I don't think that's even correct, the article is somewhat contradictory:

> Since Apple uses a hashed prefix, Google cannot learn which website the user is trying to visit. Up until iOS 14.5, Google could also see the IP address of where that request is coming from.

Chick Corea was a god.

I learned Spain on the bass in the hopes that one day I could play my meager rendition for him. In a concert at SFJazz he picked people out of the audience to paint their portraits with his piano. How lucky was I to be placed upon such a seat where Chick dismembered me with his eyes, eviscerating my soul upon a platter. He stared at me with the eyes of a musician who had searched heaven and hell for the most tempestuous chordal mixtures. The two minutes I spent in that seat where he painted my portrait with his keystrokes are some of the most treasured moments of my life. I felt like I had been seen, chewed up, devoured, and reincarnated as the everloving Chick Corea sycophant I had always known myself to be.

The man was a goddamn monster on the boards and we are all at a loss with his passing. Rest in Power Chick, you're in my heart forever.

Poor is a very poor choice of words. On average maybe, but there are many more actual poor people (as in living beneath the minimal standard of living in the country) per capita in the US than the UK.

The fact that it's not actually faster is the entire beauty of it. While our competitors have been super busy to actually make their encoding faster, we have just taken a huge bite of free launch by making the encoding happen in parallel.
I do. From the extremely rich, I heard something along these lines: "When you have money, money is not an issue."

If you want to have, try, or do something NOW, money can make it happen. No waiting. Life is short. In exchange for money, I would have time. I would be liberated to pursue other things, to answer the call of other motivations. I picture it much like Maslow's Hierarchy: pierce the resource barrier, and you have ventured into the next level. The acquisition of resources and services in general is no longer an issue. Now we are in the realm of the rare, and our internal motivations/desires guide us more.

No need to worry about what kind of insurance you have. No need to pause to ask if you can afford to take an ambulance. No need to decide between this or that. No more dreaming about taking a rocket to the moon.

This is another way to say "freedom", but a general "freedom" is incorrect. There is always the next problem, the next desire. Remove money as a block, and many issues are resolved, while new issues enter the picture.

Of course, a million dollars does not buy all that, but it could sure get me out of my debts and bolster my current investments! Yes, I really want a million dollars. A million dollars buys me time, my most precious resource, time I did not have to spend making that million.

Lonnie Johnson's JTEC is an interesting looking approach for that bit - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson_thermoelectric_energy_c...
My wife's grandma just posted a screed on FB that I think is telling. She's an average non-college educated white lady in her 80s. She's always voted Republican because of abortion. She's pretty smart, tech-savvy, maintains a household by her self in a rural area. She's probably less prejudiced than your average 80-year old American--insofar as she still thinks its okay to make the occasional off-color joke but doesn't object to the mixed relationships that led to her mostly mixed 9 great-grandkids. She doesn't believe in QAnon or whatever. She probably reads too much Breitbart, which gives her a skewed belief of what the Democrat policy agenda really is, but a lot of the material these days are just tweets from progressives.

The stuff she complained about really highlighted for me how the media isn't speaking language she understands anymore. For example:

> Universities that advocate equality, discriminate against Asian-Americans in favor of African-Americans.

> Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.

> $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.

> If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.

> killing murderers is wrong, but killing innocent babies is right.

These complaints all rest on completely conventional beliefs and assumptions. Increasingly, folks in news media and liberal policy circles not only don't hold any of these beliefs, but can't even talk to someone who does. For them, these things are axiomatic, and they can't explain their beliefs by reference to universal principles my wife's grandma shares. And when she reads a steady stream of their tweets, its alarming for her. When people don't share a basic framework of how to see the world, they can't trust each other or have meaningful policy discussions.
If you're not willing to install a whole new OS, nix , the package manager of nixos, is standalone and can be run in a single user without interferring with system packages. It's a great way to familiarize yourself with the system. [0]

> Is there any reason not to fight the privacy war on every front possible?

