You're going to get most of these from a simple Google search, if you're going to build a list of what to read you should at least put some effort into it. Currently, this list is missing a lot of history behind deep learning - only 3 papers listed!

This type of purely nuisance punitive lawsuit should wind up biting both Orbitz and the airlines in the ass.

The crucial thing that this website owner must do is keep this story in the media. He will have to make himself available to various news outlets--sometimes on short notice. Of course, he will need to consult with his attorney.

Unless I'm missing something, as long as he can weather the delays, this appears to be a slam dunk.
It's not based on it, but the fact that English takes 1 character and the rest take 2 does resembles the same concept, since English is more common than other languages in general.
With Objective-C they had to do a lot of things in higher level (standard library or the framework). With the new shiny language that had tons of features that are remained unused it makes sense to slim down Cocoa and move things to language level.

A good example is string interpolation. Swift makes it unnecessary to have things like `stringWithFormat` in framework level.
Do you sign any agreement that prohibits only eating one half of a sandwich? Would any such agreement be reasonable if buried in a dense online ordering click-wrap?
your examples weren't 'random' enough. How about between the President and the first lady as they are trying to get some sleep? etc.
probably the same things that are differentiators now, right? performance/efficiency, durability, look, price. The combustion engine doesn't really play into this much today, except in as much as it affects performance, efficiency and durability.
It's possible to opt out. But that does require knowing HIBP exists.
My understanding of strict textualists' arguments (especially Gorsuch), is that they view it as a separation of powers issue.

By only looking at the text of the statute, the Court—which consists of unelected officials with lifetime terms—is trying to limit its power. If the text is unclear, they feel it should fall on elected officials to clarify it.
If they are mechanical, they are probably some special sauce not quite USB-C ports. USB is digital, TRS is analog. (Yes that means standardized adapters have to include a DAC). The delay should be minimal, though.
It's interesting to me that they ruled that APIs are copyrightable, but that copying them is a fair use.

In what circumstances would non-fair-use copyright then apply?
Because it wasn’t GPLv2 at the time, and Sun explicitly disallowed mobile use?
I've used PostGIS + maxmind datasets for my geolocation needs, instead of using SaaS based services, like Google's geolocation API.
You live in a fantasy world. People who're on disability aren't living their best life at 60 or even 30k a year. Their main worry is whether they're going to be able to afford their medicine, rent and food, whether they're going to end up homeless in the near future, and whether they're going to receive their stimulus checks any time soon.
>NOTE: there are people in the world who would laugh at my definition and say that big data starts at 1Pb.

I commend them for having a larger penis ^H^H^H^H^H^H data stack than you.

I thought big data was less about the actual size of the data store and more about where it comes from (typically passive collection from user activity) and how it's accessed (through some kind of large map-reduce style framework) and used (to inform product decisions or learn more about human behavior)?
Do they run SUSE? This is important.
"University of Auckland in Australia" Sigh. New Zealand is its own country.

As a matter of fact, in the '60s and '70s they were trying to blow things up, burn things, and kill people.
Do checkout OPNsense aswell. It's a PfSense fork with a (more liberal and OSI compliant) BSD license instead of one seemingly created by the org itselves, which actually was one of the reasons for the fork in the first place.

(If I remember correctly, this was also the main reason why the main author of m0n0wall strongly advised to check this fork out in his goodbye message when the m0n0wall project closed up shop)

I'm a developer with backend groovy/grails and python web development. I've got a ton of experience with Mobile application development as well as a lot of prior experience with Java, and these days I've moved towards Python for the backend. I worked on a few side projects, most recently I utilized the 21 inc software lib to create a web server that accepts micropayments of bitcoin for beer ratings. I also worked on a search engine for Hacker News for searching your user's upvoted / saved comments.

In that case, it seems like they should be debit cards with a 6-month expiration date rather than checks.

Granted, it's still possible to cash those out and save the money, but there's a little more friction involved.
I find this article disingenuous and misleading to readers. Yes, there are cultural and demographic differences between Italy, China and Germany, but the subtitle claims a level of certainty that the experts interviewed in the piece do not support.

> "The country's high death toll is due to an ageing population, overstretched health system and the way fatalities are reported"

This can be read with a level certainty that minimizes the seriousness of this virus for English speaking readers that may be faced with making life saving choices over the next week.

Further, the Italian expert interviewed __in the article__ underlines the importance of not searching for explanations, because right now it is hard to be certain.

> “It’s too early to make a comparison across Europe,” he says. “We do not have detailed sero-surveillance of the population and we do not know how many asymptomatic people are spreading it.”

Unfortunately the author chooses to make exactly such a comparison in the fourth paragraph!

> In very crude terms, this means that around eight per cent of confirmed coronavirus patients have died in Italy, compared to four per cent in China. By this measure Germany, which has so far identified 13,000 cases and 42 deaths, has a fatality rate of just 0.3 per cent.

This is a moment where we need very concise and accurate information. Even if this article comes from a reputable source, I find it misses that mark.

