I don't think that analogy is a fair comparison to make because it doesn't fairly portray that Purism doesn't have a choice in this. It is the upstream manufacturers who control this area, and they will have no reason at all to make something which is RYF approved unless someone big enough is pushing for it.

So to make this comparison more apt, it's more like a sausage maker who is focused on making vegetarian sausage. Now, it just so happens that they'd also love to make these sausages vegan sausages, but the suppliers of the contents of the sausage just don't make a "meat" which is vegan because literally no one with any power has asked for it before. If no one buys their sausages there is literally no chance of a vegan sausage being produced because there is just no reason for it.

Even that isn't really an apt comparison because it doesn't correctly portray the ubiquity of cell phones. I guess instead of a sausage maker it would be something more like "a producer of food", where there is literally no vegan food anywhere. So what I don't understand in all this is why someone who wants an RYF certified cell phone would choose not to support the one group even attempting such a thing. You don't even need to eat the sausage or use the phone in this case either, they just need the support.
I was referring about the 3d touch on iPhones. Maybe safari on mac and on iphone share something in them which makes 3d touch on iphone act like a force touch on macs.
It's not that we need to understand our neural networks better, it's that we need to understand our problem domain better.

How 'bout "creating models that can work with more dimensions of the problem domain than are conveyed by standard data labeling"?

I mean, we don't simply want AI but actually "need" it in the sense that problems like biological system are too complex to understand without artificial enhancements to our comprehension processes - thus to "understand the problem domain better" we need AI. If it's true that "to build AI, we need to understand the problem domain better", it leaves us stuck in a chicken-and-problem. That might be the case but if we're going find a way out, we are going to need to build tools in the fashion humans used to solve problems many times before.
Best i can tell, Firefox is doing something on Android during first (cold?) launch that just chugs the storage. The really problem source is that all this is stored in the cache dir for the app, and that can and will be flushed at irregular intervals. This resulting in Firefox doing it over again next time it is launched.

I cringed when I read this.
Mate, the constitution is what makes this illegal. They cannot do a binding referendum unilaterally with any open dialog. This referendum is not a discussion, or for asking opinions, is to create an separately country. Well, it is not even clear what they exactly want, they just say they want to be independent, but nothing how or the trade of.
I think you're confusing daily volume with volume available at any one time. Read what I said, dump 10 mil at once. Just because you can trade 10 million in a day doesn't mean the market can handle a 10 million dollar order in one shot without massive slippage due to lack of liquidity. You could drop a 50 million dollar order on the EURUSD and you might maybe move the market 1 point, but a mere 10 million would instantly cause a large swing of perhaps 10% in the bitcoin market, that's why it's so volatile, it's a small market.

It's so small you have individual holders the community now calls whales who can individually manipulate the price with buy and sell walls; no individual can do anything remotely like that in the FX market. One because they don't have enough money, and two because such market manipulation is illegal.

You'd need to spread your purchase or sale out over the day to avoid massive slippage for an order that big because there just isn't enough liquidity to absorb it without the moving the price. 10 mill is about 2500 coins, go look at the order book on any exchange, a purchase that large is going to massively move the price, looks to be possibly 300-400 dollars you'd move the market with that one order. 50 million would certainly crash/bubble the market.
That's not quite accurate. The score adjustments are periodic, not constant. The 100 average is from some years ago, and will be adjusted some time in the future. It is not constantly changing to reflect current scores.
As you guessed, when your worker makes a subrequest to your own zone, it goes directly to your origin server, but when you subrequest to some other domain, it goes in "the front door", and that other domain's scripts apply.

If a request bounces back such that the same worker script would need to run twice as a result of a single original request, then it fails with an error. There's nothing else we can do here: we can't let the request loop, but we also can't let it skip your script after it's bounced through a third-party script.

Agreed, but this move seems like a grab at Patreon and self promotion in general. Users can still put obnoxious annotations up.
What you're seeing isn't IBM being unethical, but more like nation-states being outdated concepts.

The IT industry is the first truly global industry. I can do my job from a coffee shop in NYC, a mountain monastery in Tibet, or a beach in Cancun. I just need my trusty laptop and WiFi access.

And yet, even though I'm the same person, doing the same work, I get taxed differently, I pay different prices for the same goods, and the cost of living is vastly different. Why should I be "allowed" to do work for IBM from the NYC coffee-shop but not the from Cancun beach? Would the product of my brain's labor be vastly different? Does me hopping on a plane and committing code from a different longitude and latitude make me a less-deserving person?

