It's a great question and one of my early concerns as well.

For most people email is a utility. The diversity of language in the middle chunk of the distribution isn't very high today and the biggest complaint most people have about email is how much time it takes. Most of our users aren't writing poetry, they are doing every day business transactions and we can help them be much more productive. Think how many times you've written "hope to hear from you soon", or some equivalent.

For the tails of the distribution Smart Compose is not helpful. We address this primarily with a triggering model, we aim to only show suggestions when we're quite confident that you're in the 'just getting things done' mode.

And if you're the type of person who always has a lot of personality in your emails, the feature probably isn't a great fit for you. Today it's opt-in, and there will always be a setting even if we turn it on by default.
This would be so awesome for getting prices. Imagine having it call the closest twenty mechanics and getting prices for new brakes!
> Google CEO Sundar Pichai said the new TPU is eight times more powerful than last year

Are we sure about this? He specifically said that a "pod" would be 8 times faster than last year, not the TPU itself.

And the picture in the background showed what looked like to be 8 racks of 64 TPUs (or maybe 32?). Until now a "pod" was a single rack of 64 TPUs.
So if the new definition for a "pod" is 8 times as many TPUs as it was before, the result is less impressive...

Is there any actual spec released?
No, they're going to be used by Google and nobody else, so they can establish dominance in the cloud AI/AI SaaS space using their immense resources. This will be used by internal Google projects to rapidly develop their large scale models and, if you're lucky, available on Google Cloud one day (TPUv2 already is, at least).

Google doesn't need "developer buy in" for these to make sense -- they need better hardware for training and deploying deep learning models for their products, which is the overwhelming motivation. And, if they offer these to you, it's only because you're willing to pay for faster TensorFlow iteration.

Speaking as someone who just started his third programming job, and who had a previous unrelated career; the money.

The money and other benefits allow me to subsidize and fund the kind of life I want to have with my family. I know that my children and my wife in our later years will have the resources we need to be financially, physically, and emotionally healthy.
Yes, N-API seems to be superior. And it's a particular good fit because libui itself has a C API
GNU Wget Cookie Injection [CVE-2018-0494]
The US had a deal with Iran where they wouldn't pursue nuclear weapons, and we would ease back on the sanctions that were hurting their economy. Trump scrapped the deal, which (I presume) means the sanctions are going back in effect.

That's going to hurt Iran's economy (and, to a much lesser extent, the US economy as well). It's also going to raise international tensions.

Whether it's good or bad depends on your interpretation of whether Iran was keeping their end of the deal (the spirit, the letter, or both).

"Duplex seems trained against this corpus. The end game would be for the business to run something like duplex on the other side, and you’d have duplex talking to duplex."

So, you would just have an automated booking system API which is better handled by not placing calls as its form of communication. Right?
I wonder how long it will be before there is a call to book a restaurant where both sides are AI assistants
I don't disagree with the idea, but it is hard to think of a world where we only optionally pay for things. Do you think it's okay because the cost is prohibitive? Or because if we truly value it we will support it if it is free or not free? I don't necessarily know how to reason this issue out.
This works only if Google allows that same data to be used by other businesses who would benefit from having it listed.
Are you trying to incite the mob with this post? If you read the latest comments by the Webpack team, it seems pretty clear that "Webpack" is not squatting on parcel scopes on npm.
Pretty much any simple (i.e. easily cloned) item under $10 suffers. Sellers know it's not worth the hassle of packing and returning something. Only about 5% of customers post reviews and since the items are cheap sellers can afford to give enough away to review farmers that they can overwhelm reviews from legit customers.
Local musical scenes used to have their own sounds, but thier influence has fallen away to more distant influences. If we all listened to POP top 20, then this would have homogenized music. Instead, there is much more variety and musical subcultures than ever before.
The spam factor can go the other way too. Imagine the same type of program automating the spam / scam calls to the elderly.
A json-based format still has some advantages depending on context. E.g. JavaScript code can manipulate JSON data "natively" whereas XML support is far harder to achieve.
I think the major problem with the registry - besides being obscure - is that it can grow really slow as it fills up, and many programs do not clean up their registry data when being uninstalled. I think this is one of the major factors why Windows grows so slow after a couple of years on machines where lots of software is being installed and uninstalled.

> Many people refuse to consider this and think of parts of it as sacred doctrine. The first and second amendments, in particular.

I don't know that people are unwilling to _modify_ it, but rather to _violate_ it. I honestly personally would be pretty happy with no 2A, but unless the specific majorities required for an amendment agree with me, I'm strongly against violating it ad-hoc. The rule of law is simply a lot more important than any given policy.

I was in another country, and still seeing the political bias (CNN+) in the reporting. Call me old school, but 'news' and 'journalism' is meant to be impartial. It wasn't. Opinion piece after propaganda opinion piece.

I don't think lack of handwriting skill has anything to do with writing ability, which is generally understood to be the ability to express ideas in text. Of course keyboard skills have supplanted handwriting. Perhaps dictation will replace keyboard skills soon. The method of written creation is irrelevant to the output.

