What if Samsung issues another bogus DMCA? Would you dare blacklist Samsung? If the inconvenience level is high enough, almost nobody would use the blacklist. This only works for small players.
I mean, it's a video service that is paid through visual ads. Expecting free content is a bit entitled, imo.

Though, if Youtube was to become "Soundcloud", having Radio specific ads would be a nicely adaptive feature for the "free" audience. However, given that ads are required, screen on vs pay is very reasonable. There is an avenue for screen off, legit and implemented as a feature.

> Making you pay to turn your screen off is not "allowing" it in the normal sense. It's valid for someone to see your comment as wrong.

I disagree, the feature is there, that someone just doesn't like how to access it. Saying something doesn't exist / isn't allowed is a false statement if it does exist. The requirements for being allowed were not being discussed.

There are a fair number of vegetables where frozen are better than all but the best fresh vegetables.

Broccoli, beans, stuff like that.

They are picked closer to the ideal time and don't suffer from the shipping time. And then they aren't cooked like canned vegetables.

And of course there are lots of vegetables that don't take freezing well and nothing will stand up to an excessive number of defrost cycles. But frozen vegetable doesn't automatically mean bad.
No need to leave SF to escape the tech bubble and encounter those being left behind. Look closer.
What is disingenuous is labeling a statement that starts with the words "I support diversity and inclusion" as being against diversity. Claiming he violated a code of conduct by doing so requires myopia of the highest degree.

Second, you are failing to distinguish between mass coercion by media based on lies, with a popular backlash based on an accurate account of the facts. Richards was in developer relations and made a giant stink when she demonstrated being unable to relate to developers.
This runs against the challenge that (almost?) all statistical methods train by fitting a model to some sort of data. If you have zero examples of a black swan in the data you can agree in principle they might exist but you'd expect a statistical model to get them wrong.

I'm surprised that he's surprised by this. Even in SV you can have a reality check, if you just deign to strike up a conversation with the cooks and the bus drivers and the janitors who work all around you. No need to take a road trip to the summer house to have this epiphany, just open your eyes.

How to Switch to a Microsoft Account from a Local Account in Windows 10
Now, that's interesting. Haven't looked at the article yet, but would like to note the C-128 actually used an 8502 processor, which I'd bet was a sibling/successor to the 8501. I never realized the +4/16 processor was a different one, too. I would have expected it to be just the same as the 6510 the C-64 used. Very interesting!
What I was trying to say is that in the olden days of say the 80s, Mac OS used cooperative threads and you just wrote a main loop that was completely self-contained. We made OS calls from there, the OS didn't call us with events like it does today (at least most of the time). So programs were much simpler to debug because we didn't have callback or goto hell.

The tradeoff was that it took pages of boilerplate to make even the simplest app, and Apple got made fun of incessantly for it. So they largely fixed that with OS X's message passing metaphors, but unfortunately due to bloat and a lot of other reasons, the boilerplate issue came back, and now we're also stuck with untraceable program flow.

To answer the original question - I have worked on both blocking and nonblocking code, and unfortunately nonblocking code doesn't scale. It eventually becomes too complex to follow the flow. It's like comparing a coroutine to a state machine. My personal feeling is that we're in a kind of nonblocking bubble right now and that the callback style that pretty much all frameworks use today is not going to be the way it's done in the future. I don't know what will replace it, but it will likely be something more like Redux/Elm/Clojure and declarative GUI syntax like how the web used to work.

The majority of the stuff you need from calculus for deep learning doesn't rise to the level of real analysis. Real analysis is worth doing if their are benefits to Fourier transforms on your data sets in the domain you're working in but otherwise has good payoff for studying more math rather than studying more deep learning.
I think Bash is much more than that. For example, I mostly compose chains of commands through pipes. This extension is not pipe-centric.

You can do that optimization in FP languages if you have unique types, ie, types that can only have one reference to them. You use the list as if it's immutable, by creating a new list with the new command and the rest of the previous list. But since the compiler can prove that the old list is no longer referenced, it can reuse it and simply make the update in-place.
So what is the definition of startup from your perspective? I mean, if I have an idea and just build it, wouldn't someone else take the idea, build it, and look for VCs to make it profitable? In this case, isn't it better to always look for the possibility that my idea can actually catch on?

