That is a nice strategy but it only allows IO to be parallel, and leaves the CPU sequential. Programs may be concurrent (because of the cooperative multitasking) but not parallel (because there is only one CPU thread). Users may find it disappointing that they can only use a single core.

Also, keep in mind that cooperative multitasking may cause unexpected high latencies, which is unfortunate e.g. in GUI applications and web servers; this is a result of queueing theory, and an example is given here: https://www.johndcook.com/blog/2008/10/21/what-happens-when-...

By the way, on POSIX systems there is a way to schedule background IO operations without even using threads: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/aio.7.html

You should be much more concerned about tying transportation to a company that _is_ profitable. The point of public transportation is to provide an external benefit. Uber will just interpose itself and extract rents.

Unfortunately the power of suggestion is a very real thing, so this isn't nearly as rational as it appears at first glance. There's a reason the medical profession is seriously concerned about outside tests, and it's not just cartel behavior. It's probably the same mechanism as the Baader-Meinhof effect.

I tend to agree on all your points. But when a site I need to browse does require JS, simply "turning it on" is, in my opinion, much too lax. You really need more granularity in managing javascript than the binary enable/disable feature available on browsers: namely javascript blocking extensions (noscript, umatrix, etc...). Being able to block
3rd party javascript is invaluable, for example.

Correct, Spotify apps can't play podcasts (meaning they don't support podcast standards like RSS, etc.). Instead, their backend ingests open web media and converts it for their proprietary platform. This allows them to "own" the listener/creator relationship, control what data the creators see, and modify the content to include additional advertising should they decide that's interesting.

I can believe that NTFS is slower than most Linux filesystems, though I'd be curious how much of that relates to things like use of ACLs, etc. Regardless, both security-related and filesystem-related speed differences on developer systems should be effectively negligible except in edge cases.

If filesystem differences are making a significant difference, it's time for someone to suck it up and spend a few hundred dollars on SSDs for the developers (and not the cheapest ones available, which frequently lack DRAM and can have their own speed issues).
Most startups could be killed with a single feature initially.

Heck even the party has had issues with the judiciary at lower levels (things that didn't involve the party) where they found judges with limited education making strange decisions based on flawed logic, and of course low level corruption.

While I'm sure they don't have any intention of making the judiciary independent, there were signs that even party members were a bit dismayed by some of the decisions if only because they were worried about public perception. I belive they talked about launching some educational efforts.

It's also not really a great fit for data that you'd want to gather systematically. For signal strength, you'd get lots of data in places that people frequent (and that tend to have good signal) and little data in more remote places, where the measurements would be of more value.

Fair enough. Though I guess I just don't see how the argument that insurance companies are "bad guys" has any legs.

Yes, insurance companies only want to pay out when they are contractually obligated to do so. That is patently obvious. If insurance companies paid out when they weren't, insurance would be much more expensive than it is now.

If an insurance company is unsure a situation is contractually covered, they will not pay, and a court will decide the case. Once such ambitious cases are clarified, all future parties benefit.

I don't see anything shady or underhanded about any of this. Especially since it is all basically part of the definition of what an insurance company is!

Essentially, RNNs and feed forward networks are very similar - RNNs are just "unrolled through time" and every timestep shares the same weights. The activations are slightly different as well, but the core concept is the same as feed forward networks; it's not a completely different concept or idea.
FYI, I had the same model on 18.06.1 and just updated to 18.06.2. It's fine so far.
That sounds pretty dangerous. Specialists need to be kept in line by managers, in other words: people who specialize in human behavior and ethical concerns. I know that figuring out some obscure software pattern makes you feel like an omniscient god who should be corralling lesser beings into useful behavior, but really you have just ended up in your position partly because you are bad at other things.
I think you definitely need to approach a 100k line project differently to smaller code (for example declare types more often, static type at least your interfaces and methods, etc) - but it is completely possible to write Groovy in a style that scales to that size and is still maintainable. After all, it can look almost exactly like Java.

On the other hand, it's impossible to scale Java down to the point where it would be sensible choice for what would otherwise be a bash script.

