But how companies enforce them is the real culprit.

This is a failure of our legal system. You can challenge a non compete in court and, depending on a few factors most heavily weighted towards if you can afford a good lawyer, you have a real shot at a win. However, this means you and only you are free from the shackles of this non compete.

Other people who signed a contract with this same exact illegal clause in it are still beholden to it, unless they have the resources to fight it (legal knowledge, time for a court battle, money to pay for lawyers). The threat of a lawsuit is enough to dissuade most people, who lack these resources, to back down from a winnable case.
I would do the following.

1) Train a model to predict what happens next given an input
2) Each frame, predict the next frames given all possible inputs
3) Choose the input that maximizes uncertainty

I would expect this to learn to avoid deaths relatively quickly. It doesn’t need to be good at knowing what will happen next, just better at recognizing specific dead ends (e.g. spikes or holes).
Chronic pain is also closely link with opiod abuse.

I downvoted you because the bill explicitly says it excludes systemic changes that compromise security. Apps will not have systemic spyware, only specific users can be targeted.

Open source apps like Signal would be extremely hard to compromise since no one is going to allow a backdoor commit.
I'm confused about the distinction. How can a worker be forced to join a union in the absence of an agreement between the company and the union to only hire union workers?

If you are thinking of "closed shops", companies where the union has a security agreement with the company and the union is free to deny membership to a person (thereby denying them employment), those were deemed illegal everywhere under US federal labor law.
I've used Motorola "Moto G" phones since I've had smartphones. My current phone is from 2015. They are low-cost, but seem well made. Never had any problems with the hardware. I've been happy with them. The downside is they don't get updates over the long term.

I could afford an iPhone, or a flagship Android phone, but the value proposition isn't there for me. Mobile just isn't a very important thing for me. I use it for basic communication with family and friends, navigating/maps and that's about it.

When I was given an nca, it was on my first day and I was put in an empty room with the materials and told I can't take them from the room. I tell you, when you're needing the job to provide for your family, there isn't much you can do there.

EDIT: fortunately, the company made a very niche product so it would be hard to argue anywhere was competing with them.
Who's going to sign off on a "reasonable exit" that realizes millions of dollars in losses? Better to drive the value all the way to zero while looking like you're trying.
Could this be a threat to open source software? If they require developers to insert backdoors to decrypt data, and the company uses open source software for security, how do we know they won’t attempt to weaken it? Most open source projects don’t have the resources or manpower to review every commit, especially when the person submitting is prevented from disclosing their true purpose and under threat from their government. This could be a threat to companies all around the world that use OSS.

> So the ability to text back directly from my computer (with a full size keyboard) is absolutely the killer feature of Hangouts integrating the Google Voice/Fi phone number.

Another Google Fi user here. To be clear (since this was a shock when I learned it this morning) - you can text from your computer with a full size keyboard with Android Messages now. It's just more WhatsApp-style where it's paired with your phone, so you need to have your phone on and working. It also isn't integrated right into Gmail. So it's not as nice but it's got the "killer feature" of texting from your computer (which, I agree, is killer) at least.
I understand the french-are-liberal trope, but, as an American, I view countries like Canada, France, and Germany as way farther left than the US. Economically, and culturally.

Colors are not wavelength. Color actually has three dimensions that can be coded as RGB, HSL, LAB, or using degenerate coding in four dimensions with CYMK.

Visual geometry has three dimensions, making vision a 6 dimensions thing (plus time, but that is added to every sense).

You point still stands though, since AFAIK smell has many more dimensions (not sure if they've been thoroughly counted).

Politics wakes strange bedfellows. There is no single coherent definition of acceptable behavior. All corners raise hell for what they consider unnacceptable. PC isn't exclusively left-wing.
Potentially, although I think it could still have caused plenty of controversy.

It's one thing to use a competitor's product to demo your _equivalent_ product, but to somehow imply that your product is a step forward (smaller, lower power, faster, cheaper, etc) is quite different and even if you manage it in some form could still be grounds for calling it fraud.

I find your comment very misleading.

There is no indication that this arrest is related to U.S. policies to sanction foreign companies for selling to Iran.

Rather, the arrest is far more likely related to "US law [that] prohibits exports of certain US-origin technologies to certain countries" (from nytimes article). Huawei purchased certain technology from the US with the promise not to sell it to certain countries like Iran, and then proceeded to shamelessly violate the agreement.

