I switched to Fastmail from GMail a month ago and I have no reason to complain. Spam filtering is indeed not as good as at GM but good enough.

It receives mail and sends mail.

There is anyway absolutely no other competitor in the game b/c FM and GM are the only web mail services offering a reasonable 2FA solution. I checked 'em all and would have preferred a different provider as their servers are located in NYC.

My motivation was to avoid having too much of my stuff depending on and catering to the Google Datenkrake.
Your link do not makes any sense.

Any real expert in dolphins can tell you that dolphins can not be safely sedated because, unlike us, the breath in cetaceans is voluntary. Basic zoology principles. Yes, zoologists and vets are professionals for something. They studied a lot of years and know their stuff. Surgery in dolphins is always a risk. If you put a dolphin to sleep, the dolphin "forgets to breath" and dies quickly.

Therefore the author of the article wrote some very unlikely accusations without any clear proof (and obviously do not know much about real dolphins). The idea of sedating dolphins regularly in a show for any extended period of time just because they "don't feel like dancing today" is ludicrous. This kind of defamatory articles are sadly as common as successful collecting money from their naive public.
Your political stance doesn't change that what you wrote is simply wrong. They did not get a patent for the Fourier transform but for something completely new which no one thought of before.

Fraunhofer would not have developed audio compression if they couldn't earn money with it (they are a non-profit by the way and the money earned funds new research). That's their business model. They have novel ideas, do hard work to make them possible, and sell that to companies. Are you suggesting people shouldn't get paid to do their work?

Missing from this article is the most fascinating thing about this story- why someone thought it was a good idea to make the cat litter substitution that made this whole mess possible.

In Los Alamos, those charged with repackaging the waste were hearing a speech by an expert on the matter. The expert warned they should be using "INorganic cat litter", which they already were. What a member of the group heard was "AN organic cat litter".

The two look very different in print, but when spoken, they're often indistinguishable to a non-chemist. When the discussion made its way to memos and emails, the die was cast.

VR sickness is primarily caused by latency. ie you move your head, the image takes a few milliseconds to respond and you feel dizzy. But there are other types of VR sickness, like the inability to focus on an object. This research improves your ability to focus on objects at different depths. Your vision is less blurry. So yes, this research does help eliminate nausea in VR. To say otherwise is misleading.
Ha! I've been in the same position, reading what I can and looking out for a good application to try it on.

I saw a quote around here like "Data has gravity; the computation will move to it." (I think this was Nadella at Build.) This is true for ML in a way that was not true for previous computer applications (I mean, mainstream applications of computers). You could write an image filter or an audio effect (or a spreadsheet, or a mail client, etc) with no data at all (or a small amount of ad-hoc test data). But this suggests a subversion in the problem-finding process. Instead of thinking about what problems algorithms could solve, you have to look for large corpuses of data. It does feel like a paradigm shift that should engage our self-interest, if nothing else.

The touchbar at time is slow and stutters.

The touch pad is too big and very often gets spurious inputs when typing. It acts like a "good PC touch pad", not the perfection of only a generation ago.

Power management with external monitors is also hit and miss. The device will often not wake in closed lid mode with presses to the keyboard.

The inclusion of Touch ID is great but whatever changes done under ttt hood has turned searching Keychain manager into molasses.

All in all this is the worst Mac laptop I've ever purchased, and I've purchased 1-2 per year since 2000. The only thing keeping me on the hardware is OS X.

I have to say M$'s new hardware looks very tempting.

Can't see the original now, someone flagged it. Even so:

- Yes, there are IIRC updates not requiring restart ("not every" <=> "some exist that do not have the property").

- Not updating your existing system is indeed dangerous. Updating your Windows system...is sometimes even more dangerous: I was on the receiving end of "Where do you want to go today? Never mind, you want to upgrade to WinX; stop whining, we know you want it!" That said, there are far more dangerous MS FUD campaigns, I think.

- The final question is quite different to your original claim, IIRC; but yes, Win10 IMNSHO falls squarely under "malware," and thus I'm not using it. Not even using Windows, FWIW. Even better, the GWX fiasco helped me persuade people to move off Windows altogether.
It is true, we are experts at effecting the social death so that the continued existence of the body is only a lingering triviality.

They should have been monitoring the traffic within their infrastructure. I can understand rolling something out for a couple of months but two years is a bit excessive for this type of use case.

It's like going to a pump that counts two gallons as one for two years, pretend you don't know any better then have the nerve to ask the owner for a refund after the meter is fixed.
Maybe they did/do? I was surprised and skeptical at some point, about all the heat around video streaming. Codecs and speed improvements have made me a believer.
I don't think that is true at all. It is neither unachievable as many people have achieved this already* - I don't see any reason why it should alienate me - I believe this state rather goes along with being more compassionate and empathetic - so I'd argue the opposite is true.

