What did the testimony from the women who came forward and described the things he had done to them lead you to believe?

Personally I thought it was just a stupid rather vulgar boast when I first heard the line. Then we heard from victims... who's testimonials changed my opinion quite easily. It's one thing to be the sort of idiot that says such things... it's another thing entirely to do them.

Also since I'm not even an American I have no inherent bias towards either end of the stupidly partisan political spectrum that is D vs R in the US of A

Personally I think George Washington was completely correct in his characterisation of political parties in his farewell address. [1] (20 to 25 ) and why he hoped they would never be formed in America.

The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty.

GrubHub CEO Says People Who Support Trump Have No Place in His Company
I can see why you as a consumer might not want hardware that you can't install custom software on. I can see why it might not be the best solution for legitimate non-nefarious engineering problems as well. What I've never related to, however, is the application of a moral dimension to someone selling such a thing.

I'm all in favor of pragmatic arguments for openness and hackability for the sake of good engineering, transparency, generosity, customer expectations, etc. Those are all good things. I've never gotten the sense that the absence of those things are necessarily evil, however. You clearly do, based on your choice of words.

Maybe that's the difference between the (for lack of a better term) BSD philosophy vs. RMS. The BSD (permissive?) philosophy seems rooted in the sense that sharing is a virtue, and not sharing is neutral (not necessarily evil). RMS' philosophy has always felt like, sharing is neutral, and not sharing is evil.

It's a gross generalization, but copyleft vs. permissive reminds me of western vs. eastern religions. The FSF philosophy is defined by a large number of very strict thou shalt nots, defined as carefully and precisely as possible. Permissive licenses like BSD/MIT/Artistic/Apache/etc. are defined by their lack of conditions, which usually just amount to "do whatever you want, but you can't sue the author".

Similarly, one of the ways western vs. eastern religions (from the outside looking in, at least) feel different is the focus on not being evil, by being aware of all of the behavioral laws you shouldn't violate, vs. the focus on trying to attain enlightenment by trying to elevate yourself. Stamping out bad behavior vs. encouraging good behavior. I see the merits of both, but for whatever reason the latter has always been much more relatable for me. I wonder if an individual's preference of copyleft vs. permissive is correlated with whether they think humans are inherently evil, vs. humans being inherently good or neutral. As cynical and pessimistic as I feel about humanity sometimes, deep down I do have a conviction that people are inherently good. It might be naive but I've never been able to totally shake it.

Prison-Go-Round: Rotary Jails Spin on Axis to Let Inmates Enter and Exit
There's a distinct difference between blaming scalpers for a general shortage of supply and holding them accountable for detestable profiteering behavior.

The point of bringing up the 15c instance was to highlight the apparent assumption that manufacturer supply always trend consumer demand. A large portion of the user community knew in advance that the 15c would be limited release...but so did scalpers as hundreds of units were immediately relisted at super-inflated prices on zero-day. In the end, it's the user community for which the product was intending to target who ultimately loses...which inflames the compromise that I've made in my mind between a legit business incentive to make a fair profit and an underlying hacker ethos.

Furthermore, scalpers have nothing invested in the creation of the end-product, nor do they ever intend to use it, nor is there any value added to their super-inflated relist price, nor do they share in the business risk of bring the product to market. Profiteering is their strict modus operandi. Although it's certainly delusional to think that these bad apples could ever be done away with completely, I think it's equally asinine to point fingers at an OEM (who has invested in and owns the IP rights) without having first excercised due diligence in holding scalpers who are demonstrably contributing to the supply problem publicly accountable for their actions, if only on a moral note. The problem becomes even more exacerbated when technology enables independent scalpers to gain critical mass on a scale that can nerf an entire production lot. It's unfortunate that the only real action the public can take is inaction against scalper relists...it's even more unfortunate that real consequences are practically nonexistent.

What isn't being acknowledged is the very real risk that any company faces with bringing a hardware product to market at scale. Saturate the market with the intent of deterring scalpers and your unsold investment sits in a storage warehouse costing you untold amounts collecting dust. Increase unit cost on the next product lot and suffer consumer outrage. Set the initial cost beyond reasonable profit and you're in price gouging territory. Assuming a sustainable business model, where's the incentive? Again, it's the user community who ultimately loses to the true vectoralist scalper.

