That the worst point about this kind of security checks: it's an annoyance for everybody but don't stop the bad guys.

When I came back in France during Christmas, the whole downtown access to a city was restricted, with checkpoints at every bridges. It slowed normal people for control multiple times a day. But because this "security" wasn't present 24/7 any islamist could import weapons at night and make a carnage during the day, with the additional effect of the checkpoint slowing people from escaping the area under attack. Hopefully, there wasn't the budget to employ national police for all the checkpoints, so technically you could cross them without any security people having the right to stop you, which I did one time.
Chris Lattner as the primary builder of LLVM deserves enormous credit for that work. Did he really write the entire C++ compiler himself?

I haven't been able to find much on Tom Pennello besides some parsing papers from the 70s... I'm interested, but don't know how to find more about his work.
"Is that particularly helpful here in this discussion?"

It's as helpful as you saying that you've lived in worse conditions in the past.
Did you read the response of Amazon and other companies? It was less "we want higher profits" and "you have enough money, you're just spending it in the wrong places".
A very narrow, specific kind of critical thinking comes from problem solving. Reading critically is a thing, and certainly part of being a well-rounded critical thinker.
It works very nicely for predicting what movie you'd like to watch, so it could potentially work with jobs, too. Collecting enough data could be challenging, though
A building that would otherwise be subject to rent control or other tenant protections is worth less than the same building that is empty of tenants. By leaping after 80K/year you can massively decrease the value of an empty building, or a building that is likely to soon empty, or a building that can be condo converted without Ellis acting anyone.

This might be a better conversation for IRC (you can find me on Freenode in #ponylang as SeanTAllen) as we are replying to each other fast enough to trigger the flamewar detector. Now that it is letting me reply...

You should use a union type for that situation. Note, the current File API in the Pony standard library doesn't do that and it's something that we intend to fix before version 1.0. At this point, now one has gotten frustrated enough with it to open an RFC to propose an updated API. Someone will at some point though. But... volunteer project, limited time, itch to scratch etc.
I would agree, if those were the things that were dividing the average voter. However, having two daughters, friends who are LGBT, and being a man with more melanin in my skin than the average European, I find contemporary 'Social Conservatism' to be completely unacceptable. It doesn't help that social issues, along with the fact that studies are regularly finding that racial resentment and sexism, are very strong predictors for conservative voters.

I wish it was Universal Healthcare vs. Free Market, that way we could have rational discussions on most issues.
what does independent mean, tho? If you consider the human just a tool, then the dog is solving it independently.
Hey, I am in exactly same shoes. I am also in early phase of development of a search engine with only free, non-auth walled content, apart from blocking ad serving platforms. I would like to discuss and see if we can work together. Care to talk? Email in profile.
Agreed, this approach is idiotic. I would avoid even applying for a company that took this approach.

> legally, the lack of commercialization of infringing work doesn't mean much.

That's not correct — according to the Copyright Act's fair-use provision, the purpose of an infringing use, including whether it's commercial or for nonprofit- or educational purposes, is the first-listed of four factors to consider in determining whether the infringing use is "fair."

The Supreme Court discussed this in the Campbell v. Acuff-Rose case. In that case, the owner of the copyright in the Roy Orbison classic Oh, Pretty Woman had sued 2 Live Crew for their down-and-dirty parody of the song. The Court held that the parody was fair use, even though it was commercial, largely because the parody was "transformative." [0]

Sure.

But you can apply the same logic to Windows (desktop + server) + office. Eg, Chinese government can decide tomorrow that they mandate all government PCs run Linux. And that wont distinguish between Office or OS.

As I already suggested, I am not disputing Google's reliance on Ads, but the pie chart is not convincing because of far more reasons than Ads.

I'm working for a startup that has had to pivot to web-only applications specifically because of Apple and their frustrating nervousness around anything involving applied blockchains.
On one hand the comparison is absurd.

