I think the point is: imagine government banned bars, because some percentage of rapes involve perpetrators stalking victims in bars and getting them drunk.
Couldn't agree more. I do think there's a sense of competition that can breed that working all night/available all night mentality, but I find that if I can actually focus 6 hours a day on being productive I'm outperforming those people that are emailing at 9pm, and I think that actually makes me look better to those above me. I have only my own career progression as evidence there, but comparing the years when I tried to be an all night go getter to the years I strictly cut off my work day at the end, I am more respected and more performant with the latter.
Wonderful paper, and also makes sense intuitively that models that perform well on out of training samples, would have a more distributed internal representation, and single neurons would be less important. The “money plot” in the article shows that the most damaging neurons to remove are the least specific.

More training data, make the size of the model as small as possible - something I have done since the late 1980s. Not only are neural network engineering techniques rapidly improving, but so is our intuition into how they work.

My "main" account has been disable for years. I have a secondary facebook profile that i used to use like once a month to keep in contact with maybe 4-5 friends (as in facebook friends) and many others via a group that we have in common.

Since I moved in my current city about 5-6 years ago, there was no connection to my previous city. Yet Facebook managed to understand who one of my cousins was and suggested I added it as friend. SCARY.

Your comment is somewhat out of place in this case; Firefox ESR 52 is the current up-to-date ESR¹ release. Firefox ESR is kept up-to-date with security patches, just like the vanilla evergreen Firefox. The difference is that the ESR is branched yearly from the main-line, and leaves out all functional patches — only security patches get applied.

This helps organizations who want to test all their tools before moving to a new version. The next ESR release (Firefox ESR 60) will be this summer.

Here is how it worked:

Bain Capital decides to acquire Toys-R-Us so they set-up NewToyCo and invest $5B in it.

NewToyCo buys Toys-R-Us with that $5B and installs new managers at Toys-R-Us. Since the invested cash was investment and not a loan, NewToyCo owns Toys-R-Us free and clear

The new managers of Toys-R-Us get a $5B loan from banks secured by the assets of Toys-R-Us and pay a one time $5B dividend to shareholders of NewToyCo.

If everything goes well and Toys-R-Us can service the loan, Bain owns Toys-R-Us for free and sells it or takes it public. If things don't work out, they collected huge management consulting fees for s few years. Bain ran this exact same play on KB Toys with the same (bankruptcy) result.
For a company to design a policy as a method of avoiding risk, they don’t have to believe that’s how it should work, but rather just that it’s plausible. My point is that, like you said, we don’t know: we can only guess.

I've got emotional reading this. Couldn't help it. My best friend had a brother who had a severe CP (Cerebral palsy).He required a wheelchair and had significant challenges in accomplishing daily activities.
He was 20 when I first met him and my first reaction was to cry, because I saw how much his family loved him and how much joy he showed when his mom or sister talked to him and I felt sorry he couldn't enjoy the life the way I did. So I did the least I could and I talked to him and told him my stories every time I visited. I still felt bad though, because his acquaintances were limited to his sister's and mom's friends and he couldn't socialize. Unfortunately he passed away at age of 25.
We definitely need to come up with some effective ways to raise the awareness and change people's attitude towards this subject. I know I will teach my kids to treat people equally, but the situation nowadays is devastating, especially in the developing countries. I really hope this will change in my lifetime.
> And the solution to toxic ingredients in food is to make everyone a competent chemist who can analyze the stuff they buy?

Well, you obviously don't have to be a competent chemist to buy healthy food in the same way that you don't have to be a journalist or experienced intelligence agent to conclude that Hillary Clinton probably doesn't run a child pornography organization from the basement of a pizza joint.

There's a baseline of minimum media literacy, or food buying skills, you're expected to exhibit and proper education helps to meet and exceed that threshold.

Additionally and in contrast to toxic ingredients, thruthful journalismus often isn't a clear, binary conclusion - it's hard to regulate a problem that is open to interpretation and operates with blurring lines, gray areas, deceiving narratives and ommitted details. I think it's an issue that can't be regulated away and suggest that we find ways to make it less effective by reaching an audience that is able to question those narratives.
The most compelling argument is that Reddit and Youtube cannot pretend to be content agnostic hosts if they are actively censoring. Either they take responsibility for their content or not.
Sorry my misunderstanding. We are focusing on aggregating events from as many sources as we can but have no way to publish them yet. As mentioned Eventbright is good for free ticketed activities(and we show all of those as well).
It's about time people realize that platforms like YouTube are private publishers. They have full discretion to remove or editorialize content, and there's no expectation of free speech.

