If they really had any principle they would take a similar stance against the Sinclair/Tribune merger. But they won't.

Because Sinclair is a conservative new outlet. It has somewhat similar opinion on politics that the WSJ has. It has said nothing and most likely favors the Sinclair merger. It opposes Facebook/Google duopoly. Why the inconsistency? Because the WSJ sees the F/G duopoly supporting political opinions it does not like.

I'm not really asking, the answer is obvious. It's because the WSJ editorial section actually has no real principle or integrity on this issue.
It's not like the concept is very complicated. As soon as stuff like this goes open source/distributed, the model falls apart. The Linuxification of everything will destroy the world as we know it

If smaller players do not want to comply with EU regulations, it's fine with me (I hope I got your point, but I'm not sure). If you want to do business in a place, you have to follow the local regulations. I don't see the problem there.

I get that regulations make it more difficult for companies to enter a market, but if that means more protection for the user privacy (in this specific case), I cannot see how that could be a problem.

The fact that the EU might have more data protection than, say, the US, could also be an added value to a service. Case in point: protonmail. It's not EU-based, but they use Swiss privacy regulations as a selling point. Some people are willing to pay more for that.

One of the ideas I heard people at Dynamicland mention is to have Realtalk project highlights over the dependencies (this would be possible because Realktalk is self hosting, all the code that runs Realtalk is printed on paper)

In practice, when I wanted to see how something worked, I would just ask somebody in the room and get pointed to where the dependency was.

Another great way to impress employers (and in some ways much simpler): write blog posts about what you've read, learned or done. Even if it's on a current employer's blog.

There's something to be said for being wary of browser makers influencing the web unduly, which we already see to a much greater and more damaging degree from IE/Microsoft and Chrome/Google; but mixing user-agent policy with transport neutrality only serves to muddy the water around the very important and really quite straightforward issue of IP endpoint neutrality for ISPs.

They are two separate, important issues, but confusing them serves no one.

> how analytic philosophy is the only real philosophy

Which is especially damning when analytic philosophy seems to be stuck in an ossified understanding of logic and the kind of rigorous arguments used in mathematics.

A response to analytic philosophy from mathematics can be found in Synthetic Philosophy of Contemporary Mathematics [1]. I enjoyed the book quite a bit but I do have a math background so I don't know how accessible it is for a layperson or even a professional philosopher that isn't familiar with contemporary math. The philosophical arguments weren't hard to follow for me though and I'm by no means steeped in philosophy.

A response to analytic philosophy from contemporary logic can be found in the work of Jean-Yves Girard. In particular, the opposition of syntax/semantics is criticized. Girard prefers to treat proofs as mathematical objects in of themselves, i.e. realizability. See The Blind Spot [2] and if you read French, [3] is a non-technical explanation of his post-classical logical ideas.

Yeap this is what I meant, using 'put into' like "putting money into stocks". Good point about bitcoins that have never been exchanged.
This is complicated. In short, while in the U.S., you shouldn't get paid by your U.S. clients and the "work" you do should be along the lines of status meetings, not "productive" employment. Otherwise, you will need a work visa.

I am on the H1 visa and my wife is relying on her H4 EAD for work.
What are the options after H4 EAD is revoked (guessing sometime later next year for good)?

Thanks in advance and happy holidays,

It's the camera system. Another forum where I was reading about this has lots of military and ex-military pilot members, and they identified the make and model of the imaging equipment that was used. No one there seemed to question the validity of the video itself.

They are linked very closely, especially with a volatile market like crypto. Besides, the volume is 10x what it was when Novogratz unloaded $250M on a smaller market cap. A billion would certainly move the price, but it doesn't appear it would crash it.

