stevenicr your'e right in that regard. Yahoo is the only one who has provided an on premises solution which is really sad. Even they haven't released the dataset of their images just the model. If more of these companies released open source models on a frequent basis we would all have less objectionable content on the internet.

I guess the reason companies haven't done that and the reason Yahoo isn't really good is because it's difficult to constantly keep updating a model that's already been "released".
From what I understand the important news is that it was possible to detect the presence of water in the first place, using a new technology (or rather, combination of technologies).
You can put "Other" if you don't want to disclose it, but I understand the sentiment. It could be understood as NB / Trans for example, and it could be misleading. I'll keep that in mind for a future revision.
He should have been issued with an arrest warrant in the same way we issue them for contempt of court.

I don’t think a dangerous precedent has been set. I think foreign tech should be aware right from the start, if you break the law you and your staff will be punished.

It’s the same deal for UK firms working in US. HSBC was quite rightly punished for money laundering in the US.
Mullvad offers unlimited 3-hour trial accounts. A few days messing around with that was enough for me to decide become a lifetime customer.

That's the correct model for onboarding with free services, not offering a free service tier with restricted speeds.

It's simply stupid as a user to forward all of your traffic to another company for free. Thus any VPN that offers such a service does not believe in fully educating its users of the dangers involved in using a VPN, and are operating at an ethical boundary.
Very interesting. I find myself in the odd position of having an extraordinary memory akin to (though perhaps not as extreme as) Shereshevsky that is not especially useful to me.

I often put it as "I don't think my memory is that good, but I've never met someone with a better memory to check it against". I often find myself reminding people of interactions we've had, conversations, what we had for dinner, what they were wearing... Largely ephemeral recollections of no particular relevance.
looking into it, I will update the results if I find an error!
Left Facebook about 8 years ago. I block all their domains on my internal DNS. I mean they are not getting any metrics from me. Period. I used WhatsApp but dumped it for privacy reason, Facebook is not trusted.

Google is the next company that will come under heavy scrutiny. They are aggressively trying to circumvent ad-blockers with their recent usage of semi-random domains.

You can’t abuse ordinary people’s privacy and shove ads in people’s face for too long time.
but You’re not proving that the data you are expecting to be in L2 actually ends up in L2. Let alone persists long enough to be recalled from L2 when you do your rescans. Your test is crude and thus doesn’t prove anything. Which is what we have all been telling you right from the start!!!!

You cannot just throw numbers up and say “look I’m right” if the test of flawed from the outset.

But yes, it’s probably better we do call it a day.

The United States as we know it now didn't really exist. Every State in 1860 was basically a country with its own culture and history. The Civil War was instrumental in making the US into one country with one government. Before 1860 it was more a loosely held together alliance.
The big difference is that C and C++ usually don't crash, rather silently corrupt memory with all possible outcomes.

If it is a server process, it can even corrupt data for days until someone actually notices it, if ever.

Or they just crash in a totally unrelated memory segment a couple of hours later.

Crashing when the out-of-bounds takes place is a much better outcome.
If you like the sound of that I highly recommend the Westworld reboot, but I don’t want to spoiler it.
I don't think I misunderstand. Another example:

> But that is not the half of it. Scores will also be awarded to citizens according to who they associate with. If your social media connections consist exclusively of senior government officials and respectable party ideologues, the chances are the presiding algorithm will allot you the equivalent of a triple-A rating. But if you happen to have exchanged messages with someone who is friends with a human rights lawyer or the imam at the local mosque, you could rapidly find your status cut to junk.

I was looking for another article that explains it in more detail still, but cannot find it. But have seen this described in many places. I haven't been to China, and can't tell how far they are in their implementation. Just going from news sources.
Replicating the Eiffel was all the rage for a while, the Japanese did it in Tokyo in the ‘50s and I’m almost certain there are other replicas and attempts around the world.

It’s one of those weird twists of fashion: the Eiffel serves no real purpose and most people thought it was a pointless exercise, but it was so absurd that it went all the way around and became iconic - so much so that people started copying it.
Yes. In theory no, but in practice the big the providers just randomly disappear a certain percentage of your emails. They don't get marked as junk, just never get to the recipient. After 15 years of running my own email server I gave up and paid one of the commercial suppliers to ensure my emails arrived.

Meritocracy and identity politics are different things, not antonyms. In fact, I'd argue that the goal of identity politics is to establish a meritocracy that enables all people to flourish.
I think there are archive copies that can be downloaded in the forum.
The white gravy is what we would call white sauce in Britain, and close to what the French would call béchamel (although woe betide you if serve béchamel in France that isn't perfectly white).

In the subcontinent gravy refers to any curry sauce, so there is at least one other well-established usage that differs from the British usage.

For me, Southern American cuisine is very distinctive and unique so I give it free reign on whatever it wants to call things. I object only to some of the silly American names like "French fries" and "Russian dressing".

That's creepy. Different topic: I think the biggest connection business is whatsapp. If a person does not use whatsapp but a friend of that person does, whatsapp knows the person's phone number anyway. If >= 2 whatsapp users have that person's phone number stored with the same name in the contact list, whatsapp even knows the person's name (and other information). With that information they can accurately identify the person's facebook profile. Horror!
1. This is literally an opinion piece.

