I lived in a quad unit for awhile. Basically a bedroom and a bathroom connected to a kitchen shared by 3 other people.

I was happier there than in a 2 bedroom apartment. Cleaning the whole place took 15 minutes, and the outdoors were always just a few steps away.

In a big place I'd feel somewhat trapped. It was too nice to just lounge around that it gave me an excuse not to go outside.
Also coins held in a single address can have multiple owners -- e.g. custodial funds.
The text on the bottom more or less explains why this kind of analysis is almost worthless:

Due to the nature of easy & anonymous address creation, and corporate account management inherent to Bitcoin & the companies in the ecosystem, estimating the actual number of unique bitcoin holders as opposed to addresses is unfortunately much more difficult — & not something we can glean from observing its blockchain alone.

Addresses can not only overstate user numbers when single people unknowingly control numerous addresses, but also understate user numbers when single addresses hold the funds of numerous unknown people, like an exchange who may control balances in a traditional database.
There was a good article about this in the April 2004 issue of Scientific American (paywalled, unfortunately; the name of the article is "Evolution Encoded"). It's about how similar gene sequences result in similar proteins, so that mutations don't necessarily result in death.

> If the output examples we are training on are true, the ML algorithm won't adopt any incorrect biases.

This is rarely the case when working wtih real data, and thus inspecting whether our models are biased against protected classes is probably one of the most important things an ML practitioner should do.
Thanks for the feedback. It might make sense to remove the free trial then because the main feature in it is just parts requests which people can now test with this new InstaPart feature.
Well, the difficult part still remains to get the actual devices! And in the quantities you need them in, and before you need to ship!

Having those symbols for circuit design is nice, but really a trivial problem in comparison.
I would encourage you to give Ulysses another go. I think there are a few chapters that are hard going at the start that put people off, but after about the third or fourth chapter it is a bit more digestible. Especially the one where he's getting the carriage to the graveyard. Another thing I found helpful was to read an edition with lots of footnotes explaining various obscure passages. You can even look up bits you find confusing online. It's more work than reading your average novel I'll grant you, but after finishing it every other novel I've read really made me appreciate the richness of the language in Ulysses.

> Techies are not an ethnic group. No one goes to SOMA to try the delicious techie food.

They sure as heck try to go to SOMA to recruit technical people and try to get technical advice. How is that any less of a tribe than a specific ethnicity. One tribe has spaghetti, one has dim sum, and the other has layers upon layers of technical expertise.

> The issue is an economically diverse city becoming polarized into a theme park and bedroom community for high earners, and a bunch of poor enclaves, with a service sector that has to commute in from outside the city.

Define economically diverse. The only reason less affluent people can't live in the city is because of the NIMBYism of SF residents, and the fact that they believe real estate should be a good financial investment.

A few decades of compound interest later, you get to where we're at, where either you have to be incredibly wealthy or lived here for a long time to afford anything.
Isn't that standard practice? For example, after the Netflix free 1-month trial, you immediately get charged for the upcoming month. So isn't it up to the customer to make sure he/she doesn't break the terms of the trial i.e. try it for "too long"?
What are the "formal rules" of AAVE?
A perhaps better example: Nobody was able to verify Mochizuki's proof of the abc conjecture, because the first step was to spend a decade inventing an entirely new branch of mathematics.

There are a lot of semi-coherent proofs for famous conjectures that appear from time to time on the arxiv, with absolutely unknown quality. P ?= NP is a popular topic.

Is "proprietary patent-pending technology" really necessary? It's the kind of phrasing seen on uninteresting product trying to pretend they're interesting (ex: "Our Proprietary Patent-Pending Technology Makes Our Product So Great This Single Mom Can't Even Talk About It. Discover Now For $99.99")
My primary criticism was that you haven't shown that tech in the US is any different in this regard than other fields. I again assert that you (and I) have heard of these case primarily because we are in tech.

