Who decides what counts as lies and conspiracy theory? What if they decide spreading the attitude that “all cops are bastards” or the notion that police shooting events are mostly motivated by bigotry a conspiracy theory that leads to additional violence and start banning tangential speech?
You are too focused on the election. The divisions in the electorate pre-date the election. It should be noted that the vehement disagreement about the election is really centered on just a tiny percentage of the votes in a few swing districts.

My point about division is true even if everyone suddenly accepted that the election results were accurate. We need to figure out how to resolve those underlying political differences or every single future election is going to be problematic.
If a private weapons contractor was testing a new hypersonic missile without any warhead on it, under a classified program - it seems to me that they would need to fly it outside restricted space to test long distances range and guidance systems.

As long as they were not at commercially used altitudes, it seems to me that they wouldn't advise anyone.

Object oriented can be read as "category theoretic, but with the arrows missing." And category theory certainly adds something to the algebra...
OSX, like the Linux core of Android both support pre-emptive multitasking.

The problem to be solved is how to support background processing of 3rd-party Apps without draining the battery.

Thus we are trying combinations of call-backs and App hibernation techniques.

Battery life is more important to me and I suspect most other smartphone users.

What is your evidence for OS4's multitasking being Poorly Implemented?

I recall reading an article linked from HK a few months back written by an Android OS developer who seemed to think it was a fairly solid crack at the problem.

What would you do differently?

This is an interesting, and IMO uncommon, response. Thanks for the honesty! :)

You're right social constraints are going to modify each condition; many people sleep with others in sympathy, for example.

If I imagined she was better-off, $500 would be plenty for ninety minutes of work (including drive time, chit-chat, etc.)

That's an interesting figure; because it is roughly how much a prostitute would be paid (I use that example only because it is the most readily available price for sex we have). So, possibly, there is an inherent social value for non-free sex we subscribe too.

My "ideal" price is zero; I sleep with people for free all the time

This syncs almost exactly with the response most men gave in our survey
Question is how much of it is needed to optimize profit.

No, optimizing for profit ignores your risk to capital. The US banking history has a long history of Martingale style investments where a high probability for modest return risks huge amounts of capital. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martingale_(betting_system) The important difference is banks risk far more capital than they have so a Martingale style bet works in their favor.

Alhold however, was risking 15 billion in capital to make a modest return. IMO, if you’re going to risk 15 billion then go whole hog and run a financial institution to better balance your risks. Why risk zero when you can go all the way to negative 15 billion etc.

PS: I know that's not what you meant by optimizing for profit, but they were still making a 15 billion dollar bet for a few millions of dollars in annual return.
I too think that OEMs and carriers delaying updates will be the biggest threat to Android. It has certainly angered me to the point where I don't recommend HTC anymore and will buy an iPhone next time around.

My understanding is that LuaJIT isn't really under active development anymore.

It does seem like it would be hard to add the 5.3 features to LuaJIT without compromising on efficiency, but given how clever Mike Pall is, I'd suspect it can be done.
Thank you! I've long thought I needed something exactly like this to keep in touch with family and friends.

Honestly, I think this is one of the best use cases for piracy. There may be no money in putting out a Symbolics manual, but it costs a pirate uploading a digital version almost nothing. Look at older video game emulation as well. It's probably not worth it to the companies to continue to put out the type of games that wind up on abandonware sites, but thanks to dedicated fans who pirate them, they wind up preserved for future generations.
> did I miss something?

In your examples you're binding or rebinding to vars in the current scope. The issue is rebinding vars outside of the current scope.

Perhaps this code demonstates what I'm getting at.

def my_function():
a = 1
def modify_a():
a = 2
modify_a()
print a # prints 1

b = [1]
def modify_b():
b = 2
modify_b()
print b[0] # prints 1

def modify_c():
c[0] = 2
modify_c()
print c[0] # prints 2

I like your emphasis! I will never ever tell my story enough of how I was in a really sad story in a developing country, badly in need of (a lot of) cash and ended up borrowing what is here several months worth salary from a local friend to settle the issue because I couldn't withdraw from ATMs thanks to Anonymous.

