regardless of whether 刀 and 刃 have similar meaning in korean and japanese (in chinese the former refers to the knife/sword itself whereas the latter refers the edge of the knife), the unification of them across multiple languages makes it difficult to handle variations, nuance, and (most importantly for a forward thinking standard) divergence over time. that korean, japanese, and chinese have similar characters for historical reasons doesn't mean they are bound to be the same character forever in their respective languages.

that another commenter below me can't easily transmit to me the character for "smelly" in japanese because whatever font i use is preferring the chinese character for it is a signal that the standard is broken.

This kind of explain a friend who is on H1B leaving their job preemptively for a new one. This person is really good but they can't take a risk because their current employer is not on solid footing.
Not mentioned in disadvantages is that you can't really explain "how" a neural network produces a given output from given inputs. Some things can be figured out from training data, if it were available, but more often than not it isn't, you just get a pre-trained network.

So if were comparing it to software, it's like only shipping binary blob which is basically impossible to debug, and in many cases, throwing away most of the source code (the training data). How many people are actually maintaining the full data sets used to train their networks?

The verified system isn't about luring people to the site, it's about making sure certain accounts can't be impersonated.

The problem is that Twitter doesn't verify consistently, but it's is still an important feature, e.g. Imagine the mischief that could be caused if there was no way to tell which of several accounts was the real Donald Trump.

If Snap were to start charging tomorrow, what would their value ad / sales pitch be?

The original reason people used Snap was ephemeral communication with their friends. Snap can't "sell" that. If I buy the Snap App, and my friends aren't there then the app is useless to me. The smaller the network is, the less valuable it is to me - and if I do buy in, it then becomes my job to also convince my friends that Snap is worth is paying for. If one of my friends does not renew their subscription, the value of the service to me also declines. I don't think any social network can be viable by subscription - the most valuable part of a social network is the network, and the under a subscription fee, "Snap" would always have to choose between making the network for valuable and generating revenue.

Thats why the ad model works so well for social networks. The more people you have, the more attractive it is to consumers as well as advertisers. This is different from something like a news publisher - the amount of people also reading from that same publisher doesn't affect my enjoyment of their content.

Just use the Do Not Disturb feature on iOS
Blocklist plus (app) on android totally solves this problem. Anything from either an unknown number or from something not in your address book gets routed directly to voicemail (doesnt even show up on your screen).

I have a virtual secretary that came with the phone service. It called voice mail. I don't take unknown calls these days unless I expect them. If they are serious talking to me, they will leave a message. I will simply call them back as needed.

Occasions I took unknown calls were all scams, and these days, it just won't worth the hassle of dealing with them.

What frustrate me the most is when I call them back, it's not a direct line, and/or when the person doesn't answer yet their voice mail is not activated so I can't leave a message.

You see how the market goes up, but you do not believe on it again. Or the sunk cost fallacy...or risk aversion with an overestimation of risk.

How can it be better when it fails randomly and we don't even understand how it works? Where I come from, that's the worst kind of software.
Because it's "backup" hardware. Like a lot of insurance, it's often just a false sense of security.

It would be interesting to run a datacenter completely on batteries that are charged from solar + the grid + gas generators. You could run the generators at optimal power output and use them daily. The batteries required for ~24-48 hours might still be too expensive to make this possible. Maybe some kind of super low power datacenter could pull this off. One day it shall be mine.

Of course I can, not because I am Chinese, but they really do look different. How can you NOT see the difference? Also they have different meanings.

Edit:
Here is one that’s really hard to recognize especially in handwritings and often written wrong if not careful.

已 vs 己

This puzzles many Chinese people...

Can you spot the difference?
已 has to do with time (stopped)
己 is self

So 自己 is me/self, while 已經 means already.

There is also 巳, which is ancient Chinese clock means 9-11am I believe.

Perhaps at some point you will travel into the past and do the nasty in the pasty with one of your ancestors, and that past nastification results in you being your own ancestor. That is known to be capable of causing one to have a mind that works differently from that of the rest of humanity.

I like to answer the phone, say “please hold” then put my headphones up to the phone. This is great because it triggers whatever automated system they have to get active callers on the line, and wastes the time of a real human, who might realize what’s going on and prevent the system from calling my number again to begin with.
So I have a feeling that he's looking at the wrong histogram. If you plot the distributions of the vector magnitudes, you'll get a spike around whatever large number, and a very sharp falloff to the right and left.

