I feel lucky as a Jewish American that I live in a country where the rights of Nazi's are respected.

I do not want to get into a legal argument of if CloudFlare is allowed to discriminate (they likely are). But I do want to live in a world where they are not allowed to.

First they came for the Nazis, and I did not speak out because I hate Nazis.

Then, they came for me, and there were no institutional protections, because they would have protected those damn Nazis.
Well, it's not entirely unlike a general American accent. First of all, it's rhotic. Then, some of the vowels sound more American than their contemporary English / British counterparts.

Apart from a few dropped h's, which could be attributed to London, where Shakespeare spent much of his life, it's not unlikely that colonists in North America sounded pretty much like this. It's been more than 400 years since then and languages change over time, sometimes drastically so.

One way to research accents is by examining language in poems, (if these exist for the time and language), rhymes in particular. Another is by analogy and extrapolation. Writing systems and their development over time can help, too, if there's some sort of phoneme-grapheme mapping in the language at hand.

I disagree. Rigorous code standards are just as necessary on front-end code as back-end. In my experience, no code review, poor design or documentation, and lax standards lead to jittery experiences. For example, people write complex blocking code that causes the page to freeze for moments while that processing is happening. People write event handlers that execute too often and slow user interaction.

Yes, but I also think it's a lot easier to get it wrong in finance without even realizing it than in many other domains. Relatively more difficult to screw up the methodology on MNIST. Many mistakenly assume that the methodology from MNIST transfers directly to finance, which makes the problem worse.

ALl of that means that when talking about applying ML to finance, discussing the methodology in detail is a must. If it is not talked about or only briefly mentioned, from my experience that usually means that the methodology used is rubbish. Whereas you don't need to focus as much on the methodology when talking about MNIST-like problems - one can usually assume a reasonable one is used.

Cruise strikes me as the ideal acquisition, and a formula others should copy. Kyle Vogt and the rest of the Cruise founding team got personal liquidity; a huge influx of capital to continue R&D; access to GM's marketing, manufacturing, and talent infrastructure; but retain general independence in the pursuit of the ultimate mission of self-driving cars.

Pretty impressed with GM for having the insight to understand that arrangement was best and the flexibility to pull it off. And incredibly impressed with what Kyle and his team have achieved post-acquisition. They clearly remain as hungry to make this happen as on day 1.
The same argument still applies.

It is NOT impossible for people to make progress.

It just takes more than a set of half-baked ideas.

The ideas must be fully thought through to their consequences, with second- and third-order consequences, adjusted so that they will actually work with real human nature factored in, tested, adjusted, then rolled out.

In this sense, although I am strongly attracted to Libertarianism and often use it as my default starting point, I recognize that it is like Communism in that it is completely impractical and won't happen in a real world (actually, communism has a better chance with modern tech solcing central planning, blockchain micropayments, smart contracts allocating resources, LOL, bs...).

What I enjoy most about Reddit is the quirky, people just being stupid (in a fun way), jokes and humor around many subreddits and prominent on most that appear on /r/popular.

I don't think people would post as openly if real names were attached. So I really think this fosters/allows for that to happen. It's odd that that was something I loved the most about the early internet too and it seems to be rare now.

From the law:

With such a small budget, it seems like the actual intent may have been to allocate up to $125K to generate advertising about their state.

My point was though, that such issues can be quickly picked up just by using the application, and you can usually elicit the causal factors by prodding at it. Often times such issues in non-UI code can go for years without it being noticed.

But broadly speaking yes I agree, but one or two of my line managers in the past would not.

> WTF do I need an ORM for, if I understand enough to write an SQL command, and use a library for that DB that does parameterized queries?

I am getting into frontend for a hobby project after spending a few years doing ML and applied stats, and I am currently asking myself this question. If your db interaction is simple, a query is almost as easy to write and maintain as an interaction with an ORM, and is significantly more flexible. If it is something more sophisticated, then your ORM quickly becomes more of a hindrance than a help. What am I missing here? Where is the virtue of an ORM beyond not having to use SQL?
It’s not just pro-LGBT; it’s a whole liberal ideology that values people of all kinds, and looks to transform the culture to include all that diversity.

Trump is very much against this ideology... but he’s also reminded the country after 8 years of Obama that the government is not your friend. I think the combination of those two things is what caused the backlash at Google; and you’re right, I don’t think it would have happened under Obama.

It would be helpful for you to explain how life in, say, Sweden is vastly better than life in Georgia. Before you cite poor uneducated Georgian hillbillies, keep in mind that Georgia is home to Georgia Tech, not to mention Atlanta, which was quite prosperous last time I checked. And if you're going to cite Sweden's "free" universities, you might as well go ahead and throw in a side-by-side comparison of Georgian/U.S. Federal and Swedish tax rates as well.

> Add to this that healthy food is often less easily available and more expensive than unhealthy choices.