That is the day I truly realized there was at least one person I could ask anything, so I'm not too mad at them. Well maybe that's because I put myself into that situation too :)

What is your projection for search market share in 5 years?

It's a business that takes lots of investment in scale. I think Google is one misstep away from Bing grabbing lots more share.

Google instant was a near-miss. Even on my new macbook wtih google chrome it's annoyingly jittery and hinders the user experience.

The right thing to do, as she actually points out in passing in the first part of the article, would be to do what you're good at and send the money to a competent organization.

I remember the Red Cross writing something similar, that basically boiled down to "please stop sending us supply, give us money instead - by sending items you're making our logistics much, much more complicated and deprive the economy of people who need our aid from the money that we'd introduce if we bought stuff locally".
So sad to hear this. There are many great guitar players out there, but to me he was probably the greatest. Technically he was impeccable, but that's not it... his playing just had some crazy fervor to it. Some of his stuff is just, if you don't feel it, you must be dead. I know that playing his music will be out of my technical reach forever, but dang it I just wish I could replicate that fervor in my playing (or in anything else, come to think of it) just a couple of times in my life...

In any case, I'm really grateful to have had the chance to see him play live two times. Off to put "Live... One Summer Night" on. Gracias por todo, maestro.
Here's an explanation in plain english by one of the authors, Dr. Paige Harden:

I just got to the point this year where I finally got fed up with the level of editorial discretion taken with so many hot news takes. Makes me a real stick in the mud because I'm just not comfortable not seeing the primary doc anymore. I want to know what actually happened, not what someone thinks I should know about what happened.
Well, if I remember right, consolidation across the entire economy is at a record high.

In every sector, there's more regulation, much fewer & larger players. If the rot at Boeing is a symptom of this, we're in for a bad time: every firm across the entire economy is now larger and has fewer competitors than previously.
Yes, I will blame them. You make no compelling case otherwise. This is how the internet works. If you run a server with security vunls that are well known and patches available: it gets owned. It's your fault. Same type of situation here.
Looking at the whois for ugagrads.com its not the same person and already existed. So he didn't even buy them.
I suppose that depends on how it's done. Sonos manages to network multiple speakers and coordinate playback.
> It's not complicated

It _is_ complicated. It's so complicated that (i) there are discussions on the internet about whether 15% or 20% or 25% is fair, and (ii) there are many specialised 'tip calculator' apps.

When I walk into a restaurant, how much should I be expecting to pay for 'meets expectation' service? Is this a % of the bill, or a $ amount related to the amount of time I'm being served (a proxy for the amount of service I get)? Whatever your answer, are you confident that most other patrons of said restaurant would agree with your recommendation?
It's not that "your experience wasn't real depression" because people experience it differently and "real" depression is a uselessly ill-defined concept.

It is that "your experience does not make you qualified to pass negative judgements on others who are probably experiencing something very different from you."
Hah. I almost wrote this exact same comment!!
The price of bribery/lobbying is related to (price to influence) * (number of officials). Instead of raising the price to influence by paying them more, I recommend raising the number of officials.

If congress had 10k members, bribing enough to get something passed would get quite expensive. (6320 would be the current min size of the US House of Representatives by the original method in the Constitution of at least 1 per 50k)
Yea, you're right; I thought that some context might be needed after I posted.

They aren't related whatsoever, however the thought process of being put into the same position as the security research in this article is what made the connection for me. Assuming that the author wasn't from the UK (he probably is, but bare with me), as someone from the States I would have assumed that having an email exchange with the company was more than enough especially if there a reply on their end.

