You can't turn it 'off', you can 'pause' it. That's a linguistic difference, sure, but it is quite telling that there is no respect at all for a users desires even in the language that is hardcoded in. It's as annoying as 'not now' for 'no' or '10 different things you should know about "x"', when you really should not.
> there are three orders of magnitude between $10K and $10M

Sure, but you're comparing apples and oranges. Almost 2 of those orders of magnitude disappear when you change $10M of assets into a few hundred thousand dollars of annual income.

A lot of the rest goes away when you notice that not worrying about finances "ever again" includes an awful lot of expensive things you don't pay for day-to-day or even year-to-year, such as the dental work you're putting off.
We have lots of ways to process and learn from data already. ML may make some things easier, but we're ready to learn more things right now with existing tools. Getting the data is the problem.

I agree. I think DoH should be put on the edge of the network, using something like dnscrypt-proxy.

I don't think it should be put in the browser. It would actually made my setup less private, since I use DoH over tor.

Though configuring the http servers (like printers or whatever) and/or putting them behind a proxy on a sparate network, if they are sensitive/not configurable, should be done too.

Yes, for a tiny fraction of a second as it exploded. Its pressure would far beyond what any material could withstand (and magnetic confinement does that change that, as the outward pressure has to eventually be carried by the magnet support structure).
It's interesting that StackOverflow is mentioned. They make no secret of the fact that they set out to kill Experts Exchange - they recognised early on that locking up content was going to hurt their longterm prospects. They also recognized that traditional online advertising wasn't going to work for their kind of content and pursued other monetization strategies to supplement it. Which is why I'm surprised that the founders of Quora continue to beat down the same tired path that has killed so many startups before them. Do they seriously believe that what worked for their previous company is going to work for them at Quora. For a platform that's all about discussing big ideas they seem surprisingly bereft of them on the business side.

From the my understanding, if you can explain your reasoning, then a deep learning system can in principle learn how to explain its reasoning. If it couldn’t, you couldn’t either.

I think they used it because, in that little space in the middle of the article, vertical space is more precious than horizontal space. So they traded off a little of one for a little of the other.

Why does it feel less intuitive than regular bar graphs? I thought the criticism of bar graphs was exactly that people substitute area for height so the visuals are misleading.
I'd go further its a shame that projects like Ruby-on-Rails, Laravel, Phoenix, etc do not have a "SaaS" bundle with an idiomatic way to have a SaaS business.

There are all kinds of nuances to running a good SaaS business that the platforms could provide a good starting ground for if the people who built their businesses on those platforms re-invested into it.

For instance: including separate DBs for users so they can be pseudo-anonymized throughout the application and deleted from the user table (GDPR request for instance). This allows your primary DB to be un-affected and doesn't require you to remove that person from all back-ups with surgical precision. Unless you're aware of those types of concerns - you're unlikely to build it on your own.

They looked at this. It's grossly uneconomical as a power source.

"In a 1975 review of the various Plowshares efforts, the Gulf University Research Consortium (GURC) considered the economics of the PACER concept.

I agree, the language is annoying and they've also been guilty of dark patterns for getting users to re-enable it.

I really don't get Gary Marcus' fundamental problem. He ends the essay with "All I am saying is to give Ps (and Qs) a chance.". But who exactly is this aimed at? Surely no one is being held academically ransom to Deep Learning. If Ps (and Qs) is a better approach then do the research and publish the results. Instead he just seems to whine about it on Twitter all day and attack people who are actually "doing the research and publishing the results."

We went 100% LED back in March 2014 with Philips CorePro bulbs and haven't had any issues. Either they don't have these issues, even back in 2014 (they were certainly highly regarded at the time), or perhaps my wife and I just aren't sensitive to this flickering.

Edit: Incidentally every single bulb (15 of them) is still working too, we haven't had any issues with them failing.
Good points, i forgot about the GDPR entirely.
Here is an idea for online advertising. Use IP and text based contextual targeting. No stalking required.

Stalking everyone and building increasingly creepy online profiles to target better is an abuse of basic human privacy, if you stop to think about it, and completely unethical and takes your hurtling down the path to a surveillance society.

