>suggests you might have unrealistic expectations

I hear this a lot, but I disagree with it. Of course I do not expect the state to just vanish, but my point is that I do not want to 'settle' for a state, because I disagree with the fundamental concept of the modern state, because it is neither anarchistic, nor implementing direct democracy, nor supporting the abolishment of private property.

I don't want states to change. I want them to be destroyed.

[Re-Upload] FAKE PEOPLE MAKE EMPATHS SICK
Kittens meow (and loudly) to their mothers if left alone for too long. So it's not a behaviour unique to human cat interactions.

As is typical, it is a innate behaviour that seems to be repurposed when interacting with humans.

Humans are very auditory, and cats faces are not as expressive as dogs are. So cats seems to [1] discover that meowing is a good way to get a human's attention.

Behaviourism predicts that when an organism is faced with a 'problem' to solve it will often run through it's behavioural repertoire, trying each behaviour until one seems to trigger the desired outcome.

Substantively improving patient privacy protections in a concrete case by forcing a large corporation to agree to strong privacy protections and auditing regimes seems like a "real" contribution spurring a "real" debate.

For 1.6 million people, the results stemming from this paper much more "real" than any number of git commits to a software system.

That's not where artists themselves draw the line, despite the fact that it describes a large percentage of artwork.
Because with a Fourier series/transform you only get to play with the amplitude of the sine and cosine functions, not the offset. If you only had cosine functions in your sum you'd only be able to represent symmetric functions (and antisymmetric if only sine). Except actually I lied; if you sum both sine and cosine functions you do get to specify offsets. Think of this trig identity: sin(x + offset) = [cos(offset)] sin(x) + [sin(offset)] cos(x). Think about the terms in brackets as just being amplitudes. By having both sine and cosine in the sum you can represent any arbitrary offset by just changing their relative amplitude. This is one of those things which is nicer when you think about it in terms of complex numbers.

I wonder if you could include the latex source as an unreferenced stream in the pdf document. If there was a standard around this, we could have tools to convert compatible pdf documents into whatever format easily.
Please also note that while FreeBSD may have the bigger individual sponsors, the FreeBSD Foundation still relies on many small contributions as the tax-free non-profit status of the Foundation relies more on the number of contributors than the amount (at least that's how I understood it).

Reading this it makes sense as a highly productive system for a time when the screen size was small monitor.

I keep wanting an Apple/Windows/Linux manager that really embraces the flexibility and size of a giant 4k screen (I'm using a 55" 4k TV as a monitor that's cheap in both current and real dollars than the 21" monitor I had in 2002).

I've hacked together a system that works well for me on OS X with Divvy, but it still feels non optimal.

I recommend Fast Algorithms for Digital Signal Processing, by Blahut, 1985 for a mind-expanding survey of all the work in this area up to that time. Winograd FFT is even lower complexity than C-T. And the book spends a lot of time on fast DFTs over integer fields of size a Mersenne or Fermat prime. It's tragic how many transistors we've wasted doing floating point math on what is essentially an integer problem.

Looks very good (especially the team behind it!), but I wonder if there's a discrete step down to where you make machine learning materials accessible to the general public beyond data visualizations and clear writing. This will certainly be a more interactive experience, but it seems to cater to those who are "in-the-know" and require a bit more interactivity/clarity. It'd be nice to discuss the format changes or the "TLDR" bot of machine learning that makes machine learning research truly accessible to the general public.

Ummm thats how the world works, frankly its like saying water is wet. Whenever a hospital works with any third party provider, it signs a BAA agreement which governs the sharing of data. All risks of disclosure, etc. are priced into the contract. Any large hospital will have dedicated group of lawyers for sole purpose of drawing up these agreements.

It's not. Not when you are trying to toss a teenager in prison for taking pictures of themselves.