I agree there are some people who may believe that they need the iMac Pro, even though they clearly do not. But these people are not the type of people who are building hackintoshes. If they are ready to spend $5000 on an Apple product, then they are likely going to buy it.
It seems like you are targeting those who want the iMac Pro but don't want to spend money, because the other potential target, those who need a workstation, are likely professionals that also don't want to build a hackintosh without a warranty, or without ECC etc.
In that case, you need to wonder what it is about the iMac Pro that those who don't want to spend money like about it. Maybe it's the design, or the status symbol, which are things your iHac Pro does not satisfy.
> I wonder how many unsolved problems there are out there with this problem.

Assuming that there are many, this has been to me a compelling reason why cultural diversity is important to a company/organization, for both social justice reasons and for the bottom line -- in terms of having people who can broaden the scope of your work and problem recognition.
Really appreciate your help on this.
Well it's not always inefficient to have a middleman (sometimes it's more efficient, like in my example above), so you can't say categorically either "with a middleman" or "without a middleman" is always better, i.e. "right."

Also, let's say we're looking at one of the times when the middleman is less efficient. Even if a customer wants to take on those inefficiencies on purpose, we can't judge that person as being "wrong" because they might have other reasons. It's more complicated, is all I was really trying to say.
can someone tell me something i've been wondering for a couple days now (considering taking the plunge and toying around with bitcoin): how fast can you execute trades on coinbase/gdax? obviously i'm asking if i could experiment with hft-esque strategies. is that possible or the clearing time too long?

note: on a very small scale (like ~100$ total "aum")
It's almost certainly a prop. At worst, a previously-used wallet that has since been emptied.
Not OP, but I find Hofstadter's later works are very accessible. Likewise I find much of Bertrand Russell's writing very easy to read, while not lacking in precision in the least.
That is trading volume, not liquidity. And we should be wary of the trading volume on bitcoin exchanges, a lot of it is manipulated. (In particular, I would never trust any numbers coming from Bitfinex)
I agree that it's definitely relevant. In theory, users can run any browser, so it's not a big issue. In practice, the web has become so complex that it's very hard to challenge established web browsers. I think we should push for simpler standards on the web, possibly "levels" of complexity. So you can have HTML-only compliant sites for which very simple HTML-only browsers suffice; sites and browsers that implement a minimum of javascript; and "full-featured" (i.e. bloated and full of adware+tracking).

This or some similar proposal could open up competitiveness and options in the browser space, which I think would go a long way toward solving some of these issues.

Not by a landslide. There's a reason it's called a "swing state." (and, regrettably, it's not because the kids dress up and go dancing...)

Let's be honest, that is a pretty closed-minded thing to say.

I respectfully disagree with your conclusion.

There isn't one company for internet searches and there isn't one provider for online video content. Why should there be just a handful of currencies?

I think the anti-net-neutrality people are running out of fresh, not yet discredited arguments.

In OSI model IIRC:

Application (software) is layer 7.

Physical connection is layer 1.

I am sure somebody will correct me.
Which is even more rare for when you need to deal with issues like environmental temperatures going over 800C.

The same argument applies to platinum: it has essential physical applications that are hard to replicate, so it will retain a high baseline value just on the merits of "we need it for essential hardware."

If a cryptocurrency manages to pull off the software equivalent of "essential engineering applications," then the conversation about cryptocurrencies will change dramatically. As it stands, blockchains will probably prove to be situationally useful, but blockchain =/= cryptocurrency.
Note that it's a thermal camera - the object is showing up as very hot compared to the background of the sky.

Also, the "halo" effect is an artifact of the imaging system I'm told.

Sunlight and air are inputs though. Most of what you take our of the system comes from changing H2O and CO2 from the air into a different form using energy from the sun.

There is the potential various micro nutrients, and minerals. However the vast majority of what the system needs is air and sunlight.
I’d prefer to be paid to be tracked. Eg the browser should send my wallet address as a signed header, and upon payment verification the delay (or any other penalty) lifted for 60 minutes

The thing that is rare is the total amount of mining nodes behind bitcoin. That is what you are buying into, is mindshare. Of course the mining nodes are mostly profit driven. If another coin had a higher profit margin, the miners would switch over to that coin.
Hi, author here.

Thank you for the comments!

