IPFS will still be a volunteer thing. Filecoin merely allows you to pay volunteers for specific pieces of data.

But there are other protocols incoming too, like Swarm for Ethereum, Storj, etc. Some of them already available just like IPFS.

I doubt IPFS will automatically win this because it was the first to make a glorified BitTorrent client available via HTTP.
That seems really high to me. My student loans (2001-2005) were 4.5%. Has it gone up so much recently?

Edit: Just Googled. 4.5% is still a typical range for unsubsidized Stafford undergrad loans. 6.8% sounds like it was either a grad student loan or a parental (PLUS) loan.
Nobody claimed it was $5 including shipping. It's still £3.82 ($5.32) without VAT (deducting it since US prices never include sales tax, either) and shipping at Pimoroni UK right now.

Well, I was living there at the time, and lived in Beijing from 2007 to 2016, I saw it happen. It was no secret either, the gov was open about the evictions. The chuan places took a super long time to recover, and it still isn’t what it was like in 2007, especially in northwest Beijing where most of migrants used to live.
That doesn't necessarily mean it's reasonable to be suspicious towards an entire ethnic group. Not many Uyghurs support violence, and not all Uyghurs are separatists.
You're ignoring the fact that China's rise is really in its 17th year, if we count from it joining the WTO (which is arguably too early).

> When I was young, explosions and gang criminality were extremely rare and uncommon

Are you sure about this? Crime has decreased significantly over the past decades in most countries. I also can't remember any crime from when I was young but my area was much more dangerous back then. But as a child, you don't notice subtle signs of crime and won't get beaten up because you try to prevent people from stealing a bike. And even if that happens to a family member I'm not sure parents tell their children the truth. But asking your parents won't help, memory is always biased, my memory of the area I lived in as a student is also much better than it deserved.

More communication by social media has probably also played a role, it's much easier to track crimes nowadays. But even where crimes were reported back then it's really hard to compare that unless you use official statistics.

I don't know how you can jump from stating an observation to conclude how I feel about it. I'm merely stating a natural course of human affairs.

To answer your question, I'm not happy to see any violence, but as someone who has some humility, and pragmatism, I don't see how more oppression can solve the problem of violence. For the Uyghurs, they view what they do as self defense, just like the Chinese, is self defense wrong? Some would argue only if the force used is not proportional to the offense sustained. For over a century, Chinese of various factions have invaded and massacred tens of thousands of Uyghurs in the region under different pretexts, what exactly can you expect from an ethnic group fighting for their very own survival?
This seems as good an article as any to ask: in people's opinion here, is there any risk for Americans going to China and continuing normal Internet browsing activities? (I know the following is not the best attitude, but I really do mean on a "nothing to hide" basis.)

Someone in this thread mentioned $4.7 billion (quoted as 30B RMB in this thread) on the security and surveillance, for just Xinjiang, which has a population of 21m give or take, out of China's 1.37 billion people. That's obviously a lot of money (for comparison the entire US intelligence budget is maybe an order of magnitude higher annually), so I'd assume that when in China, and maybe outside of it, basically whatever you do can/could be monitored.

I get the impression that if you're not, I don't know, doing detailed dissident planning it's not an issue, so this would seem the same standard as pretty free Americans would expect. In America, yeah if you spend 18 months downloading textbooks on bombmaking, buying laboratory equipment on Amazon, and then eventually industrial sizes of fertilizer, ammonia, and remote demolition detonators on Ali Express, while getting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bitcoin from seling a 1-page haircut ebook which has 1 review stating it was useless, while you spend most of your time travelling between Syria and Washington DC, where you're at home on the dark net all day over tor, reading arabic language anti-American calls for terrorism and jihad, you would expect to get a visit at some point between when you start that journey and when you're on skype bidding your mother back home goodbye, saying that you will die for a worthy cause in your Jihad against the U.S. imperialist pigs and asking for her bank account information. I mean sure everything I've just stated (literally the entirety of this paragraph) falls under freedom of expression, freedom of thinking, and freedom of commerce, but as a practical matter you'd expect to be stopped at some point.

So is that the standard? If I go to Beijing but I'm not spending eighteen months travelling between Beijing and Taiwan reading about how to arm rebels for a military coup, how to get what you want by taking political hostages, and taking geographic survey equipment across the street from state buildings in Beijing with a notebook and a "Insurrection for Dummies: How to lead an armed rebellion and communicate with your followers while toppling Beijing's military hegemony" book, as an American could I expect to continue my normal Internet browsing (including reading or posting about "sensitive topics" or whatever)?

I mean on an everyday basis. Note that my Chinese example didn't include purchasing fertilizer and detonators, so I get that the standard could be a bit lower - but does normal American online behavior count? Or would an American not be able to enjoy their usual online freedom without getting lots of problems?
I have a few cloth bags I cycle through. A few small ones that I carry around in my pocket, and a few larger ones that I use if I need to make a large run to the supermarket, which honestly is pretty rare nowadays because I tend to just pickup a few items at a time as needed.

Every week, whatever bags I've used get thrown in with the rest of the laundry that I would still be doing anyway, and they don't push my loads so high that I find myself doing more laundry than I otherwise would.

One time use bags get maybe two or three uses tops whether paper or plastic, but I've been using the same cloth bags for about 10 years, and I'll probably still be using the same set of bags or close to it in 10 more years. Maybe by then I'll be married to someone that knows her way around a sewing needle and/or machine to deal with any potential wear and tear.

So I don't know mate, what's the environmental cost of tossing your bags in the laundry with the rest? It's not nothing, but its probably better than the mass manufacturing, shipping, distributing, disposing of and/or recycling (in a best case scenario) of "one-time" use bags, and certainly better than staying in the hospital because you don't bother to wash your bags.

