'Wikipedia Zero' is a zero-rating [1] scheme where many ISPs and network operators offered data access to certain Wikimedia sites (or just Wikipedia) at no metered-data cost to the line's subscriber.

Zero-rating's relationship with the broader subject of net neutrality has been hotly debated, and some legislation considers it a violation of net neutrality, while others don't. Nonetheless, fierce backlash against Facebook's zero-rating scheme in India was contrasted with Wikipedia's zero-rating which was broadly popular, exposing a dilemma.

By Wikimedia discontinuing this scheme, the situation moves towards resolution: no longer does it need to be debated whether Wikipedia's zero-rating is a net good, but Facebook's, although ostensibly also for public benefit, is something to be avoided.

We used to, the idea being we could reproduce validation in JavaScript and Python. It kind of worked but it wasn't that clean. Ended up switching the server to Marshmallow schemas and just having more custom logic on the client side. It's a classic DRY ... this is where "duplicate" code was better for more control and less shoehorning.
> Again...no, it is not. You are confusing different things here.

Not to get in a pissing match, but you are the one confusing unrelated things. There’s a reason I’m getting upvoted and you are being downvoted.

1) for credits, the RDFI doesn’t place holds on the funds (except in very unusual circumstances). So your apology here is flawed.

2) read the link provided by @ad_hominem, it very clearly and eloquently explains the time lines involved, by a company doing payroll. Better yet, read the whole series of posts they wrote. (Part 1/2 are linked at the top of the article).

In general, try to understand that your personal experiences might not reflect the “way things work”. There are folks on HN who have generally “been there, done that, have battle scars to prove it” (like me in this specific case) for many topics and you’d be wise to keep an open mind rather than keep fighting against them when they are trying to help you understand.
If a self driving car decides to ram into a tree/another car at full speed regularly, im guessing there will be a huge demand for explainability, not just a collective shrug and "I guess we need to train it more dunno lol".
Oh, if it's a recommendation for running some tests, I can't imagine much pushback unless they're particularly invasive or expensive. It's not like doctors don't order large panels of tests at the drop of a hat.

If you then have treatment based on those tests, that's really a doctor being assisted by an AI at that point.
The latest Hardcore History episode is called "Painfotainment", where Dan Carlin describes the history of executions and shows how they were not only a form of punishment but a large source of entertainment as well; from pre-history through very modern times. [0] It's not been a very easy episode to consume.

I've always been against the death-penalty because it is: permanent, subject to racial bias/applied un-evenly, performed by incompetent persons/botched, recommended by imperfect evidence, highly linked to religious sacrifice and does nothing to actually deter crime.

The word 'admits' in the title stuck out as not verifiably true. Like Apple protecting old phones from battery damage.

David did a great job with ScalaNLP.

It happens to depend on Breeze. I would point out that Breeze does not support n-dimensional arrays (most tensors), although that is necessary to do in deep learning.

We wrote ND4S and ScalNet to solve that:

https://github.com/deeplearning4j/nd4s

https://github.com/deeplearning4j/scalnet

Moving computation out of Spark's MLlib and into lower level code like C++, as we do with JavaCPP and libnd4j, also improves speed.

Hey thanks for the comment. In fact I know raylib. I made some simple particle library in C for it.

I think raylib is really great. It is very comparable to Love in greatness :-) and I keep recommending it to people.

However the go bindings have one problem (all go bindings for game frameworks i know of have this problem): it is not so easy/impossible to leverage the build target capabilities of raylib. E.g. the web target will just not work at the moment and the mobile targets will also involve a lot of fiddling.

It is cool to play around with but if you really want to make a game and deploy it to many targets none of the current go "solutions" is great. Maybe "ebiten" is good in this regard but there are some other showstoppers for me (no shaders.. etc.)
But it did happen. A few years ago we (as in estonian + russian communitites) helped import building outlines and most roads to OSM: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/imports/2013-March...
Perhaps there was not a race. Lua is a great language; Python is a great language. Both have a place in my tookkit. If you are into language design, Lua is a language worth studying and understanding.
Not sure why you got downvoted, I think you're right there. I misspoke when assuming that banks had much leeway in holding those funds (I'm not very familiar with banking regulations).

