I don't think comparing the adoption rate of Nazi ideology in nations where it was historically successful to nations where it was historically unsuccessful is appropriate.

A more equivalent comparison is Nazi ideology in Germany/Austria to Klanist ideology in the United States. The list of US politicians with Klan affiliation is long.

Impressive. That would win most time trials at my local club. Have you tried racing?
Everybody shops for the best filesystem around that they can use. The problem is, licensing is a problem.

In other times, the industry would solve this by creating a standard for metadata interchange, but one of the biggest players gets a too big to ignore amount of revenue from FAT, and is able to block any attempt at standardizing.

How long can you ride at that speed? I'm wondering because I average around 15 on my commuter bike and i'm thinking of getting something faster for my commute.
This is dangerous thinking. Its skin-deep diversity. This makes it ok to look at a person and assume they have a typical middle class upbringing, but you don't know anything about that person. They could have grew up doing hard labor on an almond farm in central California and then lived a few years in haiti before going to college.

Diversity does increase innovation, but its a diversity of experience and a diversity of thought and not based on skin color and gender.
Yes. I have made a Docker container containing Keras and the better CNTK backend (+ Jupyter) and it works great: https://github.com/minimaxir/keras-cntk-docker

There's another unexpected bonus to nvidia-docker; CNTK leaks memory if you abort training prematurely, causing the GPU to go OOM. But since the memory is owned by the nvidia-docker process, killing-and-restarting the container fixes the issue without having to restart the entire system.
So quick product idea.

I could see that as true, especially compared to the civil rights era. It's still a despicable thing that shouldn't happen in the US and just goes to show the current US and the former USSR aren't nearly as far apart as they should be.
haha yeah, it was funny reading that after I posted it. My point is people, wont work if they dont have to, working is miserable. But it keeps an order in society that has been shown to be beneficial (look at the development of western democracies).
IMO, that comes with the adjustment to using IM and is partly an office cultural thing. Most people I know toggle their status to "busy" or "DND" when otherwise engaged in a thing, and it's an understanding that being on open status means that people are okay to ping you or send memes.
An Open Letter from Jeff Bezos on the Subject of Patents (2000)
There's some truth in this.

The best solution to this is that if you've got something non-urgent that you'd like a colleague to think about at some point, use a truly asynchronous medium (e.g. e-mail, so long as you're not in an organisation which uses it as a de facto IM platform).

This is true whether or not the people you're trying to communicate with are in the same building.

The story is pretty coherent, but if anyone has references to any scientific/theoretical work on this I'd be very interested in reading it.

I know virtual credit card numbers are a thing, but on the other hand I just solve it by having a different CC for subscription payments vs everyday transactions. If the every day card has fraud and I need to change the number, no skin off my back. If the subscription card needs to be changed, I have a convenient list of everyone I need to contact because it sees the exact same charges every month.
I'm not bothered by this at all Marsha blackburn's district is a gerrymandered mess. She supports some of the worst policies consistently. Repealing net neutrality will just allow ISP's to double dip when charging. First they charge you their customer, for the pipe, then they will charge someone like netflix for faster data, forcing netflix to pass those charges on to you. The ability of an ISP to downgrade services they don't like or that competes with them is too much. There is no discussion to have.

I feel like net neutrality should be fought for at almost all cost. Marsha Blackburn doesn't care what her constituents believe...she got payed and her district is mostly safe.
This was super interesting, thanks for sharing.

It's benefiting from the US structure indirectly. Investors into the fund are definitely benefiting from the US social structure and hence the fund is also benefiting.

I can also imagine that the fund has some US legal protection (don't quote me on that).

> The investors in the fund are obliged to pay taxes on their income/gains in their relevant taxation jurisdiction, which will be the US for US investors and elsewhere for non-US investors.

