Dylan didn't win the Nobel for his songs about faded love, and he won't be remembered for them especially.

Schank is 72 years old. He came to know Dylan when when his protest lyrics gave voice to 20-somethings like Schank in the 60's. Like the rest of us, Schank likely remembers Dylan less for his retrospective years thereafter.
Used to be 90$ ish a month for years. Then they forced us into a promotional thing that ran out. And now the bill is 150$ a month for tv+internet+landline.

I'm so fucking done with Comcast I'm building up a blueprint to help my town get community owned fiber access.

Everything I keep running into says don't. It doesn't work. It costs to much.

I hope it costs to much. I want Comcast to burn in hell for eternity.
In my area, with Cox, they raise the speeds on the upper tiers, but the prices on everything. 10mbps for $43, 30 for $64, 100 for $85, and 300 for $105.

10 is slow enough that I'd have to watch my downloads if my wife or kid were streaming something, and saves just $21/month from the 30 package. When I started using them about 8 years ago, I was single, and my tier was about 15mbps for about $30. I think the lower tier was about 5 for $20. If there were a viable competitor in the area, I'd switch to them for a couple years, then come back to Cox as a new customer and get the discounted rates. No such luck.
I played around with the animation but settled on this one. Might hurt your eyes a bit. But the nested div's is the main takeaway.
Taleb is intellectually dishonest and quite probably a terrible human being. His strategy of making money exploiting anti-intellectual movements to do with agriculture and human nutrition is just abhorrent to me. He transparently and carefully constructs the minimal argument required to garner support from existing, factually misguided activists. Your quote actually highlights the entire problem with his approach. He's a charlatan, making money by identifying exploitable social waves that act against the best interests of society, and lending them his intellectual credit.
A 5% tax levied on everywhere to a lamborghini subsidy policy is regressive. It is important to look at both sides of the equation to make a conclusion.

Thats why you can have a flat tax, and a progressive government by spending for the poorer and levying flat. In fact, a flat tax is probably progressive simply because the rich dont use a multitude of public services the average poor does, like schooling, or healthcare or whatever.

Costs. Construction projects in the U.S. are unbelievably expensive. The 2nd avenue subway is a perfect example. They dug 1.5 miles of tunnel and built 3 stations for $4.5 billion. A fairly comparable project is the Berlin U5 extension. It also has 3 stops and about 1.5 miles of tunnel. It's being done for about $700 million. Lots of people would love to have new transit lines, new computer systems, etc, but the old ones were built when costs were affordable, and often can't be replaced for anything close to their original cost.
Except in China it might be a literal cornfield. Or some other place where you get "reassigned" to slave for the state.
Ignoring Tesla, self driving cars will almost definitely be safer. People die in cars constantly. People don't have to die if companies don't rush the tech to market like Tesla plans to. To be fair, I blame the drivers, but I still think the aggressive marketing pretty much guaranteed someone would be stupid like that, so Tesla should share some of the blame as well.
"just essentially vector algebraic math" -- True, but only in the sense that anything done by a computer is just iterated Boolean logic. Yet, Wikipedia and Grand Theft Auto and Mathematica have emergent properties beyond the obvious things that Boolean logic can do. So the fact that neural networks are based on vector algebra doesn't prove that they aren't capable of impressive things.
To your point, scheduling becomes a principle constraint at a certain point in the hierarchy depending on org structure. It can take MONTHS for 5-10 busy people to find common availability in their schedules to conduct a meeting. If follow up meetings are required, there will be another delay of X months. This slows decision making considerably.
I guess what Python needs to do is to crown one solution as the official, and then start imposing on PyPA packages to convert before a deadline or exclude. Then they can move the non-compliant packages to a legacy archive, and build on the one solution that the community chose, say in a poll. Granted I've only ever interacted pip and virtualenv and though it was simple; but looking at this, things don't have to be this complex.
Ya, I went from 100 to 250, and saw no difference. While my old apartment had 30MB fiber, and damn that was fast, way faster.

Ok, well here's the text of the legislation.

Article 17.1
The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
a) the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;
https://gdpr-info.eu/art-17-gdpr/

If you read further down the page, you come to the section you are quoting, 17.3, which says that the above right from 17.1 does not apply even if one of the conditions in 17.1 is met. However the scenario we are talking about is one where none of those conditions were met in the first place, so we never had to look at 17.3.

You can argue that 17.1.b/c would require an employer to remove any demographic/political data it had stored on you, but absolutely not that it requires the employer to remove the record of your existence at the company.

I'm no JS expert by any stretch but it seems pretty simple to add in code for that here. It'd be a chore to hard-code a big portfolio or one that trades frequently, though.
Flat taxes are regressive. Period. The reason why is because a bigger proportion of the income of the poor must be spent on necessities, so a flat tax rate is going to impact their ability to pay for necessities much more than the same tax rate paid by a rich person.
Technically it is regressive. The flat amount comes out of rent and food on the low end of your tax base, and luxury on the high end.
You could! The only reason not to is if you wanted to close the account for some reason.