And yes, Indian jobs should get outsourced to another country - if it makes sense. Why not? Why do we have "protected" classes of people? And who gets to decide who's protected?

Software is truly unique like that - you can collaborate with people you've never seen face-to-face, different perspectives, different cultures, but all working towards a common goal. I'm not aware of any other industry you can do that.

And you expect IBM to just sit there quietly, while told, "Hire Jim, not Srinivas, because although Srinivas can do the exact same work for 1/10th the cost, Jim, being American, is a more important human being, your competitive advantage be damned" ?
That's basically a wrapper around Webview, that in turn is chrome based...
Oh my god of course it's not, unless by government you mean something broader than the executive branch, in which case you have to include the judiciary too. The three separate powers is the foundation of western democracies.
Based on previous comments it sounds like their business is fundamentally illegal anyway (prostitution?) and thus it's pointless for them to comply with SEC regulations. But this approach doesn't generalize.
Does anyone know anything more about these “capsules”? I’ve seen some nature articles on them but these were from a neuroscience perspective. Has Hinton published anything on them?

Also if Hinton is the Einstein of deep learning, then will capsules be his “unified field theory”? I feel that if we embrace the Einstein analogy we should embrace it to its fullest.

This post just notes some back of the envelope math I do in my head in terms of what to expect with a moderate box (r3.2xl or so). It is not the limit of how far a single node PG can go and I'm sure you can go much higher with a very well tuned PG on larger boxes :)
mother/habitual

This is not the same thing. My mother tongue is not my (current) habitual tongue. I don't see where the report shows the habitual tongue spoken.
"Internt for people, not for profit"

This is a great slogan, but actions speak louder than words. Why hasn't FF implemented basic privacy protections and block trackers like Safari does? If Firefox is really "for people," this seems like an area they should be leading in. A cynic (like me) might suggest that it is because Mozilla has become utterly dependent on ad revenue for their survival.

Long gone are the days when Mozilla was funded by donations and t-shirt sales. There was a time when it was more than just a browser maker, it was the spearhead of an internet movement for open source. I miss those days.
iOS 11 Installed on 25% of Devices One Week After Launch--https://www.macrumors.com/2017/09/26/ios-11-one-week-25-perc...
Good point.

But let's say 50% of those people aren't in the place to get jobs because they are Elderly, Mentally Unstable, Substance Addicted.

Could we move those homeless people who aren't "job ready" outside the city to a cheaper area? And then maybe move them back into affordable housing once they are ready to transition into a job?
Not really. This controversy is similar to people complaining about the loss of PC power buttons in 1997.

The previous behavior was turning off the radio, which is often not the intent of the user. They replaced it with turning off joining networks, which is more often user intent.

With the proliferation of personal connected devices like smart watches and cars, and point to point WiFi services like airdrop, users often want or need to have the radio on to utilize those services. At the same time, users may not want to join WiFi networks due to poor performance (ie one-bar WiFi), ineligibility for use (I’m at a Hilton for a conference, but am not eligible for free WiFi because I’m not staying there), or some other reason.

The previous behavior also duplicated the behavior of the “airplane mode” button in some scenarios.

IMO the iOS 11 behavior adds value in most cases and has two easy workarounds (airplane mode or system preferences) for people who want the radio off.
Yup. For one example of a software package that can use GPUs to accelerate password cracking and hash brute forcing, folks can look at hashcat: https://hashcat.net/hashcat/
Spray paint the IP of ipfs.io?

For reference it's 147.135.130.181. Or if you want to go to the Catalan referendum page, it's http://147.135.130.181/ipns/QmZxWEBJBVkGDGaKdYPQUXX4KC5TCWbv.... Unfortunately SSL doesn't work, as the certificate is only valid on ipfs.io.
This analogy is repeated again and again but is a bad example. A divorce is not "a right", is an agreement regulated by law between two previously married people to put a legal end to the relationship.

The true fact is that I can't divorce from my wife without her permit and she could not divorce from me without me agreeing to sign the divorce papers. Does not match the case of one part splitting unilaterally. A better term for this case would be marital abandonment, and a even better term would be family abuse. There is not such thing like a "right to desert your family keeping the house for yourself only".
> Pinochet.

So just because he instituted some free market policies, hes capitalist? In no way did any capitalist figurehead advocate any of his violence. Also, what was Pinochet's body count? many orders of magnitude less than just Mao right?

> Almost all western countries are capitalist I believe? Usually I take western to mean (1) democratic (2) capitalist.

