelated project to benefit your local district or state (and thus, the politician's reelection chances) into a bigger bill that is unrelated to that expense. Like the most famous one was the Alaskan "bridge to nowhere" that would have cost $400 million: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravina_Island_Bridge
The Fed is completely under the US government's control. Congress created it by passing a law, and could pass another law to restructure it if they ever wanted to. The President fills the Board of Governors who run it with his chosen nominees, and can remove and replace them at will. How much more "jurisdiction" do you want?
Thiel believes that rent seeking monopolies are desirable and necessary to enable innovation. He's plainly wrong about that as a mater of economic science. Lockhead's use of regulatory capture to extract as much money as possible is directly in line with how Thiel thinks business should be done.
We as a species were sending stuff to Mars and to Venus (which imho is a lot more interesting than Mars) back in the '70s and '80s, not that much novelty in recent events (even though I must admit the helicopter gimmick was interesting, until the novelty very quickly worn off, that is).

3) Added a link to setup a wallet and explained that users can buy LTC with a credit card. I don't know about regular card transactions. It doesn't compromise the creator's anonymity but affects the backer's anonymity. I'm not excited about hooking into Stripe.
Is that a legal definition?
> Free market ignores need and just exploits want.

No, free market relies on the person with the need/want to decide which is which. And the person then takes the consequences of their choice.

> Regulation ensures those in need receive it.

No, regulation ensures that the people making life and death decisions about what is a "need" and what is just a "want" are unelected bureaucrats with no personal stake in the outcome, instead of the people who will actually suffer the consequences.
Hopefully 0-10 help illuminate what I’m talking about.

I think 11 and 12 point to masks being a good idea. The graphs you linked ignore population density and seasonal increases in transmission of viruses. An increase after a mask mandate isn’t proof that the mandate had no impact.

I actually agree with you that this is not actually a remote experiment.

But -- and I feel like I'm alone in this -- my personal observation is that even for teams that knew each other before full time WFH I've noticed the teams _mostly_ are not doing new and challenging projects. There's a ton of work and small iterating possible in any company, but I notice all the challenging projects have been punted - or are moving very slowly.

My personal conclusion is that remote work does not, in fact, work well, at least for some types of projects. I can totally see UI-heavy stuff working out, for example, but not embedded or high complexity projects.
They do a little study in section 4.1 comparing batchnorm to adaptive gradient clipping for resnets over a range of hyperparameters, and they also compare perf to batchnorm versions in table 6. The results indicate AGC does give a real boost over batchnorm

They do a bunch of manual hyperparameter tuning that seems necessary to get the state of the art results, from my reading it doesn’t seem like they actually used NAS. Just that the baseline they compare to was found with NAS
> - Make the device use an ACME server to provision its certificate. The device must be publicly accessible so the ACME server can reach it.

Not really. The most common challenge is DNS which doesn't require the ACME servers to be able to connect to the subject via HTTPs.

Probably the gold standard for how to do this is how Plex implemented it: https://blog.filippo.io/how-plex-is-doing-https-for-all-its-...

Not exactly trivial but definitely not impossible.
I don't think that will work on an end-user device though, right?
I never said the would be hurting for business, so I'm not sure how that's relevant.

Macbook is the one I bought to side with 15”. Still waiting for the same form factor and weight to get another macbook. Do have a m1 to get my feet wet.
Probably with a performance penalty in comparison to the M1 though, and the Apple chassis quality/design is something else, you just don't get it elsewhere.

Considering what the Asahi team has been doing so far and their reports I'm positive the CPU isn't a problem (since it's ARM). If they can get decent GPU performance (power consumption mostly) I'll be all over them.

It's not illegal if it's a coincidence, however, that may reasonably be probable cause for investigation, and if the investigation finds out that it's not that the criminal "just happened" to buy it but that you colluded to do that, that's a felony.

It depends which bit you're talking about.

A lot of implementations in various languages go with static regex approaches, which is a bit shit. This uses an AST which helps out a lot.

By adding the customization elements, people can write "GitHub Tables" or any sort of other extra syntax in.

And by keeping the HTML Rendering separate from the parsing process, other PDF renderers or whatever else could be added.

Somebody could make a [Maruka](http://markua.org/) extension for example, which is just CommonMark + Extra tags + PDF / eBook / etc.

It's not madness, and it will be optimized over time. Fear not. :)
