china overproduces things and trade dumps on other countries because of local government quota and made-up numbers for GDP. that's not a country we want to produce goods for the long term. buying from democratic countries would be a good start
All of the major world states are making their own crypto currencies - you think they just decided to do that because they think it's a fun thing to play with?

The Chinese central bank has filed hundreds of patents for CryptoYuan and is fast-tracking its efforts to back it with gold so they can win the crypto war. Must be nothing.

The European central bank is currently building it's own crypto likely due for release by 2022, and so is the US Federal Reserve.

States want crypto precisely because they'll be able to fully control the finances of citizens. Yeah, that's my idea of utopia alright.

You have no idea what the value of a smart contract is, because no one really does. Some projects like ETH are trying to evolve it into something valuable.

As for Bitcoin, you can make your own Bitcoin/Lightning nodes, and it's a race to the bottom in terms of charging fees for usage - so how do you imagine a middle-man will appear that will somehow strong-arm you into not being able to use the thousands of much cheaper nodes?

Judging by the progress of technology, I'd say we're about 5 years away from being able to download the full Bitcoin blockchain within an hour.

Here's the thing, you're arguing with a phantom in your mind and thinking you're winning something. Wake up and take cryptocurrencies seriously.
Too bad coinabase\s approach to crypto is centralized. They operate a blocklists to prevent people from sending funds to certain addresses . Even paypal does not do this.
I thought that was less of a tech issue and more of a policy issue.
Resharper has also helped my code to "evolve" alongside the language. In fact I learned LINQ with it. It is also very easy to compare the different solutions for readability in each case.
I can't recall an instance in the last 30 years, where 60 Minutes was competent and valuable news show.

One particularly clear example is this 2013 interview with fmr NSA/CyberCom chief Keith Alexander, where Alexander is allowed to dispense one factually misleading response after another, in response to the endless softballs gently loosed in his general direction.

https://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/23/business/media/when-60-mi...

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/12/why-did...

In my opinion, 60 Minutes is a poster child of federal authoritarian favoritism, regularly shown by news outlets. Poorly challenging a state official just serves to further contrast that.
I see some other open source recipe attempts but I could not find the source of this site. Am I getting it wrong?

Your point is well made, but if the large, relevant problem can be broken into small sub-problems, and if one of those consumes a significant amount of compute time, then that might (just might!) be worth optimising in assembler.

My experience of problems requiring massive hardware or clusters (limited, I admit, to certain classes of scientific computing) is that such assembler coding of speed-critical components is actually often done.
I agree with you on that score, but my point was context. In the context of an article about being frugal, it's valid - he's not failing to understand your perspective, he's writing it off as irrelevant to his aim.
I think Zed should know by now that the tech interview is also a personality screen. It's helpful to know if you're hiring someone who rolls his eyes when asked to do something he thinks trivial. Or who wants to be treated like a rockstar.

Also, it's a way of getting team buy-in, even when hiring a lead. Whatever the team rituals are to establish respect, the new guy has to pass them. If it's dumb questions about missionaries and cannibals, that's lame, but so be it.
First, the Racket VM has been under development since 1995, so it's not "another VM".

Second, the Racket VM supports lots of things that other VMs don't: the Racket module system [1], kill-safe synchronization [2], custodians and eventspaces [3], first-class continuations, and many other things besides.

100 kcal/soda x 1 soda/day x 35 days = 1lb of body weight.

I'm currently slightly overweight at 220lb (6'4", BMI 26), and my current lifestyle exactly maintains my weight (varies from 220-225). If I drink 1 8 oz soda/day (I currently drink none), I would become obese in less than 3 years.

Granted, if I also eat brownies, soda won't be solely responsible. Doesn't mean that soda didn't contribute.
I don't see anything objectionable in that beyond typical angel/incubator rhetoric. Isn't something like: "we provide the seed capital that frees up entrepreneurs to pursue their ideas", a pretty stock justification for the role they play?
I have no idea what would make you say that. Their board includes the founder of Xing (German LinkedIn competitor that IPOed, #225 in global Alexa rankings and #15 in Germany) and StarOffice (which exited to Sun and became OpenOffice) and the other two are also founders that look like they have some credible experience. Those aren't exactly bureaucrats.

