Fact-checking Donald Trump's statement withdrawing from Paris climate agreement
Yes, you're right. To be clear, Friedman's NIT was merely a spiritual successor to the UBI, and the EITC is of course what happens when ideas traverse through the bastardization of academia to actual policy making.

Who is to say what an actual UBI would look like after undergoing a similar process.

The basic "problem" with this approach is that the customer (be it a client or an agency) can't be 100% sure if the view data you deliver them is correct, they can only count the clicks. If the ads are on your server and there is no external content involved, only you get the stats. It's not a problem only for in-house ads, or when the customer doesn't care about the views and is only interested in clicks.

This is great writing: very clear and easy to understand!

I feel that dynamic variable lookup is a mistake, though -- it's just so painful to have to wait until runtime to discover you've made a typo. Is supporting mutual recursion really important enough to offset this pain?
I think we're all forgetting that the prime reason Wolfram has a blog IS to expound on his ideas, and showcase the versatile uses of his Mathematica software, in the same way Google, Microsoft or ordinary developers have their own blogs.

But for some reason, people expect his posts to be general commentaries about science, math or computing, like a Scientific American Blog post - perhaps it's due to his reputation as a 'genius', which makes people forget he is also a CEO.

The problem is with CPU intensive tasks. Being as expressive as Python is, it would be nice if CPU intensive algorithms could be written in it, without blocking all other Python threads while the algorithm runs. For example.

Oh, bullshit. We've been hearing about how Trump is playing n-dimensional chess since before the election, but I think it has to be crystal clear by now that he's just a confused old racist with the attention span of a wolverine on speed who is going to do the absolute stupidest thing at every possible opportunity. Yes, he did this to fire up the most rabid corner of his base, but he did so without having any real understanding of the consequences, probably at the behest of Bannon and the Kochs.

I've been in professional web dev for over 10 years, 5 of which has been remote contracting. It's great fun! I've been the lead programmer / CTO for several startups. I'll also happily pootle around with devops/sysadmin tasks, chat with non-techy clients, troubleshoot their troubles and help un-bamboozle them about horrendous tech issues, mentor junior developers and designers who might find our million billion sub-fields of programming a wee bit daunting, and host a mean beer o'clock on Fridays.

You Don’t Have to Major in Computer Science to Do It as a Career
My carry on is randomly swiped for chemical residue.

Leave X-ray, asked for chemical residue test, proceed to counter, open bag let them swipe the cloth in my clothes a little, and then the inside of my bag a little as well, test passes and I zip my carry on back up and I'm on my way to the gate. This is pretty routine when flying in Australia. I'm pretty sure we stared doing this for catching drugs and regular non terrorist illegal stuff in the 90s or even earlier, and just decided it was a sensible idea to buy stuff that can also detect explosives as well.
So how do I go about e.g. removing telemetry from Chrome's mainline?
That sounds like a wonderful work environment. I am not a senior Javascript engineer though. Any chances applying for a junior position?
> also don't suffer from catastrophic or significant accidental releases

We've had a countable number of catastrophes and are getting better at building safer reactors (G IV reactors are modulated by physics).

Regardless, Chernobyl is estimated to be currently claiming 4000 lives per year worldwide[1], while coal power plants are claiming 7500 lives per year in America alone.[2] Nuclear meltdowns are very scary events. Merely running a coal power plant is a far scarier.

I agree it's a preference. But to me, the custom tags for loops etc is even more putting another language inside another than JSX is.
> Python probably isn't their go-to language anyways.

That is the real problem. Any sufficiently popular language will inevitably be used in scenarios it is not suited for. Python has now reached that threshold, so all sorts of communities are trying to stretch it and pull it every other way. Sometimes this makes the language better, sometimes it's just a source of complication and frustration.

There is also the issue that some quarters feel python's role is being eroded by newer stuff like golang and nodejs, which were built with high-performance multithreading in mind from the start. I personally think this is not much of a concern (if you are willing to trade python for golang or nodejs, you were not really using python because of its expressiveness and conciseness in the first place), but clearly a lot of people do.
They're not, as I mentioned in my comment. Clicks are common but not the only metric. Plain old impressions are still widely used and with video it's usually time played or views (completed play through).

Annoying advertising shows up great in metrics because it gets so much attention (which is what makes it annoying in the first place). It's a self fulfilling prophecy for advertisers and agencies and a result of a major lack of proper oversight, incentives or regulation in this industry.
If anyones interested I wrote some JS to view states 0 to 255 in canvas.

It might be insignificant to China the country. But a government is made up of individuals.

It's entirely possible that in an already corrupt environment, the dozen or so individuals on the crypto committee may be convinced to make decision that benefit them personally.

Make a few impactful decisions at your day job, block a few exchanges, short bitcoin personally, profit personally. Wouldn't be hard to make a million or two if you knew of a price fall coming up in advance, there are plenty of ways to get leverage on the bitcoin markets these days.
I can attest to that. It is like herding cats.
As with so many of these kinds of articles, it skips talking about what they don't eat: sugared drinks, refined carbs, industrially refined oils, factory farmed animal products, etc. etc.

To be fair, Nicaragua only refused to sign on to Paris because they didn't think it went far enough.
In fact this "ad blocker" is more of a popup and auto play blocker. It doesn't really mean to block ads. And worse than that, it does nothing to block or even reduce the tracking of users. In fact I haven't seen a single new feature in Chrome that would make tracking more difficult. Rather the contrary.
Ok. So they are not ignorant or stupid, but have a twisted value system?

