> They don’t “profit from your country” - they have users who live in your country.

Which they make money from -- in fact quite a few companies make more money from a given Australian than other markets[1] meaning that they are profiting more off Australians (even for online services -- like Adobe that charged AU$1400 more for their software in Australia).

If a company wishes to sell books in Australia, they have to pay Australian taxes. But if you sell online services, all of a sudden everyone starts talking about the destruction of a free and open internet. If a company selling a service is willing and has the ability to "destroy the free and open internet" through IP blocks if they are asked to pay taxes for the money they make off foreign markets, then ask yourself -- how free is the internet in the first place if that is all it takes to destroy it?

You don't pay taxes if you don't make money. I don't understand what you're trying to argue against here.

> but it’s crazy to say that you should have to pay taxes to a foreign government just because someone under that government uses your website.

It's not about usage, it's about profit. If you're making a profit by providing services to people in a foreign market, you have now made money in a way where society requires that you pay taxes on your profit. Most countries have bilateral tax agreements to avoid double taxation, so if a company pays tax in $countryA they only have to pay the excess in $countryB. Those agreements exist explicitly to facilitate the ability to do business overseas.

Not to mention that many of these companies are incorporated in foreign countries as well, which means that they aren't even foreign entities at that point. They're just ordinary Australian companies that don't pay tax.

> In the long run, if this rhetoric you’re advocating is successful (that if you touch anything somehow related to a government over the internet then you owe them a cut and have to follow their local rules), you can say goodbye to the open, global internet.

I hate to break it to you, but you already have to follow the law of countries that you do business with. If you host certain kinds of hate speech, you are not permitted to provide access to said hate speech in Germany (even if legal in your country). If you host certain kinds of pornography, you are not permitted to provide access to said pornography in other countries (even if legal in your country). And so on. Will you be extradited for breaking those laws? Maybe not, but that doesn't make it any less illegal.

I understand the whole "anti-regulation" view that some US folks have (and I agree that many laws regarding the internet are very troubling), but pretending as though companies should be allowed to make money in a foreign market without paying tax just because their company happens to involve the internet is pretty odd to me.

India was the worlds 2nd largest population in 1000 (60m), 2nd largest in 1500 (90m), the 2nd largest in 1700 (160m), the 2nd largest in 1900 (330m), and the 2nd largest today.

It had 19% of the population in 1000; 20% in 1500; and 17.5% today.

And you say that last part is someone elses fault. What surprise that the worlds 2nd largest population for over 1000 years would be the 2nd largest today... with nearly exactly the same percent of the world population it had over 1000 years ago. Clearly some outside force has caused India to grow from 2nd largest in the world a 1000 years ago all the way up to 2nd largest today. What else could explain it? /s

Do you realize that the US from 1900 to today has had a higher growth rate than India? 428% vs 401%
I doubt the effect is anywhere near large enough to be satisfactory for people who want to transition.
There's no substitute for hard work. Of course, working hard is not enough. You have to work smartly
I have 10k+ rep on stackoverflow. IMO a lot of the 'low-quality' questions are some of the most valuable. Often the question contains not a clear description of the problem (which the asker doesn't have), but a seemingly nondescriptive error message, which happens to be commonly causes by maybe 1, 2 or 3 different things. The brilliant thing about stackoverflow is that it can capture someone else's hard won (e.g. throughba detailed debugging session) knowledge about the issue.

I agree with the moderation being overzealous, although with the caveat that this is difficult problem solely due to the size of thw community.
Look at the chart, the numbers are correct, everything grows (in large amounts).
We are about to double the amount of fossil fueled cars in the next 10-15 years.
It will not matter how much solar we install if we keep increasing our fossil burning (as we will).
In fact, we use other sources of energy than oil to extract and refine the oil.

We are terribly addicted to oil.
One could say we sold our mother (Earth) for a shot of hubris.
It took us to the Moon and the stars. It gives and it takes lives, one could think we are dealing with the Devil.

For each day we do not decrease our fossil fuel use nothing will make a difference, the fact is that the Earth is becoming a worse place for each of those days.
Our culture is not only addicted to oil, there is a bigger picture.
Our culture is dependent on growth, hence the addiction to energy, all kinds of energy.
We will go on this way, no matter what, for as long as we can.
They also say that gynecomastia is rare, which is not true.
> Changes in material culture usually do indicate large-scale population movements.

