So just to clarify, we're changing the product to make it possible to upload stuff without permission, but we're not trying to induce bad behavior.

E.g. Gmail has a reply all button and a forward button, but they don't encourage users to abuse them. They're just there for situations where it's (hopefully) appropriate, and they trust users to exercise good judgment. And for the most part it works, since there are only so many times you can abuse those features before people stop sending you emails.

There are many times when it's easy to get verbal permission from someone, but difficult or impossible to get email permission, e.g. if their email address has changed.

The UK's nuclear deterrent consists of one or two Trident submarines active at any given time which carry 8 Trident missiles each. (They can carry up to 16, but don't at the moment.) Don't be under the impression that the UK can deploy anything like its full stockpile of warheads in the event of a nuclear conflict.

How to design frictionless APIs
I ask myself this exact question about any and all vendors of machines running Windows 10. Still don't have a good answer other than they do it because there is no law to stop them and it's profitable. I mean why else would a business do this or anything for that matter? The justification therefore must be profit at all costs. The cost here is personal data. The cost in other industries are human lives. Companies enriching themselves at others' expense is the foundation of our society. What companies like Microsoft and Vizio are saying is that the price of the tv is the dollar cost plus a lifetime of data collection. Of course, there's no need to connect to the internet in case of these tvs. People running Windows technically have the same option but it's not such a good solution in that case.
Case in point: Cuphead.
There's a discussion in GEB about mystery/detective novels, and how the physical fact of seeing that you're near the end of the book leaks information about the state of the plot to you.

He muses - what if you inserted some number of blank pages at the end, so you weren't sure where the end was? But no, that's too easy - you might flip through and see them. What about Lorem Ipsum text? Well, that's better, but still obvious.

What you really need to do is pad out the book with text that looks as much as possible like the real book, but isn't.

And then one reads the latter parts of GEB, and you start wondering...
Very clever implementation of this technique
Power requirements are annoying. You need multiple voltages and they need to ramp up in a certain sequence at a certain ramp rate(!). Study reference designs - find a development board that has the same family of FPGA and also has published schematics and board layout (such as Intel and Xilinx official boards). Then just copy their power layout.
Adjusted for purchasing power it probably looks even worse for Silicon Valley. How much is an office and a good developer in a big city in China?

Random Bit Generation with Full Entropy and Configurable Prediction Resistance
So true. Inside Google, it used to be the case that every N months someone had to figure how to build their Python daemon with Blaze (Bazel) using tcmalloc. It was painful and I hope it's easier nowadays. Without it, after a few weeks you'd see memory leaks whose actual root cause was fragmentation. I can't remember how they interacted with the allocator in Python, but I always suspected that heavy use of protocol buffers made the problem a lot more acute.

I'm not even sure that we really get to "keep" more of our income. We have to hoard more of our income to buffer ourselves against emergencies that can drive people into bankruptcy, such as medical care. We have to save for college if we have kids. We need to cover ourselves in old age. It's "our" money, but it isn't really ours to spend.
I'd argue that it's because (true/hard) AI represents, in many ways, the "final frontier" of scientific research. Not in a literal sense -- they'll always be something else to study. But the notion of creating a thinking machine is, in many ways, the ultimate goal of studying nature and the world around us: to allow us to understand the processes and phenomenon at work well-enough to be able to capture/manipulate/recreate them at will.

This isn't new though -- "thinking machines" have captivated audiences for millenia. See the Antikythera mechanism [1], the Turk [2], and so on. The ability to replicate the capabilities of our own brains is intoxicating -- it finally signals that we, homo sapiens, understand our own minds well-enough to recreate their abilities at will.

Yes, they did "technically" overthrow.

The UK, alongside the US, overthrew a democratically elected government in Iran in 1953. This is not a point of contention, it's been openly stated by the CIA.

I genuinely thought the GP was making a joke until the bit about time off.
Force as in military or combat jobs? Any list that provides jobs or departments that offer this type of subsidy?

Quick Google search brings deferred loan programs. I'm not aware of subsidized housing programs except for stationed military. If this is widely available, it would change the math for many people. 4,500/month stipend pays the mortgage. Friends in other govt departments never had that, is it DC specific?
I think it depends on the market. Younger kids I would imagine aren't familiar with a 50 year old cartoon.

Too bad the Apple TV does violence to the sound output of the content that's playing. Unfortunatly, it seems like the only box that supports everything (HDR, x265, bitstreaming atmos, dts:x, etc) is the nvidia shield which is android TV so you get all of the usual Google crap.
Sure, but Android is one of the top 3 most deployed application environments in the world. It's a pretty big and important market.

I agree with you we should strive to avoid unnecessary hardship. Everything dies, and a life that ends with humane[0] slaughter is not necessarily one that wasn't worth living.