* to give you one random example coming to mind - the journalist in Mexico who got killed by murderers from a drug cartel past week knew very well what was at stake and chose to keep doing his job - so I'd argue he managed to come to terms with having to die. it's an extreme example but reaching this mental state is likely easier in less extreme life circumstances - those most of us are impacted by.
Congratulations Lea Verou and MIT CSAIL!

I'm curious about if you've done any research with this experiment yet and if so where can I find it? I'm very curious on ways to make programming more friendly/approachable, but I have found very little research that even begins to examine what a friendly/approachable programming language would even look like.
> I don't know what you mean by 'doesn't exist.'

I mean that it's not a separate legal category, it's more of a colloquial thing. Legally, there is property and contract law, and people use that "for investment purposes", but it's largely the same law that applies whether you buy an apple that you want to eat or a share of apple that you want to hold to earn money: You become the (co-)owner.

> A service contract, first and foremost, is a contract between a provider and a purchaser

Yeah, and a bond is first and foremost a contract between a "provider" and a purchaser. And it so happens that bond contracts commonly specify payments in money, but that's legally not all that different from a contract that instead specifies payments in apples or email service or whatever.

> It does have a value, but, much of the time, a B2C service contract isn't a thing that is traded or sold.

Which is relevant to the distinction how? Can you sell a fixed-term deposit to a third party? Sometimes you can, sometimes you can't, but how does that change that it's quite obviously an investment?

> I certainly don't know anyone who is buying email service with the intent of reselling them for a profit, do you?

There is no need to resell for something to be an investment? But even if there were, that doesn't influence the legal status: Even if noone ever resold their bonds and there was no market to do so, that would not excuse the issuing party from paying interest.

There is a lot details to work out of course but Musk surely has thought about this more than you or me, with a brain that is optimized for this sort of thing. He has the clout to talk to the best people in the field, people to do computer simulations, and a record of success in very hard businesses. He is serious about this. Look at the open jobs list. More people trying and doing and less people just criticizing the better. My biggest concern would be Musk spreading too much of his focus away from SpaceX and having that venture flounder.
Clemency covers both pardons and commutations of sentences.
There's a big difference between "will help reduce nausea" and "will eliminate nausea".
As a tangent, this also reminds me of what an NYTimes op-ed columnist wrote about the current administration:

> Truth be told, the incessant lying by this president and the elaborate apparatus he has built in the White House to bend reality to meet those lies means that nothing they say is to be believed anyway, but this is of a different nature. This says to America: I’m going to tell you a lie that is so outrageous that you will want to believe that some part of it is true, to preserve your faith in truth, democracy and mankind.

No one wants to believe they made a bad decision because like you said, they want to be doers of good.
>If science can't fully explain how and why that process can happen, how can psychiatry or psychology be so confident that they can determine how to cure or treat psychopathy at 3-or-4 years old?.

They aren't. Psychiatry is often the least worst option, in a given situation. The tools are primitive, the process is not understood, and the chances of a successful response is not great. But, this has to be balanced against the cost of doing nothing at all.

Additionally, many of the medications in use have been around for 50+ years, consequently have relatively well known outcomes and side effects, even if we aren't really sure how they work, or if they will in a given situation.
I should have been more clear, but I think people here are reading too much from I said. It's useless to try to repair it, but I just want to explain what I intended to say.

First, I wasn't implying investors are bad people. In fact, I tried to imply the opposite.

What I meant was that a lot of people (at least people I know) blame companies for making decisions that cut jobs, and investors for pushing in these directions.

But at the same time, nobody is so selfless in their own life decisions in order to sacrifice their careers for someone they don't know. In fact, most people will consciously decide to earn more and make their lives better even if that means other people will lose their jobs. For example, I doubt any software developer will ever change careers just because the software he works on will cause half of the sales team to be fired. That's what I mean by people not being so selfless in their own life decisions.

But when it comes to losing their own jobs, it's common to hear people say that companies or investors could decide take the loss, earn less and keep these jobs, like the decision was a choice between saving lives or killing puppies for 10 cents more, and someone is just too greedy.

So, by "expecting investors to grow this moral guideline", I didn't mean they don't have a moral guideline. I meant people expect a much higher moral guideline that would make them sacrifice themselves in favor of the greater good, while other people don't actually do it themselves.
> unlawfully killed trans people

As a Dutch person I was very confused for a minute, but then I remembered there are indeed lawfully killed people in other countries.

(And while writing this, I remembered euthanesia is legal here, but that's not killing in my mind because the person chose it for themselves and the given reason cannot be an external, solvable condition.)