It is indeed, correct. The annealing example I linked is from his team (here's another one with full citation with Martinis at the end there [0]). And if you want further proof that Martinis and the Google Quantum team are pursing quantum annealing look no further than the Adiabtic Quantum Computing Conference that was held this summer where their team held several talks including "Building Quantum Annealer v2.0" [1].

And I didn't touch on your earlier (erroneous) comment on the scientific community's perception of D-Wave, but I think it needs to be said that in actual professional circles the research they're performing isn't met with as much derision as they seem to garner in these more causally informed settings. It's hyped and a difficult subject to understand, so that's fair, but I suggest really informing yourself if you're going to go out there and make the claims you're making.

Like Kant, Hegel believed that the greatest good was free will, but he went further in clarifying what freedom might involve. For Hegel, freedom is impossible without the self having some space of autonomy where it can be in a reflective relation with itself. As he put it:

… freedom is this: to be with oneself in the other.
Here the self is not isolated, but endlessly being mediated through the world: the world of other things and people, and of its past self and actions. But it can be free if it comes to grasp such processes as its own – related to its goals and not those of others. It is just this that becomes harder to sustain under surveillance capitalism.

Sure, as a standalone graphics card for gaming it's low end.

But as an accelerator to a CPU, it seems like a phenomenally underutilized resource. It has a direct connection to RAM, a 128MB cache, and the high tier can do over a TFlop/s[1]. For use cases like Ben mentioned of rotating a RAW file that fits in this cache, it's almost a perfect fit, yet almost no-one would think of using it so it stays dark.

Why is this? Not too many years ago it would have been thought insane to have a TFlop of unused capability on die, and now it's a non-story. I don't think it's because we have no use for the speed-up. Rather I think that the tooling just isn't there for most programmers to be able to make use of it.

Yes, but you can actually use money to make yourself happier. Studies have shown that spending it on someone else will increase your own happiness.

Carbon fiber frames can be surprisingly fragile, especially when subjected to forces they weren't specifically designed to withstand, such as being crushed inwards from the sides.

Vanmoof (the company in the article) seems to specialize in aluminum commuter bikes though, which should be reasonably robust. Aluminum is a wee bit brittle, but it's a lot more burly than carbon fiber. As such, I suspect the frames aren't the problem. It's probably what's bolted onto the frames. Shifters, pedals, fenders, etc. can all bend/break if a package is given "UPS special" treatment.
I ordered expensive-ish tower speakers that were shipped FedEx Ground. When the driver arrived, I was present to give him a hand getting them off the truck. Standing about 5 feet tall, he decided "on their side" would be easier -- and proceeded to simply knock them over. My incredulity was met with a "if you think that's bad, you should see how they're handled at the warehouse". Fine. I understand.

Or are they all answering calls from robodiallers?

Honestly I'm not sure. I worked at a bike shop and we would box and ship a bike for $50. I sold and shipped probably 4 bikes when I worked there and they all were received without so much as a scratch.

I'd lay this one on the bike company. I'm guessing they didn't have big enough boxes for cardboard to sit between the bike and the outer box, or didn't add enough padding around the tubes or some combination of both.
With the smallest bit of planning you can just never drop any box.

I honestly wouldn't expect a packaged bicycle to survive a 3 foot drop; the air in the tires does a lot of the work when you are riding it, in the package you might accidentally drop much of the load on a sensitive point or whatever.

I get that you are arguing they should package the bike to your expectations so that it shouldn't matter if you drop the package 3 feet onto the most sensitive point, but I wonder why you expect them to accurately read your mind instead of skimping on packing material.

"It’s puzzling we are not already more angry about this transformation"

I don't think it is. We are the 1% who understand tech enough to make a rational choice of which services to use or avoid, use a VPN, ublock etc to lessen our exposure to personally acceptable levels. We're aware that some tracking goes on fingerprinting. The article seems to be written by the 1% for the 1%. The people who read these sorts of articles and have read enough to know the basics of tracking, retargeting, bubbling, IoT, surveillance, Snowden etc.

