One commonality across a few different mental health disorders is that an individual can have a set of irrational thoughts that they believe to be true. Knowing that a thought is just a thought and our thoughts are often not an accurate reflection of reality is a conclusion you can come to through conversation alone. Being able to recognize an irrational thought and label it as irrational or incorrect may help.

Another possibility is that you can have thoughts which are absolutely reflective of reality but which are causing you distress. These thoughts are not at all useful to your well being, yet you are spending an inordinate amount of time thinking about them anyway. Learning how to become more aware of these thought patterns and how to steer away from them in to more useful thought patterns will help improve your well being over time.

The key in both of these scenarios is learning how to be more aware of your own thoughts and feelings and manage them appropriately.
I think this wasn’t really news for most people, it’s been taken as granted among my friends that you DON’T update an older iPhone in order to keep it in good shape. If this news had been released an year ago I’d have thought it is just capitalism 101, maximize profits. But there are software failures among all latest Apple platforms, OSX High Sierra is terrible on my 2yo MacBook Pro, I can’t think that is also intended for profit maximization. Looking forward to the conclusion.

Here’s what I don’t understand. You can exchange bitcoins for fiat currency. But afaik you can’t exchange USDT for fiat. So why is anyone willing to take the risk of holding on to USDT? Why are any exchanges even willing to touch it?
It saddens my that Adams blog has devolved into this. While this post has some good points, he hitches it to a partisan wagon so strongly that it's hard to take without feeling like the whole point is to try to persuade you instead of educate you, which makes it feel kind of gross.

The rest of the blog is some mix of how to persuade people (including a reading list for help on that, with his own book included), and more opining on current political events.
Then they need to step up and start influencing Trump. You can't wait until the next election. That fool might get re-elected.
>Stop guessing. Go talk to your doctor.

Your doctor will also guess. There are about 20 drug treatments and a dozen or so talk therapies that are all about equally effective at treating depression and anxiety. We have no evidence-based way of figuring out which treatment will work better for which patient. It's a total crapshoot, even for psychiatrists.

Anecdotally, escitalopram worked for you. A thirty second Google search will turn up hundreds of anecdotal reports saying that escitalopram is worse than the devil incarnate. The evidence says that it's no better or worse than a laundry-list of other treatments. You got lucky.

With that said, talking to your doctor is a sensible decision.

But it would probably have more weight if you didn't compare Trump and Putin with the systems that systematically tortured and killed millions of people.

And for the record: I'm no big Trump fan.

Thank you very much for the clear explanation for MCTS Vs. vanilla policy gradient

>In vanilla policy gradient, one plays the game to the end and then bumps the probability of all actions taken by the agent up (if AlphaGo won) or down (if it lost). This is very slow because there ~150 moves in an expert game, and we do not know which moves caused decisive victory or loss - i.e. the problem of "long term credit assignment".

>I think about MCTS in the following way: suppose you have a perfect "simulator" for some reinforcement learning task you are trying to accomplish (i.e. real-world robot grasping for a cup). Then instead of trying to grasp the cup over and over again, you can just try/"plan" in simulation until you arrive at a motion plan that picks up the cup.
What is happening is that the court has decided law X is not consistent with law Y.

In the UK system, when this happens the courts can order Parliament to review law X to make amendments so the laws are consistent. The Government can choose to appeal this to a higher court or they can choose to amend the law. (Incidentally this differs from the US system in that the court doesn't say what the new law should be - but rather says that a section of the law is invalid in a certain way and must be changed - a job then left to the politicians).

No law has been disobeyed at all here - rather two perfectly valid laws have been created that are in disagreement, and the court is ordering that the disagreement be resolved in favour of one.
Bill Nye's reputation won't survive this. I used to love his show as a child, but I can't tolerate a man who would side with such wicked, deceitful people.
By baby seatbelt, do you mean the tethering restraint that tethers the infant to an adult? AFAIU, American domestic airlines won't provide those tethering devices as there's a difference of opinion on efficacy in the global industry. Some international airlines provide them, but arguably they're largely a feelgood measure and perhaps outright dangerous. (Which is better, smashing into the ceiling or being violently whipped around at the waist?) Which isn't to say we haven't used them on international flights, even when we had a baby seat ;)

FWIW, this 4-point harness worked well for us the last time we traveled, when our kid was about 2: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012E4FV8/

It's FAA approved and no airline will give you trouble for using it. I think some airlines (international if not domestic) provide this if you give them a heads-up during check-in, but it's less hassle to bring your own.
The Education Apocalypse: What Happened and How to Survive It
You're missing the point, OP is suggesting that Tether isn't really backed by USD. So instead of trading something backed by USD for BTC, they're just creating worthless IOUs and buying BTC (typically bidding it up on down days). It smells a lot like fraud.

