> Uber didn't use any trade secrets from waymo, thats why waymo settled.

Waymo has plenty of motivation to settle if they could get adequate behavioral commitments in the settlement, even if they thought Uber had and had used Waymo trade secrets. We don't know here details of the behavioral commitments around preventing use of Waymo technology, but their existence was in the public release.

Given that, if Waymo wins the self-driving race, Uber is a likely customer and is a company Alphabet already owns a nice chunk of through GV, there is plenty of incentive to minimize cost to Uber as well as Waymo while mitigating any risk of Uber using Waymo tech. Dragging out the court process isn't in anyone's interest, whether or not Uber stole and used Waymo technology.
I don't have to climb faster than others, but I would like to peak in wealth and influence before I come up with my own ultimate plans. That will likely be around the age of 50 or 60.

We must all do our part to look out for others. I give away whatever I can afford to friends and family who are short on money. I accumulate relatively little compared to my earning potential. But I am also laying the groundwork to help others further down the road.

My influence comes from being born a straight white male to a wealthy family in a wealthy nation. I am educated and practice an in-demand vocation. I command a high wage on the labour market, and this allows me to accumulate capital faster than most people. A factory worker makes less than a third of what I do per hour. So I can make a larger impact than them.

Most people do not earn enough to accumulate any meaningful capital in their lifetime. I am more privileged than most, and of course, less privileged than others.
Currencies aren't intended to generate value. They're intended to be circulated. So long as people feel safe to circulate it, it can keep going forever.
Right.

NPM requires one to log in to NPM before pushing new versions of a package, to which control of a specific Github username has no bearing. And I know of no way to "link" an NPM library to a Github repo, publishing requires a local copy and an explicit action: https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/publishing-npm-packag...

And yes, NPM allowed name reuse, and that was bad, but that was a problem on NPM's side, not Github's side, because NPM is supposed to be a robust package repository and Github was just designed to be a lightweight social network for programmers.

Have you dated in a major metro within the last 2-3 years? It's a pissing match of who can care less so-as to not come off as needy and/or thirsty.

A large majority of the people I am meeting on these platforms/real life are serial daters and I'm just one random guy in a LOOONG string of encounters. You can literally tell who's new to the dating scene because their ideals haven't been crapped on 9/10 times anything happens - they don't have "war stories".

I can _absolutely_ understand why someone says that it's taxing "physically, mentally, and emotionally" because it absolutely is for a lot of people.

The number of hours of hands-on programming in a degree (probably only a couple of hundred a year) are too few for a graduate to learn anything but the basics.

illegal immigrants drive down wages in low skill jobs which depresses wages up the chain because natives have to find more skilled jobs to retain their previous standard of living.

At the same time their children, whether "dreamers" or native born get free education and healthcare the average cost per student in the US is around 15k the highest in the world, which these kids receive for free despite their parents never paying into the system.

The end result is that illegal immigration costs US federal and state governments 85-100 billion a year.

I support highly skilled labor ie top .1% of worldwide talent, not unlimited immigration sponsored by corporations to drive down wages for US citizens, whether that be low skilled manufacturing or software engineering

Ethereum had a presale of "premined" ether, with the maximum price of a presale ether costing about $0.50 USD:

https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/4522/what-was-t...

22 July to 5 August 2014: 2000 ETH = 1 BTC = 572-632 USD
6 August to 2 September 2014: 1999-1337 ETH = 1 BTC = 592-471 USD

Ethereum launch in review:

- Investment Prospectus:
https://github.com/ethereum/www/blob/master-postsale/src/ext...

