Microsoft and Walmart form a digital alliance against Amazon
Age has never really been a reliable indicator of quality, though.
Agree wholeheartedly. Unfortunately the prices don't seem to reflect the cheap "knock-off" products that are sold. I have since moved on to Wish and AliExpress, where the delivery times are also 4-6 weeks but the prices are 1/5-1/10th of eBay listings and the quality (in my personal experience) is at least on par or better, not to mention there is often a much larger selection.

We are lucky in Austria though, for 2nd hand stuff we have willhaben.at which everyone uses and is basically a mix of eBay and Craigslist (which we officially have @ vienna.craigslist.at but after years is still mostly just spam listings and is therefore IMO unusable).

> we haven't been running AC in the summers, so our house has been up around 90F with high humidity. It is very comfortable across that whole spectrum.

Everyone is different, but I can’t imagine anything remotely comfortable about sleeping in 90° heat with high humidity. Having recently had to spend a few weeks “sleeping” (more like constant restlessness) in a bedroom in the lower 80s, that just sounds like hell.

Unfortunately, noise is an inherent property of the propellers since it is moving air. There are methods that are used to make them quieter but usually this is for military applications and too costly. However, this is a hybrid plane so it acts like a quadcopter when it hovers vertically at a set point. It acts like a plane when its traveling long distances. Admittedly, RC planes can get pretty loud but it should be substantially quieter when it is coasting at constant altitude compared to a hovering drone.
Calculating the probability that A and a sequential event B will happen rather than inferring the probability of A given an a posteriori event B might be more intuitive to bring up in this argument.

An easy way to explain how the conclusion was derived is just by considering that we have to multiply probabilities to calculate the probability of a conjunction of events, and since most probabilities are below 1, the number will always be less than or equal to a single event.

Last time I visited a doctor without insurance I had the same experience. I visited a PA for half an hour and had a vial of blood drawn and apparently the mathematics required to determine the cost of that was so complicated it required several days of calculation.
An idea that I've never heard expressed explicitly is how REST is basically distributed OOP. Both REST and OOP lead people to waste their time on unimportant questions.

Sure, but the barrier to entry is higher, so its not done as often. I’ve never noticed someone who was obviously cheating (which doesn’t mean I’ve never encountered any, but if I have, they’ve never been so severe as to do the things mentioned here or for me to notice it)

> Cause Rembrandt actually teached that apprentice how to do his work.

And a modern artist told his technician how to do his work.

In this sense, I think the boundary is much more fluent. In my personal opinion, the artist is the person who has the "most established name" to sell the piece of art that he branded under his name to rich people.

Seems like a good point, but in fact many great poets started their careers well before 30.
Oh sure.

But consider the same issue with different words.

You made your API, you told people outside the company about it, you got it widely used. Are you free to deprecate it? Are you free to change it incompatibly?

You made your postcodes to better sort and deliver letters. That was your only purpose. You told everyone about them and kept telling them until absolutely every database with addresses included your postcodes, and people started using them for other purposes. Are you free to change them if some tweak would improve your ability to sort and deliver letters?

FWIW I don't have an opinion on the matter.

Ask HN: What are the best books about Quantum Computing for beginners?
As I searched for Quantum Computing books, I didn't have success to find the book that is written for non-technical person. For me, I understand the basics, but I have people around me who are not involved in Computer science and they are still interested to learn about Quantum Computing. Also, I found IBM's videos very useful when I recommend them but still books are better structured in terms of learning the processes. Thanks.

Vue-starter: A flexible, scalable, opinionated boilerplate for PWAs
A technique that works really well for me is to focus hard on the fact that my job is to be merely a conduit for information, and any anxiety I might feel is just another factor that might impact my ability to convey that information. My feelings then become secondary because my whole focus is on the message. Sometimes I still get an adrenaline rush at the start, but this dissipates as I focus on the content. Other times I am completely relaxed throughout.

The comments here show that there's still much confusion about REST being an architectural STYLE, not an actual architecture.

If you can present your domain as addressable representations of resources and if you can lay out your business logic as changes to these resources,
then you could use REST via HTTP to provide access to your service.

Furthermore, if it is important to allow any client to connect to your service and you don't have any control over the clients used, then adopting HATEOAS provides a backward-compatible, future-proof way for client software to work with your service.