2. The author seems to reference the official document from the government. I did an extensive review of official document on social credit system (link in my profile), and didn't find anything describing such thing.

Maybe it is just a feature of the Zhima Credit (a private financial credit system), which happens to be included social credit system.
I believe Tom Cruise learned how to fly a helicopter just for that role. Dude's batshit but he has incredible respect for his craft.

The whole time during that massive car chase, I was just trying to focus on when it was clearly CGI and when it was clearly a real goddamn car chase. The transitions were so seamless that I only caught maybe 3-4 examples of CGI.
I'm not sure its /just/ confirmation bias.
CGI scenes are qualitatively different. With CGI there's no limit to what you can put on screen. You want a space battle with 12000 ships, each firing lasers and missles? No problem. Models are different, each one costs.

Compare Star Treks. ST:TNG had the Enterprise and maybe one other model at best. Battles were rare, because that would mean destroying your model, battles were an end of series finale thing. Compare that with a modern Star Trek. Where theres a massive battle every episode.
Probably for the user base. IIRC Netscape switched from focusing on software to providing portal on the web. The browser became a tool for getting people to their start page.
We used to use the word Cloud as VM, or Hardware Infrastructure related only. Now every online Services are "Cloud Revenue." Adobe should rename their Subscription as "Cloud Revenue" as well. I am sure Wall Street like a new spin on everything.

While for Amazon, how is Online Retailing not "Cloud Revenue", or pretty much everything for Amazon should be Cloud Revenue.
Transferwise borderless accounts (https://transferwise.com/gb/borderless/) do exactly that. You can open up multiple international bank accounts that are all linked to one debit card. It's free as well.
The windows 10 background was also CGI free.
First thing to do is to understand the 3 Key points of an interview. Almost all questions break down to 3 questions. For the pedantic I know you can come up with a corner case, but this is still a valid rule.

1) Can you do the job?

2) Do you fit in?

3) Will you do the job?

So let us address each of these, although they all sound VERY obvious.

CAN YOU DO THE JOB:

This is mostly answered by your resume. If they did not feel you could do the job they would never have had the interview. BUT during the interview they do VALIDATE your resume claims. Or at least they try to. All of the extensive white boarding and testing is just because (or should be because) they are not sure your claims are valid. If this is not the case, then they are not being intellectually honest and are just grandstanding. But, per your claims this is probably not the issue.

DO YOU FIT IN:

This is about communication. How well do you express yourself, how well do you communicate ideas. I like to ask a question I know the person cannot answer, but they think they should be able to answer. I usually build up to it with ones they definitely should know. I do not remember the answer. A real jerk I am. The objective is to have the person admit they do not know. I would rather hear you do not know something than feed me BS that will waste a lot of resources. I do not need a 'Know it all' that does not know anything. If a person provides an answer I write it down word for word. Then I go look it up. Like I said I can never remember the answer.

Final note on this point, the more the interviewer talks the better they think you are at communicating ... (this applies to dating too)

WILL YOU DO THE JOB: (an entire book could be written on this one point)

This seems like the most obvious, 'You pay me I work!' how much simpler could it be....

BUT:

When crunch time comes are you willing to put in the extra work?

If a competitor offers you 1% raise are you out the door?

Is this JOB / COMPANY / INDUSTRY your passion?

Coat and tie? Show up early? Well groomed?

Send a thank you note? Bonus points if you answer the unanswered question from 'Do you fit in'. Include commentary about the interview. Make the note brief, but have key points.

Did you research the company?

Are you ready to work now! Do you know where your desk will be? If not, why did you not ask? Only excuse for not finding this information is you really do not want the job.
You must bring a list of questions to ask them.

Be sure to have a separate list that are HR related. Asking your future boss about vacation time means you are just there for a pay check not the passion.

I need coffee so I will leave it with that.

No, but I do think it's worth exploring the idea of a commons once more. I suspect a not tiny percentage of the population might be better off with a low-overhead lifestyle that we've made extremely difficult with our model of land ownership.

I respect property rights, which is why the more I learn the more our current system of selling the right to occupy land that was arbitrarily taken (from Irish and English farmers, from native Americans, or hell, even from Mexico) to be scaffolding designed to hide the fact the land was basically just stolen. Nevermind more recent outrages, like redlining.

I don't necessarily assume my VPN is 100% secure; I do trust a company that I pay money to more than I trust that nobody's sniffing my traffic at a rando coffee shop.
This was not established law at the time of secession. Lincoln should have sued the seceding states to determine the legality of secession before beginning hostilities [0]. It was not established as law that leaving the union was illegal until 1869, when Texas argued in Texas V. White that secession was unconstitutional, and therefore the confederate legislature of Texas during the war was illegitimate. Therefore, the state still owned the bonds that it had (allegedly) sold to fund the war.

Further, Texas V. White was not a unamious decision. In the dissenting, Justice Grier wrote [1]:

>is Texas one of these United States? Or was she such at the time this bill was filed, or since?