A few corrections on this:

1. This was done by Ryan Clark, who has made a couple contributions to the Webpack project, but is not a team member.

2. Ryan only has ownership of the @parcel scope. It is unknown who owns @parceljs or @parcel-bundler: https://twitter.com/rynclark/status/993928588318691329

3. Ryan at least has some sort of intention to use the scope, though it's unknown what that purpose is: https://github.com/parceljs/seed

I've registered the @parcel-js scope and added James and Devon to it. Whomever has @parceljs and/or @parcel-bundler is most likely typosquatting, so hopefully it can be recovered/transferred by npm. So, basically this: https://hackernoon.com/im-harvesting-credit-card-numbers-and...

Legatum rates China's prosperity at 90th in the world, alongside El Salvador and Nepal, precisely because the lack of personal freedom and environmental degradation act as a counterbalance against China's robust economy.

You can question the methodology, but then you have to make an argument as to why Norway, New Zealand, Finland, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Denmark, the US and other mature social democracies which routinely top these rankings are not good places to live. Very few citizens of those countries would choose to live in Xi's China instead.
Hi rococode, what are you viewing the site on? I'm curious if you're experiencing this is on something that's a bit out of the ordinary in terms of setup and whatnot. Regardless, I'm curious if we can do something.

You see, the font is indeed larger than other sites out there as NefLabs.com is designed in accordance with DOJ Section §508 best practices for the visually impaired. You can find additional information on this in the full Privacy Policy (https://neflabs.com/privacy/)

But, I don't think it should be as jarring as what you're describing. So, once again, I'm curious...
I would imagine any sort of product review classification system would be exploitable for abuse.

Anecdotal evidence: when my mother and her team were running for student council (in college), the opposing team introduced blatantly fake votes (photocopied) in favor of her team; my mother's team got disqualified for cheating, and the opposing team won.

So I could certainly picture a way in which a mischievous seller could submit fake-looking reviews for another product and get it taken down.
It has been a nightmare to deal with chatbots and voice-synthesized phone "customer support" gatekeepers. It's time to turn the tables. This doesn't have to only apply to restaurants and such, much better to let this loose on the various unresponsive megacorps. Who knows, they may find it less costly to actually deal with customers than pay for compute against a worthy adversary.
> The end game is clearly to use an api, not this.

My understanding is API integration is what wechat is in china -- every hair salon and equivalent-of-corner-pizza shop has some wechat integration, payment and all.

Voice bots like this will have the advantage of ubiquity. At least a couple years ago before every resteraunt had 5 tablets for all their seamless/grubhub/chowhound/whatever apps, pretty much the only reason the fax machine was still around was for restaurant ordering. Although there were clearly better ways of doing it (see how Dominos reinvented itself as a tech company), the sheer ubiquity of fax as the lowest common denominator kept the tech around.

In that light, it's kinda like the cell-phones-leapfrogging-landlines-in-developing-countries argument... part of the wechat story involves a massive population entering the consumer class at a time when everything was digital. Call me out if this is a gross over-generalization, but in a way, the wechat population never had to deal with the backwards-compatibility of people growing up ordering a pizza over the phone.

It'll be interesting to see how the API-centric approach (wechat) plays out versus the lowest-common-denominator ubiquity approach (voicebots). I'd stop short of calling API's the end game though.
Rolling out over the course of the day. We'll be at 100% in a couple hours. Thanks for your patience. :)

It's intriguing that this is exactly the reverse of the argument (complete with "we've learned a few things since then") that people make when discussing ICOs.

The requirements for IPOs are important, they argue. Investor accreditation is important to prevent the naive masses from wasting their live-savings on snake-oil, they argue. "Please grow up and resist the urge" for unregulated securities, they argue.

I think both arguments generalize, which makes the contrast interesting. Is the SEC, in its role in preventing equity sales to unaccredited investors, a "ministry of truth", censoring some companies from speaking to people who would want to transact with them?

I would argue they're not, because they're not actually deciding who gets to sell equity. Anyone can sell equity—provided that party also discloses a whole bunch of information about itself. If it refuses to do that, then that party is restricted to only sell equity to people who are rich enough to not be risking much in an individual investment.

I think this could be a workable model for regulating the news media (including Joe random blogger.) If you're publishing to the world, then you have to disclose all the research that went into your piece. If you're unwilling to do that, then the state could have a right to in turn restrict where you can publish.

Possibly illegal (?) if the conversation happens in a jurisdiction which requires both parties need to consent to be recorded.
1) She's criticizing the creation of a government-run media organization, not the creation of an org that punishes media organizations for false news. These things have different costs and benefits.

Also, believe it or not, government-funded media already exists. For example, there's Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, the various spokespeople of government agencies like the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Health and Human Services, etc etc.

With that in mind: why should one more new media agency be uniquely offensive?

