Yeah okay, this doesn't work when moving between significantly different markets, all the decent solutions tend to be designed for centralized markets (by necessity, you'd want at least the laws to be compatible) and the standards work for switching between institutions in that market (or using multiple institutions at once) but not for relocation, unless it's between USA states or Eurozone countries. The global situation is quite fragmented. A good solution that works in Germany won't work in Singapore, and vice versa.

However, I'd wager that it still counts as a small niche for payments - even if we take all expatriates into account (though those who have relocated for years are essentially part of the local market), that is estimated to be something like 50-60 million people worldwide, so less than 1% of individuals (it's worth noting that businesses of various sizes, not individuals, make up most of payments) so experience and needs of people who move around the world (beyond short-term business and tourism) are unusual and do not reflect the needs of the mainstream market. Even if extended travel becomes much more popular (which is not a given, there is a trend in restricting migration), it might go from 1% to 2% of population and still not affect the larger trends.

Yes? My 75D had an entire second shaved off of its 0 - 60 time. I was aware of the change and was able to deal with it just fine...

I'm also not sure what the alternative you're imagining here is. Take it in to a shop just to have them install the update for you? I also don't see how this is any different than changing worn out brakes on an old ICE car. I had the brakes changed in my old '97 Accord, and the difference was noticeable when I pulled it out of the driveway. I think you need to give people a little more credit...

Also, the Whats Changed prompt literally takes up the entire 17in touch screen. It's sort of hard to miss.
I don't have much hope for us finding a legal definition of what psychological strings you are and aren't allowed to tug on and how hard. War crimes set a line for tugging until they break. It's a lot easier to define "way too much" than "too much".

>I don't think Windows gives an administrator account unfettered access to the full RAM, no.

Are you sure? Typically root has access to the full RAM on an unx system. Unless this is linked to a hardware TPM module I'm not sure why and how it would be protected. Maybe I'm wrong to assume that Windows Administrator == unx root?

Anyway, if the OS has a way to hide some of its state from even the admin then surely it could use it to hide the unencrypted SSH key in RAM instead of hiding the key-to-the-registry-key? My main argument is that at some point if the OS doesn't want to prompt the user for a password it must have access to the private key one way or an other, so I'm not convinced that Windows is more (or less) secure than Linux in this situation.

This is one of those things that make me very pessimistic about the future of our civilisation.

Instead of empowering common folk and accelerating our potential as a species what is happening is our thoughts, interests, fears, relationships and most intimate secrets gradually become a commodity in the hands of a few powerful companies.

The trend is clear and I am really fearful for my children's future.

It's really depressing to watch the world change into something many of mankind's greatest thinkers feared the most.

For those living in California, this issue of requiring arbitration contracts in the pre-employment stage is under consideration from the state legislature, and the bill has some heat on it.

This bill would prohibit an employer from, as a condition of employment or as a condition of entering into a contractual agreement, prohibiting an employee or independent contractor from disclosing to any person an instance of sexual harassment that the employee or independent contractor suffers, witnesses, or discovers in the workplace or in the performance of the contract. The bill would also prohibit an employer from requiring any applicant for employment or prospective employment or any employee to waive any right, forum, or procedure for a violation of any provision of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) or other specific statutes governing employment, as a condition of employment, continued employment, or the receipt of any employment-related benefit. The bill would also prohibit an employer from threatening, retaliating or discriminating against, or terminating any applicant for employment or prospective employment or any employee because of the refusal to consent to the waiver of any right, forum, or procedure for a violation of specific statutes governing employment. The bill would establish a specific exemption from those prohibitions. Because a violation of these prohibitions would be a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The few times I have been without a car, I avoided going anywhere because having to Uber makes it very real how much I'm spending just to go out each and every time. Like going to the park or to the grocery store. So instead I sat inside.

I'll never go without owning a car again. The ability to travel freely and not feel some psychological burden about doing it is more than worth the cost of a car to me.

There's nothing respectable about under 80 for an intercity train which has 0 stops over 40km. In Europe this is an average speed more closely associated with commuter train, or the regional trains with relatively frequent stops (every 5~10km).

Unfortunate hit piece.

Even worse than having your peers crap on you, is the author stating that you wish these crappy remarks don't define your profile (like they did previous profiles), and then having exactly that happen.

This will now probably forever be his angle in the popular media: Godfather of AI, mistaken, scoffed at by his peers. Not necessarily wrong, but not flattering either.

