That's a great point.

I was under the impression those were just examples. The article says that the biggest difference from the american model is the timing of consulting with the fact checkers. As far as I understand, in the american model the fact checker is often responsible to verify sources and details, as described in The New Yorker job description:

Yes, for people making bold claims about a major public health threat, I don’t see why I shouldn’t. The subtext is that this is a field that I’m very familiar with, but I’m willing to have someone show me evidence that I have missed. It’s hard to keep up with it all.
> But the scandal itself tells you a lot about the Malaysian government's credibility and honesty.

So if it's scandal, you believe the media, otherwise, you believe the opposite.

What's the logic?

Yah free will believers like to think they have choices/decisions in the system. The reality is no, when you become the person you are now from every preceding event making you the person you are now. I would only see the possibility of persons having responsibility or free will if they decided to live this life before birth and with beforehand knowledge of how everything would play out. The illustration of how a deterministic system is similar to clockwork with every part being moved by the whole clock is helpful. If something outside the system does something to the clock and makes the parts believe the reaction has no deterministic essence from the clock, such as quantum theory may show.. well it still doesn’t change everything being outside the control of the clock but is just hidden variables to the clock system, inobservable until it happens and would be like god deciding to alter the determanistic system slightly.

> LD50 of nicotine in humans is 6.5–13 mg/kg orally.

I think the intention was about normal usage of nicotine.

Nobody would deny that nicotine poisoning is a thing which is why we get nice things like child-proof caps on e-liquid bottles now.

--edit--

Also pretty efficient at getting through the skin so nicotine poisoning also happens when people using higher concentrations (the DIYers mixing their own) have a spill.
Some alternatives are neuromorphic, heterogeneous computing and advanced packaging. Neuromorphic relies on neural networks, and one of the interesting things there is lower accuracy computing to speed things up because you have a whole network of sensors to provide context and collective accuracy. Heterogeneous relies on different types of processors and memories scattered around one chip, which could include GPUs, APUs or even embedded FPGAs. Advanced packaging uses different chips packaged together and connected through bridges, interposers or in the case of monolithic 3D, TSVs between different metal layers. (Here's another link on the same site: https://semiengineering.com/big-changes-for-mainstream-chip-...)

These are definitely major shifts, not marketing. The difficulty in continuing Moore's Law/Dennard scaling at 7nm and below makes it imperative to use alternatives. Instead of 50% improvements in power/performance at each new node, it's now 20% max, and probably significantly lower in some cases.
Why am I not surprised :(

(sorry for the low effort answer)
Nope -- I didn't take an axiomatic approach, or give a set-theoretic construction of different sets of numbers. Instead, I take basic arithmetic and algebra and properties of real numbers as a starting point. I do dwell on things like division with remainder and prime decomposition.
Sure. It's two sides of the same coin though. In time the collective winds up settling on a new paradigm based on an aggregate series of individual choices that reflexively effect the markets they are acting on. It's a process that naturally plays out over time.

I think we're already seeing it play out in slo-mo over the last 6~8 years. It's becoming more and more noticeable that things are shifting now.
This is a horrific idea.

I thought I am immune to this kind of exploit thanks to my technical knowledge. Not so, nearly. I once found a good price on skyscanner.com that directed me a site called BookingHouse, that in turn used a "man-in-the-middle as a service" company called mistertango.com that proceeded to ask me for ... my e-banking credentials. I had to slam the mental brakes hard to avoid typing out my credentials on this page, and realised how vulnerable you are when you are conditioned to following instructions as fast as you can (don't want to lose those sweet-priced tickets!).

This mistertango.com service even goes as far as "interactively" asking for your 2nd factor code! I thought it was surreal.

Notified BookingHouse, SkyScanner. No reaction.
So is Khan academy. The key there is non-profit.

It'd be repetitive to observe how insane that is so I'll say it's going to be hard to beat interests with that much money.

Maybe if prop 10 had passed there'd be some glimmer of hope.
Refusing to offer patronage to alternative and competitive services, while bemoaning the lack of alternative and competitive services is a baffling position, surely you can see the irony?

I would argue that fact checkers should send a copy of the publication to everyone who was interviewed, and should be the first line of contact for "I didn't say that."

Having so much success though can also mean that you don't have as much drive to make a great product because you're already set. Not that it must be the case here, but passion is hard to maintain when it doesn't really have much effect on your life.

