> So if you’re going to criticize capitalism, you should criticize it as an institution.

This doesn't have anything to do with capitalism. Any political or economical system that has institutionalized roles will have the same conflicts between duty and personal principles.

And history shows us, in fact, that capitalism has much fewer of such conflicts than any alternative.

Thank you.

We seem to have a problem with "something like" in this thread.

Not talking about literal baskets or literally growing strawberries like olives. Those are just examples of different growth form factors that 1) allow automation and 2) clearly show the strawberries on the outside.

Just a bit of a rant. If everything has to be explicit robots are going to take your jobs kids. Need to be able to think in general principals to stay safe from that.
stereo cameras only give two viewpoints, it requires a lot of processing power to re-create the 3d scene. a lightfield gives you much more information making reconstruction much simpler.

You can also see past occlusions, something not possible with stereo.
One of the best and earliest uses of VR, long before Vive or Oculus or the rest came around, was for treating vets with PTSD. The technology was more or less indistinguishable from entertainment, apart from its application.

Point being, don’t judge this without knowing more.
No doubt some logistical issues would need to be sorted out, like say, grace periods until a law is reviewed. Enforcement via an internal prosecutors office might be possible.

I can't claim to have all the details figured out, but it's not an absurd possibility off the bat. The scope and deliberate impenetrability of the law is a serious problem that I think will only grow worse over time.
Also to add to that, when I travel for my job, or just travel in general, I sometimes have one-off meetups with people I haven't seen in ages.

They tell you why you failed when the test is over. And it was because of that.
Just a consideration (I am mathematician, but have nothing to do with signal processing or its mathematics; so don't overestimate my knowledge in this area):

Let us consider a periodic signal (though, I believe, this assumption can be weakened). If we have to assume that all frequencies from the inverse of the period length up to the Nyquist frequency might occur in the signal, the sampling theorem gives us the information that we need.

Now some "practical" consideration: Assume that the signal that we want to sample is very "well-behaved", e.g. we know that lots of its low frequencies are 0 or near 0 (or in general have some other equation that tells us "how the signal has to look like"). So if we reconstruct the frequencies of the signal, but in these Fourier coeficients some other value than 0 appears, we know that it has to come from "noise" that originates in some higher frequency above the Nyquist frequency.

My mathematical intuition tells me that it is plausible that such a trick might be used to reconstruct signal exactly even if we sample with less than than 2 times the highest occuring frequency. Why? Because we know more about the signal than what sampling theorem assumes. So a "wrong" reconstruction for which the sampling theorem can show its existence if there occurs a frequency higher than the Nyquist frequency is not important for us, since we can plausibly show that this signal cannot have 0s in the "excluded low frequencies" Fourier coefficients.

This would explain to me why such an impossible looking algorithm works so well in practice.

It it very plausible to me that such a trick is already used somewhere in engineering.

If there is, say, a high-quality AGPL hash-table implementation, and I combine that into my TCP stack, the resulting work is AGPL, sure. But I can't actually use the TCP stack - I have no way to make source code available to people who connect to my TCP stack. There's no TCP option for a URL for source code.

So, I cannot run the program as I wish for any purpose. I can run it for limited purposes: those where there is no network interaction, and those where the network interaction is rich enough to support offering source code.
Yep. Creating an issue.
I fail to see how this negates anything in that passage that you quoted. In what way can the jury be stacked for or against you, premeditatively?

"You could afford to give people a day off, you know. Afternoons off, holidays off. If you have machines behind you."

One of the major issues I have with discussions around automation is that they always look at it from either the point of economics or the point of technology.

Those are important perspectives but we tend to look back in history to determine what will happen in the future.

If technology keeps progressing and economics keep making it cheaper and cheaper to do more then the real question is where does that really leave humans. Our advances as a species is by the invention of new technologies which has allowed us to store more and more knowledge/information/data from trial and error in the past while at the same time allowed us to spend less and less time on surviving. In other words, human ingenuity and advances are based on the technology.

What many seem to forget is that once AI learn to pick strawberries it has learned a lot of other things too which can be applied to other industries/tasks and it's instantly applicable (no need to retrain workforce). In other words each step forward isn't isolated to the area that the AI is learning about it allows for the advance of technology in a number of areas.

And so here is the problem.

Human progress has historically followed the progress of technology which was fine as long as it made many things easier. Human ingenuity helped us keep adapting and venture into new areas. But what we are increasingly facing is technological ingenuity.

A good example of that is:
https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6368815...

