A difference with MtG is also the target market. I started playing with 8, went to my first tournament (also the first time I met players other than my best friend) at 10 and we got laughed at for having German cards. Pretty much everyone was 5-7 years older than us.

From the blog quoted above: "Advanced DSP can certainly get complicated with quadrature processing, Hilbert transforms, and cascaded infinite impulse response filters, but this series on DSP isn't going to get that complicated."

Gulp. I'm new to DSP, so I'm obviously not going to jump into "quadrature processing," but what would you say are the basic mathematical prerequisites for getting into this kind of thing? What sort of math should you know before you even start?

> If your house burns, you might lose all copies of the code.

This is what off-site backups are for. You have them, for your hosted services as well as your home ones, right?! OK so with a hosted service you have the advantage of them managing uptime and recovery matters to an extent, but I still prefer to have my own backups on another host, so I have the data in my hands if the whole service goes offline for a time.

I'd agree with your other points but I don't think the "what about a site-down situation?" matter differs between self and remote hosted options (unless, perhaps, you are paying a pile for nice renumeration-backed SLA promises).
> I understand why people get upset about their companion animal bring purposely hurt, but I don't understand how most everyone in that same demographic has no problem killing (or having killed through their economic transaction) a cow, pig, or chicken.

Im just explaining this.

Yes, killing animals just because they cant lay eggs is fucked up. Animals raised in inhuman conditions is animal abuse and should be followed up as such.

But I do not understand how people can think this is one and the same.
There are people capable of loving their pets as if they were their own children. Just because you're not, doesn't mean they can't. Losing things you're emotionally attached to is very painful. Just because you wouldn't have loved that particular "thing" doesn't mean they can't and doesn't invalidate their suffering. I know it's hard to see beyond your own pain, but that's exactly what empathy is all about. Maybe try it sometime?

> we just have a totally different set of moral axioms and are fundamentally incapable of seeing the world in the same way.

That set of moral axioms you hold was what allowed people - you spiritual ancestors, no doubt - to murder millions and millions of people of different skin color or believing in another god. It's what allowed people to abduct and enslave and murder whole populations for hundreds, thousands of years. The belief that "they are not people, they are beasts, so we can treat them like livestock" is what underlies nearly every atrocity ever committed by the "human beings" you hold so dear as a race.

Today, the set of humans seen as people expanded, which is a good thing. People seem to have learned that people everywhere are fundamentally the same: they feel joy, sadness, rage, love; they all bleed the same when hurt; they all live their lives enduring hardships and enjoying good things.

The thing is, all of that is also true for animals. They are capable of feeling joy and sadness, of getting depressed, of jealousy, of loyalty, of empathy, of fear and anger, of suffering. They cannot voice their opinions, but you know - there are disabled people who also cannot do this, due to disability or brain damage. Such humans are no worse as people than the others: their families love them, care for them, and grieve for them once they depart. Your "moral axioms" are then inconsistent: you should either promote all animals to human status or demote disabled people straight into gas chambers. Just so you know, we've already tried the latter, it wasn't great.

The other reality for a lot of people is going to a established company that has an admirable mission, but doesn't actually take it seriously and is more for appearing like a force for good than actually doing good. Same could be argued for Tesla, but it doesn't make Tesla unique in any case. They are putting out the product they said was the change needed and they have.

No, I think we are the (silent) majority. Otherwise it wouldn't have passed design and approval phases.

The users will paid for it, without noticing. Carriers don't paid the billions in one go and hoping to recoup their investment. It hasn't been working like this for long. Your Carriers basically sign agreement to rent lot of things. Rent for Datacenter, Rent For Fibre if they are not an ISP themselves ( Which is very rare now ), Rent for Outbound Network Connection, Rent for all the Cellular site ( That is why property pricing has an effect on Mobile Pricing ), Rent for the Retails Shops, Rent for Spectrum, Rent for the Services Agreement with Infrastructure provider, which today is either Huawei, Ericsson or Nokia. Along with their own staff. As you see they are all pretty much a fix cost to achieve a services level requirement by law.

You have been paying for the Services agreement to Infrastructure, and as long as you continue to paid, under the accepted condition Huawei, Ericsson and Nokia will continue the hardware and software investment as well as Network tuning.

So if you are paying $100 per month, and $30 had been going to Nokia / Huawei / Ericsson, as long as you paid the same, there will be money for future upgrade.

And one of the reason why you see many countries has Carriers consolidated to three, becasue the nature of carriers business requires certain minimum amount of revenue to be sustainable.

Note: Of coz this is an over simplified description. But it basically shows you don't need to paid a lot more to get 5G.

"Part of the reward is a reputable account as a saleable asset."

Your assessment is wrong. Joe's plumbing is a legally distinct entity that people understand is represented by a variety of different individuals.

An account on a gig site that represents that you are Joe Smith is different on the face of the matter because you are contractually liable for providing accurate info to potential clients and the company. They signed up for Joe not someone Joe vetted.

