They might be clunky, but I'm sure there are adequate means of doing everything you'd want to do.

The problem many people have is convenience. For example if you are forced to use Facebook in order to log into a Hotel Wifi (as I recently was) then you have to say "I don't want the Wifi more than I want to log in with Facebook". It's not an essential.

Or, it might be more difficult to spend the effort keeping in touch with people on a personal level, but it's not impossible. It just doesn't have the convenience that Facebook gives. But it also doesn't have the costs.

I'm not trying to convince anyone. But I do find it increasingly interesting (as I pay more attention to it) how many people confuse 'convenient' for 'essential'.
Go has releases every 6 months.
That's how I read it, that this is about monorepos with file trees with large numbers of files where users don't necessary need every single file in their local worktree to get work done.

I'd assume this GVFS would work hand in hand with Git LFS for the use case of large files.
I used one for TFS, when I worked in Microsoft, and git p4 when I worked at Splunk. Certainly enjoying that we are 100% git now.

My point was that with GVFS they are not really solving the problem they had - git status still takes 4-5 seconds, to be that is a lot.
It's homunculi all the way down...
Forgive me if im wrong, but as long you don't receive a salary (or money transfers in general) from the Estonian company entity, you should not be paying any personal taxes in Germany since all the money remains in the company?
Have they fixed the middleware graveyard? When I last used it, I found it insanely difficult to pick the correct middlewares due to the changes between versions.
> but of the 23 acts of terrorism in 2016 killing a hundred or more people, 100% of them were done by Muslims.

From your link, 100% of those killing 100+ are done by the islamic state militants who are fighting what they consider to be a civil war.

If you cannot manage to see the distinction in that, then you don't really have an open mind about this discussion.

> It's fine to support open immigration, but denying that there is an unusual problem with violence in the Muslim community is indefensible.

Being scared shitless of over 1.5 billion people just because some of them are bad people, is just ridiculous. There isn't a problem with violence in the Muslim community. Go to any Muslim community not in the middle of a war, and I doubt you'll find more violence than you do in your average Jewish or Christian community.
I guess at least some of these types of companies are consultancy companies disguised as product companies? If that's the case they might not be affected too badly.
Last week I permanently deleted my FaceBook account. All my data since 2007 (10 years) and friends gone. Well...apparently my data is still somewhere to be used as metadata...

Still, I must say, this was a liberating experience. I don't go there anymore to see another cat/new born/fake news posts. I don't get get angry with dumb comments. I don't have to see at my friends are eating, selfies, etc..

My closest friends and family are reachable one whatsapp/imessage/phone call away. The other hundreds
"friends" I had on FB, I don't even remember their names anymore...
C# is no worse than Java.
Even that that pushes the trust problem one step further. Presuming making a Benevolent and Obedient AI leader is possible, how do we trust the people making it?

If western industry creates the super AI and somehow Google, MS, Facebook, Amazon, Apple and western society in general trust it why should China and Baidu?
Historically, the D->G mutation around 222 (numbering schemes vary) in 1918 Spanish flu caused a significant increase in pathogenicity. That's a single bit-flip.
What about people who have kids they don't love? I knew someone like this; she was an older lady (50s at the time), with a really wonderful personality but disabled. She had one son from a prior marriage. She finally had to break off all contact with him when it became obvious that he was only hanging around her trying to convince her to sign over power-of-attorney of herself and her social security benefits to him so he could take all her money. He was a sociopath.
Sure. Like I mentioned in a later post, I'm an author on several of the CFR papers. It is related to RL, and there are a few ways of interpreting CFR. If you have an RL background, then CFR is kind of "RL using an advantage function, but it converges in adversarial games." If you have a multiarm bandits background, then CFR is kind of "An independent multiarm bandit at each decision point, all learning at the same time."

CFR differs from standard RL in a few ways:

- Exploring the tree. CFR has many variants, many of which focus on using sampling to trade off between fast, narrow, noisy updates versus slow, broad, precise updates. The most sampling-heavy variant, called Outcome Sampling, traces a single path through the tree, as you would in RL. However, it doesn't converge nearly as quickly as other variants, like Vanilla (explore the whole tree on each iteration) or Chance Sampling (sample the cards, explore the whole action space). Since those variants consider all paths through the tree, you don't have an explore/exploit tradeoff anymore, as you normally would in RL.

