Initially I thought this was an appropriate and proportionate response. However, I eventually realised that doing so would be a tacit admission of acceptance of the extra-territorial ambition of the Directive and its application - which would be far worse, if we're truly concerned about global freedoms and rights.

The morally correct response, as an organisation outside of the EU in terms of its presence and activities, would be to ignore the Directive, just as thousands of other bits of local legislation are by routine and convention.

Unfortunately, Reddit is a subsidiary of Advance Publications, which I expect has physical operations in the EU and can therefore become subject to ransom locally. In which case, perhaps banning EU citizens in the EU from accessing Reddit is the most viable and proportionate moral response after all. It would mean I lose access, but I strongly believe that the European Commission monster must be tamed and cut down to size.
Maybe they’re supposed to be individuals, but the problem is that unlike real individuals, you made them up. You can’t learn anything from them that you didn’t put into them yourself. Only a real person with lifelong experience of being themselves can give you insight into what that’s like.
That's often due to PCI compliance which I believe mandates antivirus software.
I've been getting the impression that many areas of physics have been getting "softer", but have no direct experience. Even Feynman mentioned that physicists were discouraging replication way back in the "cargo cult science" talk.
这个 / これ mean more "this" whereas 那个 / それ or あれ mean more "that" (with a finer distinction in the Japanese). Their meanings are relative to the speaker - there is no absolute definite article. (I'll say too, even these relative specifiers were seldom used in classical Chinese.)
Does that camera have an SFP+ port out the back of it?
When I watch '4K' content on Amazon Prime Video, I can see huge compression artifacts. Now, I don't really expect to see great quality 4K streaming video on a 25 Mbps connection, but it'd be nice to have an option for higher bitrate 1080p instead of mediocre 4K.

I still haven't seen any streaming service look nearly as good as a Blu-ray and this is on a mid-range TV, from farther away than I should be with probably-should-wear glasses vision.
You’re not missing anything ; instanceof can be used to check prototype chain (class inheritance) but there is nothing similar for object interfaces (duck typing). And most Javascript objects are only loosely defined to conform to interfaces.
Fentanyl doses in micrograms I believe. A lot of addicts are addicted to the feeling of the injection and the ritual of it as well.

Heroin I believe doses in the tens of mgs, which is hard to measure precisely but can be weighed on a twenty dollar scale. You could distribute fent in the same way Lsd is on blotter paper. The big difference is you accidently get a hot spot of Lsd it's not fatal.

Many addicts aren't buying massive quantities at once either nor are they getting it from the internet.

> We built our system, called ML/OS, by porting the Standard ML of New Jersey (SML/NJ) implementation [6] to run on a PC using the OSKit. SML/NJ is a complex, Unix-based system comprising about 144,000 lines of code, in over 1000 source files. The run-time model used by SML/NJ is fairly exotic - for example, the system runs completely without a stack, using instead very aggressive heap-allocation and garbage-collection techniques to manage procedure frames.
Is McAfee really better than Windows Defender in this use case though?
If you have the resources to develop an internal company addon, you have the resources to build a firefox that accepts a different signature.
It's accidental. The problem with fentanyl is that it's so ridiculously strong.

So you're selling heroin and figure "hey, I'll cut it and make more money". You add something inert and then add a tiny bit of a fentanyl and oops you added too much, now it's poisonous for users to take a "normal" dose.
When pirates react faster than government you should think.

You're unfamiliar with them because there aren't any. At least none that I have seen which have any kind of history of research or applications. See my discussion with Gary here: https://twitter.com/AndrewKemendo/status/1068908423956312071

Ng wasn't even really saying it in a way that is explicitly making the case - at least not enough to cause this kind of fracas.

It's a bit unfortunate really, and I'm not sure what's driving the animosity or aggressiveness around this issue. While I agree with Marcus, I don't think anyone actually disagrees - largely because nobody is arguing what he is trying to address. Marcus has built a strawman and is tilting at Windmills a bit.
I have no social skills, no network, no ideas worth throwing money at, I despise startup culture, and I'm too much of an idiot to successfully fool anyone into thinking otherwise.
I think you'd have to fix the educational system in the US before you could have meaningful direct democracy. Any form of democracy, be it representational or direct is only as good as the people that make it up. The more directly you empower the people, the more directly their opinions and ideas will be expressed in the country's laws.

The average person is woefully prepared to judge laws on their merits, be it economic laws or otherwise. They're arguably better prepared in Switzerland, but still not great compared to experts in the field. If you look to Africa, you can see what a mess you can make when your average person is not educated well at all. Democracy is often described as the best of a lot of bad options, but there's also a big variance in how well it works.