For the rest, and I include nearly all "tech natives" like our kid's generation, and plenty who should know better, if an app get's mentioned it's installed and the permissions OK'd, then they run it, now they wonder what it is and if it's any good. If you try and increase awareness they're about as interested as they were in maths lessons (or whatever your most hated thing was). When Snowden was fresh and being discussed it was "but terrorists", "but safety" and "I don't care if NSA read my pizza orders and stupid texts". Completely missing the point then.

Their idea of a complex password is usually laughable going on friends and family tech support. No amount of hinting gets it acceptable, or willing to use a manager.

IoT is cute light bulbs, smart baby monitors and neat gadgets. No realisation that the security of most is shit, that a surprising amount of cams are online, or what it means to put something on the network.

The transformation isn't realised. The implications aren't either. Most people's only awareness of bubble effects is wondering why they've seen no FB posts from their sister in ages (Edgerank decided they weren't worthy). There's no awareness of it in search, or news, or youtube and assume, no matter how skewed their results are, that what they see is the "truth". If there's a bubble effect for extremist and conspiracy theorists too, we should maybe be concerned.

I gave up even trying to educate on this stuff.

"What’s needed is more collective reflection on the costs of capitalism’s new data relations for our very possibilities of ethical life."

It's just very difficult to hate white people in general. There's so many of them, you can't help meeting great ones all the time.
I find Pynchon much more entertaining to read than Joyce. If he's telling a joke, the reader is certainly in on it; it's pretty clear he takes himself only as seriously as he should.
I find it very likely that it has more to do with the word "fantastic" than the word "fucking". "Fanta-fucking-stic" sounds very awkward.
If they were already doing their best, a picture on the side of the box wouldn't improve their performance.
I strongly contend that there very likely has not been a decline in the give-a-damn factor. My experience is that it really hasn't ever been too high. Just look at cartoons 50 years ago, and packages getting wrecked en route is a staple joke; the jokes were rarely obscure, but often topical. There is always a few great operators, but mostly you just fix you processes so people default to failure less. Hence hacks like the TV stamp.

But the answer is (as always) more automation. Mind, this can lead to really neat edge cases where you accidentally build a package smashing factory. But in general repeatability (machine) beats out diligence (people) every time.

You just have to, you know, pay for it. The cost benefit analysis probably strongly favors the marked box in this case.

Invest in startups in foreign countries, particularly 'non-western' countries.

You seem to think that maintaining a polite level in discourse amounts to be censorship.

Curiously, we never feel the need to make these hyperbolic examples in the highest levels of discourse (be they academic or political), and yet somehow feel incredibly strongly about allowing them on internet sites.

Attempting to evoke violence, sexual assault and child abuse in discourse about something as abstract as the proper rules for radio light interpretation is not a positive addition.

We have plenty of opportunities to actually discuss said topics and no dearth of extreme metaphors to reach for to extend arguments to the absurd. We need not pretend this speech is vital for this community. Eroding the bulwark that protects this low and lazy standard as discourse is a net good for the community.

Perhaps maybe the author should have compared the practice to how Germans correlate re-naturalozed jewish citizens with health care use and reporting them for it, a quiet but severe controversy for that country.

Something I like about working in Sydney, Australia is that the teams I have been in are very ethnically diverse - people from all continents, countless countries. Also age diversity is good. Although still not as many women in tech roles unfortunately.

What kind of exercises? If you're not doing e.g. deadlifts, rows, facepulls, squats, etc., you're likely wasting your time.

Exactly how is it cheating? As long as the service clearly states upfront that your card will be charged at the end of your trial, it's the user's decision whether or not to proceed.

I'd argue that it would add some amount of inconvenience to the user, and lower conversion rates as a result, if the user has to pay to continue using the service.
I think one of the things that is incorrect in this article is the software used to design asics (Custom Chips). Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor, Magma (when it was around) all made pretty good tools. The thing is the weren't free. Also you had to use TCL, but they could take rtl (Verilog aka the design language) to GDS (what gets fabbed). Heck there always seemed to be some startup that claimed they came up with a better routing tool or a better timing tool. They weren't super complicated to use. If you had too many gates you had to script a bunch of hacks, but it isn't too hard.
