You get to do that. Others get to do what they are doing too.

It's not about that. I'm not gonna tell you what to do, but I will absolutely tell you something about what it means.

Maybe you don't know.

Frankly, your preferences are toxic. The toxicity is rooted in lack of consideration for others.

Nobody is objective. Even you.

And that lack of consideration actually undermines your stated goal of objectivity. It's not really viable to attempt objectivity without actually considering others and the social dynamics in play.

Those carry a lot of implications for everyone involved, even you.

Now, trans people simply are the gender they self identify as. Manning didn't switch.

What she did was actualize herself better, and that means being able to present as who she is better. Would you have others live lies so you, personally feel better about who they are?

I wouldn't, and for one reason: What if it were me stuck with a bad deal like she got?

What is that bad deal?

Rather than always parsing every move, interaction, expression for gender norm compliance, essentially living a lie, she now simply is and does as any of us do. Who wants to live an act, facade like that?

Nobody, and that is a basic human truth. Nobody. It's hell.

Your attempt to connect things back to an identity that is a more or less a lie, a forced construct, does nothing but reinforce the lies and severe inhibition she just escaped from.

Further, by doing that, you also inhibit acceptance and amplify severe and personal pain and for what?

I will leave that for you to answer, save to say it's self serving and this world isn't just about you.

Consideration due is consideration given. You aren't giving any, leaving yourself due very little, which should explain the frank and blunt nature of my comment, which I really should not have to write.

Maybe it helps. Hope so. The world will be just a bit better, and that is my intent here.

Give a little, and 'ye shall receive.

Oh, and no response required or expected. I don't care about that. No need. Just think, and then consider acting on the product of those thoughts.

Cheers.
My recent venture in the filesystem have been somewhat fun. The problem isn't so much misnamed objects, and more that the kernel is filled with seemingly undocumented, arcane, old things. `sb_bread` isn't some kind of food, but the "SuperBlock Buffer Read" method, and `brelse` means "Buffer Release" (and not, somethingsomething else, as I initially thought).

BH means Buffer Head. The meaning and usage of Buffer Head has changed a lot across Linux versions. It's the basic unit of IO operations, but nowadays most users would use a bio for most of what you would have used a buffer head in the past. When you're working on filesystems you'll have to use BHs to talk to the hard drive though.

Linux FS infrastructure and Ext2 share a lot of names. For instance, ext2 and linux both have superblocks, inodes, blocks, etc. They are... logically the same, but at the same time they're very different - one lives purely on the disk, the other provides functions to the kernel. This makes conversation very complicated, when talking about the superblock, you have to mention which superblock you're talking about, because that's not always obvious from context.
It's also a quote.

As I recall the study went a little farther. The majority just used it for making lists. The rest used 10% of the features, but it was a different 10% for each person.
>Rust avoids these entire class of bugs

Because Rust doesn't have the "unsafe" keyword, and no one would ever trade security for performance. Just like no one would ever misuse global variables just to make development easier. Just like no one would ever commit their signing keys into a public repo, just like no one would ever allow SQL to be run from user input, just like no one would ever you get the idea.

The culture that led to Adobe or Microsoft products being the way they are/were is not dependent on the language they used. Gates' security memo in 2002 never once blamed the languages they developed in, it blamed the culture their products grew up in. And funny enough, they've gotten much more secure without ever switching programming languages.

Again, I'm not anti-Rust. But buying a car with airbags doesn't mean you're never going to crash it, and it certainly doesn't mean you can never die in a crash.
I agree with you - I can't pick any sense out of this paper. Note that they have not given a single example of a curve that is not a "fractal" by their definition. What would such a curve look like? A straight line is the obvious guess - but since all the "bends" are zero for a straight line it's not at all clear what their definition would even mean.

Intuitively, a fractal curve is something that has larger bends than expected yet their definition is something has a disproportionately many small bends. Why would we want to consider such a thing fractal? Frankly if I were to try to find a curve that was not fractal (under their definition), I would search amongst curves that are fractal (for the usual notion): how else would you get large bends even as you subdivide the problem?
Definitely shouldn't be surprised, and it's not just the suits.

It seems that the election of Trump, in particular, has turned half of the infosec community into rabid fans of the CIA/FBI/NSA. It's really quite sickening.

One of my personal favorite public conversions has been the grugq. In 3-4 years he's gone from selling bugs (worldwide), and supporting hackers (worldwide), to a rabid Russiaphobe who uncritically accepts whatever unsubstantiated claims GCHQ and NSA make, and refuses to sell bugs to anyone but FVEY.

