What happens when an untrusted person that uses your PIN on a regular basis for legitimate reasons becomes untrusted? Now you need to reset your PIN and retrain FaceID?
I hope IOS gives a warning when changing the PIN that if you think FaceID has been compromised to retrain FaceID. edit: because the idea that FaceID could be compromised like this is non-obvious
What about Sacramento? The city is seeing more and more people moving to it, due to the warm climate and the location close to the Bay.
Of course it's fair. Tech dominates the world, it's not about numbers, it's about being able to understand everyone using modern communication methods.

Regarding china, they chose isolationist politics (just like russia lol), it's everyone else's duty to pull the blanket over to the 'everyone' side from 'china' side.

I really enjoy his lectures but people should be aware that he's been in the middle of some controversy over LGBT legislation in Canada and has attracted a following of vocal red pill types. The comments on his YouTube videos are kind of disturbing. His psychology lectures are great and I mostly share his views on post modernism, but I wouldn't want to be associated with his fan club.

I'd assume the bar for this, though, is far higher than just claiming it. Obviously we're not not dealing with a clear cut poor working conditions like no restroom on site, or constant verbal abuse, etc; the meat of the contention seems to be that he wasn't allowed to discuss company policy with coworkers in regards to a politically sensitive subject, and that people with political views that don't cleanly align with that policy feel ostracized. That seems pretty close to "my freedom of speech wasn't protected".

Regardless, it feels like the litigation is somewhat lacking in merit unless Damore can cleanly tie it back issues that made his day to day job difficult to perform (i.e. bona fide poor working conditions).
But falsifiability is not the purpose of liberal arts creation is. This is one of the reasons I don't believe that it belongs in an academic discipline were critical thinking seems to be of higher value than constructive thinking.
The typical use case for a TV is fine, since the images are constantly changing. An iPhone has a static image by default (your home screen and lock screen). You can have a 3D effect for the background, but the app icons stay in one place.
I think about this a lot, mostly about Rochester, NY (where I went to college). It has world-class universities (and a renowned music conservatory[1]!), great history, festivals, relatively low unemployment[2] and the housing is dirt, dirt cheap[3].

The thing is, right now I make a pretty great salary in NYC and I don't know that anything in Rochester could come close, even taking into account cost of living. Even if everything is expensive here, and even if expenses might be lower on a percentage basis in Rochester, I think I'm still able to save more in absolute terms where I am now. Not sure about that though, would need to run the numbers to confirm.

The Nazis were continually repressed by mob violence and later by the state. Hitler specifically credits this repression as strengthening their convictions and helping them recruit.

That is, restrictions on freedom of speech led to the Nazis.

Anecdotally, as a history undergrad and grad student, almost all collegiate history courses are like that if they’re any good at all. You do occasionally get low-level surveys that seem more like laundry lists of names and dates, but overwhelmingly in my experience courses will focus on the question of why. You’re studying the interplay of people, ideas, economies, technology, et al to understand how and why a particular thing happened.
They have pressure and really care about their face. They are like concrete: they break much later, but can’t bend and there are no pressure valves. Their is only catostrophic failure, nothing in between. They still have to scapegoat like other politicians.

> It's also weird to suggest that no historical claims are falsifiable. That seems to put real history on a par with nutty conspiracy theories.

In my humble opinion the scarceness of falsifiability in history is the reason why it is so easy to create nutty conspiracy theories about history vs, say, mathematics or physics.

To eliminate the strata system we'd need to force everybody to report their incomes and expenses. And that's a huge amount of data to process, that's why the strata was devised. So yeah, we could, and should, but we won't.
Yes, just like people warning about the housing bubble before 2008, that was never going to happen. In the 80s people kept talking about a Japanese asset bubble. Chicken little.

That assumes you can find a job where the housing is cheap, and you won't end up with as much money. Some things are not cheaper in poor areas like flights.
They're not mutually exclusive. Static type checking is fine if you can cover all your code with it, but it doesn't enforce anything at runtime. If you're writing a library that will be called by other people's code (which likely won't be statically type-checked), it might still be useful to validate your functions' inputs at runtime.

Then one should prefer the universities in Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan. Students from those countries outclass everyone else on every level of the education system. Just look at PISA results and TIMSS -- it is almost scary how good they are. In fact, one should avoid all American colleges since American students are quite a bit below the international average on those rankings!
Facebook can in fact do most of the things you mention.

Their 'taxing' of netizens takes several forms, mainly displaying ads and collecting and selling information about them. Both of these are profitable to Facebook (or they wouldn't do them), and injurious to users (in lost privacy and attention). Facebook can choose how much of it they do; they balance taxation (profits) with user retention (emigration).

Facebook have a monopoly on many kinds of force on their platform. They and only they can remove or block content and ban accounts. And unlike other states, there are no courts, no constitution, and no way for rebels to gain these powers for themselves by force.

The question of granting netizenship is less important, because Facebook encourages immigration: they'd love all the world to be their netizens! But they can exile people they don't like, or block them from joining.

