> Our goal is to design the best possible city given the constraints of existing laws.

> There are many high-level questions we want to think through, for example:

* What should a city optimize for?
* How should we measure the effectiveness of a city (what are its KPIs)?
* What values should (or should not) be embedded in a city's culture?
* How can cities help more of their residents be happy and reach their potential?
* How can we encourage a diverse range of people to live and work in the city?
* How should citizens guide and participate in government?
* How can we make sure a city is constantly evolving and always open to change?

> And there are tactical questions we want to dig into, for example:

* How can we make and keep housing affordable? This is critical to us; the cost of housing affects everything else in a city.
* How can we lay out the public and private spaces (and roads) to make a great place to live? Can we figure out better zoning laws?
* What is the right role for vehicles in a city? Should we have human-driven cars at all?
* How can we have affordable high-speed transit to and from other cities?
* How can we make rules and regulations that are comprehensive while also being easily understandable? Can we fit all rules for the city in 100 pages of text?
* What effects will the new city have on the surrounding community?
Oh, is that new?

I remember this biting me when I wanted to write a function that would interpret the value I passed to it, and have a special case for null pointers. I wanted to also be able to pass a non-pointer to this same function name and get the standard case, but the dispatch would not let me do this unless I gave both versions of the function different names.
IPFS is very close to what you describe (Merkle trees! Globally-identified hashes!) but it doesn't claim to be a blockchain because it doesn't have a consensus mechanism, let alone a way to prevent double spends.

And that's ok! It's designed for different problems, like file system style blob storage. It's not about "whether something is a blockchain", it's about "what's the right tool for the job"? I see value in complementary decentralized pieces of file systems, databases, processing, and more.

If you have a Macbook and can't see the logo on the canary image, try changing the color profile for your display. On my mid-2014 rMBP, the default color profile was "Color LCD", but I could change it to "Display P3" and see the logo.

These are definitely the awesome laptops Apple should have made. I just really don't want to give up macOS. I've literally put this thing back and forth into my cart, twenty times by now. But there is just too much I'm giving up environment wise. Either I go with Windows, and lose unix, or I go Linux, and lose everything but unix. That's why MacOS works for me, and I'm sure others. It's what Linux should have been by now, a hybrid Windows/Unix experience. Apple is really pissing me off, forcing me even to contemplate this.

I KNOW Linux isn't Unix.
you're missing part of the point.

Yes, I often long back to the days when you could just put software on a floppy disk and be sure that it would never change. That this isn't practically possible anymore is one of the biggest downsides of the cloud.
> As the article states, they can and do prevent double spends, so we agree there. But that's not what "consistent" means in a CAP setting.

You're the one who asserted that CAP-style consistency is required to prevent double-spends. Eventual consistency is a weakened form of consistency in the CAP sense. Both Bitcoin and Ethereum have eventual consistency as much more than a "theoretical" concern. In your own words: "But let’s be generous and call them consistent, because in practice they are used that way, the workaround being higher latency as one waits for a sufficiently high probability of avoiding inconsistency." The only way this is true is if you accept latencies measured in hours. For real-world applications, you absolutely need to deal with the eventual consistency (and, in fact, I've written several applications that deal with precisely that).

> Each node votes on any transaction coming through. The transaction only clears if it gets enough positive votes.

I didn't ask how you establish consensus. I asked how the nodes federate -- if a node tries to peer with you, how do you decide whether or not to accept the node? You suggested anonymity is out the window, so who controls node identity?
Except you're going to have a terrible time building a new hotel complex in the middle of already existing apartments. The bill for sound insulation is going to be massive. And if you get inspected and it turns your you are not within the regulations, the fine is going to be a fun one too. Therefore, new hotels are built somewhat isolated from existing housing, or take up an entire building.

As opposed to a random person just renting his apartment and getting a tap on the wrist eventually.
The Birth of Enterprise Ethereum in 2017
Great question. As the article says: there are many ways that AI can help blockchains, such as mining blockchain data (e.g. Silk Road investigation). That’s for another discussion:)

I'd love to see more suggestions here or elsewhere. It would be my pleasure to write an article on this.
I would never say Github is superior to Bitbucket. I haven't checked if they have changed the rules, but on the startup I was working on, Bitbucket provided superior value by far. They allowed free private repos for teams of up to 5 users. After 6 months we ended up paying for the basic plan to accomodate about 10 users.

I am mostly used to command line Git during my daily routine, but the designer/manager was happily using Sourcetree. But as far as some products that are kind of worthless, yeah Hipchat would be one. You are way better off using Slack or even WeChat mobile/desktop app (if you are in China)

Photographers who still enjoy film do so for the same reason that a lot of guitarists still enjoy tube amplifiers: it's reproduction is less accurate, but it's inaccurate in an aesthetically pleasing way.
Maybe it's a matter of taste, I prefer bitbucket to github any day of the week.
Interesting. Of course, computers tell bad jokes, I'm told.