- Premine Part I: Anyone can buy ETH in exchange for BTC for the next 42 days

- Premine Part II: On top of Premine Part I, +10% of the total ETH allocated during Premine Part I will be distributed to "early contributors"

- Premine Part III: On top of Premine Part I and Premine Part II, +10% of the total ETH allocated during Premine Part I will be distributed to the Ethereum Foundation

- The supply of ETH is uncapped and inflationary at a rate of +25% per year

- The premine is being conducted by "EthSuisse", a Swiss entity which will be prompty dissolved after the premining period ends. The Ethereum team makes no guarantee that development of Ethereum will continue after the dissolution of "EthSuisse"

- Regardless of how many BTCs are raised during the premine period, ~4000 BTC is explicitly reserved to pay for "Expenses incurred prior to and related to Genesis Sale". Translation: they are pocketing the first 4000-5000 BTC

> The Ethereum Platform is being developed primarily by a volunteer contributor team - many of whom will be receiving gifts of ETH in acknowledgement of their dedication - and will continue to be developed on a volunteer basis by some developers as well as under a more formalized contracting or employment relationship for other developers. The group of developers and other personnel that is now, or will be, employed by, or contracted with, Ethereum Switzerland GmbH ("EthSuisse") is termed the "Ethereum Team." EthSuisse will be liquidated shortly after creation of genesis block, and EthSuisse anticipates (but does not guarantee) that after it is dissolved the Ethereum Platform will continue to be developed by persons and entities who support Ethereum, including both volunteers and developers who are paid by nonprofit entities interested in supporting the Ethereum Platform.

People are certainly talking about excessive social media use whether FB likes it or not.

The goal of propaganda is not to make people think a certain way; it's to get people to act a certain way. Entertainment is centered around consumption, not interaction. If I can get people who dislike something to read entertaining articles about how it's bad instead of going out and protesting or canceling accounts, then I've successfully suppressed dissent.

The solution to Facebook was already spelled out in the article. There just wasn't a call to action.

Facebook’s revenue, for example, is almost entirely a function of the number of minutes the average user spends per week engaging with the service. Reducing this by even 5 to 10% — by tamping down or eliminating some of Facebook’s most addictive features — would have a disastrous impact on the quarterly earnings of this $500 billion company.

Just stop using it and it will die. I don't. Why can't you?
I was intrigued by the title of this post as I was looking for some nice django+d3 combinations for data viz but ... A hosted table with a bar chart? That's new.

I don't really see the audience for this. In the business world, no one will be willing to host their precious, sensitive data on some unknown server. For private use, I'd argue that one either creates a table programmatically in html or simply does it in excel if it's just something small. While we're on the topic of excel, I reckon one could recreate this app with VBA to look identical or near identical within less than 24h (possibly 3h-8h?).

Then comes the description itself - Stephen Few might get a small headache reading it:

> tables present all the actual data so readers feel more confident they’re seeing the source information.

As opposed to what, charts? What else do charts show if not "actual" data?

> Tables also allow you to rank items and show the relative magnitude of any item versus the rest.

Do charts not have exactly the same property? The relative magnitude of one item is easier seen in a well made chart than a table.

> Lastly, tables have a high information density: they allow you display a large amount of data in a limited space. Imagine the above table as a bar chart and how unwieldy that would be

The above table does in fact contain a bar chart. Doesn't seem so unwieldy to me. Charts, in my opinion, can have a much higher information density which is still comprehensible than tables - a scatter plot with 2 series each made of 1.000 items might be eye-opening if done right (and data has some trends etc.) - the same data displayed as a table, however, would take minutes/hours to digest.

Here’s a quote of the original birthday message containing these principles, which John sent out back when he turned 30:

IMO it’s important that #2 reads “Say nothing behind another's back you'd be unwilling to say, in exactly the same tone and language, to his face.” The shortened form that’s currently circulating doesn’t carry the full meaning.
It's still a bad idea not to pin your dependencies even if you trust the author.

Say you want to check out some older version of the code for bisecting, and it doesn't even build anymore because it worked with some version of the dependencies that was the latest years ago, good luck figuring out what commit they were all on at the time.

It's trivial to just update your own project to point to the latest upstream SHA-1s and commit that, this is why git's own facility to do this (submodules) pins you at specific upstream commits.
Sure, but the example served to illustrate which sacred values are left in secular Western societies.