It's also not if you consider the reasoning behind the laws. Is child porn illegal because it's disgusting, or because you can't create it without subjecting a child to an act they can't possibly consent to? Shouldn't it really be the latter, in which case you should really consider that in many (most?) places the laws regarding consent are different for teenagers.

HIPAA rules aren't relevant to the United Kingdom; and, even under HIPAA, a BAA is required for certain sharing of data with contracted parties, but isn't on its own sufficient for unlimited sharing of PHI without restriction on use. Heck, even the entity doing direct service has limits on permitted internal uses.

The items raised with DeepMind would raise serious concerns under HIPAA of the entities involved were covered by it.
Typically the way that you would "hold accountable" the traditional old media is by ignoring sources that prove bad.

If you think the Washington Post is publishing bad, pointless nonsense news, you stop reading it. Cancel your subscription. Don't buy a copy at a newsstand. Don't buy ads for your local business. Don't place classified ads (remember those?). Tune it out.

Subscriber count will drop. The rate card will list a lower readership and ad rates will go down. The newspaper will lose revenue. It will lay off staff and implode.

"Traditional old news" was all published together in a big bundle of paper and if it was bad quality stuff you would stop reading the whole thing. That was how you held it accountable -- you stopped paying attention to junk.

This has certainly happened -- remember News of the World? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_of_the_World) Certainly everyone in Liverpool remembers The Sun. Traditionally, newspapers which did bad journalism and just printed crap shaped up or they closed down.

With the advent of Facebook News Feed driven news it's harder to punish a bad source. A typical News Feed post shows me, in order, (1) the name of the friend who shared it (2) some text they wrote about it (3) a photo (4) the headline (5) some text from the article and finally (6) the actual source of the news. I have to deliberately choose to ignore or distrust stuff based on the source -- and that's after I have read the material. I had no choice in terms of, not even picking up a newspaper in the first place.

In the 2000s it was easy for me not to read the Epoch Times (the Falun Gong newspaper printed in the New York area and distributed throughout the US) and when I did read articles in it I knew that I was reading something printed by a Falun Gong mouthpiece organization. In the 2010s it is hard for me not to see videos made by Russia Today (a fascinating, viral news organization with a heavy Web presence); it's pretty common for me to see rt.com content in my various social news feeds and I incur a bunch of extra cognitive load to remember the biases that that newsgathering organization brings to the table.
Although the project doesn't aim to replace Minikube, it can help a lot if you work either on Kubernetes itself or a project that extends Kubernetes, or want to give k8s a quick try. For example, you can start Kubernetes 1.5 cluster like this:

Large is a nonspecific value, as is the valuation of the loss.
Is the $1000 life insurance policy large? The limit is practically somewhere around the lifetime administrative costs or we would see even smaller (like you do in non US countries). I don't know the smallest insurance limit in rupees, but it's tiny.

If I knick a priceless artifact (e.g. baseball card), the loss is practically nothing, but socio-economically noticeable via devaluation.

"Professional" gamblers treat gambling as trading time (looking for opportunity, like in Poker) versus risk. Bad gamblers (e.g. slot, roulette, etc) play out games where there is no possible benefit from time investment. No consistent reward for trading any commodity.

There's no difference between many kinds of gambling and insurance, other than the regulations and mediums involved. The insurance companies are still managing risk vs reward.

I really like this! I'll keep an eye on it for now :)
the article you posted is for Wheat, not Gluten (a protein)

do you see how it is incorrect to attribute a problem to an ingredient, when a different ingredient in the Wheat may be causing the problem?

Maybe it's just semantics, but blaming gluten when it likely is something besides gluten seems wrong. Gluten is not a synonym for Wheat.
If possible at all try to tell a story in order to get your audience involved. Admittedly, this can be hard especially with technical topics but even a somewhat lacklustre, unimaginative story ("Imagine you were to build a CRUD app ...") is better than merely walking the audience through a technical manual.

Use pictures and simple diagrams to underline your message.

Another personal principle of mine for creating presentations is this:

- Bullet points

- are

- the

- devil's work.

