Clearly the CEO of reddit feels the mods of r/the_donald have done a reasonable job at policing their sub overall, despite having missed a handful of extremely lowly upvoted comments.

Do you suggest the AutoModerator filter for words like "hang", "kill", "shoot"? Why not implement that site wide? I'm sure that would go over well with the rest of reddit.

Reddit is a private organization that can obviously decide what they do or don't allow on their site.

That said I am still interested in if the images created by this technology are challenged legally. The adult actors created and released these videos with their consent (presumably), and the facial reconstruction of the celebrities are usually drawn from public sources (Facebook, Instagram, news articles).

Could they claim copyright on these videos? It's hard to argue that they aren't transformative.

Supposedly some are challenged on the grounds of defamation or slander, claiming that these images are falsely claiming that celebrities performed these sex acts. However, this seems like a very weak claim given that many of the places hosting these images are transparent about the fact that they are fabricated.

This specific application of the technology isn't something I care that much about, but I think it has the potential to set significant precedent about what sorts of derivative works are permissible with technology that can create fake media that is increasingly hard to distinguish from reality.

That is, in a sense, just calculus: Building a curve out of a huge number of straight segments is immediately comparable to the method of Riemann sums.

No, it's not just you. Spending half a day to interview because some higher up wanted "top tech talent" is beyond ridiculous. (Not average people that can still do the job, oh no, it HAS to be "TOP tech talent".) There is no reason why the interview should take more than 2-3 hours (and that's on the extreme side) where everyone involved just sits in the same room and takes notes.

I live in a top 10 city. I get about 50-75 cents per mile net before bonuses and whatnot. Now if you look it at a straight business this is terrible as the standard mile deduction is 53.5 cents per mile. So sometimes you technically lost money just by driving.

However, my car payment is fixed. I didn’t buy a new car for Uber. My marginal costs are quite low at about 5 cents/mile in gas and 12 cents/mile in extra wear and tear. My insurance difference is negligible because I don’t drive that much.

So I have coats of 20 cents and make between 30 and 55 cents per mile. This is especially good for taxes as I get to deduct 53.5 cents per mile even though my costs are much lower. So I net about $10/hour after expenses and taxes. That’s not bad for an extra 10-20 hours per week whenever I feel like it.

My arithmetic is certainly different than others as there’s lots of variables, but certainly not challenged with my math.

I think different people just value their time more. But having the option to make $10 whenever I have free time is better than watching tv or whatnot.

The CPU you compile on will probably not be the CPU your program runs on. If you know what CPU you're running on I guess you can just make assumptions about what features that chip supports, but it's much safer to use something like this to verify at runtime that you support avx or whatever features you need.

I would think it would be number 2.

People who are anxious/depressed can feel that there are very few options available to them with the trapped sensation increasing the urgency of the choice, so the limited paths that they do see could be presented with more certainty than someone who feels like there's a wealth of alternatives.
Since the pay gap is fair (in the sense that it's driven by personal preferences and experience), there are only two reasons to reduce it: 1) if you think it's going to cost you women drivers and 2) if you think that men are driving dangerously fast. Point 2 is something that Uber actually has enough data to assess and address, but the better motivation would be safety. Reducing the pay gap would be an ancillary benefit. As for point 1, I think the only option is education. Point out that pay increases with experience, and by how much. Maybe draw drivers' attention to more lucrative areas? Though I think that's contingent on experience as well. Beyond that, any attempt to address the pay gap seems unfair and, as fatjokes points out, possibly illegal.
Such trends may affect the big players, but for small emerging companies there is still much market share to gain from competitors.

3 is probably too few. People don't really pay that much attention to what you wear, I promise.

I usually wear my shirts twice and take them to the dry-cleaner after. I'll only go once if it's been a hot day or if the shirt has dirt/stains. Maybe 3 times if I didn't wear it all day.

Plus I have about 7 pairs of high-quality pants that work well in an office and are comfortable for weekends. Most shirts go with most pants. So I have like 70 outfits so it really doesn't feel limiting, especially if you add in a few sweaters, jackets, and shoes to bring the combinations way up.

I did the math on this once to figure out cost-per-wear of my shirts. I kept rough track of how many times I wore a favorite shirt of mine before tossing it. Roughly 100 times. The shirt was like $120. I paid about $0.75 per wear in drycleaning. So like $1.75/wear.

(I could wash and iron for myself to bring this way down to like $1/wear but I hate ironing so I just pay the drycleaner - I also could have gone another 50 or so wears but I spilled coffee on it and I could always see the stain even though nobody else could I'm sure.)

