What do you mean when you say success, progress or upwards?

Here's a hypothetical: If a person is moved from a situation where they have no money, but the food, services and mobility they need for a somewhat comfortable and stable life to a system of employment that is less stable and creates dependency on this employmenet is that progress? That person or family might have moved out of extreme poverty but is their situation improved?

I suppose my underlying point is a critique of how wealth and quality of life are connected. People in Cuba get $20 a month but they have have free healthcare and housing. I spend $20 a day and can't afford healthcare and worry every month about how I'm going to pay rent.

How much of the world is moving towards a situation where we're unable to see a doctor and hold down two or three jobs to make rent in a house we could never afford? Is this an upward trend?
Yes I have. Convolutional Nets work well for simpler cases. See [Yoon Kim 2014](https://arxiv.org/abs/1408.5882). FYI "Tagging" in NLP is more used for labelling individual words (verbs, nouns, pronouns, etc). "Classification" is a better keyword here.

At least Tesla has had Model S, 5-8 years before everyone else.

Also, Model 3 is already shipping. So it actually exists. Unlike this car. It's just that Tesla can't produce as many as it wanted due to certain battery production bottlenecks (so not even an issue with the rest of the car).
I'm guessing the difference comes down to failures they detect first, vs. failures you detect first. If they have a monitoring system that tells them something broke, they'll immediately go and fix it. If you tell them something broke, they'll have to go check. If you tell them something broke and they have a monitoring system that says it's fine, then you'll likely have problems.
Yes, that's basically how I started my tech career.
Most malls (at least here in the south) have lots of windows in the roof along the walkways, so maybe that light could be light piped into the living quarters. Sure, it's not windows, but it's natural light to help keep their spirits up.
It's super fancy-pants though, and literally across the street from a traditional mall (that seems to be doing just fine!)
I learned to hate malls in the same way.
> you shouldnt be able to 'hide' software

The original (4-clause) BSD license includes that.
However, the postal service doesn't retain a copy of the data it receives, nor does it even open or view said data.
total meltdown. sell on news event ...wow. I think a lot of people were buying in anticipation of getting an alt coin, which is not going to happen. Given that alt coins are falling now, this looks like just another capitulation event, with the fork cancellation being the trigger.
>> 150mph travel without slowdowns for congestion will cut travel time to less than half.

Yes, just as the shift to supersonic air travel radically reduced flying times.

>>If you want to drive manually, go to the track

"Take it to the track" has been chanted for decades. It has long been possible to build cars physically or electronically unable to break speed limits. No such product has ever been brought to market.

>>The trigger for outlawing manual driving in cities and on freeways will be the convenience factor.

No. The convenience of me parking my car 20feet from my door, being able to hop in and out of it without planning, is far more convenient than having to call a car via an app on my phone. The knowledge that I have a car available 24/7 cannot be replaced by a promised car delivered via a cellphone.

Driving is not hard. It isn't even remotely dangerous compared to many jobs (I'm wear camo to work). They will have to come up with something far better than a 0.01% decrease in my risk of dying before I trust Uber to get me to work each morning.

Counterpoint: Motorcycles are exponentially more dangerous than cars, yet they persist. Driving is not a purely rational act.
One strong headwind to this trend is fraud. Seller fraud is well-known, and payment systems have bent over backward to insure this, but buyer fraud is even more popular these days. It's easy to cheat a seller:

I'd like to see more intimate online shopping experiences involving at least a short (30s) video call between buyer and seller, at least for first-time customers. It would be particularly potent to make pleasant greetings, express joy at the opportunity to shop/serve, show the credit card on the video monitor, a photo-id, plus incidentals that give a sense for who you are. That way fraud only happens with full-blown identity theft, and now you have a good image of the thief to help the victim get relief, and you can even add the thief to a buyer blacklist. (Interestingly the video evidence format helps avoid the case where a seller blacklists people they "just don't like".)
Apple Will No Longer Be Developing CUPS Under the GPL
Exactly - appreciating this fact could help clear up other disputes in this thread. For STEM Ph.Ds you are really only a "student" for 1-2 years tops (when you actually take some classes) - after that, you are an entry-level employee. Your advisor is more of a boss than a teacher.
So why is it that we have so many wealthy people and so much wealth?
The phrase "disappointing story of slutshaming" is biased, with the underlying implication being that "slutshaming" is a bad thing that hurts our country. I personally don't see how having social standards on how to interact socially and sexually is a bad thing.

If a ripped 6'4" male model called himself @sexyengineer and posted pictures of him building things shirtless, I would roll my eyes and call his legitimacy into question. Doing the same to a woman isn't some sexist conspiracy.

