In theory one should not need to defensively patent anything that is published openly since the patent office should not grant any patents for ideas which has already been published. It is only if we accept that the patent office is utterly broken and do not check for prior art that defensively patent every conceivable application of public released work is a good idea.
I was just noting what I felt was an important detail that the framing was glossing over. I think to some extent you are reading in things I did not intend.

This will vary some depending on the child and the circumstances, but children tend to be interested in what other people are doing. I wouldn't characterize it as trying to be helpful per se. I would characterize it as trying to engage with others in some way and trying to understand the world.

If you have only one child, then the parents are the people that child is going to tend to want to engage. If you have more than one child, they may take more interest in their older siblings, who are more developmentally accessible. They are closer in size and ability, thus easier to mimic.

My oldest was always wherever I was and he wanted to engage with the objects I engaged with, such as pots and pans or my books. He wasn't terribly interested in his toys. My second child both liked toys more and also had an older brother to follow around. He wasn't constantly underfoot.

But I'm glad the article was good food for thought for you. Happy parenting.
> Would it be possible for OSM to provide these services at cost to fund their operations?

"Real time data" means things like "current traffic data", right? That takes a lot of data collectors, and the data gets stale quickly. This sort of thing isn't on the radar for lots in the OSM community, I don't even know how OSM'd start trying to provide that...

Not so sure about that. I'm using a heuristic method. Since I'm not a statistics expert and sometimes can't properly assess Talebs statements, I ask myself: "Can I trust the judgement of this person?". Looking at the way he feuds with others (feuds between intellectuals don't all include crude insults), I feel that a person with proper judgement wouldn't behave that way. The same goes for his academic standing, which seems to be poor. These are two red flags.

This said, that doesn't mean he won't offer insight. It just that since I don't have time to read everything, I'll use my heuristic method to look for potential places for insight. In this case it would rather lead me to Pinker et al.
Solutions to Reverse Global Warming
1. Please ask BEFORE you collect.

2. You can't expect every user to know they are logged, or how it's affecting the user, or know how to disable/delete it, can you?

3. How can I verify that you did delete the data about me instead of just hiding from me for viewing it? Alphabet is not belong to public sector. So the simple answer is I can't. If you want me to trust you, don't use opt-out as default.

4. I'm sure you can tell the differences between those alternatives and Google products.

5. It's not that hard to respect some one's data. First, do not collect it! Second, if you have to collect it, tell the owner why! Third, delete it completely while requested.

6. Aggregated data collection and use without permissions adds potential risks to the society. (Cambridge Analytica)

Edit: And you guys are doing deep learning, that's gonna consume lot's of data. Duplex for example, you use anonymous phone call data to train it. The question is, where does that data even come from? I'd blacklist whoever collected the data, even it's collected anonymously.
You’re right. I’ve worked in the frontend space for a long time, which lends itself nicely to the GitHub model.

I don’t see why you’d bother trying to force your work into that model. If it’s not common in your industry then there is no one to compete against in GitHub stakes. Sounds like publishing a paper or being awarded a patent would have the same

I can think of a few possible problems with IEEE754-across-the-wire, such as:

- not all hardware supports them

- subnormal numbers are annoying

- NaNs can be tricky to handle, such as signalling and (if payloads are used) security risks through NaN payloads.

Which are you thinking of? Or something else?
I don't work at Google, I live in Europe and I agree with you. So far, we didn't heard of any breach in any Google product, and the history of the different products can effectively be turned off. I remember years ago, when I started to care about data collected about me, Google was one of the first company allowing you to download a part of your data. We can see the emphasize about security on the evolution of Android APIs too (encrypted enclaves, key storages, for example). Google also contributes to open AI and ML researches. My only consumer concern is about monopoly, not about data collected on me.

The USS Pueblo Today
The main fallacy like you see in this thread is that it everyone thinks it needs to seem unintentional, so that you're not "needy".

This is a big fallacy.

Don't try to make it seem coincidental, instead make a real effort. Here 3 steps on how it works

1. Go to meetups, try out lots of new hobbies, connect with everyone on facebook immediately if you click. Do it with guys and girls. Some will be awkward, but most don't care and just say sure and connect.