But we can use it as inspiration to think: How many have died at the U.S. - Mexican border? How many have been killed by border agents? How many died in the desert or due to other causes - of omission or commission by the government, and of first order, second order or further consequences of those (in)actions?

That's an incredibe over-simplification of the utility and usage of embedding. For an embedding to work there must be some legitimate (as opposed to arbitrary or even non-existent) relationship to be teased out.
Ok that’s easy, but not what I get. E.g. Roman numeral conversion and recursive combinations, etc. all doable in solitude of course.
This is why it's important to have a reliable return process for online shops. Unfortunately, no online store that I know of has one, least of all Amazon, so I find myself buying more and more in regular stores and generally buying less and less often simply to reduce the risk of getting stuck with a bad purchase. It's ironic that the online shopping experience now has been topped by the brick and mortar store experience without brick and mortar doing anything significant to alter their experience in decades. Online stores are simply untrustworthy and I don't see this changing soon. From Amazon actively closing accounts they don't like to them and others failing to ship products repeatedly, the experience is now worse in every single way. And I'm not a big fan of driving to stores at all.
Are you missing part of your quote?
> As I read the article I keep asking myself what motivates these people to do such research --- they're basically contributing to the erosion of personal freedom and privacy. It's scary.

I think it's better that it's public research rather than some private R&D. Public knowledge never hurts in my opinion.
I'm not going to expand on the huge issues there are with state and local funding in Texas, but the perennial underfunding of state and local government services in Texas (a hugely powerful state economically) is another clear example of exactly what this article is talking about.

This isn't a discussion about whether the Texas state government should fund basic public services in colonias (or any poor localities that can't pay for them with property taxes), it's about whether there are people living in third world conditions in the United States. Well, there are half a million people living in colonias in Texas (and some, like you it seems, are fine with that)...

Also, as an illustrative anecdote, I grew up in one of the wealthiest suburbs of Austin and in the state. Our neighbors also had to dig a well and put in a septic tank because they couldn't get city water or sewer (they're less than 15 minutes from downtown Austin and the state capital). That's the state of local government in Texas.
... and people wonder why web apps are conquering the world.

This is how painful it is to ship software for major platforms. Windows is by far the worst. Apple and Android are a bit better but not really great.
The issue of the word "tool" having been used in reference to you in particular not withstanding, it's pretty well understood that collaboration is not tool-using.

Your answer doesn't make sense. A US citizen does not get GDPR rights from a US company even if they use a EU VPN by your two rules, so I'm not sure why your conclusion is "yes"?

Side note: GDPR applies to all EU citizens no matter where they are currently located, so no need (for EU citizen) to use VPN when abroad for that reason.
GP suggested organizations were using Google tech to do so, that's the part I find rather hard to believe.

Either that or by "same technology" they actually meant "different, but same kind of technology" in which case their point makes no sense. Making chemicals to sell to hospitals vs making chemicals to sell to terrorists are things that have different moral weight, even if the underlying thing being created is basically the same.

> Our infatuation with the creation of implied heritage really deserves greater attention than these two paragraphs allow. The new culture of small shoppe business and personal attention are fiercely fighting the truly established bluebloods for the same share of consumer attention. Heritage that's only inches deep is winning through smart design, even when the identity reads ESTB 2018.

I find this really interesting. Although it might just be a design fad in some cases, it does make me smile a bit to see an "Est. 20xx", because it reads as a desire that the brand (often a physical store) intends to stick around long enough for that declaration to mean something.

“virtue signaling”

Ew please refrain from echoing alt-right invented language here.
Here's something that has been making me scratch my head lately.

San Francisco has had a Democratic mayor from 1964-now. It's widely regarded as the farthest left city in the country besides maybe Berkeley across the bay. Most Democrats/leftists want to reduce wealth inequality and are proponents of more taxation, welfare, etc.

Yet, San Francisco is one of the most economically unequal cities in this country [0]. So what's up? Why have the city's Democrats been so unable to help the poor if that's really something they believe in?

