Why do you want to have it in the middle? Then you waste half the screen space right?

If you want it to push from the top, I could understand... but in the middle?
Interesting, but not sure it's possible, depending on what you define as a "third-party component".

Highlighting frames, images, ... would be one thing, but I don't think you can track elements created by scripts usefully. (and in cases like "include jQuery, script from page then uses jQuery to create something" not necessarily clear what "result of a third party component" means)
Boycotts are historically extremely ineffective. They require absurd amounts of coordination and go against incentives each individual has.

If you have strong enough coordination, we end up calling it "government".
It is about being dependent on someone else for something that is critical to you.

But really now it is just Nvidia does not have the ability to meet Google's needs.

I am not aware of anything from Nvidia that could do 16k cycles through a NN in real-time at a cost that you could roll out at scale.

Google priced WaveNet competitively to the old way of doing. You can only do that with a very low cost for computation and the power required which Nvidia could not match with the TPU 1.0 let alone now they have the 3.0.
I commute daily by "coach" - I live thirty miles outside London in the commuter belt, and in general it is great. But it's great because mostly there is a bus service locally (dr gong round picking people up every few hundred yards) and then mostly a motorway drive to London - once past the first drop off (Canary Wharf) it grinds to a halt along with every one else in sheer weight of traffic

The fixes needed are simple - and related to the to comment on "infrastructure as a commitment signalling device".

Just charge the living bejesus out of single occupancy cars, force major roads to be bus and cycle only, and have serious decade long plans for pedestrianising most city areas - the car has to go.
"You live in a country where a billionaire can put a publication out of business."

I highly doubt Thiel would have been able to do that had it not been for Gawker's general being shitty. Outing Thiel was shitty, publishing the sex tape of a private individual was shitty, and saying that they would publish kiddie porn if they felt it was "newsworthy" was shitty.

Gawker was able to be taken out due to their own actions.
Python is not "strongly typed". Please don't repeat this phrase near management folk. Python just gives good error messages when it crashes at runtime, e.g. "expected an Int but got a String". This is better than a segfault, but it's still a crash.

Call it "strongly tagged" if you like, but "type" unqualified should mean static type. Even "dynamic type" is a marketing hijack of the word type.

Professor Robert Harper takes the same position: https://existentialtype.wordpress.com/2011/03/19/dynamic-lan...
You can't! Or, I guess you could do something hacky with the #!.
I may not be doing software dev for a living but isn't the software development lifecycle always something that would take a long time to come to a completed state?

With that assumption, I always thought of hackathons as 'sprints', as in they are great in moderation but you should always run a marathon. If this is common knowledge then I think there is a bit of a misunderstanding by outsiders, where it appears as if the devs start and finish the software or feature at the hackathon.

My impression of hackathons is that they highlight the coder culture and improve morale and PR. I don't think any manager would consider hackathons as the primary way of getting things done, am I wrong?
People who contribute to FOSS usually don't use Windows anyway, though.
I've worked for a few startups that have had a cult-like following, and it's never gone well. If you gave notice, you immediately got the cold shoulder from all of the execs - to the point that there weren't officially sanctioned goodbye parties. People got pushed out if they asked any questions that could be perceived as critical of the company or product. At one company I worked at, people would cheer absolutely everything in company meetings ("we missed our Q3 goals by 60%" loud applause "Don't worry, we'll get it next time!"). Company has layoffs, and nobody would believe that it could be due to poor performance, so they went with other implausible explanations.

The unfortunate thing about these cultures is that they self-select for the worst kind of employee. If you think there are areas of improvement in your company or product, and that's viewed as not being loyal, then you end up only with employees who already believe the company or product is perfect. Personally, I'd rather work with people who recognize the faults in their product and are actively working to fix them.

The only exception I've encountered is where there's a cult-like following AND verifiable performance of the product. Apple has a cult-like following among employees and enthusiasts, but they also make products people love and you can tell that objectively from their quarterly earnings calls [note: I'm aware that Apple certainly has it's own sets of issues with its product and work culture, my point is simply that a cult following of Apple is different from a cult following of your shitty benefits platform].

These experiences led me to a, perhaps, cynical conclusion: the more cult-like the culture, the easier it is for the executives and investors to fleece the employees. While everybody is cheering the quarterly losses, and unquestioningly supporting every product release, your executives are negotiating parachutes for when the company gets acquired for dimes on the dollar. It completely makes sense to me that Peter Thiel thinks this is a good thing: he's benefiting from those cults.

