Vote to Kill Retirement Acct Rule Draws Criticism from State-Level Republicans
When browsing the content, how does linking work? I mean, don't they kinda have to link to a hash? But how can they know the hash of a page when the links of that page are dependent on the other pages and this may be a circle?
I was also put on antidepressants as a teenager and am trying to get off them after well over a decade. It's a tricky task to distinguish the withdrawal effects (which can be extreme) from the difficult emotions that come with rediscovering how to face the world without the drugs. It really feels like a part of my personality was frozen in time when I went on the drugs, and that as I come off them slowly that part of me has thawed. And that can be painful, but also extremely rewarding. It forced me to acknowledge truths about myself that I resisted for many years. It forced me to be more real with people in my life. It's the realization that I was depressed for actual emotional reasons and not just because of some putative neurochemical imbalance, the idea of which in such huge numbers makes absolutely no evolutionary sense. A trait this common is not a disorder---it's a survival mechanism.
The digital assistants don't have recorded phrases, it's speech synthesis. Someone once speaks a lot of text that contains all the different sounds that make up words, and that's then sliced and the input for the synthesis. A lot more work than just recording a small set of phrases.

And of course a persona is more than the pure voice, but also writing and how they use their voice to say things.

> "I recorded four hours a day, five days a week for the month of July," […]

> The goal is to try to include every possible sound (usually drawn from a syllable-long building block) so they can be assembled in every possible combination for every possible word. To record these, voice actors are forced to recite gibberish-like sentences that include all of the English language's different sounds […] including absurd phrases like "oil your mills jewel weed today."
Notes isn't that bad but if you want a good experience with it you need a fulltime Notes developer/admin.
That's one approach, but for something that amounts to a build step the ideal case is not to have to press a button. For one thing, in a case like this the source images are probably in a repository and the converted images aren't, so you can wind up needing to open Inkscape and run the script to keep them in sync.

100% test coverage is an ambiguous term. Is it line coverage, branch coverage, and do the branches include arithmetic nonlinearity branches and exception flags? Are all possibly syscall error states tested?

One hundred percent line coverage is admirable, but it's just a start! (Edit: I see that they had far more than just 100% line coverage, but as you can see even this is not enough to find all cases.)
> Deregulation sometimes works, but here it clearly fails

We haven't had a deregulated healthcare industry/market in the United States for a very long time (in fact, "healthcare" as we know it never existed in the US without massive regulation). I'm not sure anyone can make that claim based on real evidence, at least not in the US.
FYI for Americans: when you describe pizza as pie and non-American English speakers are listening, their inner child recoils in horror.

pizza = flat thing with cheese on top, pizza base at bottom

pie = closed thing with significant vertical component, pastry on top and bottom

Otherwise, every flatbread or similar thing on earth is a pie. Observe: "Oh, I really dig these Indian roti-pies". "Pass me another naan-pie". "Papadam pie party!". "The omlette is my favourite pie!". "Cheese toasties are a way better pies than pizza!". "A breakfast of pancake: how I love a pie in the morning!" It's insane.
No.

Why bother with a technological anti-censorship solution for Wikipedia when the obvious solution is to just attack the content directly.

If a censoring body wants some information gone, just devote some attention to lobbying the various gatekeepers in Wikipedia.
There's nothing a library can add to make things "safer" when it comes to application-specific constraints. If I'm checking to make sure I only accept a specific algorithm, I'm not going to blame a crypto library for validating something that is technically accurate (short of maybe disabling the "none" algorithm by default). You should also be in possession of at least the public key beforehand, and rely on that for authentication, rather than anything in the claim.
I'd be interested to know what you're suggesting here. The way Mastodon works is that on a given instance there is a local timeline, and you can see everything people toot on that. Additionally, anything tooted by a followee of a local user appears in the federated timeline, as does anything boosted by a local user. It seems obvious that these are desirable features.

What sort of gate-keeping are you suggesting? Things tooted on other instances don't turn up unless there's a reason - what then would you then require in addition?
This product is clearly completely and grossly inadequate due to its lack of Blockchain.
I never edit articles on Wikipedia, so I just looked up how it is done there. The editing users are currently merging the changes. The same could be done with Ethereum and a contract. (Although it would be a bit tricky right now because the computational cost of calculating a diff for complex articles would make the operation expensive).

However, there're a couple of outstanding Ethereum Updates that would make this process easier and faster. I'd suppose that in around one year it should be possible to implement this in a fast and cheap way.