I was originally trying to go for benchmark or spec comparison (which unfortunately there isn't much out yet for many of the iMac Pro components) without having to pick the same parts. Clearly I've missed some core components, and features and performance along with those for many workstation use cases.

I will definitely take your points in to the re-write of this article. I think you, and many of the others here have shown me a lot of what I missed in clarifying and in comparing. I really appreciate your passion and criticism!

Also, as far as the iMac (non-pro) goes, since that came out I've thought that has been a steal on pricing, especially for that screen (bought a 5k one last year).
You're not thinking about this from a game theory perspective.

Gold is rare in several senses: In addition to being a rare element, it is the most ductile metal, the most malleable metal, and one of the best conductors of heat and electricity. It is very stable and doesn't oxidize. It is easy to alloy and easy to refine back to pure state. It is one of three metals that naturally occurs in its elemental state. It is the easiest metal to work for jewelry and other purposes. It is also very dense.

All of these properties are what made gold valuable sociologically. Silver is nearly as easy to work and refine, but it is far more abundant and it also tarnishes easily, so it is two orders of magnitude less valuable.

Platinum is also far more abundant, but much harder to refine, which is the sole reason for its high price. It is also much harder to work, requiring much higher temperatures to melt. It is a far harder and tougher metal than gold, which is why it is often used for the crowns in which precious stones are set, and as a plating material for gold.

Bitcoin is just vapor, good for nothing in a practical sense. It doesn't even have attractive designs like paper money. Fiat money is susceptible to going to zero value; gold will never go to zero, even in some total societal collapse scenario.
One way they raise prices is artificial shortages and altering supply/demand in a way that favors them.

The only side that is really a "free market" is content advertising because they don't control all the levers of optimization... but it too will bite your ass and favor them in both marketing and publisher suffering.

On google search, they can invoke quality score, sort scoring, auction optimization and create a funnel/flow that advertisers must continually optimize against much to the favor of Google.

They also change their TOS to be beneficial to their algorithm all the time now. Take the recent 200% budget change, they can now spend 200% of your budget and they optimize this 200% spend over long(er) terms. Seems to be removing the human touch and favoring the algorithm.

They also optimize their CPA to be a black box. I recently switched to CPA because they told me to. What you learn the hard way is that their pricing is modeled in their favor and over averages/terms that benefit them. When you say you want a $1.00 CPA you're not protected against paying exponentially more than that... They even trick you by getting you to update google analytics with "smart actions" that only add bull crap as to what a CPA/conversion is - once again in their favor

All of this seems to just scare away the smaller buyers because they can't compete when industry pricing and averaging excludes them from being able to plan/budget and pay for advertising accordingly.

The only people with the pockets to play the game are the encumbered organizations that also do other trades with Google - such as large purchases of Google G! Suite, Large deals with Google cloud or their data/analytics services.

Login to google adwords, it says "hey switch to CPA" then eventually "hey, use smart campaigns" and sooner or later you can't even control the crap your buying because you can't block/filter/target anymore because the borg is doing it for you and oh btw, we spend your entire budget at 12:01 am sending you 1000 visitors a second even though its not an accelerated campaign and we doubled your budget and we told you to reach more visitors to add more to your budget. Oh, did we not tell you that we weren't running your ads until you increased your budget and now that you increased it we're going to spend 200% more?

its crazy...

It wouldn't be so bad if these giants weren't trying to kill natural search and natural engagement so fast but they realize the only way they can grow is to monetize the entire funnel and the only people that can afford to do that are the giants..

I wish i could spend more on bing but it doesn't have the traffic mostly for what appears to be obsession for google. In the USA bing is great.. i've heard it sucks elsewhere, but i wish they could compete more.

I love to see software that is actually acting on behalf of the users running the code rather than companies serving it.

This does point to some problematic directions though.

If web standards were simpler and it were easier to build competing browsers (and/or if we could trust plugins more), then it wouldn't be much of a concern if some browsers choose to experiment with these kinds of protections.
