Sorry for the plug, but since others are asking for an introductory resource, I wrote a short course on UI Design myself not too long ago. They are just 17 short tutorials: https://www.commonlounge.com/discussion/d5bae026ef6e4f949e63...
I've had a pretty good experience running MacPorts instead of homebrew. It's easily been the best package management experience I've on a non-Linux OS.
In what status are you joining the startup?
It's not disqualified for not being simple, it's disqualified for not making testable predictions. Given two theories, neither of which make testable predictions, the simpler one (and the one that has been studied more thoroughly) is the more reliable.

Otherwise, why not just say that the missing mass is unicorns? And the energy driving the accelerated expansion of the universe is the energy of their love? There's no shortage of radical explanations for dark mass/energy. The scientific community takes them seriously to the extent that they are compatible with past observations and make testable hypotheses that distinguish them from other theories.
As far as I remember, one of the main problems with DNT is that most its users actually didn't enable it intentionally (because there are browsers that enable it by default).

I am on H1b visa (my I-140 has been approved since last 6 years by my present employer.) I have notified my current employer and there is no conflict of interest. Do I need any approval from USCIS to work on the new startup?
I think it's well-understood from the start that website terms of service hidden away in a tiny, low contrast font link in the footer have no teeth, and would be generally ridiculed and ignored by the vast majority of users.
Yes, you are. You chose to follow the design and build a system you knew would be abused. This mindset is what got us here to begin with. YOU ARE AT FAULT.
The company has been around a while and their engineering team (from Oqo) is supposed to be pretty good. They're on the Nth generation of laptops so all the teething issues should be gone.

What you describe is called freedom of contract, which has the problem that it's the opposite of free when you have inequal parties. For most people contracts have a take it or leave it character, so there needs to be government regulation, to ensure freedom for them.
The parent comment suggested "sit down and ask me to show them what I was doing", not "regularly play and become good at the games they play"
There are a few things:

1. Sovereign countries are permitted to care about whatever they want, for whatever reason they want. They can enact any laws they wish, protect their border however they wish, and grant anyone the right to work in their country based on whatever reason they may have. When a country is not granted the right to permit (or not permit) someone from entering/working, they lose a part of their sovereignty.

2. How would a country enforce its own tax laws without a formal entry/authorization process?

3. How would a country enforce international tax treaties without a formal entry/authorization process?

4. Working abroad, without any kind of work visa, would make it incredibly easy to evade paying taxes in your own country.
Video games, esp. the ones that kids are into, are consumer items - they are made so that the experience is always relatively easy and rewarding. Pursuing hobbies such as drawing or playing an instrument requires much higher level of dedication, which is great for building character. Games in moderation can be for some entertainment and escapism in an otherwise balanced life, but let's not forget what they truly are - a chewing gum for the mind.
Yeah it works both ways, I know what can and can't be saved so I know if you can pause immediately or not. If not, the end of the game is fine and if so I expect it to be paused PDQ. I also give 5 or 10 minute warnings so they dont start a new game.
Hi Peter. Thanks for doing this. I am working in USA on H1 visa. Can I open a startup in India and continue working here for my employer while I work in nights on building my company. And, can I also register another office/company here and get developers here for my startup?
Unfortunately, I really cannot begin to understand what you're talking about. What country is it in? What city? What kind of people are involved? What kind of jobs are that low-paying that two jobs are not enough to live? Why don't they move to a better place? So many questions. In any case, it's all anecdotal evidence, so is there a solid, unbiased study that describes this?
This reminds me of the kids I knew growing up whose parents gave them little to no freedom. They always ended up being the craziest when parents weren't around.
Then how are your kids passing their classes taught in Spanish, if they aren't learning any Spanish?
Never had this problem. How did you install/how do you launch it? Does it require root access for some reason?

This is very misleading. Patients are seeking out this treatment from independent clinics that do not take insurance. They don't need a referral. The biggest consideration is patient ability to pay a lump sum up front.
It depends what you mean by "trustworthy". The brand has existed for a long time, primarily as a vendor of gaming accessories. They have been making laptops for a few years now.

There are certain companies now that are very much interested in answering the question of "trust" with more explicit criteria. One is https://puri.sm/ and another is https://minifree.org/ - the trust concern there is having an open source firmware boot process. Depending on what your needs are behind your need for trust, this might be closer to what you're looking for.

You are missing important details. The fundamental building block of AMD is the CCX: CPU Complex. AMD's design has 2-CCX per manufactured die, and then they glue dies together. Each CCX is manufactured with 8MB L3 cache + 4-cores.

All of AMD's chips are combinations of this "Zeppelin" die. AMD Ryzen is 1xdie, Threadripper is 2x or 4x dies, while EPYC is always 4x dies per chip.

