I think it is a lot more complicated than that.

I have an incurable medical condition. I am frequently incredibly miserable. I am frequently suicidal, in part because it is literally the only means to really escape the misery my body inflicts upon me.

I am pro right to die. There are circumstances under which it is cruel to act like wanting to end this situation the only way it can be ended is somehow crazy.

I am still here. I am doing all I can to pursue non-drug alternatives, for which the entire world gives me shit. That also fuels my suicidal ideation because it is such a no win, fuck you situation on so many levels.

But I wish people would not simplify this for some feel good PSA and act like wanting to die is simply evidence you are crazy. It is just not quite that cut and dried.
> PS. the partner categories program has actually been discontinued as of April 2018, so these third parties will no longer be able to syndicate their data to all FB ads users in the future.

One thing to point out is that it's true that the Partner program itself has been discontinued, which gets rid of all the 3rd party targeting categories within the self-service interface using Facebook-managed data integrations with those firms.

But the ToS[1] rewrite effective 5/25/18 goes out of it's way to ensure that they don't outright prohibit the use of third party data. They just effectively decentralized the usage of it and require ad buyers and the data brokers to have a direct relationship now, and leverage the custom audience functionality you mentioned to do the targeting. And in so doing allowed themselves to become willfully blind to the usage of 3rd party data plus shifting liability onto the advertiser for usage of it.

Why make your own token? Why not use an already-existing currency like Nano or something?

One (modest) force that coerces the market: you nearly always must attend law school. Unlike Lincoln, John Adams, Marshall, et al, you have to get a degree from a law school in order to become an attorney. Apprenticeship is peanuts compared to getting a degree (provided you can find a sponsor). There's a handful of US states that still permit apprenticeship, but most do not.

Maybe you're misremembering? This is what Chief Justice Rehnquist said,

Speaking for myself, I think it does make
a difference: In a significant minority of
the cases in which I have heard oral
argument, I have left the bench feeling
differently about a case than I did when
I came on the bench. The change is seldom
a full one-hundred-and-eighty-degree swing,
and I find that it is most likely to occur
in cases involving areas of law with which
I am least familiar.

-- Rehnquist, William H.. The Supreme Court
(Kindle Locations 4154-4157).[1]

Especially as politics and the law has become more partisan (ideologically if not according to party), of course oral argument will be less likely to change the ultimate judgment. But in a caselaw system as ours reasoning is nearly as important, and sometimes more important, than the particular judgment. Just look at the way the Federal Arbitration Act jurisprudence has played out. The most recent decisions are utterly divorced from the text and history of the relevant legislation and only make sense if you track the chain of reasoning in the preceding caselaw.

It might be different in different regions and different markets. Here VCs definitely don't check (or care). I find that they are generally more interested in buzzword bingo on a more abstract level; AI, ML, Blockchain etc. That said, I'm not building a religion; if the latest tech is a business goal, then it will happen.

And i'm also not sure if it's true that 'we' would be slower to learn these things; I keep on top because, I feel, that as CTO, I need to understand what is out there and if there is something promising that can help us long term, I want to be early to find it. So I do learn every new fad, and, not to sound cocky because I believe it's just experience, there is not much to learn; they are all, in a lot of ways, rehashes. Sometimes you see something really innovative, but that's not the thing that ends up being a fad or even remotely popular. After 30+ years of programming in many different technologies/projects (especially the functional experience helps a lot these days) etc it is easy to recognize the patterns and the goals the programmer was going for when building that new tech. Not that I would want that job as a non-cto at a startup :)
Wait, what? "Eliminate" cats? They're trying to save cats, not kill them.

It's nice they want to save cats ... it's not nice they're doing it at the expense of other species.

Google has lots of money; around $26 Billion in annual profits. So, INSTEAD of tagging them with RFID chips, building cat-huts, setting out cat food, and all that nonsense.

HOW ABOUT AN OFF-SITE CAT SHELTER sponsored (paid for) by Google?? Employees could even sign-up to give pre-tax charitable contributions to the Google shelter. A shelter would save their cats along with the neighborhood fauna. Right? Everybody happy?
I’m not sure if it’s a language issue or a research vs clinical practice issue, but this sounds like something that diffusion tensor imaging would used for with special analysis packages for analyzing the volume and spatial relationships of neurons.

The software shown is for CT data, which is abysmal for evaluating white matter bundles. Any links to your research? Always useful to learn about other applications of imaging.

