Your timeline is wrong. Bernard Brodie came up with Nuclear deterrence in 1946. The Soviets would have read his work or understood the implicatikns. There was a reason they raced to get the bomb.

However a coup is a military overthrow of a government. What the Catalonians tried to organise is a vote, not a coup.

$100K for a bomb? I have no idea what bombs really cost, but if we go with that number, they could have dropped a lot of bombs for that price. One junior engineer working for a year costs that much. We know that expertise in a lot of fields existed, that implies a number of engineers.

I'm going to guess a bomb is cheaper. Of course a bomb has a lot of other disadvantages which is why it wasn't used.
Woz is always interesting to listen to. He seems really humble and yet not afraid to try anything. Really inspiring.
>> The most disturbing thing is, if asked how they sleep at night, I would have no doubt the sheriff's officers would have no hesitation in saying 'perfectly fine, thank you'.

What amazes me is that these officers and their families live in the same city/county or even in the same neighborhood with these alleged criminals,
and yet they feel perfectly OK to let them walk away and instead catch some random black guy and send him to be executed.
How much you should not care about your own family, yourself, friends,... to do that?
How much hate one should have toward other race(s), to be able to send someone innocent from that race to be executed, solely based on the skin color?
The impact of epigenetics can be powerful.

A neat example is sex, one of the most obvious and striking axes of biological variation. Unlike humans where the presence or absence of an entire chromosome (X or Y) determines sex, there are turtles and reptiles that determine their sex based on ambient temperature alone.

The logical consequence is that a pair of female and male turtle twins can share exactly the same genome yet be different sexes — their sex is determined solely by how their genome is read (epigenetics).
These are semi-good reasons for games of the past but I thought this was actually less of a problem these days with the rise of cross-platform game engines. If you use Unity or something, porting your 2018-era game to Mac or Linux should be a recompile at most.

The other thread mentions the business cost of releasing and supporting these other platforms, which I totally understand.
The claim is that it is the same pattern independent of the number of integers per dot.
Yep. I think that I know vim well enough, it was a time when I spend months in vim writing C++. vim really shines when you need to do some repetitive tasks. But I've found out that in recent years I don't have those tasks. I'm using Intellij Idea now. If I need to do some repetitive thing, I either rethink the task; use search-replace with regex or just use Idea multiple cursors. Sure, vim might be a little bit better at text editing, but given that I'm spending may be 1% of time on text editing, this optimization just doesn't matter. I tried IdeaVim and decided to stay with traditional hotkeys.

But my vim knowledge helps me every time I need to configure a Linux server, so it wasn't a completely useless experience after all.
> others have just passed an infected person on the subway and died.

Who? That's a false, alarmist rumor and the parent reads like a "technothriller", which is probably the wrong way to talk about real diseases that might alarm people. Remember during the Ebola epidemic in West Africa, some people coming to the U.S., including a nurse who was effectively imprisoned, were subject of a public panic that had nothing to do with reality. There was no risk. Ebola, like any disease, is contagious only in certain ways. The U.S. CDC says:

https://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/transmission/index.html

The virus spreads through direct contact (such as through broken skin or mucous membranes in the eyes, nose, or mouth) with:

* Blood or body fluids (urine, saliva, sweat, feces, vomit, breast milk, and semen) of a person who is sick with or has died from EVD

* Objects (such as needles and syringes) contaminated with body fluids from a person sick with EVD or the body of a person who died from EVD

* Infected fruit bats or nonhuman primates (such as apes and monkeys)

* Semen from a man who recovered from EVD (through oral, vaginal, or anal sex)

The Ebola virus CANNOT spread to others when a person shows no signs or symptoms of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD). ... There is also no evidence that mosquitoes or other insects can transmit Ebola virus.

Please don't spread these rumors. EDIT: It also distracts people from the real risks.

In context it is equivalent. This thread is about why the EU wouldn't write a law that only affects US based tech firms, if that was the intention. Someone answered that there's no need because there are no EU based tech firms worth anything (no significant employment or tax revenue).

That point was correct. The responses all ended up naming either firms that are tiny, or which aren't any longer based in the EU (so there's no need to protect them from the effects of bad laws that primarily affect tech firms). Where they started is irrelevant to the discussion because what matters is who pays fines today.
It takes _ages_ to start up, for one thing. Debian, on the exact same hardware, starts up in seconds - Windows 7 takes minutes. You might argue that Windows is offering more functionality, but OS/X also starts orders of magnitude faster. There's no visibility on what the hell it's doing or how you can tune it. Wifi is hit-and-miss, and again, there's no way to peek into the internals and figure out what's going wrong. Configuration options are scattered everywhere; sometimes they're in control panel, sometimes they're in some random .msc file, sometimes they're just somewhere else for no reason. Linux is persnickety, but open - it takes some dedication to get things working, but you have the tools you need to do so. OS/X is closed, but "just works". Windows is persnickety, closed, and only sometimes works - you get the worst of Linux with the worst of OS/X and none of the good.
Without knowing the details, I'm curious if Jobs made the decision based on a deep understanding of the issue, or if he just trusted John more than the Apple engineer.