From my perspective, again knowing nothing about UK law (as much as people in the UK, China, or Fiji may know about US Law), I wouldn't know where to turn after that. Maybe a teaser post, without disclosing everything? If it weren't for the fact that the author stated that he had several two-way conversations with a representative of the company, I would have more sympathy for moonpig.

Speaking of which: How effective is the ICO?
"Boy-play" parties (and it aint Legos). They're even illegal in Afghanistan where they happened. Paid for by our tax dollars. And that's just a start. If you haven't seen anything illegal, you might want to open your eyes.

Any downsides to having your own in-house source control system? Got any horror stories of bugs in it?
Because I use R quite often, and R just doesn't produce graphs that look like that :).

But yes, it's probably possible to draw an uglier version of the visualization. (I know you can draw the individual points on the plane, so drawing lines between points is probably available as well, though I'm not so sure about the great circles part.)
The Clang-based BridgeSupport preview only improves the metadata generation. There's still no way to package the metadata that is iPhone friendly. Ultimately, a likely solution will be to add the metadata to an extra __TEXT segment and use dlopen/dlsym to fetch it from the MacRuby runtime...
"Jab" was what you were searching for. It means a small punch, or to stab at. ("Jab with a needle.")

Great article, both the original and the modified version. What do the data scientists and ML developers think about this. Is ML today where software was 25 years ago?
No, Plan 9 doesn't have long options at all.
I cannot upvote this enough.

One of the experiences I had was applying it to provisioning with idempotent shell scripts, combined with a trivial tool like https://github.com/lloeki/apply

Creating a VM in DO would add the basic SSH keys, then just run the thing against the new IP. Boom, VM ready. Want to make existing VMs config up to date? Apply. Boom.

The whole thing ridiculously scaled up in a totally unexpected way, saving hundreds of hours of headaches and mistakes.

Why not ansible/puppet? Check out the rationale in the readme.
Thanks - so it seems like it's actually the ease-of-implant part that Neuralink is really doing most interesting development on then, rather than the actual abilities it gives (so far at least)
Interested. Now using LXD for the same setup more or less, but that needs the help of the host firewall with NAT forwards. Can you share or point to tutorials on having full network stacks in each jailed VM, that would be great.

The way "strings" work in C is a big source of the kind of bugs that Wuffs is supposed to prevent.

> A string should always be a sequence of octets, but easily coerced by a casting operator to a numeric format from any index

The Wuffs language just uses "a sequence of octets" in favor of a string type.
Good point, I see I may have misunderstood the parent. Thanks.
Great points, I have some reading to do...
1. as I understand, GPT-x are trained on generic datasets. Why would anyone expect it could just be repurposed for a domain specific task, without additional fine tuning?

With due respect, I don't think that's the problem.

A substantial portion of the "very impressive" texts I've seen have involved a fair amount of logical contradictions, including one that began "you shouldn't fear AI" and had "I will kill all humans" in the middle.

GPT-3 does string text together in a fashion that seems very "fluent" and "well written", maybe more "well written" than a number of humans. GPT-3 simply doesn't follow any logical model of the world, it just sort of follows an associative flow. Which to me says that training on a specific medical database couldn't solve the problem - it might only mask the problem by avoid big error but allowing small errors that can still be deadly.

"Anything too intellectual will likely get a TL;DR type reaction."

I mostly agree with your post except for this. I actually find that Redditor's are extremely good about offering a counterpoint to a sensational title. Oftentimes, someone in the field related to the article will post something intellectual debunking the story (especially in the case of something to do with science or medicine) which will offer far more additional material than the source itself.
Absolutely. Although I'd steer clear of arguing that with a critic, as many of its melodies are based around arpeggios which feeds into the "repetitiveness" stereotype many hold against Glass.

Solo Piano is an interesting example, though, because melodic or not, even if one were to write it off as a rather mechnical work (which as, on the page, it looks) when Glass plays it himself it becomes quite organic due to his imperfect and almost swaggering rhythm.
This might not help. But automatic uploading to a public shaming site and/or to an automated police analytics engine should be enough.