It's worth pointing out this isn't true everywhere. In America, cheap fast food is generally unhealthy, yes. As an extreme counter example, a bowl of pho in Vietnam is cheap by local wage standards, has very little grease, and can be ready within 2 minutes of you ordering.
As a side effect, perhaps even lower cost of living in metro areas due to people being able to work/live in more rural areas.

I, the author, don't find code samples particularly interesting. When I want to consider a language, I start by asking what the hard problems it solves are. Why would I want to learn this language? What does it give him, what is it better at than the languages I already know. Given that is my bias and I am the author, that is what I wrote about.

I think an important part of that calculus though is that the ethical people on these projects are willing to walk away if their ethical concerns aren't met - which looks to be what happened at AlphaBet.
What? No.

First: Apparently the ss developer(s) decided to finally fix the output in some recent version (it was changed to behave sanely somewhere between iproute2-ss161212 and iproute2-ss180402).

However, if you're stuck with an older version, what I said still stands, and the below applies to those versions:

> It isn't on its own line, it's just wrapped so grep works properly.

While technically correct, that doesn't really matter in any practical sense, because the columns are padded so that the final column containing the program is wrapped onto the next line.

When ss stdout is connected to a pipe it will produce different output: this output is much less wide, so that the program name fits onto the same line as the rest of the columns. But, as said previously, it screws up the alignment of the columns, making it impossible to quickly scan them (using your eyes).

> ss output is column-based so it is useless to bother with tools like cat for parsing.

What? cat doesn't do any parsing. The only reason for using cat there is to connect ss' stdout to a pipe and thus trigger its different output.

> ss -p | less -S is the simplest solution for you

No. '| less -S' gives no improvement over '| cat', since ss output fits onto one line without wrapping as soon as you pipe it through any other program. An actual improvement would be to instead use '| column -t', which would (mostly) fix issues with misaligned columns.

Anyway, if you can, just use a modern enough ss instead (not sure when it was fixed, but iproute2-ss180402 (iproute2 4.16.0) is definitely new enough), which has sane output regardless of whether stdout is connected to a pipe or terminal.
I seriously doubt it.

I do agree with you, it's not a big deal for most devs. The only place I'd worry about it is systems where it might be expected to be in service for many years or intended to be ported frequently. In that case, you never know what sort of crazy architecture you may end up with in the future.

There's always something a bit icky with not sticking to the spec, but in the grand scheme of things relying on two's complement is not a big deal.
Maybe it comes as a surprise, but there are places where if you generate industrial waste (even as a relatively small company) you have to be able to demonstrate that you get rid it in a responsible way. And if somebody complains with a local government that you are dumping waste in a particular way, they will send somebody over to investigate.

Note that the European consumer protection laws already allow consumers to sue in their own country. So if you do business in all EU country, you can be sued in lots of places.

Maybe if you are continuously worried about regulators, then it is better to not start a business. In the real world, regulators are busy enough. Regulators are not going to bother random companies in other countries just for the fun of it.
Europa, Jupiter’s Moon, May Be the Best Candidate to Harbor Alien Life
There was a great article around a year ago about how the Obama White House handled letters to the president. Obama wanted to personally read and respond to about 10 per day (IIRC), but his response was in the form of jotting down thoughts and notes as he read the letter and handing them off to letter writers who knew the president’s speaking and writing styles well enough to write “his” response. I doubt the average CEO has dedicated letter writing staff, but those who are more serious about responding to customers probably have assistants doing something similar.

How much do you think a robotaxi costs to manufacture?

I think it's a lowball estimate, but for argument sake, let's say they're each worth $150k. At that price $2.25 billion will get you 15,000 robotaxis, and that's far from the only expense.

Where does it get squandered? 60% of the federal budget goes to retirement and healthcare. That doesn't account for all of the local budgets which almost exclusively target human welfare projects.

There are only two stereotypical places I can think of it being "squandered". The first is the military which, who knows, could be NPV if you consider what the world could be like without it. Ultimately its unknowable. The second is the money not taxed. Which is a particularly frustrating mindset that I encounter on the internet.

In either case, we're not "squandering" money anywhere. You may disagree with the allocation of some resources but that doesn't mean its been squandered.

Angular 1.x is not listed in https://update.angular.io/.

Additionally, there was no initial update path between Angular 1 and Angular 2 until the community cried foul. It's been a while, but after they finally released an Angular 1 to Angular 2 bridge, I read several tutorials and books that discussed the upgrade path but said to absolutely not use it in production. It would kill the performance of your app. That sort of made the value of an Angular 1 to Angular 2 bridge pretty weak. If one were to migrate to Angular 2, it would seem more time efficient to just to start fresh rather than spend time on a wonky bridge between the two frameworks.
> A revolution in computing is in the offing: one that is centered around users, their data, and their interactions with each other.