However I still think it's accurate to not think of the funds as fully clearing for several days given the nature of the protocol, and that regulation simply forces the banks to be "optimistic" in giving a next-business-day credit.
If removing all of the spurious circuits is “cutting the bullshit” then what is left over is the truth.

It doesn't help that high level math teaching is restricted to pockets of excellence.

I thought Hacker News preferred original source material rather than reblogging.

Or is the original source not preferred in this case for some reason, for example being hosted on Medium?

Excessive sweating is probably a disease rather than race-related. In Chinese traditional medicine it is called 虚汗, so it definitely can affect at least one more race than Irish.
Well ... no. The value of c is specific to the medium. In "empty" space, c is the constant we know and love, and is related to the permittivity and dielectric constant of the vacuum.

Specifically with a classical E-M model, when you are in a material different than vacuum, the differing dielectric and permittivity of the material are (in a macroscopic sense) what lead to the reduced c*. This is encapsulated in the form of the index of refraction, which is effectively the ratio of velocities between vacuum and in-bulk.

At a microscopic E-M quantum level, you can argue about vacuum state differences between physical vacuum and in-bulk. Indeed, in a physical vacuum, you have virtual pair creation/destruction, virtual photons, etc. In bulk, you may have that, but you also have the bulk electronic and physical structure to work with, as well as different fields and field structures.

Breeze has breeze-viz, which is very basic but at the time there wasn't anything else. I highly endorse using something else. I personally like http://sameersingh.org/scalaplot/

They're under the same aegis basically because they're all mine. ScalaNLP started out as really being just NLP, but it scope-crept. That said, Epic is a library for structured prediction first and foremost, and one of the main applications of structured prediction is NLP.

Breeze is basically like SciPy and large chunks of it power Epic. It's really the only thing that doesn't belong in the namespace.

- more than 8 participants becomes a clickathon to manage

OK, would you have a problem with Argos using CCTV to track you via ML that identifies different individuals and records their path through the store? What about CCTV that is displayed on a monitor and a minimum wage drone views, and records people's paths through the store manually? The outcome is the same in all three cases - Argos has data about how individuals are using their property, and can use that data for whatever purpose, probably making the stores more efficient and increasing profits. You can always wear several different masks and keep changing your clothes as you walk around a shop if you're worried bout being tracked, or maybe just don't shop there?
Only as far as it goes. Tracking isn't as fine grained. Service providers main concern is the service. Can you be tracked this way? Yes, but not as easily as this is talking about
I hate to have sympathy for the devil here, but I see their point.

A lack of papers on diversity seems attributable to the Chinese government's effort to control any strain of "minority" dissent. I imagine that, say, Uyghurs or the rural people on the wrong end of the hukou system, might be interested in "diversity", but for obvious reasons the Chinese government is not interested in anything that suggests it treats certain subgroups worse than others.

> who knows some African countries will end up in similar positions countries like South Korea and Israel ended up with USA

Yes, but are you aware of the full extent of the meaning of that? Maybe your country also can have someone like Yeshayahu Leibowitz, very saddened and disgusted, and very correct -- and/or take part in something like the Vietnam war. Yay! And maybe then you can live in an endless flurry of propaganda, uprooting you from reality and placing you in a revisionist history.

> the mere fact that there Is a stable alternative to western ideology is immensely beneficial to the human race being epsilon greedy

Can you elaborate on this? What is Western ideology in your view, and what stable alternative does China propose? And is stability in Africa not much more desirable? How many countries sell their natural wealth to the highest bidder while their populations go poor or even starving? Being exploited by a different party in a "better" way isn't really that great, and it's not uncommon for new competitors in a market to be super extra nice until they beat the competition.

Generally, Nneka's song "Africans" comes to mind, it's a good song.