Stealing $1.00 from a million people who won't miss it is more devious as you're less likely to get caught and if you get caught people are less likely to bother pursuing it.

But I think it is impossible to say one is objectively worse than the other. It depends so much on how the crime affects people. If you steal a million from a multi-billionaire, he might not even notice. If you scam a clueless person out of a million that they got in debt to hand over to you, that will ruin their life.
Comparing this to a bank-robbery doesn't really scale, being two completely different crimes. However, this suggestion came at the same time as the Swedish government suggested raised penalties for weapon crimes, meaning you can get up to 4 years for carrying a automatic weapon/hand-grenade you are not licensed for while you can receive a 6 year for providing copyrighted material to the public. Common punishment for rape in Sweden is 1-2 years. It's clear to me the Swedish government are not helping Hollywood in the best interest of it's citizen's but due to lobbying from the film industry. Just my 5 cents.
It's typical - conservative even - for lawyers who end up going into BigLaw. $160K starting salary will let you pay off even a couple hundred grand in loans in just a couple years.

This admittedly is only about 20-30% of law school graduates, but in a survey of net worth, dropping the 20-30% of data points that are most likely to have high net worth will skew your average significantly.
what are their fees even for?

If you're referring to the resort fee I've only ever heard that that's charged by hotels in the US and I think it's a scam.

I've never ever encountered mandatory fees for (often shitty) WiFi and a daily paper, which I don't want. Some hotels (usually at the upper scale) may charge for WiFi if I chose to use it, but won't just tack it to the bill if I don't.

Offering a low price to then switch to a higher price, which is not even visible when you book, but only when you're about to use the service and can't turn back without penalty is a bait and switch it's fraud; plain and simple.

I don't get why the law doesn't hammer down hard on such practices.

The Creative Destruction of Business
The RPi Zero at $5 is a (hardly verifiable) reality only for a few lucky purchasers, especially writers in some blogs/magazines, but an urban legend for everyone else. 10 people every now and then telling the world they got it at $5 mean nothing when there are thousands who can't get it without price inflating bundles. We already know why it is produced in so scarce quantities, so I won't comment further. Besides that, the RPi Zero has also way inferior capabilities compared to this one..

Regarding the Emlid board, yes, it's way overpriced, but it doesn't seem a product aimed at makers -though it also tries to sell itself as such-. Once you add the board to make it useable the price will grow a lot. To me it has its uses as an industrial module manufacturers can stick into their products. I personally would rather get a NanoPi NEO2 plus its dock at a total cost of $28, or 10 more for 1GB RAM, and the OrangePI also has some boards with similar characteristics, but that's a personal choice: Nano/OrangePI boards are wonderful boards for makers and experimenters but if you're building something critical then you should look elsewhere. If the Emlid board satisfies safety requirements then its price is totally justified (and selling it as a makers board could do bad PR), otherwise they should make a breadboard friendly version at a lower price.

> Rarely used packages go unmaintained.

I have a related pain-point. I want to maintain nix packages on their own long-lived branches. I also want to base these branches on the latest stable release rather than unstable.

This would require upstream nixpkgs to treat my package branches as equal peers and to pull their changes with 'git merge' like in the Linux kernel workflow.

Status quo seems to be that upstream expects people to work directly on the unstable branch and to make contributions using short-lived topic branches that can be rebased at any time.

I spent a lot of time packaging Pharo Smalltalk for nixpkgs but I found it too complicated to stay in sync with upstream and so I ended up orphaning that package and redoing it on a downstream overlay repo that insulates me from the upstream nixpkgs workflow.

This was discussed a bit over at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/27312 but perhaps didn't get enough visibility because I also stubbornly prefer to work on Github and don't follow the mailing list.

> With Ubuntu, every time you want to fix something with your car, you roll it into the garage, pop open the hood and get to work. It's intensive labour, results will vary, and undoing a change can be really difficult.

You can do it that way, but I wouldn't recommend it. If your Ubuntu system becomes that way, it has become unmaintainable.

All modern server deployment methods describe the deployment in code so you do "print a new car" every time you change something. This includes Ubuntu.

On the desktop, you largely don't need to pop open the hood at all. If you find yourself doing that, you have yourself an experimental system and not production system.
Which ones do you include in your "most" category?

Bitcoin fees, for example, are based partly on the amount of data in the transaction. It's not really a percent of amount sent factor. Whether you send 100 BTC (which is a lot of money) or 0.001 BTC, you'll pay about the same fee assuming the same number of input and output addresses.

Also, while bitcoin fees had gotten quite high toward the end of 2017 and early 2018, lately they have reset back down to a very low level. I routinely send batch payments from a dozen input addresses to some output addresses with a value total of a few thousand dollars, paying less than $1 in fees.

And anyway, you can't send people money to their credit card.

UPDATE: It appears bitcoin fees are back on the rise..., 10x what they were a day ago.

>> I don't get why deep learning researchers are so hung up on learning everything from scratch.

It is easier to formulate the problem when you are dealing with only one specific task. Transfer learning is useful, but in its current format it is limited, and can only borrow features from tasks that are similar. Meta-learning is trying to tackle this problem specifically, promising result is presented, but still long way to go to be useful in real-world production.

In order to NOT learning from scratch, we need understand the representation of knowledge. For neural networks, the knowledge is parameters that learnt. However, the parameter is tied to the task that your trained your network with, so we are back to square one. I doubt continuous differentiable tensors are the ONLY representation of human's knowledge. It might represent the hard-to-explain intuition part of it, however, a large, probably larger part of our knowledge is better represented by category/hierarchy/graph/rules that is not easily differentiable, which current deep learning techniques struggle to model.

So, IMO, it is not really that researchers are obsessed with supervised learning, it is probably that they have no better alternatives.
