I've read it doesn't work if both your eGPU and dGPU are Nvidia. (This is mainly a problem with the 750M Macbook.)
Yes, there are lots of charlatans in the blockchain space (and startups in general).

Figuring this out now, half a year after market participants noted a bear market isn’t worth much however.
There is zero need for blockchains in real estate registries. Real estate property rights are enforced by the government, ultimately through threat of official violence. So the government might as well maintain a centralized real estate registry since we're effectively forced to trust them anyway.
I've always wondered what determines the ultimate typing speed of a touch typist. I typically type between 70 to 80 wpm, and have been for decades. I don't think I would have any hope of achieving 100+ wpm.
Linear logic is the shit. I've been reading up a lot on linear logic and certain things I have a hunch it closely corresponds to and I'm convinced it's the formalism for 21st century.

Basically, it's like classical logic but with two players. From player 1's point of view, player 2's AND has different semantics than his own AND.

It's the logic of state developing over time. In classical logic a statement can only be true since negative eternity and it will be true until eternity.

On the other hand, linear logic deals with statements like "I have a dollar" which can be spent on an ice cream. Therefore, at some point, "I have a dollar" was false, then it became true, and then it became false again.

It's also the logic that captures the difference between a reference and a value which is weirdly important. Unix's "everything is a file" should actually be recast as "everything is a reference".

The Rust borrow checker is based on a subset of linear logic and it's the secret sauce of said compiler. It can reason statically about dynamic systems.

I'll make some claims that I can support with papers if need to be so ask if you want proof. Currently, probability is based on measure theory however linear logic can also be used (Vovk bases probability on game theory which is essentially linear logic).

Generative adversarial networks (which are based on minimax) are based on linear logic as minimax is very linear logical.

I would go as far as to say that mathematics, in addition to axiom of choice also needs an axiom of adversarial choice. Axiom of choice assumes that you can always pick the best possible option, however you need to be able to account for your worst possible options as well. All mathematical optimization falls outside of classical logic.

The funniest thing is that this idea, the duality of things is very old. Dialectics is very firmly rooted in Western philosophy (Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, you know the usual suspects) however no one ever extended it to a formal logic.

Karl Marx (I hate Marx but realize that his ideas might have influenced people so knowing why he was wrong is worth something) also talked about a similar idea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialectical_materialism). In particular Engel's summary is work exploring https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialectical_materialism#Engels...

They are essentially talking about linear logic, however the third rule is very much wrong, negation of negation is not a part of a logic of two opposites.

It can also be used as the foundation of probability instead of the more traditional measure theory.

I can talk about this for hours.
I didn't say it was sexual assault either. Sexual assault and sexual harassment are two different things. On this thread, we are talking about the latter.
Stone tablets last 2 millenniums... A better idea is to make multiple copies and store them far away in case the warehouse burns down.
>> Everybody remembered the wrecked cities of WWII

> Is this actually a thing in American memory, given that no American city was bombed in WWII?

To veer off-topic a bit, I think this is an interesting question brings up two important points:

First, as the WWII generation has died out, people seem to have become less averse to war and to care less about the institutions built to prevent it (the UN, EU, international law, etc.). They were built because the survivors of WWII thought war was the worst scourge of humanity, and that another war - with ~1945 technology - could destroy civilization.

Second, the U.S. experienced very little direct harm in WWII, and even the overseas casualties were orders of magnitude less than those of the European and Asian countries (e.g., the U.S. lost 200,000; the USSR lost 20 million). If the worst happens and the U.S. fights another major war, the enemy likely will be able to strike the U.S. with missiles. Even North Korea can do it to a limited degree.

With the loss of the WWII generation, I think Americans have become cavalier about war, and because the WWII didn't affect the U.S. nearly as badly as the Europe and East Asia, they don't conceive of a different kind of war, such as one where missiles rain down on every American city. We can assume the Bay Area would be a priority target, for example; it's hard to imagine what that would be like; it's hard to imagine the consequences of it.
For a completely different perspective, I want to raise a few points, in no specific order.

I don't believe having laws that make people hard to fire is the right solution, because a healthy relationship with your work is absolutely critical for a fulfilling job. In essence, jobs should be mutually voluntary and easy to terminate with reasonable terms and notice.

I think what is more important is that there should exist sound social infrastructure and safety-nets that affords employees better negotiation power. There is nothing that makes you weaker in a negotiation than being desperate for the transaction.

Let's face it, we are headed into a new era and a new industrial revolution that is going to make millions of jobs obsolete.