I'm a new customer as of a few months ago. I created a support ticket when I ran into a glitch of some sort (manually entered a dozen contacts, they showed up in the address book, but when I refreshed the webpage, the contacts disappeared).

There wasn't much the support people could do, and I could see why someone might think I was just someone who didn't know what they were doing, but they didn't come off as unprofessional or anything to me.

That sucks you had that experience, but it does not seem to be the norm.
I am just getting into it, but I am primarily looking at it because I have about 8 months worth of home automation sensor data stored in a MySQL database thanks to my home automation software (thanks home-assistant!) and I want to see if ML can look at patterns from that sensor data and infer what to do in my apartment.

For instance when I get home (gps sensor) and when I open my front door (door binary sensor), can a system understand that I typically turn my TV on when that happens?
I'm a child and adolescent forensic psychiatrist. The omission of psychopathy from the DSM was a considered decision, but not everyone agreed with it.

People with psychopathy often exhibit antisocial / criminal behavior, but not everyone who exhibits criminal behavior has the deficit of empathy that characterizes psychopathy.

I work in juvenile prisons, and most of the kids have had a very difficult life and have never been able to trust or rely on the adults in their lives who were supposed to take care of them. Almost all of these, with patience and kindness, can learn what it means to trust someone. Others struggle with it, and don't grasp the value of other people beyond what that person can do for them.

What I do think is much sensationalized is the idea that psychopaths enjoy violence. This can be true, but is hardly a hallmark. Most of them are best described as callous, and are not deterred by the effect of their actions on others, but aren't violent for the sake of being violent.
There was no discussion of a mobile SKU that I could see, which is what made me wonder when I read the news. If you look at Intel presentations, and over the years I've looked at a lot of them, they tend to present 'complete' families of their lines. So the budget sku, the high power sku, the low power sku, the enthusiast sku, etc. the ones you would put in laptops seemed to be missing.

There are probably more than one possible explanations about that, but one that has happened in the past has been a vendor has asked for (and received) Intel's commitment to give them all of the early production.

And so I thought "I wonder if this is the part in the rumoured Surface Pro 5?" but it wasn't because Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop. And now we here "ooh, big Apple announcement coming up." and I note that the last Macbook pro announcement was underwhelming to say the least, and Microsoft is making annoying[1] noises about how their laptop is faster/thinner/better than anything Apple makes, and that makes me wonder if Apple decided to do something about it and make an update to the Macbook pro that they knew No one else would be able to beat because they bought exclusive early access to the chip that they use.

Entirely speculation at this point of course, and I will not be shocked to be completely wrong here. But I also wouldn't be surprised if this is what they announce.

[1] Annoying to Apple but fun for consumers as they get more choices and the competition keeps everyone on their toes.
I think your average speed of 50mph is incredibly unrealistic, unless the car is driven almost exclusively on the highway.
Most people in Vancouver aren't interested enough in whales to go out and watch them, so unless your friends are nature lovers you might not hear about them unless you ask. I've lived in Vancouver or on Vancouver Island my whole life. Not only is the Strait on the migration path for orcas but there are also resident orcas, who live in the area year-round. I don't know about Stanley Park and False Creek specifically, but for not much more than the cost of the aquarium ticket, you can take your kids on a whale watching tour. Or if you make the habit of taking the ferry, you can just watch out the windows. I've seen a couple pods that way.

There's a reason orcas feature heavily in First Nations art, local sports team mascots, etc here. They're beautiful animals but they're not exotics.
Yes, I have raised successfully at the seed stage several times. If the company is worth $3.5M and no vesting schedule, no investor will touch it (and the 3.5m valauation was reached either out of thin air, or on the back of a sucker).

If you cannot raise (with e.g. 20% discount for the trouble), the valuation is wrong.

In general, code meant for sequential processors (even massively parallel sequential processors) doesn't really translate into the potential gains you see from FPGAs. I'm pretty skeptical that this gives you any gains.

As such any imprisonment beyond ensuring suitable deterrence (which would certainly be the case with seven years) is plenty.

James and team has done an absolutely amazing job with Firebase, very much a pioneer and industry leader. It makes me sad that Google then price gauges it.

I believe James is working on a solution/work-around for everybody, I chat with him occasionally and trust him, so I still encourage people to keep using Firebase. And that is coming from me (I work on gun, an OSS alternative with graphs that you can self host - https://github.com/amark/gun), so while I have an incentive to get people to use gun, I have to keep plugging Firebase because they are amazing (I don't say this about everyone, as I have said pretty harsh words about other database systems. But there are some that deserve legitimate respect, like Firebase, RethinkDB, and others).