I can relate to the gut-wrenching feeling of seeing your ideas being bandied around as original, without any attribution. Of course someone in the field of reinforcement learning is obsessed with the credit assignment problem, no matter the time passed. How can AI researchers hope to solve this pressing problem, when they can't even assign credit to the originators of their ideas?

I wonder if this harsh piece would have been written the way it was, if the author realized that Schmidhuber may be on the spectrum, and that his erratic and obsessive behavior is an ailment, not a deliberate choice.

On the contrary, the image itself is uncomfortably well suited to make a point. This comment is a classic example of defending an obvious absurdity of capitalism by appealing to the overall system.

It's true that individuals are all acting rationally, and that imposing limits on exports would not be a panacea. However, at the most basic level, it is monstrous that food exports are happening in the context of local starvation. The rationality of the outcome within capitalism shouldn't blind us to the absurdity of the outcome itself.

But we don't know if she had him as role model, so again you're guessing. I could just as easily make opposite guess: do you know how easy it is to manipulate men by dangling sex in front of them?

It seems to me that, if you have to give away your labor for free to get your foot in the door, you have picked a career that will not go well. Even once you get a job, you may have to keep schmoozing and have "sharp elbows" to keep others from taking it from you. If you have to give away your labor to get started, that is valuable information in and of itself, but not in the way the author intended, I think.

Not sure if you read the article but what they were testing is pretty much emergency braking from 60mph to full stop.

So the goal is not regenerate the battery (and it doesn't matter if the driver was "an electric neophyte"), it's to brake hard and to repeat the process a couple of times to see if you get brake fade.

From the article: Our testers get a car up to 60 mph, then slam on the brakes until the car comes to a stop. They repeat this multiple times to ensure consistent results. Between each test, the vehicle is driven approximately a mile to cool the brakes and make sure they don’t overheat.

This is a hugely weak argument. Any legitimate complaint about bad service is likely to sound similar to a false accusation of bad service - that's the whole point, right? Sure a bad actor might say a girl was bawling her eyes out, but there's no reason why a real complainant wouldn't as well.
The person you're replying to presented no such false dichotomy. They said when was the last time they sided with the people WHEN they were in opposition, not that they were always in opposition.

I started learning Haskell a few months ago and am currently going through the later chapters of Haskell from first principle. A major hurdle when it comes to libraries like quick check or Trifecta (the topic of the current chapter) is precisely what is alluded to in the readme for Tintin: type signatures are probably totally fine for experts, but for someone still relatively new to programming and especially new to Haskell they are kind of the 2nd step. The first one is just figuring out where to start and what are the typical use cases for the library. Which type signatures should I even be looking at first, what is typically used together,and so forth.

If more Haskell libraries had just a bit of soft documentation at least I would be extremely happy about that. It's pretty much my major hurdle when it comes to Haskell. The syntax I not only got used to, but really love now. The concepts that are taught are just complicated. Frankly monads expressed in my primary language, Javascript, are even harder to understand because of all the syntax noise. But the one thing that at least personally consider needlessly complicated is the lack of beginner friendly documentation.

Using Spider storage engine in Mariadb it is possible to do this by having vertical partitions using different partition by clauses [1]. Essentially you will create sub tables with the partition by clauses, then use a spider table to reference these subtables. Spider than intelligently will select the partition to use based on the query and where clause. The downside of this is it will require storage of the data multiple times on disk, since each subtable needs the full data set. Spider does handle inserting the data, so once schemas are build, only the single spider table is needed for inserts/selects/updates.

In addition to this, in 10.4 it was mentioned spider is working to have internal joins. This means it would be possible to have 1 table defined with the full data set, then a second table that just has id, datefield partition by id. When you select WHERE id = X, it will read from the small table partitioned by id, find the dates, then join against the larger table to pull in remaining columns/data. This isn't mentioned in the presentation linked, but it was brought up in discussion at the mariadb developers unconference.

> Wouldn't the corollary of Friedman's position be that if businesses take actions that people in society find offensive (such as preying on vulnerable individuals), that those people should therefore work to change the law?

I've had exactly that said to me in a discussion of pollution: I.e. someone actually said that corporations should pollute to make more profit to the legally allowed extent of the law, to maximize shareholder value, and then they can pass laws to reduce the legally allowed pollution levels, rather than just instructing management to not pollute.

In this case, I think an original intent reading and a living Constitution reading lead to the same place. But I only mention that because the decision references intent; original intent scholarship is rare in general and basically absent on the court.

Original meaning is what's currently represented on the court, and is as you say: "the law must not change under modern conditions". That's what I'm suggesting was abandoned by its usual practitioners today.