The other advantage of the UK system is that when the government comes up with some dumb new idea to abrogate human rights for people born on Tuesdays or whatever, the public debate is couched as "is this really a good idea?"

In the US it gets hung up on "is this constitutional?", which sort of misses an important point.

They’re earning fees from uninformed buyers coming from a community with an ideological aversion to governments. The first part makes it profitable. The last means the risk of their reporting you to the proper authorities is slim.
I haven't seen that yet. My new street was added within a few hours. I've been able to suggest edits to locations and have them updated instantly too. Might help that I'm a "local guide" whatever that means.
That's pretty cool. I grew up with Kaiser, going to the one-stop-shop hospital in my youth. I didn't think much of it, it was icky and grey.

It wasn't until adulthood and having to navigate the fragmented world we have now, I realize how nice that was.

That and it was cheap(ish)!
Ok, so when do we stop with the, "well they do it" arguments and step up? At some point, someone needs to act like an adult in politics.
Second that. I was covered by Kaiser for more than 10 years. It really is a great provider. You just show up to a clinic and everything is there - all the specialists, doctors, labs all under one roof. They have all the records already, everyone in the chain can see each others notes, lab results etc.

Yeah with my plan I don't have access to outside doctors, so far however I didn't need them.

There's no way to tell if it's bad UI given the publicly available information. We'd need to see the whole flow (including confirmation steps), as well as know something about how the employees were trained on this interface.
It lets the exchanges avoid dealing with USD, which they believe (IMO wrongly, but hey) exempts them from know-your-customer laws. A lot of Coinbase's customer service issues stem from KYC laws and the verification it requires.

Some of them are being very squirrely with their users, telling you your "USD" balance which is actually USDT.

Some may believe it's a fraud, but be happy to benefit from the apparent boost it's giving cryptocurrency values and think they're safe enough if it collapses.
> They’re complicated and stand to harm mostly those who inflicted it on themselves

They're about as "inflicted on yourself" as most fraud is. You could say that a grandma getting scammed by a person pretending to be a government official[0] also brought it on herself, and so did the guy scammed by an insurance MLM. The truth is, there's enough of buzz around cryptocurrencies that it starts to impact regular citizens[1]. It's becoming a public issue, and so it's a perfect moment for the government to step in and start dealing with the fraudlent part of the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Bottom one is CGI + deepfake, as far as I understand. I don't see how it could be otherwise.

They basically just ran the algorithm on the existing movie scene.

The result is a fairly plausible Carrie Fisher, made more plausible (to my eyes) with deepfake. Obviously it helps that someone already made the original fake Carrie Fisher, because deepfake had to do less work, but it highlights the fact that deepfake could be useful in the industry: Make a plausible CGI version, and then improve it with deepfake.
I think the recent Volkswagen Emissions scandal have illustrated how, in the extreme case, it's actually pretty damn important to be in tune with the so called big picture of whatever institution or entity you're operating under.

A lot of exchanges don't give you the choice and just give you Tether when you sell Bitcoin. What are the odds that a lot of people don't know the difference between USDT and USD?
I'm being 100% pedantic here (I fully agree tethers are ridiculously shady) but if tether one day rises to 1.05 USD, and the tether company then sells more for BTC to bring it back to 1.00 USD, and the tether company subsequently converts the BTC to USD, how is that fraud?

Germany is one of very few countries with a robust public insurance scheme which also allows private insurance, but I wouldn't expect that to last too much longer - there's a growing consensus (57.6% in a recent poll) around the idea that receiving faster or better care because you can pay more is fundamentally unfair.

People need the health care that they need. Unless we're talking about small things like your own private bed in a hospital, there's no room in a just society for a "basic service" which does not provide the best possible care.
> Also, bear in mind that correcting the "deeper planning and procedural problems" would introduce delays as well

No, it wouldn't, because those are problems that impact after an alert is issued, and whose existence caused delays in sending an all-clear. Resolving them won't effect the path prior to an alert, and would eliminate rather than introduce delays.

That profit for the hospitals and providers is often driven by waste. 20-30% of all procedures are not needed are done for the benefit of the facilities and provider. They do this because their contracts with the insurance carriers encourages this behavior as they are reimbursed on a fee for service schedule.

> Sure, but it pains me to see American securities regulators’ already-strapped budgets going after, almost alone, an international problem. Regulatory focus has an opportunity cost. More attention to cryptocurrencies means less to everything else.

True, but cryptocurrencies - especially now, with ICOs - move such absurd amount of money that they do become a big problem. And it probably won't take much effort from SEC to make the whole charade collapse everywhere, so it might be a pretty good investment of time after all.