In other words, the one thing we had over technology doesn't even seem to be out of it's reach cause while technology is progressing we aren't.
I don't know why, but NTFS metadata performance just was never very good. I always assumed that was due to the more complex/capable data model compared to what Linux usually uses, but I'm not so sure about that any more given the complexity and yet still better performance of ZFS (btrfs remains too much of a mixed bag to mention here).

However, poor or bad applications also play a role here. For some reason explorer.exe requires 1-2 orders of magnitude more I/O time than dir.exe, and somehow the local search is slower than a human binary search. However they managed to do that bad of a job remains a mystery.
Yeah, we deploy containerized Jenkins environments for almost 100 teams on VM's running Docker. These are massive heap containers (20+GB in some cases). Probably not the best use of Docker, but we actually are doing pretty good. Working towards migrating to an OpenShift environment and then evaluating some new tech from CloudBees in this area.
We used to say the same thing about Japan back in the 50s. And the British said the same thing about America in the 1850s. And it was totally true both times but successful imitation is hard and the skills to do that lead to the skills needed to innovate.

That's just because the population has been growing (yes, there are 44% more people now in the US since 1980).

The employment ratio of population has steadily dropped. Economists call it the 'labor participation rate', and it has declined quite markedly since ~2000 or so:

http://www.alhambrapartners.com/2018/01/05/the-reluctant-lab...

See the 'Two Labor Stories' chart.

"The lack of labor force growth going on nearly a decade now means that in every likelihood there remains a deep pool of American labor from among which Americans would work if there was any (at the margins) to be hired at a decent rate."

>U.S. colleges & universities spent $536 billion

I'm not sure this is the best number to use. This is what is currently spent, it is not how much we would need to provide a free higher level education option. The entire department of education budget is 70 billion [0]. Using Pennsylvania as a baseline, they have approximately 185 million planned for public education[1]. Let's round that to 200mil and multiply it by 50. This gives us a ballpark spending of 100 billion at the state level. So let's approximate 170 billion spent on K-12 and higher education last year.

We were able to fund our entire K-12 system and give money to public universities for under half that 536 billion figure. So yes, we may not be able to cover our current higher education bill with the defense budget. However, what we are currently doing is not the best or cheapest system. Someone could definitely come up with a free higher education proposal for half of that 536 billion figure. The system needs reformed badly. Everyone knows the costs of higher education are out of control. Using it as the baseline isn't fair IMO.

Also, if you're interoperating with Kotlin, a nullable reference works better than an Optional. A Kotlin nullable reference compiles down to a reference with intellij's @Nullable annotation, and a Kotlin non-nullable reference compiles down to a reference with intellij's @NotNull annotation.

It also works in the opposite direction: a Java parameter or return value annotated as @Nullable (doesn't have to be intellij's, the Kotlin compiler understands several annotation libraries) will appear as a nullable reference to Kotlin code, and a @NotNull or @Nonnull annotation makes it appear as a non-nullable reference.
If one wants to promote anything, explaining what it is on the front page would be essential. I see these omissions in abundance on tech web sites.
Is leakedsource actually gone?

https://leakedsource.ru seems to be up and running - or is it different people?

Well, if you look at the picture in the strawberry basket link I posted you will clearly see the strawberries hanging outside the vine in plain view, solving the problem of strawberries hidden under the leaves that can't be seen by the machine.

"land + baskets". Sigh. See my comment above.
I think it's a bit harsh to say not even close. I think it captures the idea pretty well.

The reason it's not perfect is because of your example, where a signal is not baseband. The extra leap required to understand that is amplitude modulation and demodulation.

Notice that to reconstruct the original signal of your example, you need to know the samples which are collected following the hypothesis of the sampling theorem, and you ALSO need to know the magic frequency 100MHz so that you can shift up your 2kHz bandwidth. That's the same setting as modulation.

The only concept missing, then, is recognizing that sampling can perform demodulation.
Can you explain? It's being pushed heavily as an api spec, api catalog and middleware, and it's notclear to me why we really need it.
I would recommend Prismic.io. They have what I have searched for on anothers services: slices. This allows you to have different block and empower people to use them as they want to create landing pages for instance.
Repeating an assertion doesn't add correctness, regardless of the strength of your imagination.

