Ditto, in my case the site was like this, wasn't itself a non-profit organization, but said proceeds from it would go to the specified NPOs... but that never actually happened as far as I know.
Thanks, maybe something has changed since I tried it. I'll have another look.
We have used it to set up a small ML project. We decided to move away from it and to go back to Jupyter. We have found that file I/O is proprietary to Colab (e.g., the Google Drive interface). We had to rewrite that part of the notebook when going back to Jupyter.

Our main reason for moving away from it was the fact that it is difficult to run long jobs on Colab. It was good to start working on the project, but any real ML task took too long to finish, if at all.

I see it as a teaching tool for people who do not have admin access to install a full python environment or that are interested in trying out basic things before investing time and effort in setting up Jupyter.
The same way the IRS audits donations and non-profits in general?

How is this any different from a person directly donating $X dollars other than the ability to sit and wait and think about it? Do I get to see what a private citizen donates to directly unless that organization that receives the money discloses who donated how much?

Ciao Detaro, thank you for your comment. Could you please point out the incosistencies you have found? I would be happy to fix that, yes I am not a native english speaker sadly :(
But I think the only “usage” you can have is to choose where to donate it - and you can’t just donate it to your family or business associates , it has to be a registered charity subject to the usual rules.
Yeah I don't see the controversy here. Clearly the author has an agenda. Look at this gem:

"...[Mr. Woodman] was giving away much of that wealth — some $500 million worth of GoPro stock — to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation...Mr. Woodman avoided paying capital gains taxes on that $500 million worth of stock, a figure that most likely would have been in the tens of millions of dollars..."

Of course he avoided capital gains on the stock he gave away - he couldn't sell it anymore because it was no longer his. The entire section about Nick Woodman strives to imply that something improper has occurred, but all I see is a successful entrepreneur that gave away a large part of his fortune. Regardless of how long it takes for that money to be distributed by the charitable fund, the money is forever no longer his.
Good point. I was thinking just of 084s, but you're right that SCP is very unlike SHIELD. Your comparisons are much better.

I have the exact same question as you.
I'm reading the sequel now (Homo Deus) and I agree that so far I'm disappointed in his output. It starts by arguing that humanity has essentially conquered famine, disease and war. The first two are arguable but they are technical issues that can be overcome with technology. War isn't. It goes downhill from there.

Still he has a way with words and it's an enjoyable read so far even if large parts are academic humanities nonsense.
> I'm chronically ashamed by the degree of tolerance to shoddy work in our field.

The vast majority of people in every field are producing average or shoddy work. Just the way it goes.

Most people (myself included) have other things to focus on– family, health, finances, hobbies. I’d much rather screw something up at work than something that really matters to me.
Academics created a periodic table of mind-blowing tech
The middle class + upper classes have expanded, not shrank. [1][2]

That means there should be more potential buyers, not fewer.

The premise of a shrinking middle class isn't strictly a myth, however it ignores the fact that what is actually happening is that the middle class is moving up faster than the bottom economic tier is expanding. That process is contracting the middle class - it's not contracting due to eg increased poverty, as poverty in the US has gone down over time. The sole reason there has been any net expansion in the bottom economic tier, is due to extreme low skill / low wage labor importation since the late 1970s.

Nope, this still does not say what it does and what to use it for. "Network"
is a term used on several different levels of abstraction.

Well, you should probably invest even more effort in your README. What

where would I want to use it and what for (you only use ambiguous terms with
no concrete context, or at least ambiguous to somebody who does not wire

I’m not sure there’s a real reason. Wikipedia says it’s based on pump.io, so maybe it grew out of a prototype?

It seems like a good place to start as any. Putting it on top of TCP seems like an optimisation, that can always come later if necessary.
I just got out my Kindle Keyboard (Kindle 3) and tried it out... the 3G still works! It's a bit slow, but you can launch the browser from the Experimental window, choose the Wikipedia bookmark, and it still loads. I was able to search for the entry for the above referenced book and read it.

(That said, it's probably the first time I've used my Kindle Keyboard in months. I mostly use my phone or Samsung tablet for reading Kindle now.)
Your `.ipynb` files can always be exported and is in the open source format, so yes it's completely lossless in terms of the data format.

But also python notebooks make assumptions about the jupyter environment they're run in, so you might have to tweak the ipynb if your environment is substantially different from what the colab machines use. E.g data source for your models.

If you could elaborate on what is wrong with it, that would be helpful, compared to just dismissing it.
I still don't quite see how it's an issue. The money can't not go to a charity, it's just a question of when.

Why is the time lag such a cause for concern? Say I donate money towards an effort that takes 10 years to get tangible results, so what?

If there's some shady behavior later to try to illegally claw back charity donations, then sure, that's messed up. But just delaying it N years? So? It still goes to charity at the end.

By the same logic, do people get super upset when someone doesn't donate to charity during their life and instead just donated the vast majority of their estate on death? It has nearly the same effect.

Maybe people do get upset about that, I dunno.
That's a little unfair, insomuch as one of the main premises of the SCPverse is that the monsters and phenomena they're fighting really are bad enough to justify that level of cynicism and paranoia.