Without laws like this, sanctions are far less powerful, because any foreign company not affected by the sanction can act as a middleman between the origin country and the sanctioned country.

What the UN International Court of Justice and European Union think about US sanctioning foreign companies that do business with Iran is completely irrelevant, since this arrest is not related to that policy.
There are a growing number of censorship and free speech issues facing the internet- this is not one of them. This society is heading to the toilet if a mainstream website used by children cannot decide that they don’t want to host porn on their product. Why is this even controversial?

From the article: lots of behaviors that are necessary to advance within the game do not help increase the score until much later

I found this passage very interesting, as it seems like the definition of the benefits that can extend from delayed gratification. That optimizing for a local maxima isn't always the best way to get the best global maxima. Maybe algorithms that can encapsulate that will be useful in getting corporations away from the habit of chasing the highest short-term gains at the expense of long term viability.
>You have subtly moved the goal post from "far left" to "left-wing". Nice!

No I have not. Putting words in my mouth despite them contradicting what I actually posted is not productive.

>Your definition also happens to fit Donald Trump

Yes, Trump is a New York liberal.

>If Donald Trump is far-left

He is not far left, he fits the definition of left wing. He hasn't tried to enact laws to force equality, so he doesn't appear to be far left.

>have you considered that you may be a fascist?

How would that follow? What does fascism have to do with the liberals being liberal? You do realize fascism isn't right wing?

Wow, that takes me back. I had fun with the one. Thanks!
Thank you! The first thing I did when coming to this thread was search for posts containing "Robert Forward", as any discussion of negative inertial mass is incomplete without mentioning his work. So, kudos.

Anyone interested in the implications of negative mass should probably check out Timemaster, a sci-fi novel by Forward. Negative mass can hypothetically do some interesting things. Things such as allowing lightspeed travel by matching negative mass to positive mass in equal amounts, leaving a non-photon object with rest mass = 0, or producing energy by accelerating negative mass to high velocities.

Unfortunately, Forward is much better as an idea guy than he is as an author. The scene where the hero travels back in time and has a threesome with himself and his wife is a bit awkward...
Mutex is for resource locking, semaphore is for signaling. This means they have some differences in implementation extending beyond simply limiting semaphore to get a mutex.
Grear work man, love seeing other young people building cool projects like this, it really shows the good the internet has done for us.
There are not many commercial applications because it is usually much cheaper to implement in hardware and flexibility is not important.
> It's not a matter of being "geek" but a matter of control our personal datas and environments and being able to produce contents, not only consume it. With mobile crap we can consume easily but we can't produce essentially nothing and we can't control our data. So they are absurd devices.

Have you thought about it this way: maybe you're the one that can't create on these new devices? Just like my parents can't create things on a desktop, because they haven't mastered keyboard and mouse usage and desktop UI conventions. Kids can create quite impressive things on mobile devices. Maybe not things you'd like or prefer, but mobile devices can definitely be used for creating things. For some things they're even better than desktops, because of the more intuitive touch based interface.

Yes, mobile devices are more limited from certain points of view, but as photographers say: "the best camera is the one you have with you". Availability trumps flexibility and power for most people.

And regarding the consumption/creation dichotomy: it's not entirely false, but it's not very important either. Most people in most moments of their lives are not creators. I make things but I'm also passive at least 50% of my time. On top of that, many people don't even have a desire to be "creators". Maybe they want to help other people as doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc., and digital content creation doesn't interest them.

No, not even close.

You can use it if you want to, but it has never been popular in C++, and in 20 years I have never encountered a problem that could be solved by using it, so I have never used it. And in C++ bind is part of the functional programming paradigm, as it does currying, not much to do with classes.

Bind in JavaScript makes your shoehorned collection of attributes actually behave like objects. We can see JavaScript's bind used everywhere.

Truffle 101 – Development Tools for Smart Contracts
Jet engines are conceptually simple and very low maintenance but still very expensive. Difficult materials and high precision. And use a massive amount of fuel.

It is fascinating to compare with an electric aircraft. It's not so clear to me what the economics would be like as a whole.

It's not just fuel but investment and maintenance cost.

To me it might make sense in a short high frequency operation. Like to some island. Not as a business jet that mostly just sits around.

