Ah, I wasn’t aware. Thanks for the correction! :)
It seems unfair to claim that anything is "unacceptable" in free software. If you're not paying for it then be thankful for whatever you get. No one is forced to use it.
In the US, banks are not their own banks - if they screw up big time they rely on the US government to insure/print dollars to make up for their mistakes.
You are right it is an outlier and some would say not ideal. It is transparently a breakdown of rule of law into realpolitik given constraints and the redundant levels of powers - from what is fundamentally bad law and consistent failure to respond to facts on the ground. It brings to mind the old bit of legal philosophy about unenforceable laws breeding contempt for the law in general.

The Federal government can technically roll up and enforce the laws federally at any location they please but they don't have the budget or manpower for it. Unfunded mandates can't be enforced upon the lower levels of enforcement and they depend upon them for cooperation. They could technically have thrown the bulk of their enforcement budget into an early adopter but that would be playing whack-a-mole as others could crop up and openly defy them while they are busy there - all while 49 other states are complaining about there being way better uses of their resources than replacing every vice squad in California.

The federal government caused the problem in the first place in their adamant refusal to acknowledge reality with Schedule 1 classification - not just in assigning it to marijuana which trivially has medical uses but in that the very category is a tautology. We don't know if something has medicinal use until we try it in every application. For all we know even something horrific like krododil may be very good chemotherapy for treating specific kinds of tumors. Weaning off of heroin may well be the best approach to beating addiction - it is already accepted for nicotine in general practice! The specifics don't matter so much as the general point that Schedule 1's very existence is an outright tautology and illogical dogma.

They could have avoided the massive backlash and much of legalization movement's momentum being a serious thing by making Marijuana schedule 2. This isn't even something radical, not even decades ago - you have been able to find cocaine in ENT applications throughout the country perfectly legally given that there really is no better substance despite the known downsides.

The whole thing is fundamentally a failure state on the law. It is technically a solution in that it prevents enforcement of bad laws but it really highlights the systemic dysfunction and creates greater inconsistency. It is a matter of debate if being able to have this is a good thing or not.

I can think of one similar issue as well however that is even lower. The Sanctuary City "issue" (an emergent solution that some don't like) is a similar disconnect of high-level dogma colliding with and failing to respond to low-level reality - any significant urban police force knows they would have to be extremely stupid to have a zero-tolerance deportation policy when they depend upon the population for witnesses and crime reporting. It is beyond a matter of even demagogic politics locally while many above consider its state unacceptable.

TL;DR version - the law refused to bend so it broke instead.
You can create a custom auth flow using lambda and cognito; you can return a series of challenges and create a stateful flow using session tokens which results in a set of access, identity, and refresh tokens.

Alternatively you can use the auth code flow baked into lambda; if you have premium support make a case and someone can walk you through it :)

We have been doing something similar for a long time, works out great. Glad to see more industry adoption around this!

We also wrote a decentralized clock sync algorithm that can be used where NTP fails, check out https://github.com/amark/gun/blob/master/nts.js !

I find it a little odd they didn't use a separator symbol so that way it doesn't have to overflow after a certain year. Also, then you could have microseconds precision or beyond where it is supported.

Overall good progress getting people onboard with this! Solves a lot of problems before they even start.
They are still not banned from taking cash payments. They are banned from using a specific cash-taking service. It is still possible to set up a PO box to mail cheques to. Public-access television did not mean that anyone can have a show(or was entitled to being shown), either, iirc. They could still start their own newspaper, and the indie/local newspaper cycle is still being perpetuated in artsy or politically leftist circles.
I think that's why this is a problem, because reasonable people can absolutely give a gift without needing to get anything back. In western culture in particular, the expectation of getting something back for a gift is considered crass and impolite. In direct contrast to that, it's also often considered crass not to acknowledge a gift with another gift, thanks, or kindness - so western culture is already pretty inconsistent on how we view gifts.

