Facebook fake-news insanity continues
While scrolling through my Facebook feed, I saw an article titled something about Israel injecting African immigrants with birth control, without their consent, etc. My first impulse was that of shock-- "my god, what are people doing?!". Fortunately, that feeling was immediately followed by one of "Aha! You almost got me there. This is fake and offensive. How the hell did it get on my page?". I looked at the source and didn't recognize it, but at some point I had liked the publisher. I flagged the post as best I could and un-liked the publisher.

What I've learned from this is that Facebook, despite having the resources available to make change, hasn't -- at least, as far as I can tell. Further, this experience confirms that despite my limited use of Facebook, and trying to be careful about sharing my interests there, knows me well enough to trigger exactly what was intended. Last, I need to be more conservative about what I "like", especially when token positive articles serve as bait for a series of more damaging, fake ones.

I don't mind cleaning up mess like this if I know that Facebook is being proactive about improving its condition. Will see how over the next year if anything changes.
What question? It seems pretty clear what they are saying: the concept of mind is a social contruct, metaphorical, a figure of speech rather than a figure of physical reality.
Ive been playing guitar for 25 years and still practice on high action junk $50 pawn shop acoustics, or even kids sized walmart guitars with now almost rusty strings. I do this for dexterity, mostly playing scales and usually out of tune. Then for actually playing, recording or anything serious, of course I play something nice.

Aside: I started learning the mandolin last year and picked up a Rogue model for 40 bucks. Ive learned to make it sound pleasant, but it is terribly strenuous to play. When i do upgrade I know that the piece of crap it really is will have done me very well :)
I should’ve been more clear IIRC ALVINN was the first ANN based computer vision decision making implementation in the world at the time.
It was also one of the first practical applications of an ANN in general.
Out of curiosity, what’s a car you had before the Model 3 that you’d compare as the “MP3 player”, and is it a recent car?

I ask because the Model S can’t compare with the S Class or 7 series on comfort and luxury, yet you’re saying the model 3 should be compared
I agree with the industry picking something part.

The part I'm not keen on is nobody asks for a discussion on things anymore, they just check stuff in and it becomes a defacto standard.

Which can be okay... but I'm not a fan of foie gras for a reason
Nice article. In my experience, the "Real Cultural Differences" section sounded like every enterprise company I've interacted with in the US.
> That should be a huge accomplishment, but it is viewed as a failure because it is a small fraction of what Tesla initially predicted.

It's a failure because Tesla made financial bet that they deliver high volumes of Model 3. It does not matter if Model 3 is good car and customers love it. Tesla must ramp up their production very fast or Tesla runs out of cheap money.

Tesla has no problems with customers love the car with passion. It's the investors who will choke Musk to death later this year if he has to ask more money to continue with struggling production. He will get the money but it will have high interest rate and Tesla stock will come down 20-50 percent.

Currently Tesla is producing 20% of it's target. Their production curve is not growing steeply enough. In fact it's slowing down.

Are they really worried about too much noise on the site? Please, come on.

Is this really so hard to believe? I have been a member of the community for ten years now (https://goo.gl/JZkqSP) and have seen the number of low-quality questions rise to the point where I honestly don’t enjoy answering any more. People don’t care to ask well, they just want to get over their personal issue as quickly as possible and be done with it.
Ignoring the absolute legality of it, I can't believe their insurance in any way shape or form allowed this to go on.

Ok, but what do you find are better options then? If you have examples then we can discuss why they haven't taken off as popular standards.
Well, he got wrong how the fertility rate would evolve, but that does not invalidate the model he developed. And he would probably have been pretty spot on with his predictions if the fertility rate had not drastically decreased.
Cap and trade is both the mainstream theoretical economic consensus recommendation, and worked well in practice in solving acid rain.
Those production targets were established for a reason. Tesla is burning unbelievable amounts of cash [0], and they need to convince investors and bond holders that they will break this trend soon. Showing very agressive production targets for M3 is the only way to do it.

