Come on, stop acting that shitty. I'm a proud Indian, and this is the second time I'm condemning the state of the Internet in India in the same month[Earlier, due to Airtel's proposal to violate net neutrality].

If you believe you're doing so as these websites contain "anti-India" stuff, well, then screw yourself. Code that is used to run apps worldwide, API's, and what not have been cut off access to due to your little problem. On one hand, the guys promote the IT industry but on the other hand, they purposefully demote the industry. Get your goals right, people.

Moreover, I don't think the telecommunications department even knows how to cut off access to a website. I'm from Delhi, and here, both Github and Pastebin are accessible.
You don't spend heavy marketing dollars on a free app. (Not in the way most people would define "marketing", anyway.)

I think the issue this article talks about has been widely discussed. E.g https://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~qzhao/adversarial.html

It is a very specific problem in the realm of ML in my opinion. The networks that were mentioned are large and often with millions of parameters. Such models will be more difficult to evaluate why it fails comparing with a simpler model.

Besides, the trick to produce such adversarial examples is an optimisation problem in the same sense as a hacking attack that you perturb the input signals in a way that when using this trained gigantic function it maps to a specific classification. The solution is a certain noise, then you add 'noise-like' real life images to make sure the network would ignore (but human would pick out for the obvious).
Well, now it's the Zhou effect. Congrats!
I wonder what this is the average of? It is the average of just things that were killed, or the average of all products, including living ones like Search? And is it really average or is it median?

> based on discontinued products listed on our website

This makes me think it is only dead products, which seems like it would skew things a bit.

If anything this tells me it takes them a long time to make a decision to kill something.
If "idempotent" means "do the same thing", one would expect the same response on a subsequent call, no?

"Do the same thing" isn't specific enough. Does it mean the state of the system? Does it mean the response code? Does it mean the response body? Does it mean all of these things? All seem like reasonable interpretations.
The whole point of this thread was that implementing a GC is possible with what WebAssembly provides today, no need to wait for an API that might never come.

Yes there are bugs in some implementations and others could have been better done, it happens.

Discussing technicalities of who is using what in production is moving goalposts.

Not a big fan of having lost PNaCL in favour of WebAssembly craziness, but that is what we have to work with, GC might come in 5 years time or even never, who knows.

What I know is that despite the flaws, many developers are eager to implement something with what we have now and kudos to them for trying it out.

It's not at all a SF problem, it's a metropolitan city problem. NYC, Boston, Denver, Austin, Boise, both Portlands, etc all have the same housing crisis.

The truth is well-paying (i.e. middle class) jobs are coalescing in a small number of cities which have failed to adapt to the growth. As a software engineer this means I can either make great money in one of the aforementioned cities or a fraction of it in an "off-brand" city. Lucky for me I can afford to pay out the nose for my apartment but this causes incredible pressure on the housing supply, especially for those less well-off.
> Why?

Because if the government decides that it can, at any point, kill off your entire industry and destroy hundreds of billions in value, then we’re all fucked.
Let's say there are 3 types of domain: parked domain, in-use domains, monetized domains. Here's what I would do:

Parked domain: I would offer no more than $50. Most parked, un-used domains are going to be parked forever. The chances being sold are very low, so you can use this advantage to really push down the price. Also, if the domain name is just the name of one of your project idea, you can always pick something else that its domain is available.

In-used domain. At this part, it really depends. As jeffmould said, try looking up its search engine ranking and determine its value based on SEO.

Monetized domain. Usually the owner of this kind of domains wants to sell at a relative high price. Do a little bit of research and estimate how much the site is making every month. Let's say it's generating $1000 ad revenue per month, anywhere between $5000-$10000 will be acceptable.

To conclude, the golden rule is always offer your lowest expected price. Because the owner is 100% going to raise the price from what you say until you're both satisfied.
If they're getting access to the whole QPX feed, this is a great step forwards for the Hipmunk guys. Matrix - the gold standard in flight-finding websites - is powered by QPX, but its weakness has always been its less-than-great UI. Sure, Hipmunk won't get Matrix's routing language (a small DSL that allows incredible precision in specifying the flights you'd like it to return), but the people that use it wouldn't be interested in something like this anyways.