Oh it absolutely is. Want to see evidence? If a client or someone important comes to visit the office, management asks everyone to wear nicer clothes and "clean up your workspaces." If culture was so great and beneficial, they sure make a point to hide it when it's important.

Total facade.
I've had a sport gt for a few months.

Pros: it's fairly light, easy to carry around, with a small footprint (when folded & standing) and very quick to fold, makes it convenient for multi-modal involving public transport, or to use it one way and public transports the other for some reason

Cons: on wet surface sends mud everywhere it should not — apparently they've just released fenders which I would strongly recommend if you're in a place where it ever rains; it's a bit bumpy especially on less-than-perfect surfaces (solid wheels and only steatpost suspension)

My biggest issue is more of a disappointment: I was really interested in using it for grocery shopping (either going for groceries or getting them on my way back) but:

* the cargo basket doesn't have handles (it does have handle mounts but not the handles going in there) making it a pain to carry detached from but alongside the urbe

* which is not helped by the urb-e being way less convenient to carry by the handle when the basked is affixed (as it juts out from the middle and makes for way less walking legroom)

* the basket's mount/release is absolute crap especially when loaded, the lock must be drawn back into the basket (and into the groceries usually those heavier & less flexible as it's towards the post) then lifted up and back from the bolt-holes and the support itself is annoying to remove, this makes urbe+basket way less convenient to fold/unfold/carry than the urbe alone, even more so as the support is affixed over the back handle if mounted in the back which…

* is a requirement for "shopping cart" mode on the sport, if loaded with more than a few hundred grams the "standing" urb-e is not stable when using a front-mounted basket

* the basket is very rigid, coupled with the sport gt's solid wheels groceries keep bumping and jumping around, damaging the heavier or more fragile items

* it's an open wire basket, making it very much non water resistant (though see first cons my urbe isn't great at that anyway, at least unless and until I get the new fenders)

* really inadapted to carrying french bread, there's no good way to carry a baguette or flute without it being damaged

Some sort of closable bag (canvas on or suspended under a rigid frame) would have been much better, or a bike-ish post compatible with standard panniers. That would have limited the bumping and jumping, provided some protection against elements and avoided the possibility of items jumping out the bag entirely (either due to bumps or light stuff picked by wind gusts).

I like my machine overall, but that cargo basket is just bad.
Have we had any examples of capitalism that didn't produce corruption?

I feel like once again you're using different standards for evidence for the two systems. We see the awful effects of communism each and every time and we correctly attribute it to communism. But suddenly there's a need for negative proof with capitalism. We can't be sure because we haven't seen every single permutation where it might be possible. But this systemic corruption exist in each real instance so far. But we don't know if it's strictly "inevitable." Do you see how that is bad reasoning? Do you see how that isn't falsifiable?

It also stands to reason that this is inherent in capitalism. If you have complete freedom to purchase anything in the market, can you not see a situation where, without outside control, a successful party will have the opportunity to use capital to seize the system itself and change it to suit their needs above others? It stops being lassis-faire at that point. What about capitalism is meant to prevent that from happening? There's no inherent safeguard to keep it from developing that problem.

If you want a good system, you have to look at it honestly. You can't be in denial and keep giving it a benefit of a doubt just to protect the system instead of the people living within it. The system exists for a purpose, not of its own merit. It needs modification in the same way that all systems need modification. Any creation of humankind can be improved, and one of the advantages of our kind is that we have reason and agency to continually improve. The danger lies in ossifying and exalting a system as flawless the way we do with capitalism.
> I've been in the Army for 16 years. Dumb recruits are their bread and butter. They wouldn't give them up for anything in the world.

The article seems to be talking about the almost dumbest of the dumb "Category IV" recruits, not the merely dumb. Prior to the Iraq war (when this article was written), the military more or less kept this category out:

> on Sept. 20, 2005, the Defense Department released DoD Instruction 1145.01, which allows 4 percent of each year's recruits to be Category IV applicants—up from the 2 percent limit that had been in place since the mid-1980s [emphasis mine].

> Independent thought,or intelligence in general, are strongly discouraged unless you're lucky enough to be in one of the tiny,incredibly rare units that does something interesting.

Are you sure you're talking about intelligence? It sounds like your really talking more about independence of thought and obedience.

