Why would that be true when the US has actively propped up bad regimes again and again for realpolitik reasons?
It all relies on trusted computing.

If the vote is not bijective (no crypto receipt) the possibility also vanishes.

Can’t you just get two Indians employed full time for cheap?
It's definitely a stunt, but I don't see it as being particularly irresponsible. Daraprim's use is quite narrow and its side effects are pretty unpleasant; nobody's going to abuse it. It's not like he's throwing handfuls of homemade Ritalin.
That's true, but I think the full name usually has, just as the full names of Beijing Shanghai Tianjin etc contain 市 even though the short names doesn't.

And the short names of England, France, America, Germany, Korea, Thai, and China itself contain 国. This seems to suggest that there was a naming convention initially being followed.

Better examples than country names for illustrating this difference between Chinese and English include disease names (mentioned above), fish names, bird names, tree names, flower names, mountain names, river names …
A long, meandering article making some sort of argument about consciousness and thought, seemingly without defining either (I stopped reading halfway through) when when it really hinges on what exactly these things are.
> liberal educations are now viewed as tools of oppression rather then as the minimum expectation for a well-informed citizen.

I often hear people say that a college education is about opening the mind, being able to think critically, being able to challenge one's own beliefs, etc. But then I often find the people make those claims not even able to consider the possibility that many people people achieve that without a college education. We should consider that there might be a certain amount of group think and signaling involved, and that a college education might not improve one's critical thinking skills as much as is often assumed.
There are a few heavy-hitters, though. I'd expect China, for example, to have written some great literature over the years.

(Epistemic status: I don't actually know anything about Chinese literature, and I welcome correction on this point.)
Whoa how do you do strikeout?
Go read "Animal Happiness" by Vicki Hearne. Don't project your mindset into animals. They have their own mindsets, and they are not humans.

As a horse owner, I have to get this. You have to have a reasonable understanding of horse minds to deal with half-ton animals at close range. "Talking with Horses", by Henry Blake, is perhaps the best book on that.
A society whose middle class is becoming cash-starved is not going to have enough time to engage in both a technical vocation and auxiliary reading. No cash is what's getting in the way of me pursuing the humanities more even though it's my preferred mode of thought. Although being distracted all the time might also have something to do with it.

In that moment, representing the barriers to safe and effective medicine as something that one can throw from their pockets.

In the long term, bring drugs to people without thorough testing and regulations. It's one thing for e.g. stage 4 cancer. It's another to let a Vioxx get through.

Strict regulations around the development and testing of drugs exist because no human is capable of evaluating efficacy for themselves, absent stringently controlled testing processes.

We laugh about "snake oil salesmen", but given the amount of money in nutriceuticals, GNC, and the like... I'd say the only damn holding back the torrent on the unsuspecting is the FDA.
In retrospect, it was probably far too little. ICANN didn't predict the demand for gTLD registrations; it's taken them six years to work through all the applications they received when the program opened in 2012.
Unlike a dna test, a match via facial recognition would have trouble holding up in court without other significant evidence.

Facial recognition is likely to help rapidly match known photos of a suspect with security footage and imagery gathered near by to help pin down movements of a suspect prior to and after a crime, in order to focus the search for further evidence.

This is a tool to catch stupid criminals; it seems easily fooled by those who approach crime in a more systematic manner.

There should be laws that prevent using facial recognition to track the locations of people who aren’t the subject of investigation. I am sure that technology would be very desirable to advertisers, and I don’t want them to have it.
True. However, I claim Google translate is a lot of times used by non-conversant level German speakers, who don't have the right layout. I would expect Google translate to be trained somewhat adversarially. Example:

"Ich werde Bücher lesen" translates just fine. If we skip the Umlaut Google translate "forgets" the meaning of books. If we change the tense to present everything translates just fine.
It was a change that Firebase implemented that went into effect about a month ago. Check this out and the look at the "Old Export Schema" at the bottom. The export schema went from multiple events per record to one event per record, with the User Parameters repeated on each record. That bloated the exports from Firebase and increased costs. https://support.google.com/firebase/answer/7029846?hl=en
He did go to jail for that, unless I'm confused.