Hm, in China black people, Indians and other Asians are all not considered "laowai" but have their distinct terms. Not sure about latinos. They might be mixed with either laowai or black people into one category.
True, but that's true with anything. You don't hear people talking about how hard it is to open an Atlantic salmon farm in Ames, Iowa. You don't hear people talking about how hard it is to farm avocados in Nome, Alaska. If your business depends on fiber Internet service and close proximity to an airport, you're going to select your business with that in mind. I'd wager most businesses don't have those requirements, though.

I can name a multinational I've worked with in the past, East Jordan Iron Works. They're headquartered three hours away from the nearest major airport in a town of 2,000 people. The nearest airport where the smallest Delta or American flight will land is over an hour away in a city of just 15,000 people. That didn't matter when they started, and it certainly didn't stop them from expanding their business operations to Ireland or France in recent years.
IDK. For me that would be training myself to put hacky poorly considered code together as fast as possible.

I can already do that, but it’s not a good habit.

You seem to have an overly simplistic view of human nature which may have triggered gp's racist alarm. Look back into the history of Western science: plenty of creativity from scientists who grew up in the eras before creativity gained it's current exalted status. Likewise Chinese people won't all turn into automotons just because the Chinese government policy does not maximize their creative potentials.

You can buy hand soap specifically for lead and other heavy metals. One widely available brand is "D-Lead" and it's common to see it at hand-washing stations at shooting ranges, where you are expected to clean up your spent cartridges (they are a slip hazard).
And CORBA/IDL was doing exactly the same 20 years prior to that.

We get tired of things because they accumulate cruft, or are deemed "ugly" by younger developers. So we replace them with newer alternatives, that are more light and easy to reason about for newbies entering the profession. But then we eventually find that we needed more features after all, so we gradually re-implement them again until the cycle repeats. The industry wheel just keeps on spinning...

Is Google behind this integration effort?
I think Searl's central argument still stands: Computers as we know them today can only simulate the human mind but can never bee consiuos, since they cannot expereince qualia like humans and probably other animals do.

I have always found Dennett completely unconvincing. He falls into the behaviorism trap: Since we cannot objectively observe consiousness, it does not exist.

Not really in aviation. Even commercial airliners are often decades old (and as a passenger, you can't really tell unless you know what to look for). They do reach a point where replacement with newer technology makes economic sense, but they can basically be maintained indefinitely.
The corporate media ignores the rise of oligarchy
It's hard to have an honest conversation with someone when you know that they plan to cover up what they said.
Conflating culture with race was, incidentally, a classic rhetorical device used by American South proponents of slavery.

There are certainly elements of jingoism at work here, too.
I'd love to see more products that reduce e-waste by:

1. being upgradable without needing to replace. I hate it whenever new generation of Intel CPUs are introduced, because it usually means I have to upgrade the motherboard when I upgrade the CPU. I'm willing to sacrifice a little bit of performance for upgradability and for being future-proof (for at least 5 years).

2. using standardized parts instead of proprietary parts - for example, ATX power supplies are pretty much standard, so one can easily exchange one for another (as long as one meets the power requirements)

3. Reducing the usage of plastics. I've even made a PC case out of cardboard box many years ago when I didn't have a lot of money. I remember seeing few cardboard-based PC cases that were sold commercially but they were more of a novelty.

4. making computers that are easily repairable - laptops like IBM Thinkpad make it easy to replace parts like RAM, HDD, as well as internal parts like screen, keyboard, etc...

5. Choosing quality over quantity (i.e. lower price or cheaply made products).

6. Mandating a longer hardware manufacturer's warranty. Typically it's usually 1 year but I'd love to see 3 to 5 year warranty. I wouldn't mind it, even if it were to increase the price of PC components a little higher. But the long term benefit is that manufacturer will also try to create higher quality products.