I find significantly more enlightening the ISS's (Istituto di Sanità Superiore) info-graphics which are prepared quasi-daily. [1] They are translated into english. [2]

That looks kind of cool. Reminds me of hanging in Malawi. It's interesting that all the educational materials I studied from birth to getting in to Cambridge would probably take about 30mb of storage and could fit on pretty much any modern device (excluding science practicals). We didn't have video etc. just ~13 text books and some teachers with chalk/white boards. It's always seemed to me that motivation is probably the biggest thing. A kid with a photocopied text book who is enthusiastic about reading it and doing the exercises will probably do better than a similar one with all the facilities who is unmotivated.
I'm tired of seeing civility and toxicity being mixed up. Blogs about Linus is just one example of this type of discourse, which comflate being nice and civil with mysoginy, racism, and the like.

Linus is not toxik.

Furthermore, there's this notion that being nice is a free, costless attitude. Just as Nick Coghlan himself admits, being nice is hard and demand energy and time. All things that come in limited quantity. There is also an unspoken assumption in these rant that Linus is constantly being a bully. It's just not true. The fact of the matter is, in a forum, you need to be able to use a large range of attitude to deal with the wide range of people and contribution. You can nicely rebute someone on a subtle topic. It's wasted time to try to be subtle about boneheaded ideas. If you can't go termonuclear from times to times, then your opinions get muddled. The fact is, it is hard to convey the level of opposition by text alone. Using bluntness works. You also have to deal with really disruptive people.

You just can't rule out never to be uncivil. It's a tool, to be wielded when needed. There is hypocrisy in demanding not to be called an idiot when you are.
You have it backwards. The punishment is must be there as a deterrent, regardless of the possibility of rehabilitation.

Otherwise nobody would care whatever a judge decides.

I suspect that Rod Burstall was more interested in conceptual clarity than compactness. I often heard him say "Efficiency is the enemy of clarity". Of course he was probably referring to code, but he might have applied the same thought to language syntax.
Why what? Why not to confuse multiple roads leading to the same destination as going to different places?!? Because they all go to the same place!
Same. If this app does indeed make iso drawings easier whatever tools it has for that should be a lot more prominent in the UI.
> Apparently it doesn't, markets are down, in spite of the promise of infinite money.

All of the funny money in the world won't answer these questions:

1. will a given firm exist in 12-24 months?

2. will anyone want to buy anything from that firm (or that firm's customers)?

3. when will anyone want to buy anything that is not the roof over their head, food or toilet paper?
Because for some things, i'm ready to pay. Honestly, two weeks ago, i would have paid a lot for a 2 hours hands-down training on polymorphic models. For other things (a favor, a beer with friends tonight), i wouldn't pay anything - obviously. So I figured i'd give the option.
Not that I agree with article, but you have to figure that if this were to happen, at least 50% of Uber users would leave the platform, so they'd really only need a service that can support 10% or less of Twitter's current load.
I did recently buy a HE washer to replace the junker that came with the house. It may just be that I live a (mostly) white collar lifestyle, but I do make a mess of clothes I wear for renovation and yard work or for camping.

So far, the new washer hasn't given me any issues with getting things clean. The only adjustment I had to make was learning to use much less detergent than I was used to.

There are also just two people in the house and no kids, so perhaps it's more of an issue with larger loads or more grass stains, etc.
Marx presented this idea back in the 1860s. He phrased it a little differently and built the idea up from the idea of exchanging commodities.

In Marx's text, he discusses the history of commodity exchange, how people usually exchanged Commodities for Money which they exchanged back into other Commodities they needed. (E.g. I'll sell you my wool for coin, which I can use to buy food.) He called this CMC exchange. (Commodity-Money-Commodity).

This gave rise to people who had hoards of money, and could invert the exchange -- Money into Commodities into Money + delta Money. He called this MCM exchange (Money-Commodity-Money), and posited that it could only exist if the second M was larger than the first -- why turn your money into commodities and back into money if you weren't going to get more money as a result? So it must be that if MCM exchange exists, then it must be MC(M+∆M). Once sufficient hoards are accumulated, they will continue to accumulate.

Marx, of course, carries on with his own opinions about what to do with this and how society should be structured. He also bases his ideas not on data like Piketty, but on building up a model of a Capitalist economy from principles.

I think it's interesting to see this line of argument presented historically and compare/contrast that with the more data driven analysis we see in Piketty. (No matter how you feel about the rest of Marx's work.)

Edit: Downvotes? I feel like I'm presenting a factual response to the parent poster. I know it contains the word 'Marx', but I'm not diving into socialism/communism elements of his work, but rather the analytical dialectic of his critique of capitalism as a system.
Quote from Elon Musk: "If PayPal had executed the plan that I wanted to execute on, I think it would probably be the most valuable company in the world".
I'm sorry you're just wrong about that though.

On average, the price per square foot of housing in the US is exactly the same now as it was in the 1970s, on an inflation adjusted basis. [1] In major metros, that number is higher, because of city policy, but on average, the number is flat. That means on an inflation adjusted basis in rural areas houses are cheaper per square foot.

