That is simply an incorrect statement. If the ISP decided to censor the data, you'd simply not be able to get to it at all. Google does not have that ability, no matter what. They cannot prevent me from accessing something.

Being concerned about ISPs, especially with NN being repealed, is not being misled at all. It's being prudent.
To the author, I actually used RustDT for a while and liked it. I gave up on it when I found it was supported by only one person.

I predicted that you would lose interest and move on to something else, and my workflow would have then depend on abandonware. A gentle bit of advice: Team up with someone as enthusiastic about the idea as you. If you can't find anyone interested, that's probably a signal not to work on the thing.

It sounds like a project you could contribute a lot to. There are a few core committers and it sounds like you're interested in staying on the JVM. Compiling Rust to JVM and having a decent IDE for the language would be really nice too.

Finally, remember one thing about IntelliJ. It's popular because of Google, and as you have witnessed with Eclipse, Google is fickle. Chasing Google's whims seems like a bad idea in the long run.

Yes, as an eclipse plugin developer myself, I made this to bring as much of the lightweight experience from sublime and vscode to Eclipse.

It is basically a next-gen command palette. Much better than the builtin quick access in Eclipse.

Interesting read. The ending is grim and sad when you read it now. Lee's words from 7 years ago now ring hollow and false:

Kai-Fu Lee now says that if you look at China’s behavior over a long horizon—20 or 30 years—it’s clear that the trend is toward more openness. The incidents that led to Google’s retreat were “a perturbation” in this movement, mainly because Chinese leaders had reached their limits. “The next generation will come up in less than two years,” he says. “They’re younger, more progressive, many American-trained, and many have worked in businesses and run banks—they’re going to be more open.”

I wonder if you could sink a very buoyant rocket to the bottom of the ocean with a weight, and then fire up the rocket engine as it breaks through the surface of the ocean with a positive upward velocity.

Presumably drag in water is the biggest issue, which would be somewhat mitigated by the aerodynamic shape of the rocket. I wonder what is the maximum theoretical exit velocity from the ocean, using only buoyancy as propulsion.
"No backdoors" has nothing to do with whether the Chinese Government own and/or use the front door.

> I mean isn't the answer to this obvious?

I thought it was obvious... because they know we won't like the answer. But it seems none of us know. It is really easy, regardless of political harm, to issue statements about data privacy for one country. Not so much for another... making other public statements about citizen data privacy more hollow if they only make them when they think they can. It's a clear case of principles vs money to me.

The interesting bit of Wave wasn't the product but the underlying framework components they created for it e.g. salmon protocol and the pubsub system.

They made many of the components needed to create an open source federated social networking system where separate implementations could interact with each other. So for example your user on your company's twitter/fb hybrid could have threaded conversations with other users across other organisation's fb clones (obviously with access control).

This could have been exactly the killer functionality to topple centralised proprietary Twitter and Facebook. Google should have thrown everything into it, could have turned out as impactful as hypertext.

I presume you have a regression background. If so: "minimizing entropy" is the same paradigm as "minimizing the sum of squares", in a different context.

If not: reducing entropy means finding weights/coefficients in a supplied functional form that minimize some objective function applied to the problem.

Usually the jargon applies to Shannon entropy from signal theory, or some derivation thereof like transfer entropy.

Entropic estimates take a form similar to

$$ -\sum(j) {p(x_j) log(p(x_j))}$$

where j is the event space (e.g. heads or tails on a coin flip).

VSC feels super fast to me. It certainly has better performance than Eclipse ever had, and feels less janky than IntelliJ.

I know some people like the light speed of Sublime, but to me there's a certain threshold where it's just fast enough. And that's where VSC is.

> My observations from Mars of people at casinos gambling is nobody seems to be having a good time there.

As someone who isn't addicted to gambling, but enjoys partaking every once in awhile, it depends. Day time casino slots is absolutely depressing, along with things like casino boats.

With that said, I have had some amazingly fun times playing cheap craps with a table full of energetic people. Most of the table wins and looses together and it can be a good time.

I used to also play a lot of poker, but that was less about gambling and more about being extremely competitive.
Have you ever tried doing all the same under a male handle? There is multiple evidence it works, maybe worth testing if you are sure that gender bias is the main problem?
1 & 2: This is setting the bar rather high, no? I hate GWAS, but am surrounded by people who do them all the time. To show any kind of function for a SNP is hard, to do it in humans is very, very hard for something like this involving nervous system function, and to prove the difference in function is "adaptive" virtually impossible. The furthest people go, and fairly rarely, is to show an eQTL and spin some unconvincing tale about how the difference in expression might have some effect.

But array-based methods do have one advantage which is that the 450K for example is heavily concentrated in genes and promoters. So the variant, which indeed does not span just one nucleotide, does have at least putative functions, which are simply the known functions of the gene, although yes, you cannot say whether the variant itself is helpful, harmful, or null on the functions of the gene. It is at least a step up from people who come to me (bioinformatics) and ask me to use my divining rod to guess what their SNP 100Kbp from the nearest gene might do.

