Accuracy. If you could somehow prove that every vote could accurately be tied to a human pulling a lever, confidence in election results would be higher. Also instantaneous results and no issues of a recount (like in the 2000 election, where the refusal of a recount in a state cost Al Gore the election).
Same here. It was the dawn of the dial-up age, and we were loading funky IPX device drivers and stringing coax to play this between apartments...
I agree with you that there are many incredible and useful insights based on mathematics and the equals sign, but the main point of contention is that not every mathematical truth has a co-responding physical phenomenon. Nor can we adequately explain how an equals sign works, or why it works. Mathematics and [im]material reality are not one-to-one and assuming that mathematics supersedes the imagination or is a superset of human language and expression negates human experience and renders our lives as secondary to "almighty math." Mathematics is a tool, would you agree? Philosophy is also a tool. Mathematics without a human user is like a video game without a player. I am not asserting that mathematics has no "objective meaning" it _only_ has objective meaning (because for every "object" we must have a "subject" namely, the observing consciousness).

Do you have to change your career to become a writer? I would focus on becoming a writer, and then if it works out change your career.

Also, it depends what kind of writer you want to become - some options are easier than others. For example, would you classify a journalist as a writer? Is technical writing "writing"?

Barry Eisler is a good example of a writer who broke into writing gradually. A former lawyer, it took him 7 years to get his first book published. He wrote in lunch breaks, on flights, after the kids went to bed. He had to re-write that first book at least twice based on feedback from agents/publishers.

Ted Chiang is an example of a technical writer who changed into science fiction writing.

I changed from teaching into technical writing.

How you will change into writing (which I assume is what you want) will depend on your starting point and how far down the road to becoming a writer you already are.

p.s. Have a read of "Big Magic" by Elizabeth Gilbert - I believe there's much of value in her suggested approach.

This is correct. As far as I know, there's no significant foreign funding coming into the Sri Lankan health sector. Most of the foreign aid that did arrive, went into post-war reconstruction efforts.

Also worth noting: higher education (including Medical College) in Sri Lanka is free.
Expecting people to make individual choices isn't really going to work.

I have made changes, for instance I don't own a car or fly anywhere. If I'm being honest this has meant compromise for me, because I live in a community of car owners the infrastructure for cyclists is minimal and the public transport is sparse.

I'll keep doing it and more but I don't expect people around me to change unless they are forced to.

>I've read in news reports that you've received an outpouring of help from foreigners who want to donate computers to your school. Is that actually happening?

> No, they are showing interest but nothing has been brought to the school. We are praying that they are able to organize themselves and present us with computers.

That's how things are today. The so-called "internet community" is extremely good at bad things, such as shaming people, but when it comes to the positive, such as organizing a donation of a single computer to a school in Africa (which definitely has its challenges), nothing gets done.

Ive done both. Based on what Ive seen, star citizen, as a piece of software, seems to be a total mess.

Theres no excuse for that imo, if its the result of bad project management or whatever then so be it, its still a mess.

"decisions that are obvious and trivial for a hobbyist solving small problems look a lot different at scale."

What scale? Users? team size? Also, I dont see how either makes it ok to write crummy software. Give me an example.

Also in what way are the hobbyist problems small? Tiny teams (eg. the Dwarf fortress guys) have done some of the most groundbreaking plain old technically difficult work Ive seen.

+1 Slow Cooker and also add a Rice Cooker.

My fav recipie is beef stroganoff. I buy cooking steak from the local butcher shop who is happy to cut it into diced chunks for no extra cost. In the morning I chop up mushrooms & onion and throw them with the beef into the cooker with a half cup of ketchup and wostershire sauce and set it on low.

In the evening when I get home I put on a rice cooker (cheapest automatic machine ever) and pour sour cream into the slow cooker and then pretty much serve it up.

It probable took me about as long to write this as to put it on in the morning.

I can partly echo what you've said about Black comedians, although there has been a great progress if you compare Katt Williams or Chris Tucker with Kevin Hart, JB Smoove or Chris Rock. Maybe progress is also the wrong word, since Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy were brilliant stand ups of their time.

One quality of good comedians I might add is observational skills: To see the weird in everyday situations.

Meaning exists in relationships, which its clear that the current generation of AI learns. An example is word2vec, which can learn that king - man + woman = queen, and simultaneously king - man + boy = prince, etc.

The current generation of image recognition is really missing an understanding of physics and 3d space. There's no understanding of what would happen if a dog moves its head around.

The next generation of algorithms might fix this. Some people are excited about "capsule networks", which are supposed to learn features that are able to be rotated significantly without breaking.
I though there are strict laws against counterfeiting? It isn't even slightly different, it has the chrome logo on it!

With all the mishaps lately like sending out stones and bricks [1] instead of cameras I am worried this will carry over into other Amazon owned companies like Whole Foods.