If you're wondering why this kind of thing happens all the time in Australia, the late Donald Horne summed it up beautifully in the 1960s:

"Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second rate people who share its luck" [1]

Australia has many intelligent, brilliant people. For some reason, the design of our political system results in almost none of them getting into Government. This awful, fundamentally flawed law (literally only passed into law because our opposition was terrified of being called "soft on crime" in the media over Christmas) is just one in a long line of disappointments.

In many ways Acorn was more important to computing than Apple. The hardware was super elegant and each successive machine improved on the previous generation tremendously and the software was absolutely world class. Just studying the firmware of the BBC Micro made me a far better programmer.
Ugh. It's not by default "illegal", unless it provably violates Part 15.

Has a Part 15 assessment been done yet? Have we analyzed power emission levels to assert that this thing is indeed 'breaking the law'?

Has this device been checked by the FCC for spurious emissions during normal operation? Did it pass, or is it chinese jank uncertifiable garbage?

Edit: C'mon downvoters. If you make a claim that it's "Illegal", you need to have some sort of proof that its the case. And I'm not immediately seeing it. Further research? Sure.

This threat to free and open source software isn't new. Governments have been trying to sneak vulnerabilities for a long time now.

What is new is an army of people who will now be forced to make a choice between making and submitting destructive patches and facing penalties and jail.

Incidentally, all of these people are the ones who are subject to Australian law. I feel sorry for them, but I expect that, as an effect of this legislation, many people will stop accepting submissions from these people to keep their software secure - be it proprietary programs or free software.

OTOH, I was in the storage industry until recently, and HD capacity increases were always welcome. That is because we were a bandwidth play, sold on the basis of density and capacity. Hello backup and archive. That is frankly where most of HD storage is today, 40 drives sitting in 4U is still a few ten-thousand ops per second, but it has a few tends of GB/sec of bandwidth too. So, if your access patterns are long linear read/writes then HDD's work just fine. Even for midrange IOP applications, if you burst a couple GB from disk to a SSD cache, its possible to absorb a lot of IOP's.

Also, rebuild/scrub operations aren't really an issue either if your running RAID6, and your system is sufficiently designed/over provisioned to deal with rebuild/scrub operations happening in the background. If your IOP limited OTOH, you likely have a problem.

One could say similar things about Stanford, and yet Theranos was created by a Stanford dropout.
"China’s courts must firmly resist the western idea of judicial independence and other ideologies which threaten the leadership of the ruling Communist Party, the country’s top judge was reported as saying by state-run Chinese News Service."

"People’s Courts at all levels must disregard erroneous western notions, including constitutional democracy and separation of powers, Chief Justice Zhou Qiang was reported by the news agency as saying at a Supreme People’s Court meeting on Saturday."

Source: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-policy-law/chinas-t...

That said, rule-of-law doesn't imply anything about the sources of law. In China a Party edict may be law just as much as legislation passed by the nominal legislative body. What rule-of-law demands is consistent and uniform application of the law, whatever the source. Judicial independence may be sufficient to achieve that, but it's not strictly necessary.

Most Western democracies don't have the strict, tripartite system of government as the U.S. Judicial independence in Europe arose organically as a de facto separation of powers, just as it did in ancient Rome. Over time leaders and governments figured out that things went more smoothly if they refrained from interfering with judicial proceedings, especially when you have a high-status judicial class that self-polices (where the social status of judges is dependent on them staying above the fray of lowly personal and merchant affairs, and that social status sufficiently substitutes for material wealth that there's little incentive for corruption). To a large extent judicial independence is more normative than anything, dependent on executive and legislative restraint and more general social expectations. Such norms could in principle take hold in China even with their single-party system.

Arguably such norms are taking hold. It's just that, like with poverty, they're starting from a very low point. Depending on how you want to spin it, either they haven't come very far or they've come tremendously far.
Definitely. On the other hand, would this have been prevented if the desiscion to increase carbon taxes was taken through a referendum? I suspect many of the people that are currently rioting would do so even if the no-side had lost a referendum, especially if they are stuck in filter bubbles reinforcing the idea that everyone around them share their opinions.

That's also the point of the article, but the author blames it all on Facebook not preventing populist bubbles, when the main issue is that the entire industry has a problem with bubbles.