> "Which works great, as long as those DSLs are complete, standardized, and mostly not leaky. In the spirit of your comment, I'll let you discover for yourself why that doesn't seem to happen."

Two reasons:

1. Computing is a relatively young field, and not all of the best practices have made it to the mainstream.

2. The quickest way to develop is to bolt additional code onto the side of a project rather than considering how the overall requirements for the software application may be better served by designing reusable helper functions and refactoring.

Also, I think you've dismissed Red a little too quickly. The GUI DSL is not the only factor that keeps the codebase compact. I'm using the word "compact" rather than "small" as I recognise that Red is still in its infancy, but with the word "compact" I'm trying to emphasise that Red does a lot with not a lot of code.

> "EDIT: As an aside, the Java 1.1 JVM was only about 15MB."

How big was the JCL (Java Class Library) at the same time? Also, 15MB for a VM on its own is not that impressive. Even Oracle have managed to make small (feature complete) VMs, for example:

https://blog.plan99.net/graal-truffle-134d8f28fb69

"The resulting runtimes have peak performance competitive with the best hand-tuned language-specific compilers on the market. For example, the TruffleJS engine which implements JavaScript is competitive with V8 in benchmarks."

"To give a feel for how easy it is to write these engines, TruffleJS is only about 80,000 lines of code compared to about 1.7 million for V8."

http://nirvdrum.com/2017/02/15/truffleruby-on-the-substrate-...

"The Substrate VM addresses those deficiencies by producing a static binary of a Truffle language runtime. It performs an extensive static analysis of the runtime, noting which classes and methods are used and stripping away the ones that are not. The AOT compiler then performs some up-front optimizations such as trivial method inlining and constructs the metadata necessary for Graal to perform its runtime optimizations. The final output is a version of the Truffle language interpreter fully compiled to native machine code; i.e., there is no Java bytecode anywhere. As an added benefit, the binary size is considerably smaller than the JVM’s because all the unused classes and methods are excluded."
Rather than needing to know the probable weight of 26 sheep and 10 goats is 7700kgs, you need to know by what margin of error it's probably over 5000kg. And you not only need to know the minimum age of 28 yrs, but also the probable age distribution of people with commercial boat licences, in both China and other countries. Along with knowing risk factors such as piracy rates in areas of the world where live sheep and goats are transported, you can combine all this info into a statistical model useful for actuarial purposes. Perhaps the exam question was searching for primary school kids to fast-track for a career in China's growing Insurance industry.

The whole point of USDT is to use on it exchanges that can't get USD on it. If you can hold USD, there's no need for tether, and there's no need to go the extra mile put your faith in a foreign corp that supposedly has to money to back it (buy risking your USD to buy them).

The Tether foundation itself isn't going to buy back the USDT because then it will just have to burn them because it no longer has the supposed dollar backing it.

> I am not in the least eager to see human translators replaced by inanimate machines. Indeed, the idea frightens and revolts me. To my mind, translation is an incredibly subtle art that draws constantly on one’s many years of experience in life, and on one’s creative imagination. If, some “fine” day, human translators were to become relics of the past, my respect for the human mind would be profoundly shaken, and the shock would leave me reeling with terrible confusion and immense, permanent sadness.

If (or more likely, "When") computers translate better than human, respect for the human mind should increase.
It's quite a tough problem to solve, way harder than manual translation which thousands of people have been doing for centuries.
More likely, the libraries will fall victim to the modern police-state attitude.

The protobuf package does provide an Equal function:

Because they're not claiming "We can maybe somehow come up with the money that the Tethers represent in the future." they're saying they have the money right now.

And again, you're missing the point that it doesn't seem like they are selling the USDT for anything, BTC or otherwise. They're just printing it and buying BTC with it.

EDIT:

That may seem like splitting hairs but the point is they aren't issuing them in exchange for value, they're just creating them and then using the value they supposedly have based to purchase BTC.

An analogy if you still don't understand the difference; it's the difference between buying a $50 Gift Certificate to a store with $50 USD or just printing one on my printer. One represents $50 USD that exist and were exchanged to buy it, and the other represents nothing.
Or perhaps to put that another way:

In a city with great public transport, lots of the person-miles are done on full trains, running back to back all rush hour, in a way that nothing else can really replace.

But for the system to be useful, it has to maintain reasonable frequencies until midnight, out to a lot of points. This results in a lot of vehicle-miles being done almost empty. But they are really essential.

It's the second class which maybe small automated vehicles could replace. Lots of cities only cover the first class, and wonder why so many rush-hour commuters don't use it...
