The white supremacists are thrown off Patreon because of what they do not because of who they are.

The problem is this: The power you talk of is arbitrary. People like Sargon of Akkad, who are not white supremacists, are being thrown off Patreon, while the media are giving them cover by spinning a narrative. This is the classic pattern of oppression. You vilify people with a label, which becomes meaningless as the label is expanded to conveniently cover everyone who isn't toeing the line. This is exactly what happened with "counter-revolutionaries" and those who engaged in "economic sabotage" under the iron curtain.

Their ideas aren't being suppressed.

Lots of people want to fund Sargon of Akkad, who is a center-left classical liberal. Patreon, though it is a "funding platform," refuses. That is not only an example of suppression, it's an example of this kind of dishonest "expansion" of labels with media cover through inaccurate and convenient narratives. It's an example of the kind of dishonesty which happens when people in power think they can control speech and thought.
So, as a UK resident, I'm torn here. On the one hand, many people would absolutely benefit from these things. It is appalling in our society how many people suffer from something as ostensibly simple as severe loneliness, which can cause significant mental and physical health problems. So yes, this sounds great.

On the flip side... Mental health treatment in the UK is currently dramatically under-funded and under-resourced. Waiting lists are stretched beyond belief, and obtaining treatment is almost impossible for certain conditions. (First hand experience - one fairly significant mental health condition, but - ah! Only one! We only have enough resources to even try and help people with two conditions - co-morbidity. Come back when you're worse!) So two things - how much of this will in reality be pushed in an effort to avoid prescribing more serious therapies that people genuinely need (but the system can't manage), and how much of this would actually be available? It's all very well telling someone with little to no means through ill health to go and take up dance, or learn an instrument, but is that really on offer? Will that really be funded and available in areas where currently there's an 18 month waiting list to see a simple counsellor?

(I thought I should pre-empt a possible reaction of "well, that's what you get with socialist/communist/etc. medicine - <death panels> etc." - there's no inherent reason for this other than poor management, under-funding and structural incompetence. It is definitely possible for the NHS to work well again, but right now, the fact that it doesn't is more political than theoretical. It would be like me pointing to the current shutdown in the US as evidence that governments aren't possible.)
indulgences turned out to be very unpopular on the other side of eurasia
At the bottom of the page are links to other pages of Hedges' work. There are a number (e.g., in London) showing single men living alone. Often pensioners (OAPs).

Perhaps your guess that the particular tenements in Glasgow were reserved for families is right.
Math joke (Richard P. Stanley)
I agree. I'm a long time intellij user, but now increasingly looking at eclipse and netbeans for exactly those reasons.
There are definitely systems out there whose clocks are not accurate to the millisecond. It's not healthy for systems to encourage false assumptions (e.g., that ids monotonically increase).
Hmm I'm always wary of those statements. The concept of "living in extreme poverty" is not a good way to measure progress in any sense. First because "poverty means earning less than x" implies that x needs to be updated and its not obvious how to do so; indeed it can be manipulated to push an agenda. Second because it reduces everything to money. You can make more money, but is your life actually improved? Sometimes yes, but surely not always. For example: millions of people have been relocated from the countryside to factories in China. They are now "lifted from poverty" according to that number. But now they live in smog-infested cities, stacked like sardines, working 12 hours per day, where before they had their homes and some sense of peaceful community. Have their lives improved?

In the end, you're judging the success of a system (capitalism) with a metric internal to that system. What does that tell you?

It's in fact so ridiculous a measure that a slave/indentured servant "earning" 5$ a day is considered a-ok in that metric.

EDIT: I'll just rememind that downvote is not a "disagree" button.
" wouldn't be surprised if the big tech companies started bussing in some of their contract labor outside of the bay. "

When I did a project with Apple in the 90s I often stayed late during my stay and got to chat with some of the cleaners that came in. A lot of them had bus rides of 2-3 hours each way every day to get to their job.
lol I think if you try hard enough you can think of other features of these cities that might be to blame.
This is a really well written article. It’s a topic on which I’ve had a hard time tracking down clear, concise information. So many articles are either fluff or way too technical. This is just right.

Thanks for posting!

I think there is a drain near the condenser to prevent this, if your car smells nasty after turning off your A/C you may want to make sure that’s not clogged. Also, if equipped on your car replace the cabin air filter.
> Yes, there is a gap, but that will be closing quickly.