Visual processing also comes to mind. Computers can "see", but it's very difficult to understand the many rules humans use to parse their environment, thus computers are not yet at human level of visual processing.

Makes me wonder if those things aren't "solved" by our brains, but we just don't quite know how. Another thing worth noting is that I know people who have no sense of humor. They simply do not understand jokes or sarcasm.
I used to think that this was the case, however more recent research (popular news article form of it) [0] seems to suggest that that may not be the case.

> Speaking of not having maybe/option, every other line of code is "if (err == null)" and there's no way to abstract this out. Give me `option` dammit.

This is why I can't take Go apologists seriously when they say the language is just fine without generics. Ok, fine, maybe I don't need generics in my application code as much as I thought, but their absence has cascading effects throughout the language and requires you to do ridiculous things all over the place. Not just the constant "if (err == null)" and interface{}, but also go-generate, which I have seen Go defenders seriously try to claim obviates the need for generics. What?!

You're always going to get collisions, the serious ones are with other technical topics/brands/etc. No one is going to mix up a programming language and an airline.

I think most people believe their own country's propaganda. :-)

In Sweden, since that is the subject, we really used to be naive and trust what we were told.

Some of the typical characteristics you saw, all the way back to before written history, is that we are group oriented and do what we were told. This made for a high trust society, which is probably what made the place work.

But no more, the society elites are really destroying this trust now.

That the democratic world supports Saudi A is an extreme example of realpolitik, of course. We need stability in that part of the world.

Wittgenstein put this really well :

Sorry, it's nil, isn't it. It's been a year since I touched Go. I wrote enough to get a production component out using it. I mostly used it to fill in the gaps where Python wasn't all that good at being a reactor. 2k lines tops.

On a related note, I'm looking to start taking digital privacy/security more seriously. Not because I'm worried about anything in particular, but because I'd like to not enable purposeful tracking or collection of my information.

Anyway, what are the best practices for this, for someone that lives in the US? Email, smartphone, laptop, etc?

Should I bother with setting up my own email server on a VPS? What about cloud storage, calendar, etc? Should I use services like Todoist? How do I limit the tracking, resale, and use of my smartphone info for ads? Is LUKS a good idea for my laptop?

Is there a place online that has some guidance for this stuff? Who can give me a clue about what's a good idea and what isn't?
But unless the display actually supports wide colour gamuts that will just make everything look worse.

Bitbucket is better for companies than Github, though of course Github is supreme for open source collaboration. Github has improved recently, but Bitbucket had things like better user management more suitable for companies, and didn't have utterly brainless things like not allowing two repos to use the same deployment key (and deploy keys had full write access!). So everyone ended up making a 'fake human account' for their buildservers, which is Just One More Thing To Manage.

As for ticketing systems, they all suck. All of them. Even Trello. The basic problem is that the amount of information you need to put into a ticket in order to be reasonably useful is more than the users are (time-)comfortable providing. No ticketing software will solve that.

My major problem with Atlassian, though, is the licensing subsystem. It sucks hard. Getting support for it sucks. You can have the account that owns a license, and still be unable to access parts of your own account. They have support for multiple contacts, but only the first one receives relevant mail. The owner of the license can't control the order of the contacts, the contacts themselves have to log in and move themselves to that first position (no potential for abuse there!). Getting support through their support wizard process regarding licensing is painful. Ugh, they need to flog whomever designed that setup... I get the feeling that they used to work for the Windows licensing team....
Truth be told, I actually prefer PDFs opening in browser compared to downloading the file, opening the file, reading it, and then having to delete file (unless I actually want to save it.) If it's a file I want to keep, I right click and save or save the already open PDF. Most of the time I'm just looking for information in a datasheet and don't want to actually download the PDF.
Plotting a VNF Evolution for the SD-WAN Industry
We acknowledge this attack vector and others; and list them in github. It's in our roadmap to address them. The current schedule is the following: we're currently wrapping up the a base MongoDB integration (next couple weeks); on the heels of that we'll improve the MongoDB replication (a couple months); and on the heels of that we'll address the "drop" issue (and other unwanted commands) via a wire protocol firewall. More security stuff to follow that.

BTW thanks for the kind words about our team. I think they're amazing too:)
Do you mean that they are using a pure strategy? I seriously doubt that.

But yes, that would not be a good idea since optimal play is a complicated mixed strategy.
Seconded. `Effective Python` is a fantastic resource detailing a lot of the ways Python differs from other languages and how to write to the language's strengths.

