I categorically disagree that the revised email makes the same case. The first sentence that Linus wrote indicates that he finds it questionable, but the revised statement puts words into Linus' mouth: "this looks ok but..."

That's not even the same sentiment. Okay versus Questionable.

From what I have heard about economically depressed areas that may also be because moving in itself is a small luxury. There is a need for a lack of obligations like caring for ailing family and either enough capital for a move which won't cause you to wind up homeless or ability to work a job where local labor is scarce or decommoditized enough to justify covering moving expenses in importing workers and evaluating nonlocal candidates.

This isn't just skill - it also can include things like willingness to work in uprootive work like the military, long haul trucking, or offshore oil rigs.

Given the sheer inefficiency of animal agriculture, this argument doesn't hold up to even passing scrutiny.

For every 100 calories of grain fed to cattle in industrial (meat) factory farms, the result's equivalent to ~30 calories.

Those "inefficient" fields you cite wouldn't need to be cultivated at all if we didn't pour two thirds of the food fields produce into fuelling the livestock industry. Not everywhere outright requires cultivation.

Most of the meat on your plate will come from a factory farm, for the sake of maximising efficiency of food production. The idyllic picture of animals roaming freely across pastures doesn't really map to the reality of modern affordable meat production[1].

As to your point concerning the meadows/monocultures comparison- a global food production system less wasteful than that which exists presently, in which we wouldn't be pouring mountains of perfectly edible food into fuelling meat production, would substantially reduce the area of land required for continual cultivation. Modern diets in the western world area astoundingly inefficient- even reducing the amount of meat consumed would help matters considerably[2].

"The reason you’re procrastinating is simply that you find this task unpleasant to do."

Well... that wasn't very helpful, was it? Isn't this the usual reason that one can easily identify?
You're more or less describing a golf cart.

The reason computer controlled is used is because in order for electric vehicles to be efficient they need a special transmission, nobody has designed a fully mechanical transmission that compares to computer controlled (not least of all because mechanical transmissions are reactive, not proactive, meaning you're always less efficient than you could be, because that very inefficiency is what drives the transmission to shift).

You'd also lose regenerative braking which is a major "win" for electric vehicles.
> But that's not the worst of it. Suppose P2 storage became profitable and started to take business from S3. Amazon's slow AI has an obvious response, it can run P2 peers for itself on the same infrastructure as it runs S3. With its vast economies of scale and extremely low cost of capital, P2-on-S3 would easily capture the bulk of the P2 market. It isn't just that, if successful, the P2 network would become centralized, it is that it would become centralized at Amazon!

That is exactly what I said about a year ago, although I predicted centralization on BackBlaze instead of S3 because they had lower costs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14988800
The Vega cards (56 and 64) were definitely priced competitively as NVidia felt the need to release the 1070 Ti out of nowhere. It sits in a weird price / performance area smack dab between the 1070 and 1080 cards. In addition, the Vega architecture is pretty efficient and your statement about being power hungry and very hot is false.

New imaging technique reveals movement of the brain
Yeah, that's not great, but the commenter in #12 is a senior engineer on devtools, so at least the right person saw it in the end.
Seems like a good idea. Two thoughts. I always dislike conjuctions in these kinds of questions: "Today, I tried working on [X], and got distracted everytime." I worry that if I answer 1 out of 5 that it'll assume that that I didn't get distracted every time while instead I just haven't tried working on [X] today. Even if the website handles this correctly, why not make it two questions with the second only done if the first is a yes?

How well supported are the suggestions of this site? One of the ones I got was to imagine the worst case scenario if you kept procrastinating. But, okay, I imagined the worst case scenario and it meant I just had to wing something on the spot and do a little worse at it. Is that supposed to motivate me to stop procrastinating? Or is it supposed to make me realize that "everything's okay, stop worrying about it and maybe you'll enjoy doing it more"?
>* I guess I didn't realize what sort of exodus occurred when chrome came out.*

It wasn't really a mass exodus, but a gradual wax & wane over time (with more moves FF->C over the long term than C->FF).

In development fields the count is complicated by people who regularly use both, but prefer one.

> I typically have 2-8 tabs open

I tend to have many open[1], over several windows on different desktops. I use open tabs more than I use bookmarks! Every once in a while I go through the open tabs and close those I've not touched in a while that I don;t expect to touch any time soon (obviously the need to have it open has passed). I currently use Chrome more then FF, and here The Great Suspender[1] is a godsend for saving RAM (and to a lesser extent CPU time) Chrome would otherwise consume.

[1] TGS lists my current use on this machine as "22 windows, 148 tabs"
Quoting the article: “An ongoing investigation by internal and external counsel has confirmed a violation of Intel’s non-fraternization policy, which applies to all managers.”

It's not just the specific act(s) but the fact that he knowingly broke policy, which raises the question of whether he decided other policies also didn't apply to him. CEOs have a lot of power and enormous compensation and, at least in theory, that's founded on their judgement.
Yes, the truth can be somewhere else entirely. And it doesn't have to fall along some neat axis made up by humans.