Bitcoin is more than 10 years old. That is almost as old as 1st generation iPhones. How much longer do we have to wait to fix these deeply fundamental flaws in the stack?

> It's all part of technological maturation.

An alternative interpretation might be that Bitcoin is fundamentally broken and isn't a useable technology.
Because it's a compact and user-friendly form of specifying such formats. Some strange behavior in edge cases doesn't invalidate the benefits of not writing a new parser any time you need to handle some old representation of date.
So you mean there are people who will assult me for a few million?

Everyday i see guys in supercars around me, i never seen them being assaulted when they are clearly without security and they clearly have all that money.
The issue of human labor cost isn’t the whole picture as much as the TCO of an impoverished employee class such as high employee theft rates, lost work days from stress / poor nutrition / commute / lack of energy for exercise. Then there’s also the PR and legal necessary to avoid paying out fraudulent worker’s comp cases. There’s a lot of overhead that comes from treating employees like cattle that it makes me wonder if things may be better by just paying them more.

It does not need to be fair or balanced to accomplish their primary goal.

They do not need to care about edge cases - a citizen unfairly falling through the cracks is just as unimportant as any other citizen, so the gestalt effect matters more.
I love the idea of buying fishing days. Iceland sells fishing quotas, I wonder if one could buy them with the intention of not using them.

I've always thought the fundamental problem here is that I cannot pay to not have a fish caught. Maybe there are in fact ways around this?
I did not know what 're-targeting is'. So found a definition

"..
Unlike typical banner ads, retargeting ads are a form of online targeting advertising and are served to people who have already visited your website or are a contact in your database (like a lead or customer).
.." [1]

My general feeling is that technology needed for modern advertisement industry, and for law-enforcement/government/political online surveillance -- is almost identical.

No wonder, that companies specialized in technology to enable audience-specific ads, and 're-targeting' -- are the same companies that are looked for to supply/integrate surveillance technology.

I am even now connecting the dots with advancements of Image recognitions, deep neural nets, -- with the drive for better surveillance technology, under the cover of targeted advertisement (as face recognition benefits both).

I am also no wondering if much of much opposition/road-blocks to people using VPN (eg Google.com constantly asked me to choose bunch of pictures before I can use it, with VPN) --- is the negative commercial impact that VPN usage has, on targeted advertisement, and surveillance.

"I fucking hope he sues me", said Musk.

I'm glad he did, what an appalling thing to call someone on a public forum without evidence or track-record; and Musk doubled down also with further rants, now claims its all hyperbole. Right.
if Fortnite is a fad, is the moba genre a fad as well? Because LoL and Dota2 seem to still be going strong.
I don't like governments. I'm torn between geolibertarianism and anarchism. I don't like the authoritarian Chinese government, especially when it comes to censorship and free speech.

I want more transparency for everyone. I want citizens to know more about the government (if one must exist). Some people call it sousveillance, as opposed to surveillance.

Our efforts to hide from the government ultimately hinders our progress as a society. Wouldn't it be better to reduce the government and/or make it more transparent?
I think you're looking for a deep meaning that is not there. Video games are fun, period. The 12-yos that play Fortnite couldn't care less about dystopias.
Is the medical cannabis tax exempt?
Really? This doesn't stand up as a comparison. In so far as there are shitty unwarranted consequences for unwanted actions in the west it is similar, but that is human nature (and possibly even wider than that).

The difference is that china is implementing a centralised, state controlled system. Which will elevate the minor tyranny of some obnoxious policy in some organisation to an unchecked and magnified universal tyranny. This is precisely why we need checks, balances and distribution of power, because the elite minority cannot be trusted.

I don't think "golden age" implies no possibility of improvement. It could improve to a "platinum age", which is popularly thought of as more valuable that gold (even though it currently isn't). This is especially relevant to music, because RIAA sales certifications are well known, and a "platinum album" has sold more than a "gold album".

Or if you want something based on real word metal prices, it could be a "rhodium age".
The naming of the event makes it look like a silly way to get more work out of employees, but reading into it, it now looks like a clever way to give employees the latitude to tell their managers to fuck off so they can get some work done. Expected time spend on this 'marathon' is between 4 and 8 hours a day, and they warn Googlers not to push themselves too hard.
Yep thanks for that, they're popular here as well (as well as simple variants like a big coil of black plastic irrigation pipe lying on the ground).