- The "Counterfactual" part. Regret updates are weighted by the other agents' probability of taking you to a decision point. Or, equivalently: updates are weighted by the probability that you reach a decision, if you are trying to reach that decision (and all of your action probabilities along the way are 1). If you use Outcome Sampling (described above) then by sampling all actions that weight becomes 1, and thus less important. But for fast learning, the weighting becomes important.

- The strategy doesn't converge, but the average strategy does. Even in the limit, in an adversarial setting where all players are learning, the strategy produced from the regret values doesn't converge to Nash. If it was a single-player problem (either no opponents, or static opponents that can be treated as part of the environment), then as in RL, the strategy would converge to an optimal response to the environment. But in an adversarial setting, you also need the average strategy, which is the only part guaranteed to converge to optimal.
Same here, I actually think it's more user friendly now and it fills the fields at higher correctness than before. Maybe he is still on version 3x? You can choose that in the settings.
> when you run “git checkout” and it takes up to 3 hours, or even a simple “git status” takes almost 10 minutes to run. That’s assuming you can get past the “git clone”, which takes 12+ hours.

How on Earth can anybody work like that?

I'd have thought you may as well ditch git at that point, since nobody's going to be using it as a tool, surely?

If I were capital I would simply invest harder in automation and software. You can still claim made in the U.S.A. with cheaper unit economics than people who actually try and create jobs.
I don't think a lot of those jobs are coming back. We need to invest in education for the new jobs, not try and force coal mining, car riveting, etc to be in demand again.
Git on Windows has gotten very fast and stable in the last few years. Microsoft employees themselves, among others of course, have directly contributed to a much better Git experience on Windows.
That only works if your land is located in the right place, though. I suspect it didn't work as well in, say, the Midlands.
I found this to be a real problem with using Arch in production. Updating is a bit of a catch-22: if you upgrade frequently, the workload of keeping up with the minutiae of not breaking your system is overwhelming. And the longer you leave it, the closer the chances of breakage when you do approach 100%. Result: you inevitably fall off the update treadmill at some point, usually during some sort of crunch time, and then never update again because who wants to tell their boss they spent a day debugging a self-inflicted problem? Safer to leave it alone and get on with your work.

This is why I switched back to Debian. Updating is stress-free and there's no downside to doing it as often as you like.
Just to clarify, as long as all the money remains in the Estonian company entity (e.g. you are not paying yourself a salary), you should not owe any personal income tax in Germany since their is no income, correct?
>Protectionism also caused India to fall behind in most major sectors for the 60 years after independence.

If they had an open economy right after the independence, wouldn't multinationals have completely taken over the industry given almost everyone in India was too poor to start their own business? Wouldn't this basically be "re-occupation " by the west in different garb.

Is it fair to blame India's failure on 'protectionism' when it might as well have been rampant corruption, people divided into caste lines, choosing democracy for a poorly educated/unsophisticated/caste corrupted population? How do you explain china if protectionism is root of all evil.

What about Hindu attitudes of meekness, non-violence that are contrary to aggression of capitalism .
Surprised no mention of music.

<play, beauty, truth, justice and love.

Math and music gives me all those.

My Math inclination brings tears To binary situations and lasts (as in the last time I'll ....)

Truth is a set.

Justice is relativity (<,>,=)

Play is math humor with the pun as king.

And love is random uncontrolable feeling.
Does anyone have suggestions or best practices for using facebook securely (ie to maintain an account but not let it be linked w/ all of your other browsing activities)? I was thinking something like hosting a hardened/non-fingerprintable browser from a VPS/cloud provider somewhere and only using that to interact with the site.
Why was having only a few options for cars an economic barrier to growth?
> Spare me the talk of "hysteria" when he spent the entire election fear-mongering the rubes.

To my mind, incoherent response to a real threat can be "hysteria" - it doesn't imply (as "paranoia" does) that the threat itself isn't real. I would be interested to know if others interpret it differently.

I don't know how we implement it. But I've wondered for a while if we can't make a real AI until we create something that can sleep.