How to set up a full-stack .NET web development environment on Mac OS
Long-time Mac user and as a result long-time Mac keyboard user. Loved the low-profile desktop and laptop keyboards.

Didn't realize until I gave a mechanical board a chance (felt super weird hitting full-height keys!) but I was making a ton of typos and going slower on the Mac boards.

Now that I've gotten used to my mechanical keyboard I feel more confident in my touch typing and my speed has gone up considerably.

I did install dampener rings, though, because I didn't like how loud things were and how the keys felt.
basic communication is not language. The jury is not out, I'm not going to repeat the facts but it is pretty clear to ANY linguist that Koko and all of the animal kingdom do not have language.

CHOMSKY: That’s about like saying that Olympic high jumpers fly better than young birds who’ve just come out of the egg — or than most chickens. These are not serious comparisons. For whatever reason, the study of human higher mental faculties is pervaded by a curious form of irrationality, foreign to the sciences.
So a spreadsheet running in the client with javascript or WASM would be an application, but a spreadsheet running on the backend wouldn't?

I'm not trying to be overly pedantic or combative here but making a distinction between client-side and server-side code seems arbitrary. I understand it in terms of managing privilege - you can't control what someone does on a remote server, and that code isn't running on your machine, but it seems like the meaningful distinction here isn't between documents and applications but between local and remote applications.
I find it hard to argue with from a fairness perspective. Clearly, retail is in a much different place from when Quill was decided. My concern is more in how a mom & pop online shop operating independently complies as a practical matter, which means not only collecting the right amount for different types of items but presumably remitting and filing with a huge number of different tax jurisdictions.
Well, he could just use it himself, e.g. if he at least wants to keep a rather clean image on paper, and maybe the biggest trouble isn't even public knowledge yet.

It's a problem for the company even without misconduct. If a coworker claims a promotion went to a romantic partner instead of them because of romance, the company has to spend a bunch of time looking into that, even if there was no misconduct.

It's the same thing with conflicts of interest. The clear possibility for misconduct is a problem that at least must be declared, and at best is avoided.

> it all can't be deep learning unfortunately, because that's not how we learn

If you could humor me, why can't it all be deep learning? It seems like a robust model for how we learn: we start with some priors (random weights), experience something that either confirms or negates those priors (sampling), and then adjust our priors based on that experience.

Of course there are a wide variety of architectures and the human brain is more sophisticated than one conv net. Our brains have on the order of 100 billion neurons and I believe the largest neural networks are on the order of 10's of millions. I would argue that a combination of better architectures and scale could simulate human intelligence.

One does not end up in prison from a lawsuit. Tesla cited the criminal codes in question to try to make that happen, but only the government can bring criminal cases, and criminal cases aren’t brought on unproven allegations in a civil lawsuit. If they were serious about putting him in prison, Tesla would have discussed referrals to law enforcement in their communications and we’d likely be hearing from district attorneys by now, given the attention on the case.

Martin Tripp ending up in prison is extraordinarily unlikely, even if Tesla is 100% correct. That you even considered the possibility means that Tesla’s strategy of sprinkling the word “illegal” throughout the complaint to paint a criminal picture worked.
A Slack Community for Developers to Discuss Web Scraping
Yes, but they're unelected, so they have no moral right to govern. Your principles may differ from mine.
Paragraph 238 StGB absolutely does not hold here (I know from first hand). Also semantically you formed your phrase in such a way as though Europe as a whole had common legislation which is not the brightest thing to say.

But what do I expect from a community where there’s at least one thread daily speaking favourably of breitbart.com?
Lastly, ICE employees should think hard about the direction their upper ranks are going. They absolutely have a choice to not become 21st century Gestapo. It’s not too late.
Just in case non-European people wonder, here's what we get presented with instead of the article:

I suppose if the universe is in fact a hologram as some scientists have hypothesized, and we’re just living in a 3d projection then we could say reality is faking it :-)

But the current gen video hacks and future raytracing are pretty hard to compare. Raytracing can be an accurate simulation of the physics properties of light. I suppose the biggest caveat is whether you’re doing forward or backward raytracing. Backward raytracing simulates only the photons relevant to the observer. Forward raytracing simulates photons from various light sources, a small fraction of which are observed by the camera.

Both are still based on the physical path of virtual photons, which as far as models go, is a pretty solid illusion!
I think we are largely in agreement.

I believe these techniques will have a huge impact on how we do pathology as well as things like screening radiology, and that part of that will be by breaking down the silos such specialties work in, at least to a agree. I also think we have quite a way to go on the technical side but it is achievable (not to do everything people dream of, but to make significant improvements).

I also think it will take much, much longer than most people on the research side believe (hope?) to even approach standard of care. These systems are not built to move fast.

I'm glad to hear you are getting good/interesting results, and hope you are focusing more on validation and breadth of data acquisition than a lot of groups do :)

I think its rather binary. Koko could either form complex thoughts into rudimentary sign language or she could not and was simply mimicking what her trainers expected of her in a Pavlovian way.

