So, just like US in the early days?

Back in 1812, finished cotton textiles dominated British exports, accounting for about half of all trade revenues, the fruit of a half century of progress in mechanized mass production. Proportionate to GDP, the industry was about three times the size of the entire U.S. automobile sector today. High-speed textile manufacture was a highly advanced technology for its era, and Great Britain was as sensitive about sharing it as the United States is with advanced software and microprocessor breakthroughs. The British parliament legislated severe sanctions for transferring trade secrets, even prohibiting the emigration of skilled textile workers or machinists. But the Americans had no respect for British intellectual property protections. They had fought for independence to escape the mother country’s suffocating economic restrictions. In their eyes, British technology barriers were a pseudo-colonial ploy to force the United States to serve as a ready source of raw materials and as a captive market for low-end manufactures. While the first U.S. patent act, in 1790, specified that "any person or persons" could file a patent, it was changed in 1793 to make clear that only U.S. citizens could claim U.S. patent protection.

Well this was certainly enlightening. I've never lived in California before and I've only visited it infrequently, so for a moment there I was shocked to find out that coffee might actually give me cancer despite all the buzz proclaiming that it might lower your risk of various forms of cancer, lower your risk of diabetes, lower your risk of erectile dysfunction, lower your overall risk of all-cause mortality, etc.

No, turns out I'm fine. Well, very likely fine. I just happened to learn something new about California law. The road to hell truly is paved with good intentions.

Eno’s analogy is good PR, but makes no sense at all when you consider the rigidity of the technology involved, and the fact that it’s literally incapable of evolving new forms.[1]

In fact algorithmic music is exactly what it appears to be - the design of relatively trivial mechanistic automata that generate notes and/or sound.

[1] Yes, genetic algos have been used in algorithimc music. No, they haven’t been any more succesful aesthetically than other approaches - possibly because all algo approaches seem to have a simplistic view of the domain, and if you’re stuck in that local minimum it doesn’t matter which algos you use.
But, spread across multiple exchanges. I'm tempted to short some things (including Tether on Kraken), but I'm also concerned any exchange that USDT touches will be insolvent after the crash. Kraken seems to have limited exposure, compared to some others, but when the shit really hits the fan, it's unlikely to matter, as it'll take significant chunks of the market with it, maybe including some exchanges that don't touch USDT but that are playing a little loose with their reserves. I would expect a retreat to quality as it starts to unfold, so Coinbase will maybe do OK (though some think GDAX is involved, or at least complicit, in wash trades), but I suspect a lot of folks will just want out of crypto completely. So, USD will increase in value relative to all of the other trading pairs...and some will be left holding the bag, if they're HODL-or-die.
I never quite understood how tether is supposed to be pegged to the USD. If there is no liquidity in an exchange wouldn't the price just fluctuate with supply/demand. If people are wanting to buy them more than people trying to sell them, wouldn't the price just appreciate?

Also - who is sitting and holding all these tethers? There are 2.2 billion of them out there...

They could shut down machines for which it is an excessive risk; though honestly I don't think they should be privileged as customers go.
It's a good place to share information I guess. I would've liked it to be a bit more academic if I were to browse it more often. If you work in consulting etc., it's also a nice place to get updates on what people are doing, because everyone (over)shares so much.

Addiction is not just a chemical dependency. The context in which you use the substance matters. Your personality and past behavior matters. This friend, in particular, took partying to an extreme. Not one drink but twelve drinks and blackout situations. Not just drinks but drinking and drugs. A lot of people who do not know her history will innocently say something like "We're going to happy hour" or "Just have a drink, it is the holidays." She knows though that, for her, the likelihood of that one drink turning into passing out at 5AM after an all-night rager are dangerously high. This is why I say there is no such thing as a former addict, as you can throw everything away with just "one".

Thanks for your polite response and query. I see you are a longstanding user here and you were quite specific in your question.

- The answer is: it's the attitude itself which I consider equivalent.

Here again is the poster (direct unmodified and representative quote):

>Of course someone lives in my house. It is not news to anyone local. My address is on the map, and it's pretty obvious that someone lives here if you drive by and see it.

Here is my pretend quote for comparison:

>It's no secret that I'm a [Democrat/Republican] - You could get the same information just by asking.

If you don't see how this is literally the exact same attitude then you kind of need me to come up with scenarios.

Since you politely asked me to spell it out, what is your guess - what do I mean, why is it the same attitude exactly?

