It's a bit confusing, but I don't think this list is supposed to be a list of tasks we can do now. I think it's a list of well-defined (ish) tasks that are milestones to look out for in the future.

Or something like that anyway. It's not well explained.
This is all about lobbying politicians. Very hard to understand why they want to set aside separate bandwidth for different sorts of media, when Internet access would provide all we needed.

We have digital radio, digital television broadcast, separate emergency frequencies and so goes the list.

What about gathering around standard that work and are already in place? What about making cell phone and Internet connectivity more robust?

But no. Let's throw billions in taxes down the drain. For instance: The emergency network fails when there's a storm. Then we're back to RHF!

From the inhabitant perspective, this is all a power party. A few people with high positions get to make big decisions and pat each other's back. I'm sure the CEOs of the businesses getting the contracts are good at patting backs too.

Good thing we already pay so much taxes we don't even notice the difference.

Except for the bumpy roads and understaffed elderly homes.

I'm a U.S. citizen, and although there are many charities that are reputable and good works. I feel that in light of a lot of the advancements in technology that civil liberties are of penultimate importance moving forward.

In that, I support the ACLU, NRA and EFF. I can't speak for anyone but myself here. I feel that each of the three charities cover part of the overall need, so all are truly needed.

> What's the problem with pathfinding in Warzone?

I haven't looked at the algorithm so can't explain what's going wrong from that side. But essentially, a lot of warzone maps have tight corridors that only barely fit 2-3 units side by side. A big part of the game is the tactical squadrons where you have a commander and assign armies to them, and then you can configure the army so units automatically retreat to repair at a certain damage threshold. So it's normal to have a huge army advancing and at the same time have a smaller number of units automatically retreating through the same corridor. When a unit's calculated path is blocked by another unit, they'll both sort of wiggle around turning a bit in any direction and advancing, doing this dance until they break free. This takes a long enough time that your damaged retreating units are dead by the time the gridlock is resolved.

This was also a problem in the original codebase, but it feels like it's a lot worse with the current wz2100 code.
But, they have all those blue and green emblems on the back. :/

It feels like the kind of pain when you injure your testicles, but you feel it in your eyes. It is similar to the kind of pain you feel when you press your thumb and index finger between the bones in your forearm (under your wrist).
Occam's razor would say that's an unneeded assumption (that there's a defense mechanism in the eyes) to explain observed results.

There are no results which say that our eyes are safer outside.

If you meant:
"if we're safer outside
then
if we've a defense mechanism
then we'd be safe
"

That's already two "If"s deep and not a reasonable position to take :)
Probably not, but you'd be surprised how many will prefer an app over the website, even if it's exactly the same interface.
How do you ground a light bulb, and a motor inside a plastic case?

Ground is for safety in AC, when there is a short the ground should take the current away resulting in power loss through the earth that in turn makes the breaker flip. Without grounding the wire that is exposed and touching something will (depending on material etc.) not transfer any current because of too high resistance, then as you touch it it will shock you and then the breaker will go off.
(A loss power breaker, not a draw power breaker)

True, they are aware and monitor for it. Just pointing out that it's not a super weird thing to happen with a NN. In fact it's a super normal thing that has to be continuously monitored.

Intel is not leading by example. They are trying to make up new markets and push OEMS to it. The core of Intel is used to the "WinTel" generation where they could strong arm vendors into doing whatever they want. They are having a hard time moving away from that and getting stronger pushback from vendors.

And their reference devices are generally poor...it's not hard for OEM's to beat them.

note - I was an intel employee, but on the software side.

It's cool that people are starting to work on Starcraft 2 AIs but the game is kind of dead so competition at the top isn't going to be as strong as it is in more popular games. Also I think Dota presents a much more interesting and more difficult challenge for AI makers.

>Capitalism has already been around forever :)

Only if you define it in a way which is so loose as to be tautological.