I wasn’t trying to contradict this, rather that the any genetic migration correlated with a culture/language migration would have likely trailed significantly speed wise and should be demonstrated, not assumed. I am certainly not arguing for a lack of conflict :)
The part of mixed consume patterns is something I missed. With the high number I disregarded poly drug use. I expected them to be negligibly in the number of death. But apparently with availability comes the category of occasional consumers.

Up until now my picture of opioid addicts was people with daily consumption patterns. Even with an increasing tolerance I didnt think accidental overdose deaths were a common phenomenon for an addict.

I thought the matter of unsafe consumption in form of injection and co is a matter for first time users of a specific product. Otherwise an addict know the dosage quite well.

That said, it will be a problem of hard to dose substances. Changing the ingestion method of for example transdermal fentanyl gets you killed quickly if you cant measure the dosage for the extremely small margin of error with improper measurement tools. I assume it will be similar with the other products on the list.

Thanks a lot for the input and the different perspective.
From Codeplay's blogs it seems they ported the tensor part of Eigen to SyCL. The Matrix part is not supported under SyCL.
Tensorflow does have options to compile models to custom code (XLA), that part might not use Eigen.
"Except, it does work. I've found many closed opinion questions to be just the info I was looking for."

Same for me. I think it is not wise to expect your users to be that fanatics, that they can't recommend any tool, without starting a flame war all the time.
I mean there certainly are fanatics on the internet who fight with religious passion about the weirdest things, but I believe they are not the majority.

So just banning something that might cause trouble, but loosing all the benefits, I think was not a good decision.

But apart from that, I found lots of help on SO. But like others, not so much anymore, but mostly simply because I rarely need to look up things and the problems I do have are too obscure, for the main users, which are the target group, so I solve them by other means.
"the structural engineer's trade is no different than any other construction trade"

Can you name these? Because that statement is false if interpreted literally.
The best thing about high end professional cameras is low noise, faster and more reliable autofocus, and outstanding low light performance. In good light there's little difference between a cheap prosumer model and a high-end pro model. But try shooting a scene in candlelight or star light, and the difference is stark.

Ease of use also matters. Prosumer cameras often have a single rotary that has to be switched between aperture and shutter. Pro cameras have separate rotaries, which is much easier to work with.

I've always been fascinated by the way that consumer and prosumer equipment is often harder to use than true professional equipment. Pro-grade tools usually just work. Even when there are plenty of options, the workflow is usually intuitive and straightforward.

Consumer gear often adds consumer crappiness - special modes for taking ski photos or food shots in a consumer camera. if you know what you're doing, this reliably gets in the way. And if you don't know what you're doing, you probably won't know how to select the special "helpful" presets anyway.

I used to own one of these, which is supposed to be a beginner's keyboard:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf61mYDtt64

It made some decent sounds, but it was incredibly awkward to use, with a baffling combination of hidden settings, obscure button sequences, and bizarre features.

So personally I've always wanted the absolute best tools I can get. I get very, very frustrated with tools that don't work properly or get in the way, irrespective of price.
It seemed to me that most writings in philosophy are so verbose that it is hard to see what core patterns there are. Philosophers can make whatever excuses they’d like, but the fact is that if your elegant theory needs a hundred pages of prose (without section titles!) to be expressed, it is not an elegant theory.

And inevitably the theory will be reduced to a paragraph or less anyhow when it is cited as existing work by future scholars.

If I were being cynical I would say that this verbosity creates a maze in which one can hide from criticism.

I definitely saw some very interesting ideas while learning about philosophy, but I agree with you 100%. I think they’re holding themselves back through constant re-elaboration; you can’t build a tower out of dry sand.
# Solution for issue #1 (shitty product buyers):

I think you should charge (if you're not already) for the repairs. This is just to 1) make sure you get paid for your effort and keep it sustainable or grow, 2) that we're accounting for the value of your time/effort

Why?:
This will fix the issues of effort in fixing a bike lamp. However, it is also possible that some widget is cheap and broken but the customer is willing to pay your repair fee (i.e. rational choice) because:

1. Repair parts for this item are no more made or difficult to get

2. the next best alternative is more expensive

1. the better quality one is way too expensive or beyond their budget at least

2. this needs to be cheap because you use it roughly (eg:workout earphones) or is likely to get lost (a toy)

3. This was given by a loved one or is a gift

Any which way, it makes sense to use the "invisible hand of the market" here because the preferences of your customer are difficult to find - let them decide.
Well, RedisGraph is an open source project, you can browse its repository at https://github.com/RedisLabsModules/redis-graph

Although the work which will be presented at Redis Conf has yet to be published.
thought I'd repost given recent interest on HN in conflict of interest - rather than looking at impact of payments on specific medications, we wanted to see how much payments distort prescribing costs overall. The variation in impact across specialties was particularly notable (to me).
@Petilon works at google maybe? (Joking of course!)
Because I find the business world to be incredibly boring. Founding a company would be just about the last thing I'd be interested in.