Edit: To those downvoting me, can you please explain? I don't see the flaw in my logic.
In some ways we do. My understanding is that the political meaning of 'white people living south of the mason-dixon line' has remained far more stable (even before there was a masion-dixon line) than the definition of 'democrat' or 'republican'

But in America, it goes beyond where you live being predictive of how you vote; in America, in a real way, we give land votes; a person in a less populous state has dramatically more effect on the outcome of an election than a person in a more populous state.

(and then, of course, the obvious; we do have dramatically different laws in different states. )
Incredible how this person has been treated. Just indefensible.
I've had a wonderful experience with hetzner. The web UI isn't as slick as AWS/GCP/Azure and bandwidth is slow, but the actual machines with great and they're a fraction of the cost. For my workload, I got 20x (2000%) better price-performance than Google, which itself beat Amazon. Killer for R&D.
I'm not sure why this is getting downvoted.

WARC tooling is pretty terrible. I hack data and text for a living and working with WARC was extremely difficult compared to the simplicity of what I was trying to do. Something that would have taken me five minutes (extract body text) took me about 60 - 90 minutes because the first few libraries I tried didn't work easily.
Once upon a time, corporations were chartered, to better serve the public good. Our (USA) founding fathers suffered under the yoke of corporations (eg East India Company, Boston Tea Party) and were wise to limit their power.

Then some yahoo slipped in some legal precedent declaring corporations were legally natural persons, weaponizing the 14th amendment. And here we are today pretending that corporations are super persons, with more rights than actual people, but none of those profit sapping responsibilities.
The note states there was not enough consensus (only 30%) How much consensus would be quorum for this sort of shift? Making a hardfork is really a last resort. If we are trying to increase transaction capacity, is blocksize really the most efficient way to go about it (without screwing up the other aspects of BTC)?
Have you tried going to an independent vacuum cleaner sales/repair place and asking them to order it for you, and pay them the markup for the time and effort? Sure, it wouldn't be cheaper than Amazon, but if you want to support local business, it is an option (if you have such a place in your area).
Satoshi could be a whole building of people, we don't know who he was, and so it's not even clear what "authentic" would mean in his case.

Integrity of the message doesn't matter - if you see a message and it makes sense to you, then that is all that is necessary. You can agree or post a response to argue a point. If it's something stupid, what does it matter that it's signed? And if it is from "Satoshi Nakomoto", how naive would you be to actually trust that?

Another way to illustrate this - in the Bitcoin world it is best to assume all messages are spoofed and never trust signatures. Even a signed message can be fake, it could be a lie or it could be written under duress. The only solution is to not trust signatures.
Where I live it rains for 9 months out of the year (and is very hot 2 of the other months - we maybe get 1 month of nice outdoor weather a year). I'd much prefer an enclosed space. Though, let's be honest, I'd really prefer someone to just drop my purchases off at my doorstep so I don't have to deal with the weather at all.
No, because the postal service doesn't have access to read the contents of letters and parcels in transit. Not only do they not have access, but it is illegal for them to access the contents without a warrant.
Not really. You can have low income inequality through redistribution of wealth and still have massive differences in opportunity at birth based on other, non-monetary societal factors.
I don't know anything about this particular case, but it reminds me of a similar episode in 2015 against a South Korean Hearthstone player. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/witch-hunt-against-fake-fe...

Point 3 about the asymmetry of a prominent CEO spreading rumors without consequence is troubling.
No, it resolves uncertainty and lets the community move forward in a unified way. It also shows Bitcoin's resilience in the face of committed minorities who would try to take over its governance. In short, Bitcoin survived a coup d'état, achieving total victory over a rebellious group of powerful actors (CEOs mainly).
I'm not going to defend malls, but clearly there needs to be some kind of market place where people can encounter things they don't expect. We are already experiencing a media landscape with a filter bubble. Views become more narrow and extreme. You are going to need to have a place where you see things you think you wouldn't buy or want, otherwise your experience of world is going to get more narrow.
Maybe a recumbent bike. Maybe it's electric to help out. $2k vs $20k.
China Spreads Propaganda to U.S. On Facebook, a Platform It Bans at Home
The law correctly anticipates that teenagers would get it on. It did not anticipate that they would create and exchange explicit images of themselves. In retrospect, that's an obviously bad assumption, but it wasn't so obvious when photography required high cost/skills/turnaround time. It was assumed that photographer/exploiter and subject/victim were different.

