Yes, competitive SAT solvers are very complicated. However, they are not outside of most developers' abilities. During a verification course at my University we had to build a simple SAT solver. Most students were able to complete the project in ~20-30 hours. Mine wasn't fast, but it worked well enough to be a proof of concept.

Also, saying that NN are easy with a library like tensorflow is akin to saying that Sudoku solvers are easy with Prolog. Of course they are! The library/language does the vast majority of the heavy lifting.
I'd say that's very acceptable given it's a promotion page for a JS library that shows live examples of the library in use.
That's a nice slogan, but empty without an analysis of power relations. Participants in a market are not automatically equal in power!

Especially important in the sub-discussion about healthcare that's going on here. There's disparity of information (not every citizen has a complete knowledge of all possible medical specialisations), disparity of capability (medical conditions can be literally incapacitating), and disparity of risk (most medical conditions are mostly randomly distributed).
How much of this is solely due to the 1-bit gradient descent? It's a genuine breakthrough and MSR (or whoever came up with it) deserves all the credit, but assuming it's not patented I imagine Google will be adding it to TF sooner or later and that will close most of the gap.

EDIT: My bad, I did not see at the end of the article that 1-bit SGD is not enabled on Keras yet, so the performance wins are coming from somewhere else. Neato.

Public transportation is preferable to cars, but let us not paint electric cars as having any more negative externalities than their internal combustion brethren.

(The steel/aluminum/plastics of a car's exterior/interior/chassis are shared by cars regardless of drive train and still the overall impact of those materials dwarfs the environmental impact of battery technologies.)

"Look through a current fashion or architecture magazine or listen to 10 random new pop songs; if you didn’t already know they were all things from the 2010s, I guarantee you couldn’t tell me with certainty they weren’t from the 2000s or 1990s or 1980s or even earlier."

The other day I was in the car with my 17 year old and a song came on the radio from the late 90s and she thought it was a new song. I didn't laugh because I've noticed the sameness to pop music myself and if I hadn't lived through it I probably couldn't tell either.

I think they did. We talk of the 20's, 30s, right up to 90s, but not of the decades 1900-1909 and 1910-19.

Having said that, up til around then, times were grouped by the reigning monarch, at least in Britain: Georgian, Victorian, then Edwardian to cover 1901-WWI.

Mostly it doesn't matter. If you gave me a compete copy of our competitors source code and there was no restriction on using it I wouldn't spend more than a few hours looking at it. We already have our working code built on our architecture. It is quicker to recreate their algorithms from scratch in our project than to read their code. We might look into their code for something specific (probably their data file format), but even then it is likely we would document what they do and reimplement it in our system from documentation.

The above isn't just speculation. In a previous job I made third party scan tools for cars. One manufacture didn't provide their legally mandated documentation. When lawyers contacted them about it they panicked and shipped us their source code and the above is what we did. (giving us source code doesn't meet the legal requirements, but at least it was enough that we could get our features working)
"All taxation is theft" is a ridiculous position which if implemented leaves you without a functioning society.

I was warned to not use it by it's maintainers because it would make the root of our domain potentially unusable. If I understand it correctly, it's designed for things like domain roots (.com), not domains with subdomains.
On the other hand, working in an office is a sort of work tax too - commuting to and from the office is wasted time that could have been spent sleeping or with family. It has a financial cost attached for the employee too.

Many office environments are noisy too, which doesn't always make them the best place for productivity.

In an ideal world, employers would allow employees to choose themselves, and for commuting-distance, remote employees to 'hot desk' when they want.

On the overall topic, it seems really obvious in retrospect that removing formalities in the workplace turns the office into a social club and those who don't want to socialize are excluded. Its certainly an unintended consequence though.

I can certainly see the benefits of formality in the office now that I'm older.

