As someone who has drafted legislation, I can say with some confidence that if the only difference is the introduction of software programmers, that is positive as they are - on whole - more likely to bear a sense of reason and popular morality than those writing legislation right now.

With the introduction of explicit algorithms we also hopefully will have the advantage of better data collection, which arguably can make it harder to justify changes that operate in contrast to stated principles. (Contrast much legislation that serves purposes entirely orthogonal to their stated intent - and which survive because of the lack of data and accountability that would reveal their abject failures at all but their ulterior motives)

Heh, sure. I think you took it in a couple directions I didn't necessarily agree with myself, and as a maintainer of Redux I'm _very_ biased in its favor. But, the writeups were excellent overall, and definitely worth including as relevant reading material.
Don't be so hysterical, you're not being silenced.
I wouldn't underestimate the need to associate positive emotion with AR in the early stages. Technophobia is a natural reaction when technology can alter our relationship with our environment. The opposite of silly can be unsettling. The Facebook social network is primarily a consumer product. Focusing first on applications with more societal value but narrower appeal (therapy for example) would be a business mistake. The stakes are also lower. No one gets hurt if a hat is misplaced on your shoulder.

It is a misallocation of effort if maximizing social value is the goal. But it's not. Profit is an imperfect proxy.
Seems like you might be better served with a linux desktop and windows in a VM then.

Most of them!

The minimap extension is made easy because they can just throw some HTML in a side pane, the image preview plugin just leverages the image displaying abilities of the browser, custom styling is as easy as throwing some CSS in a file, the extensions which let you preview the web page you are working on right in the browser use the full extent of the browser, the plugin that lets you easily preview markdown just uses a simple markdown->html converter then just displays the HTML/css. Themes are just a set of CSS which targets certain classes. Plugins can move, change, hide, show, do anything.

It also let's plugin authors do things the original developers never imagined possible. 3D object preview using webgl in a custom pane, replacing the whole implementation of tabs with something else, completely redesigning how the sidebar works and looks because it's all just HTML.

And while none of that can ONLY be done in a browser, the fact that a browser is the UI means that it's much easier, much quicker, and much more maintainable.
I stayed in both for extended periods of time many many times and Bangkok was love at first sight, though it get tiring after some time, KL not that much, but as for your hygiene comment I think they are pretty much on par, it's just that BKK is significantly bigger city so it might look a bit dirtier but in reality KL for its size is also pretty dirty despite being richer

though I would take nowadays Georgetown over both of them and maybe dare even to say I would prefer Kanchanaburi over Bangkok, their night market next to train station is amazing, went there for every dinner always when visiting, somehow I got tired of these bigger Asian cities and can enjoy the small as well (this coming from someone who lived in 20mil Beijing for years, so KL is pretty much village like most of European capitals by population)

Spouses of L and J visa holders are able to work; and as you said, 860K immigrants are added to the system every year.

I don't quite understand the grief over spouses of H visa holders from India and China being allowed to work legally. The family, by then, have filed for a green card, made clear indication of wanting to immigrate to the country and are not allowed to do so only because of unfair per-country quota limits.

As an aside, I hope HR 392 [1] passes. It eases out the per-country quota limits for skilled immigration over 5 years. It currently has 173 co-sponsors in the house.

Uh, the API Gateway can't handle binary requests/responses very well and it certainly cannot handle multipart requests/responses. Additionally it has a 30 second timeout so I would say it's definitely not something you could just replace your hosted web server with completely yet.

"If I am so wrong, crazy and stupid, why do so very many people need to step up and inform me of my error?"

You're putting words into peoples' mouths - no one has called you crazy or stupid.

In fact, most people are not even saying you are wrong, hence that they are prefacing their responses with "Really?" or "Interesting..." because their experiences have been different.

Since it isn't, I suspect there's opportunity for you to change jobs or roles to trade off for the comparative advantages you have in your current role (maybe you have lots of opportunity to learn or have a pay premium).

I suspect that your situation is temporary, and once you have accomplished the short-term objectives you have in mind, you'll take advantage of a better opportunity.

How to fool AI
AR is a human interface (transparent head mounted display) plus reality capture.

HMD lets humans interface with the world of the computer. Reality capture lets the computer interface with the world of humans.

Reality capture feeds smart contracts; if the AR cameras see you're low on some stock, "the computer" can order more, and direct the people to pick them up. Smart contracts are a reasonable mechanism for doing that.