Imagine that you go to a Shakespeare festival but they only recite T. S. Eliot. When you are disappointed, they say:

"Look these are all poems. They are very similar on the surface, but Eliot somehow sounds better to the modern ear. Long live Shakespeare!"
Qualcomm Nabs Three Major Partners for Windows Laptops
Yes, but you could make the same argument for companies using toxic substances in their food, too.

"We don't need the government to tell us what is toxic and what isn't. Let's people make their own decision about what they eat!"

Which I know sounds very attractive, but then 90% of the population will end up ingesting food with lead in it from China, or whatever.
People won't include the social media accounts they don't want to call attention to.

Which is extremely risky. Depending on your profile they may find you with a simple search and having lied on your visa application or to an immigration officer will get you barred to visit the US for years.

And that's your best case scenario.
Ok did not agree :) on the Gaussian part.

Yeah sure its a projection but so what. Why and when should a L2 norm projection be useful. It would when the tails of the residuals are Gaussian like. Otherwise things will and do go haywire. L2 loss is too sensitive at the tails. This observation is nothing new though.

What is new however are the near magical guarantees you can get (literally rabbit out of a hat) when you use L1 projection instead. It comes at a computational cost but solves a problem that cannot be efficiently solved otherwise: Xw = y + noise.

X is a random matrix woefully rank deficient. Exponentially more columns than rows. w \in R^n but has very few non zeros. Now find that w. This needs rather deep tools from asymptotic geometry and Banach spaces. Its an area that's quite active on stas / ML / signal processing right now.
Out of interest if it's something you don't need or care about why are you opposed it? You don't care so much you would donate money to oppose it?
And this would limit tracking of users across websites, which would be another benefit.

If productivity stays the same, then all we can ever do is to shift wealth around. That is all there is to it.

So the important questions are: does UBI increase or decrease productivity and how is wealth divided after UBI.
You know there was mass advertising before the internet right? A lot of it, on TV, radio, billboards, magazines, newspapers, door-to-door salesman, etc. The commercialized web of today is vastly different from the early beginnings and 99% of the content and services you use online are funded through advertising.

You might want to go back to plain-text message boards but the world has moved on and there is an immense amount of commerce and utility conducted over the internet. If you have a job today, it is with almost absolute certainty that the company you work for is successful because of advertising in some form.

Everything is manipulation, that is the action of the world against your thoughts and wishes. Have you never recommended anything to your friends? That's advertising, whether you like it or not, so I don't see what's unethical about it specifically. There are certainly dishonest campaigns and we have some (but do need more) regulation around that, however people do have free will and the final choice, regardless of the ads they see.
I prefer to use Safari's Reader Mode. Why shouldn't we just have native support for that on all other major browsers (looking at Chrome).
The argument is that going on about it in every single Wolfram thread is just as quickly "repetitive and boring" and worse, makes it impossible to actually talk about whatever it is that Wolfram is writing about. It's hardly ignoring if everyone already knows about it and the chances of anyone saying anything new and interesting on the topic is just about nil.
I suspect GCC could do it too for invisible or fully inlined symbols.

This is possible in C99 and C++11 because type punning is forbidden in general. But that would need a special flag to specify incompatible internal ABI.
im not sure this is a good idea (as a consumer) anything which injects extra buying decisions in my life seems like a bad idea. Imagine having to wonder if I really wanted to spend that 0.01 cents on the next page of popular mechanics or not. I'd rather pay more for say, unlimited monthly access

> quality, adequate explanations, proper planning, and lenient time tables are an afterthought.

This is par for every activity involving humans. The problems with devs is they think they cant "control" it better because most of their life experience of "wins" comes from controlling a controllable machine. Obviously when applying it to ppl it all breaks down. Most other profession in the real world who really have no experience of that level of control on anything learn control is always negotiated involving patience which most dev's don't really have to learn leading to all kinds of misguided notions and solutions to real world problems.

I don't knows where everyone is picking up this talking point, but it's really bullshit.

The agreement was weak and not a treaty because the Republicans in the Senate would not have ratified a treaty, just as they failed to ratify Kyoto. If any Republicans thought this was a swell idea but just wasn't binding enough they could enter into a second, more aggressive binding agreement with whatever parties they like. Nobody thought this was a great agreement, it was too weak and timid, but it was the strongest agreement we could make without the Senate.
No, they got the order to make something that looks like GoL.

They tried it out, realized it didn't look great, then looked for what most people who don't have a CS degree would consider similar enough and also looked nice.

This sort of reasonable compromise happens all the time. In the software industry, if you picked ideological purity over pragmatism you wouldn't be a great engineer.

If passed, the bill would repeal California's 67-year-old Daylight Saving Time Act.

> I also don't think I can afford to get married, because it's just too expensive (300,000 NTD would take me one year to save up).

Why does it cost so much to get married in Taiwan - is that the fee for a marriage license? Could you just fly to another country where it's cheaper and get married there?
I don't understand people working overtime. You sign a contract of typically 40 hours/week. Anything over that timeframe you can reject. Trying to force you or threaten firing you over it is not particularly legal. Showing up in court with a few emails demanding overtime goes a long way I would wager.

Further, I would really like people sticking up more for themselves, putting up with this nonsense normalizes exploitation and makes it worse for everyone.
I have an account for a long time now, because some groups, people and activities require it. But I've disabled notifications for a long time, and rarely log in except to check on events. I don't see a reason to deactivate it complete.

I have to say though, FB tries really hard to reactivate your notifications. It's especially annoying when it hooks into your mobile Chrome browser notifications (took me a while to figure that out!). And the fact it can't be uninstalled on Samsung devices - at least you don't have to login.