However I suspect we agree some lives are so filled with suffering that the compassionate choice is to not breed a sentient being into that life. Imagine choosing to get pregnant if you had certain evidence it'd damn your future child to a life of physical and mental anguish -- you'd refuse. That's the life of pigs and chickens on modern farms: too much suffering[1], below the threshold of "worth living."

Moreover, the state of the animal welfare movement is bleak[2] compared to the scope. Farm animal advocacy is a niche and regularly ridiculed. Progress is constantly on shaky ground: recent initiatives in MA and CA prohibiting animal products from animals raised in cages too small to turn around in is at serious risk of being overturned by the federal government's "King amendment," which would prevent any state-based welfare reforms. I'm passionately in support of this work, but under no delusion we're near the end of it.

Given that, the strategy I advocate for is both improved treatment of farm animals and reduced breeding of them -- at least until farm animal treatment improves. Hoping that treatment will catch up soon so that it'll obviate the need for dietary change is unrealistic today, though I sincerely hope (and will support those trying) to get there[3].

[0] Caveat that slaughter today is not always humane, in particular for chickens and fish.

[1] E.g. gestation crates and lifetime of small cages, genetic breeding that causes chickens to grow so fast they break their own legs, debeaking practices, and more.

[2] Progress is happening, and in fact the wins we've had are hugely beneficial to animals -- but I suspect decades before we're at "enough" of an improvement. Within that time billions of animals will be raised and slaughtered for food; the scale is hard to fathom.

[3] And frankly, I expect cultured meat and sophisticated plant-based meats like Beyond Burger to gain wide adoption before that.
Wait what? Are you suggesting that at some point in the book the text is just padding to throw you off? I haven't read it yet, but if that is what you are suggesting then I actually want to read it now. (if not then my interest is still don't feel any pull to it at all)
Have you actually tried any? I have a 4 year old Samsung TV and its Netflix app is great. I don't want the hassle of turning on my PS4 or setting up a Pi. I don't really see why people hate on Smart TVs I've used both Samsung and LG and they're great for netflix/plex/youtube (Other than the obvious privacy issues here, but I can't imagine most external devices are better).
studies like this: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/01/160120201224.h...

They essentially say the brain can hold approx. 2.5 petabytes. I don't think this can be measured accurately (or that it makes sense to translate it to bytes) due to the nature of neural networks, but it indicates that it's huge.

Other studies say it's around 500.000 "thought objects" (whatever that means) that you can hold in your long-term memory. But outliers like Rainman and others suggest that this is not necessarily the limit.
I have an LG Smart TV, and I use the build-in apps because I'm not aware any devices provide 12-bit 4k output without some sort of signal processing that I don't want.

Admittedly, it's been a while (and a couple of Apple TV 4k software revisions) since I've checked, but as you get into newer display technologies it's harder to find devices that can provide you the same experience you'd get from the built-in app.
I try to tell everyone I know--family, friends, etc.--to never use any of the online features of their "Smart" TV for this reason. Use a set-top box. Use a Roku, a Chromecast, a Fire Stick, your old game console--literally anything that you can connect to the TV to watch Netflix on will be better for your privacy than the TV itself.

I haven't updated my Samsung 40" TV in about 7 years for this reason. It's damn near impossible to just find a high quality "dumb" TV.
This has me ridiculously curious now. Is that common? Other than a random sampling of sites I go to, there a good way to get numbers on how often this is used?

Try a dynamically typed language like Ruby, Python or Lua. It's closest to Bash, but different enough to let you learn the power of a true programming language.

Then try a statically compiled language like F#, C#, OCaml, or Kotlin, depending on what kind of platform you like.

Then try a lower level language like C, Ada or Rust.

There are of course completely different paths you could also take, like tossing Prolog or Haskell in there somewhere, but the above path will cover the basics of what's most widely used in industry, ie. functional, imperative and OO paradigms, curly brace syntax vs indentation based syntax, the common control flow abstractions, statement oriented vs expression oriented languages, and statically and dynamically typed languages.
"House of cards" is an interesting analogy. Most books do a better job of appealing to a wide audience, while GEB comes with a long list of potential pitfalls, even for interested readers.
As I've heard it explained, monads are simply monoids on the category of endofunctors, or something.

(I know what monoids are in group theory, and have a vague glimpse that functors are maps between categories. I figure that endofunctors are functors from a category to itself; how they come to be their own category or how monoids even apply, well.)
Looks like they are working on it, which is good news ->

I prefer Clojure but if you need to develop for android then theres no decision to make, Kotlin wins. Being able to write the backend code for your android mobile app in the same language also makes Clojure less appealing.