Also, if the site can be run completely independently (and it looks like operational costs are rather low) then why even take VC in the first place? Surely the effects of hundreds of millions requiring a return could easily be predicted as eventually causing problems?
> Worth noting - Amazon has nothing to do with this. They simply pay premiums for Sedgewick to administer the claims. The employer typically doesn't tell the insurer to go after the workers, since in this case it is Sedgewick who's footing the bill.

You are vastly understating Amazon's role here. Sedgwick is an administrator (TPA), not an insurer. Amazon is big enough that they will be self-insured for workers' comp claims. It's Amazon's money on the line for claims, not Sedgwick's, so Sedgwick will do whatever Amazon tells them to do for claim processing even if it was reckless and stupid.

One of the items listed is looking into blocking all tips to unverified publishers altogether. We hear people's concerns and are going to look into it. In the meantime we've dropped all creative assets (photos) for unverified publishers and are also adding a clear alert saying unverified publishers are in fact not-participating yet in the program. Screenshots in the link. Thanks for your feedback and for caring about this being done properly.
My understanding is that Jesus was talking specifically about the moral law, that which is "written on our hearts."
Software is roughly the way we take ideas that cannot be made in a physical form and put them out there in the world. The idea that 'software' will some day stop transforming the world is just as weird to me as saying physical matter will some day stop transforming the world.

That said, most of us have pretty plain jobs. And most of what we write isn't that impressive. But still, just like you can invent a completely new gadget (that is likely useless), you will always be able to invent a completely new piece of software (that is likely useless).
yep, very much agree. I wish everyone would read that. It increased my ability to feel empathy toward those who I disagree with, even strongly.
Sure, but the overall point is that as soon as you introduce money people will spend inordinate amounts of time to game the system. Paying for high scores will mean people doing anything they can to get upvotes unethically that will eventually hurt the community, similar to what's happening on Quora right now.

“Then there is the argument why should the rest of the country pay for something that will only be used in the coasts or densely populated areas?”

This isn’t a real question. You’re making up a reason that you haven’t proven exists.

You could be right. But this is not a convincing rebuttal.
A common use case might be something along these lines:

While the `entry` API provided an ergonomic, more performant way to do this, this is an example of a common pattern one might expect from other languages that, until recently, did not compile.

NLL and other ergonomics improvements have helped a lot with these paper-cuts.
It's easy for fact checkers to check many facts while unconsciously developing a predictable pattern that leaves a certain kind of facts routinely unchecked, leaving an opportunity for fakesters.
This is a fair question that's being discussed internally as a consequence of the feedback we're hearing from everyone.

Brave is about to push up a number of hotfixes to our code that address people's concerns. You can read about them here: https://brave.com/rewards-update/

You'll see an express commitment to consider whether to completely block out tips to unverified creators/publishers. That's not a thing we could fix overnight but we're acknowledging it might be the best move and committing to looking into it.
Google Ventures, 2018 A Year In Review
This seems pretty believable. A lot of picking systems have a light that tells you which position to grab something off of. (This is called "pick to light".)

So you're just reaching and grabbing something off a shelf and throwing it on a conveyor. It's a pretty simple operation that won't take all that long.

If your algorithm is any good, you should be about to group them together so that a picker can grab several nearby things one right after another. (It wouldn't be good for efficiency or the worker to make them move around more than necessary.)

It is manual labor, so it's going to be physically demanding. I'm sure they probably push people as hard as they feel they can get away with, but this rate seems like something most able bodied people could achieve. But I'm sure they're very tired and sore after their shift is over.
Bad Blood is a must if you work in tech. Incredible page-turner, and shocking at the level of deception they employed.

I also got hooked on Endgame by Frank Brady, about Bobby Fischer (the american chess prodigy who quit chess and became a reclusive antisemite). It's a biography and doesn't discuss his matches with any kind of depth, but was still really interesting to read.
He's fun for sure. Also there are actual philosophers like Jaron Lanier with higher level and more poignant analysis of the same problem that I can't recommend enough as at least a good read.

I looked road markings up earlier because it was also my first guess, but everything I've seen indicates they just use plain glass microspheres in reflective paint and such.

For the roads themselves, more reflective might be a bad thing anywhere that sees heavy snowfall. Less sunlight absorbed=colder roads=more snow buildup and many other related problems.

None of these uses would need to be kept secret though.

It is a self-help book rooted in Jungian theory, widely discredited in modern psychology. His understanding of modern and postmodern philosophy is only deep enough to convince readers with no knowledge of those topics that he knows something about them.
It is well known that the stock market is extremely difficult to predict, because any model that has an advantage quickly loses that advantage once it is put into practice.

