> The "law of a Member State" part is very concerning.

Interestingly, this mistake would dramatically increase the market power of the US and its tech giants. The US market would continue to produce endless numbers of wildly profitable, very large tech companies. They'd continue to start out by easily capturing the US + Canada + various global markets, and then they'd better be able to piece by piece target markets in Europe with whatever customized product changes were necessary. A company starting from a small to mid size market in the EU simply can't perform like that, they don't have the financial resources to meet all the demands of each member state. Facebook can trivially do it.

This would be a huge gift to US tech.

> Inheritance is worthless, then.

That's a spurious deduction. Inheritance is a mechanism of passing value store. Purely living off inheritance, reduces the stored value. This is a demonstration of the concept, not a violation.
The problem is that (AFAIK) there can be only one authentictor per account. So to move it to my watch, I'd have to remove it from my phone. And that makes me ... nervous.. The nice thing about the android wear authenticator was that it could be both on the watch and the phone at the same time.

SEC cannot bring criminal charges. The Justice Department can. We will see if they do in the case of Elizabeth Holmes.
To be clear, I admire my immigrant parents for their work ethic too, and for that influence on me. And the counterpoint about diminishing the accomplishments of others is something that definitely needs more attention.

I've been casually called a "robot" or a "trained monkey" by well-meaning non-immigrants in the U.S. (even kids in gifted programs) out of what I perceive to be jealousy.

Relevant to the particular article, I did notice that my cousins who lived in China worked a lot, lot harder than my cousins who lived in the U.S. (and myself), even though we typically worked harder than non-immigrant children.

I think that far more worrying is the dangerous narrative pushed by people insecure about their accomplishments and aided by people jealous of others’ carefree childhoods that seeks to diminish immigrant accomplishment as lacking individualism or initiative.

In my experience, this narrative was pervasive in the 70's and 80's in the white majority areas where I lived, that my humanity was substandard or lacking entirely. This is precisely why communication between parents and children on a genuine human level is all the more important. If an Asian parent just tries to pull unilateral parental authority, flying in the face of the different contextual reality around them, then they play right into that narrative of the inhuman/less-human parent.

This is not to say that parents should be permissive or that they should treat children as equals. I think that parents should be strict, and that children's status needs to be earned. Parents cannot become the friends of their children, until the children have become adults. However, parents who immigrated from a different culture can not act as if the surrounding culture is going to support them in the way their own culture supported their parents -- if they want to maintain their credibility. Parents who immigrated from a different culture have to maintain their credibility by living principles and by example. Denying reality and being unwilling to learn themselves will destroy their credibility. A six year old child is going to notice that your grammar is poor, you don't get the jokes, and that you can't tell the commercials from the TV shows. That child will notice the illogical puffery of insisting that one is always right because one is the parent. In that situation, it is better to live an ideal of always striving to become more correct, instead of insisting on being correct by fiat when you are clearly not correct about many things.
Yeah, of course more laws is the perfect solution. A law for a law, multiply and double.. two times over at least.
Pointless and over-sensitive remark. No idea why you assert I'm "extremely invested in silly and bad". Please don't put words in my mouth.

Just for you, here's an angle that you'll see as "silly and bad"...

The name "Apple Watch" is a misnomer. It's not a "watch" in the sense of its primary function as a timepiece. If you insist it is a timepiece, then given the short battery life, it's the worst timepiece since the invention of the watch.

It's a device that does a few different things that happens to be strapped to your wrist.

I find it curious that the Apple engineer and another person in this thread has listed as their number one use of the Apple Watch "telling the time (duh)"... why add "duh"? If you use other apps primarily, the time may not be visible, or only in tiny digits, or even a blank screen. "Duh" is not needed because telling the time seems to be something the Apple Watch does only under certain circumstances like "have you recharged" or "is your wrist angled the correct way".
And what about the democratic deficit of first past the post?

Clearly FPTP is a failure as far as fair representation is concerned. That's not even a subject for intelligent debate, just a mathematical fact. However, it's a different instance of democratic deficit, not the one that people were voting on in this particular case.
Actually you're right, I didn't realize that the compiler treated a single &mut references like that.

I wonder if what I'm thinking of involved &mut self captures that were happening as part of an impl on a struct. There's definitely some cases there where I was getting tripped up on it.

One of the most dangerous practical manifestations of this is in datacenters, though, where you use it to go poking around in other people's VMs.

I will copy my comment from the last thread on this project:

"IBM is a multifaceted company.

These kinds of projects fall under what used to be called IBM Global Services https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Global_Services. It could be compared somewhat to EDS (HP), Accenture, Perot Systems (Dell) etc. I've never heard of over-delivery from any of these kinds of outsourcing arrangements, they always seem so obviously destined for boondoggle.

