An increasing number of websites force me to right-click to follow links; maybe JS can't trap it yet? In some places, the basic process to follow a link has become right-click, copy link, paste into text editor, filter URL through script to remove tracking crap, open new tab, paste result into URL bar.

Hmm. They also don't allow commingled for DVD, Blueray, etc. That sort of feels like a nod to the sticker tracking being more accurate, since those are highly lucrative to counterfeit. Maybe for returns though?
I think instant messaging also worked better in the PC era, when you knew people were active, "away" or altogether offline.

Near as I can tell, Google Talk was just their name for being able to use Hangouts via XMPP.

Or rather, since it came first, Hangouts was their name for the plan to eventually remove support for XMPP.
I wish I were so optimistic - if you use statistics, then you might remove most of interesting outliers and study just those more stable prevailing characteristics and not the problematic ones, like when using Hooke's law for designing buildings while ignoring its limited scope. And physics hits hard math limits while studying dynamic systems (i.e. fractals) anyway.

We can always use Ramsey Theory stating there is no chaos possible and you can always find some regularity in anything, yet if you need to scan 10^132 items to find the order it becomes quickly uninteresting.

This one I discovered in a local history book in Utah.
It is a coin from India 1830 that was found buried in Southern Utah as part of a Spanish cache. Apparently Spanish priests during that time were amassing good sums of gold from their native american converts and would bury their loot.

Amazon doesn't have any competitors? They are literally Walmart or Target + leasing access to their IT infrastructure. Name one thing that isn't AWS that doesn't overlap with Target/Walmart. And AWS literally maps to Walmart IT and Target IT, they just aren't interested in competing in that space (and rightly so).

As for AD:
An email address isn't an identity. I'm not sure why you would expect the two to match. I don't login to my mac with tw04@gmail.com, I don't expect to login to my Windows laptop with tw04@mydomain.com either.

The searching I can only surmise you were doing it wrong? I've never had an issue searching by first or last name in any tool whether it be the AD tools themselves or Outlook.

AD is a directory server, it can service a Windows environment or a Mac environment or a Linux environment. They've got a complete implementation of LDAP if you choose not to use AD auth on the client side. That being said: EVERYONE integrates with AD. Very few people integrate with anything else. I like having unified auth in my environment, perhaps you enjoy managing local hosts but that sounds disgusting to me.

I can read the GPL and know immediately the limitations of anything invoking that license. I cannot do that with every single blackbox terms and services agreement.

This is why I firmly believe the only way out of this mess is an international standard of common "service / license guarantees" and "terms and services" and hell, even "privacy policies" patterns that can be reused across software and services to immediately illuminate freedoms, limitations, and guarantees.
Its a poor argument to blame "the fine print" if you enter a train without a ticket. When the default is no permission it is pretty common understanding that you can't do it unless granted permission.

The legal argument around fair contracts is that a customer should not be tricked into agreeing to a unfair or hidden condition. For example, I can't sell a car and have a shrink wrap license that gives me permission to still use it after sale (ie, steal it back). Such contract condition would very fast be found to be illegal, and common sense say that a "sale" implies that I as a seller do no longer enjoy rights such as using the sold car after sale, regardless of trickery I might try with shrink wrap licenses.

To go back to the GPL case, its not a unfair contract condition that you need copyright permissions to distribute a copyright protected work. For the first thing there is no contract, and the second reason is that the condition is created by society and not the copyright holder.
If you use 40M+ optimization variables and a really really bad optimization technique (gradients), which is however fast, as is the case in DL, the amount of nice practical things (e.g. limits) you might be able to say could be very low.

Yes, we all were stunned when somebody pulled some awesome trick and found a better upper/lower bound on something, yet sometimes it's better to be realistic - maybe once we transfer to quantum computers, we can test more limits practically when utilizing parallel power of QP.

Read the article and it made me think about just how long the US hegemony will last, it's array of tools deployed against the rest of humanity is vast:

- It blackmails the rest of the globe with the biggest nuclear deterrence across land, sea, air and probably space.

- It ensures trading routes remain open by muscling American naval and air superiority. Not to benefit others or play fair, it's there to benefit American interests.

- It actively undermines and spies under 3 letter acronyms, including it's own citizens and allies to benefit American corporarchy [1]

- It consistently outspends the rest of the world combined on it's military upkeep which guarantees it's #1 postion.

Just how long on earth will such superficially-democratic superpower maintain it's hegemony? It's like holding everyone hostage and telling them to trade with each other by selling their own clothing or body with the US taking a cut on every transaction.

This is fucked.

Per Chrome's team an initial set of reportedly 127 certificates has expanded to include at least 30,000 certificates, issued over a period spanning several years see 2)

>When applying for using a certain frequency band, you have to specify usage and purpose, and you can't just change your mind, i.e. you can't apply for GSM frequencies and say you will be running a GSM network, but then run the PavelLishinOverAir protocol.

While this is mostly true, in practice (at least on the 450-470 MHz band I work with), you can give fairly vague purposes, like "telemetry" or "SCADA", and it doesn't matter what vendor or what protocol you use. In fact, there is no section of the licence that says "I am going to use protocol X on equipment Y manufactured by vendor Z" or any part thereof (emissions designators are a different story).

I don't have any experience will cellular licences, though. Given that carriers frequently repurpose spectrum as technology changes, I can't imagine their licences say "GSM only" or anything like that. The band that used to be 3G GSM is being used for 4G LTE on my phone right now.
Actually it's very well known in terms of MASIN and GEOINT. I once even interviewed with them back in the day, and they don't do a lot to hide their presence.