If this sounds too much like an argument for Universal Basic Income, it is not because it is intended to be, it is because UBI may be after all the right solution going forward.
No matter where I go on vacation (or even if I’m staycationing) I tell everyone in my office I will be backpacking in the mountains without access to cell reception.
The USA started a trade war by putting tariffs on stuff that's not allowed via NAFTA.

The US being 10x larger than Canada always has the upper hand in trade negotiations.
I just think political differences should not cause people to fired. That could get out of control fast.
I'm genuinely curious what similar goal an Apple Watch achieves
Regarding Asia that’s an apt observation that goes right against the premise of the author.
Relating to your aside, correlation does not imply causation. Is it the diversity making those companies perform better, or better performance leading to the economic resources to pursue diversity programs?

Jonathon Haidt's research shows there are trade-offs between mono-cultures and diverse cultures. Neither is "better" than the other. Each have different traits. As a quick example, diverse groups (on average) are more creative at problem solving than mono-cultures, while mono-cultures (on average) have higher "Moral Cultural Capital" and are thus better at group allegiance and out competing other groups when the tasks are known.

An example from the real world might be that the United States has a more diverse culture and has a lot of creative output in its economy, while China or Japan are mono-cultures and have less creativity but are out competing others when the task undertaken is well known (ie not requiring creative problem solving).
This is a fear of mine since an employer can fire you for basically any reason and just cite a compliant reason on paper. This is why I find it very hard to extend a relationship with an employer beyond anything other than work and I don't like being forced into recreational activities with my team.
Uh not really. Most fruit is both low to medium GI and GL. Sugar in fruit is bound to fiber and bloodstream uptake is fairly slow.

There is a negative correlation between RDA fruit consumption and diabetes.
I grew up in the Netherlands and I was only aware these existed through TV. Maybe they're around though and I just didn't pay attention.

Very interesting way to frame the issue; thanks. Do you know where I could read more about that?
Great summary! I remember being young and seeing lottery tickets with simple math problems like “25 * 4 - 20 = ?” to get around the “no games of chance” laws.

My brother won a Sony Watchman (mini-TV) and we all double checked his math before redeeming.
Well, I think most of the concepts are design-centric.

We have history, tagging and bookmarks but I barely use them in modern browsers.

This UI makes it more orthogonal (it seems).

I have nothing useful that I can say here except that this has happened to me. A few months back, I created a new account on Outlook with a username that I wanted to adopt for my communication. When I tried to login the next day, the account had been suspended by Microsoft with a similar reason given. I didn't do anything further because I had just created the account and had nothing associated with it.
I’m gonna take a wild guess, based on my knowledge from about 10 years ago, that your best bet is going to be prepaid providers. Dunno what they’re doing nowadays, but I used to use a Tracfone Wireless phone, which cost $20–30 at Walmart for the hardware, and iirc about $60 per 120-minute card—although there were frequent promotions, so I acquired coupon codes for my family when I was in high school to help save money. The unfortunate thing was that it cost 0.3 minutes per SMS. Also the deal is that you have to buy minutes every so often to extend your service period. Anyway, if they’re still doing a “basic hardware” type option then that could be something to look into.
I'm sympathetic to the example and idea, I guess I feel like it ... depends on the situation.

Let's say you're running a coffee shop. One of your servers posts a lot of racist stuff about minorities on twitter and it comes to light.

You want your shop to feel welcoming to all customers, keeping that person on is clearly untenable, potentially even a risk for the business to survive.

Granted the article at the end does take a more measured approach compared to the title that seems a bit absolute.
I don't have an answer (yet), but I am tracking on KaiOS[1] for a future replacement. Once there is some decent and accessible hardware behind it, I feel it may be my next 'upgrade'. There's the Nokia 8110[2] but it's not available to me yet.

> There’s another issue here, too. Why do employers not stand up for an employee in the face of mob pressure? My own theory is that it comes down to “corporate branding” and the way in which an individual’s “personal brand” is thought to mesh with the employer’s “corporate brand.”

This is the key point in the article IMO. Companies could shrug off these online mobs with a simple "none of our business" (and they have done so plenty in the past). Nowadays, however, every company is working its way into completely unrelated social causes simply for marketing, and employees must bear that burden whether they like it or not.
Glad to see Quillette come out against free speech.
That's not how economics or the banking system actually work. The Federal Reserve can issue effectively unlimited credit to solvent banks in case of runs. The government has no way to directly "increase inflation". Generally when bank runs occur it's because the bank has a lot of bad loans; when loans go bad it effectively removes money from circulation thus decreasing monetary inflation.

