Consumerism was always a lie. The idea of working more in order to earn more in order to buy more stuff to purportedly make us happier. Insofar as it did, it came with a terrible cost.
Agreed, there’s generally a lot of filler and intros for about 30 seconds to a minute of genuinely useful information.

I guess it’s the same as most pop businesses books: there’s about a blog post’s worth of material, padded out with case studies, anecdotes and other fluff to reach the page count.
>Even if I had the time, money and expertise I would never do something like that.

Invite only spaces. New members have mentors who are responsible for them. Anyone can be expelled for any reason at any time.

It's amazing how much the tone changes when someone is on the line for breaking a 10k machine and having to pay for everyone else using an equivalent machine commercially while they get it fixed.
OT: Regarding Tumblr, what cookies do you need to allow nowadays to be able to read it? I haven’t been able to see Tumblr links for months, at least. All it does is redirect to the front page and prompt me to sign in.

>It has a 380mAh battery, which sounds abysmal, but the ePaper display should not use very much power, so we wouldn't be surprised if its battery life is just fine regardless.

It has a LTE radio in it. Battery life is not going to be fine. The 80g phones of the '00s era with 2 week battery life are just a fond memory. The technology is degrading over time.
Intel Core I9-9900K CPU Review: 8-Core 9th Gen Coffee Lake Benchmarks
This looks to be a way for the city to coerce some money from an organization, and which fits into an existing bureaucratic process, giving it the patina of legitimacy.

It is a bit surprising that the cathedral didn't just immediately stop construction and close down access with a big sign saying what was going on. After all, its all about complying with the law and all. They could have even started making plans to move the cathedral to a different site with all the proper permits and everything. The city would have caved for sure.

If you're not willing to go to the mat, you'll always get taken advantage of.
Fake news in crypto is a big problem
That's not really true, at least in terms of GST distribution (which is the most significant/relevant measure of tax distributions to Australian states). Tasmania and South Australia are much more heavily subsidised than Qld, which is now close to parity (probably due to the mining activity there).

You don't, because if you're so immersed and disciplined to be able to develop cutting-edge technology, you are sacrificing the time and energy one would need to solve the much more difficult task of creating the right hands for the technology to fall into. But humans in the "tech" industry are so harried they are lucky if they get to work on something they believe some hands might be able to profitably handle.

Easiest way to control technology is with blackmail, that's why blackmail rings tend to run the technologies that tend to control which technologies fall into which hands (usually called "governments"), but blackmail is the power to make someone appear to have the wrong hands, so it's collected more efficiently the worse the hands are. If you think government is in the wrong hands or could fall into the wrong hands ever again, and you've got your head down developing some new technology, you've found yourself in a hole but you won't stop digging.
That's the impression I got from the theory, but I really don't buy it. I have yet to read a piece of ancient literature that didn't feel like it was written by a modern human. Gilgamesh, brought up earlier, is a great example.

Which Realtek Ethernet NICs are we talking about?

For me they have been rock-solid using Debian for many years across different generations of Realtek NICs.

On the other hand I have experienced no end of issues with Intel 82574L, e.g. http://blog.krisk.org/2013/02/packets-of-death.html and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1730550
I only have possibly skewed anecdata for this claim but of the people who I know have seen factory farming investigation videos only two are vegetarians and the rest of them (20+ easily over time) have used it as a joke topic while eating meat laden meals together. This is from college 10 years ago until now. I think sharing these articles helps, maybe it will spur someone into making some new animal-cruelty-free foods but if the intention is to stop most of us from eating meat I doubt it will work.
This is great! One hint I find useful is paying attention to eating. Try to decompose the taste of a dish. Then try to identify what makes those tastes.

Enjoy!

>>> It has a 380mAh battery, which sounds abysmal

It is truly abysmal. Can it even last a full day being idle?

Contrary to what people may think, it's not the screen that consumes the most battery (unless actively used) but the radio.

I’ve spent a lot of hours toiling away on this game. It’s really nicely made.
I’m saying “more generous”, not “better”. As CMCDragonkai wrote, the passage is a criticism of a system which says gift givers are more virtuous the more they give, when many others cannot give without harming themselves.

To put it another way, although one can give the Gates generosity-brownie-points for caring about other people, they don’t get fourty thousand times as many such points as a normal couple who “only” donates a million dollars to charity.
It’s amusing that to many these days, the most straightforward way to take a screenshot they know is to snap a photo of it with their phone camera.