Compare that with a cheap H&M shirt I bought a few years ago for like $40 - I've worn it twice and don't look forward to wearing it again since it doesn't fit as well and is a bit too trendy in its style for me. Cost is like $20/wear. Save your money and buy higher-quality clothes :)
Who said anything about Hillary? Is the fact that Russia has and will continue to interfere with elections in American and around the world not troubling to you, regardless of party?
Apple's playbook is to launch with APIs for internal use and then, frequently, open them. Examples include iOS support for third-party apps, third-party access to a number of watchOS 2.0 APIs, and third-party access to iOS APIs such NFC, Touch ID, camera overlays, etc. etc. Apple is also ruthless about omitting features (copy/paste, anyone?) from 1.0 releases.

This is in contrast to hardware support, which has tended to contract (floppy drives, CD drives, Ethernet cables, USB jacks, iPhone headphone jack).

It also makes sense to many of us who have done platform development and/or supported public APIs.

I'd want more evidence before concluding that HomePod's initial limitations are an M.O rather than an MVP.
That exactly. Which is probably the same thing that several others have pointed out..
A 100$ shirt will have huge logos all over the place because the market segment it targets are people who can "just" afford it and want to signal other people who can't.
A 1000$ shirt will have little to no logos and will be distinguished only by "others" who can spend as much, because if you wear 1000$ shirts why would you care signalling to the person who can "just" afford 100$ shirts that you have so much more? You may care to signal this to other 1000$ shirt owners but then maybe you just don't care about signalling via clothing ;)

Thank you for sharing that story! It must be really amazing to hear storys from a Nobel laureate about working for other laureates like Fermi.
It's possible that whilst the universe is full of life, intelligent life is quite scarce. It could be we are the first in this Galaxy.

It could be that others have come and gone but never quite made it to space. Cave paintings go back 40,000 years. I'd say that displays a level of intelligence. Yet there was a significant period of time until we managed to develop agriculture (30,000 years), or writing (37,000 years).

At lot can happen during that time. In fact during these years humans could have died out many times, succumbed to the changing climate or disease.

But considering all this, you have to take into account that the universe consists of upwards of 2 trillion galaxies, at least as far as we can see. That's a lot of potential. But if we can never make contact, does it even matter if its there or not?

I think his point is that the mods of the sub have done their best to enforce the rules, despite missing a handful of very lowly upvoted comments here and there.

Thus "they" (the people who run the sub) have not broken any rules, just some bad actors which presumably would have been dealt with if their posts got more attention.

If random users making bad posts that almost no one notices in highly active subs constitutes a total subreddit ban, then all subs would end up banned.
> It's hard for authors to do this full-time without advertising. Who pays them if not users or advertisers? Hobbyists and amateur publishers are one thing, but people who do things and write about them full-time are searching for a way to support themselves.

This is just my opinion: but I think this is the so called "problem" that people need to not solve... medium keep talking about "how can we replace the ad model", and hey, maybe in "reporting" style content this is a legitimate problem, but going forward I don't see it applying to a lot of written content, people with insightful things to write about often have those insights because they do something other than writing for a living. Directly making monkey off literature in the traditional sense is not necessary - but making the literature can indirectly make you monkey by e.g improving your employment prospects if that's important to you, not to mention writing literature can be an enjoyable art form in itself.
"Furthermore, while Uber now allows riders to tip their drivers in-app, this did not become available until June 2017, which is outside the scope of our data. We do not believe that cash tips – which were possible before
in-app tipping – had a material impact on driver earnings."

The study did not have any actual tip data for drivers. Tipping was always an option in Uber before June 2017, it just became mandatory for the app to ask a user after each ride. I really think the study is missing some crucial data surrounding tips.

I think they need cheaper satellite products for both Nest and Nest Protect. $120 to $250 a pop for multiple identical smart products is overkill for everyone. This needs a master and slave sort of system.

From their web page I can't figure out how you'd use Nest thermostat in a home with two or three existing dumb thermostats. Buy two or three Nests? Really? $500 - $750? Umm no.

I love the assumption that all the free content is 'junk' and the paid content is somehow better. In my experience, it's the free stuff from hobbyists that's often better than the stuff printed by professional publications, since they care about the topic rather than meaningless clicks and ad analytics.

Because the thing is:

> But if you actually want to learn, to improve your mind, to improve your awareness and understanding of the world, you have to shell out.