In my opinion this makes amazon an accomplice of the theft, especially that they earned a commission from this operation.

Hope that buyer will get help and get his money back.
For those wondering how this scam happens, here is a live example:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B002JCSV8U/ref=dp_ol...

Notice how the first item is listed at 1/4th price of other listings, and that seller is a 'just launched' third party. If you text or email asking them to confirm item is genuine and not stolen, you will not hear from them.

If Amazon wanted they can detect and remove such listings (also good candidate for ML based fraud detection)
Being outside the tech bubble is hardly a desolate wasteland. Certainly many of you have friends and family outside of tech circles, and already know this. Tech is certainly a nice field filled with opportunity, more than many other professions at the moment, but there are often massive downturns in tech which make other careers suddenly seem much more compelling. Not to mention that no one asks if a 40 year old building engineer is still capable of being a building engineer.

The authoritarian regimes' secret police would be delighted at something like this. People actually (well, not all of us) give them information themselves, and those who don't, sure do get tracked across the web.

"Thoughts control" is very much a real problem, as the Google Memo scandal showed us. People dug out the irrelevant donation of Brendan Eich. Think about the power FB has, they know exactly who is the enemy of the state using the word from good old Soviet Union where I happened to born in.

People on the left dangerously remind me the fanatic pioneers, who only think one way is right and preach false tolerance. Some are even so stupid that they hold a hammer and sickle in one hand and rainbow flag in another. Knowing the possibility of the power and the capabilities these people would have if in power. I would say we live in dangerous times.
I'm curious. Does this statistic mix old XUL based add-ons with the new web extension standard addins?

In this case the market forces act only when the projections are too unrealistic compared to the size of the economy. Small variations in rates of less than a percentage point will not doom an economy in the medium term, but certainly can make a huge fortune for people involved in the manipulation. This is the case in all western economies.
What if you were to give students some functions like

hmm this content seems pretty dated. If they're looking at internal network enumeration, then it's missing most of the modern tools, if it's looking at external enumeration then it's not great as most of the ports they refer to are unlikely to be exposed externally...

Honestly, none of them, but you have to digest news somewhere, don't you? You have to be an informed citizen as part of your civic duty, don't you? Reading is typically better than watching or listening. Read multiple sources form multiple points of view and have your BS detector fine tuned. It's also better to get news from other countries, they don't have as much skin in the game. Constantly ask, "do I really care?" "Why do I care" "Is this really important, or are they trying to sway me to care?" "Why do they want me to care?" Also, if you do care, read the entire article, because relevant facts are often buried at the bottom under the top which is sensationalism / clickbait.

Furthermore, care more about stuff that directly affects you and your family. Jobs is certainly a big one. I care that companies are constantly pushing down wages more than I care about other things, because it directly affects me. Just an example. I care that companies are polluting the river my family visits. I care that the educational system in our state is horrible, I care that health care is fucking expensive.

Also, never read opinion columns, the same is true for TV. The old 6'oclock news is decent because they only have 30 minutes, but all the auxiliary shows and the 24 hour news are nothing but opinion. Unfortunately decent sources like the NYT is half opinion, but at least they label it as such.
I'm sorry, but on this matter you are making a completely inapt comparison.

The problem with this approach is that systems will need info from multiple components, so at some point you are forced to make the coupling that the ECS was brought in to avoid. For example, the rendering system needs to know entity position. So to which system does the "position component" belong? Not all entities that have a position needs to be rendered, and neither do all renderable entities require movement, and this same issue permeates all aspects of the architecture.
[Probably] not enough to cause any harm. RF isn't dangerous until it is powerful enough to cause local heating and obviously this wasn't that powerful. I can't really find much info on how much power Theremin's bug took, but modern backscatter radios usually operate at very low power, at the level of ambient RF from normal radio etc but can transmit 10 km or more. Based on other designs I've seen I suspect it wouldn't actually take much, though that is just an educated guess.
I don't think there's any evidence that any of your claims are true.

