If the hierarchical structure is inferior to a worker-owned structure, why aren't the most successful companies worker-owned?
Same to your second point: It is obviously a market advantage if you get the same quality of CEO for less money. So why are the CEO's salaries so high?
If the supply of cheaper but equally good managers is there, why does the usual supply-and-demand price finding system of the market not work? Is something stopping it?

That being said, I really don't like the cult around Jobs. However, the cult was clearly an advantage for Apple, and it made him a rare manager. And thus, expensive.
You have an interesting point. I hadn't really thought of that in quite a while, given that it was core curriculum in my early years. Using other professions like construction or moving for examples of how your body becomes conditioned for the job, the voyageurs must have been beasts of men. The lumberjacks of the river.
There might be something to this.

Coworker P and coworker S shared an office. Coworker P got a device that filled the office with a haze of vaporized essential oils. It was sort of a large-scale vaping device, a bit like a humidifier or fog machine.

Coworker S was a married father of two who seemed rather ordinary. After a bunch of time sharing that office, Coworker S decided to transition.

So, it's just an anecdote, but I don't think I'll be taking my chances with essential oils.
If it weren't for Western philosophy, the modern world would not exist. Most of the present population would not be alive, and those who were would almost all be peasant farmers who were illiterate, got married as soon as they were biologically able to produce children, half their children would die in infancy or childhood, and they themselves would likely die around the age of 45, if not earlier from the regular epidemics and famines.

And why are you not aware of all this?

I started this as a UI research project to try and replace OS X Finder with a keyboard-only UI. A strong inspiration was the Helm Emacs package.

My initial prototype was in ClojureScript/Electron, and I was exploring far more features like inline preview, and a command/argument (verb/noun?) builder system.

However, after showing my prototype to a few friends, they were all much more interested in the fast search and window switching capabilities, so I decided to cut scope, focus the project on those features, and get something out the door.

This is my first Rust project, and I've been thrilled with the language and that community in terms of great libraries, documentation, and their willingness to help beginners like myself.

p.s. Sorry I'm late to the party, I pushed this blog post online immediately before going to sleep for the night =P
> Are you saying that you believe Richard Feynman didn’t have a working grasp of the issues at hand? Or are you saying that “philosophers of science” don’t know anything about the science they philosophize about?

I'm saying that understanding things like what the scientific method can and can't do is useful to a scientist because, if they don't understand the distinction, they might try to use the scientific method to prove something it cannot.

> As for science, it’s a method, and it can be applied to anything. What it says may often be, “don’t know” which imo is better than 100 pages saying “don’t know, but I’ll give it a go anyway, because no one can prove me wrong yet.”

While you might try to apply the scientific method to anything, that doesn't mean it is useful for everything. For example, if something isn't replicable, then the scientific method cannot help you. You cannot scientifically prove what effect the Battle of Hastings had on Britain.
Even then the suggestion further down this thread could work: include pinterest results only if the search query contains the word "pinterest".

If people then still complain because they expect google to read their mind and provide pinterest results for completely unrelated queries, I honestly don't have much compassion for them.

(Though if google wanted to, they could even make allowances for those people via profiling - e.g., if you know user X has clicked on many pinterest results in the past, always permit those results in their queries.)

Thanks for the references!

Any idea why these are not often used with touchscreen mobile interfaces, e.g. press for contextual pie menu? Even without OS support, they could be implemented within apps.
Disclaimer: I am not a subject matter expert. But I would like to point out that the collection section begins with: "With spring water in the machine". One would presume the "spring water" means lead-free as it has not been subjected to lead piping.

I, too, am a bit suspicious as the numbers seems to vary a lot and, with the exception of first 24h collection, the lead-content decreases while the time of exposure increases. But I wouldn't call the results meaningless.
So far, you haven’t displaced, or even responded to the claims so much as expressed something along the lines of a threat, a type of discussion that is much more offensive in my view.

> The idea that DARPA was ignorant of a fighter program by one of the largest weapons contractors in the country/world is absurd.

It's a more nuanced story. What they didn't understand was that the A-12 series of aircraft (A-12, YF-12, SR-71 and even D-21) were specifically designed with early low observables principles & materials in mind. There was a lot of classification with these aircraft, particularly due to their initial customer (CIA rather than DoD). They needed to obtain permission from the CIA to discuss the low observables aspects with DARPA.

These kinds of issues (inability to discuss relevant classified developments with other defense or intelligence entities that might benefit from knowing) is a routine and valid criticism of classification practice.
Containers are generally managed similar to serverless.

AWS drains connections and workloads on container deployments. I set the same rules to scale either.

