I both agree and disagree. It's certainly a reframing of Gmail in a more light format, but it has one killer feature (which is also the only reason I'm currently using it over Gmail) – email snoozing. To get that in Gmail you need a label-based plugin (desktop only) or a third-party app (to get it on mobile as well) afaik.

That's a very noble view. I'd say the point of education is primarily money: for the teachers/profs who teach and the students who study. Academics in the humanities in particular like to claim that listening to them lecture for a few years will grant someone a better soul and make them intellectually superior for life, but there's no evidence of that and indeed, I sometimes suspect it's the opposite.

Older NVIDIA GPUs (and maybe current ones) used an alternating-direction scheme for coarse rasterization which was called (somewhat tongue in cheek) boustrophedonic rasterization. The idea was to have more spatial locality for the coverage samples issued by the rasterizer compared to a conventional same-direction scheme. Spatial locality in the two-dimensional sense correlates to spatial locality in the texture cache, for example.

Why is certificate management not integrated with DNS? You already have to consult DNS to get an address to connect to, so why not piggyback certificate validity information on top of that?

> With GPG, the only key that _has_ to be used for signing is the master key, the first key that appears in a user's key listing. For all other sub-keys, each key is explicitly marked as having a specific purpose.

Well it's only by-convention [0]:

> By convention, the top-level key provides signature services, and the subkeys provide encryption services.

[0]: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4880#section-5.5.1.2

Personally I left the main key with Certify only (disabled Sign when creating the key with expert mode) and generated signing keys as subkeys.

> One important thing to note, though, is that the OpenPGP Card standard (which the Yubikey implements) has an optional flag, which requires the PIN every time you do a signature. So, for me, the authentication key is like a local agent-stored SSH key: You "unlock" it once, and then it works for a while before you have to re-enter the PIN. But for signing, I have to re-enter the PIN every time.

A middle ground for encryption and authentication keys is Yubico's touch-to-use [1], you enter your PIN once and then have to touch the token to use the key.

The phase 2 study primarily looked at safety. There was no correction for multiple hypothesis testing on the efficacy endpoints. So it seems that the only conclusion that is warranted is that the study shows no adverse health effects and that "larger clinical trials are warranted to establish the efficacy of hMSCs in this multisystem disorder." as they state in the conclusion.

It is interesting if it works, but lets wait for the next phase before assuming it does.

Thanks for the great explanation of tail recursion.

But I still don't see how tail recursion implements memoisation? One might even argue that tail recursion is the opposite of memoisation; while tail recursion saves memory because it eliminates the need to remember previous results of function calls, memoisation on the other hand uses extra memory to save results of earlier function calls.
Yeah, I love I2P. Tahoe-LFS is well supported with I2P and vice-versa but I think it has the same duplication annoyance like IPFS.

Is this an opportunity for a new type of law firm that opens up to deal with one type of complaint for one company and offers extremely low fees to file? The idea would be that the paperwork is all the same for the X thousand/million people suing INDIVIDUALLY such that economies of scale take over and the cost of actually filing and pushing the suit through becomes cheap enough for almost anyone.

On the side of Giant Bank, they suddenly have 150,000 lawsuits filed against them and have to act in some way. Is that even allowed? Would a court just tell the law firm to go away and stop spamming it?

There are so many rights we have to fight for first (saying from a company that builds open source hardware products).

+ The right to have your data not being used in ways you wouldn't give permission for.

+ The right to have your data and devices properly protected against malignant actors

+ The right to be able to use your devices as you want, resell them, use them years after you bought them

+ The right to expect standards to apply. If you are relying on 110V, it should not be 180V.

By the way, just standardization for power plugs/outlets would already save more money and resources than you can probably imagine. Especially if we enforce same grid voltage and freq everywhere in the world. Electrical engineering is too important to leave to individual nation states.

There are other non-rights, like usability, look and feel, and prestige that are much more important to everybody than anything w.r.t. fiddling around with your stuff.

"The pressure from consumers is in the favor of slimmer, sleeker gadgets. This causes manufacturers to use production techniques that make repairing impossible."

I am not sure: we can only choose from what the manufacturers decide to build. At some point, Apple seem to have become obsessive about trying to make every model of device thinner than the previous generation, and it sometimes seems like executives in other companies are fixated on Apple. AFAIK, no manufacturer tried to buck the trend and ship a relatively "fatter" device marketed as having longer battery life, replaceable batteries etc. as features.

I would actually be interested to move our research groups website there. However, I'd first have to check with the Uni IT / security if it is allowed to host a website externally.

I doubt that. Chargebacks are the problem. As soon as you mention to a payment processor that you might be taking for adult content they drop you like a hot brick.
This is much more explicit in a different, much simpler RPG called Fate, which is my new favourite.

You will note that negative sampling improved by leveraging information on word pairs form dictionaries entries (we called it "controlled negative sampling") do help, though not much. It actually really depends in the rare words rate (see section 5.4, improvement ranges from 0.7% up to 10%). But I guess it is already an interesting, somehow counter-intuitive, observation.