Not sure how you fix it (other than to educate youth and setup technical blocks). I suspect in most cases that police, prosecutors, and other adults "apply common sense", but some prosecutors will do anything to get re-elected (a nude selfie doesn't necessarily ruin a teen's life, but a criminal conviction for it surely will).
Can't speak for thefalcon, but implementing Segwit (or any change) as a soft fork creates the possibility of an eventual chain re-org, as well as the possibility for non-upgraded miners to accidentally work on an invalid block. Soft forks have all the difficulties of hard forks (requiring 51% of hashing power to work), with those two additional disadvantages.

Chomsky's solution? Moar state !
This is not accurate. Currently they are paying between 1 and 7% on income, as the Paradise Papers document. If they re-patriated every bit of income to the U.S., they would owe an additional 35%. That brings the tax rate to 36-42% (actually slightly less since the 35% would be on the 99-93% remaining), and that's that.

What they then choose to do with the money after that, and what taxes individuals pay on their own investments, are not part of Apple's tax rate.

Also, good luck getting dividends taxed as normal income rather than capital gains!

My Younger Brother Can Access My iPhone X: Face ID Is Not Secure
"It totally works...except for A, B....oh yeah and C, but C kinda sucks....well D is awful too, you should never use D...."

So basically, he was right, and you weren't. There is no seamless 2-way interop, yes?
I really like the idea of this and other, similar products/services. I haven't used any of them since they don't seem to be exactly what I want.

What I really want is auto tagging and classification + semantic search. I don't even really want to have to save the page. I want this functionality on my browsing history.

Maybe some increased functionality for saving specific types of pages. If I save a recipe, I want the service to recognize that it's a recipe and put it in my 'cookbook'. With a consistent format, if possible. If I save a blog post, tag the topic, technology and language used.
Thank you for the links to the tildeverse!
Is this really that difficult for a small company to evade tax? I think you can do it
Good that it happened on the test stand instead of in a rocket! Hopefully they'll have good data on what failed and end up with an improved engine.
This will happen within 15-20 years? I don't think so. Maybe the self-driving tech will be there, but the infrastructure overhaul required to support these "high speed trains" would be massive and produce traffic delays in the existing system. Not to mention the cost of testing this at production-scale.
45% of households pay no income tax at all. I'm not saying taxes are fair or balanced or anything like that. I'm just responding to your claim that the tax code is progressive by a "very slim margin".

> It is a generally disappointing story of slutshaming.

Just to bring up a tangent - remember this: http://www.zdnet.com/article/when-software-offends-the-panty...

My question is; is there a double standard wrt sexualised personal projects?

There seems to be a contradiction in that sexual content by a man is seen as "hostile" or "unwelcoming" to women, but criticising a woman for producing sexual content is "slut-shaming"...
Yeah that won't work.

Cannabis industry doesn't like being tracked, and is pretty opposed to big corporate interests. At least here in California.

This could work for a corporate grow operation but that's about it.
Setting aside your rudeness and the sexist tone of your second paragraph, can you share any sources that support your opinion of the current trend in retail?
I haven't parented a teenager yet, but I remember doing all sorts of dumb shit myself. That's why I aim to teach my kid this stuff before he becomes a teenager ;)

That's what I feel is the hardest thing about parenting: coming to terms with the fact that you cannot guarantee nothing will ever happen to them. You have to try your very best, but there's no guarantee.

As for adults not really understanding these things, that's also an education problem. We can't just shrug and say that nobody really understands this, therefore educating people isn't really a solution.
Leave. You'll line up lots more clients, and if they want you badly, they can hire you back, as a consultant, at your given rate, on your time schedule.
You might be right. I'm not sure why I was downvoted for asking for a clarification.

In any case, it wasn't clear if he meant the average person or an average about wealth or income. Average could have meant a colloquial reference to the average person, or it could have been a misuse of the statistical term.

As a designer I must disagree with some of the arguments posted - the end user might not see a "difference", but ultimately he will have another experience - he just doenst know how it was supposed to look.

Typography is crucial to the appearance of a brand and to the voice of their communication, so having a font in a cdn change all it's weights that drastically _is_ a major problem for designs using it.

That said, as a programmer I can't disagree more with how the issue is raised and the tone towards the maintainers - and absolutely agree with them.

If you want to be sure that your assets will stay the same, point to a definite version of it that you have control of! If you do work for a client and CI compliance is important, license (!) and host those fonts.

