I see Trump's re-election as a done deal at this point (no, I did not vote for him)

No potential Democrat has been groomed to fight him and it really looks like they will in fact let Hillary try again.

Trump has been tough on China which most Americans favor.

Trump has delivered a tax cut most Americans won't want to roll back.

Trump has gotten North Korea off the front burner. So have other Presidents like Obama and Clinton....which is good because Americans don't really want to care about North Korea.

Trump has been President during a strong economy for housing, stocks and corporate profits.

Trump is being tough on immigration which continually polls high with the public...I have never seen a poll conclude Americans want lax immigration laws, ever. Sorry most Americans don't care about the detention stuff either.

Immigration continues to confuse Democrats - only Bernie seems to realize a strong social safety net and open borders are mutually exclusive.

Downvote away, the next election will blindside you all like the last. Only hope for Democrats is a market collapse.
Help to fix your credit report
My name's Mark I'd like to share my recent experience to you all. Just a few weeks ago i was homeless, i was jilted by my online lover and he had robbed me of everything i had. By the time i realized i was being played, my credit score was already 679 , i had an eviction on my report and a large debt on my credit. I was on my way to the little corner behind the store where i normally sleep when i saw a fellow homeless person who i met some days ago and he was looking so changed and successful. I immediately began to beg him to tell me how he made it so fast and because i had told him my story when we previously met, he understood my problem and gave me the contact of the hacker that helped him. i contacted the hacker and he fixed my credit, increased my credit score TO 1020 and cleared all negative listings on my credit in less than 3days. I would have kept quiet about this, but i won't be able to forgive myself for not helping people who are in terrible conditions like i was. Feel free to contact him on his email address without further ado [CREDITDOCTOR@TECHIE.COM] or text him +1(775) 468-8741 and be expectant of a positive result.
Exactly. Hyper accurate clocks. Don't gain and don't lose. Which is why you may use them to detect differences in the flow of time in various locations.

It's just one of my peeves, "clocks slowing down in hight gravity". Nonsense, it's time itself which "slows down".
> It's not harder when you have $25B in cash to spend on fancy marketing, advertising, promotion etc. Do you not understand how massive of an advantage that is?

Come on. Its Mr. Musk's decision to make a company take advantage of debt markets instead of waiting for a few years for the Roadster or Model S to make some profits. Tesla's current financial situation is 100% the decision of Musk.

Musk chose debt and stock offerings because he wanted to take advantage of bull market conditions. He's received something on the order of ~$10 Billion from investors, either from the debt market or the stock market (IPOs or Secondary offerings).

If Tesla were to try its strategy of "IPO to get a ton of money each year, every year" during any other time in US history, it would have literally come across a recession and run out of money.

The Gigafactory was literally built on top of debt and stock offerings. Tesla never had that money to begin with.

Why evil? Or more specifically, why any more evil than any other form of punishment with regards to online communication? If one bans a user as opposed to just shadow ban, the end result is the user either gives up or just makes another account. In rare instances they reform, but usually it's not a reform, it's a change in methodology to avoid whatever condition got them banned in the first place. This isn't rehabilitation, it's learning not to get caught.

In either case, straight up ban or Shadow ban, someone is silenced as a punishment. In either case, the user likely isn't learning their lesson. In either case, the tools are ripe for abuse.

What is the exceptional cost of shadow bans besides them being opaque?

People talk a lot about how awful the virtual escape key is (it is terrible), but another big problem is trying to use an IDE debugger with the touch bar function keys. The problem for me is, I want to rest my fingers on the keys and you just can’t do it since they are a touch screen. Even the IntelliJ first class touchbar support just doesn’t cut it. It just makes me miss Visual Studio on a boring old Dell keyboard.

I never used social media, because of privacy concerns, and because I'm somewhat of a veteran, having started with Fidonet, and continued later with Usenet.

These problem are nothing new, they existed back then already, they were only less severe, because not many people were using those services back then, and the broad audience did know nothing about them.

Having already experienced such things on a small level, I was too sceptical to use social media, and I was right.

But I started using Mastodon about a year ago, assuming that a distributed, censorship resistant network would do something better.

Boy, was I wrong. After the Wil Wheaton incident, I deleted all of my Mastodon accounts, and this will surely be my last experiment with social media.

I have a Threema account, that only my friends and relatives know, and I have my own blogs, that'll be enough.

I survided without social media before, and I'll continue to do so.
> Trudeau doesn't need the midterms -- Republicans in both houses are strongly on the "Canadian" side, as are the Democrats.