Congrats to the Hipmunk guys!

For a device you already bought? Not really. How often do you replace your printer?

If you rely on GCP for your home/home-office/small business, you might be a little peeved to discover that your several-hundred-dollar printer might be reduced to a "dumb"/local-only printer next year because the manufacturer decided to rely on a closed-source third-party service for what you consider core functionality of your printer.
Can the police now run up and strap a camera to my forehead, compelling me to leave it there, allowing them to observe my movements, and charging me with a crime for removing it?

I guess when this happens I have to drop it off at a police station. TIL
I'm sure that none of the names will mean much to you if you were born after 1980 or so but when you read Jeff Minter, David Braben or any one of the other names references feel free to substitute 'Markus Persson' or 'John Carmack' and your feelings won't be too far off.

Well, Bitstamp was incompetent enough to keep $5M USD (almost 20k BTC) in their hot wallet. That's half their most recent funding round, so the panic is probably warranted.

I think we're at an impasse because you believe in Coinbase's competency. That's commendable, but I saw firsthand how incompetent an exchange can be without anybody noticing. If I'd researched Mt. Gox, I would have found a history of tech problems not dissimilar to Coinbase's, so the goal with my original comment was to remind people that this situation is very similar to Mt. Gox. They're based in the US, they have good investors, but still fundamentally similar to Mt. Gox.

Don't get me wrong, making an exchange is a hard problem, so it's pretty amazing that Coinbase has gotten this far with "only" four or five high-profile issues. Everyone loves a story of some small group of people surmounting a difficult problem. But when that problem puts people's livelihoods at risk, we need to make sure everybody is fully informed about the risks.

I also want to thank you for the interesting conversation. Much appreciated!
Right..? But if you can change the log level you can likely do a lot of other things too, like access the private key used by Santuario.

> there is no substantial definition of "empire" by which the U.S. is an empire

I'm genuinely curious about your take on that.

I've had the assumption that the U.S. control over so much of the world's economics and security amounts to running an empire - stuff like exporting inflation via the worlds reserve currency and selling treasury bonds (modern tribute), worldwide control over trade using a navy with more tonnage than all of our enemies combined, military bases in 80 countries, things like the Monroe Doctrine enforcing our interests over an entire continent, decades of using the CIA and other means to replace governments in other countries that we don't like, wars in the past to secure our supply of oil, funding proxy wars to destabilize up and coming regional powers, exporting our drug and copyright laws to the rest of the world, running the worlds financial networks, restricting trade in territories we control like Puerto Rico, exported our culture to the rest of the world, etc. For decades we seem to have dominated a large swath of the world in ways that other western countries, like Canada for example, do not. There's even a long Wikipedia article on American Imperialism [0].

Does the definition of empire preclude the idea of modern empires not following the same methods of past empires? Or am I missing something else?

I can't seem to read this in any other way than you are asking something like "why is it harder to find one hundred $100 million opportunities than one?"

Finding one such opportunity is hard, finding two is harder because you have to find the first and then do more work to find the second. This pattern continues indefinitely for as many opportunities as you'd like to find.
Jim Simons (of Chern-Simons form).

Lost his job as a head of a crypto lab for making comments critical of the Vietnam war to a local newspaper. Found another job, made strong contributions to geometry, and left mathematics altogether to make money.

Now runs a hedge fund, makes billions.

Sure, one can say that it's "related" to mathematics, but not from a standpoint of a pure mathematician. If he were a musician, he'd be closer to mathematics.
This is kinda neat. I just got one to the charger.

I will say though, half the ones I tried connecting to didn't connect, and the other half seemed stuck or upside-down, or broken. This is not promising for if I am going to use this for telepresence... I might have to call someone to right me or fix me.

Also, your app doesn't seem to provide any sort of exclusive control... I am pretty sure I was fighting another driver for control?

EDIT: Additional piece of feedback, I see the charger is not included or sold. While the site says it's just a Qi charger... having a Qi charger in an orientation that's well-suited to easily docking a relatively questionable driving device... absolutely worth selling.