You are stretching the word capitalist beyond any recognition. It simply does not describe a government embargo nor aggressive government actions by any definition.
As of 2017, world wide financial assets (stocks, bonds, and notes; _excluding_ real estate and capital assets) amount to nearly $300 trillion. (Trillion, not billion.) Only about 20% of that is public debt.

Private industry sits on a tremendous amount liquid wealth. And because of income inequality, it's actually principally controlled by a relatively small number of people.

In other words, not only is private industry capable of financing a Mars mission, the reality is that private financing may be the _only_ realistic option.

For any skeptic wondering how Musk is able to "sucker" so many investors, this is why--there's just a god-awful amount of private money looking for even the most meager gains.

Note that the Federal Reserve's QE2 amounted to only $2 trillion, less than 1% of global financial assets. If you think quantitative easing has led to an asset bubble, think again. Or rather, think bigger. Whatever you think, just realize that we're living in a brave new word with wealth beyond what anybody can scarcely imagine even today. Few people, if any, understand either the possibilities or systemic risks. The magnitude of things, and the speed with which it evolved, is mind boggling.
Yeah I know that. The point I was trying to make is that the referendum wasn't deemed illegal because "the government of Catalonia isn't allowed to ask people's preferences". It is allowed and it happens all the time.
IMO, your original comment is too brief, reading as antagonistic. You weren't just politely asking for clarification along with an expression of your understanding.

And anyway, they're just internet points, who cares. I throw my account away when I get to 100, keeps me from getting worked up about it.
Sorry to go off on you because this is a larger issue then your comment but seriously, can we hold this discussion to a higher standard?

Prove to me that Google is tracking me through Chrome. Link me to an article with proof of collection.

Most of us our developers here, surely we can apply some more rigor to this conversation then “we know Google is doing this because it’s Google”.
I actually tried to build it from source.

Oh, god. What a monstrosity of a build system. And the documentation (or lack thereof)...here there be tygers.
I really don't understand how they have made it to this point.
Obviously money is not enough. SF spends more than $300 million on homeless per year, and SF is still a disaster. The money is not being spent usefully, but there is zero accountability and tracking. It's a complete disaster and yet no one is doing anything about it. The politicians who are making SF residents pay for this should be held accountable and a real solution should be made. You could build a mental hospital and fund it with the $300 million that SF spends for these homeless people. It's a disgrace.

Its curious to see, I travel around a bit and I'm always astounded how many countries still use cash and have backwards banking infrastructure.

You'd think transferring money from one account to another should be near instantaneous and require no third party. If bitcoins can shake the rest of the world into the modern age I'm all for it.
It's not housing that's the issue. It's mental health. Most homeless people are suffering from mental health so giving them a place to stay won't solve anything.
Ah, okay, that's what I missed from the example out of context.
The war was between European powers and had many ramifications in different places. For Catalonia the net result was that it lost its political institutions and became a province in a centralised state.
Thanks. That is a heck of a complement coming from you! I never used bitkeeper, but I've used lmbench since the 90s.

Did you get so far as to implement a pageout daemon that scanned vnodes like that? We send only via sendfile, and we give the kernel hints about what should be freed using the SF_NOCACHE flag. This helps a lot. When we think we're serving something cold based on various weighed popularity rankings, we pass the SF_NOCACHE flag to sendfile(). This causes the page to be released immediately when the last mbuf referencing it is freed.
There is no parity
This is a good start.

What other fields do you collect / plan to make searchable?

FYI: I did a search for Bootstrapper Breakfasts and it didn't find any so I am not sure how much of the other sites you are scraping.

Happy to chat if you plan to expand search capabilities.
Seems to be a recent-ish addition...
>"The networking stack has also handily beat Linux for as long as I can remember."

Can you quantify what "beat" means here? Do you have a citation for this? I am doubting this is true in 2017.
Exactly. Being ethical is more important than being legal.

To be fair, our entire business model is illegal in the US, and mostly illegal in many countries. We already have to deal with the penalties for running an escort agency.

On the plus side, it's a good business model so our chance of success is pretty high. If we end up having good returns, there will be less complaints and we'll be less of a target for the SEC organically.

We intend to be the first blockchain-funded cypherpunk unicorn. It would set a bad precedent if we didn't treat investors fairly.

Nitpicking but considering the context of the news item, I think you meant "secession". Edit distance of 2 but makes a lot of difference in the meaning of your sentence.
For those of you who are down voting, perhaps you could explain why this case might be different from any other value hype. What happened to trust no one--verify?