There are plenty of republicans and democrats who are against canada. Especially in the important midwest region ( which won Trump the election ). Bernie Sanders was popular for being anti-NAFTA. I wouldn't confuse anti-trumpism with pro-canadianism. You can be against trump and canada.

> His outsized ego and inability to listen to reason has led to this remarkable situation where he is "playing tough" with one of the few nations that the US has a trade balance/surplus.

This is simply not true. We have had a trade deficit with canada for decades.

https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c1220.html

If we had a trade surplus with canada, don't you think it would be canada demanding changes to the trade deal?

> Trump's presidency is rapidly unraveling.

If that was the case, why did mexico just agree to a trade deal with Trump? Why did south korea agree to a trade deal with Trump a few months ago?

> He can neither sign a new trade agreement, or cancel an existing one, without congress.

Sure. But he has presidential powers that could prove very punitive for canada.

Our economy is 8X larger than canada and mexico combined. The US economy accounts for nearly 90% of NAFTA. Instead of being emotionally led by cable news, look at the data.

I'm curious what resources you found useful to learn stats modelling and what sorts of approaches have been useful.

On one hand, it's almost a tautoloy that specific models should be better than general models, but I worked on some 2d time series classification with a statistician and afterwards, for kicks, I replaced the entire thing with a CNN+LSTM and it worked just as well as the whole complicated model he had come up with.
Replying to myself instead of all three replies so far:

People, prediction is a general term. Many predictors come with accuracy estimates (and outside of finance, often prediction bounds). But even if it was only one number - if you have good prediction of the expected price change, that could be sufficient to trade as it encompasses, by definition, the sun of probability of different outcomes times their magnitude.

Either E[price] or E[log price] is a single predicted value you can successfully trade with as long as you are far from your margins, and depending of course on your utility functions.

But as I mentioned, in most fields, when you talk of a “predictor”, that’s not a single number but also accuracy estimates or even a full fledged probability distribution of future events.

"Suffering" ???

Tesla has received $1+ BILLION a year over the past few years from the stock market, and roughly $3.8 Billion from the debt / bond market so far.

A lot of companies would be able to survive if the market magically came up with $2 Billion / year for that company to spend every year.

You might say that its Musk's advantage that he's cultivated the cult of personality. And you'd be correct about that. But I wouldn't call Tesla's financial situation to be "suffering", not by a long shot.

The correct description is "wasted". Musk WASTED the tons, and tons, and tons of money he received from investors. He's not cash flow positive, even after all of these billions of dollars have come in.

------------

Etc. Etc. The financial markets have been very, very kind to Tesla. Any failures on Tesla is 100% Musk's fault at this point. No other company raises billions of dollars every year under normal situations (where "normal" is defined as, any period outside of the 2011 to 2018 bull-run of the current market)

> He refers to Trump as "Shitler" and his supporters as "cultists" and then a few paragraphs later admonishes the reader to "Please do your best to be kind, and make an effort to make the world less terrible."

Definitely, this post is littered with examples like this, like pointing out Gunn getting fired while Gunn himself cheered when the exact same thing happened to Roseanne. There's just so much hypocrisy on every side. If you want the moral high ground, then don't reach for weapons when someone disagrees with you.

People enjoy when weapons wielded against those they view as enemies, but decry the injustice of them being used against those they see as friends. But in the end, war only benefits the war mongers.

Dehumanizing people is never a reasonable response, and so weapons should never be needed, especially against fellow citizens.

No,it is not because transportation sucks...

Many of those sites were designed with such bandwidth, resolution and color constraints. I wonder if they could add some sort of toggle to see display those images in the original intended resolution, or what was common for its day. The jump from 640 to 800 to 1024! The Web-safe 216 colors. Modems from under 3+, to 14, 28, 33, 56 kbps, ISDN, T1 and broadband! you had to use lowsrc attribute in <img> tags while the better image loaded, or pre-loading images in javascript. Glad all of that is over, glad I lived through it.
I usually walk around with a backpack. And yes, the bag gets scanned and I get frisked every time I enter a mall or a local metro station. The only time I was asked not not bring something in was at a cinema, where food and drinks from outside were not allowed. I've had to face similar restrictions at European cinemas too. Apart from that, these scanners and friskers have not restricted my movement in any way.

I think the only time I saw someone get turned away was after a bomb blast at a cinema. It was some dude with a computer SMPS in his backpack -- I knew what it was, but the security guard didn't. But that was just once in my lifetime.

It should have been clear to any person applying basic analysis from the very beginning that decentralization enables abusers. The parallels to and example provided by email is simply too strong.