I wouldn't either. But emergency response is a very small portion of total healthcare costs.
Well, you can't do wildcard certs, which is fine for most businesses, but for some it's a non-starter. That doesn't make LE bad, of course, it just means it's not the appropriate tool for all use cases.
RNN is natively and obviously dynamical but FFNN can also be seen as transient dynamical system.

Little Ramsey theory ever used in neural network land, but theory of dynamical systems used from quite a long time ago, from Werbos-BPTT which was explicitly envisioned as a dynamical algorithm to the description of the dynamical instability of gradients in RNN.

First of all, I don't understand how the removal of the electoral college would cause an individual within a certain county to have more voting power, rather than less (wouldn't this be the case? Their "vote" would be equal to any of the other millions of Americans anywhere ? )

Second, I don't understand how in a "no electoral college" universe, the concept of a "county" is even relevant. With every vote being perfectly equal, one would think the balance of power would perfectly equalize across all voters.

> Walmart has enough cash to copy Amazon in everyway

Reality does not work that way, sometimes a cash rich company just does not get it.

Since you are so confident about the future I assume you have shorted Amazon and gone long on Walmart.
I agree that Amazon in Canada is not as good as in the US but we do have prime video now (primevideo.com) and, at least in Vancouver we now have 1 day shipping which is amazing.
You seem to be saying that VDOM gives no benefits, but in my experience the idea that your view is a function of your state that you can just completely recalculate whenever your state changes is a hugely useful abstraction that makes code much less bug-prone. And it is not available without VDOM because the performance would be terrible if you generated actual DOM this way and you would also lose state like scroll state that might not be reflected in your store. No doubt there are some tricky cases for VDOM. Maybe some of them even warrant using it only selectively although my experience has been that when I started compromising on the purity of the React/Redux model it caused problems. (And I will grant you that this in itself is a weakness of the model because sometimes you can't control where state lives.)

I guess that we see things differently.

On one hand, you see the economic value of airlines, cars and factories, so for you it justifies the environmental consequences that they have. Fair enough.

On the other hand, you don't see the economic value of asteroid mining and of getting things into space, so you talk about the consequences that it might have on the environment.

Did you know that asteroids represent an endless supply of rare metals (gold, platinum, etc.)? Take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroid_mining#Purpose if you don't believe me. This might represent the biggest economic opportunity of all times. And if we want to become a "multi-planetary species" as Elon Musk suggests, this will probably be essential.

Now, I personally tend to be more on the environment's side. So as long as we use those metals to build things on other planets and in space, I don't see any problem. We'll need to be responsible with this.

In terms of city government unionized labor salaries and equipment cost, or hiring a contractor cost, it can be VERY expensive per meter to dig up an existing concrete sidewalk/curb and road to run code compliant AC electrical to a parking meter. Or something like a bus stop arrival time sign. Looking at $20,000 per unit in some cases, or more. And then there's the question of where do you get the AC power from in a built up downtown type area, you can't just tap into the nearest building, it usually involves dealing with the electrical grid for the streetlight system which was not designed to support thousands of small accessory loads hanging off it.

I did an app in wxWidgets a while back, and it was really frustrating how many things didn't work as expected: I spent more time wiring up windows to work correctly than actually coding the app.

I don't know if wxWidgets has gotten any better over the years, and I can't remember the specific details of the problems -- just that certain windows HAD to be parents of certain others in order for them to work, even though there was no obvious reason why this would be the case, and there was no documentation explaining this.

The other two look interesting, though. I'll keep those around for future reference.

Exactly, we have social security here in the US. You can't opt out of that.
And yet you can opt out of even this "mandatory" insurance. How? Don't drive an automobile.

Does this make sense for your situation? Maybe it does, maybe doesn't. But no one will force you to spend your life working to pay auto insurance.
If your project has high turnover (say 20%+) then a blub language makes a lot of sense.

Any gains from using a richer language are dwarfed by extra time spent getting new developers up to speed.

I've worked on projects with an average tenure of 9 months and projects with an average tenure of 4 years. The approach you have to take is completely different.

There is just so much variation in our industry.

As an example the most important work I did on one project was setup and maintain a prebuilt dev environment image. It saved many dev years worth of effort. We were adding ~15 new devs/month.

On the other hand I've also worked on projects where setting up and maintaining a prebuilt dev environment would be a complete waste of resources. We were adding a new dev every ~18 months.
the only place it doesn't work for me is S3, and if I remember correctly s3 has always worked liked this, it's not the new ui specifically.

Oh yeah. They'll probably try that. That will either be defeated with tons of sweat as it largely was in products like OpenOffice or the legal recommendation modified to attempt to deal with it. It might also be handled in the courts if the law includes language that specifically instructs to attempt simple, readable protocols to "facilitate interoperability." Obfuscations could be argued as the opposite of that in court.

Richard P. Feynman (who else!) had a scathing critique of this: http://calteches.library.caltech.edu/2362/1/feynman.pdf

To quote him, in reference to new mathematics of the post-Sputnik era,

"In regard to this question of words, there is also in the new mathematics books a great deal of talk about the value of precise language - such things as that one must be very careful to distinguish a number from a numeral and, in general, a symbol from the object that it represents. The real problem in speech is not precise language. The problem is clear language. The desire is to have the idea clearly communicated
to the other person. It is only necessary to be precise when there is some doubt as to the meaning of a phrase, and then the precision should be put in the place where the doubt exists."