Expecting YouTube to keep hosting something because of First Amendment rights is as absurd as expecting a printing press to print your pamphlets for free.

it's unfortunate that the 1st amendment doesn't extend to companies. they can freely remove content their community is currently witchhunting. But its okay since that's how our constitution wanted it, government cannot discriminate but for private business it doesn't matter.
> There's also sites that "only work on Chrome" just like they once "only worked on IE".

IMO, this is the heart of the matter. And the only evidence I've seen that Google is pushing that agenda is their "works better with Chrome" and bundling campaigns.

But even if Google didn't do that the problem of only-works-with websites would likely remain because of website makers. Supporting only one browser is cheaper. And it's likely there will always be one dominant browser.

My guess is the only way a responsible yet massively popular browser could prevent the only-works-with problem would be to drop the user agent identifiers. Long term it may even need to sometimes spoof behaviors of its competition. Of course Google being the dominant search crawler they could also use that to leverage a more standardized and interoperable web.
e.g. My U2F tokens only authenticate me to GMail if I'm using Chrome.

It is not the hardware you need to spend the most on... It is to the inflated cost of apps, like Oxford Dictionary, etc that charge more due to the Apple Tax. The lower cost of the iPad is not enough incentive for us to upgrade any time soon.
I understand the "Lazarus" reference. I just don't understand how the death of someone who hasn't been involved in the company for 20 years would presage anything about its future.
Working long hours in an office job has nothing to do with productivity; it's an abstract form of signaling your commitment to the job.

These services already exist on the dark web and motivated users will migrate there instead. I think I'm neutral positive -- if this makes very public websites more accountable for their content that's fine. If you still want to pursue your ventures, devious or not, all you need to do is get the tools and knowledge to access the dark web. There's no doubt in my mind that the web we used to know has been taken over by politics and corporations --
the worst of cocktails. So here we are, the dark web is now the free web, and the free web is the corporate web. For me it will make no difference, I'll still have access to both, but for the uninitiated they will go from surfing the web to serfing the web.

I don't think they are exporting all their data about us.

Because the calls were not between that person, they were between two other people, that's kind of personal information that should only have been exported to the parties involved? Privacy and all that good stuff.

I think if I were in high school today, I would today feel exactly the same as I did in 7th grade about Apple products. John Dvorak wrote an article that Apple machines were basically Cuisinarts and I thought the class was to teach me about computers. Everything was a captive garden and in 20-some years, all that has changed is that the garden is pretty.

At least with a Chromebook, there is a gate that you can open if you want. The Crouton project allows anyone to install a full OS. The best part is that if it gets broken, there is no danger or punishment. Just reset and everything is back to default and your files come back. Get good at it and then it is probably time for a real computer...
Haha this is wrong time of day to assume everyone is American.

What I find interesting is that this is now becoming more noticed by other people. We've had a whole bunch of non-tech people at my company start complaining about Slack's sluggish performance, connection drops, the fact that it makes other things on their machine unusable, that kind of stuff.

I would like to think this means there will be a bit of a change going forward.

How much cheaper are Chromebooks? Education iPads are $300, to my naive self it doesn’t seem like there is a lot of room for a decent laptop to be much cheaper.
At the risk of sounding grumpy, this is not someting that should be in a browser IMO. Browsers have become monstrosities that only a few giants can maintain, by including everything and the kitchen sink.

Face detection is a perfect example of what should be a plugin. I'm not saying it has to be a horrible old school NPAPI plugin. It could be a sandboxed app, it could be a WebAssembly library, and so on.

Edit: nothing against the OP's post, it's probably cool although I cannot test it on this PC :-)
> In addition to relaxing during long holidays, the medieval peasant took his sweet time eating meals, and the day often included time for an afternoon snooze.

I have serious doubts about this. Maybe someone could provide additional insight. I doubt all time not working the fields was "relaxing during long holidays". It would likely be spent on other chores.

