When we do definitively roll back the fraudulent catastrophe that has been the multi-decade international War on Drugs, could we lock up some of its proponents? Punitive measures are almost always risible policy, but it might be fun to have just a few years' worth of payback.
Well, this whole thread is a glob of implausible proposals justified by implausible assumptions. "We'll eat no more meat or bananas!" "Because we won't burn any more oil!" "Because oil will be illegal!" "Because sustainability!"

This is all just silly. Credit to 'workthrowaway27 for responding in reasoned fashion, but that hasn't dissuaded any of the silly folk in their silliness. They suggest catastrophic changes to the lives of everyone on earth, and the reasons they offer are transparently based on personal psychological idiosyncrasies rather than on a practical understanding of reality. All of this tyrannical bullshit won't happen, not only because it shouldn't happen, but also because it can't possibly happen. One does admit it to be a lovely dream, because one understands that lots of people dream of denying the agency of other humans. This is an impulse to indulge in daydreams, not in the political sphere.
I actually agree, I'd be lying if I wouldn't leave a positive review if my spouse or friend wrote a book. Problem is the person above said "Yet FakeSpot [...] is completely wrong." and criticized Fakespot for pointing out the problematic reviews.

They say that everyone is a hero in their own story, and I think that applies here, you have good personal motivations (help a friend/spouse/family, etc) but ultimately what you're doing is no different from the consumer's perspective than the people that do this stuff professionally. It is just as immoral/misleading/dishonest.

They get upset with a service (Fakespot) which points out the bad behavior because it contrasts with their moral motivations for doing so. I think they need to re-examine right and wrong in this situation, Fakespot may not be the bad guy here.
> I didn’t mean that we need to tolerate brilliant homophobic jerks in the lab so that we can have scientific progress.

Well, Sam, you didn't say that.

Rather, the totalitarian left, exactly who the article was criticizing, sensed heresy and pounced, without any goodwill or thoughtfulness.

They did exactly what you implied they would do, and now you are apologizing for them doing it.

2017, everybody.
It said they would never be on the same teams etc. so maybe they believed her.

However if I was an employer just from liability sense would just just not hire the guy. I am sure they are plenty of other good applicants. If anything does happen that is an easy multi million dollar lawsuit. In all honesty I wouldn't want to hire her either. Just stay away from any possible issues.
I'd happily pay to use a Firefox that doesn't do this. There's the Mozilla monetization problem solved and upholds trust and supports more good development like 57.
"AppleClang" is some strange fork with some features (both compiler and library) omitted or broken. OpenMP, for example, is one thing I've been missing for a good while; I've not checked if that's now present with new releases. I can understand adding extra functionality to a fork, like Objective C and swift stuff, but dropping bits is strange.

It's due to issues like this that I do all our clang testing on FreeBSD, where it's a more vanilla build of the llvm codebase, and I treat AppleClang as a wholly separate compiler variant which requires independent testing.
This is where I answered most of the questions. I didn't even see that someone posted it here as well. Thanks!
Cmdr. Dave Fravor was one of the most squared away F/A-18 pilots in the Navy. He is not some conspiracy "nut" and if he says he saw something, I'd believe him. He is held in high regard by those who served with him.

There aren't marketing advantages in markets who have no other choice for ISP.
The biggest difficulty is tying components together.

There are a few methods:

1. Libraries linked by binaries.

This is the usual method, but it generally demands modules share some things, which usually couples them too tightly to their implementation.

2. IPC (Inter-Process Communication)

There are a few ways to accomplish this. Some are OS specific (named pipes), others are fairly generic (sockets). This requires modules to share a language, and has some overhead, but at least they aren't coupled.

3. Microkernel

Essentially the best points of 1 and 2, but generally a design challenge itself.

The biggest advantage to modular design is that you don't need to create all the modules before you get something useful.
you're debating who the victim should be.

Your whole argument is just trivially disprovable. Both trains and buses can be wheelchair accessible[1][2]. You don't need to lift the chair, you just roll it in, either up a slight incline in the case of buses or completely flat in the case of trains. No need for bystanders or station attendants to help.

> "If I'm Jewish and someone advocates for killing all the Jews, to me that is clearly a physical threat and potentiality assault."

