We're not talking about hypothetical limits based on the speed of light. We're talking about actual limits based on usage. A plan with a per subscriber usage limit is not unlimited no matter what logic you apply.

I see what you're trying to say, let me say it more clearly for you. "Since Verizon only throttles during congestion it's not a per subscriber limit, it's just network management". First of all, I don't believe for a second that they only throttle during congestion and I also don't believe that the amount of congestion they experienced justifies throttling all the way to 30 kbps. They make the throttling that severe to force people to upgrade plans, not because it's necessary. But all of that is moot because they are still using per-subscriber usage to make their throttling decisions. When two people with the same plan on the same tower are throttled differently based on their usage, that's a de facto usage limit and calling it unlimited is false advertising.

I'm not saying they shouldn't be able to throttle people based on usage. They can do it all day long as long as they don't call it unlimited.

Fooling themselves is perfectly possible with controls and blind tests too..
Atomic or molecular hydrogen and oxygen aren't readily available so water is a necessity that is hard to produce on the moon. Every necessary resource that can be locally sourced decreases how hard it is to start a permanent base drastically.

I suspect you need a different measure for the vocals, as opposed “music” itself.

The sounds other than vocal part of Dr Dre’s album probably wouldn’t really stand on their own and much is quite repetitive (as noted in the study).

Led Zeppelin Immigrant Song can definitely be enjoyed without the vocals, though the vocals really make it recognizable.

Similarly, there are quite a few rock songs that have been made into pretty interesting orchestra pieces.

Would be interesting to see if there any hip hop masterpieces that have been arranged for classical music.
There's a good chunk of literature that demonstrates conpiracists have different brain structures. This is why people who believe in one conspiracy theory are more likely to also believe in other (conflicting) conspiracy theories and, on an individual level, what you're dealing with is a paranoid cognitive style [1].

The other part of this is that there seems to be a strong element of social contagion. The research here is still new but it's becoming more and more clear that social media can virally amplify paranoia within a population [2].

So there's probably a good chunk of people who might exhibit excessive paranoia (some studies put this at 10% [3] but I recall numbers as high as 30% after 9/11) but then it may be possible to technologically amplify this.

"Unlimited" is not just misleading. It is an outright lie. It is completely false and Verizon knows it is false but continues to call it that because they know it will fool some of their customers.

Although I recognize IPsec is a widely supported protocol and suitable for this use case, did the readme intend to imply OpenVPN is risky?
I wonder why they don't instead suspend the line worker something like 50 feet below the helicopter to give themselves more margin for error. I guess the current method must be reliable enough that they don't bother.
Off the top of my head, HtDP, despite being entirely presented within DrRacket, has you work through programs that you could just as well compile. Learn Python the Hard Way, as well as every other "Hard Way" book, makes a point of having you write entire programs. The Ocaml resource that was posted a week or two ago makes a point of deemphasizing the REPL.
> M3, aboard the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft, launched in 2008 by the Indian Space Research Organization, was uniquely equipped to confirm the presence of solid ice on the Moon. It collected data that not only picked up the reflective properties we'd expect from ice, but was able to directly measure the distinctive way its molecules absorb infrared light, so it can differentiate between liquid water or vapor and solid ice.

This is a big achievement by ISRO team given that they run in a fraction of budget that NASA do. Though NASA contributed to M3.
Newer more efficient hardware. Workloads finish faster.
It depends. Some VPN services will go out of their way to protect users' privacy. Because it's a moral issue for them. Or because they value their reputation. Others will sell you out, to avoid penalties and costs. And the same is true for cloud providers.
Completely agreed, however, that doesn't answer my question.

This is clearly a case where "correlation is not causation" must be considered.

Suppose that refugees love Facebook. If so, then places with refugees will have more Facebook usage. Anti-refugee violence can only occur where there are refugees. We thus would expect that Facebook usage would be higher in locations with more anti-refugee violence.

Another explanation is that old people are less likely to engage in violence and also less likely to use Facebook.

Reminds me of how Tic Tacs have "0g sugar" on the label.

You'd expect the average person to see this information and extrapolate that they are ingesting 0g of sugar whether they eat 1 or 100 Tic Tacs.

> Tic Tac® mints do contain sugar as listed in the ingredient statement. However, since the amount of sugar per serving (1 mint) is less than 0.5 grams, FDA labeling requirements permit the Nutrition Facts to state that there are 0 grams of sugar per serving.

Bizarre.
Sure, if your "proof" is measured in some arbitrary metric.