I guess the hard part of a privacy war is determining the line between desired features / convenience and protection of privacy. This line is (despite seeming so on HN) very blurry in reality. Typical example, Google Maps is commonly praised as the best navigation system because it can dynamically route around traffic based on their location data collection.
Many people fighting the privacy war would demand that feature to be destroyed since it collects private data. Many people would consider that feature essential to their lives. Many people would perhaps want a better balance between those two extremes.
It's obviously related. The implication is that they pushed code to Github just to gain public trust that can be leveraged to market their cryptocurrency.
> I'm the guy with the picture that's on puzzle box, rather than having to place each puzzle piece.

This is such a great phrase! It so succinctly captures a situation I think we've all observed many times, but I've always struggled to encode it in words.

> I've tried really hard to make myself obsolete and do something else, but it has backfired spectacularly.

How has this backfired, I'm curious?

I'm imagining that the future-you's fail to seamlessly slot-in, and management types don't have an appetite for broken eggs on the way to an omelette, when they already have an omelette in you?

I wonder, do you feel any anxiety about this?

As in, you're valuable at $COMPANY_X, but you're not challenged to better yourself beyond what you already are. Much of your value to $COMPANY_X derives from skills and knowledge that are specific to $COMPANY_X / $INDUSTRY.

For me, the anxiety would come from the question "sure, I have this here and now, but would I be able to reproduce this elsewhere, or what this a fluke?", and it would increase with tenure. :)

Curious to hear your thoughts on this, too.
You don't have to be a victim.
If you earn x, and she earns y, it's perfectly OK in a relationship to get a job that pays only y.

I think it's incredibly black & white. It must be the legislators. They are the ones with power to pass laws. Even if businesses "encourage" (not "produce") corruption, the law makers must have some control over their own actions, right? Why don't defense contracts lobby Dennis Kucinich? Why doesn't Monsanto lobby Ron Paul? If there were 535 legislators who respected the constitution, there wouldn't be a lobbying industry.

Here's a tip for getting lightning fast boot times without investing in overpriced SSD's: Stop shutting things down in the first place.
Gold is the most stable commodity in the world, which is one reason its ideal for this purpose. Most of the gold that has been mined throughout history is still part of the supply.

And the one getting that portion of the gold supply is doing the work of getting it out of the ground. So I really don't see how that's stealing.

Fiat money is another matter entirely. As most fictional things are quite different than real things.

Jude Wanniski makes an excellent case for gold in The Way the World Works. He also explains why inflation is so dangerous. I encourage you to check it out.
> It depends on your usage scenario, but for .NET development in Windows I can vouch for it's value.

The reality is that it significantly increases performances for all workloads but streaming videos (huge sequential reads).

Most of computer usage is random access to small files, and that's a field where SSDs utterly annihilate rotating platters (not that rotas have any advantage but storage capacity, mind you, SSDs are also superior in seq read and write, but on random we're talking 2MB/s on 4k random write for a VelociRaptor to >200MB/s for a Vertex 3; 0.68MB 4k random read for a VR to >90MB for a Vertex 3, for sequential performances the difference will be a factor of 2 or 3 tops between a VR and a top-of-the-line SSD)

The difference is, of course, even more impressive for laptop drives: most laptops don't house 10k, 10W monsters like the VRs

It is definitely a possibility that your glass will pop out of the frame depending on the type of window and frame. There are a lot of other security window laminates other than burglargard. 3M makes a "safety and security film" that is the same thing and they offer a few different frame reinforcement options. One option commonly used is a silicone caulk that adheres the film to the frame to prevent the glass from being forced out in one piece.
The point is that the effects of state-wide restrictions on wages are hard to capture because low-skilled workers move to states that generate jobs requiring them.
For service animals, it doesn't matter unless there is a specific reason.

https://www.adalive.org/episode5_qas#14

> Service animals are always permitted to accompany their users in any private or public transportation vehicle or facility. This means that they must be allowed to ride with the person with a disability.

> One of the most common misunderstandings about service animals is that they are limited to being guide dogs for persons with visual impairments. But dogs used as service animals are trained to assist people with a wide variety of disabilities, including individuals with hearing and mobility impairments.

> One more thing: charging extra fees to carry a service animal and an individual with a disability would also be a violation of the ADA.