He brought attention to his tax evasion for other reasons... but is it difficult to acknowledge that the direct legal cause of his jail time was evasion?
No, unless you are using "manage the underclass" as a euphemism for "protect us from crime, including that committed by subsets of the underclass". Because that is what I was referring to. Nothing more, nothing less.

The only downside of creating an underclass is when they commit crimes; but managing this downside is part of the police's job.

It is really uncharitable to describe the node fork as "so toxic". People disagreed, but there's nothing wrong with that. I felt like the subsequent "merge" happened fairly quickly and with minimal drama.

Also this seems like a misuse of the term "survivorship bias". You claimed upthread that forks don't work because of network effects. The response was "some forks work". That is a direct refutation, no matter what the percentages are. Besides, you're misunderstanding the varied purposes of forks. I have several forks right now, not because I hate the original maintainers but because it was convenient to change a small thing for my own purposes. Whether or not upstream eventually agrees with me, my fork "works" perfectly well.
I think that they are these[1]. At least that is the same design; the flared-out base fills the ear and stays in better than most others I've seen. I'm not totally sure on the model; the plant my Dad worked at had huge boxes of the things everywhere, so you'd pick up a couple new pair every day. They survive going through the washing machine, so my mother accumulated coffee cans full of them that were left in pockets over the years.

What makes you think this property is specific to English?

You can speak broken French too and a person from France will still understand you.
This has become my default selection criteria nowadays when choosing a cafe or restaurant to enjoy a meal or meet friends/colleagues at. No more is it about the food or coffee/tea quality. Noise levels are a critical factor. And this is coming from someone who regularly plays loud guitar on stage (though I do that with etymotic earplugs in nowadays).

I hate the modern "stark industrial" design trend in modern eating establishments. All that concrete and bare wood just act as echo reflections and harmonic cacophony.
It's more one kind of apple to another.

They're both process nodes, with certain minor-ish differences here and there. TSMC calls theirs 7 nm, Intel calls theirs 10 nm.

Their performance characteristics might be around the same. In practice... who knows. We do know that Intel's current 10 nm CPUs are pretty much broken ~ best they could currently do was useless laptop-grade 2.5 GHz dual-core with no functional iGPU. Not sure about the HT, though.
I think it was more a case that Google had a large existing investment in CPU-based compute.

A lot of Dean's initial work was getting models effectively training on that kind of hardware using distributed SGD.
Honestly, as an employee, I don’t care. I won’t be persuaded to take a lower than market salary for the promise of equity. If the company does well and I make some money off of my equity, it’s s bonus. If not, I call my list of recruiters and have another job in 2 weeks to a month. I’m no special snowflake, good developers who keep their skill set current can easily get a job. I’m nowhere near the west coast but it’s been the case for me for 20 years.

My criteria for a job is the technology stack, the environment, and the money.

> I think every engineer or applied scientists should be expected to take a reasonable "liberal" education subset - including history, literature and law. I know that this is very much not in vogue with the latest group-think in college, but I also believe that humanities should master at least basic calculus

That can work. I believe that because you've just described MIT and Caltech.

MIT requires everyone to take at least 8 semesters of arts, social science, or humanities course per semester, which works out to on average one such course per semester over the course of their degree. This must include at least one from each of those groups. They must also pick one from a list of several available "fields of concentration" in the arts, social science, or humanities, and take 3 or 4 courses in that field of concentration.

Caltech requires 108 units of humanities or social sciences, at least 27 of which must be humanities and 27 of which must be humanities. Caltech has 3 terms per academic year, so that works out on average to 9 units a term. A Caltech unit corresponds to the number of hours a course is expected to take a week (lectures + labs + homework and reading), and 9 units is about an average course. In other words, it is similar to MIT: you are taking at least one such class a term, and it takes about as much time as your typical engineering or science class.