I've seen setups like this but have never really understood the point. You're either left sitting far away and scaling everything up (reducing the resolution) which defeats the purpose of having a larger display or you're exposing your eyes to the constant light of more screen space than you can actually see and putting up with the eye strain of looking at a 1:1 virtual-to-physical pixel ratio. It seems to embody the stereotype of American consumer logic, i.e. bigger and more is always better.

Fentanyl only exists on the dark web because of the Chinese labs pumping it out. Wake up! The Chinese government policy is to look the other way if you aren't selling the drugs inside China. They see this as just revenge for the British selling opium in China. This is directly responsible for thousands of deaths in the US. Execute the scum bringing this into our countries!

What can we do about this? Direct trade punishments for allowing this to happen. Hit them the only place they care, in the bank account and this would stop Quickly!
Change my view: This only works with small, homogenous populations.

Yeah but these companies are not paying the taxes, though it's a separate.
Some people - OK, one guy, using two accounts, which is highly ironic considering the topic - have suggested that getting rid of the upvote/favorite counts would help. I disagree. Such things can be useful. We even use those counts here, and for all the many faults with the specific system used here its overall effect is slightly beneficial.

I think getting rid of retweet/re-share/etc. buttons is more likely to help (though still no panacea). When it's so easy to amplify someone else's message, lazy people do exactly that. Even fewer than before - and there were never enough - add their own personal thoughts. Messages that are directly targeted at their audience's ideological center get amplified far more than messages that are more neutral. The result is more conformity within groups and more polarization between them. Then bots and dedicated troll armies (I was recently targeted by one) make it even worse. As with disease, slowing the spread of harmful and hateful memes might keep them from reaching epidemic proportions.
Go’s an OK language but

1) This is not the forum to bring it up

But they can attribute that directly to an ad spend. For instance the old joke is that the definition of a podcast is two guys talking about tech sponsored by SquareSpace.

I’m assuming that SquareSpace by knowing what percentage of the discount codes come from different podcasts can estimate where to spend thier money.
But your eyes can’t see the whole screen. Even at 40 degreees you lose detail at the edges.

Typescript has flags for turning on more strictness, and I highly recommend using them. For example, strictNullChecks for your example above.

There’s a “strict” flag that you can use to turn on most of the more specific strictness flags all at once.

It is my first time hearing of Instacart. Are they that popular to the extend that they deserve comparison to Amazon?
This sort of thing is going to cause a huge chilling effect in the medium-term as it becomes more widespread. Every nuance of how you act or look is going to get collected by websites and cameras and used to make conclusions about who you are (accurate or not), potentially stored forever.

One can only imagine how China will use these approaches with their planned 570M cameras with facial recognition.

edit: number of cameras was an order of magnitude low, corrected based on: https://www.businessinsider.com/china-facial-recognition-tec...
The analogy is like "both a human and a baseball launcher can throw a ball, so they must be the same." People really need to let go of the terminology around machine learning that leads people to really believing that it's close to actual cognition.
The next step would be for china to invade and force a change in US laws to allow fentanyl
I'm not disputing global warming. I am disputing the impression of a 97% consensus. And this is a great example of what I'm talking about, you're trying to call me a conspiracy theorist, and making up stuff about what you think I know.
What advantage would instacart have over amazon? Outside of being the first mover.
What I wrote was influenced by the fact that I had taken a "Psychology Replication Quiz" which I'll link to below. The quiz presents you with the thesis of a study and asks whether you think it will replicate. When I took it the first time I got ten questions correct out of ten. I took the quiz again a moment before writing this comment and got nine out of ten (I think I was hurrying this time). The average person taking the quiz gets seven out ten correct.

The depressing part about this quiz is how easy it is. You just have to think for a moment if what they are describing matches what you know about human nature. Some statements just feel very intuitive and likely, and those replicate. Other statements seem quite wild and abstract, and those don't replicate.

I haven't seen a list of the 28 papers they looked at here, but I'd bet it is similar. Some of the findings are incredible (and not reproducible) while others are intuitive and reproducible. I'd encourage you to take the quiz below and see if you feel the same way about the results as I do.

Hmm, uBlock failed to catch this ad. Maybe a "sponsored news" filter list is in order.
... which would be exactly what we did right?
Of course it is. "Oversimplification" is like literally the definition of "statistical model" in layman's terms. Statistical models are useful precisely because they cut out almost all the details.
What you're "missing", I think, is that Typescript's types only exist at compile-time, so they aren't available through runtime operations like instanceof. It's like a more extensive case of Java generics erasure.
So it's great that Reddit exists because now you don't have to have hundreds of thousands of people maintaining these small websites and have hundreds of people maintaining one website.
The explanation there is an unenlightening mess, but then so is the wikipedia article.
I guess the get a lot of customers through the whole foods channel. I would think that diversifying to Trader Joes, Costco, Walmart, Target etc... would help them.