Containers offer flexibility that serverless doesn't for implementing hot/cold, blue/green, n running with n+1, etc.

So, additional flexibility with the same considerstions.
I don't know what the problem is with implementing opt-in community block lists.
This gives blocking functionality, and offloads the responsibility to communities that users can subscribe to.

The other problem with touch screens is that your finger isn't transparent, so you can't see what you're pointing at the same as you can on a screen with a mouse. So you have to come up with different strategies for displaying menu items and feedback. Like showing the selected item title at the top of the screen where your hand isn't covering it.
Can we also ban Elsevier and get Google to replace their links with Sci-Hub links?
Will this allow different service to get into same space and then we will do "-site:pinterest.com -site:random.com"? Maybe than there will be space for new search engine that will do it for us?
Sometimes you can, and find out personal information or that used to be the case not long ago. I don't know under what conditions it takes but it's a bit like some news paywalls, I think. Incognito tabs won't work.

Not sure that pc plod in Europe gets the wide access that American cops do
I don't believe that is true. If your company is sufficiently away from its market optimum, i.e. optimal long term profit, another company will outperform, and you will be forced out of the market. Then, all your employees have no job anymore. Not sure that is ethical.

It is therefor the charge of the political system to set boundary conditions to shape the optimal point to be ethical (and, at the same time, capable to survive in the world) That's, for example, the idea behind social market economy as in Germany.
Interesting! This seems to be in very early development. I do not fully understamd the simple example, but somehow the basic idea and delarative nature feels promising to me. I do not have a good enough understanding of this. I fear that a single central declaration of all the tasks and communication channels might get unwieldy for a system with realistic complexity.
While you can argue that racism is universal, that doesn't excuse anyone for racist behavior, whether they're Japanese, Iranian, or American.

If you examine "may have anxiety about their communities changing", it clearly implies they think non-whites are changing their community for the worse. It also implies the community belongs to the whites, and they get to define it.

Alternatively, they could (but don't) view their community as something they share, becoming more diverse, more interesting, more inclusive, etc.
>For a white, wealthy person [...] For a black person

I don't think it's likely that a purely scientific and non-emotional discussion about race related subjects can be had these days online. Primarily because too many people frame their arguments in such a way to automatically make the other person wrong.
They do!

Similar approaches are used to identify Medicare and Medicaid fraud.
If anything — 50 LoC seems like it might even be an overestimate. I use a wrapper function around all my lambdas that deals with translating from the aws http headers to an application standard, asynchronously retrieves a config object, and converts promise based business logic to the aws callback format. The actual business logic
is then written almost entirely in terms of the business domain. The wrapper is less than 50 lines and extremely easy to write. Making an equivalent wrapper for another cloud function provider would be easy ...

Someone thinking the need to adapt the input parameter format to achieve provider portability is by itself enough reason to add docker to the application stack is making a huge mistake in accessing the relative cost of these components ...

I don’t think deploying containers to different providers is anymore standard than the differences involved in deploying cloud functions to different providers so it’s not as if using docker would actually give a more uniform multi-provider deployment model ...
It almost seems like Google can read your mind at times. They should already know whether somebody is a heavy Pinterest user or not.

Then why not tackle the root problem?: Lack of critical thinking skills. I'm not from the US, so I don't know how extensive their philosophy courses are in school, but judging by these repetitive "Russians/bots are manipulating our people" headlines, it's probably lacking.
The whole discussion is about targetting some particular companies. That explains why a VAT, which is paid by the consumer anyway, wouldn't be better. If you’re going to distort the VAT chain to be get something equivalent to a tax on the sales of specific companies, how is it going to be better?
The intent of a company to minimize taxes has no bearing. The tax shields hurt both the United States and other EU members.

The EU isn't collecting American taxes. They're fixing EU issues.
There's definitely a large number of people who only visit sites through Google's homepage. Not the address bar or anything else (clicking links being the exception).

I worked this out by hearing about customer support calls for a new URL we had which hadn't yet been indexed by Google. All the callers having problems couldn't find the address bar. They thought the Google search box was it.
Adding -site:pinterest.* to the search works too.
I can’t prove that, but could a sufficiently powerful AI prove it? Probably. The open questions for philosophy are a function of our present limitations, and as those limitations are overcome, the space for philosophy shrinks. I don’t think it says much that’s good about a field of study for which the major criteria is untestability and immunity from definitive critique.
There is no OpenCL in the story there. AMD created HIP as a direct copy of CUDA. It then gets compiled to work on AMD hardware, or can be translated to CUDA.