The other day out of curiosity I was searching for basic words on ImageNet: cat, dog, man, woman.

Here is the page for "woman" http://image-net.org/search?q=woman

I was surprised to notice a couple of things:

- There are categorizations for "mistress", "slut", and "adultress". The closest analogs for "man" appear to be "playboy", "stud", and "pimp". There is also a "foolish woman" and doesn't appear to be an analog for man.

- Look at the pictures for "mistress". Many if not most of them are just women in their bathing suits or doing other normal things, like laying in a bed with a man. The same is true for "slut". Does this mean AIs using ImageNet could look at a woman on a beach and categorize her as a "slut"?

- There is a category for "honest woman", which appears to be three pictures of a woman standing next to a man.

I'm not saying anybody is at fault or that the people who put ImageNet together did this intentionally. After all, it does reflect the (unfortunate) reality of how our society often perceives images of women.

But before I poked through that dataset, it wouldn't have occurred to me how important it is that we focus on equality and non-discrimination when it comes to AI. This declaration seems like an interesting step.
>False positives are always a big problem. False negatives are usually much smaller one.

I would agree with you if the supply and demand weren't so skewed towards top developers. Do you think you are choosing between A and D people, or are you really choosing between C and D people and A and B people never walk through the door?
I've had a surprising experience with hiring data scientists in the last year. I have hired two (one full-time and one part-time) and am in the process of hiring a third. During this time I have also been looking for a SugarCRM or SuiteCRM developer.

I have been flooded with candidates for the data science position. There seems to be a glut of well qualified [1] data scientist applicants. I have turned down many candidates who I think would also have done well in the position. The CRM developer position has been extremely difficult to fill. This has had the effect of bringing the salary of those two positions in our company to near equivalence. My initial expectations for the salaries were that the data scientist would be paid substantially more than the CRM developer. I know that Sugar/SuiteCRM aren't super popular but it also could be that I have been effected by all the attention that ML and AI have gotten over recent years.

[1] well qualified for us has generally meant masters level or above with real work experience. maybe this definition is the source of the 'glut' of applicants?
Because people keep requiring an interface to the machine...
I was initially thinking the same, but I don't think that's the case. This will help you find a small range of six potential primes (pick any element on the left edge of the triangle). But you're still required to calculate the factorizations on those six numbers to determine which of them are indeed prime.

'Most people won't want to convert one car parking spot'

>> I guess then it comes down to who decides the parking spot allocation rules. Politicians/city managers who are accountable to city residents? I'd imagine a lot of car drivers are people coming in from the suburbs outside the city who do not have voting rights, whereas bike/scooter riders are more likely to be local and could vote in the city elections.

>> Or alternatively, the city could just mark/paint out dedicated spots on the existing sidewalk that are currently underutilized (i.e. out of the way of existing pedestrian traffic) and that ends up with more city revenue. Plus with dedicated spots, the scooter charging team then can further optimizing the daily charging routes.

I knew a person a few years back who's business was selling scrap electronics to a company in Russia. They would salvage all sorts of electronic equipment, strip them down and sort everything out and send it all to Russia in a container. It was a pretty lucrative business, at least it appeared so.
"In contrast to prior claims, we show that the Chinese regime's strategy is to avoid arguing with skeptics of the party and the government, and to not even discuss controversial issues. We show that the goal of this massive secretive operation is instead to distract the public and change the subject, as most of the these posts involve cheerleading for China, the revolutionary history of the Communist Party, or other symbols of the regime."

Sensible. Cuts, however, against my mental caricature of an astroturfing shill.
I find that even a highly curated subreddit subscription adds little value to my life. A subreddit often looks appealing at first, but after a few weeks I notice a pattern in the submissions, and I notice the echo chamber in the comment section.

> So your logic could be applied to GPG and argued that it is broken.

That's a pretty common claim and has been for a long time. It's not just verification of identity, but verification of integrity that the encryption is supposed to enforce. Instead, it throws a warning for one case and will not decrypt for another. The binary client is broken, as a security tool (insofar as it fails to provide the security it claims). If the integrity of the message is compromised, why show a version of the decrypted message at all? There's no guarantee that's correct and has led to this.
probably a good idea, but I've always gotten by with selecting text, then just `:!pbcopy && pbpaste` when I need to get something TO the system clipboard.
You can’t infer empathy from someone’s outward behaviors. People can do terrible shit and feel awful about it at the same time.
This is something I think we'll definitely need to discuss more to try to figure out a good definition (and I know it's not simple at all), but in general I'd love to be able to have groups that support "adult" discussions, but not ones that are just for posting things for sexual gratification, if that makes sense. So for example, a BDSM discussion community would be fine, but not one solely for posting links to BDSM porn.

