The precautionary principle is not a vademecum — indeed, it can be taken far too far and become an excuse for either unthinking conservatism (banning anything new out of an overabundance of precaution).

Under HAVE BLUE, Lockheed built two manned technology dem- onstrators to validate Lockheed’s pole model results. Even though these test vehicles made use of conventional o -the-shelf compo- nents and subsystems, they were truly revolutionary. Their shap- ing and materials were so important that their impact on aircraft survivability changed the way the U.S. Air Force ghts. Technologies nurtured by DARPA included RCS reduction, RAM development, infrared shielding, reduced visual signatures, low-probability-of- intercept radar, inlet shielding, exhaust cooling and shaping, and other signature reduction disciplines. First ight occurred in April 1977, and both aircraft were tested extensively. Eventually both were lost during ight test mishaps, but the results were clear. On Nov. 16, 1978, Lockheed received a contract for full-scale engineering devel- opment of what would become the F-117.
> Amazon only covered 4% of US retail in 2017.

Where did you get that statistic? Was that before the wholefoods acquisition? That seems very high to me, especially when you consider what retail covers. [1]

> I think it depends on the time scale you look at

Thinking about the time scales provides an interesting perspective. I think the core question is whether or not consolidation is a net positive or net negative for features we want in society (like innovation, freedom of choice, ability to self actualize, efficiency, productivity, etc). Even then it most likely depends on how we weight those feature priorities.

On the other hand, in Canada, a smaller share of the Canadian population live in cities now than did in 2011. Small towns saw the largest growth.

It would appear to me that the efficiencies cities can provide are at odds with the cost of being able to provide sufficient shelter for the people of those cities. The high cost of housing, which is a large concern in Canada's major cities, is pushing people from these cities.

Front end wars: slimjs vs. rest of the world
Many references itemize what properties one gives up with each successive application of the Cayley-Dickson construction:

Complex numbers - lose self-conjugate identity, but satisfies the fundamental theorem of algebra (and can represent 2D points or vectors)

Quaternions - lose commutativity (but can represent 3D rotation, which isn’t commutative)

Octonions - lose associativity, except for each of aab and abb

Sedenions - lose associativity of aab and abb

John Baez’s “This Week's Finds in Mathematical Physics (Week 59)” http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/week59.html concludes with a letter by Toby Bartels explaining why. An excerpt:

I will prove below that the 2^n onions are a division algebra
only if the 2^(n-1) onions are associative.
So, the question becomes: why aren't the octonions associative?
Well, I've found a proof that 2^n onions are associative
only if 2^(n-1) onions are commutative.
So, why aren't the quaternions commutative?
Again, I have a proof that 2^n onions are commutative
only if 2^(n-1) onions equal their own conjugates.
So, why don't the complex numbers equal their own conjugates?
I have a proof that 2^n onions do equal their own conjugates,
but it works only if the 2^(n-1) onions are of characteristic 2.
The real numbers are not of characteristic 2,
so the complex numbers don't equal their own conjugates,
so the quaternions aren't commutative,
so the octonions aren't associative,
so the hexadecanions aren't a division algebra.

The CLOUD Act Doesn’t Help Privacy and Human Rights: It Hurts Them
I’d feel a lot more sympathy for Twitter if they had a functioning sales organisation which would take money. Also an advertising product which worked even a bit. At the moment it is cheaper and gets better results to create bots on their platform than to pay to advertise.

I’m not sure that their incompetence should protect them from taxation.

Think about consumption taxes. They work in a somewhat similar way.
Here on my systems (Ubuntu, Gentoo) electron-quick-start leads to ~90 MB more memory usage and it spawns 4 processes which use 110MB, 74MB, 74MB and 44MB of resident memory. So obviously quite some memory is shared between those and probably other processes on my system, but nevertheless the resulting memory consumption is far above 40 MB.
> Blocking DRM on the web is easy.

It won't be after we expand the powers of plugins to get in underneath the layers you know. You can't block elements or code that you disagree with when there are no elements because everything is a web-canvas or plugin that is rendering underneath you.

Remember when Flash existed? Nobody could block dangerous elements of Flash, it was all or nothing. Why would you ever want to go back to that?

> Frankly consumers would be much better off without DRM in the world.

Great, we agree! So why do you think the powers of DRM should be expanded?
Having public officials on their platform is a benefit to them (network effects), and the marginal cost is as close to zero as to immeasurably different.
I disagree that there is evidence showing it is a necessary aspect of having a society, though. What we have is evidence that societies with tax can function reasonably well, not that societies without tax are not able to function.