I hear you, but startups are extremely risky ventures. So risky that many don't even try. And if you have a family, it gets even harder.

VCs reduce the personal risk (at the cost to the personal upside). I suspect this compromise is helpful to very many.

Moreover, VC terms are far better than they were 20 years ago. It is not at all hard to get funding with 1x liquidation vanilla terms, something that used to be quite challenging.

It's amazing the project has gotten this far. I honestly thought this post was going to be announcing the end of Tox.

The project started with a ton of momentum but never really got picked up in the mainstream. Iirc the founder and most of the core code came from one guy.

Not to mention there has been a ton of internal drama: iirc one of the devs stole a bunch of tox donation money to pay off part of his tuition. Then there was a split in the devs and one of the devs stole all the credentials for the website and they switched? Then there was the accusations that some of the devs where child molesters and where doxed.

They also his a brick wall at one point on mobile due to the protocol being very heavy on battery usage so for a while it was only realistic to use on the desktop.

I wish the project nothing but the best and hope they succeed, but I feel like they have reached a point where they have lost interest. I hope I'm wrong.
But the original definition was arbitrary. Yes, it was chosen to be a "nice, round" measurement of something (distance from equator to pole), but it doesn't really matter; what matters is having a consistent unit of measure. Once it was chosen, it didn't make sense to change the physical length it referred to, because that would have caused inconsistencies between old and new measurements. Instead, new definitions allow the same unit of measure to be defined more precisely, thereby allowing greater consistency between results where extreme precision is required.

My point about the speed of light was that if we were coming up with a unit of measure now, we would not arbitrarily base it on the distance from the equator to the pole, which is by nature imprecise, but rather on the speed of light, since that is the most fundamental and precise reference we have. And if we were basing it on the speed of light, we would pick a round number, because there is one available that results in a meter of useful length. (By chance, very close to the actual meter.)

From chaper 3 of Marketing That Works: How Entrepreneurial Marketing Can Add Sustainable Value to Any Sized Company by Lodish et al. (Upper Saddle River, New Jersey: Pearson Education, 2007)

Many colleges and some upper socioeconomic high schools also bought the MINIVAC as an educational aid. However, no one in the third segment, the corporate sector, bought the product. The entrepreneur interviewed some target customers to try to find the problem. He found out very quickly. The typical description of the MINIVAC by the corporate types was: "Oh, that—it's just a toy!"

The entrepreneur was creative and he listened carefully. He also understood marketing. His next product was the same basic kit—with the switches upgraded to higher tolerances and the machine color changed from blue and red to gunmetal gray. The name was changed to the MINIVAC 6010 and he increased the price from $79.95 to $479. The MINIVAC 6010 sold very well to the corporate segment at $479.
> […] rising political tensions between the self-ruled island and Beijin […] mean that the scheme is unlikely to come to fruition any time soon. However, some researchers said it was possible that Beijing would start work on the project in a unilateral, and largely symbolic move.

Sometimes I wonder if we're nearing a time when we'll see China simply do a Crimea and annex Taiwan when geopolitical circumstances mean no outside interference is likely to occur — outside of the vehement disagreements and strong protests of course, but no military action; nor anything more than token sanctions.

But at least the Crimeans got a new bridge out of it…

6. Meditation
7. Buddhism ...

Present Indian education system is really in bad condition.
But ancient Indian education system is one of it's kind.

Where student should stay with his guru(master), and would have a very close relation with the guru. Each student used to meet the teacher separately and learn from him through separate instruction and guidance.

Education is free, and guru used to look after well-being of student's, including shelter and clothing.
There would be no discrimination between the king's child and that of a poorest child.
All were treated equally and should do as described by master.

Students were supposed to memorize all the scriptures, where they wouldn't understand a thing about it, and once everybody have memorized them, guru's used to explain them.

This is also another good article about ancient Indian education system. https://ithihas.wordpress.com/2013/08/28/ancient-indian-educ...

I don't really understand the criticism here. The NYT is acting like they are evading taxes, but as far as I can tell, they can't use this money on themselves personally. So, maybe it's just sitting in the DAF accumulating interest, and I guess that's not productive...but it doesn't really seem like tax evasion?

Unless i'm missing something, they still eventually have to spend it on charity, right? So, whether they do that today or twenty years from now after accumulating interest seems kind of irrelevant to me. It'd be one thing if the NYT had done some reporting that showed these guys were exploiting some loophole to spend the money on themselves without paying taxes. That'd be a big story, and worthy of criticism. But as it is, I don't really see it. Am I missing something here? Anyone who disagrees care to tell me why i'm wrong?

While inheritance is OK, and useful in programming-by-difference scenarios, Objective-C style polymorphism has always de-emphasized inheritance.

Dynamic dispatch is central to both the most productive and largest-scale software systems/environments in the world. If you think the compiler can tell you everything, you're in for a world of hurt, and if you think you can statically type-check the world: good luck.

Again, inheritance is useful, though overused in static languages that only allow polymorphism together with inheritance.

It's not a cause for concern. It just makes for nice clickbait headlines, and stories full of innuendo with zero proof of actual wrongdoing.