Groups that do just that have governmental support in Canada, the UK and many other first world countries, and this is one of those things that one simply isn't allowed to speak of publicly.
"And not necessarily a monetary conflict if the recipient was indeed a billionaire."

I have never heard of a billionaire who said, he has enough money ...
It depends how you see the situation. Do you think it's closer to people acting irresponsibly, or closer to people getting scammed on a massive scale by institutions they trusted to provide good risk estimation? I'd go with 80% scam loans, where the scammers should lose the money and the scammed should get some kind of help. (Possibly not a full free repayment though - maybe maintaining the fixed introductory rate?) Because what kind of message are you sending otherwise? And how would more people in debt help the society at the moment?
Why was our solution to bail out the ones that caused the crisis and allow them to just get richer thereafter?

Sure, universal income and taxing the richest more, re-enacting glass-steagall is better I'm just saying in that situation it would have been more moral to just forgive mortgages than what we ended up doing.
Seq2Seq is kind of a standard, but also strikes me as pretty hacky. The network has an encoder and a decoder mode, reads until it finds an end of input signal, then switches to decode mode. This is how absolutely nothing works in nature.
I talked about Volta at the end of the post, but it’ll still be a bit for Volta/cuDNN 7 support is baked into the native Tensorflow/CNTK distributions.

Even if Volta has the speed advantages touted, I doubt P3s will be as cost-effective as a K80.

No, it wasn't. In fact, the exact opposite: he literally says "I hope it's clear that I'm not saying that ... we shouldn't try to correct for existing biases".

If I had a very finite number of wishes, I'd probably be strongly inclined to burn one of them on making people somehow meaningfully understand the distinction between "not guilty" and "innocent".
That's sweet! I personally also like maxima a lot with it's associated emacs mode and especially the neat imaxima interface which you can easily set up to display formulas in latex inside an emacs buffer. Check it out: https://sites.google.com/site/imaximaimath/
Simplest way to make this technically feasible is to switch from AC grid to DC grid, which is not exactly small change.

On the other hand running your whole house on 290-310V DC is surprisingly simple (in places with 230V mains) beacause most typical home devices either don't care at all or have SMPS which rectifies mains voltage to DC. Probably only large-ish home appliance that needs AC is european-style (two knobs and big transformer) microwave oven.
I was just reading a personal account of rape where it was claimed that most of her circle of friends had experienced rape at the hands of police, so possibly that's a good place to start.

Also, here's a couple of year old article that takes head on the question of how police deal with rape accusations. I can't recommend it enough, it won a Pulizter:

It's become so bad that F-Droid won't even distribute Firefox on Android any more. They have their own fork, called Fennec. It still has "Firefox accounts", Pocket (which can be turned off) and Sync.

Pocket is now an ad channel. There are Pocket "suggestions".
I later realized that padding to 32 bytes didn't make much of a difference, it is the number of vacuous NOP opcodes generated that matters. So it can be simplified to

mov rcx, 400000000-1
up:
nop
nop
nop
add [counter], rcx
nop
nop
nop
dec rcx
nop
nop
nop
jnz up
ret

which probably works fine for the majority of decoding methods, be it MITE, LSD, or DSB.
I think Stallman's website says more about Stallman's design sensibilities than it does about the ability of plain text to be readable or for search to be effective.
There's no doubt there's a kind of aura of ridicule around the subject of UFOs and I'm sure credible people don't want to be associated with it.

That being said, I think it's something worthy of exploration. My interest in the subject really began when I listen to people around me who saw and experienced things. It's one thing to read books or watch documentaries about UFOs, but it's another when normal "everyday people" who aren't interested in this kind of thing tell you their stories.

Wut? That's his website and he makes it however he likes. I haven't ever heard him telling people to make websites with default HTML layouts or not use interactivity or better search tools etc. WRT websites his opinions regard the tracking they force upon the users and the closed-source-ness of them. Maybe you should read things before you link them, eh?
Good, now the rest of the world needs to adopt this model. I understand some of the contempt towards drug addicts, but at the end of the day these people are sick in some way. We (Americans, and much of the world) have spent years demonizing anyone involved in drugs, and it has not turned out well in any measurable way.

If you want a healthy society, help society get healthy.
> It said they would never be on the same teams

Read further, near the end the article states that after a re-org, they ended up on the same team. As far as I’m concerned, that’s very poor form of Microsoft.
What if I allege you raped me?