Decentralized moderation, where a group of essentially unconnected moderators work independently on a problem, have no ability to coordinate or shift load. Centralized moderation systems have both of these abilities, as well as often financial incentives to keep working.

The article hits it right on one point: this is a basic structural problem.

What the article misses is that it assumes there are good solutions while remaining decentralized. There's a reason the approach email settled on was, effectively, centralization.

Alex Jones's speech is not equivalent to Wil's. Jones is accused of inciting harassment and violence, and defaming private citizens. Objecting to Jones's presence and to harassment is not hypocrisy.

There are two arguments against Twitter; one is they're not equally applying their own standards, ignoring the behaviors of people like Jones and Trump while punishing people who are seen as victims. The other is Twitter's standards and tools for dealing with harassment are insufficient. I don't know if the former is true or not but the latter seems to be proven by people finding it impossible to use the platform, as-is.

I don't really understand the thinking behind leaving a large platform because people you don't like also use it. The vast majority of people using Twitter, Reddit, etc. are not objectionable. To act like the presence of a few bad ones A) will harm your reputation if you also use it and/or B) your use constitutes an endorsement of them or even of the platform, seems silly. Leaving because you're personally harassed or have a hard time finding the content or conversation you're looking for is not silly.
I'm excited for a critical mass of those kinds of vehicles. I want one now but someone in an SUV is going kill me one day so I avoid it.
If you can afford it, do it. There are so many people in such a small space that as long as you're willing to put yourself out there you're bound to inevitably meet others you click with. It's ultimately a numbers game and I'd say NYC in particular is inherently a very social place so I'd put it at the top of your list. Good luck!
>> I hadn't realized until recently how India is so much like China regarding surveillance and social control

There is no comparison whatsoever. China has iron clench on its citizens, particularly over net. India has next to zero surveillance.

>> Muslims persecuted by Hindus. Women persecuted by misogynists.

This is patently BS! Please stop regurgitating this narrative! India has second largest Muslim population in the world, Hindus population has been steadily dropping while Muslims population has been increasing. There have been multiple muslim Presidents, Vice-Presidents, Chief Ministers. Infact, India's most of political parties have been accused of favoring Muslim population. India's most famous movie actors are Muslims, many cricketers (India's real religion) are muslims. Wipro and many other successful software companies are owned by Muslim. Had there been persecutions of any sort, there would have been hardly any such examples. So, please stop this BS! Most of such news are blown out of proportion by vested interests, particularly those who look for help from outside India. If you talk to an average Muslim, they would be much happier to live in India than in any of its neighboring states.

Does that mean instances will enforce basic adult civility by preventing one from insulting, say, President Trump? He is by any reasonable standard an absolute stranger to the vast majority of users, who generally will have had absolutely no personal contact with him in any fashion. I don't care for the man's politics, but I also must admit I've never met him.

It says "contact us" and links to their sales email, so I'd assume the dataset is available for purchase. Based on the costs for their satellite imagery dataset [0], I'd assume it's reasonably priced.

I actually self-generated an entire worldwide Cesium quantized-mesh terrain dataset myself a few months ago, based on the ALOS30 terrain dataset [1]. As a prerequisite, I modified the open-source `cesium-terrain-builder` tool to support writing output to MBTiles files [2].

I've been wanting to write a blog post about the process, but have had too many other things on my todo list. Also, it's probably simpler to just purchase whatever they've got available. Still, if you've got questions, be happy to try to answer them.

> you don't just "switch jobs or industries, or do something else" on a whim when you've become burned out

IMHO That's not at all what they're saying. I think they're suggesting making changes long before that, when one hasn't burned out but feels that it is just a matter of time. As far as general suggestion goes (i.e. not directed at you, though it was a reply to you; this is a public forum after all, so you're essentially a stand-in for a wider group of people), I think they're spot on. It may not be relevant to you specifically, since we don't know the details of your situation.

> Perhaps patches were what you meant by “new versions”

I thought that was obvious from context. I guess not.

I'm used to the idea that latest versions are safer, mostly because I have worked in and around systems intended to create that assurance. Where I work we track every upstream CVE patch that affects us until it has been released to customers. Large parts of this process are automated. On a good day the patch lands upstream and a fresh version of our own software rolls off the production line a few hours, fully baked and fully tested.

My sensitivity to allowing versions to fall behind comes from knowing that a) it doesn't have to happen and b) that software that fell behind cannot reduce its bug or vulnerability count without being upgraded. New versions absolutely introduce new bugs, but on the balance of risks, a known vulnerability is more likely to exploited than an unknown one.