The only reason its even possible because of the lacuna in a new space and laws catching up, and when they do, it won't be possible. The idea that making money makes everything ok is a primitive and fundamentally antisocial ideology. And if everyone thought like that would end civilization as we know it.

Bhagavad Gita
Chapter 16: The Divine and Demoniac Natures
TEXTS 13-15

The demoniac person thinks: "So much wealth do I have today, and I will gain more according to my schemes. So much is mine now, and it will increase in the future, more and more. He is my enemy, and I have killed him; and my other enemy will also be killed. I am the lord of everything, I am the enjoyer, I am perfect, powerful and happy. I am the richest man, surrounded by aristocratic relatives. There is none so powerful and happy as I am. I shall perform sacrifices, I shall give some charity, and thus I shall rejoice." In this way, such persons are deluded by ignorance.

Purport:

The demoniac man knows no limit to his desire to acquire money. That is unlimited. He only thinks how much assessment he has just now and schemes to engage that stock of wealth farther and farther. For that reason, he does not hesitate to act in any sinful way and so deals in the black market for illegal gratification. He is enamoured by the possessions he has already, such as land, family, house and bank balance, and he is always planning to improve them. He believes in his own strength, and he does not know that whatever he is gaining is due to his past good deeds. He is given an opportunity to accumulate such things, but he has no conception of past causes. He simply thinks that all his mass of wealth is due to his own endeavor. A demoniac person believes in the strength of his personal work, not in the law of karma. According to the law of karma, a man takes his birth in a high family, or becomes rich, or very well educated, or very beautiful because of good work in the past. The demoniac thinks that all these things are accidental and due to the strength of his personal ability. He does not sense any arrangement behind all the varieties of people, beauty, and education. Anyone who comes into competition with such a demoniac man is his enemy. There are many demoniac people, and each is enemy to the others. This enmity becomes more and more deep-between persons, then between families, then between societies, and at last between nations. Therefore there is constant strife, war and enmity all over the world.
Building a Timeseries Database Optimized for Scale and Read Speed (Interview)
Imagine you invest in a hedge fund, and get some amount of returns back. But then, years later, a lawyer comes and tells you to give him the profits because the fund was illegitimate (without you knowing this) and therefore they don't belong to you.

This is exactly what is happening to all these people.

Doesn't this feel unfair to anyone else?

I found fingerprints and dust on my recent Apple MacBook Pro purchase, underneath the peel-off wrapper. It was not a refurb, was bought originally from Apple and it did indeed have a 2-day wait in a 'shipping hub'.

What is the correct way to regulate this?

The problem is that, from small business to mammoth company, there is no codified, unified, agreed upon manifesto when it comes to handling data at any level. A "Constitution" of sorts that explains the rights and / or wrongs of the data usage of the average user. Somewhere where a user can look at a document, see which company falls where on the spectrum, decide if they are comfortable with the sharing of that, and actively signs off on it. As an addendum, it's also important to think, while my for example, email data might be shared, it will enable certain benefits that I sign off on like Google providing me flight details, etc., but it comes at what expense.

You'd get a wide spectrum of those who couldn't care less to those who are tin-foiled, but no matter where you fall on this spectrum, you'd at least know which software does what. If that manifesto-like document is broken, consequences would be maintained.
Wow! I must leave a useless thank you note. I would never have thought of that.
They way the money is being recovered, seems, from suing the investors whose money did not get stolen, and taking the early profits from them.

That also included funds that invested into Madoff's scheme (knowingly or unknowingly that it was illegitimate at the time).

"...

Picard filed hundreds of lawsuits to “claw back” phony profits from a wide range of customers, including individuals, families and estates that invested with Madoff for years. The trustee also went after offshore “feeder funds” that collected cash from their own customers and funneled it to Madoff to tap his unusually consistent returns.

…"

is anybody else reading this differently?

Because this was a Ponzi scheme, this seems to be the only way to 'make fair' so to speak. Are there other ways?