Should you be unemployed for life now?

Due process is important. Raped women should press charges, there should be an investigation, the trial, and prison time.
I don’t believe that a police determination that this case would not be presecuted is a matter of opinion. The facts of why that decision was made is a very important fact that is relevant for me in how I feel about Microsofts actions.
“Hey Google” Voice Command Is Now Widely Rolling-Out in Google Assistant
Maybe that worked in the past, but these days, time and time again we see companies offering paid software and services with an extra layer of advertising on top. Old adages like "you're either a paying customer, or the one being sold" no longer apply, you can be a paying customer and sold for extra profit. Companies, by their nature, will try to maximize profits, and that translates to them using any means they can get away with.

That's my position as well. People and private organizations are free to ignore or exclude speech but it should never be criminalized.
Friends & family reviews do break the Amazon TOS, but Amazon has limited means available to detect it. Authors get more leeway for giving out free review copies than other categories do now.
But I don't think we've learned because people are still arguing over whether we should have just thrown the bankers in prison, like the system wouldn't just replace them with more bankers.

Yes it is far better to let the banks fail. Then the system replaces the bankers, with no cost to taxpayers!
After how they have locked down the marketplace to prevent malware this is really ironic.

But wow, this seems like an amazingly dumb move..!
I think that's the point, isn't it? This is one of those groups we felt somewhat confident with.
Yeah, these are all "message passing" algorithms, like belief propagation. The whole financial system itself is another good example of this.
If you rent from Hertz every month, the car is still just sitting in your driveway most of the time, so there is no efficiency increase.

If you Uber everywhere, you need to pay someone else to drive you around all the time, that wipes out any possible cost savings.

Get rid of the cost of the person driving you and it will almost certainly be cheaper to rent than buy unless you have a very high utilization rate for the car.
It is happening now in fairly large quantities.
What you need is any pool of securities that is devalued by more than the capital base of the company. It was the way that the post partnership, publicly traded investment banks were financed that ultimately led to their collapse. When you borrow short and lend long with 30X leverage you can never have a serious market correction. Otherwise your counterparties get nervous and their refusing to continue to lend becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Its not the first time we have seen this and it won't be the last.
Thank you for updating your comment.
I would in fact be happy if we could just have a simple VM and a low level rendering engine, let's say something like a WASM based VM (or even JS if we really have to), and WebGL or similar for rendering. Define a standard way to provide (or refuse) access to local and remote resources and leave all the rest (HTML, CSS, Web Workers, Audio Playback, Video Playback etc) as software running on the VM. This way you would not need a few GB of memory if you need only to display a wall of text and it would be easier both to share code between implementations and contribute software (as libraries ? plugins?) to the platform.
Mostly because it happened to me multiple times to buy something off Amazon, and later realize it was a different vendor when I tried to return stuff and the conditions are different.
To be fair: I'd expect Mr. Hamilton to be payed for his 40 races by exactly one company which is based in one location, rather than for each race by one of 40 companies.
There's also "unexplained aerial phenomena" as the generic cover for materials recovered from the secret research programs of other countries.
I don't see a ton of value in this. The main use case mentioned (preventing use of functions with wrong parameter order) can be worked around using the common 'options' object pattern that everyone uses for functions with a lot of parameters already

Still a neat feature I guess, but IMO it's not worth the additional mental overhead of implementing it.

A lot of problems in JS and it's typed derivatives go back to it's 'structural' type system where every object is a key-value collection and objects with the same keys and values are interchangeble.

I really wish the ES standard would just introduce a new variable type that has nominal typing and ditches the prototypical inheritence chain. You could only use it with new code but since transpilation is the norm these days that doesn't matter much
This isn't just a problem with Web standards. Think of how few complete implementations of C, C++, Python, Java there are.

So yeah the web is complex but so are most popular runtimes.
i love this so much
Technically, yes. But by full VM, I mean a parallel desktop/server system with permanent storage that you have to maintain in different ways to a temporary container. Same technologies, different user experience. Docker hides it by providing a nice layer on top.

Perhaps not targeted at children specifically but probably child friendly (PG?) I enjoyed the Great War series on YouTube. It is giving a week by week account of the events in WW1 as it happened 100 years ago. I haven’t kept up to date with it as it’s a serious commitment but it is a great concept.
I know nothing about the current state of military tech, but that looks like a targeting camera that has some sort of edge detection allowing it to track the object.