However, it's not a "bubble" in the intuitive sense. He's looking at the magnitude distribution of dots over the entire space, and implicitly using the Cartesian coordinate system (discarded angle, looking at just magnitude).

If you look at the distribution of dots per volume (or R^N hyper-volume rather), then you'll still have the highest concentration in the center, with no "bubble".
STARKs are proofs of knowledge (it's in the name: Succinct Transparent ARguments of Knowledge). Sure, the fibonacci example is a bit useless, because anyone can compute that easily.

My biggest frustration with Han unification is that on my phone Japanese text appears with Chinese variants and there's no way to correct this without rooting the phone or setting the system language to Japanese (both kind of a lot of work to get something working that should just work out of the box). People say "well, what's the big deal? You can read it anyway," but think about how you'd feel if English text randomly had Cyrillic or Greek equivalents mixed in with the Latin letters and see how you'd feel.

How would seeing this content actually be harmful to a toddler (1 - ~3 years old?)

I'm not a child psychologist so I may be wrong but I think you need a certain awareness of cultural norms to be disturbed by deviations from those norms, and toddlers might not even recognize what they're looking at, much less know that it's wrong, or why. I suspect these particular videos are more meant to disturb parents than kids.

We can barely understand existing machine learning systems, what makes you think that we will understand those that run a global bureaucracy?
I don't think you're being unimaginative, you're asking good questions.

There are a two things which are orthogonal here, one is capturing what might be called 'fractional GDP' from available workers. Basically that is ways in which people are creating an easy way for an individual worker to work or not work based by creating a disintermediated interface between the service users and the service providers. The 'App' economy, the 'Gig' economy, what ever you call it, it tries to create a lightly held employment relationship between service provider and client in the form of an application and a payment provider.

The second thing is whether or not there is enough value in a telephone answering service that it can be successfully monetized. That is an operational efficiency question which would depend on some research into the hows and whats of implementing such a service. Customers for such a service go from the rich and famous who might go so far as to hire a staff member to screen their calls, to someone who has never considered it. Using existing infrastructure and full time staff clearly hits a minimum cost point, and then folks like the author of the essay don't get enough value to hire the service at the rates they need to charge.

Bottom line is if the service can be restructured in such a way to be additionally more efficient such that you can capture the low end of the market and perhaps serve the upper end at a better rate. If you can that is a business.
That's probably the better option.

Sweating palms is a fear response. It's adrenaline and fight / flight. It's pathological, it interferes with his day to day life, and he deserves safe effective evidence based treatment.
Instead of ignoring those I usually answer and hang up to avoid the missed call notifications, clearing it, getting a VM notification a few second later, clearing that, then deleting it. Lately the callers have been calling right back too. It's really a lot of work. The worst thing is, I've had one false positive spam detection, it was from my bank and it was important, now I'm a little nervous to do the answer/hangup thing.
Which makes them easy to spot if you get a number from a far away area. The only calls I get from my phone's area code are misdials or spam, but my doctor's office stands out without a whitelist.

Step 3: Profit!

Seriously though, everyone has given very solid advice. As mentioned, the first thing you should do is consolidate all 401K accounts into a single IRA (or Roth IRA if you're hedging against much higher tax rates in the future).

Also, consider setting aside 10% of your IRA to play/learn/speculate with. By this I mean investing in funds or direct stocks in areas that you have an outside interest in (e.g. tech, clean energy, socially responsible, geographic region, etc). Due to your interests in this area outside of pure personal finance, you may be motivated to learn more about investing in general - which is always a good thing and will be more important as you begin to pull money out of your IRA during retirement.
Those characters are not unified. What the article is actually saying is that when Koreans write 刃 they place the short stroke in a difference place than the Japanese do (and users of traditional Chinese place it in still another).

more on-topic: I would really dislike coding on my phone. does not seem handy at all.
Yes, it's all shitty low bandwidth mobile phone voice codecs or VOIP stuff. Good old digital trunk lines (8 bit 8 ksample/sec mu-law -- the same as the .au file encoding, I think) sounded really quite good.
I'd qualify as a Gen Z or something.

