Oh definitely recent, historical would be different ... although you'd have to be very careful to pick your dates to include the blip of leftist violence and exclude say, the Klan. Not that you don't have a point about the lack of education about the leftist violence in the 70s, but the moral victors tend to write the history.

Sure, there was an uptick in attacks on Trump supporters. But you take all of those and I'll take only violence against muslims or trans people, your choice. Hell, if I took only violence against non-muslim brown people mistaken for muslims the numbers would still be higher.
Some sort of furniture outlet. Even IKEA, I think. They still call them mattresses, only, they're 20 bucks, not hundreds of them.

Even in Singapore, the SIMs are sold at arrival are priced 30-50% above the retail rate and you will have to wait for data activation. I wish AirBnB hosts can offer pre-activated SIM as a value added service (Airport wifi is usually good enough to book an Uber).
typical biased article from CNN.

when talking about the handover, the article claims that

"The people of Hong Kong were not party to the discussions, nor were they consulted about the final decision, which had a profound effect on their futures and freedoms."

Did the people of Hong Kong party to the "discussions" when UK took Hong Kong after the Opium War? Were they consulted about the final decision, which had a profound effect on their futures and freedoms?

It also need to be highlighted the term Opium War - British fought a war with China so they could sell opium to a nation, they got HK as a bonus for such Opium business. Next time when you see thugs in your local undesirable neighbourhood dealing drugs, think about the British government because they were the same - I mean actually worse, when was the last time you saw drug dealing thugs directly took people's land/homes after selling them drugs?

Before anyone jumping up and down arguing that it was more free under UK - was polygamy legal in Hong Kong until 1971? Maybe you want to discuss with women in Hong Kong and lecture them why there were more free under British Hong Kong.
Wow. I could have written this and every word would still hold.

The first three sentences of the free will article in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy say:

> “Free Will” is a philosophical term of art for a particular sort of capacity of rational agents to choose a course of action from among various alternatives. Which sort is the free will sort is what all the fuss is about. (And what a fuss it has been: philosophers have debated this question for over two millennia, and just about every major philosopher has had something to say about it.)

The first three sections after that (1.1, 1.2, 1.3) are about different definitions of free will. Where did you get the idea that free will had a settled definition? Is there something else I should be reading?
> How do you think the RNC got birthdays for 200 million Americans in the first place?

As I replied elsewhere, there is a market for reselling your information on the internet. In some cases that is legal, and in many it's probably not. As a tech person you should know this.
The biggest problem with a large number of tech conferences is that the speakers are not qualified to speak and, as a result, have lower quality attendees, but often charge $700+ for tickets, hotels, time off etc.. Some egregious examples include a speaker who can't code giving keynotes at multiple tech conference about how to mentor junior developers, soft talks that have nothing to do with the subject of the conference, talks about mental health by people who are not mental health professionals, thinly veiled talks pushing political agendas that have a (loose at best)relationship to tech and "Bootcamp Grads Have Feelings Too" which was at a major tech conference for one of the big communities. We don't see nurses aids fresh out of school keynoting medical conferences, but somehow in tech this has become a thing.

Someone else was saying that they are stealth trade shows but I'm not sure even that is true for a lot of conference because honestly I don't think that many of these events do either very well. There are some that still focus on quality content where the material and the attendees are much more beneficial, but the conferences with the weak speaker line ups are a waste of money and in some communities it feels like we have too many conferences, many of which are not providing real value to companies for the money and time spent.

It's one thing to have a conference with intense technical material that has some interesting hallway convos during breaks and socialization in the evening. But many of these lower quality events feel like we have a bubble in this space. I'm saying this as someone who has spoken at a decent number of conferences and as an organizer 3 community based (not for profit) conferences. Or put another way, there are some that are worth it, but a lot more that are a waste of time.

Why minimize your creative narrative instead of perfecting it? it seems that hewing toward a concept of objectivity only makes you a subject of the cultural whims of those who feel free to define it for themselves.

Well, maybe you'll get lucky and be involved in some work you can do while traveling or doing the other hobbies. Or that pays enough part-time/contract to leave the free time for the other stuff. The whole digital nomad thing has taken off in the past 5-10 years (though it seems most make money selling you e-books on how to be a digital nomad / location independent...).
I tend to agree with you -- the universe can't be so lazy as to generate such a useless string of words that is your comment. For the definition I refer you to introductory philosophy texts.
SGX already works with the PVAP doesn't it? I can't imagine Netflix would be using SGX-based DRM for 4K content unless it actually provided a real benefit, especially considering without trusted I/O it's much more obvious where to grab decrypted data by looking for SGX-related instructions.

What about a 64-bit architecture for the Cortex-M market? If they could pull off some wizardry in focusing on energy efficiency, and maybe target peripheral functions involving GPU-like parallel processors for small-scale ML/AI/etc. purposes?