You and I may have different opinions of Koko based on our differing experiences and it is right and fair that we hold those opinions, and we may always be faced with this uncertainty, but the "truth" whatever it may be, is probably not somewhere in the middle. :-)
Really Amazon already collected sales taxes but now it extends to Amazon marketplace sellers.
Because they are paying a lot of tax in real terms, also remember there is a lot more to tax than just income or corporation taxes. The 'not paying any tax' meme is grossly oversimplified and misleading IMHO.

For example if they buy a £5,000 jacket in the UK then £1,000 of that is collected as VAT. If they live & shop elsewhere we don't get that revenue in the shops nor do we collect that VAT.

As a percentage they generally find ways of paying less but it will still be a substantial tax revenue.
I typically have 25-250 tabs open at a time, and also never left Firefox. Though maybe this is the other end of the spectrum because managing this number of tabs in Chrome is impossible.

The easier way for Krzanich was to let him resign because "he wanted to spend more time with his family".
The situation for retailers shipping to states where they have no physical presence reminds me of the situation of foreign retailers with significant online sales to customers in the EU.

In each case, the seller (who has no physical or other presence in X) is required to collect tax from the buyer (a resident of X) and remit it to the tax authorities in X.

The tax is owed by a resident of X, to the tax authorities in X. But the tax authorities in X want someone outside X to collect it on their behalf.

EDIT: According to Wikipedia, some states charge sellers sales tax, and others do it the way I assumed (tax is charged to buyers, but collected by sellers).
As soon as "experiment" stops meaning "soft launch" we can stop counting them.
I know the implication here is clear and wanton breach of ethics.

But I think greasing the wheels is a surprisingly useful and underutilized tactic.

While many people "get it" when bargaining at the flea market or for some craigslist item, those same people bawk at the idea of paying more than the listed price for something they want.

Example:
A month back I went to a nice and popular restaurant at prime time without a reservation.

As I'm slowly getting closer to the host, I see no less than 3 parties all turned away by the host's matter of fact "No tables available tonight".

I request the same table as others before me and am greeted by the same cold response.

But, I respond: "Fifty bucks?"

Host: "SIR! Please! No need for such things! Please wait right here and we'll find you a table right away!"
history time for ppl who think this is rare:

VW plant, making their top of the line model. solder arm robots have two air input hoses. one wide, high pressure and slow response that is the "power". another nibler but fast response that is the actuator and only moves a small part that open/close the power valve.

the hoses were switched in one chassis line robot. causing the strong power line to simply hold the actuator always open. the small line was going to the " power" input, effectively controlling the soldering arm movement with the low power normally used only for the control valve.

it did solder the chassis. was it up to spec? hardly. did all the chasis went down the line without more than a visual inspection? yep.
Yes. But it is too late. AMZN has already wiped out all local retail. AMZN not enforcing local taxes was a huge win - in the early days.

>> For most MtG players, the game rules are the sum of the game rules and the set of cards which are legal to play. Including other potential card text is not relevant, or at least at that point you are playing an unofficial variant of the game.

I dont' think there is any other language for which we assume that the only strings that belong to it are the sum of its printed texts (which in the case of M:tG ability text are printed cards). I don't see why we should make this assumption for ability text. That's not how languages work, in general.

Note that all this has nothing to do with "official" status, or the acceptance of specific strings by players of the game, or anyone. Either ability text is some unique construct, the likes of which has never been seen before, or it's a language like any other and it can be analysed in the same way as any other language.
I see what you mean but that is a great corruption of the word.
It is possible that a ban on boss-employee relationships reduces the average utility of employees (excluding the utility of bosses), if the happiness of employees from good relationships outweighs the unhappiness from bad ones. Maybe one could do a survey of whether employees in companies with non-fraternization policies are happier than those without such policies.
That’s different: you can’t say that a particular person was misclassified, you are making a statement about the calibration of the algorithm. And I can agree with that, but the argument in the article is not about miscalibration.
CommonSense and Exotec
In Colorado you're already asked when filing state taxes what the value of the goods you bought online that haven't been taxed yet, so the onus is on the filer to look up receipts from the year for tax purposes.

Amazon already collects tax in Colorado, but a few smaller retailers will send you a letter at the end of the year totaling up your untaxed purchases. Since different counties and localities collect different rates, it's hard to get the total tax right at the time of sale.
It's not a tumah! It's not!

>One of the things functional societies do is to limit the amount that certain people can make themselves happy as a mechanism of limiting the amount to which other people get hurt. Banning workplace relationships because of their serious potential for hurt seems like a straightforward case of this.

Nobody the debate is not between "some restrictions" and "no restriction", the latter is very much a straw man. We are debating where in particular the line should be drawn. For any given behavior X there are trade offs across the entire spectrum from full restriction of X to no restriction of X and the latter extreme is almost always far from ideal but much better than the former extreme.