Reddit is not a small business.
It's funny, as a Canadian, Amazon is its own worst enemy.

Hitherto there weren't many competitors that could match, or even compete with, Amazon's stock and delivery speed. Walmart is close, as is Costco, but Amazon is where it's at.

For quite some time Prime was... Not a good value for us. Then we got Video and Music, to a certain extent, and it's a fair value if the content you want is there.

But the problem, and why myself and many peers have cancelled prime and started shopping elsewhere, is that the basis of trust in the quality of their stock has fallen away completely. The amount of garbage with four stars or more is scandalous, and the likelihood of receiving a knock off product is too high. Opening a box to find a product similar to but different from what you intended to buy is all too common.

Amazon, get your shit together before you irreparably harm your brand.
What does anything we do today have to do with the actions of people two hundred years ago? Grow up!
For types like those which are outside your control you can use type guards[1]:

if (value == null) {
// TS knows value is null, doesn't let you access value .length for example
} else if (Array.isArray(value)) {
// TS knows value is an array
} else {
// TS knows that it's an object here
}

However, having types like those in your own code (e.g. things like X[] | Y | null) is probably an antipattern and should be avoided. Using discriminated unions[2] is much better.

It is not but you'll see different image depending on your eyes position when looking at higher resolution image. Think of it as 8k image resampled to 4k but at different offsets. You'll effectively see more detail when moving your head than looking at 4k image.
It’s been done with optical imagery for a while, but this is probably the first SIGINT.
To have any kind of meaningful and successful career today, you need to be either really good with numbers (in some way) or really good with people. If you have both, you can go a really long way. If you decide to focus on one, you need at least a base level of skills in the other.

Because that IS antiquated password advice.

1. In terms of “strong passwords” it’s better to use the words “paraphrase” which if they get past 4 words are almost always stronger than traditional “passwords” humans actually use. It’s a nitpick, but using the better term leads to better results in my experience. “Do I need a new password? No, you need a new passphrase”

2. In terms of rolling credentials frequently and on some time period, NIST specifically recommends against that now.

I have been working on these web ui components in the past few months. Now they seem to start working. I was not a front end developer. The reason I was determined to write these components is that I couldn't find anything similar with consistent behavior on desktop, tablets and phones. Now I decided to open source it. I'm hoping to get some feedback. I'm trying my best to make consistent behavior across devices and OS's, but my devices are limited, so please let me know if anything is broken on your devices. Thank you!
Pirates, and maybe terrorists, and definitely lots of ordinary people spuriously prosecuted under anti-terrorism laws.
Alibaba, somehow does it still. It seems to me it is more like Amazon is adapting to Alibaba's moves than the other way around. For example, their move towards opening up to Chinese dropshippers is totally is a preemptive castling maneuver against Alibaba getting more foothold, and them lobbying for America to quit UPU is that too.
In CA, a bar has to buy their booze from a state authorized liquor "wholesaler". They can do some fancy math to figure out if your cash flow matches up with your usage.

Who is “we?” People who look like me, a white person, who did mean things two centuries before I was born?

Speak for yourself.
Stereotypes have some limited utility, because people who believe that stereotypes have value reward you for conforming to them, and punish you for deviating from them. For example, they may only market a product to you if you conform to a stereotype they have of people who would use that product, instead of materially analyzing whether the product would be a good investment for you and how to present the argument, which is harder than just going "you look like one of our customers, but your look isn't complete, let us fill that hole."

Of course, if what you're selling is a look and not useful for anything else, this is a good way to market, but if your product is useful, you can do better.

It's also important to add that CA's techniques didn't work.
It's important to keep in mind that while it seems to be approached as "simulating" the effects traditionally achieved with mechanical effects of a camera, it has a basis in fundamental optics. Creating a sense of focus in a portrait with a camera lens is analogous to how the optics in our eyes work. Thus, this particular effect is more natural than some of the more Photoshop-esque techniques.

A good example of "what else" might be the color pop feature in the Google Photos app. It uses the depth information to selectively decolor the "out of focus" portions of the photo: https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/05/11/google-photos-color...
China (to be clear, we are talking about the PRC/Jinping regime, not the Chinese people) is a menace to freedom and stability in the free world. They steal our IP, infiltrate our companies, and place their population in concentration camps in the world's largest police state--meanwhile, our companies like Google and Microsoft continue to work hand in hand with the CCP regime to develop products customized to suit regime needs and rules.

No, you aren't just disputing the consensus. You are claiming that climatologists "shut critics and skeptics" out of the field, so we shouldn't listen to them. Yes, they do shut out pseudoscience, as do other legitimate sciences. That is different from disagreement on scientific facts. Climatologists disagree about very fundamental things all the time.