I can't take this kind of piece seriously anymore. The decrying of an out of touch elite is a cliche.

This problem isn't getting any better because 1 it's a hard problem and 2 political gridlock keeps us from modernizing economic policy one way or another.

Most the people in the tech bubble I know are keenly aware of their relative advantage. They want something done about income inequality. A lack of awareness is not the problem here.
> you're more likely to have been exposed to bad OO code than any other type simply because there's more of it

That's certainly true, but as someone who routinely has to go in and bugfix/maintain classes contaning thousands of lines of code (sometimes in themselves, more often collectively in their inheritance hierarchies), the simple presence of extensively used member variables often is a massive cognitive load. I'm not claiming that I'm some rockstar programmer who knows better, but from my experience working with other programmers, member variables might as well be called global variables.

tl;dr: Mutation, mutation everywhere.
I'd posit some from WaPo would welcome Trump starting a nuclear war just so they can claim "See, we were right finally, we told you so!"

I'll always remember election night when after much confusion and sadness, MSNBC found somewhere a stock market chart from Japan or maybe after-hours trading showing the market was headed down. They printed it out to make it look official, the mood lifted and they excitedly talked about how Trump will blow away everyone's 401k accounts and people will be starving during their retirement. Of course stock market bounced back up next day and was doing ok since. But what was interesting is how excited and happy they were talking about retirement accounts going up in flames just as long as it fit the story they have been supporting and building up.
I feel pretty comfortable if the seller's name is the manufacturer, and their inventory is full of stuff they manufacture, with a long history of positive feedback.

I get scared off by seller names that sound like alphabet soup, small numbers of sales and reviews (for a $5 item I'll chance it, though), and recent reviews suddenly changing for the negative.

And I'm really skittish about clothing, unless I know the brand. Too many times, I've gotten what was listed, technically, and it really isn't what I was thinking. T-shirts that look glorious but are really crappy iron-ons, shirts that look great but are really, really thin... that sort of thing. I don't want to go to a store, but I order brands I like and trust directly from them instead.
I would perhaps recommend The Clockwork Universe[0] instead, which is more or less exactly an overview of the characters and intellectual influences of the time.

"Blackrock has begun selling the wireless processor, which it calls “Cereplex-W” and costs about $15,000, to research labs that study primates. Tests in humans could happen quickly, says Florian Solzbacher, a University of Utah professor who is the owner and president of Blackrock. The Brown scientists have plans to try it on paralyzed patients, but haven’t yet done so."

It's incredibly expensive and they are primarily using it for animal tests.

If it's so obvious that this is going to replace keyboards, etc within 10 years then show me at least one consumer product that I can buy today for less than $1000.
It is not just experience that makes a person qualified. A brilliant greenhorn who has the knowledge but not necessarily years of experience is also qualified. Of course an employer may demand not only knowledge but also experience in which case yes, both are required. But in general, qualified does not universally mean experienced.

Based on you wrote now, I found the piece I was unable to understand. What you are saying is that: they were not able to get anybody (white males or otherwise) so they invested in a diversity programme which results in more non-white/non-male candidates getting experience and skills and increased the overall job pool of available candidates. If that understanding is correct and the goal is to increase the overall pool of qualified candidates, then why a diversity programme? Why not a general internship programme where the most bright of _inexperienced_ candidates are chosen irrespective of their color/gender? Note the stress on inexperience since your argument is based on lack of experience for non-white/non-male population. That takes care of:

1. Companies' responsibility to train
2. Increases the overall pool of candidates
3. Ensures that the brightest are getting into the pool i.e. merit rules instead of skin color/gender (which means that if a non-white/non-male person is the brightest, they get the experience and join the pool)

Especially when animated by varying over time the 3D hyperplane on which the object is projected. POV-Ray, the venerable open-source raytracer, has had a 4D Julia primitive for ages and with current processors is a pretty good way to explore the Julia space.

> The situation now is that even if a man qualifies better than a woman for a job, they would choose a woman for boosting the numbers.

How did you conclude that? May be they are just making the work environment more suitable for women? May be more women are applying to your workplace? How did you conclude that the women engineers coming in are less qualified than men?