A few of questions to consider:

- Are timbre, pitch, and volume the only good metrics to measure song quality in? What about lyrics? What about themes? What about instruments? etc.

- Are variations in these three metrics necessary or sufficient for there to be quality in music?
That's not what I'm trying to say though...

Without changing the product fundamentally, they can also do things such as seek out perspectives from e.g. female professors who are less-frequently interviewed and less famous than their male colleagues yet are still authorities and entertaining guests.

In fact, that's possibly the next move for TAL in the wake of this study: asking themselves, why is our staff choosing the guests that we are and what opportunities do we have to go afield and find someone fresh?
This is absolutely not Redis rent-seeking. In fact, what the Commons Clause is designed to protect against, from my lay-reading of it, is in fact rent-seeking.

As for the rest, the Redis Labs post addresses every point you make pretty definitively. I don't think many of the people who are bothered by this business decision read that post. And if they did, and they comprehended it all, but they still think Redis decided poorly, then I think there's a different convo to have. A broader one about values.

Or... hey, maybe they're just not as cynical as me. Maybe they don't think it's plausible companies are out there right now selling their "Redis with a few bells & whistles" product. Then it stands to reason that you'd see the Commons Clause as some kind of enablement to somehow rent-seek from innocent corporations. I mean hell I'd prefer that. If that's the case then I'd probably share that person's opinion about Commons Clause.

I just don't think that's the case. I believe Redis is making this licensing change in good faith. Not because I know anything about Redis that leads me to believe they're honest people. But because a product team lazily putting together a product at AMZN or GOOG or whatever else and not even thinking to look at the Redis license sounds pretty realistic to me!

Occam's Razor would say this is not an elaborate scheme by Redis to extort Fortune 500 companies.
Well, now that we've found water, getting a sample of that water and checking it for all of those things you mentioned would be the next scientific step.
Is it silly? If I claim my pizza is the best, and I never even ran it in a competition, aren't I just lying? I could say that my internet service is the best when someone provides actual unlimited data in the same area and it's the same thing.

I.E., get out in the sun to exercise, feel better (vitamin D, plus melanin - an important part of the innate immune system) therefore exercise more and get more benefits. I can see that as a possibility.

Still, if they didn't control for the amount of exercise, it's a pretty horrible study. Surely they did.
There is only one defensible definition of "unlimited" and that is:

- Your data is given the same priority for the entire duration of the plan regardless of how much is used. Bandwidth may be decreased because of congestion, but no specific action will be taken to deprioritize it based on usage level.

Wireless ISPs may not want to sell plans like that, but that doesn't mean you can redefine the word "unlimited" to mean something different from what it plainly means. If QOS measures are specifically targeted based on whether your usage has crossed a certain threshold, that is clearly a limit.

At it's core, this is fundamentally about property rights. The owners of the Redis copyright are well within their right to license their property in any way they see fit. It's preposterous to you, but you're not the one who has spent the time creating Redis. It's preposterous to me that they wouldn't have the rights to govern their creation's use.

You could go build your own infrastructure software, of course, that is a valid path forward. But will it be of the same quality at the same (or similar) cost? Most likely not. Will someone provide an alternative to Redis out of disdain for this? Probably. But it will take years, if not longer, to reach feature, stability, and therefore market parity.

And in the interim, cloud providers will pay or have to front the costs to build their own. And that's what this is all about: internalizing the externality of providers getting a free ride.
Maybe it's a stupid suggestion, but have you tried using Shazam on it?
Space exploration works best when all countries work together... I think there were a number of instruments from ESA, JPL and others.
Perhaps? If you’re using a VPN to protect your internet traffic from being sold to ad companies, probably. The VPN industry has become a racket full of affiliate schemes that push people towards plans and services that don’t necessarily act in the user’s best interest. Figuring out the food from the bad can be difficult. And I’ve seen some services that when audited use outdated or insecure stacks.

Of course, if you’re using a VPN to try to protect your browsing activity from authorities, obviously a major cloud provider may be more willing to turn your info over to someone else.
I mean "market rate" in terms of salary is 30 - 50% pay cut over total comp compared to working at an established company with RSUs and massive EoY bonuses. That coupled with the general resume risk means your first hire is leaving a lot on the table.

If you need the best, you're going to have to pony up equity since you just can't compete otherwise. The open secret however, is that for most startups, you really don't need the best. You don't need top quality to throw together a web backend and a mobile app and start growing a base; for those companies it makes no sense to dilute the massive payout for the founders by sharing anything with the code monkey actually delivering the app.
I find it exceedingly odd that people find it easy to believe that matter can be created from nothing, but find it so difficult to believe that meaning can be created from nothing.