Democrats always say that if you elect the Republicans then the city will belong to the rich and powerful. But that's what we have now...

Note: I am a Democrat, I already voted for SF mayor this cycle and I voted for a Democratic candidate.

"Helping it along by offering the target CEO a good job at the combined company after he’d already been fired is much weirder, though. It’s more or less okay for a CEO to try to preserve his job in a merger; it’s awkward for him to try to rescue his job that way."
Having an android phone in a group text is very much a real issue for young people. I have a very active group text and the iMessage features are used constantly in that chat. The nailed it with features like posting instagrams (and having them be inline, and videos playing) to being able for us to all double tap someones joke and hearting it. We do know a guy who has a droid and we do jab at him about his samsung and how his chats gotta sucks. I don't think you can name a group chat if there is a droid user present either. Right or wrong, people will be left out of experiences for green chat the same way you will miss things if you aren't using the same social media app as your peers.

At work I use Google Hangouts to converse with a few friends, and it blows my mind that when I post a URL, it doesn't inline it. It does now with youtube links, but they wont play inline. Think of it as Slack vs old 90's IRC. I dont know how droid chat shows up these days as I have long left the android camp with no plans of returning, but iMessage is a killer feature for Apple.
We use this and have python, js, java and C++ modules talking to each other with it. Doco and examples are so-so but the code is readable and, well, there were implementations for all the languages we needed.

It's weird that an RPC involves http->web socket->wamp plus a bunch of pickling etc but hey, it works and saved us a ton of time.
Housing supply is in part a collective action problem. Lots of people will benefit from development somewhere else, but lose out from the local effect of development down the block. If the net effects of a development are positive, but the negative effects are concentrated whether local power can block the development, less development will happen and people are worse off overall.
I did find four! Yes, I've picked one at random. None of them was in my path, even after running vcvars*bat. Given Conway's law, I suspect signtool has a different project manager than the VS team.
To be a true scientist, you shouldn't necessarily do what seems obvious. For all I know, maybe whiteboarding is a better indicator of performance than 1 hour of coding on a laptop. How well does it compare? I bet that's a closely guarded secret.

>have too many shareholders to let them pivot

Token purchasers in ICOs aren't shareholders.

>100s of retail shareholders demanding progress on the idea they originally backed.

They have no guarantee or protections when buying into an ICO. They may try to pivot and get some disgruntled worthless-token-holders as a result, but if crypto has shown anything it's that even outright scams will maintain an unfortunately strong community of supporters.

The comments that I saw you responding to did not seem to be very directly about race. You want us to exclude someone from here because of their statements elsewhere. We don't agree; feel free to leave in righteous indignation if you so choose.

When I see a comment advocating for actual white supremacy, I will flag it, downvote it, and do my best to rebut it. If you see that as "welcoming", so be it.
The surface line is the first time I looked at a PC and went: "OK, that's a cohesive computing unit". Like, overall I've always been a Windows/Linux/FreeBSD guy, and despite hardware being very power, there's never really been slick, cohesive option excepting the occasional HP Envy, Thinkpad X1 Carbon, Dell XPS 15, etc.

The entire Surface line (hardware wise, RT was a software fluke) has been slick though, IMO.
> No, it's not about living as a monk, it's about not compromising when things really matter.

If you cut back on living expenses, you could give thousands every year to hungry kids or the environment or [insert good cause here]. Those are all things that really matter. Especially over the course of many years, you could make a real difference. You don't get to handwave away this point just because it's inconvenient to your argument.

You're trying to find a loophole in your own logic to excuse your own behavior that violates your self-proclaimed values. I get that nobody likes cognitive dissonance, but it's quite obvious you're not being internally consistent here.

Would you mind elaborating on why you voted Democrat this time, after having just pointed out that for the last ~60 years a democratic mayor failed to live up to the virtues they espouse?