7. Using and creating software that works well with older hardware. This is one of my biggest frustration, especially on the phone. Software is often slow and bloated. On Windows, Windows 2000 was the best OS, at least in consideration of performance. I also miss Snow Leopard on Mac.
FYI: in Polish, "kot" means "cat". Also, Kotlin is a popular ketchup brand here (unrelated to cats though) :P

> One of the really striking findings of the study was, that you would in some sense really rather know where somebody went to college rather than how much money their parents make, if you wanted to guess how much money they were going to make in the future
Serious investors don’t typically trade in “naked” shorts. They usually cover the downside risk with an “at-the-money” call option (the right to buy shares at the current trading price). If the price goes down by an amount that exceeds the premium of the option, then they make money. If the price goes up, then they only lose the option premium, because they can use the call to re-buy the shares to return.

You can either run this strategy repeatedly, using 3-month options, or buy extremely long-term options and keep it open for as long as the options last.

If you become tax resident in Portugal, ie live here more than 183 days per annum, you can pay zero tax for 10 years, if you source your income from UK company you have shares in via Dividends. Not sure if Ireland is the same, but probably is, assuming they have a double tax treaty with Portugal and no withholding tax on dividends.

Services like law and accountancy v cheap here. €500k in property investment (home or several apartments) gets you a golden visa so insurance for us, if UK crahes out of EU without a deal. Also private medical insurance remarkably cheap full best cover including dental for famaly of 4 well under €200 per month. Electricity Gas v expensive though pool costs a lot to heat.
I think most Bolts are leases, so it probably works out in the end for GM.
Name some. Seriously, I'm interested in protocol design, so I'll read them. But also, yeah, just declaring that things exist is kind of unhelpful.
Everyone in this thread keeps claiming that the Chinese Room argument is bad. Nobody says why.
I understand this article is probably written for the general audience who may not understand how baffling it is to say Jack Kirby is "finally" getting the recognition he deserves (and probably don't even know who he is to begin with), but it doesn't make it less perplexing to read a headline that intimate he wasn't before.

He was definitely short-changed by Marvel and article takes that up at surface level so,I can't complain that much.

Stan Lee was always the more memorable name and face of the pair, but Batman was also always the face of Batman and Robin, the boy wonder still had plenty of recognition (a couple became other super heroes...one, unfortunately lost his mind). Though I am glad to see the article at least acknowledges Kirby as the titan he was behind the proverbial panels.

He is probably there volunteering because he is passionate about these things. He is most likely the kind of person who takes very good care of his stuff. In addition it can be very frustrating dealing with the general public. Maybe cut the guy a break as he is trying to help. Perhaps if you had handled the situation better instead of feeling attacked it could have been a positive experience all around.
>Science has been the most successful method of inquiry and testing in human history, and yet so many want to take only sips from its cup because they don’t like what it has to say about our lives, our significance, and place in the universe

No one can be certain, unless you are one of those that keep saying a company will go down eventually, one day you will be right.
The article is dated in February.
You can copy some of their solutions. I always did my game UI by manually setting positions and sizes, but it should be easy enough to implement their basic widgets - Padding, Column, Text, Align, etc.
For that you'd want an undergraduate "Introduction to..." type book. I think Cambridge does some good ones but I don't know about this specific topic.

Once you have an overview then you can read and contextualise arguments for particular views.
... also, a short sale doesn’t have a time limit. You can be short as long as you want. However, if prices go up, then the debt in your margin account also goes up, and you might get a “margin call” - either deposit more capital, or close out some leveraged positions.

Margin calls are the nightmare scenarios for short sellers, since they can force you to buy out at the worst possible time.
So clean and beautiful! Paper and blackboards always leave me disappointed when I do graph theory.
You just buy a new short position. Also you can have a short position lasting a minute, an hour, a day, a week, a month.
Oh yes this is it!!

I was trying to remember DARPA Grand Challenge as a possible candidate for one of the DARPA programs to pioneer Computer Vision in self driving vehicles. Also had Sebastian Thrun lingering in my subconscious.

But then thought the real DARPA program that gave us self driving cars must be somewhere in 70's or 80's
My favorite example is a popular German light bulb brand, Osram, which is also known in Poland. In Polish it means roughly "I'll put my excrement [on it]" :P
To be honest that was way too confusing for me to figure out. I am quite a few continents away. As I said, I don't have much of the cultural context.