The simulation theorists are interesting because they try to invest in a quasi-logical argument, but it is built on the same shaky foundations as religion.

Edit: it is built on this same foundation, of not believing in the possibility of creation of meaning from nothing. Which is the same foundation that religion is built on (note, I say religion, not belief in God). And I say this as someone who was brought up in a baptist church believing in 'Christian Science' with all the bullshit magazines and everything. Took me years to undo that mess in my thinking. So though I fully understand the resistance to undo the belief, I still find it exceedingly odd.

i actually misremembered that statistics -- it was that ~40% of americans explicitly believe in young earth creationism. young earth creationism is definitely a mainstream view nationally in the US. even if the level is half that globally among protestants it would qualify as mainstream. protestant denominations (particularly american fundamentalist ones) are also growing at a much faster rate across the world than catholicism.

"A 2017 Gallup creationism survey found 38% of adults in the United States held the view that "God created humans in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years" when asked for their views on the origin and development of human beings, which Gallup noted was the lowest level in 35 years."

and according to this[1], globally 50% of protestant leaders are biblical literalists (generally associated with young earth beliefs)

> And then there's the word stripping. People are clearly misunderstanding what happened there. An advertiser would try to palce an ad. Backpage's algorithm would respond "Whoops, you can't use that word", and ask the submitter to drop it. The submitter would change the word and resubmit the ad. Backpage would then delete any reference to the orginal ad.

Isn't this literally what Facebook and a million other websites do? Go to post on your timeline, type the n word or other banned content. Local JavaScript says "look! The n word! You can't post that." Then, the user removes the n word and hits post again, and the posts goes through without error.
Right, you won't exceed the fp32 calculation rate, unless perhaps it was bandwidth-starved accessing the slowest memory tier. You are doing all fp32 operations after all. What you can do is fit twice the number of array elements into which ever GPU memory layer you decide to store as fp16, so potentially work on half as many blocks in a decomposed problem or twice the practical problem size on a non-decomposed problem.

You can separately decide which layer of cache to target for your loads and stores which convert, and then use fp32 with normalized 0-1 range math in that inner tier. You only have to introduce some saturation or rounding if your math heavily depends on the fp16 representation. The load and store routines are vectorized. You load one fp32 SIMD vector from one fp16 SIMD vector of the same size (edit: I mean same number of elements) and vice versa.
Dang, it must have been expensive to get those guys up there.

Ha! Right, you are!

I suppose AQ does meet that definition, just not the one I was referring to -- the evil cabal is (supposed to be) the one the runs the world (shadowy Illuminati, lizard people, whatever), not a random enemy cabal that happens to pull off a spectacularly deadly stunt by exploiting our security weaknesses.
> Can you explain the thought process with regards to why it's okay for you to receive compensation for your efforts, but not the OSS developer who invested significantly more time (nine years, in the case of Redis) in creating the product?

The consultant isn't selling the product; they're selling a complement to the product: knowledge of how to use the product effectively in the client's circumstances. But complementary goods don't substitute for each other. Paying a consultant for Redis expertise doesn't buy you the functionality of Redis itself.

So if Redislabs deserves to be the only Redis consultancy in existence, the argument has to be that not only do they deserve the exclusive right to profit from the sale of their intellectual property, they also deserve an exclusive right to profit from other people's expertise with their product. But why should anyone accept that?

They might be within their legal rights to impose such a condition in a license (IANAL), but there's not a strong ethical justification for the position.
There is a way for this. LTE has the RSRQ measurement. Example: -3 would equal nearly empty cell, -12 heavy load on the cell.

Sensible isn't a whole mess of scripts and settings. It's 100 lines of highly readable vim settings and at the top there's a comment instructing people to use :help to learn more about what everything does.

I guess a case could be made for adding descriptive comments to make it more approachable for beginners, but it's not some black box of magic.

There is no difference, to the recipient, between "getting $100 of welfare and $75 of the $100 I earned working", or "getting $75 of my $100 of welfare and the full amount of the $100 I earned working".

And there is no perspective from which a means-tested welfare program in which benefits phase out with increasing income does not represent a disincentive to work.

four of the seven listed are cloud providers that actively encourage censorship for the sake of their business model. at best, you would be a fool to run a personal VPN on them, at worst the fact that support exists at all could be evidence that this software is in fact worse than openVPN or TOR in that it facilitates an obviously poor implementation.