On the calculus front, MIT requires everyone to take single and multivariable calculus. Same at Caltech. Both also require everyone to take physics through most of what is covered in, say, the Feynman Lectures, and chemistry.
The only purpose for a tld should be like .bank and have it cost $100,000 registration fee and similar verified stuff
7 nm... 10 nm... all marketing bullshit, at the end of the day. Only way to know is compare the raw, different aspects of nodes.

It's ironic to me that some anti-control people that buck against the system don't seem to have a problem when it's them making decisions for others.

Making the drug and trying it on yourself is one thing. Sharing it with someone else who understands you and how you made it is somewhat similar. Convincing random people who don't know you to take it is crossing some sort of line, and setting up a situation where people are taking your homemade version of a non approved medication without even knowing it is just plain wrong. I know they are already taking heroin, but these are still people and not your lab rats. You shouldn't be making their decisions for them about what goes in their body.

In their do it yourself lab, what are they doing to remove stereoisomers?
Most of my irritation with customer service here in India arises out of pure and unbridled stupidity, or dishonesty, particularly with some notorious companies.

I remember a few years ago I wanted to cancel my internet connection and the agent argued that I had a bill due, which I hadn't paid because I was told I didn't need to pay until their services were restored (their fiber was damaged for several months).

Eventually I said I didn't want to cancel, but I wanted to know the status of my complaint, which I had filed a few months prior when the fiber was damaged. The agent said that there was a record of me confirming that my connectivity had been restored (an obvious lie or fabrication).

Then I said I wanted to issue a new complaint that my connection wasn't working.

At this point, almost seamlessly I was told that my area had no connectivity due to a fiber cable that was damaged a few months ago.

That is around the time when I become irate, at which point I was begrudgingly told that payment was not needed.

My impression is that most Chinese students wouldn't have a problem doing this. "Civil rights" aren't really a thing in Chinese thinking, and the "patriotic education" in China does an excellent job at convincing them that the Dalai Lama and Falun Gong are evil, and Tibet and Hong Kong and Taiwan are indisputably part of China.
The person you're talking to is German, so the answer is presumably at least two. :-)

I'm a native English speaker, and I've noticed that English writers got much better over time -- ineffable depth be damned. When I read people writing in early modern English, they tend to be... not pleasing to the reader, not near as much as recent authors. And it's not a matter of changing dialects, because I have no trouble fluently reading stuff from a few centuries ago. It just feels like progress has been made in writing techniques. How many other languages, I wonder, have had the chance to undergo this same evolution?

(I have no other languages to compare this to, so take this with many grains of salt.)
I actually worked for a startup and during its last days, they had weekly meetings telling us the status. We all knew the end was coming. After we all got laid off, we took our severance, and everyone had a job in two or three weeks.
Let this be a warning to young developers tying into browser platforms.

For all the openness of web standards, let's remember that browsers are proprietary.

If a browser vendor decide to do something (whatever it is, good or bad), there is pretty much nothing users or developers can do, we saw it with IE6 for a long time, we now see it with Google Chrome too.

AFAIK browser plugins were considered part of those web standards (see [0] and [1])

Noise is worsening everywhere. Gas stations and checkout queues have obnoxious ads. workplaces are built out of concrete warehouses, with open floorplans, so even a quiet conversation turns into a raucous. If sugar was the new smoking then noise is the new sugar.

If I were in Russ's shoes and I had told someone as politely as I could that their solution exhibits what I consider showstopper issues, I wouldn't expect to have to clarify that I find that solution entirely unacceptable and flawed from its very design. There's no issue in the clarity of communication when the term 'showstopper' is thrown around.