IBM proper, the one that makes mainframes and POWER and DB2 and a ton of operating systems and storage etc is very much a technology company. Some of their best products have the worst sales and marketing efforts. I'm working directly with the senior leadership of the POWER group right now and there are no salesmen in sight.. the technology will either sell itself or not. When we met in person the first time the GM told me "we can build any kind of computer you want" - meaning microarchitecture changes, SERDES configuration, new board layout, sheet metal, OS, application tweaks. Not a lot of companies can do that. There is hubris, less technology, and lack of technical value at FANG or most startups or whatever your benchmark is in comparison.

IBM Research is one of the only remaining great industrial research organizations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Research. Their results speak for themselves."
Indeed. I was attempting to induct from basic principles - as in two distinct cards.. But gp's right - it's not trivial. Unsure if it's simple :)
The US has two parallel justice systems. One is civil, the other is criminal. The purpose of the civil justice system is to resolve disputes and amend harms. The purpose of the criminal system is to punish.

Shkreli was charged in the criminal system; Theranos was caught up in the civil system.

You can’t take a plea deal in the civil system because there’s nothing to plead to. You can only settle, which essentially means the parties to the dispute figured out an agreement without the help of the court.
Thanks for rebutting Chathamization's gross misrepresentation of Searle's argument.

> It's all theoretical as long as you stick to simple tests (like multiple-choice exams), but becomes relevant when you suddenly expand the context (like requiring the student to prove some theorem instead of doing a calculation).

Not even expanding the context changes the situation. The proof of a theorem can be memorized without any understanding just as easily as algebraic rules.

> Second, we also know that for humans this difference isn't just quantitative. Memorizing more algebraic rules and training in their application will not automatically result in students gaining understanding of mathematical principles.

This is correct and the same principle applies not just to humans but to computers too (which was the point of Searle's argument). No amount of computation is going to make a computer aware or understand the meaning of the symbols. Ultimately "meaning" is our perceptual awareness of existence but that is a long proof for another day.
Thanks for the quick reply! Happy to see I can test this without giving github access.

Yeah, I don't know much about Slovakia but the author's broad, unsupported generalizations of the country (Slovaks are very talented at mid-level service jobs: responsible and polite if not particularly fast-moving... Slovaks, particularly in the service industry, are astonishingly honest) don't inspire a lot of confidence. I was also surprised to see the author's use of "the Ukraine". I still remember someone at my college newspaper using that archaic phrase in an otherwise innocuous article and getting a very angry letter-to-the-editor about the history/politics of Russia and Ukraine, and that was more than a decade ago.
They just stopped counting the people that don want to work.... and let me tell you there are a LOT of them. Ask any police officer or firefighter about apartment complexes full of people who do not want to work, can not work because drugs, or are on disability.
Downgrading &mut T to &T is perfectly valid in every context[0]. Upgrading from &T to &mut T is impossible in safe Rust and can easily cause undefined behavior when it's done in unsafe block. If you have T, you can create one &mut T reference or many &T references.

Someone can setup "watchdog" services that you can give your revocation transactions to and they can watch the blockchain for any attempts to "steal" your money and if any are found they can instantly broadcast the revocation.

Doing it this way you don't give the "watchdog" service any control of your BTC, just the ability to broadcast countersignatures, which means there is still no counterparty risk here. You could even give your revocation transactions to multiple 3rd parties that can all watch the blockchain for you if you don't trust any one of them to not backstab you.

Seems fair -- if men are working more hours, then they aren't actually paid more per hour, and might even be paid less. The fact that so few men (and so many women) work as K-12 teachers, who often work a fairly limited number of hours with generous vacation time makes me particularly inclined to side with you here. Of course, there's always the argument that the number of hours doesn't actually directly map to the number of hours you spend at work (for instance, many K-12 teachers do a lot of grading/planning in their "off" hours, whereas some other work requires no commitment outside of the 9-5 grind).

I think there's another side to this, though, that makes us question exactly why men and women seem to gravitate toward such different career paths. Why, in 2018, do so few men become stay-at-home dads? Why do women seem to favor more personal time outside of work (and why don't more men?)?

Some of this is purely biological -- a woman literally develops and feeds a child inside her body for 9 months, which is going to skew leave toward women after a child is born -- but others are more societal: why can't we live in a world where men hold more K-12 teaching positions? Maybe instead of dismissing these problems because of a poor metric [salary vs. hours worked] we should think about how things ought to be, and what we can do to be there.