The fact that it's illegal to film factory meat farms in some States in the USA should tell you a lot about just what is going on - and how horrible it must be.

Sure, you want to eat steak, I get that. Go eat a steak. But lets at the very least treat the animals with respect and give them some semblance of a decent life and kill them quickly and humanely.
I grabbed my Facebook data when the GDPR came into effect.
Besides what I've "willingly" shared they don't have much data on me.
No phone calls, no text messages, no locations, no contacts.

I attribute this to always having used iOS, and me always having been rather conservative with what permissions I give out to apps. I never give out address book permissions, location updates is allowed if _I_ have use for it within the app, etc. I've never used Google apps on my iPhone.

Mostly though, it's probably due to iOS. It has always had better/finer privacy settings, and where Android used to require permissions up front, iOS asked for them when you actually used the feature within the app.

The option to disable background updates also helps a great deal. Can't very well siphon my entire location history if you only receive location updates for 6 minutes per day.
It was OK in 2016. The article said they dropped it as new Apollo arch was introduced. But it was, and is still OK today.

Maybe I missed it, but were there perf/usd metrics? Less USD makes it nicer :D
Sagrada familia isnt a cathedral. Its a church, albeit a large and fancy one, and now a basilica due to that.
Look at it this way, Apple doesn't grab or sell your data, so when they sell you a device that's all the money they're going to make from you.

When Google sells you a device they can afford to "discount" it as they'll make more money whenever you use the device.
So why don't we address the issue at its root and use wealth as the primary factor for diversity versus the proxy of race?
What’s the logic game? I’d also love to find more games like these for my kids (they love playing with Euclidea, but it’s too abstract for them to grasp).

I’m working on fabricating interactive art pieces/clocks. I’ve been making these ask gifts for a few years. A big part of the gift is my time and effort. I think that is invaluable.

People always ask if I sell them. So I’ve come up with a wordclock design I really like and am working on some basement manufacturing.

For my day job I’m in charge of making physical products. So this is a hobby extension of that skill set.

Right now I’m hoping to ramp up production enough to sell a few of these for the holiday season. Hopefully this weekend lead time will change from 3-5 weeks to 1 week. Moderator Dan suggested I post a Show HN about this. I plan to once I get through this production hurdle.

The advantage of having a human brain is that you can think about your actions and the consequences they have. Eating meat, especially mass-produced beef, is catastrophic for the environment. Well done on destroying the systems you depend on to live.
A bias is simply a non uniform distribution among the values of a feature of what you're trying to predict. Since the data used by Google in training AI comes from users, it's likely to contain all sorts of human and social bias adding noise to what they're trying to predict.
I'd be interested in seeing your list.
Unequal outcome != bias. Most SJWs don‘t seem to understand this. Of course it can be an indicator that there may be bias, but it is FAR from a proof thereof.

I can easily write you a completely unbiased “model” predicting who comitted crimes:

func probability_of_comitting_crime():
return 1/human_population

This is 100% unbiased and treats everybody the same. It’s also 100% useless...

I was the owner of a retail store from '90 to '00. The ecomm version overlapped from '97 to 2007. Given that experience, I read this thinking: This person(s) was massively underprepared, as well as underfunded. They also seemed to believe that all their options (in growing the biz) were too difficult. Marketing was rarely mentioned.

I don't want to be negative but there are two life rules (not just biz) that apply here:

- If it were easy, everyone would be doing it

- Making it look easy is very very hard.

Pardon me for stating the obvious ;)

Now, what that tells us about action in opposite direction? How to spoil the kid? Tell it that he should feel no gratitude because wealth distribution is random and that hard work, merit, or discipline matter.
I would assume that your best bet is to reflect about your own stance on materialism. Usually children develop in the long run towards very similar personalities as those of their parents.
Several years ago I was on a job hunting expedition. I went through 10-15 interviews, both on-site and over the phone, and almost no one would tell me what I did "wrong". The most I ever got was something along the lines of "culture fit".

It was extremely frustrating to me as a candidate. How do you get better at something if know one helps you? Did I have lettuce in my teeth? Was I wet because it was raining and I forgot my umbrella? Am I truly a terrible programmer? Why did you reject my application!?
I readily agree that the people I know who are vegetarian are, as a cohort, seem healthier, more active, and happier than the randomly selected American. What I can't readily conclude is cause and effect.