There is no single central "financial system". Individual financial institutions get hacked all the time. It's not a major problem.

Ultimately the US dollar (and other fiat currencies) are backed by something: a government with an effective monopoly on violence over a particular territory including all the people and assets therein. In the real world that's a lot more powerful than any cryptocurrency fantasies.
Adblock Plus is not Adblock's independently acting "friendly rival". Adblock was sold to a "mystery buyer" in 2015[0]. The first thing that buyer did was turn on "acceptable ads". Come on. It's the same people.

I call "Adblock" "Adblock Plus" to avoid ambiguity with ad blockers in general.

I'm not making value judgments, I'm explaining why saying Adblock and Adblock Plus "is just a way for advertisers to decide what ads users see and don’t see, depending on how much they’re willing to pay and be held hostage to such extensions" is completely accurate and not "misleading". The site you linked that explains their policy is corporate propaganda.

There's no point in even acknowledging their "technical explanation". It's a <10 line change that calls String.prototype.replace() on instances of "taboola" in the whitelist before enabling it.

There are no "satisfied customers" of Adblock Plus. There are only people who heard about Adblock/Adblock Plus in the news or mentioned somewhere else or because it's the first google search result (the first mention of uBlock Origin for "block ads" is on page 11 and it's an unrelated reddit thread in the uBlock Origin subreddit) and don't know about these practices. If you showed them a screenshot of Taboola ads they would not think those are acceptable. That's is why everyone here recommends uBlock Origin.

>Not surprisingly, c# has succeeded where Java has failed in being cross platform, used for instance in game development with the unity engine

C# succeeded in game development? That's its claim to fame? Being an optional scripting language used by Unity? The real work is done by the graphics engine that's written in C++.

>or multi platform mobile development via xamarin

Last time I checked the percentage of apps on the App Store and Google Play that were written with Xamarin tools were so low that they barely even registered.
I love the deprecation bc I think we sw engineer’s deserve it to a degree.

But I will also say that various software shops I know of large and small are always desperate to find good talent. I’ve hired quite a bit myself and finding capable talent is very difficult. So our work is not as totally deprecatable as you make it out to be.
I'm not saying all web software is simple and all web devs suck. The fact is that most web apps are CRUD, and not well designed or 'beautiful' and written by devs that really don't care about SWE or broadening their skill set - just collecting a pay check - and that's fine. The ecosystem of operating system, compilers, distributed systems, embedded etc is a bit more rigorous because the bar to entry is higher.
On the one hand people have a right to free speech, on the other hand, they should not leverage their jobs or positions when making controversial comments so as to associate their employer with those words.

Of course, this position is frustrated by there not being a clear cut distinction between work persona and private persona.

Ideally, with a platform like Twitter, you'd have two personas, one tied to your employer or professional life, one tied to your private persona... For example, Rosanne or the people in the article.
You need not buy a new phone. Some of the Samsung phones of the 2005-2006 era were my favorite, in terms of speed and menu design. They can be found on Ebay for <$10
To support your point, data gathered from the Firefox user population a few years ago showed that, IIRC, the median number of tabs was somewhere around 2. And a lot (I don't remember the proportion but it was unexpectedly large) of browser sessions lasted a couple minutes. As if lots of people opened links from outside the browser, read it, and closed the browser shortly after.
Unfortunately, in-group preference is like a primal instinct. People will pretty much always (sub)consciously treat you differently if you are different. This is why I prefer not to work for companies where everyone is "like family". They tout a "strong company culture" but, to me, it sounds more like "if you aren't one of us, we'll find a way to fire you".
Such laws just can't be made to work.

Laws can't fight reality.
How specifically would you use a blockchain as a source of truth and proof for media, and how exactly would that be superior to digital signatures applied using tamper-resistant hardward embedded in recording devices?
The article links to another article (http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/21914/the-air-force-can...) that explains the difficulty with putting the F-117 or B-2 in museums. Not only does the toxic radar-absorbent paint need to be removed, but also all the secret internal components. Plus parts of the airframe need to be modified to avoid revealing classified features, including the complex radar-evading structure underneath its smooth skin.
No apps and features designed to suck your time up with. You still get notifications for the stuff you want, but there's no web browser, and far fewer distractions in general.

Although I don't know if it really fits the bill. You still need to pay for data access, it is far more expensive, and no private calls without some bluetooth headphones.
I think you and the commenter share some misunderstanding. Could you distinguish what you mean by developing Servo into a product vs. “incorporating pieces”?

