Frank Herbert once made the observation that corporate hierarchies were very similar to feudal hierarchies, just with milder consequences for disloyalty and failure. (The hierarchies within organized crime are even closer to the feudal ones, even including the feudal ceremonial trappings. This even works across cultures, where Japanese organized crime harkens back to feudal Japan and Italian/Sicilian organized crime harkens back to medieval and rennaissance Italy.) Along this line of thinking, corporate flavored collectivism should be structurally similar to Stalinist USSR, including the requirement for ideological conformity. However, the branding is likely to be far, far different.

Corporations certainly have purges. Happens all the time after mergers.
There is a difference between organic shifts in language use over time and forced shifts made by an influential few motivated by some misguided urge to improve society by limiting the range of thought.

Think of the word "gun". The image that entered your mind just now was not a water gun. It was a weapon, the kind of device the gun emoji used to depict and now no longer does.

The people forcing this kind of change want you to associate the concept of a gun with a water gun or other toy, and they think that by changing your though pattern this way, they'll make society safer.

This is terrifying and totalitarian idea. Once you buy into the idea that you can force a change to the language to achieve your desired social aims, there's no intrusion into private life that you will be unable to justify.
Stateside, most phones ship with locked bootloaders. Most models never see their bootloader get unlocked, because all the development interest goes towards the flagship phones from Samsung and LG.
A good OS does not a win in the marketplace guarantee. Windows phone is a case in point.

BTW - the suggested response is indeed a logical reaction to EU's illogical charges. True choice is allowing phones @ $150 - $1500 to exist, customized for every customer segment in the marketplace. True choice is the ability to tinker with the underlying OS and ROM. True choice is the ability to side-load apps despite __insert_agency_here__ not blessing it. And Android empowers those choices.
That has nothing to do with open software.

I haven't used Safari, but Edge would consistently not respond to pushing buttons like stop and back. It was prettier than mobile IE from WP 8 when it worked, and address bar on the bottom is clearly better than on top like most other mobile browsers, but on a platform with few apps, the browser has to just work. On larger pages, if you scrolled down far enough, the page would go all white.
I get your point and I know it’s a great way to reap those free internet points, but you’re being a little disingenuous with the Apple hate here. Apple never licensed out iOS to the EU or anywhere else. The kernel of iOS is open source. I think it’s a stretch to conclude that Apple purposefully makes their browser incompatible with web standards in any meaningful way to drive App Store revenue. And the minimum price of an iPhone is nowhere near $1000. They start at $350 retail.
Fine but now you have to find every packaged binary using the old compiled version and update that too.
My position, which I'm starting to get loud about, is that defaults matter more because the most recent shift in developer 'standards', for better or worse, is to expect us to use a vast number of tools to do our work.

If I have to use a vast number of tools, not only can't I be an expert in all of them, I can't even dedicate 5% of my attention to each one of them. Or really, to any of them. Because if I do, then I have nothing left to fulfill my job description. I'd just be curating a list of third party code all day long.

We either need to back away from the 'npm install' model or we need to really start thinking about our libraries as cattle. Which means they all have to behave in a predictable fashion or we cull them from the herd.

You can't have it both ways. We can't use peer pressure to stop people from writing their own (NIH), and then blame the victim when tools behave in surprising ways. The safeties need to be on by default, and only a few things in our lives can be so dangerous that we require special training to use them without killing ourselves. We only have space for a handful.

We need to develop the humility to accept that our module should be boring to the people using it, rather than a special snowflake. Take pride in the utility, not the notoriety.
Never ascribe to malice, what can be explained by apathy.
Finally, IIRC, how to do integration of algebraic expressions in closed form has long been a solved problem and long ago was coded up in some software -- IIRC, the software will report the result or state that no closed form solution exists.

Are you thinking of indefinite integrals?

This article is about a trick for definite integrals. If you can do the indefinite integral you can do a definite one, but not necessarily vice versa.

