>when they say "given the simplicity of the method"

I think they meant the implementation, in the end, is not complicated: there are a few variables that get updated according to some formulas, and that's it; there's no branching, no need for fancy data structures, etc.

The method itself is not simple - neither deriving it nor fine-tuning is intuitive, as can be said about other variations on the theme of gradient descent.

The theme is simple: to reach a bottom of a hill, go in the steepest downhill direction[1]. Making it work - and making it work fast - requires modifications to this idea, which require quite a bit of work.

Ah, so they just failed to install correctly? They're meant to be supported fine. What a pain. Do you know where it went wrong?
This is true, but it's amplified by the ugliness that you yourself don't realize is being pushed by malicious actors. Hateful, untruthful memes, conspiracy theories, Reddit comments, Twitter posts, and more are being constantly generated by entire buildings full of people who barely know what role they are playing in providing fodder for Infowars, Fox News, and the rabid extremists looking for hateful storylines to retweet, share, and like. All of that filters down to regular innocent people and distorts what seems like normal, what seems fringe, and destroys trust in everything a person sees or reads online. Sure, a lot of this is just people at their worst, and Americans being themselves, but your reluctance to admit that it's partially fueled by organized forces that don't have any particular mission beyond sowing discord and chaos is part of the problem here.
but there is - that's what the right to free speech is. As the old saying goes, popular speech doesn't need to be protected. Being "an asshole" is not an objective measure, so you need to draw a line in the sand between legal and illegal speech. Free speech is the line that says "you can say anything" except for a few specific cases that are liable to put people in direct fear for their lives/wellbeing.
They are also a privacy grab, bypassing HIPAA laws for "voluntary" opt-in programs. One of the tipping point for the West Virginia teachers strike was a requirement to wear Fitbits and logging activity to avoid insurance premium penalties.

"But the one issue that has distressed many teachers, he said, is the Go365, an addition to the PEIA’s health program.

Beginning July 1, participation will be a requirement as it stands now to avoid paying more for insurance, according to the West Virginia Education Association (WVEA).

Go365 requires participants to earn a certain level of points in the program by May 15 of each year in order to avoid penalties for the following year, including an additional $500 deductible and a $25 a month premium increase.

Those points are earned by doing things like using a Fitbit (a device worn like a watch that measures items like the number of steps taken each day) and logging activities online.

Evans said a person’s waist circumference measurement is also required. “This is invasive,” he added."

That doesn't even scratch the surface of Upwork issues though. Has anyone recently seen how much clients are willing to pay for work? I'm seeing avg pays of about 9-10$ an hour for mid-complexity jobs. Even see some clients willing to pay 600$ for fully functional IOS, Android and Web App iterations of an App.
That's true, but it's a different thing. Blocking a site on ISP level prevents users from viewing the site as opposed to blocking creators from presenting the site. It's a subtle but important difference.

Also, according to Wikipedia over a few days the site had its domain registration revoked by several providers, its Youtube channel, Discord, and Twitter accounts were banned, its links were censored on Facebook, and it was DDOSed by Anonymous.[1] If you look at the Wikipedia link it's actually nuts how much effort was put into silencing the site.

> Silicon Valley Electric was 8c when I lived there, 10c now.

If you mean Silicon Valley Power, the municipal electric utility for Santa Clara, it's now (as of Jan 2017) 11.82c [1] for residential non-TOU for the upper tier.

It's also only for the city of Santa Clara. Palo Alto has a municipal utility, but its rates are higher, and these are exceptions. AFAIK, the vast majority of California is served by a private utility (e.g. PG&E).

I'm not sure people know what is valuable... and I'm not sure they're very good at communicating it.

I've been working on a career pivot into web development. There are tons of people sharing / talking on the internet. Most of them are pretty bad at it IMO (I admit that would be too if I was doing that).

So much of it is "so we're going to do the thing" clicking "ok I wrote the code and there it is".

I think being a good teacher / sharer is a very specific skill that not a lot of people have.

I'll say that the internet is kinda unwelcoming plays a part. I did share some in my past career. Posted on reddit. I was bombarded by folks who really just don't know arguing with me / talking up a storm one too many times and gave up.

You are clearly having localized trouble.

The 2013MBP has ---no trouble-- running High Sierra or the Mojave beta.

Sheesh, with even a cursory google search you can get High Sierra running without issue on a 2009MBP.
It’s kind of amusing the Prometheus has all this traction. When I was at Google we joked about describing borgmon in an “industry-disabling paper”. Such are the horrors of borgmon. But the whole industry has embraced Prometheus which is just borgmon!