I've plenty of experience with both hardware and virtual machines, I just don't use AWS myself much. I can get something like 800k read ops/sec from a 4core raspberry pi2, and I hope the AWS instance isn't that terrible.

with mc-crusher:

./mc-crusher conf/someconfigfile ipaddress port

https://github.com/memcached/mc-crusher/blob/master/conf/asc... - this is a decent read test with pipelining (give the test a few seconds to get through its sets). The inbound requests are pipelined, but it'll still send each get response in individual packets. This is what I use to test syscall/interrupt overhead.

https://github.com/memcached/mc-crusher/blob/master/conf/mge... this is the same thing, but with mgets. I'd copy the set line from ascii too:

send=ascii_set,recv=blind_read,conns=10,key_prefix=foobar,key_prealloc=0,pipelines=4,stop_after=200000,usleep=1000,value_size=10
send=ascii_mget,recv=blind_read,conns=50,mget_count=50,key_prefix=foobar,key_prealloc=1

can vary the value_size to and mget_count to see how that changes things. You can also pre-warm with the 'bench-warmer' script that comes with it, or remove stop_after and adjust usleep to adjust get/set ratios.

Watch top on the client host, and if mc-crusher is capping out its CPU cores, add more lines to the test but with the (confusing, sorry) threading enabled:

send=ascii_set,recv=blind_read,conns=10,key_prefix=foobar,key_prealloc=0,pipelines=4,stop_after=200000,usleep=1000,value_size=10
send=ascii_mget,recv=blind_read,conns=50,mget_count=50,key_prefix=foobar,key_prealloc=1
send=ascii_mget,recv=blind_read,conns=50,mget_count=50,key_prefix=foobar,key_prealloc=1,thread=1

That puts the first two tests on the "main" thread, then spawns an extra thread for the third test. you can keep copy/pasting that last line until the client or the server are saturated.

edit: sorry, the enc/compression question:

1) compression is typically done in the client to reduce bandwidth overhead. It's not very useful in the server.

2) encryption is becoming more popular, but doesn't currently exist much. The mainline OSS doesn't even have TLS support yet. Almost all use cases are on internal networks. FPGA's could potentially help there... aes-ni on intel cpu's isn't awful though.

My PhD is in transitional flows, in particular the transition from laminar to turbulent boundary layers under elevated freestream turbulence — so flows like that over the roof of your car, but you also see them on gas turbine blades as well as subsonic aircraft wings.

We typically refer to these puffs as turbulent spots. They manifest in many ways. Lots of researchers generate them artificially with a wall disturbance however they can occur all by themselves. A boundary layer velocity profile can become unstable vis T-S waves [0] and via a complex mechanism generate turbulent spots. They grow spatially until the boundary layer is saturated. On the other hand freestream turbulence can buffer the outer part of the boundary layer resulting in a streaky flow near the wall. These streaks can interact locally and generate spots of their own bypassing the T-S process entirely. However after the onset the growth of spots to saturate the boundary layer is remarkably similar. You can download an enormous DNS database of just a single flow case here if you like. [1]

>Excuse me... but as a millennial, and knowing many other millennials that also care, we do absolutely care.

I think by Millenials he really meant to say Gen Z.

"Millenials" has become a catch-all term for "young people" over the past 10 years, but the reality is that we are no longer the youngest generation. Older folks just haven't caught up to that fact yet. Anyone below age 25 now is a completely different generation from us. "Getting" Snapchat and Venmo seems to be the dividing line.

The problem with agile methodologies, or any other software methodology, is that they can't solve the problem that the managers pushing them want solved: predict, with near certainty, how long it will take to create a non-trivial bit of software. The old XP that modern "agile" grew out of explicitly reminded adopters that this was, by definition, impossible, but that reality was cast aside when it was found to be too inconvenient. So we have legions of people pretending something that is demonstrably untrue is true.
This seems like a lost opportunity for a full fledged YouTube competitor.

I know video isn't trivial, but if you're going for it, might as well go big. There are lots of YouTube creators that have been demonetized and are resented at them. It seems like a great opportunity to start capturing little pieces of that huge pie. Almost every YT creator that I follow has been hit with a few copyright strikes, most of them are not even fighting back anymore. Why not offer those «selected» videos a new home? For them, even if on Imgur they earn $1 dollar, it's $1 dollar they are not seeing from YouTube.

With some luck they can start to get some niche YouTubers, and after that, a few years later you have a full YT competitor.

This thread is old, but for the sake of archives:

BLIS actually tells you how to write a fast production large-matrix GEMM, and the papers linked from https://github.com/flame/blis would be a better reference than the Goto and van de Geijn.

For small matrices see the references from https://github.com/hfp/libxsmm but you're not likely to be re-implementing that unless you're serious about a version on non-x86_64.

If the civil suit is about medical treatment, do you really think posting responsive documents to the court docket is a HIPAA violation?