Also, my apologies, I actually do agree with you that the vast majority of gifts are given without an expectation of payoff - but crafty people can (and absolutely do in the political setting) abuse this to game the system. My comment was more meant to highlight that gift giving is never a one way street, even if that is the high-minded intent.

Aside, to see the inconsistency really well spelled out, look at any tax system that has separate rules for gifts and the qualifications that have been codified to try and prevent the abuse of that system.
I'm still convinced that the key to eliminating the homelessness problem is cracking down on it -- hard.

I'm completely in favor of programs to help people who currently are facing a poor situation (recently unemployed, etc), but for the chronically homeless, mentally ill, or drug addicted? Lock them up and throw away the keys.
don't worry, CNC also has lots of special cases. but thanks for getting me thinking about the math.
No it is not.

Still a lot of very dubious reports coming out of Flint.
Raw Bitcoin is the equivalent of cash, not bank money. Bitcoin can be (and often is) regulated and insured.

It's possible to implement chargebacks on a smart-contract platform, or even at layer 0 as EOS and XRP do. What's so bad about the possibility of marrying the benefits of cash with the convenience of electronic money ?

So... sounds like a really solid thing, backed up by government. Good place to put money.
Yes, that didn't work as expected.
Epic lied to Linux devs and stabbed us in the back. I have abandoned hundreds in marketplace assets and moved to godot because of all that money and still a refusal to address Linux as a platform for dev and shipping.
It has flied with plenty of artists actually, many of them I personally know have taken the compromise long before Tumblr officially banned pornographic content. In addition, Pixiv doesn't moderate this super actively; it turns out if you stick uncensored variants outside page 1 you generally get a blind eye. Generally, people are a lot less afraid of having their entire accounts banned for rule violations, unlike American websites. (This case is particularly fascinating to me because said rule violation is quite literally breaking the law... but apparently they are still more lenient than Western websites tend to be about mundane issues.)

I'm not saying I disagree that Twitter is a terrible site for artists. But, artists want a social platform where they can both post freely and interact with non-artists or people in different forms of art. Pixiv and SoundCloud are both great websites, but it turns out A.) A lot of people dabble in both music production and drawing, and B.) A lot of the same people in both of these art forms interact with eachother. (This is especially apparent looking at indie games and gamejams!)

Fwiw, Twitter has been pretty mixed on NSFW content. They've turned a blind eye to most of it. Especially for Japanese-speaking users, presumably because Japanese advertisers don't have the same mentality as Western ones do. Still, I've heard of a few accounts being banned for vague reasons.

So yeah... Twitter is not great for art. But, artists want a general social platform to hang out in, and for many Twitter is currently serving that purpose for better or worse.

That only works if your city is ethnically diverse.
Thanks for the recommendations. I'm someone who loves the golden age of jazz but never got into modern jazz. I'd be happy to have my mind changed.

After a small sampling I think Snarky Puppy is definitely not for me. It's a little bit busy for me, I'm much more of a passive listener so anything that requires intense concentration I don't like. Kamasi Washington is much closer to being something I like. So of the songs I've listened to are also a little busy as well, though. Is this just a characteristic of all modern jazz?
Those are different matters, not related to the point I made here.
Epic can do 88/12 without gift cards. After paying retailers for selling Steam gift cards, Valve gets less than 30.
Bomberman shrank the arena when the matches went to sudden death. Pretty sure others also did this (certainly common in single player games of that era and earlier - arguably Joust with it's rising lava is close to being the first for that sort of thing)

The desire for privacy is universally shared by people across all countries. Sadly not everyone understands how technology works and how online privacy violations affect them, their loved ones and strangers.

Not to mention when you're stuck living in a shithole then fighting for privacy might not be your biggest concern (especially when doing so is likely to put you in great danger).
Because the new one would be substantially more valuable (this is a well known quirk of the car market). If someone actually complained, I suspect Ford would be required to make them whole by either fixing the old car, or providing the cash value of the old car.
By "everyone" I assume you mean investors and upper management.
Yea, only allowing servers to send a naked error code matched against a list of preloaded human-readable strings on the clients seems to be the only option that's actually social-engineering proof.