Real estate, however, has not traditionally had the intense sort of algorithmic focus that the stock market has had. Are there still opportunities to profit based on obvious patterns, and if so, why hasn't this generally been done already? Lack of available of real estate data perhaps? I would think a hedge fund would have no problem contacting a few hundred MLS for the necessary listing data though.

Interesting. I read "The Operator" this year by the SEAL that shot Bin Laden, and it was really good.
The responsibility as democratic citizens to be aware of atrocities elsewhere, because the polticians we elect deal with foreign countries in which they take place, isn't cherry picking a definition. That's directly related to what democracy is. They also said

> Real freedom, and real democracy, come from an educated and aware populace

Would you disagree with that? If not, would you agree that part of being educated and aware is being not myopic and navel gazing, and caring about genocide elsewhere? If so, what are you even arguing?

If not, how can one be educated and aware, yet so shortsighted and selfish? Do you know an example of a person you would consider educated and aware, who shrugs off atrocities elsewhere?

> But you shouldn't define democracy to simply exclude outcomes you deem unethical

Who did though? Someone said "real democracy" and you don't even ask them what they mean with that. While I don't know what they meant with "real democracy", if I had used those words in that context, I would have meant that you can't really have values such as free speech, freedom of assembly, right to due process -- in spirit, in daily practice, in the socialization and character of people, not just on paper -- and then just turn them off when people outside of your jurisdiction get brutalized, and not care at all. It's like I would say "a real feminist" doesn't just care about their own jurisdiction, but also about the plight of women in third world countries, and so on.

With democracy especially, this kind of half-assedness then comes back to bite us, too. I don't want to derail, but I'll just say "arms exports, allies who are kind of assholes, or in turn allied with assholes, refugee crisis".... not to mention global warming and the projected hundreds of millions of refugees that warming oceans could, probably will lead to. Caring about that stuff and about democracy elsewhere does benefit me, too, "in a globalized world". Just like helping another person can help me in my own life, since that life takes place in a world wherein that other person lives as well.

> If I am not for myself who is for me? And being for my own self, what am 'I'? And if not now, when?

-- Hillel the Elder

That guy probably didn't have "democracy" in mind, but still. If I believe in democratic ideals, human rights, and all that, I might be cool with, say, a monarchy that's not a tyranny, if people elsewhere want that, fine... but I MUST be against people just being murdered. I certainly must be against my own government being in bed with murderers. Otherwise, I'm not a "real" democrat, I'm not "really" for the human rights I myself enjoy, but just paying lip service.
We've just published a post detailing the changes we're making to our UI in response to all the great criticism and feedback from the last 24 hours: https://brave.com/rewards-update/

These changes will make it very very clear when creators are not participating in Brave Rewards and will ensure no creator assets are being used.

In response to your other comments, I feel good assuming we're somewhere in the general brand feel of the EFF and Firefox. Brave has never once told people to speculate on the price of BAT (we get asked to do so about once a day and refuse because that's not what we're about). Also, yeah, we've shipped a browser used by 5m people a month around the world. There's a long way to go still but it's a start.

Thanks for your feedback.
It sounds like you know about this -- what could I google to find out more? Is it applicable to the whole EU or just certain countries? All industries or just some?

I think it's what they're breaking rules for that makes all the difference. Helping a few writers that pump out amazing content seems to benefit everyone and is worth it if there are tight controls on exactly what's allowed.

Right now the system seems to be breaking rules that hurt writers and readers alike, with no discernible benefit other than creating tons of ad inventory and SEO inbound traffic.

For reference, this challenge is part of FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC), in which they build robots the size of 18” cubes. FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), which builds much larger robots (120 lbs, often as tall as people) has its competition announced in two weeks. Many teams that are part of FRC use Raspberry Pis or other microcontrollers to do vision processing and it’s super cool to hear that FTC teams are doing it as well.

Both are very exciting and great opportunities for high schoolers to get involved in STEM (as well as being an amazing chance for adults to get involved in mentoring a team). I can’t recommend it enough.
Blown away. To me the following(rephrased) stood out:

We are currently good at manipulating molecules and cells(machine code/hardware level) but if we understand the algorithms(software level) which control the large scale form and function - it would bring in radical change.

Hi Jacquesm. We had no intention to scam people. We shipped a confusing UI that should have been better thought out.

I read this too. I loved the first 30%. Couldn't put it down. After that he gets into modern history and inserts his own opinion and politics into the facts, which I found distasteful and distracting. He's also very hostile to religion. I'm agnostic so I agreed with most of what he said, but it seemed so unnecessary and again distasteful and distracting.
