I think they're acting on that message, in a different way, though.

The retail model was always space constrained. They have to take Oblivion off the shelves eventually to make room for Skyrim. That created a window where you had to buy now or you have no choice but used.

Digital shops have no such limit, so they can just keep all product on a gradual downward pricing spiral. And the buyers can just wait forever until their personal threshold is reached.

Now, the interesting side of it is what effect resale has on people's price thresholds: do buyers price the trade-in value of the game into their purchase decisions?

I could see someone saying "I'm willing to buy the $60 PlayStation disc I can trade back for $20 when done, but the corresponding PC version (with no resale option) has to be $40 to provide the same value for money" Maybe not consciously, though.
A common refrain that you will likely soon hear from Google executives and board members is that it's better to have access to a censored Google than no Google at all.

The problem is that when Google took a stance against censorship, users behind the Great Firewall or other censorship regimes knew that if they managed to reach www.google.com through VPN or other means they were getting uncensored results. Now, no one will ever know whether they are seeing the 'real' Google or not.

Google is one of the most advanced companies at geoblocking their services. You can't just hop on a VPN and access US-only Google services from, say, a French account. Google knows where you live, where you work, where you bank, who you're dating. This raises the spectre of Chinese censorship policies being applied even to queries coming from outside of the Great Firewall from accounts that have been deemed 'Chinese'.

If you think 'they would never do that', just look at how quickly US business folded in the dispute with Beijing over acknowledging Taiwan as a country. Once you have business interests in China that can be held hostage, you're all in the way.
It's an impressive achievement, but I would say the true beauty of good engineering is in being the best while also keeping costs under control. Getting 50-80% more performance isn't hard when you cost 5x as much (or more).
I agree the article was unclear on that step. My reading was that Google could respect the local laws without actively implementing them by not doing business in China.
non amp links would be nice.
Actually, that was intentional just to be funny. There are indeed many words which can sometimes be names (some months, some town names, I even know a woman who's birth name was America).

I let the user control which names are translated (and they select a name for each unique identified name) and allows the user to mark a suspected name as not a name. This is the `--interactive-naming` flag.

I added that after the first iteration and reading through an ePub on my Kobo and found tons of random proper nouns "flipped".

I had never thought about programming (or, for what comes next, application development) as a verbal skill.

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense, especially as it pertains to UI/UX. About empathy -- you need to relate to your users, understand, be aware and sensitive of their needs and their thought process as they use your application.

Thanks for the interesting view. Not sure I read it too literally, but it gave me something to think about.
Perhaps on a macro level gender issues have been covered at a surface level. However most people don't grasp how ingrained gender biases exist in everyday situations or in this case, literature. This is an interesting project to bring those more nuanced or subtle biases to light.

Honestly, they'll probably screw up something Youtube Kids style and then get blocked again, since that's what happened with their human censors several times the last time they tried running a Chinese search engine.

As far as I have seen and that I am aware, AI so far has been really bad at classifying new emergent uses of existing media (e.g., reappropriation of things for memes of a political nature or otherwise.) Are they going to be able to detect the next Winnie the Pooh-type meme lampooning Xi Jinping?

> At the risk of sounding nationalistic, I think companies in the United States and other democratic countries should reconsider any and all business relationships with authoritarian regimes like those in China and Russia.

It just sounds stupid. Looking at the situation rationally it is the US that has in just the last 20 years (a) attacked several countries and murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent people and (b) revealed it is running the most extensive surveillance network in the history of the planet that legally and illegally attempts to surveil everybody including even allied political leaders and (c) regularly threatens to nuke and completely destroy other countries.

And somehow, despite all of this, we are supposed to think China is the authoritarian regime?

I know it's hard to imagine because Americans are completely lost in their bubble but the rest of the world understands well that it is the US, not Russia and certainly not China, that is the greatest threat to the world's peace and prosperity [1]. There's a difference between a country that is focused on exports and a country that bombs weddings and targets its own citizens for assassination on foreign soil.

Google returning to China is a good thing if only because it means the power of the US' murderous regime has over the multinational.

Realistically, it is not clear that China's censorship demands are unique outside of Asia or even Europe. China will ask Google to do the same monitoring and blacklisting that the corporation already does for Thailand, Malaysia and even Germany. None of this is new or even particularly unreasonable to the millions and billions of other people on the planet who don't live in the US. Believe it or not these people actually have their own ideas about how they want the internet to work.