Summer camp probably won't be very much fun this year.
FWIW, those numbers are based on "the number of unique contributors (users who pushed code, opened or commented on an issue or PR)" to a project in those orgs. So not really a measure of those companies' contributions to open source (it counts any action from any user, not just someone from those orgs), but companies also have more than one org (you can see the problem with all the articles covering this from the fact that both angular and google are in the top ten list...).
Agreed. Honestly, you could visit some of the old HN threads and at least see a ton of skepticism. If HN commenters can find reasons for suspicion, then how could a journalist not? Isn't that their job? Or are they just PR mouthpieces. How is it that I can go to forums like HN and get more information on this company than in the articles of prestigious publications?

There is no surveillance of actual people, the government just found a cheap way to find out that their own land had an unexpected change. Finding suspects seems to be old fashioned police work. I find it very hard to find any arguments against this use of the data
Quite possible! I'm currently in Kansas or I'd be out finding some hills right now to test this further.
It’s a shallow understanding of free speech and expression, not to mention argument, which believes that every issue has eternal value on all sides. Society doesn’t suppress the flat earth view of reality by ignoring it, because it’s been addressed and destroyed. Life is finite, and too many are happy to waste what time we have on craziness or hate, and we have no obligation to meet them halfway.

If there was some new information in the debates over race in the 60’s, then your point would stand. That wasn’t the case though, and there was nothing to suppress except a persistent, ancient, hateful ideology. This is true in the same way that balanced reporting shouldn’t boil down to giving a scientist explaining why the Earth is round, with a lunatic who thinks it’s flat. They’re entitled to their beliefs, and tell them to anyone who wants to listen, and we’re entiteld to ignore them like they don’t exist. That’s not “suppression” in a meaningful sense.
To me the principle of “once untrustworthy, always restricted” sounds like the beginning of a new caste system.

Everyone's children are going to make mistakes. The wealthy are going to be able to cover up their children's mistakes, the poor are going to be put on 'the list' and become 'restricted.'

The restrictions will grow, and eventually you'll have a new group of 'untouchables'

You're confusing the parking brake for the hydraulic braking system.

This illustrates the difference between having laws and enforcing them. Some countries have strict laws, but little enforcement, so marginalized people can break these laws as long as they fly under the radar. With technology, it becomes trivial to implement enforcement for even draconic laws at a scale previously unfathomable. Also, they seem to be rolling it out slowly. It reminds of the metaphorical boiling frog syndome[1], where the frog realizes what predicament it is in, but too late.

At a past consulting job the CEO claimed Google was reading his confidential information in the 00’s and refuses to use anything except Office 365. In his case confidence that MS will not act improperly is the most important feature.

great product!!!
The thing that worries me most about the autocracy in China is that all of these Orwellian measures would actually work and then would be pointed out as an example to abandon our civil liberties in favor of a system that may be big brotherly but at least "your kids will always be safe, never be close to any bad person" (By We I'm referring to Democracies).

It may also be a uniquely Chinese thing too though. China has had very powerful Central States for an extremely long time (not just the CPC but all the emperors and what have you). Perhaps that's just the "Chinese Way": absolutist State which largely works for most of the people?
You could also choose to do experiments which teach you nothing at all, and I think that's the worry here.

Neither Deep Blue nor the superior chess playing engines running on PC hardware that came afterwards used machine learning. They relied on basic heuristics as humans do to numerically evaluate a position (material, activity, etc.) with the advantage that they could evaluate many more possible move sequences than a human. They also had opening books to avoid losing games from the outset and endgame tablebases to identify forced wins/draws with a small number of pieces on the board. Only recently did Google come out with a chess playing program that is actually ML-based, and it beat the top rated 'traditional' chess engine.

My point being, despite chess being considered a game that requires deep thinking, the use of actual AI in chess is very very new. As far as I'm aware, Kasparov had nothing to do with it let alone a deep understanding of it. He wasn't even involved in the earlier development of computer chess playing programs as they rose to the grandmaster level and eventually beyond his own level (super grandmaster). He along with many others had confidently predicted that machines would never beat humans in chess. So yes, I'm quite reluctant to believe that he has any kind of vision on this topic.
Sounds like a great project.

Geo-partitioning in CockroachDB
Keep in mind that in the US, the Federal Government is not the only game in town. The EPA as currently constituted is not the only possible way for our society to protect our environment.

It seems to me that conservatives often make the case that "The Federal Government should not do <foo>," but others instead hear, "we as a society don't need to do <foo>."
You're strictly right, of course. It amused me, which is why I parodied it in my response -- but whilst it is not a direct accusation everyone using such a turn of phrase in straight prose intends to create a loose identification between their subject and those "bad people" whilst leaving open the door to make such claims as you are now.

Your objection above lacks credence.
Just picking a nit, but the problem with a genie isn't that it misinterprets you but that it literally does exactly what you ask for. The mismatch between "what you wanted" and "what you asked for" isn't the genie's fault but yours.