Stuff like this makes me happy for technology
I'm adding it to the list, thanks.
"I'm a backer and I have no problem with this"

That's fine that you're happy with what they're doing. Other people aren't, and they should be able to get their money back when the direction went somewhere else.
Its not feature creep that killed SC.
I'm a game dev and I followed its development just out of sheer morbid curiosity.. Pretty much their entire process was fucked from the beginning, and they never corrected it. Its a huge case of 'Escalation of commitment' rather than feature creep, being the root cause.

At the very beginning Chris Roberts hired some artists to make a visual demo in Cryengine, to raise money. It worked, great! .. This is when they should have scrapped the demo, and hired a really great lead dev to plan out the full game. But, no, they kept building on this amateur Cryengine demo in a disorganized fashion and have been ever since.
The Fermi Paradox, to me, is more a philosophical question about the destructive nature of humanity, than it is actually talking about alien civilization. Points of note are 'what is the bottleneck to traveling outside of the space we inhabit?'. Why does one ask the question 'why don't we see life everywhere?'.

Lately, some of the time I see this as a metaphor for 'what is the dilemma with broadening horizons?'

There could be alien life, there could not be. It's interesting to think about for a while but sometimes I think it is talking about something deeper than the existence of aliens and outer space. Philosophical question about the nature of existence.
>> our Jenkinsfile can assume certain plugins are installed, assume other jobs are configured on the same Jenkins

I think what worked for us in this case was using Jenkins shared library[1]. We provide a common template for the common stacks and expose only few configurable options. This would really help in maintaining sanity across the jenkins env and since you maintain the shared lib, you can control the dependencies.

Having setup my life so I can simply sleep and rise naturally I'm living a perfectly normal and happy life - more productive than ever. There is nothing wrong with me and its not a terrible "fate".

What is terrible is that we don't accept that some people have different sleep schedules.
1) Text entry that attempts to accept different formats and displays the formatted parse of the format next to it. Decent on desktop, text entry on mobile is poor.

Why not the standard MMDDYYYY (or DDMMYYYY depending on localization) format (with intervening static / /) that every credit card or user information form uses? Number entry on mobile is very easy.
I wish I had a link for this, but I believe as Obamacare was being drafted / the economy was in dire straits in 2009, the Obama administration had to make a choice about whether to radically streamline health care, but at the cost of killing employment in (at the time) the only growing sector of the United States.

They chose to not streamline it, which is understandable, but obviously a price had to be paid at some point.

Related story, went with my wife into a small but advanced local hospital where she has a surgical consult about her sinuses. This hospital was beautiful and fully loaded with all the latest technology, big screen TVs, tablets, etc. Nonetheless, in the waiting room there were 5 office admins each with dual monitors checking people in. It’s like they didn’t get any benefit at all from the technology......
> A factory reset should get you plain Android, not Android plus whatever your carrier got paid to dump on your phone.

I don't mind a button that does that, but when the name is "factory reset", it's literally supposed to reset the phone to what it was like coming out of the factory, which includes whatever they bundled with it.
I don't think the design of an auction or a voting system has all that much to do with economic cycles.
I'm actually confident that Star Citizen will eventually come out. While $200m sounds like a lot of money, a popular online game can make much more than that. The pre-sales have proven that there is a fanatic audience. If the project is horribly managed now, expert developers and investors can be brought in to achieve the goal. The passion and awareness is golden.
Notably, this doesn't add the date at a reliable place in the file. Instead, it adds the date at the last place your cursor was when you had the file open last.
I don't think you can know what the right problem is to work on, except in hindsight.
If you're so apathetic as to be actively harmful that's still malicious.

Also, as they are actively looking to increase profits, I can't possibly see how this is "apathetic".

Quit making excuses for garbage people.
I expect at least to be able to view the sequence of symbols that was emitted by the author. Because the majority of writing is digital, and because of the way it is stored, I think changing the emoji is especially deceptive and malicious, but emoji are so silly anyway it is hard to get really properly upset about it.