I'm not the OP, but there are some changes to background execution limits that can have a fairly large impact on older-than-Oreo apps if you build against SDK 26:

https://developer.android.com/about/versions/oreo/background

You've been able to avoid dealing with these changes for a while now by simply building against an older SDK, but Google is in the process of restricting the ability to put any app built with an older SDK on the Play Store. I think you already can't list new apps that use an older SDK, and existing apps won't be able to update to new APKs using older SDKs starting in November.

FWIW, I understand why they made the changes here, and they are user-positive, and just abandoning Android over them seems like an incredible overreaction, but speaking as someone who has been updating an older app to deal with these changes, there are some real pain-points here if you're bringing forward an older app.
> Apple, if you do that, I am on board again.

I would't be. It doesn't matter if they build the dream "pro" machine today if they are not going to refresh the line for 10 years.
It's pretty crazy that 30 years ago in UK Economy7 [7 hours lower rate electric at night] was a big thing, you got cheaper electric at night and had a special meter to accommodate the billing needs. But I can't get that now despite being offered a device that will give instantaneous cost readings.
This is not true at all.

First of all, the HiQ case was against LinkedIn.

Second of all, the ruling held that LinkedIn COULD NOT bar HiQ from scraping the public content.

LinkedIn appealed the ruling to the 9th Circuit, which heard the case this spring but has not ruled.
RCS never made sense. It’s a shitty, over-engineered spec made by telcos, for telcos, which will have the same problems as SMS and calls have (spam, etc) except instead of plain-text spam you’ll now get “rich” HTML-like spam with all the security risks it entails.

Same flaw as the other ideas - mining is very capital intensive. You can use mining in a demand response capacity, but it's best used when you can run it 98% of the time and shut down during the most expensive 2%. If you look at some of the data from Australia, peak cost per MW can go really high.

It's also an environmental travesty, but that's already the case.
Monolithic 3D is also sometimes called "sequential 3D". In essence, instead of current 3D integration which fabricates several 2D chips, then thins them, adds TSVs, aligns and then finally bonds them, Monolithic 3D makes 3D chips layer by layer.

The advantages are that it can have extremely dense chip to chip connections, as much as ~10,000X as dense as TSVs (literally) and no ESD diode capacitance (can be as much as ~50fF!!).

The disadvantages are that copper interconnects melt above ~400 degrees celsius, and we are around ~1200 degrees celsius to make transistors. There are a few ways around this but they usually result in crummier transistors.
This attitude is utterly baffling to me.

You are actually happy that Google only provided support because someone got media attention after ranting about it on a blog. Had this guy never been able to post and get traction, this would still be a problem today.

If anyone reads this story and says "huh, I think that was great customer service by Google!" I can only hope they are my competitor and hope they move all services to Google as quickly as possible.

Where Google would have actually had good customer service? By resolving this without need exceedingly extraordinary means to enact any action whatsoever. Most will never get such attention to their case, and will be told to pound sand.

All I can say is I never want to live in your world. This reminds me of the hosting shops of yesteryear that would post "marketing videos" of their staff taking support tickets while on the road with their Sidekicks. Sorry man - that's horrible level support - if you don't have the staff and processes in place for me to call 24x7 I don't want to do business with you. Pulling to the side of the road and typing on 3G is not heroic support - it's a sign of a horribly managed company. Same exact deal here with Google.
Blaming people who didn't vote is a strange thing.

For one, it ignores any practical barriers to voting. Maybe someone was working an hourly job with no flexibility to make it to the polls that particular day.

Also, the status-quo of our political system is also in play. What about someone living outside of one of the 6 swing states and their vote wouldn't have likely made a difference. Consider New York State: a Democratic voter may skip with the knowledge that the state will absolutely go blue, and a Republican voter may feel their vote is in vain because the state will go blue anyway.

Shouldn't it be the people who cast their votes who are held accountable for the individuals they put in office? For this I leave you with George Carlin's explanation on the matter [0]

It's not about reducing them, it's time-shifting them. The big electric consumers are A/C, heating, refrigeration, hot water heating, and car battery charging. All of those are very amenable to time shifting, and this shifting can be automated.
Making an assumption here, but I assume you loathed the browser lock in because you tried using a different browser, probably Chrome. Thing is, for iOS, you have to drink the koolaid to truly see the benefit. Personally coming from Android it's so nice not being asked which app I want to open a link in all the time, I dont have to think about it. I know that sounds silly because you can choose a default, but it's too many options, I don't want to have to choose and think which option I'm going to want more often as long as it works.

