Of course... they have to spend the donations on something. Anything but improving Firefox or Thunderbird, lol

>An ISP zero rating facebook, Netflix or Spotify just entrenches a big player in their dominant position.

No because in the EU by legislation ISPs are forced to zero-rate all services in the same category. If they zero-rate Netflix they have to zero-rate YouTube and everything in between.

>LOL. So a company can't stand for anything because they might upset someone?

Exactly. They should not alienate possible users or customers.

If this is the sort of experiment that is getting space on a rocket then I kind of wonder if NASA is out of ideas.

I can't stop thinking about what archaeologists will think about us in a thousand years, they will struggle so much to even come up with plausible theories, much less agree on them.
It isn't too hard to simulate low gravity, all you need to do is move a large aircraft in the appropriate parabolic pattern. My understanding is that this is already how NASA trains astronauts for zero-g environments, and how weightlessness is done in space movies. Adjusting the path to match Mars gravity should not be difficult.

> In the pre-Civil War United States, a stronger case can be made that slavery played a critical role in economic development. One crop, slave-grown cotton, provided over half of all US export earnings.

>thus slavery paid for a substantial share of the capital, iron, and manufactured goods that laid the basis for American economic growth. In addition, precisely because the South specialized in cotton production, the North developed a variety of businesses that provided services for the slave South, including textile factories, a meat processing industry, insurance companies, shippers, and cotton brokers.

These two quotes prove my claim. Slave grown crops were a large part of the usa's exports and even in states without slaves, industry depended on the plantation system in some way. I think its reasonable to say the us economy heavily depended on slavery for that reason. Either you are expending an extraordinary amount of effort nitpicking the semantics of "heavily" or you're knowlingly deluding yourself to avoid facing the truth.

As an american, who lives in an area where enslaved people once walked, i know its hard to accept that the country i love was founded on opression. But it's something we all must acknowledge. It's a dark chapter of our history, and it continues to impact us today.

5 Key Successes Will Sustain Entrepreneur Inspiration
Support for Linux will enable you to create, test and run Android and web app for phones, tablets and laptops all on one Chromebook. Run popular editors, code in your favorite language and launch projects to Google Cloud with the command-line. Everything works directly on a Chromebook.

Linux runs inside a virtual machine that was designed from scratch for Chromebooks. That means it starts in seconds and integrates completely with Chromebook features. Linux apps can start with a click of an icon, windows can be moved around, and files can be opened directly from apps
From my personal experience, it's much easier to make a successful blog than to make a successful project website of other kinds and it takes a lot less effort.

I started writing a software development blog about 1 year ago, really casually writing 1 article per month. Now my blog gets about 600 views per day.

My open source project website gets about the same number of daily views but I spent 4 years working on it. The ROI of the blog in terms of my time is probably around 100x which is pretty ridiculous because it's comparatively useless and I don't even care about it.

Cmder[0] is what I use, it supports all commands that I use on my work MacBook. If I need something Linux-specific like imagemagick, I just use WSL[1]. Some say it's slow but it runs fine. Maybe it's the fact that my PC is like 10x more powerful than my MacBook Pro because it's standard desktop computer with water cooling.

Bottom line, as someone who is using both every day - Windows is fine, it's not 2010 anymore.

Many games handle it poorly. The idea is to disincentivize poor planning and poor decisions such that winning becomes more difficult, but never so much that it becomes impossible. No matter what the situation is, a player should ideally be able to see a path to victory, or at least a spiteful form of failure, it just might involve rather significant gambles. The player on top should also ideally feel that their position is constantly one poor decision and some really bad luck away from being taken from them. Hidden information is frequently employed to this end, allowing players to imagine that their opponents are in a better or worse situation than they actually are, as well as providing the opportunity to intentionally deceive others about one's position.

I think he's just pointing out that the lumping of Native Americans into one discrete category is a bit artificial, since white-native and native-native relations varied widely depending upon the tribe (and the white people). For instance, the Iroquois and white settlers in upstate New York had a much better relationship than tribes in the far west and pioneers I think. On the other hand, the Iroquois hated the Algonquins.

An anecdote: I grew up close by the Oneida Indian Nation and one of the town seals for an area village (the aptly named Whitesboro) had a white man choking an Oneida. The seal was depicting a good-natured wrestling match from the 18th century that led to a decent long-lasting relationship between the Oneidas and early settlers, but at first glance it looked very terrible. Someone at the Daily Show discovered this, descended upon Whitesboro and strongarmed them into changing the seal (and honestly they probably should have anyways since it isn't obvious what it meant without more context). What I found ironic was that they interviewed a Lenape (a.k.a. the sworn enemy of the Iroquois) who dutifully informed them how terrible the seal was.

In the meantime, more serious issues that the Oneida actually care more about were ignored by the Daily Show. Namely, the Daily Show completely glossed over the fact that the Oneida Indian Nation is essentially a puppet state run by Ray Halbritter, who was illegally elected and essentially does/did the bidding of Sherwood Boehlert (a former white congressman from the area). It probably wouldn't have made for as sexy of a segment, but it still annoys me that of all the white-native issues from my area, they chose to highlight the Whitesboro seal.

[edit] There's also the question of Iroquois-Iroquois relations after the Revolutionary War, when some tribes in the confederacy sided with the British and had to flee to Canada and other tribes stayed in New York.

Disclaimer: Fact check my statements because I'm not totally sure I understand the Ray Halbritter issue myself / don't think about it on a daily basis.
Forgive my ignorance, but I'd think the lower gravity would actually reduce buoyancy, so a lighter than air vehicle would have less upward force, while being at the mercy of high winds. At the same time, less gravity makes it easier for a helicopter because less lift would be required for a heavier than air vehicle.