I appreciate your tone with me and if you will do me the courtesy of guessing what I mean then I can correct you if that is not what I meant. What's your most charitable guess, why did I mean that it is the same attitude?
Yeah, I feel like there's some projection going on with GP and those issues. Teenagers don't stress about mortgages or retirement.
As measured from where? CET is a pretty wide zone.

This study is so bad I don't know where to start. Apart from its small size, the other major things is there was no ibuprofen control or ibuprofen with codeine control. There is a vast difference in the effectiveness of ibuprofen over acetaminophen.

It is studies like this that have caused us Australians to lose access to OTC codeine this week.
I think what he means is that schooners specifically were made to be able to port/anchor in shallower waters than carracks and other long-haul oceangoing ships. Schooners were sometimes used in lakes and rivers as well.

But that's just what I think, based on extremely limited understanding of the material. Hopefully someone can clarify and/or correct me.
It's a good idea. However, it is incompatible with having the same time across a fairly large swathe of longitudes.

The benefits of having a common time such as CET/MEZ for most of continental Europe outweigh the nicety of having 12 noon correspond to the high point of the sun's arc in the sky.
This is all you need to know about Prop 65, from the article:

"The statute allows any private citizen to sue over an alleged violation. Last year, 681 settlements worth $25.6 million were reported to the California attorney general’s office. Attorneys’ fees and costs made up more than 75% of the total."

Funny you say that. I had to restrain myself from using that term. Technically, chaotic systems are only a subset of nonlinear systems. For example, solitons are nonlinear, but neither are they chaotic.
Turkey did that. The results so far are not promising as apparently more energy is used and people are complaining that they don't see the daylight in the winter as it's dark outside both when leaving home for work and coming back.

Will switch back to daylight saving as nobody is happy(Maybe except for the Energy minister who is the son in law of Erdogan and also runs energy companies).

edit:

here is a source, it's form a Turkish factchecking website: http://www.dogrulukpayi.com/bulten/kalici-yaz-saati-uygulama...

according to the reports, the effect on increase in consumption is inconclusive(there's an increase but not necessarily due to this) but public opinion polls shows that people want to go back to the daylight saving schedule with %66 majority and only %22 of the people like the permanent summer time.

here is a news article reporting that Turkey is ending the permanent summer time and going back to the daylight saving time at the end of the 2018: http://www.milliyet.com.tr/surekli-yaz-saati-uygulamasi-2018...

I guess you can use Google Translate to verify. The factchecking website also links to the actual reports.

>>What's the evidence that learning/adaptation happens in a positive direction in markets?

The superior economic growth rates seen in countries with more economic freedom.

There's also the work done by Andrew Lo showing markets adapt and learn:

http://mitsloan.mit.edu/newsroom/articles/why-financial-mark...

>>Also, the positive assertion that markets learn/adapt requires evidence more than the negative. The default assumption should be that the market changes randomly.

I don't see the basis of assuming markets change randomly. Markets are composed of individuals who adapt and learn, and in a free market, theory would suggest people will adapt to configurations that tend to be mutually beneficial.

The market process of profit and loss also rewards better utilizers of capital with more capital, and less effective utilizers with less, so one would expect the market to evolve to become more effective at utilizing capital.
Of course it's fine to respond, but people need to remain respectful. In a case like this, responding with an obvious moral judgment ("what you should have been doing") can't help, and is close to kicking someone when they're down.

I do appreciate that you've responded respectfully to some replies to your comments (elsewhere in the thread) which haven't been particularly respectful either.
Kidding aside, I was thinking rockets.

> Shouldn't one expect that the higher optimization level would push more performance?

But we don't always understand how optimisations and code generation techniques will perform in practice, without running it. Ideally we'd have a more formal understanding of the performance of real processors, but we don't.

Your optimisation could generate fewer instructions, but change some cache behaviour, for example. Or use instructions that are faster, but use different registers that changes register pressure and slows things down elsewhere.
I'm not entirely sure what you are asking here.

IndexedDB is subject to the same origin policy, so only javascript executed on my domain can access the data for my domain.

Writing your own can be a good way to learn a new language as well as a good introduction to html/css if you’re new to it. Also, if you write it yourself (again, for _simple_ use cases), it’ll do exactly what you need and no more. Evidently, a lot of people have found reasons to write their own, including the author of this one - hence the proliferation of simple static site generators.
The same can be said for gcc - basically, optimization heuristics are sometimes incorrect.
Incinerating likely isn't the best solution, however I've never looked into or studied the science behind it all..

Yes, it's headquartered in USA, all the executives are personally liable to USA laws (and not Chinese laws), and it actually is quite possible that they could be required to pursue American exceptionalism in regards to security issues, even if they weren't doing so yesterday.