I dunno, it seems like there might be a market for that sort of thing. You train your model, pop it on a chip that consumes microwatts per megahertz? Something like that could be appealing.

It might also be impossible. I don't design chips. But I do think targeting both mobility and parallel processing could be cool. Maybe something like what Parallella is doing.
There are competitive admission public high schools in some cities but this isn't a very common concept.
It was an empty threat though; HK had a huge economy relative to China at the time (and more importantly a well-developed western-connected banking system). If push came to shove they might eventually do that but Deng was highly motivated to avoid such a conflict (imagine what that kind of political instability would have done to China's nascent economic reforms).
Unfortunately, BEAM is not really very easy to hack on. The community has gotten much better than it was a few years ago, but the code is pretty hard to understand.

5 things I'd tell my 20 year old self
Can't you measure culture by your company employee retention rate quarter over quarter or year over year?
...and way behind in others. Try finding a pre-paid voice & data SIM in Japan (hint: it doesn't exist due to arcane regulations - non-residents can only get data-only SIMs). Most WiFi spots require registration that require you to confirm identity via a verification email (think chicken and egg).
This doesn't add much to the discussion but the term on-screen “engagement” turds, as Gruber puts it, is what I'll be calling them in the future. Really cuts to the heart of what marketing/business development teams have served up to everyone.

I wonder what kind of conversations take place when they're considering implementing this UI bloat. "People love sharing, let's help them share!" Like they're actually helping readers, rather than realize it's a rhetorical lie to help them get past the fact that they have no respect for the end user and are singularly focused on meeting a KPI that will net them more money than the creators of the actual content - you know, the reason why people are even on the fucking website in the first place.
moral failure? I got a long list of solution for the British government:

1. not to fight the Opium War and sell Opium in the first place.
2. not to invade other country on the other side of the world.
3. not to pretend to be a dominant power.

if you focus on the first two points, they seem to be morally right in ALL culture.

“The Blockchain Is Going to Revolutionize Central Banking and Monetary Policy”
Click the link and start to read, I am certainly familiar and similarly annoyed with the first complaint:
>Every Medium site displays an on-screen “sharing” bar that covers the actual content I want to read. This is particularly annoying on the phone, where screen real estate is most precious.

I open the link to the listed example, and mobile.twitter.com covers the top 25% of screen with a login prompt(likely an app store redirect if I take the bait? I use, seldomly, 'Tinfoil' client app from FDroid if I want to login to Twitter), and the bottom 25% with the notice about the ever evolving 'privacy/divulgance' policy.
Oy Vey... Really makes me appreciate the few text only, practical UI, bullshit free sites I have left to visit online, like this one.
Yeah, people won't admit it but not much has changed other than the marketing that sells people on the jobs. Whether it's software development now or good-paying factory work a while back (but not too far back...), most people would like to try to work to live. If we lived in some sort of post-scarcity society, people might "work" but it most likely wouldn't be as much and maybe not exactly what you're doing now. There'd probably be a lot more polymaths out there - people that wrote some programs for a few years then decide to play guitar for a decade, etc etc.
I was hired as the keynote speaker for two VMUG User Cons. I explained to the organizers that I'm more into business networking and not infrastructure networking. They exclaimed, "that's why we want you!" They wanted me to get their members connecting with one another and meeting new people.

So... yes even programmers need people. :)
This is the way that mobile data roaming works - the Internet egress point is your home carrier's, not the carrier on which you are roaming. Nothing special about T-Mobile here.
>None of your postulates are accurate or well-defined.

>--I don't know what 'physicalism' means.

Is "well-defined" a codeword for "I don't understand"? Physicalism is as well-defined of a concept as anything can be.

>--Mainstream science doesn't even claim to know what consciousness is, let alone what it can be reduced to.

Since you don't understand what is "physicalism" I don't think you're going to get this point. The idea is that everything is reduced to elementary physical structures. Therefore nothing can be extra-physcial, super-natural or otherwise. I.e. non-dualist. Therefore the mind must be reduced to physical structures.

>--Science does not operate on the principle of causation.

So is there anything that is uncaused? When the scientist constructs an experiment do they think "oh what if the billiard ball moved without cause?".

>There is just so much we don't know. Using science to justify some new-agey claptrap about determinism is just malfeasance.

Actually "new-agey" thought tries to do the exact opposite: save dualism and free will.

Love all of your points here. The pain for a lot of customers seems to be international travel. You're often not sure what to expect and once you're out of the airport safety can also be a factory.

We're working with a ton of different vendors and suppliers so pricing is a bit opaque, however we're working to normalize and bring down pricing as we grow the business. For example Johannesburg is $140 for the first two travelers and $60 there after.