2) Many of these arguments seem vague and conspiratorial. For example, it asserts that plutocrats really control all of our media. For this, it cites another article by the same author, which talks about Jeff Bezos acquiring Washington Post.

That seems like a pretty big jump to me.

3) Many of these arguments argue things that do not support her point. For example, it claims that the media is pro-establishment. Okay, so what? The establishment has some good qualities.

Imagine the skit from Life of Brian, "What have the Romans ever done for us?" but s/romans/establishment/.
Amazon Prime is the right idea long-term. Get people to sign on for one anchor subscription (free shipping) and then add other ancillary subscriptions over time. I assume somebody at AMZN right now is looking into adding all-you-can-eat access to newspapers, magazines, software, etc. as part of the Prime subscription.
that it needs a trusted measurement of the current time.

That's easily generated by doing it internally. Sure, you can't easily have a precise, trusted measurement that doesn't suffer from drift - but in this case it doesn't practically matter.

So you test ~7days runtime or external clock says you've gone > 7days. Lock on either condition. You can mess with the latter as you say, but not the former. Well I suppose you can de-power the device but that doesn't really help you either. Am I missing something?

ACID means more than atomic updates, though. To be ACID-compliant, you'd have to be able to group several changes to the registry and have them take effect either all at once or not at all.
I think asking locals can be one solution. If not, check out a blog of the city you are visiting, they might publish new places there.
Zcash Foundation to Make ASIC Resistance “Immediate Technical Priority”
I used to sell iPhone apps (GeeTasks) and I had fans raving about my products, and sometimes trashing competitors. It was weird. Most certainly I did not pay for it.

What I learned from that is that there are people very different from me, with a different way of creating and expressing relationships, loyalty, and adversity.
Sure, I agree it requires coordination, but that doesn't absolve one's share of responsibility.

One might similarly argue that there is no point in voting (or feeling bad for not voting in elections) as no individual voter can expect to change the outcome of an election. Elections also require coordination.

Industries face the same coordination problem as individuals. Choosing to be environmentally friendly in most situations puts your company at a distinct competitive disadvantage (which often means your company goes out of business). I'm sure many companies would only be too happy to adhere to environmental regulations if all their competitors in all countries adhered to the same standards.

If we want environmental change, need to stop waiting for everyone else does to clean up their act first. Why shouldn't we start with ourselves?
You mean immersion cooling? As long as the fluid isn't conductive you're good to go.

It's not violent like countries caught in the drug wars, but a single number fails to give the whole picture: in India a lot of the violence is targeting lower castes and religious minorities (Muslims, Christians, Sikhs)[1], sometimes with the (more or less overt) approval of the current ruling party (BJP -- Hindu nationalists). A recent shocking example is the gang rape and murder of an 8 year old Muslim girl: although most of the country was horrified by this, some of the demonstrations were in favour of the accused, and for the charges to be dropped[2].

So yes, when the ruling party basically deliberately targets minorities, I would qualify that country as "quite violent".

Thank you! I'm always amazed at stories that lack the proper illustration, usually a map. Quite an omission for a story all about flying over land and water. I suppose they're harder for the authors to make than just using stock photos.

PS: you are missing the stop in Karachi, now in Pakistan. I only saw this because I looked at your map repeatedly while reading the story, to get a feel for each leg of the flight.

There seems to be a healthy number of other pilots / aviation enthusiasts here, so I'll ask - did they really use the OVER & OUT in aviation phraseology back then? Modern aviation RT omits these, so I wonder if it is a journalistic addition.
Too bad this isn't the default. Or better yet, something like "All versions of this product (...) / Just this variant (...)". Similar to the way Apple segments mobile app reviews by release version.
That is exactly the question a user should ask themselves. I can't answer it for anyone else. But for your two cases, the key is more secure because there is no relatively short password that can be guessed. An attacker has to brute force the cryptographic key, which should be infeasible. Passwords are easier to crack online or offline, unless you've picked a password with 112 bits of entropy.
agreed, you should only allow editing by people you know. not random internet strangers

For pretty much as long as I can remember, it's been a fact of life that Windows had these little embarrassments, and Microsoft was too dysfunctional to address them. Everyone just sort of learned that Notepad didn't work and you weren't supposed to use it, then forgot it was there.
Yes!

This is an API that requires no computer on the user's end and is portable across different implementations from different companies.

It's not ideal. Actual standardized APIs are better. But, uh, have you ever worked with industry standard APIs? I have, and standardized is not how I would describe them.

It is though. Those routes are colored brown on maps, and are likely as easy to exclude as interstate highways. The route text for those segments also indicates "unpaved trail."
A word for that is transactional.
I kind of agree. At this point it may just be better to write controllers that read generic policy from a different object and the base definition from the Kube object. But at that point, the extra ingress object is just a convenience.
But in the end, there is no net benefit to you. So why would you do it?
Many here may not be aware of this but the tech landacape is quite different in India. Walmart actually has a major development center in Bangalore which attracts a lot of the top talent.