Apparently 'usury' is anti-Semitic and this was the first time I have heard such a claim. Something tells me that I should not bother finding out why it is or isn't.
Changed to that.
In principle and with some caveats, I support this use of tracking information: it's usually quite specific, it has a very positive efect for law enforcement, it's not a breach of fundamental rights of the suspect as confirmation of the physical location at a certain time is not secret and can be obtained by the police from CCTV cameras, eyewitnesses etc.

The privacy of the bystanders is not significantly reduced if and only if the police will use the specific datadump for the purpose of solving the crime for which the warant has been issued - as opposed to building a massive cross-referenced database from multiple such incidents. I am concerned that a few warrants like 'all information on everybody who was at the Superbowl' would quickly download massive amounts of data from Google to the police.

I think regulation should be enacted that balances the social interest with the private interest, for example, Google could be issued a specific warrant of the type "data on all individuals that were in location X1,T1 and also in X2,T2", and Google should answer only when the query is sufficiently specific to return only a handful of results.
Also there are counter examples of singapore, hong kong, macau and taiwan to show, no, chinese people are not culturally prone to creating a '1984' dystopia.

You can split hairs saying 'it used to be more authoritarian', 'one party has been in power for a long time', or 'it used to be under the nominal control of a western state' since no place is 1:1, but in the end it shows typical chinese people do not want it either.
> but also dramatic improvements in our ability to grow cheap food at a scale

Are those improvements sustainable? Agriculture that is generating high yields from converting very fertile natural ecosystems into deserts and then moving on is almost like eating through fossil resources, only that the timescale for replenishment is a few orders of magnitude closer to being relevant for humanity (but still far or of reach). Failure ecosystems that have been farmed out of existence in antiquity are still as barren as thousand years ago. If you ignore the yields of unsustainable farming, our ability to feed billions looks a lot less rosy.
Changed to that above.

Now I wish I lived near St. Paul! Not only is it named Tin Whiskers Brewing Company, but their beers have electric references in their names and schematic symbols for logos:

I think my favorite names are Barrel Shifter Porter (an oak-aged porter) and Wheatstone Bridge (a wheat beer, of course).

It's worth a visit to that page for anyone interested in clever product names and visuals.

I've never owned but have been in a relatively recent S class. It's personal but the 3 is basically a pretty pure distilled car. If you hate buttons and like symmetry and simplicity they basically took the car to what feels like the logical extreme. Reminiscent of Apple it's a design that shows they agonized over every button and additional degree of freedom for the user.

There is no dashboard, no key, the whole car is controlled through the center console. The only buttons are entirely flush with the surfaces they are on. They don't even have door release handles on the inside the door pops open when you grab and depress the button flush on the handlebar to exit. Rip the steering wheel out and there is no longer a clear driver's seat just two symmetric front passengers. I find the design refreshing enough and the torque of the engine responsive enough (with no transmission pullback) to say it outweighs other potential creature comforts on a feature level. My last car was a BRZ and I don't miss it too much :)
Neutrinos are no longer considered to be 'dark matter'.

According to the previously mentioned Bloomberg tracker, Tesla built 5,933 in January and February. Tesla is selling and delivering the Model 3 as fast as they can built them. GM delivered 2,601 Bolts in January and February.

Choosing January and February is not cherry picking because Tesla is ramping up production of the Model 3. That said, I acknowledge that the Bolt may have some seasonal effect that greatly increased sales at the end of last year when compared to the beginning of this year. Let's expand the January-February window back another month to account for that. We get 6,993 Model 3s versus 5,828 Bolts. No longer over 2x but still clearly outselling the Bolt.
This is probably one of the cons of using VPN. If criminal used VPN service that you happen to use and connect to the same node, expect police to read your emails, courtesy of Google.

I'm still in the process of getting off google mail and switching to Proton. It takes time to go thru all my google emails and clean them up. Yes I know deleting them won't change a thing BUT at least I consent to deleting them on my end, versus merely abandoning my mailbox altogether.

I know Google has capacity to keep all emails forever, but whether they do so or delete them after X amount of years, I don't know.