I could totally see the Army valuing obedience over intelligence, while still highly valuing intelligence (e.g. intelligence applied to fulfilling orders rather than questioning them).
Nice. How did you get the job? Did you build a complete application from front to back on your own? Or was it through a connection?
We can see the cost and they are signficantly less for TPU 2.0. But now Google has the 3.0.

But if we look at WaveNet we can see Google must be taking much larger margins with the TPU 2.0 versus Amazon using Nvidia.

Rolling out using a NN at 16k cycles a second and offering at a competitive price to the old way means Google TPUs have to be way more efficient than using anything from Nvidia.

It is hard to believe Google pulled it off. But if we look at WaveNet it suggests that TTS is a solved problem.

It will be how it is done for a very long time and just the NN will improve.

Nvidia honestly needs to get on their game. Google is running a 1000 mph. Iterating to the TPU 3.0 in just a year was a big surprise.

I suspect Capsule networks and dynamic routing which were invented by Google drove the TPU 3.0 but do not know.

Hope Google will share a paper now on the TPU 2.0 and their secrets.

Lucky for Nvidia they will share and Nvidia can copy. But just keeps Nvidia behind.
Firefox has major issues with scrolling and also with a lot of plugins that claim to be available on mobile but simply don't work. They need to do a marketing push because nobody wins when one browser has monopoly share on an OS, especially if it's the default browser.
but you have to be logged in for that setting to be effective and most of the time I'm not logged in when browsing YouTube...

Sometimes I just let it play in the background to eat up their bandwidth for no reason because i don't like stupid default settings. I get it that google is trying to turn the Internet into a TV, but soon you won't even have to type anything in Google Search... the results will come to you.
I didn't learn music through Youtube. So unfortunately, I'm not familiar with any videos that I would consider comprehensive or canonical. At best, I can share videos that highlight a particular pattern, or share examples of popular songs that I recognize as having a commonality. Which might give you a better feel for what music theory is.

Another thing to keep in mind is that musical patterns accrete into genres. And there's a wide variety of genres. So it's difficult for any single video to cover everything in detail. I think it's more common for videos to cover the patterns of a particular genre. E.g. if you're interested in Blues, consider searching for videos about Blues.

I remember the above Vox video highlights a unique chord which sounds "melty" and is often used in holiday music. The chord is known as a "minor_7th, diminished_5th" aka "m7d5".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pidokakU4I
This video is about the infamous "4-chord pop progression". It's ubiquitous on the radio. Elitists and connoisseurs tend to look down on it for appealing to casuals. The progression is "I V vi IV" (capital denotes major chords, lowercase denotes minor chords).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfjXp4KTTY8
When I think of the "12-Bar Blues (Chord Progression)", I think of Stevie Ray Vaughn's "Pride and Joy". But there's tons of educational videos on this. It's very popular in not only Blues, but Rock & Roll. It's "I I I I; IV IV I I; V IV I I". But things get interesting here because musicians often substitue "jazzy" chords like Dominant_7th's (aka V^7). For bonus points, look up "tritone" (N.B. Rock is truly the devil's music).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dISEg1ydQoM
I'm not actually sure what song I'm thinking of, but there's a particular trope often used in Hollywood films to denote a bullfight. It's based off the Phrygian Mode, which tends to sound very "spanish-y". In lieu, I've linked the the first bullfight track I found.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4fa44_sq2E
A genre I'm particularly fond of is House. Which is often characterized by its "Four on the Floor" drum beat. It's very simple, just continuous quarternotes of kicks. The rhythm is sometimes denoted "1 2 3 4" (where the structure of a single bar is "1 e & a 2 e & a 3 e & a 4 e & a"). The above video is Daft Punk's "Superheros".

And then there's Jazz. Which is hard to explain, because it's the genre where anything goes. And besides jazz, there's lots of other techniques and obscure genres that I can't possibly cover in a single post.

---------------

In any case, I'd suggest looking up a particular genre you like and studying it. If you're a musician, learn scales. 90% of pop music these days uses either Major or Natural Minor. But you can really expand your horizons by learning other scales. It's boring, but it builds a strong foundation. Like how a basketball player will run laps rather than shoot freethrows all day.

>What I don’t understand is why no major mobile carrier is offering a solution to this.