If custom error messages are really needed, you could allow them as a special option while making it obvious through the client UI that this is sent from an untrusted source (field hidden by default, warning displayed when full error message is expanded).

The safest option now is just to consider Electrum as insecure by default. Same with Ethereum's Parity desktop and Metamask. They're convenient for day to day use but don't trust them with big amounts.

EDIT: Seems that's already been discussed in the issue: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/4968#issuecommen...
so you suggest a well thought conspiracy years in the making?
You've clarified your stance from nobody to nobody in business. That's good, although, I think that is opinion based on your experiences. I suspect that business will care if researchers can make it easy to learn on premise on their small datasets while maintaining high accuracy. The ability to easily update and adapt under non-stationarity without having to retrain from scratch benefits all. The same is true of models that maintain uncertainty or that can explain decision outputs. Tracking uncertainty, robustness to changes, on-line updatability and explainability are all related in that they are examples of things that become easier under causal modeling.

A parallel discussion we are having is whether the gain in accuracy is always worth the gain in complexity and loss in speed. It's something to decide on a case by case basis. It's basic hygiene to reach for the simplest model first.

> The only time I've ever gotten an objective opinion about China from a national was when they became a citizen of another country, had no remaining family there and no intent to return.

That's a little over the top. Chinese people can be open and objective with non-Chinese if you get to know them well. The tricky thing is that if you don't know them well and frame things in an in-group vs. out-group way and seem to criticize their "Chinese" in-group as an outsider, they might feel the need to defend their in-group (China and it's government) whether they believe it or not.

They can see what's going on, but they're going to have a different perspective and different sensitivities. E.g. being less attuned to privacy-based skepticism, but more attuned to corruption-based skepticism.
FDIC insurance is paid out of premiums paid by individual banks and kicks in if a bank actually goes under.

Jazz’s fate mirrors blues in that it’s reached its mature state and now symbiotic relationships with other genres are where innovation happens. David Bowie’s Blackstar, Dillinger Escape Plan’s Jazz-infused math rock hardcore, and Norwegian Shining’s Avant-garde Blackjazz sui generis would be prime examples of this kind of achievement.

I guess you probably don't want to hear "Take fewer photos, keep them on a HDD with a USB backup, and always be too busy doing awesome shit to look back at them?" That's far too ridiculous to be good advice. My entire life so far fits in 30GB of photos & videos. I rarely look at them. Life's too short. Everybody holding up a phone for the entire duration of the concert I'm trying to actually watch would probably beg to differ. Although then again I bet they do agree with me on one thing: they're never going to watch those videos either.
Fortnite's pivot from failed co-op zombie game to... well, this... is incredible.

I would love to have experienced that office environment over that year. I can only imagine that the pivot was a "well, we already have most of the game. What can do we do with it?" hail Mary as they considered what to do short of closure.

I may also be misremembering how dire their situation was. But I thought it was quite dire.
> The link goes even deeper than that. Cosines have an intimate relationship with Euclidean distance, and the fundamental statistics concept of variance is in turn intimately related to Euclidean distance... and Gaussian distributions (perhaps the most continuous distribution family because of the Central Limit Theorem) are parameterized directly by mean and variance. And Gaussian models have a convenient habit of reducing to straightforward linear algebra as a result. The fact that Gaussian problems also happen to be nicely differentiable is yet another bonus. Oh, and least-squares linear regression (read: fit a line to optimize the Euclidean distance between your prediction vector and the data) is equivalent to a Gaussian maximum likelihood model.

Thanks for this insight! Can you also suggest a book or other materials that I can read to understand this in greater depth?

Upgrading your social media content using the design process
Hate groups. Naomi Wu isn't a hate group, other people who were booted off for totally arbitrary reasons aren't either.

