I've been wanting this for a long time, I wanted to take it further though:

I want draft laws, I want to see all representatives as contributors and be able to see their contributions and changes to draft laws.

the House should have a master branch that submits pull requests to another repository, the other chamber having one too

The Governor/President gets to approve PR's from that jurisdiction

It would become SUPER easy to track origins and changes of laws, let alone browse them, and comment on them.

I'd like to see this done retroactively all the way back to English law

Imagine you had the power, but the price was correspondingly high. Would you consider the Thanos option if you had his magic glove? Snap your fingers and X% of people turn painlessly to dust? If so, what should X be? If not, wouldn't you be passing on an opportunity to extend our species' survival, and many others? Is Thanos a hero or villain?
I knew of this practice and it always bothered me regarding flour. With fruit, for example, I can wash off any herbicide or pesticide applied to the plant during its growth. However, how do I wash glyphosate or 2,4-d off a bag of ground flour?

I wonder if this partly explains why so many people have "gluten intolerance" (many being self-diagnosed). It may not be something inherent to gluten, but rather the way wheat is grown and harvested.
When my father moved to his current apartment he noticed a peculiar thing: His neighbors, who worked at a nearby 24/7 take away bar would move in threes in and out of the apartment at certain hours.

This meant that there were at least six of them in a 25m^2 (277-ish sq ft) studio. While it was physically possible to fit three bunk beds there - albeit barely, they would have no space left for a wardrobe.

They spent two years like that and I imagine it was hell.

True.

But I gave up getting meaningful raises within a company. My m.o. for the past 10 years has been to look at the market, gain the skills that are paying more, and change jobs.

As far as promotions, that’s not something I care about. 20 years ago, I was sitting at a desk writing code in Visual Studio 1997. Now I am sitting at a desk writing code in Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio Code - making a lot more money of course.

I was a Dev lead for a while, at one company just to put that on my resume, I self demoted, got a job at another company with the same pay, less responsibility, and the chance to fill in some technology gaps for next job as an overpriced consultant.
> Apple didn’t even invent the walled-garden digital software store; Microsoft was using it on the X-Box in 2005.

I can't install software I buy in a store or direct from someone else without going through Apple. Even with the XBox, I could buy from a store, or second hand and play the game. Apple has invented the computer that forces you to pay Apple for for software or services you want to buy because of their store.

> What I don’t get is the monopoly argument.

The argument is this: Apple has a monopoly on iOS devices. Whether you think that has standing or is an issue in the smart phone market is a different issue. But at least you now understand what the argument is.
That's the size of the master bedroom in my townhome. It's basically enough room for a small bed, dresser or wardrobe/chest for clothes, and maybe a (barely) partitioned toilet and shower. "Not great" is too positive to describe using such a space as a dwelling.

I look forward to learning more about "updating a model that's already been "released"." - If it could be as simple as wordpress updates (along with multiple ways to be notified similarly) - that would be optimal imho.

I believe many of these companies are keeping the models to themselves in an effort to stave off competition and try to be monopolies that can hope to get all the government cheese.

Unfortunately keeping the data to themselves in this regard is a disservice to the worldwide community in many unforeseen ways. Certainly they could keep contracts with big players just by providing the cloud computing powers and ease of setup, while offering updated models to others to use.

Maybe offer 99% accuracy to small site operators and 99.5% to contract API accounts or something.

It's more than just objectionable content for the net, it's other things too. Many apps and online connected services could benefit from running pics uploaded through a system that checks not only for nudity but also for age of people.

I could see adding some server space and cpu power to check images transferred for important issues like these - however I can't see sending all that data to third parties, sacrificing privacy of users while at the same time helping to make their proprietary model better without a stake of ownership in such.

Seriously this reminds me of facebook's "upload your nude pics to our system so we can notify you if someone tries to revenge porn share you nudes with third parties" - except that is people doing something consciously knowing they are sharing with fbook, it's employees and it's computer systems...

with these API calls, I would guess that most people who have their images run through them have no idea their pics are being shared with third parties, who are sometimes also putting the images in front of human moderators for further scrutiny.

I guess this kind of IP thing is happening with voice recognition stuff as well in many areas. At least there is more open source in that domain I believe.
The incentives are 1) professional responsibility; 2) the opportunity to participate in the direction of new research, stay abreast of the field, and maintain a high level of integrity; 3) young researchers joining the field benefit from the process, both as reviewers and authors.
I think it's strange since I can download software for MacOS anywhere. The only reason that it's accepted that you must use the App Store is because Apple was first to the smartphone scene.

Had Apple tried to force everyone into using a gatekeeping App Store after smartphones took hold, end users would've rejected it.