I don't need to shell out anything. I can find perfectly good content from people that care for free, and I myself write perfectly good content for people that are interested in the topic and provide it for free.

The people that want good content don't need to pay for it, they can find for it free. And the people who don't care for good content now...

Probably weren't caring much for it in the past either. Do you really think the folks that read the tabloid papers (or the Daily Mail) wanted a super deep, thought provoking piece that questions every bit of their world view?

That the people who watch cable news shows or what not were going to pay for something from a professional organisation?

That wasn't going to happen, and it didn't. Instead, the people who wanted good content found they could get good content elsewhere, the ones who wanted mediocre content found they could get the same stuff elsewhere and the old media are left in a situation where they're really not the best at either of these things.
I was getting at cross-compilation, where you do know the CPU you're running on, but I see that this breaks down because the binaries can run on CPUs that support different features.
You're partially right – it can't be the same when you're adding/setting up the account for the first time, but when you're in and things have settled down you can switch it and have it the same.

In my experience, calling for building a "RESTfuL" API is shorthand for a service that is well designed, well documented, and has good tooling. I don't think I can name one service I've worked with that is truly "REST".

Your car payment is fixed, but you are likely to need to replace the car X months/years sooner if you put miles on it more rapidly. So the question isn't whether you need to spend extra on your current car because of Uber, its whether you'll need to spend more on future cars (i.e. buy one sooner)
Do you suppose I'd ask for help if I did not know that?
To add on the other comments, not only the machine where you compile is not the same as the one where you run your software, but consider the case where you want a software to run on as many CPUs as possible while still making use of advanced features where supported.

You'd tell the compiler "target a machine with <basic instruction set>", so it's not allowed to use advanced features like FMA because it can't assume they're supported. With this library, you'd check at run-time if FMA is supported, and then change functions accordingly.
I think the issue is solved (while still complex) with an event sourcing system.
The chances are really high that the users did not push / updated the number at the exact same time. (so they are at least 1ns apart, even when not it's not that bad).
So you can actually restore to a sane state by reapplying the log from scratch.

i.e. this is solved with CQRS and Event Sourcing and it probably works in like all databases.
It's quite complex but pretty reliable, I'm pretty sure that everybody already built at least a extremly simple append only event log.
What’s a non-data-based product?
That's #1 on my to-do list right now.

I just started sharing this around publicly today. I haven't been working on it for long, and just finished working out some major bugs on it last night. I wanted to know if this was something people liked and would use before spending a ton of time making themes.

The themes I have now are basically just general themes with no specific profession/purpose in mind. But yeah, I'll definitely be adding more themes in the coming days, some of which will be tailored to different professions.
You don't have to build this. There are tons of membership management plugins and platforms out there, pretty much all integrate with Stripe, and most of them will keep a mailchimp list in sync so you can easily send emails to just your paying members.

EDIT: I also hate the logic of "meh, fees don't matter, my revenue would be zero otherwise!!" It's not true (you have other cheaper alternatives), but even if it was, doesn't that mean you should be fine paying 99% in fees to platforms and credit cards and whoever else? After all, 1% is better than 0%!!!"

I've found that people that make broad generalizations tend to be saying things that aren't worth listening to, which makes sense.

Humans create logical groups, even if the members of those groups don't subscribe to the same logic. Makes life easier to communicate about. Everyone likes some specific form of dress (even if that form is "erratic and varied from day to day) and people make assumptions about others based on that.
I think that it would be hard for WireGuard to take over the VPN world. IPsec works virtually everywhere without any additional software. OpenVPN is easier to setup and have many mature clients for every platform, so if you require custom software, why would anyone choose something new, when you have proven and popular OpenVPN. I'm sure that WireGuard has some advantages, but I'm still skeptical.

That said, IPsec is astonishingly hard to setup and diagnose. Recently I installed strongswan on my server and Windows 10 is my client. I didn't figure out how to send intermediate letsencrypt certificate to Windows 10, it wasn't accepting connections without installing intermediate certificate as trusted and I tried very hard, I'm sure that strongswan configuration is correct (I put intermediate certificates into cacerts and it works on macOS). It's especially fun with very little and cryptic information from Windows 10. Now when connection was finally established, routes were not set properly. It turned out that configuring connection via GUI was not enough, I had to change some connection property via powershell script, so client would receive routes from server. Yes, VPN isn't very easy to setup, at least for casual use. But in the end it worked and I don't see any reason to switch.
Oh, definitely.
Thanks for your reply. That's actually not a bad idea for longer collaborations, I'll give it a shot when I'm in a larger project.