And of course, people who just nilly-willy declare other people unpersons with a broad brush, those aren't hate groups, either, they couln't possibly be projecting.

You might be declaring millions and billions of people as "nobody", and a few ten thousand witch hunters and those who egg them on or belittle them as "everybody". The next few years will show.

> I'd view that as the marketplace of ideas working correctly.

By people being attacked and smeared? That's not what marketplace of ideas means.

So in your mind, would the "marketplace of ideas" be working even better if instead if just kicking people from Patreon, they'd also have their water and electricity turned off? If not, why not? Don't say "it's an utility", this is in the context of your claim nobody could possibly want such an utility. If that were true, it would be like regression to some very medieval understanding of society, if even that.

To be fair, many vocational employers may be skittish hiring someone who appears on paper to be aiming for a white collar job. I know there’s the possibility of dropping the diploma off a resume, but then what explains those 4 years doing nothing since high school?
... great artists steal.
Most likely, they can’t. Advertising is the main business model technology companies were built on. If there was any other revenue stream, Facebook would’ve used it (of course, except from charging users for the service since the majority of the people won’t sing up for this).

I totally agree with you on the distaste or advertising and targeting. I never liked it and never will. The question for you is, if you’re using this website service and getting a value/benefit from it, why don’t you benifit them as well by simply removing your ad blocker.

People usually feel obligations for others who have helped them (Them providing you the service) and will thus try to give back.
You make a really strong point about how our culture emphasizes the wrong values and how many of us are dumbed down by low expectations of competency. I'm interested in seeing what the future will look like when the current smartphone-addicted generation enters the workforce, but I also know a number of thirteen-year-olds who use Linux (some more seriously than others).

+: Of course, I know I'm certainly not on top, especially looking at some of the really impressive Show HNs that I see quite often, but compared to the people who I work with and the people around me in real life it doesn't take as much as you would think to be the best among them.
RFC 8467: Padding Policies for Extension Mechanisms for DNS (EDNS(0))
If Roger Federer's parents had refused to let him play tennis, then he would never have become the champion he is today.

Genetics may be a necessary condition to be a tennis champion but it definitely isn't sufficient. If Roger Federer had been kidnapped as a baby and raised by central African warlords, he would not have qualified for Wimbledon, let alone won it as many times as he has.

You've looked at a bunch of statistics and left your common sense at the door. People's lives are vastly more malleable through parenting than a mere 1-2%. Parents have the ability to give or take away any opportunity you could think of.

A kid with no known "piano playing genetics" (whatever that means) to speak of, adopted by a wealthy family that owns a grand piano and makes piano lessons mandatory for all of their children is going to be a hell of a lot better at piano than if Glenn Gould's (hypothetical) child were adopted by a poor family who could never afford lessons.
> Your friend’s mistake is that he is too professional, doing the work that needs doing and pays everyone else’s salaries, while other more selfish people prioritise getting some more buzzwords on their CV.

Seconded - I've had this experience myself. I tried to be the "grownup in the room", ensuring that boring-but-important aspects of software development got taken care of. This was also my first experience on a "self-organizing" team.

The end result was that coworkers just kept doing whatever parts of the work they found personally gratifying, and at annual-review time their list of accomplishments was a lot glitzier than mine.

I continue to struggle with the anger and resentment I feel for how that all went down, and it's hard to objectively assess what I could/should have done differently without having behaved in the same (IMO) unprofessional manner as my then-teammates.

>> Access to the book 1984. jd.com is like amazon equivalent in mainland China (amazon.cn has less traffic there)

> I dont know where you get the idea that average mainland Chinese person who attended their public school system...are not aware of those things.

I just asked my Chinese friend, and they haven't heard of 1984 and report that they mainly read textbooks in high school or college. They didn't read novels because they weren't tested on that material.

I would guess that mainland Chinese people are less aware of dystopian, anti-authoritarian novels like 1984 than Americans, even if they are available, if only because those books are commonly part of US high-school curriculums and not Chinese curriculums.