It’s all relative. Renaissance is famous because they do it on (low) double digit billions. On the other hand, 80% at a proprietary trading firm - where you might be working with double digit millions - isn’t spectacular. I can tell you that several small outfits in Chicago and the Bay Area return well over 200% consistently. But they are severely capacity constrained and basically disburse profits to the partners and traders each year. Their capital is only in the eight figure range.
All carriers have this data for all of the carriers in each region.

Many many years ago the FM radio station at college wanted to get FCC approval to increase broadcast power to 10 KW. In order to justify that, some students drove around taking signal strength measurements all over the area. They then picked the worst measurements to submit to the FCC.

This wasn't a violation of any rules. Let's say (for example) that the FCC submission needs 50 measurements spaced apart a certain distance. If you have actually taken 150 measurements then you can easily select a coherent set of 50 that show just how bad things are and justify why you need that 10 KW non-commercial license.

It's possible for the cell carriers to do something like this, but in reverse. It may make business sense for them to only retain/report measurement data that makes them look good?

Cell towers aren't cheap to put up. If carriers can obtain "decent" coverage with fewer towers, then it's smart for them to do that?

Of course, the carriers already have very very very granular data. They should be able to gather, and perhaps actually do gather, data from every single cellphone transmission as it establishes both voice and data connections. The carriers could/should use that information to erect more towers and to tweak antenna orientations on existing towers.

In my experience, however, this doesn't seem to happen. The same areas around me have dead spots that persist for years. This is in relatively flat suburban terrain, without too many large hills or tall buildings to interfere.

So in my anecdotal experience, Verizon doesn't give a shit about poor signal strength. And they're perhaps? the best at caring, so what does that say about the others?
I suspect the reason for IRA vs 401k is entirely regulatory. For any values I try in a spreadsheet, paying the taxes up front results in larger post-tax amounts later (as long as the initial income tax rate is greater than capital gains rate).

Can anyone find another reason?

Edit: yes, I'm entirely ignoring predictions of tax rates rising in the future since that's not interesting mathmatically

I'd say if you want to reduce meat consumption because you care about climate change but you'll only switch if alternatives tastes identical to meat you probably don't care that much.

Maybe beef burger replacements are coming but we're not going to have indistinguishable alternatives to bacon, whole roast chicken, pulled pork, sirloin steak, duck etc. any time soon so people are going to have to be less picky for global meat consumption to be reduced.

I'm pretty rusty on Python but my impression wasn't that the GIL meant just "no data races" but that it also meant "data can't change out from under you in the middle of executing a statement". You could write a Python interpreter that ensured no data races and yet still had divergent behavior by allowing shared data to be mutated by another thread halfway through executing a statement.
We have code reviews and stuff for this. It's also totally possible for somebody to spend hours setting something up and then develop really bad code - it might even be more likely in situations where time is a constraint. Having people jump through arbitrary hoops that have nothing to do with the matter at hand is not a good thing. This is especially the case with rust which isn't exactly the most beginner friendly language to begin with.
In my mind - if you treat news as entertainment, you're finished.

There are just too many entertaining things to do, that are free or almost free.

The only news I'm interested in surviving, is intelligent, well educated people, talking to domain experts.

HackerNews is a good example - I'm far more interested in getting the occasional insight from a quality comment, than anything that's actually posted on here. If only I didn't have to sift through 100 comments to encounter 1 gem - that should be the journalist.

Trouble is - people view journalism as a job, it's not. Having education and life experience in a field, combined with decent journalism, is a job. Journalism on it's own is just not interesting - being a wordsmith is not more valuable than actually knowing what you're talking about.

> Sizes are being used as a fuzzy proxy here which makes sense—putting a cap on CPU usage and memory is a lot harder to pull off. Is focusing on size ideal? Probably not. But not that far off base either.

No: this doesn't make sense :/. The core problem is that stuff sits around executing some tiny input handler or animation in a loop, burning CPU. When I have tracked the tabs that are the worst performers down to the code causing a problem, it is never a large amount of code: it is some stupid mechanism that polls the position of something (like the cursor or the scrollbar), or is trying to push some analytics to a server.