Pick up a variorum Yeats some time and see how much he rewrote--final version "The Lament of the Old Pensioner" looks very little like the original.
Those from Eufy are physical cameras. Their mobile app is used to control their camera. But this one "ai-cam" is a mobile app which use phone camera and do not require another physical camera. Also the smart alerts of "ai-cam" are much more advanced.

The main span of human existence was principally tribal. If the mother died ( and just projecting back from 19th century death in childbirth rates ... ) the tribe raised the kid.

The tribe mainly raised the child anyway past a point.
When someone says, "The threat is low," I think using "phobia" to refer to their recognition that the threat does exist is ridiculous.

(Unless, of course, you are saying that the majority of the population in countries where the police do not carry guns are all phobic, as many of them would have the same reaction.)

Wikipedia is definitely a good example of interlinked documents, indeed. Blog is probably too (editing blog is entirely different process — you wouldn’t call Adobe Acrobat “a document”)

What I’m trying to say that it’s hard to draw the line between documents and apps if all you have is a tabbed document viewer and you force to build apps on a document typesetting engine.
The headline here has "entire" in it - on CNN it does not. Makes quite a difference!
Generating a 301 is likely more work. Profile pages are simple database hits, and they may be dynamically or even statically cached (for popular pages). You're probably severely underestimating how much traffic China can produce [1].

Does it have to be "sustainable"? It wouldn't work for Google, but it works for Gumroad (and, like they said, most open source projects). Gumroad is a pretty simple site (and I don't mean that as an insult). They don't deal with huge customers, sales processes, large data, complicated tech, etc. Most "hard" things can be outsourced to a SaaS tool.

So why overcomplicate things?
Are such fines anything more than standard operating expenses for these companies at this point? There was fraud, 2 planes crashed, hundreds of people died, and yet no one is facing any real consequences and these planes are already back in the air.
Depending on how the serial number was chosen, the odds could be dramatically higher, dramatically lower, or zero. If the serial number was derived from another, new bill, received from a local bank, then the odds are quite good.

If it is chosen by writing the serial number of a bill in your pocket, then circulating the bill by purchasing something. The odds go up if you happen to stop by the banks a few days after that happened, or they go to zero if the bill was not fit for circulation and it was removed by the Federal Reserve.

Also, there's a good chance that a random serial number is not actually valid.
I don't think I ever said "oh both parties are the same and don't really stand for anything."

I think what I said was that both parties try to be just at the 50 percentile mark of voters, since that wins elections, while candidates try to be at the 75th/25th percentile since that wins primaries (and then sprint to the center).

If both parties are at e.g. the 36th and 37th percentile, the 36th percentile party can jump to the 38th and be wildly successful. That's what happened with surveillance. After 9/11, the electorate shifted, and Republicans leapfrogged the Democrats, leading to a lot of success.

Both parties fundamentally want to win first.

Whether that's good or bad depends on what you compare it to. You can view it as lack of spine, or as a democratic check-and-balance.
Almost. This is not as clear cut as it seems.

Because it's saying "criminal monetary amount" but I'm not sure this refers to all compensations. Maybe it's only compensations in the US?

A lot of talks with customers were confidential and probably did not involve only monetary compensation
We should probably consider charging and trying them first.
> You also pay a hefty premium for MacOS if you are just running Linux.

You can’t run Linux on the M1 yet, but will this still true when you can? How does price / performance of the M1 air compare to x86 laptops? (Or the Mac mini vs other small form factor PCs?)
Well, "jailing" a company by suspending its operations is more like starving a living thing. That'd be more like a death penalty.

I do believe if we had any social imagination at all we could think of many many ways to materially punish bad actors. Like forcing a negative dividend, punishing/fining executives or board members personally, etc. People who own and control corporations need to have some skin in the game. Fines that are expended (or worse, appealed in court and subsequently never paid) are, evidently, too far removed.
You make some pretty strong attacks on the state of the art approach to computer vision. Could you please provide citations?

As someone working on neural networks, although not really on computer vision, I do not believe several of the things you said are true.

> > Pornographic images, for instance, are frequently identified not by the presence of particular body parts or structural features, but by the dominance of certain colors in the images

> Neural networks

This is definitely not what state of the art neural networks for computer vision do, although I'm sure there are many models out there that do function in that manner.