Obviously, you have this idea that when black people form a gang, they are bad, but when white people form a gang, well, it’s because of the black people forcing them to form a gang.

> I feel like it mainly does that because Musk fails to set realistic expectations and then goes on tantrums whenever someone is negative about the outlook.

That's about as fair as saying there's a cabal of billionaires shorting Tesla stock and using their media companies to drive the price down every chance they get. Either way, going private eliminates the noise.
Negative energy prices are one of the signals which might drive the devlopment of grid scale storage. Very obvious arbitrage potential here. The fact that utilities themselves are complaining about this instead of investing in storage is a little dismaying.

And hardware vendors are and will be very eager to add hardware specific quirks, tons of it.

So there is no point to "abstract graphics API for any OS/CPU instruction set" then, when most of the work - and we are talking about graphics acceleration, where performance is everything - is and increasingly will be handling all of that quirks.
I like the idea of this, but it crashes for me on startup. I would definitely use a Slack client like this, but installation with `pip install` would be much better than having to install from source.
> Recidivism rates were actually higher than those who just were sent to prison with a 67% recidivism rate for halfway house residents compared to 60% for prison-only convicts.

In this comparison, the virtue of each institution has been blindly discarded in favor of highlighting the substantial failures of both. That is -- "Because both institutions have failed at achieving their intent, neither institution appears to be capable of achieving a good result."

If we were to include the virtue designated by each approach then it should be clear to see the short term & long term differences between incarceration and rehabilitation.

> And of course those rates are just within 3 years. They get much higher over time.

Albert Einstein is widely credited with saying, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.”

In response to the opinion you've stated:

> In my opinion the major problem is once a culture develops around criminality it becomes practically impossible to detach the criminality from the culture, as resisting reform becomes part of the culture.

In response to the assertion you've made:

> Prison is not seen as game over. It's just another part of the game, and prison time is worn as a badge of honor once people are out, as it shows how 'hard' they are, and gains instant respect.

And in response to the questions you've raised:

> The more important question then is where did this culture come from, how did it emerge and spread, and how could that be stopped in the future?

Reformation as an act is a change of system and not a change in culture. Reformation will lead to a favorable cultural shift if and only if the system effectively addresses the needs of the individuals within the culture.

1. Anything less than reformation is utter neglect.
2. Accompanying neglect is malnutrition.
3. Cultures don't develop with criminality as an end all be all. Cultures develop with nutrition as an end all be all.

I listed two clear counter examples to claim #2, C++ and Javascript. I'm even tempted to put C in that list, because C was already popular before Linux.

I'll admit I skipped straight to the conclusion after a few demos. How is knowing a "tries" count going to help me beyond knowing "nothing can be sorted faster than n(log(n))"? Every "try" is a retrieval and costs read time?

> What YOU mean is not described by your assertion.

I've ran a paper election for a federal race here in Canada. Anyone with the ability to form a complete sentence could understand the security of our election. We're talking 2 standard deviations below median or worse here.

The number of people that can understand the security of an electronic voting system is vanishingly small. The only security mechanisms that make the election trustable are the ones that are analogous to paper elections:

On premise ballot counts by humans with public observers and physical artifacts retained by receiving officers and other poll workers.

Come tell me how a machine with a touch screen is as understandable to someone that can't even explain how electricity works, much less hashing algorithms or compilers.

> That's not worse. That's part of the path to acceptance.

It is worse that a fair election is distrusted than it is for us to be unsure of the veracity of an election yet proceed as if it were honest despite misgivings. The subversion of truth is an anathema to our democratic process. Our social fabric depends on collective reasoning operating on shared understanding. Minds operate by cohering senses into understanding and understanding into action. Discordancy is doubt's inferior. Under stress it trades quiet, humble investigation for paroxysmal rage.

These are not the people that manufactured our paper ballots and they never were.

There is book called The Wheat Belly that has a good explanation for the evolution and genetic mutation of gluten throughout history to make it easier to mass produce - resulting in a new genetic makeup that is entirely different and very hard for our digestive systems to process. Intolerance manifests itself differently in everyone so it goes widely unrecognized in many people. You have to go over a month without any gluten to really notice a difference and it seems most people quit after two weeks of "no results." Even if you love pizza/bread and can't imagine ever giving it up, its still an interesting read to understand the science behind the theory.
I would only categorize car battery charging as very amenable to time shifting, and the various kinds of heating and cooling as slightly to moderately amenable.

With refrigeration especially, you want to keep it in a very narrow temperature band. You could design a fridge that keeps an ice reservoir worth several hours, but without that you have very little ability to time shift.