Are you saying that Mozilla eventually replacing Gecko’s style system, DOM, compositor, and networking system with Servo’s (as the article I linked describes) is just incorporating “pieces” of Servo?

The product that Mozilla is developing Servo into is Firefox. I don’t know what you expect—for Mozilla to replace Gecko with Servo all at once? For Mozilla to do the same thing they are doing now but just give it a new name?
Is a todo app really a good way to compare any kind of language or framework?

I work with several large apps, some in Vue and some in React. After the learning curve, they are more or less the same. They solve the same problem, more often than not in the same way (or rather using the same concepts). I don't think either is better or worse, or introduces significantly more or less code.

The one big different I have taken away from my experiences with both is React is more approachable for "developer" types, who are big on unit tests and design patterns. Vue is more approachable for people coming from a design background, partly because of its (not so much once you understand how it works) "magic" two way binding and single file components (which let you write <script> <template> and <style> inside a single file, which is way designers are used to).

If I know the app will have more designers, or less experienced developers, I think Vue is a good choice. If it will be built mostly by more developer types, React seems like a good choice. Once you know one, though, it's very easy to pick the other one up.
A CEO is a special position that includes being a spokesman for a company. It's a tough job, but it's accordingly usually very well compensated.

You don't do your argument any favors by acting as if there's not this qualitative difference between the head spokesman of a company and just any other employee.
>The other thing is that bitcoin actually solves a need in the world - the ability to transfer wealth from one person to another anywhere in the world without intermediaries.

See, the only people for whom this is an actual “need” are crazy libertarians (questionable) and criminals (absolutely). Nobody else in the world considers this an unmet need.

What good is a solution in search of a problem?
All that is covered under "make the process fair", but enforcing quotas based on random unchangeable physical characteristic is the opposite of fair.
I have a friend who got a really tiny (like, fits in your wallet tiny) cell phone from China. Worked fine when he put the SIM card in, and the audio quality was really solid.
This mostly comes down to employment being too important and an unbalanced relationship between the employee and the employer. If the relationship was more balanced, "you said something questionable on Twitter" just wouldn't really be that compelling.
I think you misunderstand what a browser engine is, then—read the Wikipedia article I linked and tell me how the “stand-alone product” that Servo is going to be is not Firefox itself. Massive parts of Gecko have already been simply deleted from the codebase and replaced with components from Servo.

“Firefox” is not a browser engine, it is a browser UI. Gecko and Servo are browser engines.
My mother used to say that she was part, despite us being able to trace our entire tree back to Western Europe.

I always figured it was a popular fad to claim in the 70's.
Do you have a reference? Not doubting it, but I’m curious to know if this is true.
I'm not so sure. If an employer wants to disassociate from Islam and fires all muslims, why do we cover that under religious discrimination?

Why not stop discrimination over all ideologies? Maybe somebody will start a religion for Nazism.
Motivation!

We started with a goal, in our case it was to recreate the car from the `gti` command (git wrapper). I created a file with maybe a dozen lines of 72 spaces, and let them get to work. They started with basic hjkl navigation and the i command, then they learned to replace with r and jump to specific location with /. After that I was simply answering their questions, as they already understood that everything has a shortcut.
It's amazing how far away I am from being able to figure this out :)
Yes, but that word is a sequence of actions in muscle memory, so you can't really think of it as being the same as an "action" in the sense of clicking on a unit or issuing a build command. It's like the difference between streaming I/O and synchronous I/O.
Believe me, I don't doubt there's a skill to doing this stuff; I've dedicated a big part of my career to finding and assessing that skill. But there's skill and aptitude to all sorts of things, from legal work to baking. We don't often talk about how there are lots of men or women bakers due to the distribution of intelligence.
Timing with the social outrage would present some difficulties. Also presumably this stuff crosses someone's desk and they email someone else and there starts the paper trail for the worker's lawyers.
I don’t buy the hype of the blockchain as much as the average hacker news user, but this article lacks anything but anecdotal data.

A bubble needs two things:

1. Misallocated hype

2. Real money

As far as I can tell no one has done much digging on how much money blockchain ventures represent in terms of real world investment dollars. Can you call something a bubble if there isn’t much “real” money in it?

If all the blockchain related companies died tomorrow how many people would be out of a job, and how much money would be “lost”?

As far as I can tell most investors, even the ones bullish on the future of blockchain, are suspicious of new blockchain ventures.

This isn’t how bubbles work, unless I am massively misinformed about the amount of money in this area.
They can stabilize and then hold back.

I would ask around as to which hospital has a good record. Did that once, and it mattered. May have lost the person in need at the time had I not.