Threadripper is 2-dies of (4+4)x2 == 16 total cores. The 2970wx is 4-dies of (3+3)x4 == 24 total cores (1-core broken in each CCX). Ryzen 2600X is a single die of (3+3) == 6 core.

The EPYC 7371 is the "most broken" of them all, (2+2)x4 == 16 total cores. But each 2-core CCX has the full 8MB of L3 cache to work with still, so it ends up being a good performer anyway. And I guess with so many cores broken, they can send a lot of power into the part and ramp up the GHz.

In short: the 7371 can command a low price because its technically an incredibly defective design. Of the 32-cores which were attempted to be manufactured, only 16 of them passes quality control. AMD then configures them to have a high GHz and... what do you know? It performs pretty well.
When I was a kid, I would sneak out of my room at 3 in the morning to play Diablo. There's not a whole lot parents can do to police kids' online activities who have a burning need to do what they want to do despite parental involvement.

I remember many years ago trying to explain to my father that I can't "just quit" as there was someone else on the other side. He didn't believe me and took a few seconds to watch. This was a 1v1 style game (starcraft brood war). Typing out "hello" into the chat prompt was met with "shut the f--- up and play, fag" from my opponent. He was actually an online friend. I was maybe 12. My father got the picture, but he yanked out the dial up for a while.

Sort of... gaming is fairly structured play. Unstructured play for younger children, especially creative play with others, is developmentally advantageous.

Gaming isn't "Bad" -- I'm a game developer as well as a parent -- but it's probably a bit over simplified to suggest that it's just another activity. It's not better or worse than painting, for example, but it's important to recognize that it is characteristically different and as a parent it's your responsibility to be intentional about how those differences impact your family.
Well said.

I would also argue that concerns over crops taking up too much land are somewhat misplaced until we reach a point where we at risk of not having enough farmland to feed the population. When we reach that point, only food that can be grown in ultra-dense (calories per acre) ways will be affordable, and other foods will be luxuries with a high premium.

Until then we are enjoying our relative luxury of plentiful land, and can enjoy luxury crops and meat for cheap.

Although this harms the environment, nobody starves to death because of this current practice- all those who currently starve to death do so because of distribution problems /abject poverty.
Ok, but consider the case in aggregate. The first case, or abortion case, is ethically dubious. But consider if this technology takes off and is poorly regulated and done badly. The aggregate consequences to me are worse than the first case.

I'd rather cull a few elephants than try to bio engineer elephants to survive environmental catastrophes, with the possible broad reaching and irreversible consequences on the wider elephant gene pool and environment.

Not saying abortion in case of genetic defect is a light issue, but I'd rather the cure not be worse than the disease.
I went to China after I repeatedly hit the Bamboo ceiling in the US. Luckily my parents forced me to learn Chinese as a kid, so I was able to network with the people there.

no, watching a few rounds of Fortnite or having your kid show you round their Minecraft world does not require "extremely high" amounts of time and already gives you a useful insight in what's going on. Nobody is asking you to become competitive in a game, or even just play if you don't like it. And your second paragraph is a complete non-sequitur.
Estonia is very open about skilled immigration.
"Looking at her work, knowing that she's documenting real people "
That requires context outside of the work though? (how do you know it is documentary?) Your example of Mapplethorpe wouldn't require that clarification.

The point I was trying to get to (badly) in my original post was that images like Lange's wouldn't look out of place in either a newspaper or an art gallery. That's a problem because you don't know if its supposed to be 'real' or not. A film like district 9 despite blurring the boundaries is clearly 'art', in film there is a division between 'art' and 'documentary' which the film plays with, but it can do that because it clearly isn't real.

"The core of what I'm ultimately trying to convey, is that art, can be anything"
Agreed, that's where it gets messy. 'documentary' should try to inform though? 'Art' may try to inform, or may not, so its important to know the difference.
Then you should wait until the I-140 has been approved and the I-485 has been pending 6 months before leaving.

>>Why do we want a population size that requires people to cut back on quality of life?

If you can show me how eating meat directly correlates to a better quality of life, I'll be gobsmacked.

You may enjoy eating meat, but that doesn't mean it's making your life better/easier. Besides the nutritional side (which is complex, but let's just agree that you can make cases both for or against eating animal flesh as helping your diet and wellness) the agriculture industry is responsible for approximately 9% of US carbon emissions and livestock account for about 3% all by themselves[1]. Changing that could possibly affect your quality of life (assuming you aren't planning on dying in the next 10-20 years before the impact of that starts mattering).

Overall, eating meat is at best likely a net-neutral on your quality of life, even including how much you love eating a burger.