This really has nothing to do with the amount of code being downloaded. I realize some people care complain about how much stuff they have to download, but that just isn't what is actually causing most people problems. Sure, tracking CPU is sort of annoying, but it absolutely isn't hard. Chrome already is running these things in separate processes (for security), and the operating system is tracking the time used for each thread: you can just ask it and make some kind of limit if that is what you care about.

I mean, in this article I see ideas for size limits for images, which is at least consistent... but that is going way way too far: 1MB just isn't good enough for a reasonable image. If you care so much about bandwidth, make a bandwidth cap for the page and if it exceeds it--across all media--figure out some way of blocking or punishing the site.

What most of us care about is that there seems to be no limit on the CPU usage of any given page. This is easy to fix--it is a virtual machine, after all!--by just doing the same trick Erlang uses for compiling a preemptive fiber and then limiting its time execution slices.

What I know I care a lot about is when a tab I haven't looked at in three days is suddenly using CPU time _at all_. Just make it so background tabs get severely limited in their ability to do background execution and eventually get stopped entirely, and the problem is essentially solved.

(Chrome, which is apparently already big on these size limits, doesn't do this, and I swear it is because it is against Google's interests to do it as it mostly makes it more difficult to do stuff like tracking and advertising :/.)
Redistribution is required for Pareto efficiency (improvement without making any individual worse off). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_efficiency

Free trade allows exchanges that make both involved parties better off, but possibly harms others (higher cost producers). This can be done without redistribution.

It is interesting that you suggest that existing producers deserve compensation. Why? Do they have some innate right to their previous business model or profession?

Sugar producers in the US have been protected for decades by trade policy that increases the costs for all sugar consumers in the US. I don't know that they deserve that protection but it would be cheaper to just compensate them at a decreasing rate to get them out of the business, rather than perpetually enforcing higher sugar prices.

Oops, make that centuries - the US sugar industry developed in part because of tariffs https://scholarworks.montana.edu/xmlui/bitstream/handle/1/25... page 18 "Ballinger (1975) asserts that when the United States acquired the
Louisiana Territory in 1803, the fledgling sugar industry there immediately benefited
from tariff protection, hence spurring its development." Do they still deserve compensation if harmed by free trade? They've already been compensated by unfree trade...

PayPal does NOT go to extreme lengths to avoid fraudulent transactions, paypal is actually really bad at it. PayPal doesn't even offer an option for 3D Secure, and that's insane.

Seller security is also shit for digital goods and services. PayPal is full of abuse with customers creating fake claims in order to get services for free. This is getting abused more and more. Worst case scenario if you create a fake claim for digital goods or a service on PayPal is usually that you don't get the money back.

It's good when it works, but they need to remove or fix the claim functionality, and allow 3D Secure to be used.

Gmail still works?

Seriously though the limits applying to XHR is a really good point. I'm guessing browsers would have to enforce some artificial restriction on the eval function, possibly prompting the user with "This webpage is attempting to run a large amount of [insert user-friendly layperson terminology here]. This may be related to advertiser abuse. Do you want to allow this?"

But it's not clear how they plan to solve it for iframes either which could essentially grant unlimited JS as well.

They have good intentions with the discussion and it's an interesting idea but I don't see it becoming reality until they can solve these problems which seem actually rather hard.
> I'm told making oat milk is similarly simple.

The oat milk you get in a latte only tastes the way it does because it has oil and emulsifiers in it. If you just stick oats in a soy milk maker it's not going to come out the same way.
Float/doubles are finite. They only approximately model the real. And that's key. Because the fact that approximation works for a problem means it must be reasonably smooth, which means everything will be more well behaved and rules out the worst pathologies.
But the whole point of JavaScript is that, instead of having to install programs, you can run them in the browser. Obviously pretty much every website can be replaced by a desktop application, but that isn't really practical for the vast majority of people, and I don't really see what problem you are solving.