You might have missed the non-stop concentrations of people claiming for independence. Or if you think the app being banned from the Play Store is by a private individual developed using their own funds, you should know it's not the case.
After years of Chrome I'm back on Firefox(beta).
I use "No Title Bar" gnome extension and "Tab center redux" plus userChrome.css to move the tab bar to the side. The top side is actually quite compact.
It is explained in the above (official) link.
Looks like a different sort of introspection than expected at most museums. I think the natural progression is to some ridiculous meta exhibit built around one of these selfy installations, where onlookers can reflect on the spectacle and come up with something like the curators response:
“We’re all flabbergasted, to be frank. I wonder, what are they even trying to say? ‘I am here Instagramming?’"
I had the same complaints until someone told me that Ctrl + '.' opens up the container menu and you can use `tab` to cycle through containers.

Isn't it? From what I can tell, it was adopted by the Spanish dictatorship in 1943.
Encapsulation to me is about limiting the supported API. It sucks to release something, and then find many of your users are depending on accidentally-exposed private values or functions that are all going to break if you do the dream refactor needed to fix all the previous problems and enable new stuff. In situations where the API consumers can't pin an old version (like how a plugin can't choose the version of the product used), then you end up with a constant churn of breakage if the system doesn't limit its API exposure to just the mature public parts. In situations where the API consumers can pin an old version, you end up with consumers updating as slow as possible only when they want a new feature occasionally, missing many fixes or other improvements until much later.
I thought Zcash was only for Israelis?
Just expressing your solidarity is more than enough. It seems silly but it really gives us strength and determination.
I think that it's likely because Apple has much more leverage and their major source of funding isn't their browser. I could imagine a world where ad-based services started blocking/paywalling Firefox user-agents. Hopefully now that Apple has opened the door Mozilla is safe to walk through too.
> "JavaScript isn’t like CSS or HTML. Both these building blocks of the web are fault-tolerant. This means when you write invalid HTML, the browser tries to fix it. If you use bleeding edge CSS in an old browser, it ignores it. Not so with JavaScript."

This really isn't a statement about the language, but about its use (and even more about frameworks). If your script breaks, your browser still happily displays the page as-is, if there's a type error, the language tries to make the best of it (much to its criticism), there's even a self-correction mechanism in the syntax (semicolon auto-insertion). If your first script silently and gracefully fails on an error, your other scripts will still execute (just like any other HTML tag). It really depends on the use, and the same criticism may be applied to, say, CSS:

E.g., we may come to the – rather amazing – conclusion that putting all the text content of a page into the content attributes of the before and after pseudo-classes is the only way to do it, because it's a) a rather new feature, b) sexy, c) CSS is then your single source, and d) why not? Then, hey, CSS is now Turing complete, why not build an entire client-side framework on this? And, maybe, a headless CSS engine for the backend? And, boom, everything fails on a single malformed CSS expression...
I hope they make it easy to rebrand their browser, just like webkit did. That way, companies don't feel compelled to develop their own code, with of course all sorts of compatibility problems that come with it.
You are right, live reloading is just for the UI part. Swift doesn’t have the same dynamism ObjC had, so we can’t simply swap the implementation. We’ve tried Injection4Xcode (hope I got the name right), but it’s limited to ObjC only (or @objc Swift classes).
Well that, and paying every adware from here to eternity to bundle a Chrome installer...
> If I'm mistaken, then which European country did you have in mind, which couldn't decide to do the same thing, because their respective institutions would strike down the law as unconstitutional (even if it had majority support)?

You think the government of California can pass a law of secession and that law wouldn't be stroke down?
Wow, the potential massive leak of private information this could lead to seems quite irresponsible...
Like I said, I've read the above official link. Multiple times, by now. Nowhere do I see a reference to the habitual language. Only to the Primera Llengua, which is

Llengua o llengües que la persona ha parlat primer a casa seva. Es considera que aquesta llengua ha estat transmesa familiarment i adquirida en el procés de socialització de l'individu.

This is not the habitual language. So, where is it?
Firefox is fast but I'm using several profiles (one for programming websites, one for sysadmin accounts, one for personal, one for politics) and running ~3 instances is sluggish. Chrome has built-in profile management so it's just as fast with 1 or 3 instances. I don't believe it's such an unusual usecase, even my parents ask me all the time how to protect their privacy. A good idea that Ted Cruz might have missed.

I used to live a block from that house. There are many like that in Cleveland, especially on Fairmount Blvd.

It is important to remember that the rust belt was the silicon valley of its day. No longer. Economic success is often ephemeral. At least there is still enough money in Cleveland to maintain these monuments to distant wealth.