I haven't seen many (any?) studies that effectively isolate vegetarian diet in humans from confounding factors as mentioned in the first paragraph of the wikipedia link you provided.

I've yet to meet a vegetarian who sits on the couch all day, smoking, eating fries, chips and candy, drinking beer and watching TV. I've met plenty of others who fall fairly close to that stereotype and I'll readily admit that if I looked only at "vegetarian vs not", I'd conclude that vegetarian was more optimal. By the same token, I'd probably conclude that merely owning hiking boots or a kayak or soccer cleats was a life quality and quantity extender.
That's irrelevant really - Gatekeeper only uses Apple's root when determining if software is signed.

Give the fucking shenanigans we've seen from the commercial CA's recently, I'm not surprised.
If you test a lot of people, and also have a many false positives (i.e. people who are diagnosed with having cancer, but actually do not have it), and then "treat" them, you will end up having a high cure rate..
Steam Bans All Links to TorrentFreak News as “Potentially Malicious”
Indeed, I know what a bias is and what the common cognitive biases are, though they always bear repeating. I’m referring to a specific statement at the end of the video lecture, where the viewer is encouraged to validate ML results against “socially appropriate behaviour”. This is somewhat ambiguous, and can be interpreted as meaning that the viewer should suppress any result that may appear taboo. I’m wondering if this is the intention behind the statement.

If so, this is not to be encouraged. It would be the equivalent of the sciences rejecting results when they don’t conform to current theory. Go to extra lengths to validate the results, sure, but don’t throw them away out of hand.
2 proven principles: Questions and Receptors

#1: Questions: "What made you feel good today? ... Tell me about it.." (By them telling the story, they relive the experience, and the brain releases the same feel-good endorphins)

#2: Receptors: Even if kids don't understand language yet, they're still hypersensitive to your emotions. By you yourself practicing gratitude in their presence, they'll tune into it and receive the signal.
I ended up creating a "Find a Job" board in Trello. It works pretty well but it's hard to get data out of it. How long did I take to get a job? How many interviews did I have? What was the average time between submitting an application and getting contacted by the company?
With a Hollywood Stunt, Cuomo Tries to Push Trump on Rail Tunnel
Is this for anyone or is it just posturing? I mean anyone doing ML knows that if you train an algorithm on a biased dataset that it will, surprise, learn to be biased. It's not at all inherent or restricted to unfair treatment of any group. It's a more general problem. By focusing on "fairness" you are basically overfitting the larger problem of not selecting good datasets or not having good data.

I really like the idea of an e-ink display so that the battery will last longer, but they are also not so strong and I'm afraid it won't last long if you treat this phone like other phones (toss into your backpack or put it in your back pocket).
The problem is that people view pure statistical based crime probability as "unbiased" because... math. It's not! Most bias is deeply hidden, and our training data comes directly or indirectly from some form of human subjectivity.

The more autonomy plays a role in our lives, the more aware we need to be of how internal bias from human source has affected things like predictions.

And please, there is nothing more flippant and off-putting than railing against "SJWs," this is a topic that demands thoughtfulness.

First of all you made it! You are in the top 1% or so of people who apply to be hired at these places. I remember some stat that tens maybe a hundred thousand people apply to google a year and only a select few make it on. Don’t be ashamed! Be proud. You have nothing left to prove just do your work. All the gladiator level proving has been done by your interview and your previous body of work. It’s a huge accomplishment.

Do you have a mentor? Someone you admire with decent people skills that can help you learn the soft skills to help you both accel but also assuage your concerns? I’d look for someone like that because they might have gone through the very same thing you did. Or they might know of someone with a similar personality type and know how to help you.

Just be happy and confident. Again you made it. Someone thought you were good enough to join the team. Be patient but also find ways to insert yourself into cool or interesting projects so that you both get exposed to the business but also show initiative and maybe put your name on some cool projects.
With Shor's algorithm (the thing that would make this headline about "Quantum computers will break the encryption that protects the Internet" true) AFAIK the answer is that quantum computers have found 21 = 7 x 3

Because of interest in using quantum computers to factor big numbers there's a reason to do something other than Shor's algorithm with a big machine that can't run Shor's algorithm and thus get a big impressive number. This approach has factored six or seven digit numbers. Which your PC could also trivially do, and it doesn't use Shor's algorithm either.