Holmes is an intellectual hero of mine. I keep it as a reminder that we all have our historical blindspots.
> You'll be fired from your job if you treat your co-workers badly

Sure, but there'll be a process. You'll have a right to a hearing, the right to your own union representative, and a right to appeal to a tribunal or similar. And the HR people themselves will have oversight. HR don't get handed a license to just fire anyone they want to.

> You'll be ejected from the pub if you harass the other clients

Pubs are not an institution to emulate. A project like FreeBSD should hold itself to a higher standard.
Adding to your point, something I have thought about India: India really exploded after the development of new industries that basically moved too fast to fall under the "License Raj" mentality that exists. Infosys, Wipro, TCS, Flipkart - these companies simply would not exist if they had to go through the struggles that other companies have to go through.
I've never understood this idea of creating kids as a means of immortality or prolonging consciousness. Your kids aren't you, and they don't even think like you. Even Plato complained about the younger generation having poor values! Kids (esp. teenagers) are infamous for rebellion against their parents, and generational differences clearly show that your kids are not at all likely to think like you or have the same values. You might think you'll be able to guide and shape your kid, but all of history proves this wrong.
They goods would have to be tarrifed to the point where making them locally made sense. Its possible they jack up prices in the medium term and instead of retooling an equivalent American team spend that time on automating with a much smaller specialized american team.
If you cared you could make an ICC profile representing an accurate characterization of the display, but limited to 8 bits/channel. I doubt the video game players who are focused on blitting the maximum number of textured triangles per second are too worried though.

This is my exact situation too.
Give me simple config (nee .ini) files to grep/edit, and I can have a system running _the way I want_ faster then any other method.

I can understand it, I can edit it, I can fix it.
IMO systemd and the like are too much like hand-waving voodoo.

It's like trying to interact with an adolescent AI: Computer run service abc123

I don't feel like it.

With config files: Computer run service abc123

Error on line #5 of abc123.conf

Bingo!

I wish they had just named systemd as HAL. It would have let me avoid months of hair-pulling.

>Many young Americans are shocked to learn that Italian and Irish (who are often a baseline of appearance in modern America)were once not only considered not "white", but were demonized even as much as other races that Europe has traditionally looked down on.

This was parodied in the movie Blazing Saddles, set in the American wild west, with a quote that I'd be [edit: apparently not] banned for repeating verbatim.
This is why I think that enhancing the protocol that GVFS uses for downloads with a IPFS backend might be an interesting solution to making everything distributed again.
I don't think you can get such a service for "average joes."

Though...Bloomberg Chat meets your criteria (ex-fee). It consists of ~300K financial users who pay ~$25K/year/terminal. Many argue this is the killer feature of Bloomberg. I agree. It's like an exclusive, digital country club.

We can tax the productivity from your automation. Failing that, we can replicate it and break the patents for it.

There are no new jobs coming. Its time to drop the charade that retraining and hustling will be the solution.
"The Red Badge of Courage" was there, as well.
Here's how it plays out in a protectionist world. Let's say the US government bans smartphone imports and forces manufacturers to set-up shop in the US. What Apple would do then, they would heavily invest in automation. So the number of jobs it could create here won't be at the same scale as in India. Then to maintain the same margins as the current iPhone, Apple will raise their prices. Consumers would probably still buy those phones, but the rates of upgrades and new phone purchase would dramatically reduce. That will mean Apple will not require all the retail locations they have now or the exhaustive supply chain and shipping network. Leading to loss of jobs in those areas. In addition, not all manufacturers can compete at that price point, as consumers are simply not ready to pay that much money for HTC. Which means there will be a gradual move towards monopoly and ultimately Apple and Samsung will be the only players left in the smartphone market with no incentive to innovate but all the incentives to bring their cost down. This is exactly how it played out in India with Hindustan Motors and Maruti being the only two car manufacturers.
Snapchat's Performance Doesn't Match IPO Hype
We probably share the same opinion on why no one has pushed for "regime change" in Tunisia.

Iran is definitely playing geopolitics when they arm Houthis (fighting the internationally recognized government) with anti ship missiles in the Strait of Hormuz. Were they also not arming the Iraqi insurgents/sending military forces over the border during the height of the conflict in Iraq? How about Russia in Ukraine (are the "little green men" freedom fighters or rebels?)? Russia has more than just the support of a government in mind when it supports Syria.