No, it is always logical falacy in a literal sense. The existence or the appeal of any authority is not a logical argument. If you think the authority is justified by factual, logical arguments you're meant to cut out the middle man and simply present those facts and their logical argument.

It's worth saying that no one really expects you to live life or strictly act like this. Avoiding fallacies is really just about putting forth a concrete logical agument.

Retoric (and life) can be plenty productive without logical rigor and appeals to authority have meaning and value outside of 'logic'. Ethos, logos, pathos anyone?

It's more infuriating when you realise that there's no consistency between devices. The Security Gateway is an ancient MIPS thing that can only barely keep up with 100 megabit WAN even with hardware offload, the Cloud Key is a Mediatek dongle that makes remote management slightly less painful (although Power over Ethernet is nice) and the AC access points are some Qualcomm SoC that's sure to be abandoned as soon as the next shiny thing comes along.

Oh, and that $400 AP is slower than the Turris Omnia that it was replacing - and that was doing 4x gigabit switching at the same time.

The biggest problem I have right now with this is "her". The 3rd person possessive and objective cases are identical for female ("her"), but different for male ("him" / "his").

So these 2 sentences flip "her" differently:

It was created by her very own child

First flight of an electric aircraft in Finland
What you described is exactly how I've been feeling for last 3-4 years. The pain signal kicks in the next day, sometimes even a day after. So yeah you can't tell at the time you're working late how the eyes will feel the next days. Sometimes it also triggers a headache and that spoils the whole day.

So the only solution I have figured is to be regimented about my screen time. I love working late at night and now have to tell myself to turn the work off. That kinda sucks.

Btw, It happened both with my previous laptop with LCD screens and the current LED screen.

For a few months I got hooked to Mobile gaming, and that just multiplied the problem! So I drastically cut down on my mobile time and that helps. My mobile had an LCD screen btw; so LED or LCD doesn't seem to be a factor for this particular problem.
Well, ripe bananas are too sweet for some people. Bananas that are just starting to ripen are very good (especially because they taste a bit sour with a tiny bit of sugar), better than fully ripened bananas.
I definitely agree with bush planes being pragmatic vehicles of utility, and are generally stripped down pretty bare. But I've heard more than one bush pilot refer to his plane as the SUV of the bush, generally these were larger planes like Beavers or a 206 though. Seeing a full size fridge placed sideways in Beaver (with the doors removed and the ends sticking out either side) and you'll see why that say that!

Reminds me of that famous story:

...the Eskimos have a word,
kunlangeta, which means "his mind knows
what to do but he does not do it." This is
an abstract term for the breaking of many
rules when awareness of the rules is not in
question. It might be applied to a man
who, for example, repeatedly lies and
cheats and steals things and does not go
hunting and, when the other men are out of
the village, takes sexual advantage of
many women-someone who does not pay
attention to reprimands and who is always
being brought to the elders for punishment.
One Eskimo among the 499 was called
kunlangeta. When asked what would have
happened to such a person traditionally, an
Eskimo said that probably "somebody
would have pushed him off the ice when
nobody else was looking."
...
It is of considerable interest that kunlan-
geta and arankan are not behaviors that
the shamans and healers are believed to be
able to cure or change.
The only way to thrive is to invest in the entertainment industry. Local theaters, strip clubs, bars and dance clubs will always be needed by well off people where not so well off people can perform and make money.

Hell a blowjob in Netherlands costs 50 euros.

I know here 20 people who never kept a job still they live better than 90% of people who have a job. How? They seduce people in power like professors, executives and VPs who pay all their bills.

Can really a person die starving when the biggest industry ( read: sex) is not served well?

I don't see sex industry being automated any sooner, that's where the money is. No robot can be built who can provide the same sensory pleasure and creative discourse like a human.

There is no way to order a blowjob directly to your home unlike other stuff like electronics which are available through Amazon.

I would love to order belly dance session from home at hourly cost through an app where the app acts as an escrow. Currently, this is not possible.

Performing in front of a person should be cheaper than performing in front of a large audience for a rooky performer. But this isn't possible for now.

People have every right to stay dillusional about what market needs. They are only fooling themselves.

This article is pretty much wall-to-wall snake oil. The bit at the end is just completely false. Some people, who hadn't really bothered to do the math at the time, believed fifty years ago that spring-closed valves would float at high speeds and desmodromic valves were the solution. But that isn't true: metallurgy marches on, and nobody has been seriously impeded in making an engine turn at any desired speed with valve springs. Motorcycle engines turn at stupefying speeds without experiencing valve float. In practice it's actually the desmodromic designs that are troublesome, because of all that moving mass.