We know that neural networks learn to detect higher level features. For example, see the excellent visualizations in Matthew Zeiler and Rob Fergus' Visualizing and Understanding Convolutional Networks paper. (http://arxiv.org/pdf/1311.2901.pdf)

> Neural networks are unsuccessful because they are not detecting anything. They're just making statistical correlations that happen to be right for the specific set of training data they have received.

Are you saying that the correlations they learn aren't true on non-training data?

If so, that is false. Any competent person in ML tests on different data than they train. Well trained neural networks generalize to new data very well. That's why we use them.

> There's no robustness whatsoever. Artificial gullibility.

Are you referring to the adversarial counterexamples section of Szegedy et al's Intriguing properties of neural networks paper? (http://arxiv.org/abs/1312.6199)

This paper shows that one can craft noise which will fool a neural network. But it isn't noise that is found in real life. It's created by an optimization process which is basically looking for ways to fool the network. Basically, it discovers an optical illusion for the network.

(From the manifold perspective, it moves us in a direction perpendicular to the manifold.)
It is revolutionary because its scale and breadth, the way it integrates so many moving parts and procedural generation.

But "inspirational" it's not: procedural generation has been used in games since the dawn of times (the 80s!), and same goes for huge sandbox games (Elite), economic/military simulations (civilization, sim city, star control), etc... if anything, DF it was insipired by some of these games, and merged their gameplay into something unique.

In a way, it´s depressing (although understandable) how AAA titles in the last 20 years have focused on graphical improvements and standardized gameplay, instead of exploring new territory.

The recent resurgence (and commercial success) of indies it's the best thing to have happened to gaming in some time.
Do your son show interest on programming? Or you as a father (and knowing more about the market) want him to become one to increase his probabilities of a stable life?
> Um, yes. It is indeed overtly and primarily political once you have rewritten it to be.

I changed two words - I replaced America with France and "neo-liberalism" with "socialism".
Common question, not stupid at all. The answer in my experience:

2. Give (and Trust)

I'm not a fan of networking, but that's a long story I'm in the process of writing up. For any relationship building, however, the key to 'Profit' (whatever that means for you) is to give first. If you don't want to give - the relationship won't work. And if nobody wants to give ... Well, that's why most networking groups don't achieve 3. Profit
Um, yes. It is indeed overtly and primarily political once you have rewritten it to be.
If I misread, I apologize and welcome correction. You misread me too, so it happens to all of us.

As far as the quoted text, perhaps I'm painting with a wide brush but I see a pattern here of framing BLM solely in terms of violence associated with it. Being that much of this is manufactured by interlopers I would hope that you would recognize how concerning that is.
> Humans have been around for 300,000 years

But your article also says that SA has major issues with the regulation of alcohol consumption, issues that do not exist in a country like the US (according to the article).
CV has zero semantics, and so it can't really be compared to MIDI.

What a given CV "signal" does depends on its destination as much as its source, and in that respect, is somewhat similar to OSC, despite being more "universal" yet simultaneously "semantic free".
My experience in China is a mirror opposite of that, when people know that 90% of business is, at least, shaddy, it gives extreme incentives to keep ones reputation superclean.

Gold supplier/Audited supplier badges on Alibaba were sold for 6 digit sums, and bribes to get out of blacklist were going even higher.
Not using a tiling WM, but especially on small notebooks I'm so desperate for compact decorations and a global Mac-like menu that I've even prolonged life of my old XPS 13 w/ Ubuntu 16.04 using Ubuntu Advantage/extended security maintenance (their old gnome2-based desktop with Unity). At least there's some hope using KDE Plasma eg. [1].

The problem is that a lot of processes still leave a lot to interpretation, or many scenarios have grey areas on how to apply a process. The author mentions it a few sections later, you don't want the processes to have a ton of overhead, rather make it clear the expectations on how to interpret the situation or know they should come to the manager to provide direction.
I think those Cognitive Functions are just Jungian pseudoscience. They are based on work that is closer to fiction than science. Not any better or worse than any psychologically motivated work of fiction - but fiction never the less.

Yes, the JSX is "weird" to me.

But even the pure JS method. I shouldn't have said "barely JS anymore".