>In one, a woman sentenced to drug rehab left the center but was eventually located by an official using the service. Other examples include an official who found a missing Alzheimer’s patient and detectives who used “precise location information positioning” to get “within 42 feet of the suspect’s location” in a murder case.

So a junkie, an Alzheimer's patient and a murdered were found using this system. Yeah, way to make me feel sympathetic

> But some of the powers, like remembering ancestors memories barely even exist in humans today.

That would be a valid point... except why are they still breeding for things like intelligence? That was my point. Thousands of generations later, they're still breeding for basic stuff like enhanced intelligence, which makes little sense under pretty much everything we know about intelligence's genetics.

> The field of epigenetics has proven that a starving parent can alter how the genetics of even grandchildren express themselves.

The extent to which transgenerational heritable epigenetics matters in humans has been wildly exaggerated by the media and the field is rife with overinterpretations, small samples, and non-replication.

Not to mention, even that hype didn't exist when Herbert was writing it, so he couldn't've been thinking of it. I am fairly sure he was gesturing towards a more Akashi-Records-style psi mechanism with access granted by ancestry, not actual encoding of memories into spare DNA (which among other things would mean no ancestor would remember anything after having a kid).

> To extend the functionality to the level of recording memories would take almost as long as it took for DNA to become as fancy as it did from the original RNA molecules that could produce more of themselves without any enzymes or DNA having developed yet.

Neurons already re-edit and splice their chromosomal DNA, so the mechanisms are already there for at least part of it.
That's not a fault of Chromebooks themselves but the ARM CPU. Except for Apple, no one can pull off desktop class ARM right now.

Framing a bullying and demeaning (and sexually harassing) environment in terms of effectiveness is optimizing for the wrong thing. We should be creating spaces that make people happy, with productivity as a secondary goal.

It's a bit like measuring chattel slavery by its economic output. The vastly more important issue — whether people would be able to own other people — is entirely orthogonal.

With regard to the armed forces analogy, consider too the difference in situations one is likely to encounter as a member of the military as opposed to a SV non-profit.
In this context, the Hamiltonian is just the log of the conditional probability of the input data given some parameters. In fact, such functions are much more diverse than the functions defined by neural networks (which, though there are many variants, are basically all compositions of linear and nonlinear functions). The question being asked in the paper is which Hamiltonians can be robustly approximated by neural networks. The authors then argue that the class of Hamiltonians that appear in nature are simple enough that neural nets do a decent job.
There are so many interesting projects out there, really great stuff with great ideas and elegant implementation, languishing in obscurity because they lack the critical mass to start growing.

There are a lot of open source operating systems that are foundationally much better suited to the desktop than Linux, for instance, but no one uses them because they don't have Linux's driver or application library, which is because they don't have enough contributors to catch up, which is because no one uses them...
This is wishful thinking. Sadly, Trump is consolidating his grip on power while the morons on the "other" side have their heads in the sand. Rs will win complete control of both houses at the federal level and at least 40 states this November. Then they will start churning out awful Constitutional amendments. Will that also be the Russians' fault, or will Ds finally get some accountable leadership that looks forward to victory rather than whinging about past failures?

It certainly matters because the whole Machine Learning field was pretty much 100% open access before DeepMind “went big” and started pursuing Nature publications from the Atari paper and onwards. I completely understand their move as Nature brings with it a lot of prestige well beyond your own field, it is a genius tactical move. But I still feel that this undermines something rare and precious that we have as a field.

There's a bit of advocacy at Fed is Best:

Of course, some people see that as an anti-breastfeeding movement.

The rhetoric around breastfeeding is insane. Trying to do legitimate research online about it is almost impossible.

My least favorite part of breastfeeding advocacy is when people say it's free. Yes, it's free, as long as you ignore the extra time it takes for the mother that can't be shared with other caregivers (unless you pump, which takes more time), extra food you have to eat, the pump and various accessories, and the time spent cleaning all the little pump parts. Yeah, other than that it's free.
I donate platelets every month. It takes a while but you can watch a movie and it doesn't leave you feeling as drained as whole blood donation does. But which sort of donation does the most good is partially dependent on what your blood type is.

Can you think of another reason to fictionalize such an account? Will be be ignoring the fact that just a few posts ago you maintained with equal confidence that this could not have happened at all?

More importantly, the argument that American settlers and later government policies deliberately exterminated large populations of natives does not even remotely rest on this. Are you really conflating them? Are you that ignorant of the history?

You also don't seem to understand the concept of genocide, the whole point of which is that it's extra bad to kill off a population as it gets smaller.

No, they're not, in fact they often have a higher standard to meet (more likely to need a DPO, for example).
That's a different thing than is being suggested though, I believe. That study sounds like something along the lines of a "Come donate and get $50" type of arrangement. The parent's suggestion was more along the lines of specifically targeting individuals that have e.g. O blood or rare properties in their blood, removing the likelihood of quality going down.

Style guides also tend to ignore funky punctuation, etc. in company names. For example, it was pretty standard to drop the ! in Yahoo!. There is certainly an argument for respecting the wishes of a name's owner but it's also understandable to do otherwise for readability.

In this particular case, there are also a lot of acronyms that have entered such common usage (like radar) that capitalizing them would seem odd. And too many capped acronyms, Studly Caps, hyphenations etc. hurt readability after a while.

You mean pick up the signal from earths GPS? Off the top of my head, it would require earth to be in view, and it would be very inaccurate - GPS is already less accurate the further from equator you get, as all the visible satellites are increasingly on one side of you. You'd have this problem in the extreme, as all the satellites would be clustered in a single dot in the sky. Probably also infeasible to meaningfully correct for the fact that Mars and Earth move very quickly relative to each other.