I think you missed my point and the discussion on Wikipedia. You seem to be assuming that essentially all regulations are correctly aligned with the public interest. If that were the case, you'd be correct that compliance costs would (in an efficient equilibrium) be correctly internalized, merely excluding inefficiently small companies from the market [1]. However, this is not the world we live in. Uncountable historical examples, and the massive size of the corporate lobbying industry, are clear evidence that companies often shape their own regulations to their benefit. So on priors it's much more likely that Microsofts public call for regulation -- which is just a particular form of lobbying -- is in their own interest, not some pure expression of civic duty.

[1] Of course, we are not automatically in an efficient equilibrium, and there exists worlds where the reduced competition due to barrier to entry create costs that are larger than the benefits of the regulation. But I'm happy to put that scenario aside.
I'm surprised nobody countered you on patent law immediately. Shenzhen's biggest advantage for a R&D guy like me is that nobody cares about patents. Just come up with ideas, copy ideas, remix, whatever... it doesn't matter because whoever has the best product for their market will make the money. It can also serve markets better when vendors with patents refuse to give customers what they want. The iPhone clones letting you swap your battery easily are a good example.

People are so exceptionally bad at making arguments. He wasn't saying this at all. He was, in fact, saying the opposite--that the economics shouldn't matter and that China has been deserving of the international community's ire for a long time already.
Hi Peter,

My co-founder and I are on an F-1 visa currently using OPT and about to request the OPT STEM extension. We've talked with a lawyer and she insists that we should add a US Citizen to the Board of Director to establish employer-employee relationships. She says that otherwise, this could get us in trouble if we ever get audited or petition another type visa.

Our questions are:
1. What are your thoughts on this? Is there an alternative?
2. What document would be necessary to add/revise (other than the agreement for the individual to join the board)?
I think the names and URLs are not matched up correctly. But other than that, yes.
In my view "DNT" just increases the ability to track you.
There's also a lot of situations where updates can break custom themes or other custom code. Sometimes it's an old plugin that is left not-updated that causes a break or a hack and the site is broken. Many times these are setup and look nice for the client, by someone who is not maintaining any longer.

Then the site breaks they go online looking for help. This is not always a wordpress fault, sometimes it's a plugin issue for example.

However with the Gutenberg thing being forced in, I expect there will be a lot of broken custom themes and lots of people without backups. If their site is set to auto update core, there may be lots of work in the coming weeks.

I'm glad WP is not abandoned, but again (for the umpteenth time) wish new features were added as plugins and not forced into core. Akismet is added in backend as a plugin for people who want to use it, but it's not running by default during an update (as far as I can remember) for example.

At least automattic had notices in the backend dashboard warning about a new editor coming - not sure the notice warned that it may break some custom things - not that the average client would know that they have a custom thing.

Should be an interesting few weeks ahead.

Maybe, but stuff tends to erode and shift a lot over millions of years, possibly smoothing over evidence to a degree where we wouldn't be able to recognize it today... on Earth. However, AFAIK the moon is fairly stable, so if there were prior civilizations, they would have to have been far less advanced than we are. Otherwise they would have surely left evidence of their existence on the moon.
Which course did you take?
Yeah, because we all know that your average user default position is "sure, track me however you want". Just like their default is "sure, scam me however you want", because they didn't explicitly check a "Do Not Scam Me" checkbox.
Very interesting post - thanks for sharing it.

> because there are browsers that enable it by default

Can't speak for others but I do not enable it because doing so could lead to me being tracked as the majority has it disabled. This is also the reason that the tor browser also has it disabled.

I am not aware of any popular browsers that enable it by default in this day and age.
This is because on by default is against the standard. The only real standard around DNT is the Tracking Preference Expression[1] which says how to declare you comply with DNT without saying what compliance means. It isn't exactly a preference to not be tracked if the decision was made by your browser for you. Roy Fielding committed a change to Apache to ignore DNT on IE[2] as a result.

Another good example of "compiler as a service" is the Roslyn compiler for C# (and also written in C#).

What is interesting is that Roslyn was a complete rewrite compared to the original C# compiler (which was written in C++ and couldn't power an IDE, so the tools like Resharper had to implement their own compiler front-end, essentially). IIRC, the ability to evolve the language was also a factor.

It seems that as the language matures, there comes a point where tooling (and further evolvability!) becomes important enough to justify the huge undertaking of rewriting the entire compiler. I wonder when will Rust reach that phase...

Python bytecode is a pre-processed form of instructions to a Python interpreter, such as getting the function with a specified name out of a Python library and calling it with certain Python objects as arguments.

The point here is to run PyTorch code without having a Python interpreter, and without having to run slow Python code.