Alternatively, one could use 'Whisper', which is Ethereum's 0MQ alternative, and let multiple users work on the same document at the same time (like Google Docs or a multitude of other editors).

Ethereum is still a very young project, but it would allow to implement a truly decentralized Wikipedia.

The link "which claims that one of the great attributes of Sanskrit is that the same sentence can have two or more completely different meanings" explains clearly how this happens. Names in Sanskrit are simply descriptive attributes. Things traditionally have many names (which are simply descriptions of different aspects) but that seems unimportant in this context.

I don't see how that interferes with it being used as a programming language, although it doesn't seem particularly useful for the AI problems it was proposed for. There is also no need to carry over the tradition of referring to the same thing with different descriptions in a programming context.

It seems kinda neat that every name is necessarily descriptive as well.

Am I missing something, perhaps the ambiguity goes deeper than that?
Modularity and Agile Architecture
Most healthy life plan I've seen so far. How did you get there? E.g. what brought you to meditating or taking a walk every afternoon.
This view seems optimistic. I think you are overestimating the role of technical factors in political decisions.
They are rolling out Docsis 3.1 in pretty wide areas. Sooner rather than later you'll be able to get way over 60mbit. And 60 mbit is nothing to sneeze at.

>I don't want or need my ISP to be innovative. I want a dumb, no BS pipe that offers a decent price without bundling, since I don't need tv or a phone

No, you don't want it to be a dumb pipe. You want an ever increasingly fast service. If they installed a dumb pipe in 2003 and never upgraded you'd be mad as hell.

IME when it comes to converting SVGs your only quality options tend to be Batik or Inkscape. Neither is particularly lightweight, but so is SVG. Sure, trivial shapes and paint servers should work with pretty much anything, but things tend to not stay that trivial.

Do you have domains you would rent-to-own?
Well, given that your other recent posts show up fine, i doubt it's actually that. So might be worth asking what happened in any case. Plus, that docking post is really good and i'd like more people to think that open-minded.
> What do I as a taxpayer get out of spending my tax dollars so my waitress was able to obtain her unusable education degree? It certainly doesn't make her a better waitress

Eh... Taxes are a tricky subject. I think it's unproductive to make arguments based on what is owed to you in return for your contribution to taxes. Sure, our taxes pay for infrastructure, and we have an expectation for that infrastructure to work properly. But, when you extend it to matters such as "paying for someone else's education" and expecting something in return, it just doesn't sound "right."

No one owes you anything, even if an indiscernible amount of that was funding that person's education. Taxes are a social construct allowing our elected officials to allocate resources to what's needed.

So, the problem isn't so much that your taxes aren't being utilized to give you something in return (the frivolous education of your barista), but the underlying problem is the excessive funding to education that exacerbates all the waste to happen.
My equivalent of that, when I have a bad day and/or was working primarily on conceptual stuff, is to find some low-hanging refactoring fruit (like a typo a cow-orker made in a class name) that I can do in 2 minutes and that will touch several files, so there's some movement from me on source control. I tend to notice and note down such "high-noise/low-importance" quick fixes, so that the next time I spend few days grappling with huge architectural issues, I don't hear "you didn't commit anything in the past few days, what's wrong".
Listen, I get that there are other parts of the world experiencing serious "technical difficulties" lately...

I used to be in telly too. We knew last decade that YouTube would soon be a better television than television, and right now it's true. (YouTube, iPlayer, whatever.) I still (proudly) pay my TV license, but all our BBC is over the net; I haven't owned a physical TV for eight or so years.

The mass media have suffered the effects of the Internet much in the manner of the record industry, as consumers, conclusively sick of their shit, withdraw their attention. Their worry has gone from piracy to ... being ignored.

From https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-08-19/nbc-s-12-... :

> Back in June, Steve Burke described what he called his Olympics “nightmare.” “We wake up someday and the ratings are down 20 percent,” the chief executive officer of NBCUniversal said at a conference. “If that happens, my prediction would be that millennials had been in a Facebook bubble or a Snapchat bubble and the Olympics have come, and they didn’t know it.”

I'm 50 (Gen X), but this was me. I literally had no idea the Olympics had actually started until occasional posts about it showed up on Tumblr. Nor did I realise it was in Rio until then.