If, OTOH, you have full control over the client-side, you can trade-off these abilities for a simpler model (like GraphQL, if you must, or simple RPC over HTTP)

Know what you design for.

Re Caching:
Caching in HTTP is very flexible. E-Tags basically give you fine-grained control over how to cache and allow for significant bandwidth/performance improvement.
However, in many cases your app will also benefit from an additional cache layer in your persistence layer. Don't confuse them.
You are right for the tiny very specific example they are using.

Honestly if I try to explain my reasoning, it's just a waste of energy at this point. Behavior, people, you can't predict it. You can't predict thoughts people have. Can't infer intent for why people use one pedantic example to illustrate a point over another.
The logic is sound so I'm not sure how "being able to choose how to think" changes anything

I recommend looking at the prototypes throughout the years from them [1]. It's pretty cool to see what they changed. I am super curious about some of their decisions. I am sure there are good reasons but I am not too clear why (like having smaller props. Did the wake of the large props decreased the efficiency for gliding more than using smaller props for hovering?!)

Fair point. Of course, to a FOSS purist, it's still not good enough, as mere source-inspectibility isn't enough to qualify as OSI Open Source, or as FSF Free Software.
What seems missing here and in the article is the way in which an Artist’s physical interaction with media affect their ideas - it’s a feedback loop.

I think an Artist with huge experience of certain materials and processes can readily outsource work but I think an artist working solely in the idea sphere misses an opportunity for development.

I often think of David Lynch trying and failing to do the Elephant Man makeup himself and then yielding to a specialist - he must have learned and thought a lot about what he wanted doing that.
often, the malicious force actively pushing for increasing profits is systemic itself - the responsibility of public company executives to maximise shareholder value.

also, most of the time I think "evil greedy people" is just people who are far enough abstracted away from the impact of their deeds that they have no connection to the impact. If you're looking at departmental budgets all day, you probably don't see the patient who gets refused treatment.

Yes. One could always complain about both, but yes there is a difference. The US doesn't try to punish companies that come from countries that merely acknowledge Iran as a sovereign nation. Nor does the US insist that anybody who claims Iran is not part of America be banned from doing business in America. I think there's certainly a difference.

No matter how small the room is, or how much you think you can project, use the microphone. I can't stand when people say, "I have a loud voice, I'm not gonna use the microphone." And then either scream for an hour, or fade in and out of intelligibility.
The title of this article is pretty awful, Zuckerbergs position on the topic actually seems pretty reasonable - they don't ban controvertial opinions/falsehoods, they just limit their distribution through the news feed, unless they are actually advocating violence against a group (i.e. hate speech).
The why is much more important than the how. The job of the talk is to convince people to read your paper. Focus on motivating your work, overview how the approach was done and the results but the setting for the problem is much more important.

Batteries souped-up with fluorinated electrolytes for longer-range driving
Although I am not an Entrepreneur, I have read some books and blogs around Entrepreneurship. The conses seems to be that Entrepreneurs almost universally put way to much value and weight into their idea. In business the idea isn't worth shit, the execution is.
You don’t expand options by removing them. Being forced to use a company’s appeals process is a distinct reduction in freedom from the status quo.
The positive side is that all this Hollywood abomination with rubber suit superheroes and space swords made of petrified light may drive itself to terminal absurdity. The medium of "feature films" as a whole is disgusting and deserves at least "disruption".

I deeply hate all this shitty culture: cinema theatres in shopping malls, popcorn, DVDs, bluerays, MPAAs, bearded actors' snouts all looking the same, posters all looking the same, obsession with rotten 50s scifi setting ad nauseam, sequels, prequels, triquels.
I have mixed feelings about the Last Jedi, but it definitely wasn’t predictable.
Sellers can't leave negative feedback on buyers, I think is the meaning.
The two arguments I've seen laid against the sequels are either vague rants about "SJW propaganda" or that they're disgracing the originals, especially the characters, by deconstructing and recontextualizing them.

And it's unfortunate because what they seem to object to is taking risks with the material. They only want the EU on screen, nothing else. I'm as old as the franchise and I want to see something new done with the universe. Don't pander to the old guard, challenge them and undermine their expectations.

Somewhat off topic: I always wondered why people would bother showing up for a talk or conference if they're going to be on their phone or laptop during the entire thing.