Block chain is a shared ledger that's suitable for multiple entities tracking anything (say, reality) together, and a communications medium that's good for things that need to be auditable (say, tasks).
I've been struggling to understand how WebAssembly will change things on the web. Will you be able to compile an arbitrary C/C++ binary to run on a browser? Will syscalls be emulated? What about the filesystem?

It looks like to get such a thing working we would need an OS running on top of JS. But maybe I'm missing something.
If they did so, then the scope of their study wouldn't be national; it would only be regional. It wouldn't be relevant to national employment.

Births and deaths are derivatives. Thus a 25% spike is basically just an adjustment to reflect smaller (~2-3%) errors in the non-census years. To put numbers to this: imagine 100 people were born every year between 1991 and 2000, inclusive. The statistics only recorded 98 people being born every year, though. We then did a census, and discovered that the number of people <10 years old in 2000 was 1000 people, thus we recorded a number of births as 118 (since we thought that 882 people had been born so far in 1991-1999), and then back down to 100 in the next year.
Yep, we've seen years of cut-backs on the vocational side because parents believe their kids must go to college... so we're left with a system designed for the era of straight-out-of-highschool vocational workers, operating in a parental environment that sees college as an absolute necessity, and labor market where most of those degrees equate to expensive GEDs.

Terribly inefficient. The whole system warrants refactoring.

K-12, tradeschools, internships/apprenticeships, college, med/law schools, adult retraining, enlistment, officer training... it's a ball of spaghetti. We need to review each component and the overall system through the lens of modern societal and economic needs.
Hi, I'm Joe also on the Relay team.

Relay Modern (as with previous versions) supports an injectable network layer. This allows each application to customize how to communicate with its GraphQL server using whatever transport protocol is most appropriate (for example you might use HTTP for queries/mutations and WebSockets for subscriptions).
This is neat! Have you tried to get it running in a Jupyter notebook?

I have no idea what the Santa Clara judge was thinking, but I think he just made a whole lot of women feel like taking such things to court will actually make things work. I'm pretty sure Neha will get beaten up even more after Guttani leaves in 13 days.

Why would he even care if he gets deported. Does America really want scum like this? Silicon Valley investors will invest in his company anyway, just the way United stock has sprung back.

This makes me incredibly sad how such actions go away unpunished without any serious repercussions.
Ah, it is because we do not want to create too much chaos for people to migrate between codebases. Evan and I had played both scenarios and decided that it is cleaner to put the code in separate codebases. A lot of the runtime code are shared, and we are working on the migration tools - such as model converters - that helps migration. If there are bugs in these tools, shoot us an issue on github and we'll fix it.

If your basic economic principle argument held much water, every investment banker would have moved to a lower tax locale decades ago.

The reality is that people weigh these costs against many factors and locales, clusters of business, family and institutions have powerful effects that add friction.

From a practical standpoint, the investment banker pulling in a $500k bonus in NYC with its 11.5% marginal tax rate doesn't move to New Hampshire because he'd take a 50% or more compensation haircut.

> Reducing the download cost is an attempt to get more people to see B2 as an S3 replacement, right?

A price drop MIGHT open new markets to us. What those markets are are kind of an internal debate at Backblaze. What we agree on is that we priced outbound bandwidth incorrectly when we launched B2. We know this for two reasons:

A) The price Backblaze pays bandwidth is WAAAAAY lower than 5 cents per GByte.

B) Almost nobody is choosing to use Backblaze as a CDN or website server or a large source of outbound data.

One new market might be making B2 more attractive as a CDN or website server. It is my understanding that CDN customers use the CDN because of two things: 1) cheap download prices and 2) fault tolerance and reliability and distribution all over the world.

Most CDNs charge about 2 cents/GByte or maybe a little more.

If B2 outbound bandwidth prices drop below what CDNs charge, then SOME of their customers might consider B2 as one part of their solution.

In my humble opinion we are still overpriced, but the reason we're dropping prices slowly is because we're slightly terrified of becoming too attractive too fast and not being able to handle the onslaught as the world abandons all the other CDNs and goes with B2 since we are so much cheaper. So we're going slowly at first while we ramp up, and then we can drop prices much more in the future as we gain comfort with serving up gigantic amounts of cached data.

> Did Backblaze ever expand into its promised second datacenter?

In the process of. Servers are sitting in the new datacenter powered up and talking with each other (and even have customer data on them), but we do not yet let customers choose which datacenter their data lands in (or choose to duplicate their data between).
Maybe their core product, but not their flagship product.

Theranos was built on the promise of an amazing new tech for blood testing, not on the promise of blood testing.