It's not that I'm opposed to porn or anything, but I've seen how many issues (legal, spam, etc.) can be attracted by directly supporting porn, and I feel like it would push in a very different direction from my main objectives for the site. There are plenty of other places people can find porn on the internet.
Yes, currently it is only available for people searching for jobs in the US. I would say the answer is yes long-term, but probably not over the next few months.
This is just an annoying, lightly disguised advertisement (with a sketchy pop-up begging you for permission to do some undefined thing with your computer—send notifications presumably).

etc.
This is for the Mac App Store, which doesn't do subscriptions as far as I'm aware. And this isn't just about free trials: upgrade pricing is difficult as well.
That comment was in response to the previous poster saying the FBI raided the persons house. I wanted to put it in context: the judge agreed to let the FBI raid the persons house based on evidence. There is a system in place to prevent the FBI from arbitrarily raiding people's houses.

It's a justification because they had to provide evidence to a judge who had to assess it given our laws. What better system should I expect? If it's not a system problem and so there's a particular failing in this case, please point it out.

How was the authority given to the Chinese security services? This is a very important detail, because you can setup systems with checks and balances and laws or you can give carte blanche.
This remind me a bit of my elementary school math teacher who’d usually answer any question or curiosity with a dismissive “you don’t have to understand it you just have to do it”.

That didn’t help spark any particular interest in the field. It’s very difficult to learn something that doesn’t interest me.

I later ended up failing high school math, which made it difficult to get accepted for my college education. I was accepted on the condition that I’d take the math course again, and pass the exam within 6 months.

Incidentally (and fortunately) I studied philosophy and business administration. Philosophy (and particularly the ancient Greeks) got me much more excited about math, and I got an A in my exam shortly after.

Just a personal anecdote, but thought you might find it interesting.

Any "tropey power move" should be criticized.

Didn't you just criticize it by the category? When I was raising capital I definitely heard VC's making fun of men who spoke in a false voice, practiced their handshake, or artificially held eye contact way too long.

I'm fine if you want to say my criticism of Holmes is influenced by sexism.

But to make the statement that men speaking in a stupid fake voice get zero criticism... is hyperbole to point ridiculousness.

Well, he clearly says, the test was to expose the "negative effect of cheap static on-demand tests" and not that others copied from them, because this seems to be routine and they do the same.
I agree. Distraction can be really disruptive to having meaningful, productive discussions. I think many people even do it reflexively even if they're not getting paid or instructed to. There was a recent HN post about terrible reeducation camps in Xinjiang [1]. Almost no one talked about the heartbreaking story or what it might mean, as most of the comments were tired derails into "the US is bad, too" territory and responses to them. I'm pretty sure the story got quickly buried because the flame-war detector got tripped. I'm sure the Chinese censors' hearts would flutter a little if they learned about that.

I know I understand best what a philosopher says when I no longer feel as though I were reading and instead feel like s/he is talking to me through the pages. I would liken understanding a technical concept to being able to reproduce what another person did. Understanding a philosopher requires something like building up their worldview from their words. I’d liken it to being able to reproduce what the person thought and did.
Are you saying that there are no zero-days for platforms other than Windows? There could just as well have been a Linux computer used as interface to the embedded system that runs the centrifuges, that could be owned.
This is both, correct, and useless.
Latching on is an odd way to describe something that happened repeatedly. You're dismissing Jobs singular talent: assembling groups of skilled people and giving them an environment that let them create incredible things. He was genius level at this.

I think Woz is down on Jobs, but Lasseter, Catmull, Ive, Cook, Fred Anderson and others all spoke highly of him.
Secure and power the intelligent edge with Azure Sphere: Build 2018
This is lacking in details:

- What OS image(s) were used? This would aid in reproducibility.

- What tool was used for benchmarking? Preferably with the configuration so I could reproduce it.

- What GCE instance is used? I assume you will bottleneck on something other than I/O if comparing a very small GCE instance to a very large AWS instance.

I will probably benchmark this on my own at some point now that my interest is piqued, but if you have already done the work to benchmark this I'd love to hear more. So far though it's too vague for me to use meaningfully. Is there a blog post or other material that is publicly accessible? I've Googled for such before but come up surprisingly empty handed.

(2) His regulator contact you, tells you that wht you're doing is bad: you have some stuff in opt-out, not clicking "opt-in" cause a degradation of service, or you are sending him 3rd party cookies he did not accept.

(3) Depending on the complexity and your ressources, you have X months to comply.

(4) You got caught again, you are fined.

The vim way is to simply escape out of insert mode, do your movement commands, then go back in.

But you can also use ctrl+o [movement command] while in insert mode to do one-off movements and end up back in insert afterwards.

I honestly don't think however that you betray any vim sacred cows by using the arrow keys, or even the mouse when they are convenient. Such as when in insert mode.

hjkl is just much more convenient in normal mode while your hands are already in the right position.