Facebook also have partial control of the presses in their country and of the commerce at its borders (in- and out-going links).

Your statement is obviously false (counter example: analytic philosophy produces conjectures that are black-or-white-falsifiable on the exact same basis as mathematical conjectures). Since you are engaging in epistemology, you may appreciate that the above is also an example of what falsification looks like when it is not formal. I'd suggest reading some Popper.

Kangbashi is still a ghost city, they’ve just zoned out a bunch of empty apartment buildings and moved the goalpost from millions of people to a few hundred thousand. Anyways, most 3rd tier and up cities in china have zones with lots of empty apartments, they are all sold out to speculators, but even the government can’t think of anything to do with them.

I can copy the code, re-license as plain-MIT

You can't relicense someone elses code. You dont have the right to do that.

If you fork this code, only your changes would be under MIT. So you would have a mixed-license project, and users would need to comply with both licenses.

If you don't want to use this license, you have to fork it from before the license change... giving up the changes that were made after the new license takes effect.

How are you equating breathing to be as difficult as being physically connected to another person 24/7 exactly? Additionally because of the join angle, you can never hold your head straight, meaning your view of the world is constantly from a 45 angle.

The world is not designed with you in mind - you cannot drive, likely not able to sit comfortably on an airplane, or even walk up stairs or go through single doors without turning to the side. Try putting food in your mouth from an angle or even having a drink. What about just sitting in a chair? And how will you have relationships with other people? Equating all this to breathing is a serious lacking of empathy on your part.

Yes, there would be side-effects.

The classic formulation in economics is you can at most pick two out of three for your monetary policy: control over domestic variables like GDP, open capital markets, control over exchange rates.

I was suggesting to leave the capital markets open and stabilize GDP, but to give up on control over exchange rates. That's basically how the Bank of England reacted after the Brexit referendum: they let the pound take the hit so that the real economy wouldn't have too.

Not sure what you mean by 'external investment would be destroyed'?

I majored in math, and then did a PhD in physics. My first job out of grad school involved programming the controls for factory machines. These machines involved a technology that couldn't be bought off-the-shelf, and thus required custom controls. Today, I'm an "architect" at a business that makes measurement equipment.

My perception is that it was easier to cross disciplines when I got out of school, more than a couple decades ago. Things like "embedded systems" weren't well enough defined to have an established training-to-job career path, so it was easier to break into those fields. Rejecting candidates who didn't match a template was only beginning to be automated. Today, bigger employers are looking for training that is more specific to the task at hand.

So if you're in a rapidly emerging area where workers tend to be younger, you might see fewer cross-disciplinary people. At my workplace, the people with "generalist" background who are now working in specialized areas of engineering, tend to be over 50, myself included.

Indeed. I owe a significant amount of my professional and financial success to being able to communicate my/my teams' ideas and breakdown and communicate company strategy to my teams.

After a certain base level of excellence in engineering or another technical field, the distinguishing characteristic among levels of accomplishment seems to be communication, not a further 0.5% better at engineering. I see so many great technical people who are unable to communicate effectively and suffer badly from this.
YouTube and Facebook Removing Evidence of Atrocities, Jeopardizing Legal Cases
Affordable housing and good salaries are usually on the conflicting ends of the same scale.

A place that has high-paying jobs will have residents out-bidding each other, driving up the prices of the housing market. Conversely, super cheap housing is usually an indicator that there really is no demand from affluent residents.

As a counter-point to what I just said, more and more information-based jobs can be done remotely in a very effective manner. This lets people enjoy these small towns and their high salary. Two things could happen, though:

- this could form communities with enough remote workers to start altering the housing prices, and produce a similar effect to gentrification in that the locals end up outpriced of their own town;

- or this could encourage a better spread of higher-paid employees throughout a lot of small towns, and end up not affecting those towns markets. And as a bonus, this might even help relieve the housing pressure on the larger cities.

It's a great project but I don't understand why they need so much money for the future. It's a bundling tool. Wasn't it supposed to be a transition project? Won't Webpack get replaced by simpler things like ES6 module import and HTTP2 push?

Webpack would probably have benefited more from this funding a few years ago.

Gosh. I'm not sure. What kind of idiot would boldly post their poorly thought through comments on a public forum?
Sounds like it will only happen if the faces are similar. So if the threshold for matching is 95% match to the internal model, but the faces are 90% similar, and then the new face enters the correct PIN, then the new face will be used to tweak the model, which will move the error to inbetween the features of both. So if their faces are similar to within twice the margin-of-error of the detection algorithm, then you can probably get this effect.

All that said "an untrusted person that uses your PIN" knows your PIN... so they are a trusted person as far as the OS is concerned. There's nothing you can do with FaceID/TouchID that you can't do with the PIN. All FaceID/TouchID do is decrypt the PIN from the secure enclave. So if you've shared your PIN with them, then this is a weird thing, but not actually a security violation.