I'd be hesitant to buy a product like this without that charging solution, I'd strongly consider one with it. Sell the charging station, even if it's a separately sold item that's basically a retail Qi charger and a 3D-printed holder for it.
There is no good canonical reference. OLAP for RDBMS is different than OLAP as originally defined and as provided in specialized tech stacks for purposes of planning apps, business modeling and so on. Absent a good canonical reference for what OLAP actually is, hard to have a good one for the RDBMS flavor.

The Data Warehousing Toolkit by Ralph Kimball is the classic for dimensional design in that vein.

I’ve been working in OLAP since 5 years before the term was coined, happy to discuss further.
She was climbing through a barricaded door through a broken window with a person with a drawn gun on the other side protecting who knows who, armed or not the outcome was kind of a given when she decided that was a good idea. Not the best comparison to put up against the treatment of BLM protestors throughout the year.
I'm no expert but wouldn't it make sense that Tether has to mint new USDT pegged to the price of BTC? If BTC price increases, regardless of what reason, the next buyer has to somehow have more USDT than there previously was in the system.

- B buys 1USDT for 1USD

- BTC sale at 1USDT from A to B

- person B now lists their BTC for 3USDT

- if person C now wants to buy this BTC for 3 USD, there has to be an additional 3 USDT minted

Given new influx of money keeps happening to buy BTC, more and more USDT needs to be printed. Meaning, extra USDT is printed BEFORE the price increases. Because it's required to buy. Doesn't explain why it's seldom burned. Nobody ever cashes out?
I sincerely hope you don't mean this to be comparable. Beating police with batons? Stealing their riot shields? Spraying them with mace? Stealing property from the capitol?

You and I both know that if all the folks did yesterday was go into the Capitol and march and chant in the halls, they'd be framed as deranged lunatics who might've gone a bit too far - not domestic terrorists. Show me the video evidence from the women's march where they coordinated a group to push into the police while yelling for "fresh patriots" to come to the front line and push back.
In Germany you cannot advertise nazism, which you can in America. This restriction of free speech in Germany is exactly put in place to prevent a totalitarian state.

Interesting decision to go for dynamic invoke. Does anyone know if the implementation is similar to that of LINQ in terms of using an AST? Would type erasure allow for composing lambda expressions?
I don't think deep fake is deep enough to survive real scrutiny, especially with tools to detect fakes. I'm not even sure still image fakes are good enough to be undetectable given some time and resources.

Deep fake videos are more about influencing opinion, especially when people can't be bothered to check sources, which is a legitimate concern.

I expect that any video submitted as court evidence will undergo the necessary scrutiny.
I wouldn't be surprised if Pelosi doesn't really use a computer much (at work), and to the extent that she does it is completely managed by her aides.
No physical evidence is ever provided without some sort of testimony as to its provenance. The legal system was already equipped for this, in theory. The bigger problem recently has been that when someone is willing to lie about their faked evidence, it's harder to detect and impeach the testimony introducing that evidence.

So it's a problem, but not a structural one. The existing structures are already designed to handle forged evidence. The issue is that it's more expensive and technically difficult for parties to audit evidence in search of that forgery.

Typically they don't try to. But people have gotten into the capitol to interrupt things before.

Five Congressmen were shot by Puerto Rican nationalists on the floor of the house in the 50s.

Protestors interrupt things fairly often. Happened during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings and again during the vote.

This is probably the most overwhelmed the Capitol has been since the British captured it.

Like I said in the other branch: in general, it sucks to talk about talking, especially when it's always the same stuff being said. So even if it seems kind of off-topic, it's often better to stay mum for this reason.

That said, this seems more than kind of, and is the type of off-topic that seems to lead to more of the not interesting stuff, so I decided to say something despite all that.
Oh my. Do use pgrep. It's much more robust (what do you do if you have to search for a process named "0:0"?), and you don't have to use pipelines and strange regex tricks (which will fail to work on zsh with "set nomatch" if you don't quote, for example).
"without putting in effort commensurate with the article itself"? You're suggesting that in order to be allowed to criticize something on a web forum, one would have to invest months of one's time beforehand?