Hey I offered this exact service with:

www.dotcomco.in

Some of the in-house community cryptocoins I made as a portfolio of examples include:

www.ycco.in - distributed karma for HN community (still up)

www.instagramco.in and www.facebookco.in - distributed likes

Of course I didn’t make it to front page of HN and got no traction. As I have more than a few cryptocoin/blockchain themed domains I began tozenizing the domain ownership rights to try to sell with the pre-made community cryptocoin, my experience is there seems to be more interest in these domains than the community coins.
Trying to actually use this reminds me of how frustrating and slow it is to actually use cryptocurrencies. Endless hoops, lots of waiting for confirmations, and that's me doing things the 'easy' way with Coinbase and MetaMask.

This limited scope is still progress though, toward the general AI he is saying will not come in the near future. The Alpha Zero project showed that it could be adapted for any 2-player perfect information game. This is still quite limited, but not nearly as much as a program like Stockfish is, which will basically only ever play chess.

Perhaps the next step is bringing the system further into the realm of the unknown in games, like chance and imperfect information. I don't know if Google is continuing this, but it would be a shame if it wasn't.

China is doing this explicitly, but the West has been doing this implicitly for a while. Doxxing people with the "wrong" opinion and emailing their employers, friends, etc. I pretty regularly see if on Facebook where someone says something and their post or a screenshot of their post is shared hundreds of thousands of times with test that says "make this person famous". To be clear people should be called out for bigoted speech. An internet lynch mob though solves nothing and just creates a forever alienated group of people outside of society with little to no stake in the future. We all, as in humanity, could use understanding the nuance of stopping bad behavior while also forgiving people for their pasts. I don't have all the answers, but I guess I wrote this as it's just a generally worrying trend I see with the internet overall.
There seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding about funding models and how CERN and, at least, the US differ. In the early 90s I was briefly on a small team to sell IBM Federal products to the nascent US supercollider project. (With a background in physics, I was referred to as their throwdown physicist.)

Then the supercollider was canceled, and later we called on CERN in Geneva to brief them on storage systems software and hardware, like hierarchical mass storage and linear tape robots. CERN had a nice mockup of the proposed LHC, where you climbed down a ladder into a fake tube, like what is bored underground. While we were down there, our hosts shared a shocking factoid with us. The US government canceled the proposed $12 billion supercollider project, and to exit all the contracts and fill in the holes that had already been dug was costing $650 million. CERN told us that for $650 million, they could build the LHC. I didn't verify their numbers, but their capital efficiency was stunning.

CERN is funded by all the European countries with a steady budget, and they are allowed to spend it however they wish. When CERN needs to build something big, they put some part of their steady funding into the bank, and it just sits their for however long it takes until they need it. By having steady, stable funding, they can make much more efficient use of their funds. As far as I can tell, there is little or no political heat about CERN's budget like "what have you done for us lately?"

The US, on the other hand, funds large projects out of special legislation in Congress, and everyone has to get their constituents a piece of the pie. This has some gross inefficiencies for large science projects. Appropriate hype is the motive force.

Hey, they are pretty standard ERC-20 tokens, so they technically can be traded on an exchange. However, right now all of the coins have pretty low volume, so most exchanges probably wouldn't list them. A decentralized exchange built on 0x would work though!
Real IPv6 support is another one. I get that it's harder for them because they do such advanced networking at such a scale but... at this point their statements of support seem like empty talk. They are a late adopter.
You're right about the feature set. But, Google's products are good enough for most users. The justification for all the bloat in MS Office was always "people only use 20% of the features but each person's 20% is different." Well Google actually did a pretty good job of identifying the features that most people use. I hardly ever open up MS Office anymore (it isn't even installed on my main work computer).

I know that there has been controversy dealing with Adrian Lamo for a long, long time, however; my sister was married to him for a short time and I know he had many mental health issues and demons that he's been dealing with his entire life. I know she loved him very much at one point and time and she is sad today because she knows how hard his life was dealing with his issues. I feel terrible for his parents, family, and friends. This is not the time to talk badly about him.

I don't necessarily know of any studies, but I can offer some "anecdata". In reading, I tend to skim past long descriptions without any action. For example, I would skim past the food description in Brian Jaques' books, the descriptions in Lord of the Rings (such as The Council of Elrond), and lots of minor details in Harry Potter. I've recently been listening to a lot of audiobooks since the free echo deal (that came signed you up for Audible) from Amazong.

I've found that I retain a lot more of the details now that I'm listening through the books and I cannot just skim past "the boring parts". I notice the subtle callbacks to details in earlier stories. I notice the little hints or clues dropped by the author (especially in their choice of words). I think I actually enjoy this more because I get a stronger sense of the "craftsmanship" element.

However, this really requires a good reading so that you can distinguish the different voices, emotions, and details.

My first thought: Why not just use max gain? of course that would leas to catastrophic failure over short or long. Second thought: Why not both? Just like speed is a derivative, so perhaps you want a set of differential equations, also gain per square time, too.