By "flagship product" I mean the thing you're basing your corporate identity on. Like the stereotypical waiter in LA, they're actually an actor; their identity (flagship product) is actor, but their day job (released/core products) is something else.
Yeah, Caffe2 has the same root as Caffe, so you'll see the image side really polished - for object recognition, AR, etc.

Over the next weeks/months we'll share more examples on other applications such as RNNs.
I've heard API Gateway is painful to configure but that frameworks like serverless.com help a lot.

But I'm surprised to hear that Lambda gets costly. Is this from real experience or is it just theoretical? My impression was that Lambda saves you money by not having to pay for excess capacity. But I haven't done the math. I'll admit, it's also appealing to not even have to worry about configuring a web server cluster to scale up and down.
Avoid Phuket, Pattaya, Samui, eastern Ko Chang, Ko Lanta, etc.

what I can recommend is Ko Phangan if you want developed island but still not completely ruined by tourism, but if you really wanna enjoy small islands then check Ko Jum and Ko Chang on western coast, have fond memories of both of them, one of them has no cars, no power lines, actually maybe both, their quality of water ain't that amazing as some other islands but it's well compensated by relax

but personally my best experience from half year spent in Thailand on multiple visits was Mae Hong Son loop (preferable start in Pai), stunning landscapes to enjoy from seat of motorbike and also great relax around Pai, reserve at least week for that 700km loop, though it can be done in 4 stages but you don't want to rush especially in Pai

the oldest national park east from Bangkok is also quite nice, though it's better to go there during workdays when it's not flooded by all Bangkok, but you can find real jungle with leeches on your legs and get lost

my another favorite place is Kanchanaburi with great night market and nice daily motorbike trips to Hellfire pass with Death railway and other day Erawan waterfalls

actually the sea in Thailand ain't that special, if your eally are into amazing beaches then better go to Philippines or Indonesia

btw. summer is rainy season, better go there from november-april, in summer would be better to go to Perhentian Kecil on northeast coast of Malaysia, that's amazing place with pristine clear water, cheap diving, amazing life under water even with snorkelling including small sharks (not the dangerous ones) coming right to beach close to edge of water, plus on western coast you can head to food capital of world in Georgetown on Penang island plus enjoy Cameron Highlands with great trails for hiking in jungle or enjoying beautiful tea plantations plus touristy but pretty Melaka and diverse KL, both countries are great

> current crop of web developers are too young to remember dark age of Internet Explorer domination.

How does that happen? I'm not even 30 and I remember when IE6 was new. Does everyone burn out or move into management by 26 or what?

Programming is really a weird field in that it seems to lose a lot of its workmen just as they start maturing into the experience level that yields a productive stride in other fields.

I know some make the argument that programming is a young man's game due to the required mental acuity, but I don't really buy that. Perhaps as people get older, they become increasingly less interested in staring into the computer and seek more social forms of employment?

We've got to be losing a huge amount of productivity by seeing experienced developers drop off the map before they hit 40.

In physics, we want explanations that are really crazy enough. Okay: It turns out that space-time curvature has an upper limit, and at that limit the curvature suddenly flattens with a big release of energy.

Now, if I knew enough physics to evaluate this crazy guess, then I would, but I won't until I make more progress with my startup!

As for Simons who pays for Quanta, make money first, do theoretical, cosmological physics later!

Do you not understand where the world is headed in the mid 21st century (years 2040-2070), solely because of the US? We are going to experience World War 3, wholly and entirely because of the politics of the US. Oh sure, it will be "because of external forces" (55% Middle East, 15% North Korea, 15% Russia, 10% China, 5% India"). But the US is going to be why 30-60% of the planet's population is exterminated in a matter of 5-10 years' time in WW3.

Perhaps you have no idea just how influential the US is in the world's potential for war, even though the US does not account for the majority of the world's population. The US wants to own the entire nuclear arsenal, while decreeing that any other nation who does the same is a "dangerous enemy". The US has no right to be the "majority shareholder of nuclear arms".

The US is not "the center of the universe". Over and over again in the media, American publications are brainwashing their citizens into believing they are the central power of the planet. Fuck that. Other nations are going to fight back. And it's going to result in a loss for all of us. And it will start with the US instigating the conflict.

tldr; The US believes they are in control. The rest of the world is going to tell you to fuck off, and it will result in a war with billions of deaths... all because Americans feel like their lives are innately worth more than those from any other nation. You're wrong. RIP Planet Earth, all because one nation believes themselves to be the centre of everything.
Not in Phoenix but this made me lol.