There have been a wide variety of resource allocation mechanisms throughout history, and it wasn't until relatively recently that any of them could really be described as "Capitalism".

> clearly it being normal in the past is part of what drives it now

It's not clear, it's just a theory.

I don't know what criteria you have for "solved", but mine, in the context of equality, is "the problem is no worse for men than women", on average - Though definitions of 'sexism' and 'equality' also change, making this a complicated issue (see https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2016/10/1... )

> Saying sexism is a solved issue

I didn't say this, I'd at least define "solved". You claimed various things, the burden of proof is on you.

> is like saying racism is a solved

not really, they are different.

> just because it's far better than it used to be and we have general acceptance it's a bad thing doesn't mean it's gone.

It doesn't mean it isn't gone either; and thus we establish that we cannot infer the current state of society from the historical state of society ( unless you're a fan of Marx ;-> ).

> I never said they did - you are doing exactly what I discuss

No I didn't, i just gave examples illustrating my point. There's little else for me to do since you didn't give any examples yourself.
Again, you made a claim (issues affecting women more), why not back it up? Or clarify which issues.

> disproportionate affect on women

Ok, let's focus on rape. How does rape law disproportionately affect women?

> You literally just did it

I just did what? I thought I was arguing with you - do you see yourself as representative of feminism?

> I don't think the two are at all at odds.

What if some feminist ideologies propagate ideas harmful to men?

> I have never seen the "Geek Feminism Wiki"

fair enough.

> the only time that women's rights will come at the expense of men's is when men's rights are unequal

This isn't always the case. law regarding reproductive rights will never be "equal" because the sexes have different relationships to the issue. You have to assume some definition of equality first.

In any case, I find you slave/master analogy to be more than a little loaded...

> We are not at a point of gender equality yet

Which definition of equality? The "wage gap" demonstrates inequality for some, not so for others (equality of consequence vs opportunity).

> We are not at a point of gender equality yet

This is over simplistic. There is no linear 'equality' meter justifying specific cases of feminist indifference. Give me examples.

If your father punched me in the face yesterday, can I punch you in the face today? On average, our families are equal.

Problem here is though, you're just a single opinion in a commitee. As the poster stated in their second post, one of the other members mentioned how insane it was they voted to not hire. That could easily be you, and with how massive a company Google is, with I'm guessing dozens of comittee's that exchange people, its probably within the realm of possibility.

Sincere question: do you really have the feeling the over cost is worth it? Do you do this for EVERY external library you're using?
That's probably fair, but beej's guide corrupted me. It's just too user-friendly. I'll look around again for the next project though.
Interesting. I'll agree that this points to the organization having a preference in the outcome here.

However, the original post that started this thread seemed to indicate that their data was suspect due to their bias. I remain very skeptical of this, given that their goal is to collect all the political ads and speeches, regardless of party or candidate. Time will tell I guess, but until we have indications otherwise I will continue to consider the Internet Archive's library a reliable source of unbiased information.
Are users' Dropbox creds (password, optional 2FA) in 1Password?

Do you see AgileBits' point about that?

If your own creds are able to use more than the app folder, and if your threat is Agile Bits binary, the 1P app folder permissions will do nothing, the evil binary will just use your full creds.

Sounds like clamoring for them to reduce a bunch of use cases in service of security theater.

There used to be several commercial alternatives in this space (browser graph drawing): jgraph/mxgraph, tom sawyer, yworks (yed) had a browser library. It's curious that these never get discussed when this topic comes up. It's been a few years, so they may no longer around. The hard part of graph visualization has always been the layout algorithms. I tend to think that the ubiquity of graphviz has been an impediment in this area (imo)
IMHO the wording of point 12 is a silly way to pretend that Alphago has not completely achieved its goal. Human players learn Go using manuals that compile the experiences of millions of games. The fact that Alphago can use directly huge collections of games is not very relevant for its success.

The Doppler effect would only help with a moving source or target, so probably not.