2. Then keep the conversation alive a bit and meet up with them around the activity or meet up you met, ask who is going to the next meet up, be it hiking, exchanging info about cryptocurrencies, ruby on rails or whatever. You can also make chat groups on messenger with 10 people or so

3. Be a value giver, be an organizer, be the one who knows what's going on, people gravitate to people like that.

4. Doing this is not needy as long as you are a value giver. However, don't ask people all them time for value, don't be a value drawer too often.

5. Keep it lighthearted, don't become pissed if people don't join your meet up or son't reply. This is needy behaviour. After a few months, you should have 100 people in your new social circle, so what do you care if one doesn't come

As you can see this takes effort, but this is a recipe of how you can build a vibrant social circle for you within a few months time every time you come to a new city.

Most people don't do that, because they are so scared of rejection. But what do you care if 20 people don't want to connect with you when a 100 do. There are always people who want to stay for themselves, are weird or asocial.

The Victorians thought they were too. If it wasn't on facebook, I mean if you didn't get a summit barometer reading the ascent might as well not have happened ;) In all seriousness the wave of alpine exploration from the 1800s on was responsible for dispelling myths such as dragons living in the mountains. It was very much linked to a scientific worldview.

My generalization is broad as I typed it on a mobile. There is a lot more subtlety to all of this for sure. I guess I meant in my experience of caving the emphasis is on getting there and back alive without damaging any pretty bits. Contrast rock climbing where people take significant risks in order to avoid "cheating". To some extent the latter ethic has transferred into modern Alpinism also which is why I referred to historic ethics. Cavers won't take quite the same support team of servants to get somewhere, though cave divers often rope a buddy or two into carrying their gear.

This won't work, because those employees don't actually register as toxic for the company - au contraire: They have reached - and quite possibly exceeded - their predefined performance targets! They have done exactly what they were hired for.
You have to realize that things like long-term quality, or even reducing total costs for the company (only the silo is important!) is not a performance target in this scenario, and that's the root of the problem.

It's a systemic problem, a problem of corporate structure and incentives, and exactly the ecosystem where these kinds of contractors thrive.

The naming of the license as ‘TV license’ is extremely, deliberately and specifically misleading.

As someone who also owns such vacant properties, loses can't continue indenfinately i believe.

I sold my company (had a legal battle with my partners which destroyed me emotionally and now I find it hard to trust others, naturally i am risk reverse now), and deployed excess capital in these vacant kept properties. I simply have no desire to earn extra income on them. I hope I'll make some amount on appraisal.

Secondly, not everyone is in the market for maximizing their gains. It would cost more of my time if I ran into a bad tenant who sued me (if partners i known for years couldn't resist, what makes a random one any different? No amount of rational explanation is going to change my belief. Once you are burned, you even start hating candles). I optimize for less risk and if it comes at zero return or slight loss, all good.

I think there's an inflection point somewhere between painting or wallpapering, and then doing floors and replacing the kitchen. The former can be done on your own in a weekend with help from friends and family, or relatively cheap, certainly fixed price, by professionals. For the latter, you need people with a certain level of expertise (who may or may not be friends and family), you need to navigate suppliers, a staggering range of materials and for the kitchen, possibly a designer (or design it yourself, also not necessarily a simple task). And then there's finance: what can you afford, and how do you deal with cost overruns? The planning phase alone could easily take longer than completing the paint job of the entire place - and that's on top of actually moving, never mind having to live in the mess from building for weeks, best case (it's not exactly rare for people not to be able to afford having two homes, especially in a buying/mortgage situation - bridge loans can be pretty dear).

I feel weird about this post. It feels like it's posted by people wanting to somehow give evidence or support to the idea that sleep is good and necessary. I feel weird about the fact that that is something that needs to be proved. Don't you trust in the signals your body is sending you? Do you really trust a model of average human behaviour more than your body; which is perfectly conditioned your precise enviourment and history?