Avoiding the police is perfectly okay. The thing that is illegal is that Uber is facilitating the operation of illegal taxi cabs. In this case, Uber's avoidance of police demonstrates a sort of 'mens rea' a mindful violation of the law.
What you want is a hit tracer.

A hit tracer sets a breakpoint at the beginning of every basic block, and records and clears every breakpoint hit (so the performance hit is relatively low).

You'd use a hit tracer to record a "baseline" of your target program when it's not doing the thing you care about. Then you'd run the program again and trigger the behavior. Then you'd diff the traces.

AFL is doing something related when it explores states in targets.

There are a lot of free hit tracers, but they're also kind of a build-your-own-light-saber deal. If you have a Python debugger library and a disassembly, a hit tracer is close to "hello world".

No, it's not. What is "joined together....but with no formal agreement"? You can't take that to the bank, or to the court house.

> Rebranding these as "externality taxes" is well & good, but it doesn't change the fact that government departments need the revenue, externalites or not.

Well not every country charges 180% import taxes like Denmark but this comes with externalities as well.

Cars are so expensive that many people can't afford them (sales were 13x higher without the import tax that's a significant amount of cars not being purchased):

a) meaning poor people can't commute to work, limiting employment options to what is accessible by public transit or cycling

b) consumers are limited to shopping and domestic tourism accessible by transit/cycling

c) businesses that depend on delivery and shipping, or basic car travel, will have lower margins and less growth/employment

d) lower economic output means more dependency on gov social safety nets

e) Car companies can only sell a few already expensive electric cars, reducing economies of scale and R&D investment, further increasing the cost of electric cars and slowing their tech development

f) A big reduction in the surrounding support industries, fuel/electricity, car wash, gas stations, mechanics, car parts, etc

...but yes gov does need money, but the costs of doing so must be fully considered. Including measuring the ROI of various government agencies which this reduced economic output and greater dependency on social services are traded for.
It still is a pretty bad practice though.
You perfectly described the alternative. Rather than relying on non-competes, employers must pay their employees sufficiently well and treat them well enough to discourage poaching. Better in every way for employees, but possibly expensive for employers.

If the CA tech scene has shown us anything, it's that companies will do just fine without relying on repressive & anti-competitive employment contracts.
...unless that's something OP could be sued for. There's no way to know without reviewing the communications and agreements (either verbal or written) between the two founders.

Which, again, is why it's insane to try to get legal advice from internet strangers.
Most of the common Mac viruses were executable infectors. They spread (past tense) through software sharing -- running an infected application would infect your system, causing it to spread the infection to any applications you launched.

This lifecycle depended on having some way for those infected executables to get run by uninfected users. That was where personal software trading came into the picture.

Anyways, as more users started downloading software instead of trading it, that cycle broke. The big shareware sites like Info-Mac would only accepted software from authors, not from users, and would run virus scans on anything they published anyways.

It is useful for some security protections in such a hosted subdomain scenario which is why herokuapp.com, herokussl.com, github.io, gitlab.io, etc are on the list, but yes, you would not be able to use your primary domain there, you'd need a dedicated domain for your customers and their subdomains.

Namely, having your hosting domain on the public suffix list means that browsers will not allow setting cookies on the suffix (similar to how you cannot set a cookie for ".com"), which prevents rogue websites on the same root domain from stealing sensitive cookie values from other subdomains.
Yeah, I think people don't realize that the extreme variation in culture over the decades of the 20th century was due, in part, to the fact that older media simply wasn't available. Think of the 70s. Want to watch a TV show from the 60s? You're SOL. Maybe you can find records from bands of that era, but want to see fashion trends from a decade earlier? What do you do? Dig up old magazines in the library? Want to watch an old movie? Better hope it turns up on TV or as a rerelease in theaters. Culture really did exist in this relatively narrow window of just a few years.

That's completely gone, now, and I just don't think we're going to see these dramatic decade-tagged cultural shifts any more.