Your own criticism seems to commit the logical fallacy of "argument by effort" (and assumes that there can't be any shoddily-thrown-together research papers or ones written by outright cranks).

How about we judge both articles and comments on the merit of their specific content?

Besides, reminding people that arxiv is not a peer-reviewed source and does not by itself lend credibility to a paper does not even represent criticism of the paper itself, just some additional context in which to judge it.
Also interested. I have wanted to try GAs with this same general approach for awhile but I have a trading background not a coding one. logicwins atthe gmail dot com.

No, we thought the same, but found egg mayo sandwich in Singapore, added extra cheese, and for 2 weeks, we could not stop eating it every single day
You're right, it's probably impossible to give all apps and developers a fair shake. But that doesn't mean Apple shouldn't try to improve the situation, especially if they want to keep good developers interested in their platform.
So, as mentioned in the first link, client audits via the browser would do absolutely nothing during an attack:

"None of CT’s proofs (audit or consistency proofs) will detect mis-issuance of a certificate by a rogue CA, not even if gossip of STHs (signed-tree-heads) successfully occurs [1]"

And that's for today's attacks. In the section before that paragraph, another attack is demonstrated that also cannot be prevented by CT's audit proofs.

I think to properly interpret this, you’d need to see a control case where the same whale is the same or similar area with zero ships. Do they normally just swim in that pattern? Perhaps that’s the normal manner in which they troll for krill.
You don't just have to watch out for CPI inflation to be outpaced by productivity. The money supply needs to also outpace productivity if you want the same status quo.

I've built up an intuition that the money supply should match changes in productivity, and that if it doesn't it will eventually lead to problems. But it's also notable that the trend is extremely important. If you do match, everything should be fine and this can last forever. If the money supply rises faster than productivity, you see what we've seen these past 50 years since we've been off the gold standard, a huge surge in asset prices. And if productivity rises faster than the money supply, people flee assets and into money. This is called a Deflationary Spiral. But the opposite state is basically an Inflationary Spiral, with people unwilling to spend their assets.

Dalio in his "Explaining the Economic Machine" video talks about a "Beautiful Deleveraging". My thought currently is that such a thing isn't possible. If you wait for the debt to get so bad that you have to do something, you can't match productivity anymore. Therefore the only thing you are left to do is grow the money supply less than productivity. And that changes everything. Suddenly the trend is to money. And once the money managers work that out, they all rush out of assets and into cash. This triggers a crash. So it's the trend that dominates, and there is no way to balance the deleveraging.
One of the unusual things in this early version of C is that "int" can be used for any word-sized value, including pointers. The type system was very loose.
Agreed! My personal bias against a system depends on if it failed at it's primary purpose or not. I've had a lot of things fail in a lot of ways and I'm generally pretty forgiving, but there are some things that are just inexcusable. Some examples:

* A popular (at the time) version control system started to silently overwrite files when it ran out of disk space. We discovered this when we retrieved source code that had parts of another file in it.

* A UPS vendor had a product that tested the battery by turning off the power. When the battery ultimately failed our servers were powered off automatically. This happened randomly about every 3 weeks (usually on a weekend evening). It took us months to find the cause.

I can't come back from these problems. So, if the system is a bit slow or crashes sometimes or has other weird problems, I'm OK with that. If it bites me specifically where it's supposed to protect me, it's out, forever.

Everybody knew Apple would announce a new iPhone at WWDC, maybe more stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if a very significant part of the attendance were there not for the technical sessions, but to cover product launches.
How can you prove, though, that meaning is neither singular, preset and nor condensable to a single goal? What if god does exist? Then it would be rational to act in a way that pleases god and thus it should be our goal to find out whether that is the case.

Using files as an API is one of the most generic interfaces you can get. You can use it from any system/language you can imagine, assuming it can write to a file.
Flash flash flash. Einstein was wrong wrong wrong!
according to my understanding, there is no "fact" in science. there are observations, hypotheses (and null hypotheses if related to stats) and theories. i think "fact" is used in the article as theories or hypotheses that explain corresponding observations well enough, and over and over again.