Not trying to be sarcastic. Generally curious if you considered republican but decided against it for some reason... Or if you just hardline vote one way?
Sure, but Nikon and Leica still sell 35mm film cameras.

I think that because they were the dominant brands in 35mm in the film era, they still have fans today among people who still like to shoot film.
And yet they also whine for a head-tax because they apparently don’t have enough money. That’s why I oppose head-taxes because they don’t even spend the money they have responsibly; I certainly don’t want them to have more. It’s like feeding an addict.
Cosmic space
Its a good idea, but I wonder how accurate your results will be. HCG tests (done via blood samples) are notoriously bad as a predictor for how many eggs are actually in the ovaries. Its a very broad indicator yes, but nothing more than that.

This is really quite different from say testing a mens sperm where you can accurately count the exact number to the nearest million.

Have you compared your accuracy with an HCG test? What is the delta between your home test results and an HCG test?
Apple often cites entire paragraphs from their TOS as reason for app rejection without giving specific reasons.
Almost no matter the size or nature of the company, sales is treated as this mysterious black box.

If your top salesperson commits improprieties, well then.. you still have to keep him. Clients! Contacts! Secret Sauce!

If your CEO is AWFUL, then the board can tell him he's fired. But if he's in process to sell the company? Well... sales is tough, might as well let him stay to finish it out.

One success can also change everything for a salesperson. John Thain received a ton of criticism... but he was able to sell Merrill Lynch for $50bn during the crisis.

A Busy Month in the Facebook Photo Tagging Biometric Privacy Dispute
What kicked off this whole chain was a discussion on whether a particular individual's decision was moral or not.

"This ideology is impractical/contradictory but still effective in a group" is a potential valid point to make in another context, but irrelevant to what we were specifically discussing here.
I saw that the whole thing was made up and that the game of success was just that, a game. I realized I could invent another game. I settled on a game called I am a contribution. Unlike success and failure, contribution has no other side... "How will I be a contribution today?" ...
Just look carefully at the cover of the box, and if the rules do not light up your life, put it away, take out another one you like better, and play the game wholeheartedly. Remember, it's all invented. - Ben Zander, The Art of Possibility

If you're willing to fail interestingly, you usually succeed interestingly. - Edward Albee

While one person hesitates because he feels inferior, the other is busy making mistakes and becoming superior. - Henry C. Link

Most people die of a kind of creeping common sense. They discover too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes. - Oscar Wilde

Our business in this world is not to succeed, but to continue to fail, in good spirits. - R. L. Stevenson

We do not know to-day whether we are busy or idle. In times when we thought ourselves indolent, we have afterwards discovered, that much was accomplished, and much was begun in us. - Emerson

Hard Times. In this contradictory world of Truth the hard times come when the good times are in the world of commerce; namely, sleep, fulleating, plenty of money, care of it, and leisure; these are the hard times. Nothing is doing and we lose every day. - Emerson, journal
The "alt-right" absolutely did not invent the phrase 'virtue signaling', though one could probably make a (shaky) argument that they're guilty of deploying it most uncharitably.

I don't think this is the place for that discussion though.

No, it's contingent on what exactly the classifier does and how independent of third party clinical judgement it is. The more hands off the clinician is, the more dangerous a false negative is, and the more time sensitive the result is, the more likely your diagnostic is going to be class 3.

The GDPR’s Effects in China
I’ve always thought it was odd that we pay $20 for something you can buy direct from China for $3. I mean I understand we’re paying for the convenience of getting the thing now, but it seems we spend a huge percentage of our income on convenience. If we could eliminate that, we’d free up a lot of cash.
Valid question.

I think the point was that habosa isn't some Republican demagogue trying to score points on the Democrats. That is, habosa is saying, "Don't dismiss my point as just a political harangue. I'm dis-satisfied with my own side here. Why are we doing this?"

I would guess that the answer to your question is that someone can see a lot of problems with their own side, and still think that their side is better overall than the other side. Just a guess, though; I don't speak for habosa.