Russ said he was going to go and build a tool to understand the problem better. In no way does that imply that any lessons he learns from the implementation must be communicated back to the dep committee. But for the sake of argument, let's say that did happen. Then what? Does Russ practically force the dep committee to implement vgo out of the remains of dep? Why would he do that when he just spent a month or two implementing vgo from scratch? Why bother going back to a problematic group that doesn't believe their core issues are showstoppers? If that difference of perspective exists and they're not willing to debate that, to say nothing of the fact that they feel that they should be on the receiving end of the burden of proof, what more can be gained from them from Russ's perspective?
We'd probably start trading less and everyone is worse off then if we just traded freely. However that might be worth it if one party is not playing by the same rules.

I'm 41 and doing great. I 'work' for an amazing organization (work is in quotes because I do exactly what I'd do if I was retired) and have a number of extremely interesting problems on my plate.

A few caveats:

1.) I don't bash new frameworks (even if I know they're a bad idea) until I've built something non trivial with them.

2.) My education and experience are outside the norm for developers where I live. I have a business degree (with a marketing major) and have spent most of my life working for or founding startups.

3.) I love introducing people to each other. When you get older, you're usually much more connected than you imagine.

4.) I make fun of myself when it is deserved.

5.) I praise others when it is deserved.

6.) I stay current. Hell, I have built things with blockchains even though I didn't think it would be a good idea.

Basically, I stay current and try to be a good member of a team.

Yes. Well, since 2002 some old versions aren't, but v7 onwards is. macOS is based on XNU and NeXTSTEP, which are based on Mach and BSD, but macOS is not solely a Unix system and few use it as such. In fact, if you were to make a program using only the FLOSS unixy parts of macOS, porting it to other POSIX systems would likely be trivial. I hardly even count that as "macOS software" in the exclusivity sense.

macOS being unix-based doesn't make it less proprietary. z/OS is Unix certified and proprietary as balls.
The claim being made is that the authorities wanted him in jail one way or another, because he was a gangster. Tax evasion just happened to be the charge they could make stick.
>1928 designs are not WW2 designs.

How is this relevant? You said - quote: "WW2 military planes". That is, planes operated during the war. These Polikarpov bombers were not just operated during the war, they were highly successful in their missions. Please stay on topic here.

Again, we know that women were OK piloting fighter planes like the Spitfire, or attaining the ace status on planes like Yak-1[1] (1940 design, by the way), or flying bombers like Pe-2 (also a 40's design).

That's yet more specific counter-examples to your claim, for which you haven't yet provided any support.

Hundreds of designs[2] took part in air combat in WW2. You'd have to crunch a lot of data for your claim to have any footing (to even argue about most planes of that era, which were all wildly different).

Is this an issue of pride? Can't you simply admit being wrong about women being too weak to fight in these machines? The history is not on your side here.

> To paraphrase some Cal/UC Berkeley professor that I cannot remember, he said that the problem with scaling is that when you go up a magnitude or more, you may need a qualitatively different solution for the same problem.

You might actually be thinking of Jeff's Stanford talk from a few years ago (2011). Slide 21 of:

Ensure your design works if scale changes by 10X or 20X
but the right solution for X often not optimal for 100X

> At the pharmacy, a pair of single use Mylan epipens can cost over $600 and the company’s generic version costs $300 per pair, but an ongoing shortage means you probably can’t find them, even if you can afford them.

This was true years ago but not anymore. CVS sells a generic epipen two-pack for $109 [1]. Still not cheap, but let’s not pretend that these cost $300 and are not even available.

Yes it would! We used to have a fake TLD for our internal Network. It just works.
MSTeams still has issues: the top one being that it’s tied to Office 365 and the app won’t let you sign-in to multiple accounts. You can only join the MSTeams account associated with your Office 365 subscription - or as a limited “Guest” user of another account at their invitation - and there’s no sign this is going to change any time soon. - and of course, the user-experience for switching accounts isn’t the best either.