Anyway, there are lots of other dumb claims in here, like nobody has ever done variable timing of exhaust valves, which is obviously not true.
in my experience there is a small scale use for it. (buying small incidental items, or online gambling).

On the large scale, its just a massive financial mutual masturbation scene.

too small a number of very large market holders throwing their weight around to buy/sell within the same market.
As someone who does this kind of work, the timeline is absolutely insane. The aircraft started out as a PZL-104MA Wilga 2000 but he redid part of the wing, built an entire carbon fiber cowling and redid the wiring, all on top of the engine install, though that and the carbon fiber he had fairly extensive previous experience with. One thing you'll notice if you watch the build videos is he makes extensive use of very complex CNC machining for the wing tip extensions and some other odds and ends. I would be very interested to know how much risk management went into the design though, as on the surface DRACO and Turbulence (his other PT-6 project) seem to have a lot eyeball engineering going on as neither airframe was ever designed to handle the flight loads that the engines put on them. There's only so much you can see in YouTube videos though so I'll give him the benefit of a doubt.
The expression of facts is copyrightable, not the facts though. So importing it is water tight.

This basically says "the model is anything at all".

No, no, no! It says the model is powerful enough to compute any computable function. This is where the optimality of universal measures comes from.

From the first example in the first link, I see the probability in that case is conditional on the binomial model correctly describing the phenomenon (equation 8).

Equation 8 is presenting the binomial model as an example that is different from the universal machine model.
> I’m privately amazed that the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights is now a subject of controversy.

I'm not amazed. It tells us "thou shalt steal from the rich to give this specific set of goods to every poor person in thy nation". That's not a human right, that's a declaration of (among other things) the principle that wealth is zero-sum. (Which it fundamentally isn't.)
And most true in aviation. With enough funds you can buy some very magical things. But it isnt a bush plane if it cannot be fixed in the bush. Things like turbines and carbon fiber dont lend themselves to repair in an actual field.

Trust Me I'm Lying: A Summary and Review
I would argue that the Piper Cub, and subsequently the Super Cub, were the predecessors of modern bush planes.
I don't think you really get how Chinese businesses operate. Tech businesses, as long as they are Chinese, operate under an assumption of semi-impunity as long as they don't cross political boundaries. So healthcare fraud is in bounds, and if they get caught, they'll just get a slap on the wrist. Its not like the government condones the fraud, more like they don't care as long as it doesn't result in social instability.

Real estate firms and other industries like taxi groups are more likely to be directly controlled by princelings, so those are something else altogether. The government has a direct channel into these industries, because they are basically like a state-controlled mafia.
Well this quote from the original article struck me as odd:

> Nobody's ever done variable valve timing on the exhausts, so the benefits are less well understood.

BMW's been doing this for twenty years. Honda's been at it for over thirty years. On. The. Exhaust. Valves.

lol

Changing a cam (or cams) in most engines isn't all that difficult. Even without a camshaft you'll still be heavily limited by the shape and size of the combustion chamber and the geometry of the valves. You simply won't be neutering the engine that much.
How so? Roadside emissions testing is very much a thing, as are annual emissions checks.

Folks, thanks for bringing it up. I am running too. These 22 minutes every other day have helped me to stay cheerful for the last 3 years. Rarely, my knees give me a hard time, but aching knees are fine in comparison to being toxic to myself and to people I love due to overload. So if you feel like you've had it, just try to run; literally.
I tend to agree. Books and writing have never been less expensive or more accessible. There are literally thousands of very inexpensive self published books available on Kindle and other platforms with quality ranging from excellent to absolute trash.

Carbon:

One of the most popular high performance light bush planes at the moment:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherpa_Aircraft_Sherpa

So these aren't bush planes?

Edit: further, there's nothing inherent to carbon or turbines that make them unsuitable for the backcountry. Turbines are generally more reliable and have fewer moving parts. There's nothing on them that you can't fix with bailing wire that you can on a piston engine. The Wilga is overwhelmingly aluminum monocoque but if you need to fix the cowling (the main carbon part) some speed tape will do as it's not really load bearing. The cessna I took my checkride in was probably missing half it's cowling bolts :/
One thing that really concerns me about Google operating in China and fully complying with their laws is what the effect will be on residents and citizens of Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan which are under a different legal system from the mainland but which the mainland claims authority over. Will our access to Google eventually be censored and will our data start flowing across the border to the central government?