I despise phone calls. They are blocking, synchronous, distracting, painful (having to hold a phone up in the cases I'm not at a desktop with a softphone and headset), I hate repeating myself whenever I need to read a password or username or email or anything (I have a non-.com email too, so many call centre people have literally zero idea what to make of this). Any time I have to make a call it's a multi-hour ordeal, repeating myself numerous times, on hold for half an hour or more. With phone: I don't know who you are, I don't know your number, I'm not going to verify anything until I can positively identify the caller first.

I've not had a landline before. My first ever phone in primary school was an Android. Where I am, it's not even possible to get an ancient legacy physical landline service - all available providers are transparently be VoIP (like Comcast).

My only experience with phone calls has been automated spammers and PagerDuty during an oncall outage. For personal, if it's important, email me, I reply in under 60 seconds from anywhere. I get push notifications. Not a single one (I cannot even think of _one_) of my friends like phone calls: I don't remember their numbers, they don't remember my numbers, we just message each other on Discord or Messenger or Hipchat or [...]. Most of them get actually quite pissed off if there's a standard voice call that isn't a life threatening emergency. Worst-case is iMessage/SMS.

For work purposes, if something is down, message me on Slack or something. I see your username and team, I can find what's wrong while replying. If you call me, it's a waste of time during a high priority outage if that.
> Here's what does work (in my experience): answer the call, but say nothing, heck, mute your phone mic if you have to. Just give them silence.

I don't get that many spam calls, but what I do when I get one varies from answering and immediately hanging up to doing what you suggested (which usually results in them disconnecting after about 5 seconds). Occasionally, I've done things like answering the call and snapping my fingers in the receiver instead of saying "hello" and that usually results in an immediate disconnect.

I'm not sure if any of those things have affected the volume of spam calls I receive though.
part of the difference is now a phone belongs to a person, whereas then it belonged to a house, or in the case of the scene you're talking about, an office. i can keep track of who matters and when to expect a call if all i have to think about is myself, but even with just a couple people living with me i can't just ignore a phone call. i don't know if one of the people i live with is expecting a call. and with phones tied to places instead of people, you get calls like, "have you heard from so and so?", or "is my kid at your place?", which would be really shitty for me to just ignore.

Most people use encryption in the following way for passwords: user provides input, input is hashed, hash is stored, future attempts to log in are hashed and compared. This is very secure. Server compromised? No problem, all they get is a bunch of hashed stuff. Hashing is the main business of a bureau of any sort of public data. That is the business in 2017. If personal data were kept as fuzzy hashes that required partial knowledge to decrypt, systems would be more robust and information would be better protected. It is not a new idea, just an oft overlooked one.

I think the bigger idea is that there should be a broader system of international mutual aid. We can't drag down our own labor standards because someone else's is terrible. We need to help raise them up. Only international cooperation can prevent us from accelerating in a race to the bottom.
I fail to see any actual advantage in the approach proposed by this article; it would have the exact same problems, or very similar ones, since, versioning or not, everything ultimately comes down to trusting the package's authors. Nobody can guarantee that they won't introduce breaking changes, specially by accident. Versions offer something that, at least, resembles a deterministic way to know what code one's actually shipping.

On another note, I always understood that using the latest version by default was sensible. For me, it means that, in a new project, one should start with the latest version of whatever third-party packages one wants to use. Once development actually gets underway, then the latest versions at that time should be pinned.
I don't think it does have a story. Things happen in it, sure, but not for a reason. In one skit, the bad guys bring a tiny shark, then enlarge it with a magic wand. At first, it chases them in a pool, but after they get out, the shark flies after them. The shark eats punch and turns red. The Narrator says, "Red." They run into a room, and the shark phases through the wall. They run out of the room. They run outside, and the good guys shoot at the shark with guns. The shark changes color again. Finally, they shoot the shark with a wand, which changes it back again. This last part is the only part within the skit where something is stipulated, and then becomes relevant again. Every other time, something happens for no reason, and then that thing doesn't happen again.

In another skit, a girl want to play with all of the other kids. She tries to take away one child's toy, but he gets angry, and pushes her to the ground. She runs away, and finds her magic wand. The magic wand turns a red toy into an evil red ghost. The kids shoot at with guns until it pops. The magic wand creates a green ghost. The kids shoot it. Wand creates a pink ghost. The kids shoot it. Wand creates a yellow ghost. The kids shoot it. The girl runs away.

There's also no continuity or story between the skits. In one skit, the Joker sneaks into someone's house and kidnaps them. In another, he's a good guy, changing all of the watermelon into rainbow watermelon.