3. Putting it in an abstract is fairly desperate, I agree. But broadly speaking the way you know you aren't getting total nonsense is if a lot of related terms cluster towards the top. Which looks to be what they got. It looks a lot cleaner than most GOEA results I see.

Perhaps you could educate me on what would be proof of positive selection. Would it be at least convincing evidence, if not proof, if you showed that phenotype P is associated with variant V, and variant V is associated with positive traits X,Y,and Z after controlling for P (so you can rule out direct links between P and X/Y/Z which bypass V)? From what I have seen, investigations into functions of individual SNPs are almost invariably a waste of time ending in handwavy stories so I wonder if there is a better approach.
I have similar experiences in the broad strokes, but for me it's more that:

1) I don't feel anything interesting during exercise. I feel vague pressure and tension in roughly the expected places for a given movement, but that's about it. I don't get the sense that my body is actually doing anything in response to that movement.

2) If I make any attempt at actual intensity instead of literally just going through the motions (which does not do much to alleviate point #1), I often end up with some weird injury that flares up over the next week or two, even when nothing seemed to go wrong. Getting "brain fog" for hours after the exercise is also pretty common.

I suspect this is something to do with a broader interoception deficit (I also have trouble gauging hunger/fullness, thirst, tiredness, illness etc.), but it's hard to find any reliable information about that sort of problem. Most sources basically just tag it as an autism spectrum symptom and don't bother actually examining it.

7-10hrs/week here. Exercise is great, definitely helps me think, makes my brain feel fresher, and gives me the stamina I need to keep up with my sleep schedule.

But ho boy does it often feel like it's eating into how many hours are available in the day. One problem is that the more exercise you do, the more you want to do.
Oh good, I hate free expression.

The Chinese government is right to require all of it's citizens data to be stored in domestic datacenters.

The danger of the Chinese government accessing your data is
1) Non-existent if you didn't declare you're Chinese
2) Not any different than the danger of the US government accessing your data

By the way, since so many of you feel so strongly about your data being stored abroad, don't you think the Chinese should feel the same? Why should they trust their data to a foreign government?
You hit the nail on the head. They also reveal this strategy through their data science "thought leadership" posts, which are seemingly meant to appeal to data folks (own your code! add value through modeling! don't worry about collaborating with engineers!) but do not reflect the realities of industrial data science.

My story of weird police interaction:

My wife was driving my pickup on the freeway late at night; I'm in the passenger seat dozing, sleeping off a party we went to.

Anyhow, she's pulling over and I see the red and blues flashing around us, and I'm wondering what's going on. She's asking me where I keep my registration. We stop, and the cop stops behind us.

Then a second pulls in behind him. I'm sitting there wondering WTF because the worst thing I can think is wrong is a burned out tail light...

Cops come up on both sides; we roll down our windows, cops shine flashlights around within the vehicle - my head is pounding, thanks guy...

Cop asks my wife: "Why did you pull over?"

My wife replies: "Because you had your lights on, blipped the siren, and pulled us over...?"

Cop then says: "...Go on, get outta here."

We're both looking at each other like "WTF was that about?" - but my wife pulls out, gets up to speed, stays at the speed limit, then gets off at the nearest exit. We take surface streets home.

To this day, I have no idea what it was about.
Here's something more unequivocal from Apple's main response [1].

>Finally, the government attempts to disclaim the obvious international implications of its demand, asserting that any pressure to hand over the same software to foreign agents “flows from [Apple’s] decision to do business in foreign countries . . . .” Opp. 26. Contrary to the government’s misleading statistics (Opp. 26), which had to do with lawful process and did not compel the creation of software that undermines the security of its users, Apple has never built a back door of any kind into iOS, or otherwise made data stored on the iPhone or in iCloud more technically accessible to any country’s government. See Dkt. 16-28 [Apple Inc., Privacy, Gov’t Info. Requests]; Federighi Decl. ¶¶ 6–7. The government is wrong in asserting that Apple made “special accommodations” for China (Opp. 26), as Apple uses the same security protocols everywhere in the world and follows the same standards for responding to law enforcement requests. See Federighi Decl. ¶ 5.

KDE Plasma Mobile Could Give Life to a Mobile Linux Experience
> I'm not anymore a dreamer

Perhaps it's time to start dreaming again?

Rewriting the world for VR/AR is coming up. And unlike the rewrite for mobile, this time our software development environments will be transformed as well (mobile wasn't a place for writing code). And while we're perhaps running out of time for new compiler targets and languages, there seems a lot of potential for changing infrastructure.

For example, a talk went by, which I recall as someone dropping linux instances on google lambda, and setting up deterministic C compilation, for massive parallelism and caching. So push a button, and some seconds later a linux kernel has been recompiled (from empty cache). Which rather changes the constraint space on "our language or type system can't provide nice-thing X, because it would take too long to compile". Golang's story of runs fast on a couple of local cores, may shortly sound like "my IDE runs on a PDP-11!", sort of "that's cute - nice art piece". Is it ok to take two days to run some proof obligation? ... well, is it cached now, so no one ever has to do that again?

Eye tracking; hand/finger tracking; escaping from 2D's crippling real-estate constraints; speech recognition; fine-grain code sharing; rich compilation frameworks ... there's a lot of fun incoming.