In my opinion if the people that changed the gun emoji had done it by introducing a new watergun emoji, replaced the gun with watergun on the keyboards, and declined to make their devices capable of emitting the sequence of bytes representing the gun, I would have been fine with that, and for their preening purposes I think that would have been sufficient. I'd consider that annoying and rude, but not malicious. If you have a unicode text file with the gun emoji, and you don't know when it was written, you genuinely can't tell what the author wrote as a symbol, even ignoring all the complexities of language, almost as if the word was blurred, and you can't tell between two possibilities.
Thanks! That's a really cool use case. We have another AI company using Optic for something similar and I hope they share their on their blog work soon.

If you can put together an example of the kind of code you want Optic to write for each module I'm happy to help you guys create Optic skills around it. There's also information in our docs on how to do this yourself. If you generated the routes with Optic you'd also be able to consume them easily and keep all your code synced as you update the input your models require.

How often do you find your team writing these microservices / tests?
Interesting. Which industries in particular?
Hi Adora, thanks for your help.

Sorry to ask a rather trivial question but I can't seem to reset my password from last year's account; when I type a new password (on the form one gets to, from the reset email), the system says "Please review the problems below:" but the problems aren't shown...

Is it important to keep the same account as last year or should I create a new account?
That certainly would've been my first step.
That position isn't supported by volatile transaction fee data - excepting spikes for spam or high traffic, the transaction fee denominated in dollars generally tracks the price of ETH. Probably because the overwhelming majority of ETH activity is speculative (60% of ETH held on exchanges), and traders view transaction fees as simply a percentage of gains/losses and are more amenable to paying higher fees.

The encasement is advertised as fire retardant, bed bug resistant, and some other things I don't recall at the moment. There are inspectors and such for mattress-related products so I assume that this is reasonably accurate.

Bless this mindset. The internet would be a lot less interesting without the makers and their write-ups.
Slang can change rapidly based on current events.
Yes, this decision does make it harder for google to strong arm Samsung into including Play Movies. But Samsung has shown many times that they have no issues including bloatware on their devices for some kind of pay.

It stands to reason that all Google would have to do is pay them, and the same result will still happen (unless this decision means that Google literally can't do that since they are in a dominant position, i'm not a lawyer so I don't know).

Overall I think we want the same stuff. More competition, less preinstalled shit, and a healthier ecosystem. However we disagree on how to get there. I personally think Android is heading the right direction. It's always been pretty simple to replace everything but the settings view with your own alternatives after install (hell, even the system web view can be swapped out, and IIRC Mozilla has been working on getting Firefox in a position so it can be the default web view on android if you want), and I agree that Google could be forced to do more in this space (a "select your browser from these 5 choices" is a good compromise, but I'd be pissed if I had to do that for my phone, messages, browser, email client, homescreen, etc... on every device i'd be annoyed. Not to mention that many people expect a Google phone to work well, and will go to Google when it doesn't. If my phone app stops working and I didn't choose the Google phone app, they now need to field calls from users who don't know Google can't do anything to fix it).
Sounds like a recipe for a thriving marketplace in emoji packs.
I was talking about international peering. If you are in USA/Europe, it's not much of an issue. Outside of that, the situation gets murky. Local ISPs don't do international peering, they piggyback on other, whose peering capacity is almost always oversold.

Yes, the last mile is the biggest expense, but other costs are not small either. An ISP with a couple of 1000 users are just reselling BW from someone else. They are at the mercy of their upstream's peering. I wasn't referring to them.

I own an ISP outside the developed nation.
Why does everything always need to be in the root of a git repo?
To each his own indeed, but I think it would be a good idea for them to release a kick-ass space sim, and then refine and expand gameplay in Star Citizen 2.
Yes, catholics. Why does it matter? Persecution is persecution, be it against jews, catholics, protestants, muslims, atheists, whatever.

Also, you’re saying “100 years earlier” as if that’s a long timespan in history. I know, the USA is not much older than that, but in Europe, 100 years is nothing.