I really don't know why bullet points are the default template in most presentation software. They lend themselves to being misunderstood as notes for the speaker to simply read off. Even for actual lists in presentations bullet points mostly fail to get the message across. Besides, they make your presentation look cluttered.

The most important aspect of preparing a presentation though is practice. Usually I practise a presentation until I almost know its contents by heart. This allows me to improvise and makes me feel comfortable during the talk.
Yeah I didn't mean to imply you could get work out of it, just that it's a system with zero dissipation, so it would seem to be a perpetual machine "of the third kind" as referenced by the post above.

What you're doing is called Chronological Snobbery, acting as if an idea or concept has no value simply because of age.
It's an oversimplification but mostly accurate. A 15% GST affects you and your competitors and competitive products identically, so they all raise prices to compensate so consumers pay it.

Income taxes are a little different, one business may be more profitable than a competitor, and they may have different profit margin requirements to justify building/selling their products, so the adjustments are going to be different per company. But essentially prices are adjusted fir tax levels within what demand allows.

Imagine income tax is increased from 0% to 50%, any business that was already making marginal profits needs to increase prices or go out of business. Assume Dell makes 4% profit margins on pcs, and Apple 20%, Dell can increase prices 2% to retain its after tax profit levels, Apple needs to increase prices 10%, but may not be able to given its competitor Dell did not.

I fail to see how neo-lib doctrine has failed in this instance. If the middle class is priced out of a certain area, then fine, they go move somewhere else. We see this in NYC today: lots of businesses and restaurants have closed shop and left Manhattan because the real estate values (rents) are too high, and the people who shop there are moving out. Instead, Brooklyn is now the hip place where all the good restaurants are opening, as rents are cheaper there. Many employers are moving over there too.

So what exactly is the problem? There seems to be an underlying assumption to your writing that it's somehow a "disaster" if a city (or in this case, one district of a big city) loses its productive members and just has a bunch of wealthy people holding property there. Why is it? Sure, it sucks if you're middle class and can't afford the rent there, but you're free to move somewhere cheaper. Then businesses will have to pay higher wages to get service workers to commute farther, and if that fails, they'll just close shop or move to be near the workers. If it gets bad enough, the property values in the city (or district) will collapse, a bunch of rich bastards will lose a lot of money, and things will eventually return to normal.

If there's any government intervention needed, it's to encourage companies to move to where the workers are, perhaps with tax deductions. But cities already do that kind of thing. And don't forget, cities are in competition with each other. So cities which do a better job of managing themselves and doing urban planning to make sure service workers can live there are going to do better long-term than cities which don't. So I can see how municipalities have a good argument for getting involved (just as they already do with things like zoning and permitting and construction approval) but I don't see how this is in the interest of national governments. If a bunch of stupid NIMBYs in one particular city want to price out all their janitors and convenience-store workers, and then they can't get anyone to clean their toilets and don't have any local restaurants or shops, then let them.

There are absolutely predators out there. When your "mistake" is rape and you made that "mistake" repeatedly, that's a pretty good definition of a predator.

So what. There are a great many despicable things that have no place in our society yet are permitted in the rest of the world.

There is a dispute whether citizenship-by-maternityy is "natural born" under the Constitution (there's an argument that that "natural born" is equivalent to the birthright guarantee of the 14th Amendment, and no decisive case law.)
Because we are carnivores, secretly cheering at the misery of others, projecting injustices who happened to us - upon some poor fool who has to suffer for our stomach feelings to be satisfied. That whole - very animal process, is then written down and followed through rigidly- and the redecorated primal lashing out is called justice.

Yes, I would agree with that specific example too. I also got a chance to play an old NeoGeo cabinet with a game that was basically a jazzed up version of Pong... and it was still fun.

Some gameplay just clicks at a deep level, and if the visuals and the sounds are there (i.e. not a distraction at the very least) I think it's possible.