[1] https://fstoppers.com/gear/buyer-orders-6000-camera-amazon-s...
On one hand, anyone can obviously see that this is clearly ripping off the Chromecast's looks (and trademarked logo). But on the other hand, anyone who buys this thinking they are getting a Chromecast obviously didn't read the description. The first line is "special note: this isn't a Chromecast." One of the product pictures clearly shows that it can do several things but not Amazon Video or Netflix. I'm not sure I feel sorry for people that buy this. Didn't you learn that MegaBlox weren't as good as Legos when you were a kid?

Also, I don't know if the description has changed in the last couple months, but the top review (2 out of 5 stars) focuses on the fact that it's not 5GHz capable, but it never claims that it can. Again, it's possible that they changed the description since the review was posted, but I can't see anything on this product that is an outright lie. This company is staying on the right side of shady behavior and not straying into criminal territory.

Crappy product? Probably. Trademark infringement? Almost definitely. Counterfeit? Not quite. It's just MegaBlocks vs. Legos.
So wonderful - includes features that sound eminently sensible yet are not present (I imagine) in any modern tools:

> A new sysadmin can be given less power by providing her with a smaller weapon. A rank beginner may not be given a weapon at all and be forced to attack processes with her bare hands. It would take a foolhardy player to attack a room full of monsters, just as a newbie should not kill a bunch of important processes. A more experienced sysadmin would have time to stop a newbie who is trying to kill the wrong process. The real work could be left to those with the big guns. The truly great sysadmins could have BFGs.

That's why bridges and pluggable transports exist and let you obfuscate your Tor traffic to look like something else, see: https://tb-manual.torproject.org/en-US/circumvention.html

> That's not to say that I think Tor isn't great nor that it shouldn't be used. My complaint is that it gets represented to general non-technical crowds as solving more problems than it actually does.

Well they do provide warnings https://www.torproject.org/download/download.html.en#warning among them is the one which is related to the Harvard teen "Use bridges and/or find company: Tor tries to prevent attackers from learning what destination websites you connect to. However, by default, it does not prevent somebody watching your Internet traffic from learning that you're using Tor. If this matters to you, you can reduce this risk by configuring Tor to use a Tor bridge relay rather than connecting directly to the public Tor network. Ultimately the best protection is a social approach: the more Tor users there are near you and the more diverse their interests, the less dangerous it will be that you are one of them. Convince other people to use Tor, too! "

Unfortunately the network security is kind of a joke so an attacker can intercept your messages if he is near you.

Not to mention that traffic inside the network is not encrypted so a lot of parties have legitimate access to the messages anyway.

I understand your point but SMS should not be used as the only factor for authentication.
The source code is public, there's probably been a blog post about it, there's an about-page for it, and there actually is a setting for it in the main-UI.

I really don't see how it's particularly concealed. If they actually tried to conceal it, you would not know about it at all.
You're blaming the victim. This is a rip off, which clearly reminds of the original, and probably 80% of buyers are searching for the real deal and my end up buying this shit.
Things like this always depend on what you value most and least. The rankings always have certain weights for those things baked in, and those things may not be the same as how you value them.

For example, the rankings put lots of northern states at the top of the list, whereas if you asked me what I value, not having to deal with much cold weather is important, so that would immediately disqualify everything they said was best. Other people, I'm sure, feel the exact opposite.
Your own report contradicts your argument all over the place.

"There is little doubt that the Durbin Amendment had a major effect on consumers — and would-be bank customers — as issuers have, in various ways, passed on some of the costs of reduced interchange fee receipts, as discussed above"

" retailers of smaller ticket items in particular have seen
increased interchange fee costs as a result of the Durbin Amendment, and there is anecdotal evidence that these fees are being passed on to consumers"

I didn't bother reading the entire report, either.

Well, search Chromecast and it's the second result on amazon.co.uk. It looks to me like this is intentional, especially since it looks like a Chromecast and has only 2 stars.

Is it an attempt to rip people off who expect to get an actual Chromecast or is it just intended to make it look like a bad product you shouldn't really be buying?

I'm getting kind of tired of this war between amazon and google that's not serving anyone's interests.

I've been aspiring to a philosophy I call "event based processing" (I know the term has other meanings in computing) or alternatively "Zero Impact Activities".

Regardless of the name the concept is that in undertaking daily tasks the tidy step is completed as part of untaking the task (eliminating a separate tidy phase).

Eg as a Parent I was constantly tidying or managing the kids to tidy the shoes area near the from door as all of us would take our shoes off fairly loosely around the door. I realised I needed as second shoe rack and then after discussing the new goal of an always near shoe area spent around 3 weeks on everyone's back to retrain us all to take off shoes and put them neatly in the rack. Eventually it became just what we all did, I achieved success and tidying up the shoes is now an eliminated task.

Similar applies having the family put their dishes straight into the dishwasher after the meal and better yet have a post dinner family tidy schedule at the end of the meal event.

Think of task flows as a messaging queue :P