If you want to merge on a lane, what is the workflow then ? Activate the blinker, then wait for the car on the merging lane to give me (security_distance * 2) before merging ? I could wait a (very) long time for this to happen.
In a system as complex, where you have millions of lines of code written by hundreds of programmers run on hundreds of chips designed by thousands of people, it doesn't really make sense to "point a finger at someone". The smallest responsible unit will most likely be the company that created the car.
Oh yeah!
There were the VCs who stopped us from doing the google business model.
There were the VCS who made us spend half the money they gave us on another portfolio product that didn't actually do what was promised, setting us back 2 years. (Yes 2 years!)

I've seen countless conflicts among the founding team because VCs push bad decisions on them and some of the founders fell like they have to follow them because they want more money form the VCs and the other half of the founders know the VCs are full of it.

I've seen VCs push out good founders, leaving the weaker founders behind in the company-- so they could have more control.

Notice all of these examples are VCs. Seen a LOT less shenanigans perpetrated by angels.

Ironically you're passing along a description of the origin of the phrase that seriously mangles what the person who mentioned that possible origin as one of several described.
TV ads are fun to watch, huh? Maybe, depends on a lot of variables.

On facebook ads - the best FB ads are native to facebook. Pictures or videos. You don't need to go to another site. They are interesting and draw the viewer's attention just like good TV (any) ads. You have the added benefit of instant social proof and maybe even clicks to your site, if you included a shortened link somewhere. Don't confuse FB ads with adwords or direct response banner advertising. It is not. People who treat it this way are the same people who complain it doesn't work.
Your multiple replies on this page stating the same information remind me, as much as it would be cool and interesting for UFOs to be alien spacecraft, many in the pro-UFO community come off sounding a little obsessed and some come off sounding downright nutty. If there is so much 'real' evidence, it would have spoken for itself by now. The same goes for other supernatural occurrences (ghosts etc). Mulder's famous poster said it best - "I want to believe".
I tend to agree that people who write software should -- where possible -- licence it so that people using it for commercial purposes either need to release the source code (GPL) or in terms similar to Fred's ImageMagick scripts.

The reason for this is that there is a very active competition between OSS (open source software) and non-free software and if OSS can access libraries which non-free software cannot, it gives OSS a very much needed advantage.

That being said, these scripts look incredible! We shouldn't focus so much on the licence but rather in the incredible effort the author has put in, and the knowledge he displays (I think it's pretty impressive!)
Is it any scarier than having wildly inefficient software code? (Think a naive traversal of large matrices that thrashes the cache.)

That's a workflow where optimization requires knowing the internals and how they interact, but you can ignore such things if you just want correctness. At least in software, that model works well, because the performance of most of the code we write doesn't matter - even in applications where performance is a concern.
The other poster is right. That is typing, that is not static type checking.

You can write code like:

List<MyObject> mylist = new HashSet<Integer>() {{ add("string"); add(1L); }}

You will get groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException with constructor issues.
Thanks for the recommendation. I just grabbed myself a copy of the 2005 edition from Amazon!

As a user, I agree - DO was seen a cheaper clone of Linode / Slicehost when they launched. I used to usually recommend Pair and Linode to my clients and, later DO to my more cost-conscious clients. At that time, I preferred Linode over DO, because the support was better and the prevalent practice than was to look suspiciously at new hosts because a lot of them folded up. You looked to older hosts, like Pair (and later Rackspace and Linode) because you knew they were reliable in both tech and the hosting business.
You just described all software ever released. Things always stop working one day and then we're forced to learn/get used to a new thing.

It is indeed an SX! I am upgrading it to 16 MiB soon, as well as putting an Ethernet card in it. At that point I think it might end up a much more capable host. I am not sure if I want to find some way to keep this page up long-term yet. If there ends up being a reason to, then I will look around for some suitably retro way to host it, while still allowing me to use the 386 for other things.