Overall, the goal is to modernize this industry and provide different products to different customer segments based on price/features. This is just the beginning :)
That's what people said 30 years ago when Deng Xiaoping was driving reforms. The thought was that China's steady economic liberalization would inevitably lead to political liberalization. That had been the typical trend in other countries, but the Chinese Communist Party has proven to be surprisingly skilled at managing dissent and maintaining power.

It could still happen, but predicting the future in politics is hard.
> Taken to the extreme this is an ugly future of wasted time and resources to bend to facebook's constant tweaks which are not in favor of the content creators, but ~~the advertisers~~ facebook.

Small correction: Content creators are the advertisers. If you want the audience you've built to see the content you've made, you pretty much have to buy ads in the form of "boosts" and other ad units. At this point, everything is looping around to benefit Facebook. I see more sponsored posts for content than for products these days, honestly.
> Sending two people and having them paraphrase the talks they saw based on the partial notes they took doesn't exactly sound like an efficient process.

This resonated well with me. I've always preferred email to chat, for many of the reasons cited in the article.

The trouble is, it's too far to the right. Some people don't respond for days. So we have tools with instant response expectations, and ones with variable expectations. Nothing with clear "within a day" expectations. Email used to be that way, until too many peed in that pool.
Appreciate the kind words and support! You're amazing! Before we started this company definitely felt the low tech insecurities of booking these types of service. To your point, the goal is to definitely "Uberfy" the process as we grow. Thanks again and we hope to serve you soon!
Talking about uBlock Origin and Medium, the blocked requests on Medium pages always seem to increase at a regular interval.

Seems like they use some kind of tracker that "polls" user activity on the page. I suspect that's why Chrome seems to use more CPU/RAM when I've got more Medium pages opened.

Every county is different so some of my statements may not apply everywhere (I live in San Francisco).

I've yet to work a poll (next election) but have gotten to know the system here pretty well through the SF elections commission.

Our system is very far from perfect. Many counties do not even audit ballots after every election (let alone use only paper ballots). Epollbook software can be all over the place. Voter verification at polling places is often quite minimal. The penalty for forging a signature on a mail in ballot in CA is only $1000 (I was in the room when the state assembly committee voted not to raise the fine to keep up with inflation).

I don't mean to be alarmist - like I said, I don't think these things took place, at least en masse - but it'd be quite naive to suggest there aren't vulnerabilities.

There's nothing wrong with giving products a free trial and returning those you're unsatisfied with during the normal trial period. That's why it exists.

Unlike the secretary problem, the parent can re-buy any mattress at anytime, and one person buying a mattress doesn't impact another's ability to buy the same model. Additionally the decision can be deferred until after trying many / every model to make a better / optimal purchase.

REI taking its unlimited return policy down to one year was not from normal trial usage but from a select few returning gear after years of usage.
For the first question, Aline Lerner, leeny on HN and founder of interviewing.io, wrote an excellent blog post on this very topic: http://blog.alinelerner.com/how-to-interview-your-interviewe...

Regarding bad fits, I could go on about this all day long, but the two obvious ones I'll offer are this:

1) Assuming you're applying for a software engineering position, if they only ever ask you programming-related questions and don't try to gauge things like professionalism, hobbies, communication skills, how you deal under stress, etc, then they're missing the point. (Being able to program is the MINIMUM requirement for the job, after all.)

2) If the interview feels like an interrogation and not a conversation, that's bad. If they spend the entire interview asking questions and then give only enough time for 1-2 questions of your own, they wasted a lot of your time. Interviews go both ways: it's an opportunity for you to learn about them just as much as it's an opportunity for them to learn about you. You should spend half your time asking your own questions, imo.

These aren't deal-breakers, of course, but they're red flags. Enough red flags and you won't be a good fit.

Anyway, good luck.
It's not different definitions of free will unless you're using "definition" super broadly to mean anything that talks about the subject. At the end of the paragraph:

It's hard to beat regions in time overhead, since every operation is constant time; space overhead is where they suffer, and that's where GC enters the picture.

Escape analysis is a degenerate region analysis, and many of the cases where it fails because it's not general enough would be handled quite well by regions.
I felt pretty guilty and remorseful after returning ONE mattress that I did not sleep well on at all during the trial period, and then I found out about the incredible markup on these mattresses (at the price I paid, the markup was well over 5x).

Mindfulness, despite the recent buzzword-iness of it, has been an amazing tool for me. When I'm feeling any number of negative emotions (anger, anxiety, stress, etc.), or when my OCD flares up, it helps so much to simply pause, turn and face the emotion, address it, and say to myself "I am feeling this way because..." and calling out the trigger. It almost takes the teeth out of the negative feeling, making it pass a lot sooner.

Sounds a little hippy-dippy, sure, but for me it falls into the "it just works" bucket.