I'm not in favor of 50/50 male/female employment in every career, of course -- I truly believe that there are physical differences that will manifests as different representation in certain jobs. But surely we can do better than the current 95/5 ratio in elementary teaching, or the 20/80 ratio in software development. anything within 20% is a good place to aim in my opinion.
just so that you appreciate this outstanding gift: the equivalent compute time would quickly be worth several dozen of dollars if not hundreds of dollars on Amazon (plus setup time).

this is truly one of the most remarkable giveaways since … the Internet. of course by doing this they want to find talent and hook you. but I see no harm in this bait and switch scheme.

TL;DR: wow! free supercomputer time!
It changed when IBM started laying off their domestic American staff in preference to offshored resources, especially from India.
Thanks for mentioning statistics, then using gazillion in your post, really makes it seem more valid.
As far as I know those people have never been counted. Certainly not recently. Unemployment is really hard to calculate
It also doesn't count people who want to work, but have given up after years of trying. IIRC, unemployment is calculated based on the number of people who are actively filing unemployment paperwork.
Given the current situation re: Russia that's practically a dogwhistle.
This is also the risk with "official" statistics. The under employed and "gave up"s are wrongly excluded.

OpenGL is still very relevant, and it works on more hardware than Vulkan. You can get very good performance out of OpenGL if you try to follow AZDO practices, and it'll be good practice, should you later decide to learn Vulkan.
To me, that makes sense regardless of how true your make (which I find suspect) may be.

A nation's unemployment rate should be a reflection of the economy's ability to employ it's populace. Not how many people actively have jobs.
If that’s true why wouldn’t this have been done in the past where the perceived unemployment was even worse?

U4: U3 + "discouraged workers", or those who have stopped looking for work because current economic conditions make them believe that no work is available for them.
>Especially because of the absolute outrage that follows when anyone suggests any revisions after "the people have spoken."

If you're referring to Brexit, this "absolute outrage" is mostly generated from the not-very-democratic billionaire owned media that probably would be reined in by a more directly democratic system.
This is great - especially for small projects and learning. However, there are a few limitations to be aware of if you’re thinking about using it for real projects.

First, is memory. I’ve seen reports of practical limitations being around 500mb. Call me a spoiled millennial noob but the vast majority of my real-world ML projects use a lot more - especially when working with image data.

Second, is getting data into your notebook. Most ML is data heavy and you want a fast way of working with it. For example, the Google Landmark challenge on Kaggle has nearly half a terabyte of unaugmented images just for the test set. You could easily push several terabytes for that one-off challenge alone if you were not careful.

Note: it is possible to work with much less data in many cases by resizing and preprocessing the images as you pull them down but that has problems too. Also, you can use Google Drive but it’s not ideal for large datasets.

Well, I expect most people to just say "Wear OS", which is, presumably, what they actually want. But trademarking the full name is probably quite a bit easier.
I worked there in the late 1990's. I was in research division (writing Notes applications) and they were doing better after the downturn in the early 90s. They spent billions on research (some hardware research like chips/ some software research).
The little nub that think pads use was invented in that building.
Global Services (the consulting arm) was the rising division.

The talk inside was the new CEO (Gerstner[1]) was leveraging IBM's size rather than the previous plan to break it into pieces and was somewhat successful at it.

I left to go back to grad school. And I think the new management went back to the "this is too big and unmanageable, its worth more broken up" mindset.

The unemployment rate is still over 8% if you count those who have dropped off because they haven't found work in 6 or more months.

This measure was well under 7% at our last period of nearly full employment.

Your private repositories have been locked unless you pay money. You cannot set the private repo to public, you must pay.

Except GitHub actually tried to do that to me for real, and failed. Luckily, they unlocked the repos while trying to charge me (no billing details on my account, so... nice try?) and I was able to snag my code back without being extorted for money. At no time was I given the option to opt-out of private repos. My only other option had they not screwed up was to pay.

Nano / Raiblocks is a scam in the sense it is created for free, and old users need new users to dump their nano at a profit to new bag holders.

The initial distribution of XRB was performed through
"manual mining" limited via a captcha.
The distribution rate was
17 XRB (Raiblocks) per hour per ip4.

This method was easy to automate, and easy to bypass with the plethora of VPNs and users who own hundreds of IP4/IP6 addresses. Presumably the dev team has the vast majority, millions of Rai/Nano.

I wonder if this type of analysis if even worth our time as individual people and as society. Will the information it uncovers lead to a better life for us? We all know success is some combination of luck, skill, and hard work. Luck is probably partially dependent upon the other two components (skill and hard work). But by how much, who cares?

If success and well-being is fully determined by luck, then what should I do today?. If it's not, then I'll continue reaching for the stars. I don't think you will ever prove 100% dependence so anything less means you have to try.
Those are also counted, the Fed releases multiple unemployment numbers, the one everyone thinks of as "the unemployment number" is U3 but you might want to look into U6 which includes discouraged workers and those who want to work but haven't looked recently and the underemployed.