It is obvious that any system doing useful work needs resources, and money is a fungible way of representing those resources. However, in my opinion, it is unreasonable to say with certainty that taxation is the uniquely existent solution to this problem or even the best one.

Taxation has an inherent element of force to it, taking forcefully the product of someone's labour to redistribute it to other parties. I would say the element of forced redistribution qualifies it for at least some reasonable definitions of theft (albeit a theft with a good intent, under some definition of "good"). In any case, I am having a hard time drawing a clear line between taxation and, for example, Robin Hood-style redistribution, other than the current governments of the world being recognised as a sanctioned, official, good-enough Robin Hood occupying a local minimum.

Another problem of taxation is the well known market inefficiency of the very act of piling up resources in a central place and then trying to allocate them manually to where they are needed. There is plenty of empirical evidence that systems like this tend to swell in size for no good reason other than serving their own existence.

Tech Companies Try to Retrain the Workers They're Displacing
Previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16608029
If I googled for “what do I need to make psexec to work” and found your answer “just use a completely different tool” I’d be annoyed by it.

“How do I fix my car?” “I find driving a different model works for me” - “good for you, but that doesn’t answer my question”

You say it’s a “completely useless comment”, you want to offer anything that might help, they want to keep stackoverflow focused on specific answers and not being like any other discussion forum where any comment is valid. They’re at odds. But the site design is that you should post your own question “what alternatives to psexec exist” and then get closed because recommendations for tools are off topic.

The site doesn’t want tool recommendations, they are often commercial and they go out of date quickly.

You posted a tool recommendation and it went badly, you’re driven away, apparently that’s the site working as intended. A useless comment that annoyed you and you won’t do it again.

For better or worse.

curating content requires rejecting most of it, but everyone wants to pretend that it doesn’t, and it can be exclusive and also open and welcoming and that seems contradictory to me.

YouTube comments are trash. Sites with comment regulation are hurtful because nobody wants to feel judged as “not good enough” by another group.

If anyone can fix that..
> They may be useful, but none of them is objectively right and can cause religious wars with people downvoting answers about libraries they don't like and massively upvoting their favorite library.

Like many, I find the answers to these "religious" (in fact, they are not, because done properly the answers are supported by arguments) questions to be the most useful content.

In many ways, I can answer the most objective questions myself from the documentation or source code. But what I cannot do this with is distillation of expert knowledge that requires time, and the more distilled it is, the more subjective it is. Subjective doesn't mean unsupportable by facts (experience).
My mind gets tired. It’s very, very difficult to maintain my attention in an orderly fashion. I often start to read something and find I have to put it down from sheer frustration.

That tiredness makes me anxious, and I get even more badly distracted.

Somehow, I do make it through most days.

> I thought it was interesting the same technique (convolution) was used in two different applications: photoshop/gimp for image filters and in convolutional neural networks (CNNs). What is the purpose of convolution in CNNs?

IMO, convolution in CNNs would be better denoted as correlation. In CNNs the feature maps are convolved (correlated), eg swept over the image and multiple at each spot with the results being accumulated, in order to find where in the image these filters fit. The output produces a map of how strongly each filter (there are usually multiple in a convolution layer, that is the third dimension of the layer), fits with the image. These become the weights passed onto the next layers.

As an electrical engineer by training, who used convolution all the time, I didn't understand how the two were related, especially because of the third dimension.

I read this https://adeshpande3.github.io/A-Beginner%27s-Guide-To-Unders... and that lead me to how I understand it today.

Nothing ticks me off more than the drive by downvoters, ninja downvoting anything that could be considered an answer (or question) that violates some meta requirement.

If a downvote cost 10 rep and also took a while to take effect (with any edits in the meantime canceling the downvote effect) I think the site would be a better place.

Especially - when you see a question you should be able to extrapolate what the asker was trying to do.

The idea of a “questions and answers” site is broken to begin with. No one has a question, what we have is a problem, and what the person with a problem needs is a solution not an “answer”.

The best answer to a question (which might be initially best posted as a comment to get clarification if it’s not obvious) is this:

“You are asking how to do X. In this situation I think it would be best to avoid doing X alltogether and to solve your problem which I assume is Y - you should probably try doing Z”

This type of answer invariably gets two things

1. Thank you comment from the asker, for solving the problem

2. Downvotes from nitpicking drive-by moderators for not answering the question

I think it isn't, more like "getting an answer/opinion from an expert" would be more appropriate. I think he is using the word "discuss" in informal meaning of "talking".