The vertical lines to the left and right of the object appear computer controlled, to me, especially because they track the left and right edges of the object and the vertical length changes in a way that seems reactive to the object on screen.

The brief moment where those lines don't have the object centered and then it just jumps back into place (at the very end of the video ~31-32s) screams computer assisted to me.

In short, I don't think that's manual tracking, because I'm pretty sure that even a Navy pilot would have trouble tracking it that perfectly by hand.
It's an Infrared camera video, taken from the Super Hornet's IRST system which can slave / gimbal independently of the aircraft's manoeuvring, hence why it's centred.
The comparison with linux distros isn't quite fair, as they are not full reimplementations of the same standard. They are are better compared with chromium based browsers, which are easy to create and of which there are many.

What do you suggest to do to make competition easy? We could throw out most of features, but then the resulting standard won't be useful, and almost no one will use it.
That's interesting and reminded me of Asimov's "The Billiard Ball":

Yes, basically. He took in money and gave people forged trade reports showing how much their investments had made. It’s the difference between a car salesman lying about the “180-point inspection” they put their used cars through and simply delivering you a set of tires instead of the car you paid for.

The aggregate impact of such conduct on the world economy is irrelevant to criminal prosecution of individuals. It’s antithetical to criminal law to punish people more harshly because unrelated other people happened to engage in the same wrongdoing.
Thanks :) I appreciate the work you do here.
That's right. It's simple to remember once you get the hang of it. 100% grade: every foot forward is one foot of climb, or every meter forward is one meter of rise. 10% grade: ten feet forward, one foot up, or ten meters forward, one meter up. 110% grade: one foot forward, 1.1 feet up, or one meter forward, 1.1 meters up. 6% grades are steep enough to earn warning signs, if you pay attention to signage in the mountains.

Sonora Pass, for example, has sections of 26% grade. That sounds immensely steep (and is, for driving), but it sounds more reasonable when you say "every 50 feet forward, you've climbed 13 feet." Solve the triangle, and that's 14.574°. If you've been over the Sonora Pass, you know that it feels like you're in a rocket climbing vertically at a couple points, and you might be surprised to learn that's only 14.6° of grade.

22nd Street in SF is over 31%, IIRC, and is one of the steepest streets I can think of.
They're out there folks
Servo? No. Firefox 57+, which is based on it? Yes. But that's completely besides the point here, because yeah, serving unwanted extensions - which aren't even remotely useful - is ... stupid. I allow experiments so Mozilla can test new things which will benefit others later. But I don't see any world where the Mr. Robot extension will benefit anyone.
Why open messages, though? You can paste quick calc results with ctrl y and they end up in messages none the less.
You sound sure that’s a fixed camera. Is it possible it’s on a turret and tracking a distant target?
Is there any good argument against this JSM piece? I've heard folks say that he was just one philosopher and other philosophers thought differently, but I've yet to hear an argument against this that I've found compelling.
It's a video from the Infrared Search and Track system, which is independently aimed, hence why it's always centred.
Everything here is hypothetical responding to anecdote. And vice-versa. I have enough life experience to build a rich (and often sorrow-ful) anecdote, but that's all it is.

It's interesting you choose to frame overwhelming dissent and anger at shady behavior as a 'mob'.

By summarily dismissing a bunch of legitimate concerns by multiple users you are basically saying users don't matter.

That kind of ivory tower attitude never worked well without leverage.
Here's another thing to consider. The brain is processing "video" in what we might call 3.5 dimensions. (2d images + time with around 6 channels... Plus sound). Image recognition with a CNN is working on still images, and dropping the time component entirely. RNNs are about handling sequential data, discrete or not...

Meanwhile, the hardware in our heads is far more complex and capable than the models we're building. And we're not even sure how that hardware works, or what principles we can abstract out and simplify. A neuron getting electrical and hormonal signals is far more complex than an lstm cell... Does it need to be? Or are there biological requirements built in which we don't understand? And how many evolutionary accidents which never evolved away?
Yes - let's criticize the 0.0036% portion of the budget that seems somewhat wasteful ;)
Me too. Reminded me of some of the post rock stuff done in the early 2000's.
