Integrity was never a prerequisite for public debate.
The phrase "single atoms" seems misleading. The article describes the primary device as a cell containing a vapor that needs a laser to activate the gas and a laser to measure the gas. As far as I can tell the only thing "single" here is that the vapor consists of one type of element, which doesn't seem like an important piece of information for the title.

Edit: "single atoms" -> "gas and lasers"
Levenshtein would argue they differ the same way.
Yep, I used to work on the Google code specific features but there was a lot of collaboration between the devs.
Yeah, I'm not buying the whole "crime dramas portray cops as infallible" argument. Every cop show I've ever watched shows the police regularly bending the rules or otherwise being shitty at their jobs. If there wasn't controversy in the plot it wouldn't be entertaining. Saying crime dramas cause failures in our legal system is like saying violent video games cause mass shootings.

Lambdas predate JavaScript by decades. Basically according to your reasoning JS shouldn't exist. It was created by Netscape to compete in the web browser market with Microsoft script language the moment you had Python, Ruby, Pike etc. There were no afaik novel concepts to be found in JS.

The police in this country are absolutely savage. Someone I know was in a major US city this week and saw a police cruiser rev its engine, drive onto the sidewalk and intentionally hit an unarmed man on a bicycle, head on at high speed. The power of that impact and sound of snapping bones was something which will stay in my friend's head forever. There was blood everywhere. My friend was sure the man was dead, although evidently he somehow survived. The cop was white and he's still on active duty. No investigation was made. The man on the bicycle was black. The police department issued a statement stating that it was the bicycle that hit the cruiser. This is America.

After almost 20 years of almost continuous watch-wearing (shower, sleeping...really continuous) I switched to using ambient clocks and my phone in the late 90s. When the Apple watch came out I got one just to see what the fuss was (after all it was a free return in two weeks).

I figured I'd use it a little, then buy version 3 or 4. In the first week I forgot to wear it one morning and turned around in the car on the way to work. It made that much difference.

I have most notifications disabled, but the few that are allowed (a subset of imessage/fb-messenger/whatsapp/who's calling), plus timer and calendar was indeed life changing. I use it more than my phone as its so low impact. But only in my work life. When I'm not working it's just an exercise band.

As someone else in this discussion put it, "it's a dashboard". Yep, but so low cognitive cost that it really works.
I like DDG but still don't like the name. When telling people about it I heard several times that it sounds like a hobby project and not very trustworthy.

To do Zwift right, you need a "smart trainer".

Bike trainers have traditionally been of two types: rollers and resistance trainers. Rollers aren't super popular; they're pretty much used just to improve efficiency and smoothness on the bike, and are a poor choice for resistance training.

The other type of trainer uses some mechanism to impose artificial load on the drive train, for better resistance training. Most serious riders have one of these.

Traditionally, resistance trainers clamped to your rear axle and had a flywheel or some other mechanism that would screw down to your rear tire and provide resistance. In the last several years, though, some folks have created "wheel off" trainers where you remove the rear wheel entirely and attach the bike to the trainer.

These have their own rear cassette, and are appealing to folks for lots of reasons -- probably the biggest is that you don't need to keep a "trainer wheel" around. (The traditional type will wear out your tire pretty fast, so you don't want to be using your nice road tire on the trainer if you can help it.)

Anyway, smart trainers are all resistance trainers. Companies like Wahoo Fitness have smart trainers of both wheel-on and wheel-off varieties (the latter is ~ 180% the cost).

A smart trainer will track power for you, and will interface with your other sensors (cadence, heart rate) to get the full set of telemetry. By pairing it with a service like Zwift, you can do "virtual" rides based on real places, including the hills -- and, in some contexts, even other real riders who are in Zwift at the same time.

All this costs a lot, but cyclists are crazy. (Source: I are one, and I use a Wahoo KICKR Snap.)

I have seen no evidence that supervised or unsupervised ML or "AI" has led to any more accurate application of justice.

I'm not fine with integrating it into the legal system, not while it's vulnerable to the current biases of law enforcement and the justice system. And it would be worse, because once those biases are codified in the machine, there will be a bias toward trusting the evaluation of the machine over a human.
From the Wiki:

A softfork is a change to the bitcoin protocol wherein only previously valid blocks/transactions are made invalid. ...

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Softfork

It's not clear to me yet under what conditions a node would crash. With a single duplicate input? With dozens of duplicate inputs? Duplicate inputs spending segwit outputs?