I fuzzily remember a scroll near the start that let you jump over about 1/3 of the map, which you could survive with timed use of even a 1/2 second levitate.

Would this help any of the longer walks? Or does speed+levitation mostly beat it anyway?
Well, benmmurphy isn't talking about serializability (some correct ordering exists), but strict serializabilty (roughly: at least one correct ordering corresponds to wall clock order). PG does have the former, but not the latter.
Hmmm... I don't like the idea of disabling security for performance.

I'm not an expert on this, but I'd turn on Huge Tables (1GB) first. Big databases / datasets across RAM can be manipulated in 1GB chunks by the OS instead of 4kB (!!!) chunks. The Skylake CPU can only cache ~4 Huge Tables, but an additional set of Large Tables (2MB) should also help performance. If properly configured of course.

I would hope that those changes would mitigate most of the KPTI issues with regards to databases. But I really don't know.
I might use this in future critical discussions of AI. “It’s not really intelligent.” Yeah, well, neither am I. On a more serious note, it seems obvious to me that technology is incremental, and we are where we are. Given 20 more years of peacetime, we’ll be further along. When VGA 320x200x256 arrived it was dubbed photorealistic. I wonder what HN would have had to say about that.
Regressive is not the opposite of Progressive in tax politics. You may be confusing "conservative" here?

The commonly accepted denotation:

> (of a tax) taking a proportionally greater amount from those on lower incomes

Has absolutely nothing to do with spending, but on how much proportionally you are taking.
I had not realized Google killed Google Finance until this post -- the search replacement is abysmal.
The second paragraph here seems like it can be summarized as, "reading about things the game doesn't tell you about is good because you'll learn about other things that the game doesn't tell you about."

What if the UI was good enough that it exposed some of those gavelkind inheritance implications?
You can also argue that even the leaps we've managed to make in machine learning (a phrase I prefer over 'AI' not least because it includes the reminder-word 'machine') are mostly quantitative rather than qualitative leaps. Almost anything you can think of that's 'better' lately seems to be mostly thanks to 'more' -- more data collected in one place available for training/processing (thanks to large centralized surveillance companies), and the ability to process more data faster (thanks to faster hardware, and more of it, owned by those selfsame large centralized surveillance companies). We've seen a lot of optimizations and interesting research within the existing paradigm but we haven't seen a serious qualitative breakthrough the likes of which would justify this kind of hype.

Why, because you're busy being condescending to teach?

Software should be considered a system that needs ongoing care and maintenance, just like anything else.
This isn't about game design (rules, mechanics, balance, etc.), it's about design of GUIs for games.
> Secondly, I'm not a big fan of how you (and quite a few economists) conflate personal and corporate income taxes. It really muddies the water as even questions like "what even is income" is different between the two.

It was an example of how nominal tax rate is not the same as effective tax rate. For example, mortgage interest deductions are a regressive benefit which lowers the effective tax rate. Unfortunatenly, we cannot make good date on what the effective tax rate is because it is protected information.

> On the personal end, you greatly increase the tax burden on those least able to bear it, with an increase in benefits being totally orthogonal (most flat tax proposals intend to be revenue neutral)

That depends on what you cut. And thats why i say that you need to look at the revenue and the expenditures to know if taxes are regressive or not.

For example, Federal income tax is nominally progressive, but california has plenty of regressive taxes: sales taxes and property taxes that favor older tenants. In general state and city taxes are regressive, because those are the easiest to levy.
(assuming it is not /sarcasm)

The data is not stored in punch cards, the programs are/were. The data is/was stored in tapes or in tape emulators.

Storing data on cards would make random access wayyyy too slow (the operator would have to retrieve and load the card and keep them sorted manually, which is impossible to do at scale)

On tape, however, you can predict the distance you have to rewind by computing the physical length each records take if they have auto incremented IDs. A tape can contain a lot of records. Especially if it's a modern one or an array backed emulated one. At least that's what some people I went to school with told me it's how they did it.

Where I work we've been debating about this a lot. I work with log data from CDNs, so user IP addresses get ingested. We use that information and correlate it with geoip services to determine stuff like the ISP being used.

This is so we can evaluate CDN performance and also see how well ISPs are doing in serving content to the user. So it's essentially asking questions about network performance rather than at a macro level of individual users.

As far as IPs are concerned we don't care much after that, other than maybe the odd "how many unique IP addresses were served today" type queries.

We've talked about doing the secret/salt that is rotated periodically, but to be safe you would definitely need to ensure previous salts are destroyed, and not even let people view them or access them when they are live.
This was more or less the answer I was going to give. In short: big companies are more efficient at repeated things. Small companies can be more efficient at novel things.