If one's first urge is to then reply with "yes I would sell my child!" that only proves two, highly related, things. One, that this person completely missed the point. Two, that this person is apparently unable to get over themselves, since the discussion is clearly not about them, yet they somehow manage to interpret it in a way that is all about them.

What makes this more appealing than a web interface? Presumably you still need a service to manage the data, and deploying to labelers will be difficult.
You have good reason not to trust it or any device like it; proprietary software (which is always untrustworthy) + mic and/or camera + Internet connection equals spy device that doesn't respect your software freedom, pure and simple. You deserve to have as much control over your computers as you wish and no device like that will respect your privacy. The alleged convenience is highly overrated (everyone who has one has lived most of their lives without one and apparently been able to do just fine without) and, more importantly than any alleged convenience, not a good trade-off in light of paying with your freedom and privacy.

But the same can be said of the tracker devices residing in many pockets. Some call it a cell phone or mobile phone, but its primary job and the job it does most of the time is to geolocate or track itself. And a tracker's mic has no indicator when it's listening, or a way for the user to vet the captured data, or control where the captured data goes. Those trackers that also have cameras are even worse in this regard. And they all run non-free, user-subjugating, proprietary software. So none of them respect a user's software freedom or privacy. I suspect that those with user-unmodifiable batteries aren't truly ever off except for when all of the batteries run down. But most users never turn their trackers off anyhow, so that's a bit of a moot point.

What other freedoms can proprietors convince you to do away with in exchange for some minor convenience or possibly a little innumerate fear-baiting (such as "you'll want this tracker in the case of an emergency!").
I've always asked for hardware safeguards, and I wish more people would demand them. I want the camera & microphone on my laptops & desktops to get their electrical power THROUGH an in-series LED, so it simply doesn't matter how the decision to start watching/listening is made, the device can't be powered on without making the LED glow. No other source of power except thru the LED.

There would also be a hardware switch in the same series. Turn it off, and no power can reach the device, no matter what the software decides. Manufacturers could easily make the circuit testable, so if you tell the machine to start using its camera, it could test the circuit and tell you that the switch appeared to be turned off and show you a little diagram to help you find the switch in case you accidentally switched it off and didn't even know it was there.

Most manufacturers who claimed to have this feature would do it correctly, because they would have to assume that somebody would disassemble a unit and damage their reputations if they faked it.

I think software development is hard, but not because the subject matter is intrinsically difficult. (Sometimes it is, but usually that's not the primary reason.) It's hard because we've invented a mountain of little annoying problems with little annoying workarounds and it takes decades to learn most of them in any particular domain.

Right, so the author going awol would be a pretty big break off that trust right?

What about the author having their github account compromised? I agree that GitHub account names should not be released so quickly, but if you're seriously worried about that possibility then I'd think it's also wise to be worried about the possibility of upstream being compromised in other ways.
Same. I've personally ran into amazon delivery people lost in our apartment complex, badged them into the building, and walked them to where they should drop off packages.

Meanwhile, the same USPS guy has been coming here for 3 years.

And they handle congestion cleanly[1] which is one of the things I predicated you need if you didn't do 10-13Hz(along with smarter vis sets).

Every game is going to be unique and gameplay structure has a huge impact on your data rate. We had games back in '97 like Subspace[1] that handled hundreds of players in the days of dial-up and 200ms+ pings. Generally if your data rate per-link goes above 10kb/sec you'll start to see degradation of jitter across your userbase. There's smart ways to handle that but if you want to do a fixed-tick you run up against that limit really quickly.

[edit]

Other games will do smart things to keep skill high and tick rates low. CS(but not CS:Go that I know of) used to famously rewind time based on your latency so your view of the world was accurate, but lead to fun behaviors like rubberbanding as you got shot around a corner(due to movement speed slowing down at that past point in time and the game having to reconcile it with the current timestamp).