Anyway, worker-owned and run businesses already exist. You don't need me to show you.
That seems as anachronistic as the second amendment. The US military has its own logistics, and that's an understatement. 45 C-5, 222 C-17, 333 C-130. It's nothing but a pretext to protect domestic companies instead of doing what's best for the citizens.
Going into the microservice aspect above, it provides a nice abstraction of remote function calls, so that you can write microservice code that looks like it's executing a local function, but is really just expecting a remote server to implement the method name. In general, that's just RPC calls though. Google's implementation has proven very intuitive to learn, and has a nice size community online for help debugging, etc.

Does this mean anything for http2, specifically anything for support for http2 upstreams? I would imagine that’s was a necessity to support for grpc so any way that will come to generic http2 as well?

Does that actually work? You're still parting with $X after all.
A Framework for Developing and Evaluating New Technology Concepts
The fact that HIP exists is why we choose cuda for our program 8 years ago. Opencl and cuda were the choices. I thought about how I would design such a gpu language aND then looked at cuda and opencl. What I dreamt up matched cuda exactly. I forsake one day that it would no longer matter what you wrote in cuda because it could be easily translated to any type of gpu hardware. In the past few years, Portland group made cuda do cpu compiler and now HIP.
I wonder why most animals that are still alive look relatively non-alien to us. A lot of animals from the Cambrian Explosion look extremely weird. Is there some underlying aesthetic principle that is somehow encoded in our brains that is related to what it means to exist in our ecosystem?
Bingo, knowing the location of each phone at all times is intrinsic to how the cellular network works.

The interesting question here is why law enforcement is going to Google instead of the cellular network providers directly? By definition, they're missing out on data from all non-Android phones.
The overtime claim csme up a whule ago already and back then I could not find a supporting source. There was a payment negotiation shortly after Grohmann was bought, but thay did not seem out of the ordinary, either. Remember that Grohmann is a German company operating under German law, which is very different from U.S. labor laws.

Does anyone know why there seem to be so many more estrogenic substances compared to androgenic substances, in our everyday lives?

It seems a bit unfair ...
While that may be making that user feel better, it will frustrate every one who is looking for a good question to answer and sees something without any down votes... and sees it to be a poor question.

Close votes only impact the ability to answer a question. If the question is improved while it is closed, it goes back in the reopen review queue and people can then take time to reopen.

A question that is closed before it gets the "try {some code}" answers that are wrong comes out ahead if the person asking the question is able to improve it... at which point it can get reopened through the existing processes.

Poor questions go in the triage queue first. Questions that are deemed that can be improved then go to the help and improvement queue. Those questions are hidden from the general site for some time.

That functionality exists already in those queues. You just have to use it. When those queues fill up, poor questions can indeed spill over into the main site. Go to https://stackoverflow.com/review/triage/stats and review (remember that "needs editing" means that you are capable of editing it into a good question) and https://stackoverflow.com/review/helper/stats

Latency-sensitive / chatty microservices can benefit greatly. Some of this is by nature of http2 but it’s extended by protocol buffer packaging of messages and other client smarts. Inter-service comms is where this popped onto my radar recently.
Wow, these days I see so many people who "know" India on the internet. I'm starting to get to know how the US folk feel, where every other YouTube channel caters to them or when many websites (or at least the ones I visit) assume you're from the US.
Rising Anxiety Among American Whites
Interesting. I’ve mistakenly assumed that there is a relative difference between formal and informal counterparts. Considering the extreme informality of Eastern Asian languages, I didn’t think their formal language was on the opposite end of the spectrum.
A better link:

“Since there was no identifiable cause for prepubertal gynecomastia in the three patients we reported, we speculated that environmental factors might be contributing to their condition. Together, the case histories and NIEHS in vitro studies provide support for our hypothesis that topical exposure to lavender and tea tree oils likely caused gynecomastia in the three patients.”