My daughter, now 10, has watched TV entirely on a computer from age 2. (Sysadmin parent = house with lots of spare obsolete boxes.) She spends her life on YouTube. (Watching Let's Play videos. StampyCat and DanTDM rock her world - they are the Saturday morning cartoons of her generation.) I tell her horror stories of my day, when there were three channels and they only showed stuff at a particular time and if you missed it you couldn’t watch it again ... She laughs at me.

The media hegemony broke absolutely the moment we could get the hell away from them. Now people watch TV because they want to, not because there's no other way to get there.

I've previously made my proposal to the JOSE IETF mailing list. The participants just held their nose up to it.

Our focus has been on giving as much free value at https://www.cluboid.com as we can.

We mostly do this through our blog to pick up traffic like @JoshDoody mentioned below, but we try to capture the email by pay-walling (which I was MASSIVELY against at first) with a subscription page popup.

From there we drip feed them value before ever mentioning our own product.

However, without a decent backlink profile it can seem like you're not getting anywhere, so do bear in mind that SEO is the other side of the coin here.
That was my thought as well. Islam has had the printing press nearly as long as Christian Europe but never had a reformation. It takes more than just technology to explain the Reformation.
sounds like a real-world Chaos Monkey
So it sounds like there are really 2 use cases here.

Use case 1: I give you an IP, can you find any useful information in that IP such as rack, datacenter, etc?

Use case 2: I'm less certain of this: I assign a big subnet to a smaller number of nodes and that subnet is essentially your "ring" size for something that shards. Allowing you to always send data for shard #1 to the same ip.

I'm definitely not a fan of the latter. I'd rather most app developers treat an IP as an opaque piece of data. 128 bits is alot of addresses but it's really not that much space for metadata.
"First world" nowadays effectively includes much of the original "Third world" (such as Sweden, Finland, Austria, Switzerland, France, Yugoslavia or Mexico ).

It means they know they started to lose the obscurity advantage, and since now they are exposed, they resort to misleading the public, to reduce the impact.

Second part of their tactic is to say that Net Neutrality should be protected by the Congress, where they hope to have enough leverage to pass fake NN laws that don't protect anything, while pretending they support NN.

So if that happens, public will have to put a lot of pressure on lawmakers to prevent that outcome.
>People believe all kinds of crazy things, but it's undisputed that Protestantism has been generations ahead of Catholicism in social change.

That's only superficial, as protestant countries (and especially calvinist ones) transcribed into everyday non-religious morals all kinds of religious tenets, from the "protestant work ethic" to modern versions of puritanism like "political correctness".
The problem is "PCIe bandwidth" is really bad. PCIe 3.0x16 is only 16 GB/s, which again is less than half of you would get from any old DDR4 memory. You might as well do that on the CPU then.

NVLink is fine as far as it goes... the problem is it's a two-party transaction, NVLink still has to be fed by something and that's either another GPU or the CPU or something like a SSD via DMA. With a database type program, the CPU and GPU use-cases are pointless because you could just be doing the search there and returning results directly instead of device-to-device DMA. And NVMe SSDs are usually limited to PCIe 2.0x4 which is 2 GB/s. Absolute maximum, 16 GB/s, same as any other PCIe-attached device.

Remember, GPUs aren't always used on compute-bound tasks. There is a very valid use-case for I/O bound tasks where you are just using it as a super-cache. GPU database programs often (but not always) fall into that category. You are just searching indexes/target columns like crazy and throwing the resulting row IDs back over the wall to the CPU.
If the competition is already charging $10 but could get by just fine if they charged $5, then that means they have far more capital available than you do and can afford to wait for you to go out of business.

It also means they have additional capital to

a) Advertise more

b) Improve ingredients and taste

c) Do all sorts of things to improve the customer experience.

In short, there are benefits to charging more from the outset that aren't always obvious until you're playing catchup.

Even on that metric there's not a lot of downside vs. typical monopoly/duopoly ISPs. I have 20ms of last-mile latency on ATT.
Why do all people need insanely fast broadband speeds and data download limits? I think the fact that a small percentage of the population wants those speeds should not dictate what the larger percentage of the population has to pay for. NN hurts low-income internet users.

Ha, this is exactly the other language that came to mind when I saw this article. I love Hangul, but a lot of its "scientific"-ness comes from it being so recent that the spoken pronunciation hasn't drifted from the written form. There just a few rules for changing sounds, and they're quite regular.

Unfortunately the people in charge of the Revised Romanization decided that these rules should be applied to the Roman alphabet as well, so we have execrable constructions like "Daegu" or "bibimbab" which can't be pronounced from English spelling rules.