Complaining to the author for changing his product is really far off when you've been using a free offer in the first place.
if the US actually cared more about preventing fatalities than "freedom" it'd regulate guns

Guns are regulated in the US. See: Gun Control Act of 1968, Volkmer-McClure Amendment, mandatory Instant Background Check for most gun purchases, etc.

That said, I don't understand your mindset. Why do you think that we'd want to "care more about preventing fatalities than 'freedom'"?

From where I'm standing, it seems that Freedom is the most fundamental principle of all. What's the point of living without freedom? Maybe you've heard the phrase "live free or die"? That's more than just some marketing slogan to a lot of people.

I run eigenstate.org (and the associated emails) using physical hardware in a colo. OpenBSD's OpenSMTPD makes it relatively easy to set up, although simpler spam filtering would be appreciated.
This guys seem to know nothing about economics. A company can be enticed with tax exemptions to setup shop there and in return help the count in many ways. The tip of the iceberg is employment, talent generation and the surrounding areas where the office is placed.
If you decide to turn down the new job(s), you could ask them if they will top
the counteroffer. If they don't, well, you were going to turn them down
anyway.

Then: are you happy where you are? Will you be happy continuing in the same
setting and in the same role doing the same tasks? (I would at my current
position, as I still have too many ideas left to try.) Or is it a good time
for a change in your environment and maybe see and learn something new and
fresh? (I was in such a position before, and I didn't realize at the time that
this was the case, so my changing jobs was just a lucky choice.)

One more thing. Do you earn enough for you not to care about finances? It
won't be long before you forget about how much you bring home, but if you
choose the job that's not satisfying, you'll feel it every day.
Because in reality, it leads to the bigger guy (America) bullying the smaller guys (middle east, central and south america, etc) in the name of making life better for Americans. Now that China is in the fray, and India to a lesser extent, Americans will start feeling the real cost of having such a high standard of living compared to others.
Yeah, I think I may have written that badly.

The temporal aspect is what makes it hard, but it's what I was trying to comment on. Wealth now and income later are effectively fungible, in todays world to a much greater extent than the past. This includes negative wealth (debt).
I'd agree there are parts of the Spectacles user experience that were nicely done, but I'd draw the line at "really well designed and functional" as you describe it. Each press of the button only recorded 10 seconds of video up to a max length of just 30 seconds, it could only store about 30 minutes total, the battery could only manage ~15 minutes of recording before dying, transferring HD clips via wifi was pretty awful...

The design, while about as good as we've seen for glasses with a camera strapped to them, still left a lot to be desired. Not everyone is going to want such a giant plastic pair of sunglasses on their face either, and the yellow camera ring wasn't exactly subtle.

Some interesting ideas in there for sure, and I'd genuinely be interested to see what future revisions may/might have looked like, but as it is today it has a long ways to go before I'd call it both "well designed and functional". I'm not surprised in the least this fizzled out once the pretty nicely done viral marketing campaign with the vending machines ended.

The 'circular' recording/playback format for the video that meant every recording worked in either landscape or portrait was really nice though. It was especially neat how one could alter the viewing format while the video played by rotating the phone, almost as if exposing a rectangular portion of the underlying circle. The charging case was also a nice touch.
I highly doubt there is some hereditary trait that makes Asians better at running factories than those other countries. It's more likely that given the tremendous amount of manufacturing that's been pushed to those countries, they have had ample practice to become leaders at the process.

If you look holistically at what happened, you're more likely to find why so much moved to Asia. Geographically speaking there may have been closer low-wage countries, but distance alone does not determine where you can build appropriate facilities.

Geologically, China has access to large ports, allowing large amounts of tonnage to flow in and out. You have a generally easy path from China to California. Eastern Europe is out because you can't easily ship to and from. Similarly, jungles and mountains in Latin/South America and Africa keep large manufacturing bases from being built. Africa lacks sufficient ports - its largest ships 1/10 the tonnage that Shanghai does.

At a local political level, you have governments willing to subsidize manufacturing and tolerate certain working conditions that other governments wouldn't.
From an international perspective, you have incentives to bring capitalism to the borders of previous socialist countries as a destabilization measure (large increases in US-China trade in the 80s).
Related, with emphasis in original:

> Determining whether a given predicate has a set of valuations for its variables which make it true is an NP-complete problem; actually finding the set of valuations is an NP-hard problem. Therefore, overload resolution in C# 3.0 is at the very least NP-hard. There is no known polynomial-time algorithm for any NP-complete or NP-hard problem and it is widely believed that there is none to be found, though that conjecture has yet to be proven. So our dream of fast lambda type analysis in C# 3.0 is almost certainly doomed, at least as long as we have the current rules for overload resolution.