The landing page is a bit disappointing in that regard. I'd rather see example programs for listening on a socket or setting up a piped parent/child pair than computing Fibonacci numbers. I guess the fib_loop example at least demonstrates that mutable state is readily accessible (not what you'd necessarily expect in a Haskell eDSL), but I think for a domain-specific language it would be better salesmanship to demonstrate a domain-related task.
Okay, that's a good point.
The GDP was relative, so even if the pie did get larger it doesn't mean the ratio couldn't go down.

"Manufacturing gross output and value added shares of the economy declined steadily between 1997 and 2013, as shown in Figure A. One reason for this decline is the rapid growth of manufactured imports, which have reduced the demand for domestically manufactured goods. Total imports of manufactured goods increased from $744 billion in 1997 to $1.83 trillion in 2014, rising from 8.6 percent of GDP in 1997 to 10.9 percent in 2013. Had it not been for the increase in manufactured imports, and of the U.S. trade deficit in manufactured goods, manufacturing output and GDP would have been significantly higher in 2013"

There's more being alleged here than another country merely "buying ads" for a candidate. That in and of itself is neither illegal nor unethical. I'm probably more laissez-faire about that then many people ... I wouldn't care if the 50 cent army posted here so long as they were up front about their affiliations. I don't object to the attempt to sway people to one or another point of view, I object to doing so through duplicitous means.

You may be correct in implying that one side is using partisanship to fuel interest in what is, objectively (I believe,) a legitimate concern. But why is the other side is so adamant to dismiss those concerns, regardless of their legitimacy?

It shouldn't matter either way, either there's fire or there isn't.
> to review any decision manually that people complain about, that is significantly limiting. It means you can only write software to do things humans can do

So are you happy with a black box that just says "computer says no" without any explanation or way to review this decision?

If you want to have a set of globally defined types and/or language-independent types to share between your various programs or services, gRPC and Protobufs are a good option.

Also, anywhere that you might use RPC you could use gRPC. It has a compact wire format and is pretty user-friendly as far as designing your RPC req/rep types.
Even if checked bags was free. And somehow there wasn't the precedent of damage.

I can’t help but wonder about the overlap between US regions with high opioid use rates and US regions with high suicide rates.

I don’t doubt the incentives in the article contribute to the issue, but I wonder how we can account for the regional discrepancies.
Data Science will become a scam and the term "data science" already has weak connotations because of trying to think pieces like this that are really saying nothing and are loaded with uninsightful business speak. It doesn't help that data science people like to give themselves nonsensical titles like "Leader of exponential change Using data and analytics"
I don't know about the validity if the science, but what they're claiming is that it only affects pre-pubescent & pubescent boys.

So, no help for most trans people.
Did I crack the time travel function? Are you me from the future sent back to save me? Im looking at my case full of metal bound, cover themed, professional looking, etc notebooks that has grown quite absurd. If I’m honest with myself everything I’ve built in the last decade has come from the post it notes I have scrawled everywhere.

I’m going to grab one and make my shopping list right now. Thank you kind stranger.
Unsure if I'm misunderstanding the question, but yes. I'm not sure of the value of it long term, but we seem to have a large share of readers who use the Web version instead of the email.
This :

>>> The information provided should, however, be meaningful to the data subject.

Although non binding, this makes the intent very clear. "AI: you have been refused insurance. Me : Why ? Insurer : Because our AI has reached that conclusion based on these data : X,Y,Z". Looks perfectly fine to me. Because with enough explanations like this, we can form an opinion about how the AI is working, which in turn will allow to balance the powers between me and the insurer some more. That looks good and balanced to me (notice that this argument doesn't consider the cost of implementation of GDPR, just the way the intereste of parties are better balanced)
computer based pers. judgment is better? Who's the judge in that? A human? This is a paradox.
Tesla (like SpaceX) provides unique incentives to experienced people in their relevant fields. Here's an opportunity to greenfield not just a product, but an entire system and process! In these fields dominated by large incumbent companies with lots of process, history, and yes, cruft in place, it can be hard to fulfill the itch of 'doing it from scratch, and doing it right'.

By the time the Model 3 preplanning should have been in place, it was obvious enough that Tesla is short term here to stay. You're talking about probably 2 years of job security. I feel like thats enough for many of the less risk adverse (who will probably those who are itching for greenfield) employees to consider leaving.