You breached the agreement under which you agreed to work with the company that is connecting you to work.

You misled the party hiring the company and if anything goes wrong and you let Bob Johnson masquerade as you have fun getting sued by the agreived party and reaping the bad press.

The company will ultimately delete the account when or if your FRAUD is detected meaning you will also be guilty of defrauding the buyer.

The person using the account is guilty of exceeding authorized access on cfaa you are potentially guilty of assisting them.

If you want the benefits of being a corporation you need to incorporate you cannot fraudulently sell your Joe Smith personal account on wag or Uber or what have you.

Good to see I'm not the only one thinking that.

Reading this I ask myself why does one chooses to work in such a work environment? Are people working there doing it because they feel they're part of a bigger dream? Seems to me like it's very hard to feel this way when you're so replaceable. At the end of the day I guess the work is similar to working in many other car brands, just harder, more hectic and managed more poorly. Are there any special benefits that I'm missing? (I'm really wondering, not trying to put anyone down)
I'm curious about the description of a black hole as a singularity. I'm going to resort to Neoplatonist philosophy to try to understand this.

In the formation of the universe, the notion of a singularity points at an old idea, argued by Plotinus, that everything started with "The One". This is commensurable with the statement that the boltzmann entropy of the start of the universe, prior to inflation, would be equal to "1" -- because that is the total volume of possible phase space. That, to me, is very elegant -- although it is unclear whether there are predictions about how the 1 becomes 2 ("the indefinite dyad"), 3 and then the inflationary myriad. But still, I'm impressed that the logic of ancient philosophy could correspond reasonably with modern physics.

From this perspective, I'm interpreting big bang's "singularity" as =1. What is the nature of the singularity of a blackhole? Is the event horizon itself the singularity, or does it just an effect of a singularity at the center of the blackhole? Is there a "One" at the center of the blackhole?

It sure seems like Tesla is the foremost reason car manufacturers have started to fully acknowledge electric is the near(& medium/long term)-future and not just some check box/compliance car to satisfy "well meaning bureaucrats".

Existing European/Japanese/US car manufacturers were happy enough to trundle along with existing ICE cars as it required less effort & gave better profits.

They & Chinese (electric) car/bus makers are the reason our planet is going to improve - ~0 air pollution in populated areas and massive reduction in nuisance engine noises.

Malign incompetence of the British ruling class
That sort of thing happen in companies a lot. It is certainly not something limited to high school - where it actually happen less as analogical situation never arises.

We are in the context of CIC being full of bottles of pee and crew members who didn’t know how to use radar controls.

The personal mistrust may mean various things, but likely means something like "they rarely provided something useful and last x times I passed information it caused unnecessary complications, slowdowns and problems". The perception may be true of false of course, may be caused by technical incompetence or by people causing dramas for no reason or whatever. It is just something common in large badly managed groups where you cant rely on other people.
> The CO and XO shouldn't be sleeping while their ship is crossing a busy sealane full of behemoth freighters driving on autopilot in the dark.

That was certainly how it worked 40 years ago aboard the USS Enterprise (the aircraft carrier, not the starship). Day or night, the CO would always come to the bridge whenever another ship got to within about two- to four miles and was predicted to come within one mile. And in traffic, e.g., transiting the Strait of Malacca, the skipper would be on the bridge pretty much continuously. (Not the XO; his full-time job was basically running the ship's internal operations.)
Projects like these should be celebrated with license fees.
.replace('curiously','suspiciously')
In my time on a ship we were always undermanned. All the development I've seen in new systems to replace those I worked on (arresting gear and catapults) focus heavily on reducing required manning. We never did busy work or work that was unnecessary when we were under way and flying aircraft. In port - yeah sometimes.

Most current sailors I talk to are overworked, training gets gundecked, following safety procedures and impede advancement - what's reworded is a "can do" approach that takes large risks.

I don't know anyone currently serving, in any command, who says they have too many people.
I don't see it either. Perhaps some people are seeing it as a swastika due to the nazi moral panic we have been experiencing over the past couple years? It's not unreasonable for a human to make that kind of correlation when there are bombarded by stories of nazi resurgence on a frequent basis.
It’s mind blowing to me too. However I would probably choose my dog over a child from another race.

Hi

I'm learning Python at the moment, so I'll try to offer something from my perspective (which is obviously different to yours!)

I found the best thing to help me learn last year was working on a project that I came up with to help my girlfriend's school. She's an ICT tech in a first school in the UK, and GDPR means (amongst other things) that each child's parents choose which internal and external media they can be in, and managing that is difficult. Between us we came up with the idea for an internal web-based system which displayed this info quickly and easily for staff, and allowed management of this info via an admin interface (including import from .csv and Google Sheets). It grew considerably as I iterated on features, and I learned SO much from doing it - both technically (I'd write it completely differently to how it is at the moment) and in terms of planning and soft skills, etc. I wouldn't have learned anywhere near as much by spending that time on more courses.