So why is the fund getting a pass?
True, but I am highly skeptical most people will have issues producing this level of innovation from a coffee shop.
All sounds very far fetched.
Not to be anti-science, but it is worth taking into account that there are a lot of things we think we know now that may turn out to be wrong. Particularly things that are far away in space and time, where the points of data are few. Popular articles discuss the latest theories as "now we know this to be true." I'm thinking articles about details of the Dinosaurs or the size of distant planets. It may be right, but it could be revised with new knowledge.

> In my mind patents were made to protect inventors and the little guy so that he/she could capitalize on their invention before the market is unleashed. When multi-billion dollar companies are gaining government sanctioned exclusivity to something through a patent, something seems off.

I agree. Patent laws have created for moral reasons instead of practical ones. Let this be a lesson to lawmakers to pass regulation based on facts instead of feelings.
>...or even the relatively mild insinuation they should be avoided as a group because of their "immorality" or "agenda".

No, instead you get barbs about "creepiness" or "weirdness". Our society generally treats introverts poorly outside of very specific niches.
I'm 6'6" and haven't flown in nearly two decades - I have no idea if I'm going to fit into a seat at the moment, and have no idea how to check. I'm facing my first work flight next month and a honeymoon in January, and don't know what to do to make sure I'll have enough room. I know there's seat length available online, but who knows if I'll measure correctly and end up wedged into a seat I can't possibly sit into.
Here's a conundrum: Cars kill ~30,000 people per year in the USA. Vehicle emissions cause ~58,000 premature deaths. That's a problem. Not bicycles, not E-bikes, not bike sharing programs, not motorcycles, not skateboards, not rollerblades – Cars!
On my memory, they were very very anxious about anything with capacity to subplant zhifubao. Paypal famously had a one click payment plugin for China, and it got banned by Alibaba nearly instantaneously.

But what I'm saying is that most of the efforts, particularly the hiring / salary / perf eval related ones, are making the "in groups" matter less.

I understand the cynicism, but the actual work people are putting in is much more nuanced than you'd expect from reading twitter or hn or the news.

There's a reason that diversity appeals to companies, and it's not 100% morality. It's because diversity is an indicator that companies are doing better with HR.

Fwiw, I'm actually someone working on this problem, and the changes we implemented improved the chances for every group you listed. That was not an accident, people who care about team performance worry about homogenous groups: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-boss-doesnt-want-your-resum...
I looked into getting one. It would increase my commute range if I move (I ride about 4miles to and from work daily). It would also make me a little less sweaty on those hot summer mornings.

They are fun, you feel very strong riding them. Most have various levels of assist. They are heavy and making them a good workout with the assist off.

I do feel you would get scowls from other riders, though they are a little discreet (pedal assist means you look like pedaling), you do notice when people ride by such little effort.
Exactly, let the ISPs design their traffic and billing model. The market has effects.

Now, you probably want the ISPs to be operated or regulated by your local government so that the marketplace they encourage is favorable to the citizens. But please no more federal regulations on the pipes of communication between citizens.

The bigger issue I see is that by taking away these people's ability to discuss their beliefs they are going to be further radicalized. If they don't believe they can change things peacefully through protest they will become violent.

That's the main reason I don't agree with the banning of daily stormer and google banning Gab.ai from the play store. They are only further enforcing these people's beliefs that the powers that be are against them.
That's not casual commuting but serious workout. I could do this when I biked 20 miles a day full speed.

I think the comment is both quibbling about semantics (the article used the term "technology" overly broadly because the value of the one-click idea isn't in the implementation but really just in the concept) but I think also voices a legitimate complaint.

The same failure of understanding that caused the author of that blog post to misidentify Amazon's one click patent as being related to a "technology" rather than just an idea is also behind the patent office's troubling tendency to issue patents to other ideas. Advocates for patent reform make a convincing case that issuing patent protection to ideas like this actually harms innovation more than it fosters it.

The fact that the actual implementation (technology) of the one click shopping idea, the source code, is protected by copyright is true but isn't particularly relevant. And to answer your second question, copyright prevents anyone from using Amazon's particular one-click source code, but that's largely irrelevant, since it's an idea that can be implemented a million ways, which is a major reason that many people feel it shouldn't be eligible for patent protection.
I think I'd miss pattern matching the most.