I.e. an order (with due legal process) by USA government to not disclose that vulnerability to any Chinese companies would be possible and binding, but not the other way around. That's what being a USA company means, no matter where your sales are.

I might be wrong but iOS decided from the early days to separate safari and webview.

See, there’s your problem.

Wait, how?

The decision to ship the watch in an inoperable state is coercive.

optional?

Still, this is a dark pattern. Forcing the conversation represents an inductive stance. Going in blind, the user has to judge whether they should yes-to-death (at their own risk) a lengthy sequence of interview questions, to explore further, or attempt to reject the possibly optional activities, and feel the tug of a leash later on. The preferred behavior is obvious. Do you defy the preference? What ramifications will that have?

Unboxing it, you find there are strings attached, puppeting your actions.
Evidence for any of this?
I spent much of my teenage years playing video games, building/overclocking computers, flashing roms on my phones, and devouring wikipedia. my parents were concerned that I was spending too much time online but I'm glad they didn't try to intervene. I was learning tons and by the time I got to college pretty much everything in the CS degree was trivially easy for me (except some of the formal math stuff).

on the flip side, I am quite certain that most of my peers spent their hours primarily on youtube, facebook, and aim. they seemed to take pride in how little they understood the workings of their entertainment devices.

today I hear a lot of parents talking about how they are putting off getting a family computer/tablet for as long as possible and how they intend to severely limit screen time once they finally get one. it makes me sad to think that these children will miss out on all the great learning experiences I had with my computers, but I'm not sure the parents are necessarily wrong, especially with the current buzz around social media and mental health.

Poland also wanted to remove daylight savings time (the project was in the lower house) but ultimately it was rejected because all EU countries need to use the same time (DST). It seems Finland is taking it further...
This makes no sense to me - are you saying that without turning the clock, people in Turkey are incapable of going to work/sleep according to how much sunshine there is?

EDIT: To clarify, I'm just disagreeing with the idea that it's necessary to change the meaning of our clocks. Imagine if we started changing the meaning of weeks so that all national holidays would fall on weekends (so if it's Wednesday and tomorrow is a national holiday, we skip straight to Saturday) - it seems insane, but in essence, it would be the same thing.
I think there is actually a bigger danger with people summarily dismissing negative consequences of technology, and then just saying "it's no big deal" because it's been going on a long time.

Look at TV. Of course TV has many positives, but it's also another factor in people (at least Americans) becoming much more sedentary over the past 6-7 decades, which has been a large factor in the US obesity epidemic. It's a mistake to dismiss the negatives of TV just because we've gotten used to the fact that nearly everyone is so fat.

Similarly, with social media, forget about teenagers, as I think many people are able to see the huge negative effect it has on their own lives. The fact that we're becoming a society that constantly compares ourselves to the idealized versions of other people shouldn't allow us to dismiss the obvious negatives of those comparisons.
> Easy to pass any legislation that changes voting and threatens all the incumbents? Not without a HUGE push, which I don't see happening anytime soon but why not try?

Agreed. Open to ideas.
> Why spend billions in R&D?

Because it's profitable.

Once upon a time, Japan was perceived the way we currently perceive China : a land where cheap, flimsy knockoffs were produced. The first camera made by Canon (which is, today, the most popular camera manufacturers in many segments of photography, such as journalism) was a 100% copy of Leica designs. There was literally no innovation whatsoever, just copy of german engineering.

But once the corporations acquired the base know how, developed better quality control and started to gain popularity in the low end, they reinvested their money into R&D, and they now are one of the best brands of the market, cornering both the low end and the high end. Almost every single western camera brand died except for Leica, which survived mostly on selling brand recognition to people who have more money than sense (this is particularly true for the people who buy the idiotic non-rangefinder Leica camera that are actually made by Panasonic which are virtually identical to other panasonic lumix models and sold at a premium because there's a Leica badge).

Most well known japanese brands started like Canon.

I believe we're already starting to see the transition from 'eh, knockoff' to companies that are reinvesting in R&D in China and this is going to eat at all the markets previously corned by silicon valley giants. Good smartphones are already a commodity. I have the Honor 8, which is made by Huawei, who build their own system-on-chips like Apple and Samsung. It's still running as fast as it was on day one and I probably won't feel the need to change for something else as long as it keeps working. The only thing they need to improve on is the camera quality and if they can manage to rival top end smartphones in terms of cameras in the future they will lay waste upon Samsung. Apple might survive because like Leica they have a heavy contingent of people with more money than sense that are loyal to status symbols/veblen goods.