I got some clones of these made in China to save money. All in all, pretty happy. Although they really need a heatsink if you want to push 1A continuously, and the IC is so small it is hard to dissipate all that heat. One of them will push as much current as possible until it overheats and shuts off, but the rest seem fine.

I cannot wait for the day that the US seriously revisits the farming subsidies and agricultural practices we've adopted. Everytime I read about modern, large scale farming I'm a little more disturbed by the norms we're establishing. Surely there are better, healthier ways to grow food that are still economically viable.

I say the US specifically because unfortunately we seem to be the origin for almost all of the modern, disturbing practices that have become ubiquitous. We've been setting the standard and hopefully we'll make a 180 and start raising the bar.

Hello, author here.

Agreed that similar behaviour to the examples can be achieved in different ways.

The main aim of FifoLock is to provide a (mini) framework for writing more complex locks. The examples are deliberate in that they show how to create more familiar locks, as an attempt at a gentle introduction to the class.

Also, this actually came out of writing https://github.com/michalc/treelock, which uses FifoLock with a lock that has 4 different modes (as opposed to, for example, a read/write lock that has 2), which is the sort of case where I think FifoLock is particularly useful.

Also, I'm not sure if the example you give of the read/write has the same semantics as the meaning of read/write lock in the examples. For example, it looks like the version here, using asyncio.Lock(), wouldn't ever allow multiple readers, while the one based on FifoLock would, as long as there is no writer.

edit: tweaked the description of read/write lock
Appreciate the feedback :D.

It's a bit like saying that the paper on which the law is printed may not be produced by a private company, which of course, doesn't make sense.
I take your point, but there is a big difference between being homeless and being without income. Retirees are the most obvious example, but there are plenty of 'normal' people who don't have an income that basically get to speed and park illegally for free under this sort of system. Unless of course, we put in a minimum fine for everything and charge extra based on income beyond that. But this does nothing to help the poor and ends up just being a punishment for having a good job.

I also think people imagine the super rich having to pay huge fines under this kind of system, but it's the same problem as with taxing the super wealthy. Their income is actually very low relative to the wealth they are accumulating.

I can't remember the last time I've read a headline about the peer-reviewer that confirmed some groundbreaking finding.

Maybe it gives you the opportunity to network with higher-profile contributors to your field, if you offer to peer review their work (though to be honest, I don't know how the peer review process works, and if you can even "offer" to perform it for a specific paper).

The Bacteria Lurking in American Showerheads
There's an actual program, and a saas version. The saas version isn't worth paying for (imo) over using AnkiWeb unless you wanted preformatted decks, and the most up to date version of the algorithm.

I've experimented with using the website (mostly because I'm a fan of the software). It's mostly okay. I've been using Supermemo (the actual app) for a few years now on a daily basis. The app itself has a trial if you can find a download link somewhere, and I believe the site might be free if you import your own decks.

As far as lock in, I believe you are also locked in unfortunately. This would be another reason to go with Anki or another solution if you just want flashcards.
Thank you for the feedback :D.

to be fair every OS can and does do telemetry, say nothing about each software application calling back home in a similar way - such feedback helps speed up improvements however linux OS makes explicit notice of this and its simple to disable
I've only worked with professors in economics and political science but I'm under the impression that this is true more generally of academia. Some people do it to help advance the state of the field. Career incentives and standing in the field also come into play. As the poster above mentioned, a professor would be able to say more.

To respond succinctly to your comments: money isn't the only incentive in life, so it seems weird to not see "any incentive" as soon as money is taken out of the picture.
I would assume that in the US as with the UK with any implanted device/surgery the doctor/surgeon goes through the risks.

Not using a feature because it's broken by default is perfectly valid. All those style guides that mandate signed ints do so because someone got burned by an overflow that wasn't caught.
My understanding is the on-disk storage might not be delta, as tar files, but the transfer on the wire is... could be wrong, but I think they intentionally made delta-transfer a docker registry network concern? I suppose if you wanted delta storage on-disk that again could be an implementation concern, knowing where to pull and reassemble the bits into a standard image? Oh and it uses gzip compression on the wire and possibly elsewhere, again a form of delta compression.
I got burned by a similar scam with information changes in google. I was looking for a specific restaurant in google and used the given address to get there. When I got there I found out it was a different restaurant. I asked about the other restaurant and they told me the other restaurant had gone out of business. A complete lie.

I'm sure they hired a company to promote them and they used this trick to increase their customer base.

Never trust the company info google gives you without double checking. It's very easy for anyone to change the business info without proof of ownership.

That was one random school student's comments.

Meanwhile, keep reading:

"Its recent plan doesn’t include more than $35 million in city fees compared with an alternative project. It doesn’t have a traffic mitigation plan and calls for taller buildings, up to 240 feet, close to the height of San Jose’s tallest towers."