And I think that Q&A format of SO is actually quite appropriate for that sort of thing; unlike the usual discussion forums, which may get into real discussion of nuances of expert consensus. (Maybe that's where the cultural misunderstanding about SO comes from, that people actually want a site which will give an expert opinion, more or less, without having to read experts arguing too much?)

Depends on two things:

1. How fast can you get the pointer to the menu?

2. How easy is it to get the right item?

If you have a "large" screen, I would contend that having a dedicated menu button on your mouse/trackpad/trackball/pen is the best possible thing for any user who isn't a complete novice. Don't wave the pointer somewhere else, make the menu come to you.

If you can't do that for whatever reason, then having a high-acceleration pointer that can be flung all the way against an edge is next best. Going back to where you were, though, will be relatively hard.
Every memory access could be limited with some big enough number (just assume that there's no cache in your CPU), so traditional analysis is fine. People usually don't like that memory access is so slow, it's another matter. O(N^2) might be faster than O(NlnN) if multiplier for the latter algorithm is bad enough.

The “software is a team sport” mentality.

At the start of a project, people saying “this needs a team”, even if you can already see a clear path to getting the thing working.

In the middle, “stakeholders” who want to set schedules and define how things are done without adding value.

Once something’s working, others presenting it as incomplete or untrustworthy purely because it’s the work of a lone developer and doesn’t tick some process boxes (and completely regardless of demonstrated capability/stability/etc.)

(This isn’t to say collaboration isn’t the right answer some of the time. But in my experience when it works out, it’s usually arises pretty organically and often has clear boundaries rather than “working on a shared backlog”).
Here's one set of exemptions: https://gdpr-info.eu/art-85-gdpr/
The trick is that architects are often also just commissioned for the project. You work together to make a nice-looking, structurally sound, and not all too expensive design.

I think it is a nice remark :-). Sometimes the design has to make a little concession, sometimes the construction. The best engineers are those that think along and try to find solutions, the best architects have some understanding of what is possible. And often 'everything is possible, it is just going to cost a lot'.
Anti-dumping tariffs are stupid because it not notnto your benefit to punish people for giving you cheap stuff that should be expensive.

That is only true in a very simplistic model. If a country sells for example cheap subsidized steel you may lose your steel production capability because you are not able to compete with that price. But once you lost that capability it may become prohibitively expensive to regain it because the initial costs to rebuild the knowledge and infrastructure is going to be much higher than the marginal costs for an established industry and you would have to accept, at least to some extend, which ever price they ask for. The other country may also be able to offer a lower price due to externalities, for example exploitation of their workers or environmental destruction, and you may want to compensate for that.

> What drives me nuts are askers who either never choose a correct answer,

I sometimes do this when I'm not satisfied with the solutions that pop up in the first couple of days. From my experience the best (in-depth) answers often come from "necromancers". In such cases I want to leave some room for them. Your question will be there for a long time and it might attract people decades from now, I'm not in a hurry with this.
You can however also argue against having such a global menubar with Fitts's Law, as it means that other UI elements can't be placed at the screen edge, such as the min/max/close-buttons (though there are also concepts where those are global, too) and nowadays also browser tabs.
Perhaps a multi-tier system where questions aren’t posted “at the top” for answering directly and moderated down, but instead a first step where the question is treated and discussed without possibility to answer. The community can suggest edits, and upvote it, but not close it. If it’s a duplicate the asker can get some time to explain why it isn’t, or retract it if it is.

If it gets a thumbs up, it qualifies for the regular Q/A where people can answer - and expect a certain quality (and don’t risk spending 20 min writing an answer to a perfectly good question that was closed while the answer was written).

The biggest difference is Bannon wants to break society to that it can be remade as he wants. Classic villain methodology, where the ends justify the means.

That is evil and treasonous.
Attaching an username to every downvote could also fix the situation, makes it impossible to just be negative without any consequence, the very least it allows people who actually want an answer to ping the user(s) downvoting for a reason.
If you look at where most of the world’s wealth is produced and how your worries may be allayed. The US and the EU are almost half of the world economy by themselves. Add Canada and Japanand you’re comfortably above half.

If there are problems caused by economic growth the products of said growth can buy solutions to them.