I'm not saying one side is right or wrong - just that none of these actions happen in a vacuum.
Not public, privately own by facebook (and partners and clients) and aggregated with everything that is actually public and every other privately own data they could gather.

Then used to target you in every possible ways.
As an aside, in trying to make a title compelling (have a person as the subject), the Times is inadvertently hurting science.

This article is about a hypothesis that has some evidence in mice, but tells nowhere near the whole story, especially in humans with regard to sleep. However, the title suggests more confidence than warranted. Likely, in the near future, some newspaper will publish a similar article, except the purpose of sleep will be to remember (which is also supported by studies).

The problem is the average person will see that and think, what scientists say is always changing, and they are contradicting each other all the time. Then when they see an article stating scientists say that climate change is worsening, they will view it just like any article that has "scientists say" in the title.
Wow. The search of my photos for dog is impressively bad. Everything from kids on all fours to monkeys with the rare photo of an actual dog mixed in lightly.
Disclosure: I work for Google, but nowhere near Cloud, and I have no knowledge of this deal.

Quite apart from the dollar costs and human capital required to build and maintain a DC, there's the lead time required to build the thing, and I'd speculate that that's potentially a significant factor in Snap's decision. Perhaps Snap are looking at e.g. how quickly Pokemon GO scaled their operation, and they're thinking for whatever reason that they might need to do something similar?
The process in the article is pretty similar to dropout in neural nets. But instead of "knowing" what to get rid of, we randomly prune. The brain may do it randomly or intelligently, hard to say based on these studies.

Sounds like a plan. Then, 'The Americans' can withdraw every last bit of foreign aid and military support for western europe, japan, etc.

Have fun with Russia and China.
Another dimension to consider in this is to be careful in how we demonize the Anti-Evolution people from this time in history as well. I do believe that William Jennings Bryan of the Scopes Monkey Trial was a very ignorant man in many regards, but the textbook he was protesting was horrifying in for they way it promoted eugenics. I wrote about this here after listening to a presentation from an anthropologist on the subject, who argued that Bryan--a liberal Christian--was strongly motivated by his opposition to eugenics:

http://ideonexus.com/2007/12/02/the-complex-william-jennings...

In lessons learned from history, Jennings made the mistake of attacking the textbook on the validity of evolutionary theory instead of for the abhorrent promotion of eugenics. As a result, history remembers him as a buffoon rallying against a now-obvious scientific truth. I see a parallel today with many Climate Change denialists, who attack the science instead of attacking the policies being put forward using the science for support.
Well in your logic all big companies are scum. There are whole industries which making a lot of bucks for tax evasion (I mean the 100% legal one) and a lot of people are working there. So they are all scum? Just saying... if you are doing everything 100% legal according to the laws of your country why not optimize it? It's unfair that small and medium fish cannot do the same as big fish ;)
There are many problems a storage driver for docker need to solve. We are not replacing docker here, just providing a better solution for the storage driver (API of which is defined by docker) part of it. Solutions in use today are half baked and have too many problems to deal with.

Docker is already doing a good job of de-duplication by identifying shared data between applications and keeping a unique copy of shared data on disk. But many of the existing storage drivers today, would create multiple copies of such shared data in memory when many applications (containers) consume such shared data. Applications are running on top of file systems and each need a separate instance of the file system and Linux kernel does not know if all those file systems are sharing same data underneath. Each application also require a unique view of the file system and they may choose to modify their file system (thus their shadow copy of shared data) and such changes should be hidden from other applications (containers). That is where cloning technologies come into play. And there are many other things a docker storage driver need to solve. Rather than focusing on one aspect of the whole problem, it would be better to look at the whole picture and see if there are any solutions out there solving all those problems correctly and efficiently for a docker storage driver.
Write your own Executive Order
If labor wasn't needed for many manufacturing jobs, then labor wouldn't be used overseas. A problem with requiring all jobs to require an advanced degree is that not everyone is capable of doing so.

Should the less intelligent live in squalor while the smart get by? I don't think so. There needs to be good job opportunities for all classes, not just the upper class.
In what way is this incorrect? Those are three separate promises; no code can be correct that depends on whether one resolve() call finishes before an independently started resolve() call, right?