The food vs. yacht analogy appears to dismiss reality. In a zero-sum game, the unit cost of a yacht commands a ballpark 6-8 orders of magnitude delta over food. As a society, we indirectly deny poor people yachts on the merit of economic sensibility, not because it's a social luxury; simply replace yacht with a scaleable luxury like cell phone or computer. The notion of an alternative "affordable yacht" is an oxymoron and subjectively exclusive to the wealthy.

The key to rational thought is not just logic and reasoning, because both rely on axioms and information. You need to make sure you're getting the correct data and proceeding from sound foundations. Thats where the skepticism comes in -- double and triple check your sources.

I'm going to be straight here -- what are your sources?

I mean try not to take this too defensively, but you pegged Reagan as a political outsider when arguing for trump. You think an investigation is the same as a conviction. You think that political correctness is the substantive issue difference between HRC and Trump. None of these things are true. In fact, they are so obviously not true that I have to wonder about your rationality.

> may be a handful of microoperations merged in with a stream of other instructions.

It may indeed in theory, but most of the time in real-world it won't. And BTW - let's not forget about implicit costs of being unable to inline (which can be huuuuuge). Speaking of the real-world - we've just got our article accepted, presenting supposedly the fastest universal hashing function as of today (in spite of math being more heavy compared to the existing ones) - and the numbers in the OP are consistent with our real-world experiences while we were optimising it (well, within an order of magnitude at least).

> but there is a tone of precision and certainty to them that is a bit deceptive.

OP: "Last but not least, a word of caution: all the estimates here are just indications of the order of magnitude".

> Talking about how much an operation costs is pointless; build things one way, measure that, then make the smallest change possible and measure that.

Sure. The problem is that almost-nobody has time to do it in real-world projects. Which leads to even cruder estimates (such as "virtual function calls costs are negligible, regardless of the number of times they're called") being used - causing lots of crazily inefficient programs. IMO, OP is a reasonable middle ground between an all-out quasi-stationary testing and even worse guesstimates ;-).
I believe that photogrammetry can reconstruct 3D geometry, especially with the help of range sensors like the article mentions. The process results in 3D information like triangle meshes in addition to 2d images.

Why is machine learning ‘hard’?
Agreed! I'd like to see a wide variety of ever-improving open source curricula, and students given minimal structure in their day -- maybe two hours max of formal lecture in core subjects, three hours for socializing / lunch / exercise / play, and most importantly three plus hours of self-directed learning time. Teachers would act more as supervisors and check in frequently to give feedback and gauge their student's progress.

Unfortunately American schools are moving in the opposite direction, with massive emphasis on teacher evaluations, discipline, standardized testing, and about 20 minutes daily of highly supervised and sanitized recess (source: twelve years attending public schools and one year more recently working in one).

Yesterday I got myself enthused for personalized intelligent agents, user-controlled systems that would be a generalized filtering and mediation point for communications. A concrete example is to take a user's Facebook feed and automatically detox it: scrub it of the ads, content marketing, and fake news, and reprioritize the remaining content in a way heuristically believed to aid user well-being, rather than engagement metrics.

A polished, credible implementation of that would mark the beginning of a new marketplace centered on agent services that prey on existing Web companies and tear open their data silos and adtech, one user at a time.

But what ultimately stops me from further consideration is that the level of AI know-how needed to do this is not a commodity at this time - you'd need a full team of top talent, and it probably wouldn't be cheap/fast/customizable/secure enough for users if done now. I think it will happen though, the signs of it happening are gradually emerging, and when it does, watch out!
Because if you put a framework as complete as Rails on Elixir it would probably only be marginally faster anyway.

Great to see 360 web video for once. I hate YouTube's "you need Chrome for this". My answer to that is "no Google, you need cross-browser 360 video".

I tried the NYT video on iOS Safari and while it worked, it was a bad experience. When swiping up to look up and down, the whole page scrolled instead of the video pitching up/down. The video was choppy too. I'm impressed they got it working on iOS Safari though. Apple would prefer you repeat the phrase "there's an app for that", and it's no surprise their browser well short of its potential for handling such things.

Yes, but he can stay long enough to train his American replacement.

Is this unjust? It's far less unjust than making American citizens train their replacements and then sending them to the unemployment line.

The way it worked in the USSR was actually more like: you put your name on the list to buy a car. The local party boss' cousin wants a car, too, and he doesn't have to wait on the list, he gets the car that's being manufactured. And the factory director's brother wants a car, too. And his nephew. And the guy he is trading cars to for steel to make more cars. And that guy's cousin wants a car, too. All these people get to skip ahead of you on the list, because they have better connections than you do. So you wait ten years or so for an ordinary car.