If it's not posted under seal, then yes. Particularly if it's posted as part of the initial filing and not as a response.
At this point there are too many network effects around venmo, if you're splitting the BBQ with 5 people and 4 have venmo and you don't, it's not as convenient for the requester. That's why I got venmo initially, and now it's super easy to request money from friends and 2nd degree friends, since my network is all venmo. I know 1 person who uses square cash and he's over 40, and I know 2 or 3 less tech-literate friends who use paypal and refuse to try venmo. It's just a hassle to split costs with them because I have to do it in 2 apps instead of adding everyone to the same request in venmo.
The first part gives a really great description of a senior engineer.
Cryptocurrency Attacks Are Rising
You seem like you know what you're talking about. A few years ago, I got a Facebook message from a girl that lived in my town. She said something like "This is really weird, but did you have shoulder surgery by X doctor last October? If so, that surgeon just did my knee and after my rehab told me that she thought you and I would be a good match. Would you want to grab dinner sometime?"

I was really confused. Wasn't this a HIPAA violation? If yes, what do you even do about it? Feels like a cause for concern if your doctor is also trying to play cupid? What should I do/have done?

What URL did you try to generate a PDF from? The PDF APi replies with a 422 when it can not connect to the requested URL.

My own observations were that roundabouts tended to perform better than intersections with time division utilization and also didn't require any signaling infrastructure.

Modifications to roundabouts that added dedicated bypass routes for higher traffic / shorter path (merge to closest output without being part of the main queue) were inexpensive upgrades.

The same general observation also applied to higher scale variations where the core loop was either factored out entirely (every route has a dedicated path); applying more complexity (expensive) lead to better results.

Of course the real world has different needs than this over-simplified simulation.

Terrain and political situations impose limits on usable work area while use patterns can vary widely. Worse solutions that used to work in the past can be woefully incorrect as the world around them changes.

The example that comes to my mind is the pattern in urban areas, especially like Seattle with heavy geographic constraints that make alternate routes untenable, where the old "most commuters go in to the city in the morning and leave in the evening" break entirely as jobs flee the expensive urban core and leave workers trying to traverse the choke points where cross traffic was never designed in.
Could be. I used PayPal to transfer money to friends before it was even accepted on eBay, but obviously that's a pretty niche example.

It looks like Venmo is ~2x as popular as Square Cash from this recode article:

And a few other good data points/comparisons.

(One source points out that Square Cash followed Square Wallet and Square Order; I used Square Wallet because I also had their card-reader from back in the day, so this goes back to at least 2011).

You are missing the entire point of this thread, my first comment:

>I can't afford the legal costs to prove my innocence against a foreign government anymore than I could afford a $20 million fine. (there's no limit to how many times they can attempt to fine you, even if you are innocent every time)

This is just _one_ person/entity suing these companies (not even the government). Unless they want a default judgement against them, they have to pay lawyers to defend these suits.

They are being sued under the GDPR, the complaints linked on noyb.eu are not "misleading" they are legal documents that have been submitted to the courts. That's what a lawsuit is. It doesn't matter who initiated it or why.

Yeah well Yelp considers negative reviews to be their own exclusive revenue stream.
Maybe from a UI standpoint, but all of the competitors are pretty similar. Minus network effect, of course. Nobody in my network uses Venmo, for example, but apparently I'm an outlier.

With all of them, you can find a way to use it for free. Eg, if the service you use doesn't support free bank transfers, you link it with a debit card for free transfers.

even if this is not accurate and the woman exaggerated her claims, just look at all the comments in this post. She already got the effect she was looking for.

People freak out the moment they hear privacy violation. They get angry and stop thinking. The comment above from AdmiralAsshat already says "the practice should be shut down". Some comments above say "it's an open and shut case" without even knowing the details of the proceedings.

I'm slowly getting towards my ideal with my latest addition of a treadmill, motorized desk, and 4k monitors. I definitely could use more above-desk power though. I enjoy having oversized desks that are large enough to stretch my legs out under when I do sit, like 30-36"+. A great set up I had was when two 30" table tops met in a corner - there was about 45" of legroom there! Chairs and lighting are always important too, and I definitely put some emphasis on color. I used a warm, cozy brown in a cold climate, and a lighter blue in a gray and rainy climate. I do try to have a view and natural light, otherwise it gets a little bland, and I like having both overhead lights and task lighting.

In an ideal world I'd have more audio options than just headphones and Sonos. It'd be awesome to have in-wall high quality speakers, but headphones will suffice for now. If I could get a water supply and coffee/espresso maker in the room too, that'd be sweet, but it's probably good to move around and go to the kitchen every now and again.

App wise, RescueTime and WakaTime have been interesting products for getting and keeping focus. In the past I've engaged in "rituals" to get in the zone like certain playlists, beverages, an Esington hour glass for pomodoros. But other pomodoro apps have been reasonably effective too.

I like having a couple "things" around, e.g. art, tchotchkes, that are meaningful, but I lean towards (what I think of as) an art-gallery-meets-cozy-reading-space type of aesthetic - a few books, a couple choice pieces of art, etc.

I'd love to eventually have a separate work space - a little shed/nook in the backyard, that I could spec out with all the "wishes," but alas that dream will have to wait a bit longer...