I'm a cyclist with an Apple Watch and iPhone SE. The watch is nearly useless when I'm riding, because it requires me to remove one or both hands from the handlebar for too long to accomplish anything meaningful AND possibly take my eyes off the road to see what's (not) happening on the display. Too many Watch apps wait until you open them to update (if you're lucky) or tell you to unlock your iPhone first. It sounds convenient, but it's really a usability nightmare on a bike. Use Siri instead, you say? I can already do that with my headset, so what benefit does the watch provide?

I use my watch mostly at work for 2FA and to passively monitor my notifications. When I need to respond, I'd rather use my phone, so adding cellular to the watch doesn't really add much value for me.
There are many applications of a fast factoring algorithm in number theory, and many people who would love to get their hands on one for that reason. You'd be exceptionally famous if you developed a very fast algorithm for this. That is to say nothing of the fact that it would say something about the fundamental complexity of various problems.
Here's something I can't understand.

We're got super-thin "foldable" OLEDs.

Why doesn't anyone make a phone with a RIGID, super-thin, fold-up second (or third) screen?

Bending is a gimmick. Being able to epoxy a super-thin panel onto a carbon fiber shell? Game changing.

I'd gladly take a phone that's SE-sized x 3 widths, with borders between the screens. Better yet, accordion it so I can just use the top panel if I don't need "all screens".

Huh? Humans make the conscious decision to override instinctual and observational impulses all the time in response to empathy and emotion. It is a huge foundational factor in society. Why would we NOT want autonomous agents to have the same capacity? There's a reason things like The Trolley Problem come up in AI courses: our agents have to play reasonably in a human world.

You want to treat something with respect and then kill it to eat it? What exactly is the point?
I feels ya.

A few years ago, I got pretty worked up about my state killing an entire wolf pack, just to protect some cows. So I got involved. I learned a lot.

Ranchers are people too. I really loved these people. It was just one bad apple, deliberate repeat offender, causing all the problems. Everyone else was totally onboard towards creating a better future.

Ranching is unsustainable. And they (the families) know it.

Skipping to the end... My predictions:

#1 Laboratory meat will largely eliminate factory farming. It will completely upend our (Western) agricultural economy. Huge reduction in feed grains, pesticides, fertilizers, etc. Massive improvement in waste management. It can't happen soon enough. My uneducated guess is 10-20 year transition. All us tree huggers should work to expedite.

#2 To continue, ranchers will need to go up market. Artisan, bespoke meat.

#3 We will pay ranchers to restore habitat. This will make up for their loss of income from selling meat. And hopefully keep families working the land.

"How to fight desertification and reverse climate change"
https://www.ted.com/talks/allan_savory_how_to_green_the_worl...

#4 Trend towards direct micromanagement of animals (wild and domesticated) and habitat will continue. GPS tags, drones, IoT for soil monitoring & management, satellite imagery, adapt to weather predictions, etc. Even more so than my grandfather's day, future farmers and ranchers will be high tech entrepreneurs, knowledgable in tech, business, accounting / finance.

In conclusion: I know our current situation is bleak. There is a way forward, out of this mess. Keep the faith.
The “American Inventor” result is easily explained by being a substring of “African American Inventor”. No conspiracy necessary, it’s just a substring hit.
Where do the Christians stand on this issue? If there's one single group that has the power to calibrate people's moral compass on this issue, is would be clergymen. As another person said, people just don't care. People are on the whole an exploitative and unsympathetic species. They'll continue eating factory farmed meat and buying sweatshop clothing, much more than necessary. But in the US at least, where 77% of people identify as Christan, if preachers took issue with these things, they could make an impact on how their congregation spends money.

A preacher who actually targeted moral atrocities would be seen as radical, and would most likely lose the church members and money. And so church will continue to be large ornate buildings with large parking lots filled with luxury cars where people hear about their salvation, while wearing sweatshop clothing and then eat barbeque afterwords, instead of a place that actually makes a difference.
My sister tried to get a job at a factory farm. She found there weren't many openings as they primarily employ prisoners through work programs. They employ prisoners because nobody wants those jobs. Even the prisoners would chose a different work program given the option.