So, no traffic mitigation plan (essentially all traffic being dumped onto Wolfe Road there, with the rest dumped onto Stevens Creek Blvd) and no standard development fees (where are those low-income kids going to go to school?).

and

"Vallco’s SB35 affordable housing plan includes low- and very-low-income units, but not moderate-income units that are typically available for teachers."

Zero moderate-income units and only enough below-moderate income units to qualify for SB35 exemptions.
> its like saying sftp is delta transfer because you don't have to send your entire disk image every time

I see your point, but the comparison to sftp seems really off. Overlay2 [1] indeed works on whole file differences, just as sftp would do.

Additionally, I don't think making actual byte-level deltas would yield you much improvement on container size. It would also increase access time unless you keep a cache that doubles storage requirements per image. Dockerfiles primarily add files rather than change them, and actual changed files are often small.

European countries have an interest in cutting down on the number of cars on the road. The Paris climate accord means that we all have to drastically cut CO2 emissions. Also European cities are suffering from air pollution.

This means that governments invest very heavily in trains and other mass transit. Trying desperately to keep cities livable and functional.

Welcome to the future, where computers can generate dick pics for you.
I think that's overly simplistic. There are systemic forces beyond our individual control that pretty much force us to consume at irresponsibly unsustainable rates. Planned obsolescence is an obvious one when it comes to technology products. Fast fashion is another.

There are also many ways in which artificial scarcity forces us to consume more than we otherwise would. If things like handtools were "common" property, then not everyone would have to buy a hammer or drill for each house which they then only use once or twice a year. There are many ways this could be different but they are just not profitable so our current system won't allow it. In the past, for instance, even things like ovens were common property, fired up once a week for everyone in the community to bake their loaves in.
Several ideas:

1. Given a problem with people continuously ignoring the law, a simple serial-offender system should deal with it fairly. We already have that up here, with you having three "marks" on your license. Some offenses take a mark, with 3 marks costing you your license. Driving without a license has increasing penalty for repeated offenses, including jail-time after the first or first two offenses. We do not have the absurd concept of "bail", and with lifespans being roughly similar, poor and rich end up with similar pains if they are repeat offenders.

2. Given that very wealthy people being able to ignore laws appear to be outliers, with the average person not being able to do this, I would say that you could create special cases for these outliers. For example, average/rich brackets. Or even poor/average/filthy rich.

3. Just not designing laws that govern entire countries to deal with a few outliers. There will always be outliers, and people with enough money to get out of any situation, whether that is paying fines or paying good lawyers to wiggle their way out. There will also always be people parking illegally, or speeding. Hell, if I recall correctly, the Finnish government had stated that the speeding fines are important income, so you also suddenly end up with fines being necessary, rather than them being only a tool to stop an offense, which is absurd.

(And for reference, for #3, I am talking about outliers within those that violate traffic laws. A serial killer is obviously an outlier which laws should be designed for, but I consider this a very different case.)
Well, we ended up quoting a custom build with them, and it was slightly cheaper than the Strato Pi. I agree that pricing information for standard configurations should be available.
Read my lips: the rise and rise of photo-editing
At least in the social sciences, journal editors delegate papers to reviewers. Your first sentence also suggests that you don't know what peer review is.

Peer review is not the same thing as replication, which is replicating the results of a paper after it's been published (e.g., confirming some groundbreaking finding). Peer review happens at the stage before publication of the original paper. Researcher(s) submit the paper to the journal. The journal editor sends the paper out to some reviewers, who review the paper (this is the "peer review" stage). Pending reviewer feedback and editor approval, the paper is published.

Edit: also the "benefit" that rsa4046 refers to probably doesn't mean networking. AFAIK, reviewers are always anonymous to the authors (which can generate its own problems e.g., if the reviewer gets a paper authored by someone he/she doesn't get along with). The benefit being referred to, I believe, is that of learning to write better reviews, and having reviewed other's work, learning how to improve your own.
Claiming your listing does not let you lock it in the sense you are thinking of. It's also not very difficult to claim a listing that was already claimed by somebody else -- they will get an email asking them to challenge your claim, and if they don't respond you can take over the listing. That's how it worked a year ago, which is the last time I used it.

You can review edits in Google My Business. But Google will sometimes import a bunch of data from a data broker or some other source and bulk update your listings, which you then need to go in and edit again.

Google My Business is also very, very strict about rejecting addresses it does not think are real, which is a bit of a problem for businesses on newly constructed roads, or roads that were recently renamed. If their address normalizer rejects it, you just can't use it.

When you have a problem, Google's customer service is really, really bad.
Even outside of research, in most economies there's a lot of money flows that look like this. Visited Europe last year, it's crazy how many of them are both funded by government grants and provide services to the government. Unfortunately curbing that would involve even more regulation making everything worse perhaps.