There's also depreciation. Most assets tend to decline in real value while simultaneously inflating. Companies may have a period over which the value appreciates, but the evidence points to eventual obsolescence. They'll probably liquidate their assets and give one final dividend at that time.
The “Go is successful because of Google” is really wearing thin. For this to have any credibility we would have had to see the same effect on any of Angular, Polymer, Dart, Flutter, GWT and whatever else Google put their weight behind that we’ve already forgotten.
I think this thread has no shortage of criticisms, but too many are uninformed. The blog post doesn't mention these important things:

Package management (from [0]): "Crystal libraries are packed as Shards, and distributed via Git without needing a centralised repository. Built in commands allow dependencies to be easily specified through a YAML file and fetched from their respective repositories."

Concurrency (from [0]): "Crystal uses green threads, called fibers, to achieve concurrency. Fibers communicate with each other using channels, as in Go or Clojure, without having to turn to shared memory or locks."

> The p-zombie thought experiment entails the p-zombie world thought experiment, where a universe evolved with nothing but p-zombies, and this world is identical to our own.

No? I don't see I need to imagine a parallel universe. I can just imagine a p-zombie existing in our own world.

>I certainly can't without allowing what seems to be absurdity or inconsistency. I'm not sure how you manage to do it.

"absurdity or inconsistency" do not limit my imagination. I do not think such things are realistic, but that doesn't mean I can't imagine them. For a similar example, most ideas of time travel end up inconsistent if you inspect them closely, and yet nonetheless I can imagine them.
There are not any, since there are no public stock market models worth copying, and no stock market model takes external input. But if they did (you could give a time-series to a model in the cloud, and it would give you predictions) then it would be possible.

Copying models is a problem for cloud-hosted pay-per-prediction image classification, not for constantly retrained stock market models that don't take external input.

Authoritarian has nothing to do with the right. Socialism is all about social engineering of the population, which way is being engineered is the flavour of socialism - national socialism makes it in the favour of the people with right blood, social democracy makes it in the favour of the rich (but make it look as favouring the under privileged) and so on.
The right are libertarians, which means people are equal subjects of the law, are free to do anything the like as long they don't hurt the others and so on.
The left is trying to paint darker shades of socialism as the right, to steer people away from seeking the freedom.

This isn't safe in all areas. Besides, if an area has a bike path and the scooter is travelling slowly enough (or if it is really an e-bike), this is probably the best option. If you are going vehicle speeds, the road should be fine.

However, this does not solve the problem of parking. It would seem prudent to make sure there is clearly marked parking for the scooters, with fines or whatnot when folks don't follow it. This would be made a great deal easier if scooters have to be registered with plates, and more work without it - especially if you want to confiscate the bike.

You don't need to speak good English to convince people on this forum, but you do need to be able to back up your ideas with evidence. I do have sympathy with arguments against the BBC license fee and subscription models, but the fact that you pull exaggerated figures from the top of your head to support your arguments does very little for you.
Companies should invest in the open source they depend on, otherwise they will need to re-implement it from scratch or maintain an in-house fork with higher costs. You may be spending those sprints implementing a workaround that you will then have to touch again when the problem is eventually fixed upstream, or you will run a private fork that you're stuck with forever and will have a hard time maintaining.

As for the complexity, from my experience it's a mix. There are indeed many complex issues, but often times the fixes are relatively easy and take little time to fix.

For the hard ones it's often enough if you can contribute to the conversation to better understand the problem, providing valuable information on how to reproduce, so that someone familiar with the code base can solve it easier.
OK, newline is not equivalent to semicolon but I could be forgiven for inferring that from the documentation.

Anyway, the parens things bothers me the most. In most (all?) other languages, putting parens around a multiline expression would make it one atomic expression.

To be fair, there were quite a few voices against it, but they were mostly ignore if not belittled by telling them to write a paper or be quiet. [1]

If you only take people's opinion serious when they operate in a committee manner, then you shouldn't be surprised that despite your invested time, people eventually will rise up and stop the work.

Also just because some people invested a lot of hours doesn't simply satisfy the condition to force something in the standard that is still far away from finished. Sunk cost fallacy anyone?

Everything adds "potential risks". When you talk about risk, you have to give estimates of both the frequency and the criticity, and then compare to the potential benefits. Only then you have all the pieces to take an informed decision, according to your preferences.