I'm just not a huge fan of apps built entirely in JS that spit out markup. I find it so messy personally, but also a giant brain shift too.

The commenter I was replying to wanted a way to take a web site and get it to run as an app. HTML, CSS, JS -- Cordova / Phonegap is one way to do it that requires very little rewriting of your code. At least compared to taking a HTML/CSS/JS web app and rewriting it in React.

Granted, I am no React expert and plan to give it more time soon. But at the 30k ft view, it's simpler to port your app that's already built by using Cordova. If you're going to rewrite anyway, sure, use React Native if you're already a strong JS programmer.
I agree; it wasn't like everyone was marching in line with their heads down and keeping quiet. It was just the predominant way to act in public: headphones in, eyes down, don't disturb anyone.

I didn't even notice it until I moved when people would actually make eye contact, talk, and be polite. You still pass people with their headphones in and eyes down... but they're not the majority in the smaller, less crowded city.
Vim, mostly. The customization is remarkably easy, just copy my .vimrc and .vim out to the server. I have a folder containing all of my dot files which I sync between servers, and a simple bash script which creates softlinks to them in my home directory.

However, I don't do remote development as much anymore since I picked up the habit of using Vagrant locally. Now I can edit the files locally (though still with Vim), and debug them on a local VM. Throw in Salt and Ansible for orchestration, and once I get my local VM working, I know my remote end will work as well.
Also, a few years down the road, the relevant experience you have will weight orders of magnitude more than your degree or PhD.

Right now, your decision should be based mainly on what you would like to do be doing in your professional life, don't sweat too much on your initial salary (which even as a junior developer, it should be at the very least decent).

Just keep practicing (hint, read "How to crack the coding interview"), and you should be fine.
Sounds like a great option. The desks that can rise/lower to standing/sitting positions are pretty damn expensive. Setting up an Ikea standing desk with a barstool so you can stand/sit when you want to sounds optimal and cost effective.

Arabians are a wonderful people, it's the Saudi royal family that is the problem. They are going to become more of a problem as the world is forced to transition away from oil. There are few things more dangerous than dictators that find themselves losing power and support.

I've been programming since before you were born... and this is the most impressive hacking feat I've ever seen.

A single executable, that doubles as a valid ZIP file, that you can put a complete website into, also doubles as a valid executable on Windows, Mac, Linux.

The build infrastructure is a complete reworking of C to make it far more portable than even K&R thought possible.

I probably wouldn't have believed it possible, but here it is!
I am a big fan of geohot and comma.ai. I use Comma two on my toyota ~everyday. Although I am not on the boat of decentralize everything, I am very much on the boat of "Independent things and services that work well with each other". Those independent services can be islands e.g gmail for mail, but if they're operable that is awesome. It creates more M x N choice.

I am not okay with Tesla cars can only be charged at Tesla electric stations. We have wonderful things in world because of that M x N relationship.
Depends on what I'm doing.

1. "Mundane work" - Anything, with or without lyrics. I'm a huge fan of funk, Motown, classic rock, city pop, and more.

2. "Some concentration" - Opera or instrumental music. The oud is one of my favorite instruments and I have a playlist devoted to Middle Eastern music that has lots of oud-focused songs.

3. "More concentration" - Ambient music and atmospheric sounds. For instance, there's an hour-long YT video of the ambient noises from Thief: The Dark Project that I can put on, as well as a few others from other games.

4. "Full concentration" - Silence.
Sometimes I wonder if there are cynical teams in Google or Facebook who implement features and also write public apologies for those features ahead of time.

Maybe the really advanced ones have PR statements that say "Oh, this feature sounds bad but it only really does this thing which is mostly okay" and then another one for "okay yeah you caught us it doesn't just do that okay thing but all the other not okay stuff you worried it did ahead of time".

I'm sure there are entire machine learning teams working out the best way to word these non-apologies and the best schedule for releasing them to best soften the impact of getting caught with their hands in the (literal or figurative) cookie jar.
Is that related in any way to the fact that both symbols can be referred to as a 'pound' symbol, or is it a complete coincidence?
Yes. Same with modular design in general.

Well, this may be considered nitpicking, but that's a category mistake. Such assumptions are prejudices. Discrimination is acting based on those assumptions.