This seems to be unfair to the investors who did not know the scheme was illegitimate. They lost opportunity to invest into somewhere else, it is not like any other investment was unprofitable at the time.
It’s interesting to think about whether it really matters. The text is the same either way. If you judge a book on the words on the page, it doesn’t matter much how they came to be there, so criticising ‘her’ work on different factors seems irrelevant.
A more generous interpretation, that does not require buying into the generic, unactionable cynicism that everyone is corrupt, is simply that new laws require neat, easily comprehensible and emotional stories to be enacted.

As examples I would cite federal hate crime legislation, enacted after a particularly abhorrent lynching of a gay teenager IIRC. Or the current change of approach to Saudi Arabia’s ruling sadists: of course their industrial slaughter and engineered starvation of children in Yemen is the far larger crime, but the smoking bone saw of Istanbul just grips us far more viscerally.
The only thing that has really changed is that now more combinations of ``race'', gender, sexual orientation, age etc are heard, and that the canonical tuple is being criticised.
I wish I could get all my money back from investments that went bad. These guys were really lucky.
You're certainly right, but that doesn't change my point that, by just looking at the code, Haskell seems to have the better solutions for the problems.

This conclusion is clearly unfair because the author tried to port simple Haskell solutions to Perl.
It's not better by all objective attributes. The attributes that have improved may be the most important ones (and God how I hated those FBI warnings), but Netflix customers complain about two things: Time spent browsing the library, and that they're unhappy with what they actually select (which is obviously partly their choice, partly Netflix' UI).

Put differently, I've worked for several streamers. One of them explicitly mentions its small library as a feature. Just 30 films, so you will not spend twenty minutes looking for something to watch. Those 20 minutes are a feature and Netflix is worse than many DVD shops were in that respect.

That's not the author's argument at all. Even the subtitle of the article says "We’ll need both deep learning and symbol manipulation to build AI.".
If the investment went bad due to crime you might have a chance of getting the courts on your side. That's what they're there for, after all.

Whereas in the past, all books(+) were written by white guys, plus a few women writing under male pseudonyms; and this situation was called "not political". Writing books about non-straight sexual orientation was simply banned - or, up to the famous Lady Chatterly trial, any sex at all. The last police raid on queer fiction in the UK was on "Gays the word" in 1984. I believe there are still incidents in the US and other places where angry parents try to get books banned from school libraries.

(+) to a first approximation, in the canon of western literary fiction, up to about the 1960s-70s

The lawyers don't seem to have had to prove that the investors knew that the fund was illegitimate at. My understanding is that the fund was regulated so the assumption should have been that it was legitimate.

>Humanity makes progress when removing illusions from society and being rational. Society shouldn't be punishing persons who were unfortunate by the universe. Society should fix the problem of what resulted in a person having an undesired outcome and then rehabilitating the person back into society. Same goes for social, health, and financial problems.

So if you believe in group selection has a large role in how society is shaped and will evolve then perhaps society's best interest is only to rehabilitate the troubled person only if the expected cost is lower than the expected reward. If you don't believe in group selection is that crucial then maybe it would be apparent why people like to punish if you take a look at game theory and experimental results with public good games. Keep in mind you are also making the mistake of assuming society has some sort of telos, or that moralism realism is true. So in that sense, if you ask me China's government seems very sensible in several policy areas because it doesn't give a shit about individuals.

I think one need to understand that those kind of things have been said about western capitalism/society for a long long time, even under appalling injustice, segregation etc. Its purpose is to comfort the privileged, not necessarily to be true.

The underlying pattern has been there for even longer of course, e.g. Bertrand Russell wrote this in 1932:

In the past, there was a small leisure class and a larger working class. The leisure class enjoyed advantages for which there was no basis in social justice; this necessarily made it oppressive, limited its sympathies, and caused it to invent theories by which to justify its privileges.

I managed to injure the epithilium on both eyes and developed corneal lesions after a particularly bad bout of dry eye. I spent more than two weeks at home, hunkering in the dark due to photosensitivity, without any pain medications. The pain was intense enough that it felt like needles going directly into my eyes, with radiating pain that wrapped all the way around my head. With antibiotic eyedrops and therapeutic contact lenses, my eyes were able to heal, but for a time I was at risk of blindness. I sympathize with anyone who has chronic pain, especially the psychological aspect of facing a life severely diminished.