Once you take into account that interest rates are about 1/5th of what they were back then, it's clear, housing is actually more affordable now than it ever was (per square foot).

Yes, zoning matters in rural areas. Minimum size rules, minimum setback rules -- all sorts of code changes -- have conspired alongside the 20% decrease in average family size and the changing tastes for more space, to make houses twice as big. Same price per square foot -- or lower! -- Twice as big. Twice as expensive.

I was wrong to say it has "nothing" to do with it, but it is by far not the dominant force as evidenced by the numbers.

If you're unhappy about poor folks not being able to afford the houses that's again social policy not monetary policy. I am too. But inflation isn't why.

By all means have at those windmills though, and please, cite your sources so we can have a debate on facts.

[edit] You're missing my point. Pricing in metros is more expensive because of council policy. Pricing outside the city is higher because they're twice as big. End of story. Please CITE YOUR SOURCES. This. Is. Not. Inflation.

You having a worse quality of life is not inflation.

Yes, white flight may or may not contribute to it. That's not Fed policy. That's social policy. And that's my point.

Sorry, but it's bonkers that you need to follow 6 complex steps (or use a 3rd party software to do it), in order to stop your OS from doing something it shouldn't be doing in the first place. A computer should never decide on its own to turn itself off.

I'm not going to let Mac off the hook either. You have to deliberately choose to not have it "automatically update" itself, and it keeps begging you to turn that function on.

> And tell me again why lobbying is legal

The 1st Amendment:

Congress shall make no law [...] abridging [...] the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

This is the core idea, but obviously the concept of "lobbying" embodies a lot more than just assembly and petitioning in current usage.

I do think it is important to realize that we do have a right to advocate for change. Laws that regulate or curtain "lobbying" need to be carefully crafted to avoid infringing on these rights.
I got snagged in one of their dark patterns. American living abroad, start with turbotax, include foreign bank information and schedule 2555. Get all the way to then end. "we see you're filing income from abroad. You will need to upgrade to TT Deluxe for $60"

These jobs are more prevalent and easier to snag than you think. I lived in Beijing when I was 21 and after 2 months and with the Chinese proficiency of a 2 year-old, I was working directly with the president of what is now a publicly-traded (NASDAQ) company as a "consultant". Paid my rent for a year.

In fact you aren't allowed to leave the country if the state doesn't allow it. You equate two concepts together because the words are similar (lord and landlord) but that's childish. It's obvious a lord back in the is much closet to a governments then a landlord.
Oh, you mean localcdn is not yet ready?
it allows to generate code at basically every scope and to create your own "base language elements" like "struct", "class". AFAIK D does not allow for this, does it ?

There's this famous scene in "The life of Brian" where they gather round to stone an old man to death because he said "Jehova". The judge, in speaking to the condemned, himself mentions the word "Jehova" and promptly gets stones thrown at him by all the wom---, uh, men in the audience.

This scene immediately comes to mind because in the film it is obviously ridiculous and everybody can see that. The judge had no other way to express himself without going through some weird verbal contortions. He could, I suppose, have said "Look, he said the J-word!" but that probably was too ridiculous a thought even for Monty Python. He wasn't using the word maliciously, he reported a fact, yet he was in the end seen to be no better than the convict himself.

I wonder if the person who reported the Times journalist to the editor-in-chief also said "Look, he said $badword", and was himself promptly fired.

My point is, every individual person who looks at that situation this way will probably find it comical or at least clearly not to be a firing offence. The Times itself has printed the word in question many times in its reporting, even in recent times. Do they now get to fire themselves, retroactively, as seems to be so en vogue these days? Of course not. Will they print apologies for printing $badword in their paper as recently as 2019? Unlikely.

It is also plainly obvious that "bans on words" that go so far as to be "bans on thoughts" can therefore never serve any good purpose and are a hallmark of totalitarianism.

So why does this keep happening? Why are people getting fired for Monty-Python-level "offences"? Has reality (once again) surpassed satire? Are people getting stupider, weirder, more irrational? Or is there something else at play here?

My point is, most individuals for themselves will recognise the behaviour here as "not horrible", not worthy of a career-death sentence, and judge accordingly, even if only preserve a modicum of nuance and differentiation in handing out sentences. Nobody will probably question the importance of having some steps available inbetween "You are innocent" and "You shall be put to death".

Nobody disputes that the reporter didn't use the word in any bad way; on the contrary, it was used to help and advise someone, a 12 year old student, on the matter: "Look here, young child, it's better if you don't say Jehova". Done. Stoned to death.

Even the editor-in-chief, Baquet, initially said the same in a staff memo: There was no bad intent, all is well. A sane, tempered reaction, level-headed analysis, case closed. Then a few days passed, some meetings happened, he changed his mind and the journalist got fired. Say what?

The more I think about it, the more confused I am, like I am missing a big piece of the puzzle here. Why does this keep happening? Why are people acting like they have been "neuralyzed", Men in Black-style? What an odd situation.