AMD also supports OpenCL (which I prefer to both CUDA and HIP), but it's not connected to HIP.
Just use -site:pinterest.com

I've always been curious how philosophy ended up with such a bad rap here. My pet theory is that a lot of the "philosophy" that comes onto the popular radar is terrible (and imo barely philosophy at all -- but that may be a No True Scotsman).

> I distrust a field of study which proposes to produce something which amounts to a placeholder until scientists do the real, hard work.

This is one of the more common criticisms, motivated (as far as I can tell) by some idea that philosophers are stubborn in the face of empirical evidence. This has not been my experience -- almost all working philosophers understand well the scope of their arguments, and most limit themselves along the lines of: "if the evidence bears out X, then Y...". They don't attempt to claim what is true while we wait for the evidence to prove it, but rather to point out what things cannot be true (due to logical inconsistency), and to clarify what concepts are the most useful to talk about in the meantime (in terms of expressive power).

To me, it's a bit like pure math: you can build some interesting structure and prove some facts about it, and while that structure may not be useful in explaining anything about the natural world, the facts you proved about the structure itself are still true regardless. Likewise, the evidence may not bear out, say, Libertarian conceptions of free will -- but if they should, Robert Kane has done some good work determining what else is necessarily true, and what implications this might have for some of the "other hazy constructs". (He's proven some facts about that structure)
I'm happy to be so sensitive to any kind of flavor to eliminate everything that smells from my life, more or less. I guess it is some form of innate protection.
I have never found a tool better than "by hand"

Simply put the DB isn't code, and a DB changes are in another category when looking at the risks involved. Deploying to your own MYSQL cluster vs AWS vs Postgres vs oracle are all very different mindsets, tools and requirements.

Can you get away with a tool in the short term, probably - and it would be one specific to the language you work in. Pick something your side project is written in, or something your interested in learning if your willing to go higher risk.
Yes, how horrible it is to think of other people. And honestly, one problem does not diminish another.

> "really understanding" is just something a computer program thinks it can do once it gets complex enough to be conscious.

At the same time, consciousness might not be a requisite of higher intelligence at all; it could merely have been
evolutionarily advantageous early on in the development of complex brains because of our natural environment... it's hard to imagine an intelligent animal with no "me" program doing very well.

But maybe a digital intelligence (one that did not evolve having to worry about feeding itself, acquiring rare resources, mating, communicating socially, etc.) would have no use for a central "me" program that "really experiences" things.

Such a creature is kind of eerie to think about.

No he did not. The original paper is at

https://arxiv.org/abs/1707.07702

This paper was not widely noticed back when it was written in July (both inside and outside the theoretical physics community) and still has not been accepted in a journal.

In fact, it is rather unfortunate but most of what Stephen Hawking did in his latter years has been highly speculative; perhaps food for thought for other experts, but not worth reporting about in the mainstream media since it is (in my opinion) very likely to be wrong.

I apologize for not debunking this paper with more detail but a scientist can spend a lifetime doing so... However I can make one falsifiable prediction (like a true physicist): the serious news media will not report on this.
Well, they're obviously not the only criteria, as the text you mention was immediately preceded by "Not only did these Twitter accounts typically include profile photos of adult actresses, but they also had similar bios, followed similar accounts... "

Galois is essentially a commercial R&D lab for businesses and governments. Although having trouble a while back, this business model plus talent at solving problems has landed them steady contracts.

When I write CUDA kernels I am very specific in optimizing for nVidia GPU features:

* I have 1024 threads per block
* I have 48KB of shared memory per block
* I have 32 threads per warp and need make sure that
global to local memory reads are coalesced.
* Think SIMD and avoid branching as much as possible

My kernels usually follow a specific pattern:

(1) Read global memory into local memory: making sure that
if thread i reads memory[n], then thread i+1
reads memory[n+1].
(2) __syncthreads().
(3) Do computation in in most thread balanced way possible.

This very specific pattern doesn't really work elsewhere. In fact, optimizing in this fashion and then porting to C++ and elsewhere loses the specific optimization. Programming in more general way loses all the things that makes the program fast. Anyway, I definitely going to look this over more.
I got fed up with Twitter's lack of enthusiasm in blocking all sorts of shitposts that I stopped using it. I've been significantly less angry ever since...
Math tip: seek to understand wherever possible, not just learn a series of rules. Things that you can construct from first principles are almost by definition understood and learned at a deeper level. It may take longer that way at first, but it’s a shortcut in the end.

YMMV
What then? The people that do search for Pinterest will find it missing, and likely assume Google screwed up/their search engine is broken. They won't know Google banned the site or what for, they'll just think 'Pinterest should be coming up, it isn't, so Google is broken'.

A problem that can be solved with a single line, “Pinterest results not included for x reasons” is no problem.