Airtight buildings are perfectly fine with a proper Heat recovery ventilation system (HRV) that they should be using. HRV's are mandatory when building the PassiveHaus spec.

There is something very important in working out our tolerance to surveillance vs the utility that is absolutely impossible to get without risking surveillance.

I can't really articulate it yet, but reading this article it occurs to me how really the old phone system didn't offer much more in the way of privacy (every phone call was recorded), but it offered more in the way of obscurity. Now that our information systems and techniques are good enough that obscurity is increasingly becoming unreachable (even by design), we need to come to terms with what that really means.

It feels like a big loss, but every time I sit down to analyze what we've really lost, I never can identify anything actually valuable to me in contrast to the privacy rights that we already struggle to maintain.

But also, a consequence of a networked society is that people can cooperate to create systems that have remarkably disproportionate collecting capacity. In the same sense that the consequence of an industrialized society is that people can cooperate to create disproportionate manufacturing capacity. No amount of rules, conservative independence, liberal appeal, or public outcry can change that fundamental truth. Nor can we undo the march of technology without a fundamentally cataclysmic restructuring of the world's economy.

"Due to" is a strong word, but as sct202 mentions it does seem to me like SOEs made it easier for other non-SOE companies to grow. For example, it's easier to build a bunch of cities if you have a bunch of steel manufacturing SOEs pumping out supply at a loss.

At any rate, that's beside my point, which is that (whether or not they're useful) the existence of huge SOEs by definition isn't classical capitalism, no?

A) what constitutes cultural excellence? I’ve worked in diverse, toxic workplaces, and workplaces that ran extremely well with little diversity (and vice versa).

As a German, you could not be more wrong with your idea about ID cards. ID cards are not used to track your movement. There is no need to show an ID to the police unless they have suspicion that you committed a crime and confront you. There are no passport controls along roads. There is a huge difference between the scales at which passport controls and CCTV can be executed, too, because passport controls require work by a police officer, whereas CCTV can be automated with face recognition. Our police is understaffed, too, you rarely see them.

Whenever you use your ID card it is to buy alcohol or enter a concert, and police do not check the ID, but an employee of the venue. The employees just check the date of birth if you look like a young person, and sometimes if the picture is matching your face.

Is there any advantage to using OpenGL even if one isn't interested in 3D effects in either the compositor or applications? IIUC, the Weston reference compositor has a back-end that doesn't require OpenGL but just uses the framebuffer device and pixman. Wouldn't that be faster on systems that don't have 3D hardware, or that don't have free drivers for that hardware (e.g. some ARM boards)?
Unfortunately, the details are my trade secret, but I can answer some general questions, so fire away...
A little question on the side: How common is it for companies to exclude breaks from working hours? In germany you have to take a 30 minute break after 6h. Now for most companies here this makes 9to5 a 9to5:30 (a 42.5h week) and the extra 30m are unpaid.

I feel like it would be much nicer for everyone to just price those minutes in and leave after 8h (no good work happens in those extra 30m I bet).
For plain IMPS, you need to use your bank’s App. For UPI, you can use any app eg google tez, or WhatsApp. One requirement for both is you need to link mobile number with your bank account and for plain IMPS you need additional id called MMID for transfer. UPI does not need it. It also has cool feature of requesting money from other UPI addressses.
It's also only valid classically. Quantum-mechanically we expect to generate photon-photon interaction terms (the leading piece is light-by-light). Essentially, two photons have an interaction moderated by the virtual charged particles in the vacuum.
That sounds like a fantastic setup. I'll have to look into it because it would work great with my MBP.

Sadly, thanks to another bugbear of mine with the Surface Book, I'd need to carry the dock around with me rather than leaving it at the office if I wanted to do that at home.

This is because the Surface Book itself only has one mini display port connector - you need the dock if you want to connect two monitors.

Let me say it again: I do not recommend anyone buy a Surface Book (although ironically the author of the article would probably quite like its screen's aspect ratio).