In my case I'm trying to put all my investment into a heap of solar panels, as that's a more general purpose infrastructure.
Well, PoW setup is looking for a hash which mathches a given pattern, but in the traditional cryptography you are looking for exact matches. Or at least matches from reduced rounds, or very near misses which can be studied further to build up a full hash collision-
Maybe it's just me, but I'm not sure what the point of take home projects like that is. Like my first instinct for something like this is to Google it. Guess what happens when I do google "chat server in golang"? I get a bunch of examples. So do I just copy them/strip them down/combine the examples or do I try to code this thing from scratch with no examples? Guess which I would do in an actual job?

No, you're not a shitty dev. I'm sure given enough time you would have gotten it. Take home projects are weird. They are better than the whiteboarding imo, but only barely.
Related, from another article I've read recently:

> Jazz clubs didn’t have “no talking” rules back when jazz was a black popular music. (Charles Mingus and Nina Simone complained bitterly and often about people talking during their sets.) The sacralization/classicalization of jazz only dates back to the 1980s, when, for better or for worse, it became an academic music. On the one hand, it’s nice to go to a jazz concert and be able to hear everything. On the other hand, the music is not exactly the dynamic creative force it was back when it was being played while people smoked, drank and danced.
In that case, it would just be fines for violating their "code of conduct," a revenue stream for the government... nothing really changed. Bad&&poor people get poorer, might become less bad. Bad&&rich people might be "badder" because they can afford it. So, ended up with a society with really rich villains and docile peasants?
You have just made a $7M bet that you won't fuck up your opsec. You made this bet against the world. You are also betting that you have physical security that can handle the power of a Desert Eagle.
The problem with your hypothetical is it will never happen because the system in place works much better than Bitcoin. Our current system doesn't have the flaw that you have to distribute your wealth in hundreds of wallets or you get perma-fucked and booted into the street.
> It's also about tooling. I've seen many clusters being sold, but with no tooling to automatically build, monitor, secure and maintain these clusters, so you've got a DevOps team playing cluster wack-a-mole.

Pivotal's doctrine of how to use Kubernetes is explicitly multi-cluster oriented, but that's because we come to the table with tooling that excels at this kind of problem: BOSH.
38% tax when sold legally in the local market. Black-market local sales and exports still don’t raise much tax revenue.
But turing machines are theoretical concepts. The physical processors we have - are only physical approximations of a theoretical concepts - and if the argument was made for the view of "determinism" that I outlined - it would be about the physical processor, the physical world itself.

Paraphrasing, the theoretical image of an atom, as well as the set of atoms and other particles - is perfectly deterministic. But the chaos theory talks about the real world, not the theoretical framework.
The film Ratcatcher (1999) is about a boy growing up in tenements and dreaming of moving out to a new housing development.

The Scheme is a tv documentary about an estate in Kilmarnock. I don't like programmes like this, but it's not the worst of its kind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X6KfCYJx_g

Poor Kids (2011?) shows children living in poverty in the UK. It's pretty grim for one of the richest nations in the world. Note that austerity started only a couple of years before the programme was shown, and the "bedroom tax" and the benefit cap were introduced after this programme was shown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9aSp9bFmMg https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b011vnls

The funny thing is that YT itself has been using Halide to process all videos, perhaps as early as when that one was uploaded.

And anyone using Google Camera has been running Halide code, from Pixel phones all the way back to Glass, which took decent photos despite having hardware that, due to the form factor, was less powerful than the Galaxy Nexus that came out 1.5 years before.

"Do you think it would be meritorious to advocate for the preservation, cultivation, and careful stewardship of bananas? "

It would be less meritorious than reducing the suffering of animals.

"I don't want them to go to school and learn about extinct species that my generation wantonly destroyed."

They will learn about that anyway, whales or not. We are destroying habitat of a lot of animals.
Wow!

That machine is incredible.

I can't begin to imagine the amount of work it took to design and buuld sonething like that.

Also, the video is very well produced.
You could do a search on LinkedIn or just general web search for "career consultant" or the more popular term "career coach". I prefer "consultant" based on what I do and the level of service I provide. There are lots of people calling themselves "career coach" that are more about inspiring people (like a life coach) and less about providing actionable advice and solving real problems.