I remember at one of the WWDC keynotes, Tim Cook announced this as a new iPhone feature. But he also noted that it was only available in China. I wonder if whatever the Chinese carriers have done can be imported to the United States.

My wife's iPhone will occasionally get an incoming call with small text below reading "Possible spam." She never uses her phone for voice, so she never answers the phone anyway.
That's kind of the thing, though: Folks are using python to bang out trivial pieces of software all the time. Dynamic types are great for that.

Occasionally, those trivial pieces of software become non-trivial, in which case, having the ability to refactor with type hints is a good thing vs. a complete rewrite in a strongly typed language.
Democracy means rule by the people. It does NOT require that majority-rule be the mechanism (that is itself about the worst mechanism for democracy, second only to minority-rule).
> static types enforced at runtime

I'm sorry to break it to you, but that's an oxymoron. The whole idea of static types is that they don't need to be validated at runtime.

Python has a static type system which is gradual (ie. allows for untyped code) and is separate from the strongly but dynamically typed semantics of Python at runtime. Now, the static type system tries to mirror the dynamic semantics wherever it can, but it's still a completely separate beast. In other words, you don't enforce static types at runtime - you enforce dynamic types at runtime as usual and have an option of additionally using static type system. By the time you run the code, the static types are mostly gone. The fact that the static types reflect the dynamic type system produces an illusion that the static types remain, but they don't.

If what you said was true, the following code would not work:

x: int = 0
x = "0"
print(x)

but it's still a valid Python code which runs just fine.
A "blockchain smartphone" is pure marketing fluff.

What this phone really is (or aspires to be), is a "hardware wallet" for crypto assets.

It's a flawed idea - a secure hardware wallet doesn't need anything else "running" in the kernel. Mixing a hardware wallet with the complexity of a mobile OS is terrible. Your attack surface grows by orders of magnitude.

If, instead, you need the hardware wallet only for "small" instant payments, then you don't need any hardware in the phone - just install a simple app and use that one.
The speedy US ramp up in WWII is illusory, because the US essentially entered the war effort in 1940, well before its official entry in 1941.

That said, logistics has long been one of the core competencies of the US. As far back as the American Revolution, Henry Knox transported captured cannon at Fort Ticonderoga to Boston--in the middle of winter--and then installed them in a single night on Dorchester Heights, which forced the British evacuation of Boston. The Americans also managed a major supply route to China via an aerial airlift (The Hump), which became the template for supplying Berlin via airlift--something most military planners thought completely impossible until the British and the Americans pulled it off.

I agree, one-click deploy would be the next step. Hadn't seen helm, I was debating between k8s and rancher.

If possible I'd like to avoid an opinionated hosting service like Google Cloud Launcher or AWS ECS, but I recognize that it's probably necessary. The only open source one-click deploy I've seen is a church service[1], but the author of that project accomplished it by with a separate app that provisions the necessary DO droplets via API and presenting the credentials to the user.

That's odd, I consider myself to be firmly in group 2. I'm often fine with stating things I don't know. Yet I'm a big advocate of static type systems.

Starting with types allows you to play around with data models of the problem space quickly before committing a lot of code to provide a solution. At least that's my take on this.

Well...logic gates are (at a slightly abstracted level) just the reification of some of the logical concepts in computer science. Those concepts could be arrived at by observing the behavior of the gates.

Similarly, it seems like studying the frequencies and their relationships illuminates at least a portion of what music theory covers.

For those who are vocabulary stunted (like me apparently):

myopic: nearsighted.

vitriol: cruel and bitter criticism.
> Greed is just a pejorative term for self-interest

Greed is a correctly pejorative term for pursuing power and wealth beyond what people actually need to live well enough. Self-interest prior to reaching that point is not greed.

Capitalism is defined as private ownership of means of production and core resources. It doesn't inherently require greed.

I agree with your second paragraph, btw.

Not sure about NYC, but there are absolutely people in Chicago and Milwaukee who will call a rideshare (or insist that they pick up/be picked up by family) even though there is a city bus that goes literally directly door to door and the vehicle is sitting there ready to leave in a few minutes. It is depressing.

Anecdotally it is much worse in cases where the bus in question passes through areas where non-affluent white people will be getting on and off.
To be fair, the second half of the book (soon after he comes out of prison) is relatively poorly written compared to the first half. A lot of rambling, preaching and jumping around chronologically. I wonder if Alex just got lazy or had some kind of deadline to meet.