Just because you choose to ignore valid criticism, that doesnt mean there is no criticism.

Go read https://blog.ircmaxell.com/2017/10/disclosure-wordpress-wpdb...

A couple of little snippets to highlight the point I'm trying to make:

> The current system is insecure-by-design. That doesn’t mean it’s always hackable, but it means you have to actively work to make it not attackable. It’s better to switch to a design that’s secure-by-default and make the insecure the exceptional case.

> The best path forward would be to switch to PDO/MySQLi and use real prepared statements and not emulate them in PHP land. That’s the best path forward.

But given that the core wordpress team basically ignore this type of suggestion from PHP core contributors, why would I expect you to believe me about it here?

You're right but 48% of us thought it was a terrible idea at the time and still haven't heard a good reason for leaving that doesn't involve vague patriotic ramblings.

Plus on top of that many of the pro-leave arguments have proved to be outright lies already ...and we still haven't even left yet.
Android doesn't use the JVM. They're slowly rolling in newer Java language features bit by bit though.

Switching languages only helps the syntax. If the Android Runtime can't do something it that means it can't do it in Java or Kotlin.
I can think of only two C++ "quirks" that meet the definition of "just mental clutter; nothing fundamentally interesting about them."

1. Nested templates closing brackets conflicting with `>>` operator, necessitating `> >`. This was fixed in C++ 11.
2. Syntax for declaring an automatic variable conflicts with the syntax for C function type: `Thing mything();`.

Those two certainly seem to be "unforced errors" where the language is simply stepping on its own feet for no good reason, and one of them hasn't even been relevant for over five years.

In all other cases in my experience, investigating the rationale behind a particular quirk has led to a fairly interesting reason; a difference between the heap and the stack, say, or the language giving you the option to not do some work that may be expensive and unnecessary. For example, beginners often are surprised and annoyed that `remove_if()` doesn't actually remove anything and they need to call `erase()`. But most STL algorithms work on a pair of start and end iterators and you can simply work with the new "past-the-end" iterator returned from `remove_if()` allowing you to combine or omit the calls to `erase()`. This is certainly quirky but its not "mental clutter": there actually is a fairly interesting reason for the API being designed this way, rooted in the zero-overhead principle.

In my experience that has been the rule, not the exception - taking the time to understand the "why" behind a given quirk usually results in being forced to admit to yourself, "yes, I see; that is the only way it could have been designed as a zero overhead abstraction. The 'simpler' alternative I had in my head would require some overhead to implement." I think that's the reason why so many people on this thread who have read "The Design and Evolution of C++" change their mind and come away with praise for the language - because it lays bare the logic behind many of those design decisions.

I would be interested to hear which quirks in C++ you view as mental clutter and/or design mistakes. As far as I can tell, most of C++'s usability problems come from it being too carefully designed and too backwards compatible. And after witnessing disasters such as Perl 6, I'm not sure "backwards compatible" is really a "mistake" per se.
> The deductible usually is in the range of $200-$500. Doctor vists are a $25 flat fee, drugs are similar, etc. If you get cancer or something huge, maybe you'll pay $2000-5000/yr out of pocket?

Exactly. The maximum you can pay out of pocket is capped at $7,350 for individuals and $14,700 for families. That's the absolute maximum, and the insurance plans for almost any tech job (which is what we're talking about in this thread) are going to have caps that are a lot less than that.

$14,700 isn't a small amount of money for a family, but it's a lot less than the after-tax difference between salaries in New York and London/Berlin/Munich/Paris/Amsterdam/etc. for these jobs. Even if you're a single-income household, you still come out way ahead.
The motivation for creating of EASTL was mostly to get rid of allocations. std::vector does not have an allocation problem. Other STL containers do.
>With the low nicotine liquids coming out, I bet they are low enough that you can’t smoothly transition from higher nicotine content to lower nicotine content.

There's a funny little "vape van" in back of a strip mall where I live. They make their own vape juice (with a permit, of course) in-house right in front of you. They measure the nicotine themselves, so theoretically I could get as much or as little nicotine as I wanted in 240 mLs at $80. They also label the bottles if there are any controversial flavorings.

There are more than a handful of vape shops in my city like this, who can mix their own and who care about what happens with their customers. It's actually like a little community sometimes.

I think as long as the gourmet vape juice business survives, there won't be the problems you talk about. Kids want the Juul convenience, but adults trying to quit smoking usually want to do it the best way-- ie. not with salted nicotine, or disposable juice pods, etc. It's kind of like coffee or chocolate in that way, where it's easy and fun to become sort of a connoisseur and buy all the best and interesting flavors and smoke them in the perfect vape.
This is a perfect case where even if you pay you still are the product. Of course this needs regulation.