And considering that ~40 years after the last Russian pogroms there was this thing called “the Holocaust”, I’m not really convinced that antisemitism was a thing of the past in Western Europe either.
This trend towards redefining freedom of expression to disinclude an audience is unfathomably Orwellian.

"No, no, we don't want to silence you; we just want to remove the hearing ability of everyone around you until you stop talking."
This is the problem with common economic measures. We spend 18% of GDP on health care, but that's just overhead and we should be trying to drive it to zero.
I get your point, and deifying Apple with falsehoods is indeed a great way to score internet points. But touting Apple fandom as facts is disingenuous here.

No - you can't confuse carrier subsidies and contracts with price.
And they can also pray that their development environment still works on Linux 9.21
Great then we could get some decent security with singularly responsible party.
Kind of a turn-off that it jumps immediately from CLI to web UI, without even considering native UI. Macintosh developers worked quite effectively for almost two decades without any sort of standard, out-of-the-box command line environment; sure some used Macintosh Programmer’s Workshop, but the vast majority lived in IDEs like THINK Lightspeed Pascal and C (later Symantec THINK Pascal and C) and Metrowerks CodeWarrior, and were extremely satisfied with their experience.
Maybe low end phones in the US are shipping with 8GB; low end phones in lower income markets still only have 4GB. (See the recent articles about life with a Bharat 2)
Until there is a meaningful `git diff` for jupyter notebooks I can't see them being a step in the right direction for anything but transient experiments (and of course what Jypyter is great at; communication, documentation, low barriers etc.)
The people who are that overhead do not want it to be driven to zero.
Open doesn't mean the same thing as free.
Sure, I'm assuming that most of the transactions are trading/speculation, given that 60% of ETH is held on exchanges, and if the question is how we should value ETH, a measure that depends on the current market value of ETH seems flawed. Plus, the base transaction amount is denominated in ETH: .00042, and is fixed (though I think that the gas conversion changes?).
At my wife's practice they employ two people full time just to do insurance authorizations.

edit: actually one of those people does verification (checking to see what insurance patients have, what is covered, and estimate what they will owe) and the other person just does authorization (getting the insurance company to approve the procedure)

Not per se, but they do wish their own health care weren't so @#$#@% expensive, which amounts to roughly the same thing.
"Yes, it is"

No, it isn't. That's why they call it "disable" and not "delete".
As worded, it sounds like emulating the Switzerland or Germany model is the best solution. They offer decent patient choice but don't pay significantly higher for that choice than single-system countries. USA citizens on average prefer choice, and would probably agree to pay a little more to get choice.
It’s odd that we depend on one “super content provider” to determine the truth of everything. A long time ago, you just had two bias newspapers and you read both of them knowing their slant, and then made up your own mind.

Right now I think the best way to get news is just to toggle back and forth between MSNBC and Fox.

Note the "disable or". Which is exactly the FIRST line of my first comment in this thread.

The /system partition is also not about locking in users. It has a specific technical reason. But I get it, you are not interesting in constructive debate, you want to "win".

Ask yourself what TYPE of therapist you want:
- the type that give you a prescription drug to suppress the symptoms that you complain about, or
- the type that knows how to search for the root cause of the health issues and informs you how to get rid of them.

My advice is to go to http://www.brokenbrain.com before you make a decision.
There's nothing about PPO that helps it learn long-range strategies. It primarily lets you make multiple steps for a single batch so you can converge faster.

In fact, for a single step with no policy lag, it's equivalent to a standard policy gradient update.

DeepMind was also able to train a CTF agent with human-level reaction time: https://deepmind.com/blog/capture-the-flag/

I suspect the difference that allows you to train with reaction time is an RNN or compensating for the lag some other way. I'm testing that out right now with my own SSBM bot: https://www.twitch.tv/vomjom
Sorry, is it really necessary to say nevermore instead of "sf"? I understand some of us have been playing since WC3 days and are used to the old names (wisp, necrolyte, nevermore) but it's actually longer to pronounce AND more confusing nowadays.