I do work for clients directly, and typically charge for consults on an hourly basis (which can be broken up into smaller sessions as necessary). My contact info is in my HN profile.
>You are by your own definition completely wrong. If the photographer is so substitutable and adds so little value like you argue, then they could have used anyone else including their own. Yet in actual fact they (and more to the point a clothing sponsor engaging in commercial advertising use) did not do that, they chose his.

If you go buy an apple at the grocery store you pick it out of a hundred others but that does not mean there is anything special about that particular apple. It's just the one you happened to pick out of the many of other equally good ones. And I'm sure we'd all be equally annoyed if some apple picker e-mailed us saying they normally charge 500 per apple picked but they'll settle for a 100 dollar donation in this case.
The fun part will be extending it to track and apply to foreigners, even outside of China.

It's a very small thing to make people second-guess a critical blog post or Reddit comment about China in case they ever want to visit or do business with a company that has any Chinese presence.
Yes, it has changed a lot since then. Most significantly, Valve did a ton of re-balancing, making stock weapons even more viable in regular play.

> outweigh any privacy concerns I might otherwise have.

What about concerns of other people or do you mostly do inanimate objects or selfies?

I suspect there are many people like me who feel coerced into allowing our private life being stored in public clouds by other people without ever being explicitly asked for our consent. Worst, I feel in many situations it isn't easy to modify behavior of others because of the fear of appearing "needlessly fussy" and and because we value relationships with other people more than the abstract, intangible and hard to quantify concept of loss of privacy.
Here's one way you might be able to make the case: If you require a web server even locally, then the docs can be installed as a single file (zip archive, SQLite database, etc.). This would eliminate the overhead of lots of small files on at least one popular desktop OS, speeding up installation and updates.

There would be no Fortnite if it wasn't for Brendan Greene aka PlayerUnknown, who is basically single-handedly responsible for creating the Battle Royale game genre. I see no problem in him attempting to make some money on his creation before a AAA giant comes in and sucks the air out of the room.
At that price range it'll be IPv6s and NAT'd ipv4. The v4s are specific port ranges (and to SSH). I bought a 5 pack multi country one recently to experiment with distributed stuff. :)

Except they don't make 32 drinks an hour for 7 hours straight. They might do that at the busiest times, but that's likely a minor part of their day.

Edit: Labor cost in fast food is typically about 20% and most places would consider that on the high side. Not sure how well that translates to coffee shops, but assuming a 100% increase in cost of labor, prices would go up about 20% to cover that. So a $5 latte becomes $6.
Useful OS will probably never append , when you see how long it took to create Linux, thousands of people that worked on it for a very long time and still it's not on part with Windows for desktop.
> Not when it's the bank or government who takes your money.

With Ethereum it was the core developers / top of the pyramid who stole wealth from the the DAO "hacker" who cleverly found a loophole in the "Code Is Law" contract everybody agreed to and used it to their advantage. The Ethereum devs, coupled with mob rule, clawed back all the transactions and literally stole the funds back.

I'd rather have due process provided by a government than mob rule.
Yeah, I mean, that I expected.

What I wasn't expecting, and still cannot wrap my head around, is how thoroughly ingrained the cultural avoidance is to learning about anything in that intellectual space. I would have expected that upon hearing about such a program, both the thoughts "This might be good" and "This might be bad" would occur to a person, and both be potentially investigated, even if only quietly and internally.

But instead, it seems as if any intellectual space that could be considered even slightly controversial is often avoided by reflex, far before you get the chance to have the "this might be good or this might be bad" thought.

I was going to give an anonymized example of the above, but out of respect for the person have chosen not to do so in such a public forum.
I agree poverty is a blunt measure, but literacy, infant mortality, poverty, life expectancy are all improving globally. By almost any measure life has improved dramatically over the last hundred years. It is no longer nasty, brutish and short for the majority, and the rural life people leave for factories is not an idyll, but instead often grinding poverty and early death with no way out. That's why they leave.
Why not an external drive for your photos? I have a 1TB external drive dedicated for photos, and a 4TB external drive for Time Machine. My internal disk and the 1TB external disk both get backed up to the Time Machine disk and to Backblaze.

Backblaze supports encryption and I'm pretty sure you can access your backed up files in the cloud too, but I haven't tried that.
They used P100 GPUs that have a peak throughout of around 10 TFlops. V100 GPUs, or the RTX 2080 Ti/RTX Titan, have north of 100 TFlops.

So it’d be interesting for them to update their performance figures with current GPUs. It likely would run at much higher frame rates.