Is there any decent way to filter PFAS and other chemicals without a RO system? It seems like filter jugs at best filter heavy metals. Very hard to research with the amount of blog spam.
Maybe, but probably not. Most auto manufactures are doing a partnership. So you might see the Ford self driving car that locks out GM, but Ford is already known to be working with VW on self driving cars: in this case Ford and VW would both have self driving cars at about the same time using that patent. Ford and VW both have interest in a number of other companies as well that we can expect to be brought into this partnership quickly.

Cross licensing is fairly common in cases like this as well. Every car company has enough R&D as to produce some interesting patents. Want our more comfortable seats in your luxury car - give us good terms for your patent and we will give you good terms.

It isn't unheard of for companies to automatically freely license safety related patents. (someone who doesn't die in a competitors car might buy your car next time) So there is another option that might happen.

The above assumes there actually is a breakthrough that is patentable. If all we need is a large enough machine learning data set - those are easy enough to create (just very tedious), and so there are not patents to take out. If your system depends on some sensor - there are lots of different ways to make a sensor and work around the patent.

The idea of self driving has been around for long enough that you can't patent it. There is plenty of prior work to cite. Companies have been known to be working on it long enough that any idea patents would have expired before now.

I think a modern dualist would view this as hardware vs software.

If all were able to measure were voltage levels on a CPU, you would say all computing is inevitably bound to changing electrical voltages/currents. However, you would miss out on all the math and algorithms and the beauty and richness that is software.

A dualist might see the “soul” as the software that the physical brain executes. Of course, if all you have access to is brain electrical measurements, you see no distinction. However, if you look inside yourself with introspection, you will see a richness of ideas, thoughts, motivations that actually drive the physical brain.
> At what point does this stop being AI's fault and start being an accurate observation of things that are society's fault?

AI shouldn't take the blame. Blame the folks collecting biased data, or those making biased decisions encoded in the data. The data is known to be tainted. Blame those using that data to train models, and sell/rent/apply those models for profit. Blame the researchers who know, or should know, better but make breathless claims about how their AI can be used without regard for the impact if people follow their advice

Hey, I feel you! I'm an intuitive learner as well. I wouldn't have been able to learn much in ML if it weren't for people who write and visualize and make the methods accessible to non-experts. In my case, as with many others, it was the writing and videos of Andrew Ng, Karpathy, Chris Olah, Nando de Freitas, Sebastian Ruder, Andrew Trask, and Denny Britz amongst others. Accessible content like this goes a long way in building the confidence to further pursue the topic and not be intimidated by the steep learning curve. It fill me with joy that you've found some of my work helpful.

> It doesn't matter whether the containers were "hidden"

Then don't write hidden? Just write 'ballots'. Or write 'ballots that were sealed because the counting stopped, but then re-opened when the counting resumed'.

> You didn't read the other sources I linked, which contain sworn statements from two observers, as well as articles published by several news stations stating that observers (and news) were told to go home because they were done for the night.

Yes. Thats what the video in the tweet said. Thats basically what I wrote when I described what the video said.

> You aren't interested in holding a dicussion, just labelling. Typical anti-intellectualism coming from the political party that won the election.

The source that you cited contradicted your claim of 'hidden ballots'. You are a liar.

I feel like most people think of what you're referring to as trading Tether, and "redeeming USDT" as actually exchanging the USDT for the fiat that is supposedly backing it.

Everybody realizes that for the individual turning tether into fiat both of these amount to the same thing, but they are not the same thing for the system as a whole at all. Ultimately the only way that tether as a company can maintain the peg is by buying their own token with the reserve funds if market won't (there are obviously different mechanisms they could use to do this, either via the exchanges or with the seller directly trading with them). If they don't have access to enough reserve funds then the peg will eventually fail.

A focused search engine for startup trend followers
http://startupper.info
This is a search engine I made with Google Custom Search to let me search for previous startup news/discussion blogs online easier.

I found that the general Google search has a lot of unwanted "noise" in its search results. Also I read a lot of RSS feeds from these startup-focused blogs/forums everyday and quite often I cannot remember where a particular article were from and may need to search multiple websites separately. That's why I created this startup-focused search engine.

It currently is limited to search for startup related news/forums on News Ycombinator, Techcrunch, Startupping, Mashable, Venturebeat and most read blogs from Paul graham, Robert Scoble, Guy Kawasaki, Don Dodge and a lot of other sites (currently ~80 in total).

Feedbacks are appreciated.