Of course the net exchange of money within the global economy must net to zero, but that's a very different thing than saying that the $ the US sends to China in exchange for manufactured goods must either be used to purchase US goods or invest in the US, as was the initial claim.
Miscommunication is a huge problem of all companies, not only in tech.

Most companies that I worked for had this problem and only one of them was remote.

If your process is "Lets go to the devs and ask what I did wrong", you have big issues in your company independent of the location of their employees.
Competition. If we take lobbying out of the picture, and therefore prevent ISPs from drafting legislation to suppress competition, it would allow for small, local ISPs to spring up.

A lot of customers will pay more to get decent service. (Otherwise, McDonald's would have driven sit-down restaurants out of business entirely.) If you're running a local ISP, whose business is based on providing good service, screwing over your customers would seriously hurt your business.
Begin actually doing them or just see how big you can make it, also removing duplicates helps
> Yet look what happened to sales after they debuted the closed hardware and OS. At the end of the day the mass customer prefers devices that are easy to use and hard to break.

I don't think the locked-down device had anything to do with this. You could hack the old iPods with custom firmware to do all sorts of fun things and those things were still the most popular devices on the market.
I think the problem stems also in part from that while the 1900's and 1910's may have been called the 'oughts and 19-tens or 19-teens, those terms aren't extremely common today and "twenty-teens" also sounds strange. "twenty-tens" sounds to me a little bit like you're referring to the year 2010 in plural since the year is in recent memory. I will be very much surprised if "20's" does not come to refer to the 2020's; even more so if "30's" doesn't make it.
Autonomous IoT data is exactly opposite of needing global consistency. I can't say what it is, but this system isn't even hooked up to the internet. It needs immediate local and autonomous decisions made, part of why they chose gun.

@jimktrains2 it is nearly impossible to lose data with gun because of its master-master replication even into the edge/peers. It is about as fault tolerant as you can get (check out the links to the tests I mention in the other comments).

I understand now how it might have sounded confusing, sorry about that! Mission critical systems often require HA, not master-slave. Master-slave is very important in other use cases.

> This adverse selection leads to some of your best employees leaving, with your worst staying.

Doesn't matter. Failing public companies like IBM and Yahoo don't care about better vs. worse employees; what they care about is reducing costs, and that tends to make better employees more likely to be laid off, because they're more expensive. Wall Street doesn't give a damn how good your employees are; it just wants them to be cheap.
1Blocker's Thoughts on Intelligent Tracking Prevention in Safari
I agree on the audio production but maybe it's just a taste I have not acquired.

What really surprised me is how lauded this podcast has been. I was expecting at least the level of depth of YC's Startup School series from a few years ago, hoping for even more insight. The kind of depth I imagine was in Hoffman's 'blitzscaling' course. It never reached that level and even seemed less detailed than NPR's How I Built This.

The podcast seems geared to a more general audience, which is why I have been befuddled by many who are deeply entrenched the startup/valley/software worlds praising it as a must-listen.

I do echo your respect/like/admiration for Chesky and Hoffman. This free podcast they have made is just not for me.

The difficulty with PGP keys, is that the most common implementation, GPG, wants complete control of the device and does not let it be shared so that other interfaces, like PKCS# can be used. So if you want something for both GPG and other purposes, it really needs to present as two separate devices, or you need to go hacking a branch of GPG. When I looked into doing this, it seemed that upstream would not be interested in interoperation with other smart card standards, so it may not get accepted into upstream.

At least that was my experience. If somedbody can correct me, I'd be incredibly grateful.

I don't think startups would have enough funding or the time to take advantage of it. MVPs would be done by the founders because of the time constraints (setting up a whole outsourcing setup would take a bunch of time). Also, if you fully outsourced all the startups tasks then your group that your outsourcing to doesn't need you. If a startup was well funded and has larger projects I could see that though.
Some people start a family and working from home dramatically lowers the hassle, they still get things done yet get to see their kids.