You are 100% correct that you can execute/link/etc. GPLed code without following the terms of the license when you're not distributing your code. But I'm not referring to distribution. I'm saying that if you were to link your own non-GPLed code to GPLed code _and_ you were to distribute it, your code would not automatically become GPLed code. You would be infringing upon copyright. There are multiple options to stop that infringement which do not involve GPLing your code.
I looked into this a while back and remember about as much. I think it was also in the category of things that was harder to change with legacy addons than it is now.
The freedom to see and modify code if you're not a developer? Bypassing how that would work, it's 99% freedom, as there is still restrictions on what you can do with it. You cannot, for example, package it, call it something else and distribute it without the source. I don't see how that can be called freedom. Either you have the freedom to do whatever you want with the code, or you don't have the freedom. 99% freedom is (for me at least) not good enough.

It's like the license (that I can't remember the name of right now) where you can do whatever you want with the software EXCEPT use it for evil. That's not freedom, freedom is: do whatever you want, literally. At least for me.
It's about end-user freedom, not developer freedom.

It prevents the developer from limiting others' freedoms later.

If upstream uses a permissive license, then a developer can build on it without giving back to the open source part, and anybody using that derivative has lost software freedom.

But a developer can still have nearly complete freedom even with the GPL; they simply must distribute their source under the same license. Not very onerous.
Why L2? So that the Fourier integral is required to converge. But now you know your signal is the sum of periodic signals ;)

I do not see how this article poses a threat of breaking peer review anonymity. The only anonymity broken here is the author's own, only in this particular case, and after the fact. What is the purpose of reviewer anonymity? It protects the reviewer from being pressured into accepting a paper (and to protect science from that happening), which is not a risk here, and it prevents reviews from turning into long-running disputes about the validity of a rejection, but in this case, the issue is one of the authors willfully ignoring objective, valid and significant objections to their work.

Fabric8 has really good base java images[1] with a script that simply sets environment variables with right GC and CPU parameters before launching Java, with nice sane defaults.

Heavily encourage anyone running Java in containers to use their base image, or for larger organizations to create standard base image dockerfiles that set these JVM envvar parameters. A simple contract is: ENTRYPOINT belongs to the base image, CMD belongs to downstream application images (unless something else essential).

Just don't use vanilla "FROM openjdk:8-jre" and expect it to work. That's the worst way to kill application performance and reliability in a container.

Please don’t post blatantly incorrect statements like this.

An app that gets a friend list of a user does not get the same access to each friend as to the authorizing user. This should be obvious; if I agree to allow an app to post on my wall and access my friends list, it doesn’t mean the app can post on my friends’ walls from my friends’ identities.

The only information the FB API returns about the authorizing user’s friends is data those friends have made publicly available. In fact, the friends even have the option to configure their privacy settings to exclude them from any “friend lists” given to apps.

Honestly it’s ridiculous... nothing was breached in the CA scandal. Users authorized access to their data, and any data of other people was publicly available and authorized by TOS or (admittedly opt-out) privacy settings.

If you want to stay private online, maybe don’t use a service with the singular business model of monetizing your data.
It is poorly understood that the strategy in Chinese side is set to position their industry orthogonal to global economy/markets.

They take upon something niche and obscure, but with great promise to give tons of offshoot tech and give breakthrough boosts to existing industry: renewable energy, batteries, rare earth metals, FPGAs, lights-off factories at scale... etc...

They play quiet for few years, before quickly locking down everything when there is zero change anybody catching up to Chinese companies.

Chicoms manage their economy as a single Japanese style conglomerate.

See how it went with renewable, China has a lockdown on the tech,

One thing that surprised me though was that neuroticism was least correlated with all things sports?

This seems to suggest that either neurotic people are somehow uninteresting in sports, or that sports are really good helping you not be neurotic. Maybe the later is predictable as well, but that nothing else is as anti-correlated with neuroticism is still surprising to me.

I think the authors exuberance and self congratulatory sentiments seem misplaced. From the article:

>"HIBP is Becoming the "Go-To" Resource for Protecting Accounts"

No "protecting" accounts" is something that is done internally at the source by companies storing user data. HIBP is offering a service that lets companies do CYA(cover your ass.) Companies can subsequently claim that they "notified" customers by telling them to check an external website. Responsibility is transferred to the customer and a third party.

>"What that means for the industry is "a rising tide lifting all boats"; it's becoming more legitimate for all those doing the right thing with the data."

No, doing the right thing with data is either protecting it or not storing it in the first place. HIPB is reactionary at best. The danger is that these companies with poor to no security practices continue to make no structural changes themselves. They simply use HIPB as a crutch do the least amount of actual work to protect data. This is supported by the following statement:

>"Oftentimes, the first a company knows of a data breach is when I send them their data."

It's hard to read that sentence and believe the author's assertion that "the industry has cleaned a lot/"