Despite my technical reservations about its internal quality, it functions well, and is in daily use at the school (hosted on a Raspberry Pi).

So, I'd suggest either finding something that someone you know needs doing, and trying to do it. It's the same as when I did my apprenticeship (which ultimately was in Electronics and Instrumentation, but in the first year involved mechanical work such as lathe use, milling machines and welding) - you learned skills which were OK, but it was the projects we did (making parallels, a punch, eventually a battery charger completely from scratch) which was where we really learned why we needed the skills and which areas we needed to work on more.
Probably because china has 50 million empty apartments. 3 People per apartment should be enough to let all of Bangladesh escape (they'll need it).
Yet, I use eslint every day, I have money, I’m willing to pay, but I’m not familiar with the owner or his products, (nor inclined to seek them out), nor will I go find their Patreon page (although I do support several YouTuber Patreon pages).

I personally feel like npm and Github are sitting on goldmines, in a financial sense and in a simple solution sense, yet they are their own worst enemy, chasing all value to $0 as fast as possible.

GitHub/npm: just charge me $10-20+/more/month and distribute it out for me. I want to support the community, but I don’t want to deal with it. I code e-very-day. It’s worth it to me to support tools and the community, but don’t leave it up to my own arbitrary choices or timing. Maybe check my package.json or code coverage with said packages to dish out funds auto-magically. Just do something-charge me!

Side note — last week Github announced free private repos, while I was gladly paying. Why not instead just charge for the repos and create a massive fund to help solve the problem? Maybe the catch is: to receive funds you have to primarily host your source code on Github. That may help retain popular libs from leaving to other platforms.
Can we talk about how a modern language designed to handle money transfers did not have basic tooling like this until now, yet was used multiple times to make millions of dollars of income?

There is exactly one CO and one XO for ship.
I would be drawn by a combination of the challenge of high expectations, and the fact that the company works towards a meaningful cause. Of course, there's a huge difference between the challenge being innovating all the time and straining your cognitive and physical abilities, and the challenge of trying to keep your partner and have some semblance of a personal life despite working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. It seems like Tesla PR implies the former, but the reality is the latter. If reports are to be believed, the company structure and management is still very much a Taylorian command-and-control hierarchy which is a huge barrier to real innovation.

> Now it has to gnaw through the harder, crunchier parts of the global economy. Software eating life sciences? Software eating elderly care? Software eating household construction? Software eating money? Good luck.

Wow, so much pessimism. Tech has still loong way to make inroads into these sectors, and i don't see anything stopping it. In some cases it is harsh regulation and established interests that prevent people from innovating (e.g. money), but it is happening. "Good luck"? this won't age well. Anyone who thinks that tech is just for "selling ads" is , hm, short-sighted.

It is easy to cherrypick the high tech that has large p/e s such as tesla and netflix, but these are companies that disrupt existing markets, not create new ones. Apple (which does that often) has a tiny p/e. So maybe, it is a good thing that the fangs are being deinvested. Plus 2019 is the airbnb and uber IPO...
Your moral compass is fucked.

Dogs do not think and feel and live as humans do. Humans have thoughts, dreams, hopes, creativity, complex emotions. A rich inner life. Dogs have none of this. That you would prioritise your dog, rather than the life of a human child... is chilling to me. It's beyond selfish.

Disclaimer: I have 2 dogs and 1 cat.
I thought this interactive piece on the principles of game theory and strategy evolution in populations might be interesting to some. Reminded me of the more detailed explanations that Dawkins gave in The Selfish Gene and/or The Extended Phenotype (can't recall which one).
I lost my father when I was younger and I lost a cat that meant a lot to me a couple of years ago that and while they were obviously very different, the pain and loss I feel was quite similar and I miss both of them dearly.

That cat was there for me through some very hard times, in a way no human was. To me, that cat had more value than a lot of humans do. Humans are largely (but luckily not entirely) self absorbed in their own lives and their own problems, the cat was always ready and happy to be with me, no matter what. Obviously there are caring people in the world who go above and beyond for others, but there were few of them when I needed people, so to me, that cat was more important than most people, as she helped me when no person could and gave me the emotional support I needed. So of course losing her was just as painful as losing a person.
It also reminds me of Ruby's

.tap { |x| puts x }

For those of you who don't know Ruby, its map/filter/reduce functions chain like this:

values.map { |x| x + 2 }.select { |x| x > 3 }

So when you want to look at an intermediate result, there's the .tap() method that runs a lambda with that intermediate result, then passes it on to the next step in the chain.

[0, 1, 2, 3].map { |x| x + 2 }.tap { |x| puts x }.select { |x| x > 3 }

This returns [4, 5] after printing [2, 3, 4, 5]. ("puts" is Ruby's println.)