Last time I went to a conference I was actually a little surprised by the number of people at the talks who where clearly working during the entire thing. Why bother, you most likely pay for the plane ticket, the hotel and the conference it self, and then not pay attention? If you're only interested in one talk, then just go to that one and then leave.

Given that people mostly show up to technical talks of their own free will, I don't think you need to trick them into paying attention. It's fair to assume that they are generally interested and focused on what you have to say.
The metric system has broken with its own past, though. The breaks were true breaks, not just elaborations, but they were executed with great care for compatibility. 1m has been defined in four or five different ways, depending on how you count.

There's a lesson here: There is a middle ground between preserving legacy and causing problems by deprecation.

Interpretable ML [1] is a small online book on interpretable methods. Even if the content itself is rather shallow, it has links to a lot of more focused papers on the topic. Towards A Rigorous Science of Interpretable Machine Learning is one of the most thorough papers on interpretable ML that I have come across. The main author, Finale Doshi-Velez, has a done a lot of interesting work on interpretability [3].

I think interpretability is much more correlated with model size than model type.

Small neural net is much more interpretable than decision trees with thousands of nodes.

1) It's a lot cheaper to have antibiotics properly regulated and conservatively prescribed. That's how Norway still manages to do just fine with Penicillin in majority of cases. Voila, no need for phages.

4) USSR jumped onto antibiotics as soon as they were available, and hasn't really looked back.
One of the longstanding examples of this that immediately sprung to mind is Dale Chihuly (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dale_Chihuly), the renown glass sculptor.

Except Chihuly has not physically produced ANY of the glass sculptures attributed to him since 1979: "...he continued to blow glass until he dislocated his right shoulder in a 1979 bodysurfing accident. No longer able to hold the glass blowing pipe, he hired others to do the work."

It's an interesting thought experiment about what art actually IS: is art the idea behind the piece? Is it the skill that the individual has in physically bringing the piece to life? If the person with the vision doesn't physically produce the outcome, is it still their art?

It's pretty easy to sit back and say "No, of course not, if you only have the vision and don't do any of the work, then you don't get all of the credit!" And yet, think about how this translates over to the technology world. Whose name is associated with the iPhone? Steve Jobs. Did he, alone, design all aspects of the device? Perhaps. Did he code every chip, bevel every edge, sketch every wireframe? No. Did it come to fruition in a vacuum? Of course not, and yet very few of us can name any of the other individuals who collaborated with Jobs. Does Steve Jobs deserve credit for the invention? Of course, and he signed off on every design decision and charted the course for the device to come into existence. However, he was not an independent actor, but a spearheading collaborator with a very large team coming together to work on one project. And yet, Steve Jobs is the name we know.

So in that vein, is Dale Chihuly an artist? If he only designs the pieces (and from what I've seen, "designing" consists of vaguely sketching out colored shapes on large pieces of paper and then overseeing all of the glassblowers who make the various parts of his sculptures) but he never physically produces ANY of the sculptures attributed to his name, does he deserve all of the credit? If he oversees the whole process, start to finish, and has final say on every single aspect of the sculpture, should he be lauded for his vision even though it was not his effort that brought that vision to life?
Exherbo – Source based Linux distribution with deterministic package management
I've been interested in ERPNext for years and always kept an eye on it as an alternative or replacement for our in-house developed ERP, which currently grows in complexity and may end up at a point where it's too much of a burden for a small team like ours.

One area where ERPNext really seems to be lacking is marketing and presentation. You definitely have the features, but I don't think you're doing a good job of showcasing and documenting them, particualrly before I create an account. You try to show those features in Youtube videos, but the production value doesn't seem to be much higher than a private screencast - I'm worried that this kind of presentation actually hurts you.

Another problem is language support. Last time I checked you worked on community based translation efforts, which resulted in experimental international support. May the quality of the translations has improved since then, and of course I could (and did) help, but without proper doemstic language support (german in my case), there's no way I could use ERPNext with our non-tech, barely english speaking staff.

Other than that I've been intrigued for a long time and wish you would not delete free single user accounts so soon (do they still exist at all?) - I tend to try ERPNext from time to time, with long pauses inbetween, and often have to create a new account.
Apparently the weak point of accepting this explanation of the layout is that so far they have not found such confirming evidence as this.