The first time I saw how pattern matching with regular expressions automatically extracted the matching bits I was sold.

I'd also miss block expressions. I keep wanting to write if-expressions (as opposed to if-statements) in every non-scala language I touch.

But I agree, c#/.net is a good alternative if you're used to the expressiveness of scala.

The throttling is done client-side, yes. But it's a numbers game - if you enable "official" direct unthrottled downloading, this would bypass the client throttling, effectively increasing network requirements.

Of course, this is just a side point - the strongest reason is likely to be either that YT has a strong incentive to keep users in the site/apps for ad display and engagement (related videos, etc), or that they are unable to do so due to some sort of business deal.

My opinion is that - even if they're not bound by any deal that would forbid them to do so - they would not officially support (much less encourage at any level) direct downloading, because the ads/engagement reason alone is strong enough.
But the users and Netflix already paid for this bandwidth?
This is like double dipping from the ISP.

I sympathize, but it is a hard problem to solve. On the seller side, many orders come in with addresses that are just wrong, or missing suite numbers, business names, etc.

Ups and FedEx charge shippers ~$15 for each instance where they have to address correct.

So, yeah, the period thing is dumb, but automated correction is hard. Even experts, like SmartyStreets get it wrong often.
>Why should it be the employees getting taxed and not the corporation?

I think you are confusing the fund with the mangement company.

An asset manager is a company that manages assets for investors and charges fees. They have employees and offices and profits and pay taxes. Fidelity's parent for example is a US based LLC.

An asset manger like this runs many funds on behalf of investors. For each investment fund, they setup a fund to legally ring fence the assets for that particular fund, which they manage on behalf of the fund's investors. This protects the investors and maintains separations of the assets. If the management company went bankrupt, the funds themselves are unaffected (aside from needing a new manager).

The fund itself has no employees, it's just a method of legally separating out those assets.

I would also point out that this particular case has nothing to do with the US. The manager in question is not a US citizen or resident and I would be extremely surprised if the management company was being setup there.

PODCAST: Key Lessons from Running Over $20m in Subscription Box Ads
One member of the movement, in pursuit of the movements ends, at a movement rally, and with wide praise in the movement, and with the deliberate encouragement not only of the narrow white supremacist movement but the broader right, including the GOP and allied media (which has specifically made efforts to normalize fatally running over peaceful protesters, including advancing legislation in several US jurisdictions to decriminalize it).

Without in one iota mitigating the culpability of the individual perpetrator, I have no problem characterizing this as a killing by the violent White supremacist movement, as well as one contributed to by the broader right-wing movement.

Honestly I find such an order repugnant. Anonymity is crucial to free speech, especially when protesting a group as powerful as G20. I'm sure no-one thinks they should be forced to report their political activity to their employer (at least judging from the outcry when the Trump administration requested all those IP addresses), but such an order is effectively exactly that.

Oops, let me amend that. The partial order of make is still useful for parallel builds from scratch, even if you don't care about incremental builds. Like almost all other languages, shell forces a total order on execution.

On the other hand, computers are fast enough that serial full builds indeed work in some cases.

> However, if you’re using Babel (or create-react-app) to build your source, you have another option: setting arrow functions as class fields (or arrow function methods).

> This gives you the best of both worlds. You get the improved performance from only defining functions once, but you still get the simple method-like syntax.

i think this is wrong because class fields are evaluated in the constructor

i dislike the class fields proposal because it's confusing (as shown by the article) and adds little value (can already use a constructor) and lets you sprinkle the fields all over the class definition instead of having them in one place (the constructor)

also, how it makes own properties instead of prototype properties which would be consistent with how methods are already defined in the class body

only the static fields part of the proposal is good because it's useful (there's no constructor for static fields) and behaves as expected (no "own property vs prototype property" question to get wrong)

And btw there is no way to use make without shell, but you can use shell without make.