I would guess that what was meant was using two (or more) frequencies at the same time would produce harmonics that reinforce and cancel the combined signal at set distances from the source that can be used to get distance info, and if you can get distance to three different points, you get a 3D location[0]. The technique dates back to WWII.

Further, I think it works best if the frequencies are each a different prime (otherwise you get many beats). There are probably additional tricks you can do by varying the precise frequency combination to extract very fine-grained location data.

[0] Technically, you get two solutions, one on each side of the plane connecting the three points, but they can be disambiguated as long as direction can at least crudely be determined within 180°.
Well, in 2016 there were 6737 entrants [0], so I suppose the AI needs to have all its stars aligned or some other connection to god to win it without being good.

Unless Google has made their internal hiring notes and private information public, there's no data to be found on that. I don't know why you'd expect an opinion like that to have data to it when the opposite does not have data to it, either.

AIUI, under the proposed system, Agilebits would have to do permissions prompting every time the user created a vault in Dropbox, which adds friction to the process (makes it less available). They would also need to provide a reasonable migration path for existing users, which, for those who encountered problems, would result in them not having access to existing vaults or the vaults not updating correctly (loss of availability).

This is a very good point. In the early days of Graphviz we put a lot of effort into making very readable diagrams of fairly small graphs, mainly in drawing directed graphs (dot). We aimed at graphs with under a hundred objects. We agree with the viewpoint that it is better to apply some sort of analysis to reduce a larger graph to a smaller one that can be read and understood. People still want to draw much larger networks. In fact it is valid to want an overview of all the data, it's just not clear how to do this with many thousands of random connections. Graphviz sfdp (based on Yifan Hu's earlier work) and recent work on Maxent (which has a decent theoretical justification) and from Ulrik Brandes group are good examples. One reason graphviz neato does not make such great layouts of large graphs out of the box is that it is straight statistical multidimensional scaling, and we just drop shapes on top of the points, so they can overlap badly. We felt since people are relying on it for data visualization we did not want to post process the MDS layouts by default in a way that could be misleading. But you can turn on overlap removal (neato or sfdp -Goverlap=false). We really should document all this in one place that is easier to find and understand.

About the external shape loader issue - this code is somewhat centralized in graphviz/lib/gvc/gvusershape.c and in gvrender.c which calls it, and I thought it could be disabled at compile time (because we did address the security concerns at one point) and there's a lot of other machinery to control compile time features. Maybe John Ellson can comment here. Kudos to John for recognizing the problems with the shape loader as soon as I proposed it but apparently that didn't stop us at the time.

> It's because the infrastructure for FM is quite expensive to run.

Won't the free market decide if it's too expensive to run? Or is even radio run by the state in Norway? Otherwise, why prohibit private companies from licensing & broadcasting FM radio? I mean the free market would decide stop to broadcasting when it's not profitable for them anymore.

Or is everything state-run in Norway? When I read "one member of the ruling coalition was scathing" and "MP from the Progress Party", I'm thinking, the state (and these MPs) shouldn't even be involved and thinking about this, and should leave it to the free market.
"each user" - what defines a user?

The problem with things like irccloud from a network operator perspective isn't that it's difficult to distinguish between users. It's that these systems often subvert protections the network has deemed necessary.

Imagine example.net runs an open proxy scanner on anyone that connects. They find this reduces abuse considerably. If (e.g. irccloud) either 1) doesn't pass the originating user's ip 2) isn't trusted to pass the originating user's ip or 3) doesn't run a similar open proxy scanner, then example.net's open proxy scanner solves nothing.

1) isn't always technically trivial. 2) isn't for us to decide and 3) is probably never going to happen as the network will likely always be ahead.

If you do manage to solve 1&2 between a mitm & a network then awesome. The problem is that this requires buy in from both sides. Just because irccloud.com support it doesn't mean it will automatically work on any irc network you try and connect to.