If some duplicate inputs would have been permitted without crashing nodes then the update appears to fit the definition of soft fork.

edit: also, it appears the DoS vuln doesn't apply to pre-0.14 nodes. Either those nodes would have rejected dup-input blocks (making 0.14 a hard fork?) or the update just released could be seen as a soft fork.

I should have been more clear.

I'm advocating Translucent Database techniques, where patient data is encrypted at the field and row (document) level. Much like a salted password file.

System level encryption still means the admins can still see the data. Therefore, breaches remain inevitable.
I'm interested in how Quiver is going? It looks like this is your main revenue stream? I've looked at it before and been unsure what it does, and trying it now it doesn't seem to work for us (no requests ever reach quiver with the GraphQLQuiverCloudBackend). Is it production ready, or is it in preview at the moment?

Edit: so the issue was that we had an extraneous trailing comma, which was turning a string (deprecation reason) into a 1-element tuple, which was then failing an assertion in the AST serialisation within graphql-core, however this assertion was being silenced by one of the backends - either the decider or the Quiver backend.

300 Multiple Choices
> You are right, but there also lies a problem - even 2080ti pulls barely 60fps at best today's top games, sometimes not even that. Meaning games whose development started around the time when 1080 were introduced. The new ones will be much more demanding, and even if more clever antialiasing helps, that's only small part of performance.

The problem here is that the 2080ti's performance increase is proportional to it's cost increase - we've really gained no more bang for our buck, they've just given us a bigger buck to spend, which is fine if you have it, but I'll bet most people won't. The fancy new AA is just a great way for NVidiia to spread the gap a bit to make it look more worthwhile to buy these new cards - without it nobody would be impressed by the performance.

> I am currently looking for an update over my old 760 gtx, but since I play in 1080p (actually 1200p), I think 1070 will suffice.

The 1070 is a rock solid card, but I'd probably wait to see where the 2070 sits on the price performance curve. The 1070 would be a HUGE upgrade from what you have right now, but assuming that the 2070 isn't priced like a 1080 of last gen it could be a very solidly performing card for a rational price (assuming they didn't price this one up to match whatever equivalent it has for last gen), and give you just that much more room to stretch out your next upgrade. I normally hate the "wait until the next gen comes out" philosophy as there's always a new gen coming, but this seems prudent as I imagine we are ~ 1 month away.

It's fair to mention that he is well known, though in fact I'm one of the old guard that remembers when he had a higher profile.

But, as with a new Paul Graham essay, surely we can critique the blog post on its merits instead of falling back on an assessment based on some kind of appeal to authority/"expertise by association". Philip Greenspan doesn't need to be treated with kid gloves as if he was the pope.

John Ousterhout made comments that touch on some similar (though not identical) distinctions in programming practices. That was years ago, and he was then a much more credible figure in software than Greenspun. All the same, his essay was heavily criticised. That's what serious intellectual discussion should involve.

There is zero differwnce between this and the old fashioned practice of picking two or three random people on the street to ask an opinion of. Reporters have been giving "man on the street" opinions of news stories forever. The only difference is that with Twitter a reporter cam actually see a larher number of opinions easily, which are already public, without dragging a cameraman down the sidewalk.
I don't understand why it's deemed necessary to work with both public and sensitive information on the same device. This might have made sense when computers were much more expensive. Today, why not buy two computers and keep them physically isolated?
Prosecutors say a lot of things.

For instance, they said he shot the victim.

Where is the evidence that he shot the victim?

Where is the evidence that he provided the weapon?

These are the questions we should remain focused on when trying to ascertain guilt or innocence. Not what the prosecutor said. (Prosecutors have in-built incentives to persuade you to one side.) Nor, indeed, should we even focus too much on what the defendant said. (He could have been tortured, or he could just be lying.)

Do you have evidence or not? If not, gtfo.

Now in this case, the prosecutor hid evidence. And that's what complicates everything. When the prosecutors are willing to go to those lengths to cover their untruths, then there is little that can be done to check that lack of integrity given the structure of the current system. That's certainly a problem. But the idea is that if we focus on evidence we won't go wrong.

> One company plans to keep selling me off to advertisers. Another plans to provide me with software.

That's not exactly true. Both companies have shown that they _will_ switch to selling something different when they believe they can make more money that way.

Also, both these companies spy on you while using their products, and both sell that data to their advertisers. It's not just Google.

You should use both their products as you want, when they help you. My point is mainly not to trust that the company behind the developer products is some kind of a good actor. They will sell you out when it fits them.