Another very interesting observation is that you can also choose to just clamp a general purpose dataset and expand it with external contextual information (meaning not using is for supervision but rather just collapse it at the end of the training corpus in a raw form [^]). In our case, we call those corpus :
- corpus A : plain old wikipedia dump
- corpus B : plain old wikipedia dump + dictionaries text collapse at the end of it.

It sounds a bit naive : the latter part of the training corpus is really small w.r.t. the full wikipedia dump.
Nonetheless, it has an significant impact on word similarity (see improvement in Table 2 to see how those training corpus influences representations learnt by word2vec, fasttext and dict2vec).
(Related to the effect of the training corpus : https://arxiv.org/pdf/1507.05523v1.pdf)

I mention this effect of training corpus content here since it sounds like an interesting info for the working natural language processing practitioners (get a mid size general training corpus, add as many contextual corpus as possible => may yield useful embeddings...).

[^] to be entirely fair, this has been suggested to us by an anonymous reviewer, many thanks for him/her for pointing this out : I found the results surprising.
The answer is we need competition. These "curated, private commons" from amazon to twitter to youtube to facebook to ebay to all of the above cannot and should not replace the free market, which they are trying to do. What is happening here is exactly why we decided Trusts were a bad thing back in the day, although these are "smaller" companies, one point of failure can mean death for a host of consumers.

“In the first trial 15 frail patients received a single MSC infusion collected from bone marrow donors aged between 20 and 45 years old. Six months later all patients demonstrated improved fitness outcomes, tumor necrosis factor levels and overall quality of life.

The second trial was a randomized, double blind study with placebo group. Again no adverse affects were reported and physical improvements were noted by the researchers as "remarkable".

"There are always caveats associated with interpreting efficacy in small numbers of subjects, yet it is remarkable that a single treatment seems to have generated improvement in key features of frailty that are sustained for many months," writes David G.

The problem is that its not just San Francisco - in a city like New York (which none would accuse of being affordable) you still have fairly decent options of living outside the city in at least somewhat affordable areas within halfway reasonable commute to jobs.

in SFBA it's almost entirely either unaffordable and/or dangerously crime infested and the semi-affordable options that aren't require an insane commute.

While there are some topological issues, the main differences between NYC and SFBA are transit infrastructure + density.

SFBA[0]: 8.75m people at 859/square-mile density.

Greater NYC[1]: 23.7m people at 1,781.3/square-mile density.

I said why in the sentence before the one you ran off with. Because they get higher than usual chargebacks.

This is due to the "I shouldn't have spent money on that" feeling when the user is done with the service. You'll also have fraudulent cards because there's no physical location they need to order things to to test that the card works. Probably an aspect of underaged users using parents cards due to the nature of the content and a cherry on top in the form of money laundering as the services allows the user to receive money.

As it's a service not goods it's much more easy to chargeback. I'd imagine places that sell adult products have less of an issue, because they have proof of goods.

Re: your papers. I've looked at such research before. I've yet to see such a study that's as conclusive as it's made to sound. Last time:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15490501

Randomly picking the last paper you cite for example, we learn that Spanish companies with more women on the board have better financial performance. Seems like an open and shut case! But then buried deep in the paper, we also learn that the Spanish government has passed lots of sexually discriminatory laws that financially advantage companies that achieve arbitrary gender quotas, most notably, only companies with a certain level of female presence on boards can bid for public contracts.

The Spanish economy isn't the best. Big chunks of the Spanish economy is propped up by government spending originating in ECB quantitative easing and it's been that way for a while. If companies with male-only boards are being discriminated against in public procurement contracts, that by itself is sufficient to explain part of the difference.

That's a common problem with papers that argue more women on boards = more financial performance. Invariably they are studying countries that artificially tip the playing field towards such companies already, making it difficult to disentangle the different factors.

I recall a dramatic bug where, in 2012, I rolled out a new version of a web GUI with some JS mixed in it to an intranet audience of IE 7 and Firefox users. It initially looked good, but then reports came in that IE users couldn't use one of the buttons. After much debugging and confusion, it turned out that there was a trailing comma at the end of an array literal (i.e. `[1,2,3,]` instead of `[1,2,3]`). Firefox accepted that, but IE 7 didn't. (I think IE 8 added support for trailing commas.)

That's itself a very biased telling of how things are.

The USA along with many other western nations now discriminates against men in favour of women, in many concrete and very specific ways:

- Family courts

- Rape shield laws

- In the private sector, tech sector programmes handing out money but only to women

- Laws that mandate gender ratios in certain situations, like bidding on government contracts

Society has bent over backwards to try and create equality of outcome for women, thereby simultaneously eliminating equality of opportunity for men. This is not actually progress. Progress would be equal opportunity for all.

"Reboot".sounds very woo-y so I'll explain the science behind it as I understand it. Fasting, after your glycogen reserves are depleted, lowers white blood cells. This in turns triggers the immune system to generate new cells. This seems to be helpful in patients undergoing chemotherapy.

It takes about 48 hours to deplete your glycogen, that's where "3 days" comes from - 2 to deplete glycogen then a third for immune system regeneration.

I say, give it a shot for sure. It's a lot easier to do once you've done it before. I practice fasting regularly.