Why Apple doesn’t care about professional Mac users anymore (2016)
One thing that I've found is that the more people there are at a company the more people there are that feel a need to justify their job or themselves (never underestimate ego), so they feel the need to put their finger in every pie, even when they're not needed.

What I've seen happen is that a small group will try to get something done quickly (with the CEO or COO's or whomevers blessing) but then other people will get wind of it and say hey, I'm the XXX of Marketing, you can't do that without me, or I'm the XXX of Project Management, you have to follow these procedures, or I'm the XXXX of IT, why do you think you can just buy that $99 component yourself and get reimbursed instead of doing this and this and this? None of those people are NEEDED to do the project, but they'll all be offended if they're not included or, worse, the processes they've created aren't followed when doing the project aren't followed.

This also tends to manifests at meetings -- meetings with more than, say, 7 people can de-escalate from let's talk about only what needs to be said for this project to let me say what I need to say so that I can show that I know what I'm talking about or that I look good for my boss or my department isn't irrelevant or one of 100 other things that genuinely have nothing at all to do with actually improving or helping the project itself.

There are ways to get around this -- meet with the individual stakeholder groups individually, don't allow large meetings to happen if at all possible, get the highest buy in you can from the beginning, forge key relationships in each department so that you have go-to people for getting stuff done, but honestly I'd rather just work in a small company because I can just do stuff and get it done extremely quickly (and small companies have these same problems too, they're just much easier to get around if you have the right backing -- you're trying to get around a department of 2 that's trying to roadblock you instead of a department of 50).

Thank you. I don't know much about AI, but I like to think I know a little about Bob Dylan. The bittersweet love song is a Bob Dylan staple that lasted well beyond his protest phase. I think Watson actually a pretty good job of identifying it as a theme. From "Girl from North Country" to "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" to "It Aint Me Babe" to "Tangled Up in Blue" to all the way into the 90's with "Make You Feel My Love", it's a theme that spans his entire body of work.
I would guess this to be because of

1) self-motivation

2) people working towards proposals & being able to fork when unhappy.
I think this is really the heart of it -- if you're working on a product together, all you have to worry about is whether your work is improving the product. You can get other people to help you as long as it also helps the product. It's a lot easier to be productive when you don't have to worry about whether team X will be on board or whether executive Y will like what you're doing.

I think your "the text's relationship with the spelling" argument can certainly be applied to the Shakespeare example above, just as I stated. When viewed in that light, replacing long-S and u for v change Shakespeare's relationship with the Roman script and Roman history of his day, too. (Though those are not the only spelling changes in the example I provided.) The question becomes, does that really matter, in light of the text? Most editors throughout history seem to think "no," as evidenced by the huge amount of quiet spelling and even grammar changes editors have been slipping under our noses for centuries, without so much as a whiff of outrage.

I think, rather, in text a character's relationship with technology is part of the text, not of the spelling. A character does not know how he spelled "phone" when they're speaking dialog. The sounds out of his mouth do not include an apostrophe whether it's there in the spelling or not.

And, I think there are plenty of people who would be just as upset at using Johnson's dictionary as a cutoff for spelling. If we demand original spelling in everything we read, why is any cutoff acceptable? (Or so they would argue.) Of course, I disagree that a we need a cutoff at all, or that spelling matters in the general sense :)

(Of course, spelling can matter when the text makes a point to be old-timey; so if you note in the H.P. Lovecraft short fiction example, the "A Reminiscence of Samuel Johnson" short story retains its archaic spelling and style, because Lovecraft wrote it archaically on purpose. In fact we retain several archaic spelling styles in Lovecraft that we might otherwise modernize, because he was famous for thinking of himself as an "aged antiquarian" and wanted his prose to reflect that. This is where a careful and well-read editor matters, and those are the kinds of people we have volunteering at SE.)

Ultimately it comes down to taste, and the trust you have in the editor of the volume you're reading. This project is unintentionally making it a mission of mine to reveal to readers how much of what they've read in the past and think is "genuine," has in fact been heavily edited by many people on its journey from first printing a hundred years ago to your hands today, no different than what we're doing. SE just says so up front and gives you the option to undo.

The short-sighted arrogance of the headline really turns me off the article itself. Nothing "went wrong" with the internet. The internet is fine.

The culture of first world nations however, is completely fubar, has been since before all of us were born, and will probably continue to be long after we're all dead. (second and third world nations are also completely broken, but we expect that.)

It's the same kind of nonsense when people say "We've destroyed the planet!" No we haven't, we destroyed our own survivability in our own habitat, but the planet _is fine_, and will shake us all off some day without so much as a thought about it. The internet is equally indifferent and unaffected by our stupid capitalism problems.