>This is to be decided as a political fact, not as a legal fiction. This court is bound to know and notice the public history of the nation.

...

> I do not consider myself bound to express any opinion judicially as to the constitutional right of Texas to exercise the rights and privileges of a State of this Union

...

> I am not disposed to join in any essay to prove Texas to be a State of the Union when Congress have decided that she is not. It is a question of fact, I repeat, and of fact only. Politically, Texas is not a State in this Union. Whether rightfully out of it or not is a question not before the court.

This is reflective of a general political fact that sovereignty is not a legal question. Had the South won the war, we would not be having this arguement. It would be an undisputed fact that the Confederacy was a sovereign nation not subject to US law. It takes 2 sides to wage a war, and the North started the war because it found the South's political decision unacceptable [3]

Further, if we look at the post-war history, it was northern republicans who argued that secession was possible, as this is what allowed them to treat the former confederate states as conquered territory and therefore subject to direct congressional rule.

The southern Democrats (along with more moderate republicans) argued that secession was illegal, and therefore they were still full states in the Union, which would make laws such as the Reconstruction Acts [2] unconstitutional

[0] Not that it would have made any practical difference.

[1] https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/74/700#writing...

[2] As an unrelated matter, the North did repeal the Habeas Corpus Act 1867 in order to prevent the courts from ruling on the constitutionality of such reconstruction measures. Given the precedent set in Texas V. White, the southern states were likely correct that much of reconstruction was unconstitutional.

[3] That is not to say that the North was not justified in starting the war.
It should also dissipate very quickly. There would be a brief window when it'd be dangerous, but you'd need as little wind as possible. The volumes used in these chillers are relatively small.
Check out the "links to original images" sections as they are incorrect ~50% of the time. The name above the blurred image does not correspond to the link name.
I just finished reading the book. In it, he doesn't state that it happened at once everywhere. There was one passage that implied that the Aztecs were still mostly bicameral (or were in the immediate period after the bicameral breakdown) when the Spanish arrived in the 16th Century.

Also, the breakdown is not instantaneous, but happens over time. Once it starts, you get religion and oracles (the Oracle at Delphi for example) as the populous attempts to hear the gods' voices for direction. Oracles lasted for about a millennium after the initial breakdown in Greece, and over time, the gods' voices were head less and less.

He also states that modern remnants of the bicameral mind exist in hypnosis and schizophrenia (but in the case of hypnosis, how it works is very culturally dependent).
This is very cool comparison. I would really like folks at Netflix/Amazon to take this and build a feature that auto-skips through non-PG rated content so you can watch some of otherwise very great movie/TV content with very young kids. For example, StarTrek. They can call this feature "PGify" :).
I forgot to add (1945) to the title, apologies.

"It would take an entire strategic overhaul to fix it - which is why these things keep happening."

They could just ask for advice to whoever makes websites for semiconductor manufacturers and/or sellers: there's surely a lot of corporate blurbs in there but in a few clicks you also get to an easy to navigate matrix of products with filters to find exactly the needed part. It would become trivial for example to find a product with no less than x GB of RAM,SSD, that exact processor, x cells battery, xy sized screen, available in stock now etc. then sort the list by pricing.

>I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored the nearer the Union will be "the Union as it was." If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time save Slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy Slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or destroy Slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that. What I do about Slavery and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save this Union, and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views. I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty, and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men, everywhere, could be free.

We are fairly inconsistent about use of metric in general use in the UK - for example: last weekend I drove 79 miles at 60 or 70mph to walk 21km and climb about 900m to go up two hills at about 930m and 940m which I feel compelled to climb as they are more than 3000ft high!
Well sure, IE loaded all that crap when windows loaded.
Disclosure: I work on a ‘competing’ file uploader.

I’d like to thank Richard for the relentless efforts in pioneering this robust uploader. As a member of the Uppy team I have had the pleasure of a few encounters with him where he adviced us on e.g. saving directly to s3. I regard him more as a bright peer than a competitor, the ecosystem is large enough that we can afford that luxury. And I guess being in open source helps. Like, I’d dont suppose there’s a cutthroat mentality between Linux and FreeBSD contributors for instance :)

I can relate to the gh-issue fatigue becoming unbearable if you yourself no longer have a need, or a way to make it into a sustainable career. Worse: others are building businesses with your free product and make wild demands. Our team is fortunate enough that our own business can benefit from Uppy and so that we can allocate paid-for-time; but if all that effort has to come from your spare time, that could also have been spent on your family or making money to feed them.. the weight really adds up and wears you down.

So: Much respect for keeping it up for so many years, breaking new grounds, and being a big inspiration to us.
The best analogy for cryptocurrency is combination locks.
Imagine an anonymous public box, locked by a combination lock. This is the "address". The owner just has exclusive knowledge of correct combination("security by obscurity") but he doesn't have anything else to prove ownership.
Correct. The source is licensed with MIT license. The downloadable version from happymac.app has a different EULA. That said, the intent was to avoid people copying the app, so the EULA has been changed to now replace the two lines you quoted with: You must not: - Copy and redistribute the HappyMac app under the same or similar name