Food was likely not plentiful (when it is, population explodes), so quaffing ale for a week is not impossible for a rich wedding, but unlikely in general. In my childhood I lived near rural areas (not US) and in the days when farm hands cannot do anything (rain; off season) they tend to just get drunk which, to me, hardly qualifies as a vacation time.

Bottom line: I would not want to swap positions with the 14th century peasant and I suspect the author would not want to, either.

No, because you learn a lot through each process that ends in "failure".
to be fair, this is not an electron issue as vscode runs fine on all platforms. I don't really want to bash the devs but... Maybe they should take a look at it.
You can do digital pen markup on any number of stylus equipped Chromebooks using any of the excellent Android or Chrome apps for note taking and markup. Check out Keep, Squid, Google Classroom for Android, MyScript. There's even a handwiring mode on the soft keyboard that comes up if you flip them around to tablet mode.

The feature is not just on the Pixel book. It's also in the $400 Samsung Chromebook Plus or Asus Chromebook Flip.
Note the significant difference between "leisure time" as in "playing games, socializing and making merry" and just "huddling in a primitive hut waiting for a chance to work more." It's not like he's having much fun (unless you include all the begatting that must have gone on during the winter months...)

I'm really lucky that I don't generally want more things, and the things I do want are cheap. Living in the future is freaking amazing if you enjoy making things.

Not only is it that, but it is also a harsh lesson in how technology is value neutral--it can be used to enslave just as easily as it can free. And companies like Google are all too happy to make China the baseline for the world because Google works at the behest of unelected intelligence community bureaucrats who are doing their best to overthrow the US right now.

The world needs an enema.

I quickly abandoned the slack "App", but even dedicating a chromium tab to Slack ended up being absurdly heavy. So I've finally migrated to weechat+weechat slack plugin. For a moment I thought I was too late, as slack is killing the xmpp and irc bridges - but the dedicated slack plugin for weechat uses the slack api.

As an added bonus, there are no more animated emojis in my peripheral vision that can be mistaken for an update / alert.

I'm on Linux, but I presume wc works fine on Mac. A bit of a shame that the qt-based client seems abandoned - but it's open source and python so maybe it'll pick up some steam for those that want something a bit less console only, but still not Web app crappy.

I imagine that both for the console client and the qt one it should be possible to map some of the more common emojis to Unicode (eg :heart:).

Isn't labor productivity measured per-time, though? If there are diminishing marginal returns on labor (as there are on everything else) then it would make sense that those who work the least are the most productive. It doesn't mean they produce the most, though.

Although I'm a firm believer that guns should be illegal to possess outside of licensed shooting ranges, hunting parks, etc, I think enthusiast videos about guns are completely acceptable.

This does smack of Orwell, and it's not only gun culture that appears to be being targeted recently.

I'm also not a conspiratorialist, but it does seem to me there's a concerted effort behind the scenes to "crack down" on free expression generally - not just youtube acting alone, but many entities acting similarly, and obviously completely un-democratically or accountably.

No thanks.
By "all modern people", you apparently mean the relatively small group of middle-class professionals who can earn a decent salary on a shorter working week, and are in a position to negotiate it.

There is a far larger group of people working in low-skilled jobs whose entire salary is not enough to cover their outgoings, and must also rely on consumer debt and government assistance to support themselves and their families (think Walmart workers on foodstamps). What's more, the balance of power with their employer is such that they have absolutely no leverage to negotiate shorter working hours, even if they wanted to. A low-skilled worker is expected to be at the beck and call of their employer up to, and often beyond, the legal limit of work. When you can be fired from a job you've held for years for being 30 seconds late, you're not going to get far asking to work two less days a week.

It's nice that you were able to arrange an easier lifestyle for yourself, but don't mistake your privileged situation for the norm.

I will never understand why they don't just rebrand the Macbook Air as just the Macbook... The new Macbooks look ridiculous to me. They look more like something that could be called the Macbook Air instead. They should swap the names. And if they did that and THEN got rid of the Macbook Airs (currently the Macbooks) I would not be bothered by that. I think Macbooks are hideus compared to how nice they used to look before they discontinued them. But that's beside the point. I hope they figure this simple trick out. It would make their line up way better. Not like they haven't changed their OS name already.