I'm no hot shit, but it definitely moved me from 'middling hobbyist' to 'semi-capable dev'.
The article doesn't mention any of the current, state-of-the-art solutions, nor does it tell why they aren't satisfying. I would have expected a lot of competitors in this area.

> There are literally dozens of modern democracies that have been free since WWII, how can that be too few "pairs"?

There's a little under 200 countries now. The number of democracies by any definition that leaves no inter-democracy wars is a small fraction of that (though, yes, in the dozens). The ratio of democracy-democracy dyads to total dyads is smaller (for reasons which should be mathematically obvious) than the ratio of democracies to countries.

It does that with HTML files as well.
It's worth the time.
IPFS is very close to BitTorrent entirely using magnet: links, which does indeed have something close to a consensus mechanism (everything is checksummed to the hilt).

> It's not about "whether something is a blockchain"

It arguably is when you call your post "Blockchains for Artificial Intelligence".
Trello is way easier to use though, and free to boot with paid extras. It's kind of like PHP vs Ruby on Rails all over again, where PHP is old and customizable, with RoR you get a cookie cutter workflow that is an industry standard, so people tend to gravitate towards that. Well, that and the fact that some people seem to be allergic to semicolons and C-style function calls :-P

Truth is both tools are just fine. The rest is just people defending their choice as the superior way of doing things.
Photos only. Apple's APIs only capture in Wide Color when shooting in photo mode, and their documentation only recommends using wide color/Display P3 for images.
tl;dr: mhp, since you're active in this thread, how can I quickly get in touch with you?

Background:

I didn't find a competing product a good match for how I tried to use it, so I pitched that competition (your closest direct competition) on specific improvements (that they should make) but they didn't see my vision. (I was in touch with the CEO and exchanged a few messages back and forth.)

-> Do you have an email address I can forward the same thing to you to?

if you want to after reviewing my forwards you can reply by email. You can also reach out to me at my email in my profile. At the moment I don't use either Trello or them, anymore. (But I do use Atlassian products actually, which as you correctly state in this thread, are orthogonal.)

Thanks - I'd love to use specifically Trello products in the future.

EDIT: Why would anyone downvote this? (Let alone 2 people now.) I didn't have trouble getting in touch with the competition... Since mhp is active in this thread I don't see the harm of asking. I could probably find it out myself but I'm not going to waste any more time on this, since it was a waste of time with the other CEO.
Thanks, we've reverted the title from the submitted “Chrome now opens pdf files without way to opt out”.
In this context, I suspect the word 'Oxfordian' might better be interpreted in this sense: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxfordian_theory_of_Shakespear... (for what it's worth, people from Oxford or affiliated with the university would be unlikely to refer to themselves as 'Oxfordian'. If they want to be cute, they might go with 'Oxonian'.)
You can compute perfect strategies for much simpler variants of Hold’em, e.g. Leduc Hold’em. Then you see that bluffing is absolutely required for optimal play.
Presumably he (or she?) wanted to go back to his own tank to get the regular food. Frankly I think you should take the carpet down - OK you don't want to keep losing flounder, but if the guy can wander around and climb out of his own tank you should be studying that, not trying to make the behavior go away. If nothing else, it's cruel to bore him like that. Yes, I'm serious.
Dwan is something of a reclusive/shady figure these days. Also it's unlikely he's currently playing anywhere close to his skill peak/ the skill level of the four selected - once a poker pro has achieved a level of fame commensurate to his, they can live comfortably for the rest of their days bleeding wealthy amateurs who get their kicks from playing (and losing) high stakes cash games against pros.

Don't know about Blom - probably just insufficient action for him (couldn't tell from the article, but it seems likely they're playing play money cash games, with fixed prizes for players who end ahead).

Quantifying and Visualizing “Deep Work” – Medium
You have a basis for that assertion? The human mind is basically lots of computing power, lots of data, and simple rules -- since all growth and learning is local, it must be simple in that sense at least. Yes we don't understand the neuroscience fully yet, but we do understand the ways in which the underlying mechanisms must be constrained. And we routinely build software programs with structure and rules that are vastly more complex than the neurons that make up our gray matter.

Maybe automatic hyper-parameter optimization of adversarial networks is all that it takes for general intelligence. If you look up the conference proceedings of NIPS or AAAI you'll see major progress being made on basically every type of learning and memory you can find in a psychological textbook. Of course these are controlled experiments being done, in the technical sense, and not agglomerative. But what's stopping us from combining a bunch of these algorithms together, or better yet a base framework that generically supports them all, and making it self-reflective? Just computing power and available data, really.

So no, it's not at all clear that this is a problem that is "not conceptually solved." People keep saying that whenever the subject comes up, but the reality on the ground is otherwise.
