Half the reason we are in this mess is because politicians are too stupid to properly discuss this without resorting to straw men and personal attacks.

Free movement is not without consequence, address it honestly, attempt to solve real issues and maybe people come around.
> […] works in every language

> Operates on words, not characters.

Yeah, well. How shall I tell you?
Yes, in fairness. The UK have always been a heavy hitter in Europe, the fact that they failed to redistribute the spoils is a domestic matter. France are a large military industrial power too. There are other strong voices such as the Dutch, the Polish and the Spanish.

This whole thing about fitting up Germany to be the puppet master is just ignorance borne of envy for their social model, industrial output and success on the international export market.

I basically see two schools of thought in the discussion:

1. People that believe ads are strictly a source of revenue. If you don't like them but want to use the service, pay for the service

2. People who believe that ads are more than a banner on the page, its permission for ad networks and services to run potentially malicious content on their computer
Like the other sibling comments mentioned, I too was confused about "100x faster than regex" and what the actual product was about.

After digging around their website, I found this blog post which explains it better:

https://blog.nezaboodka.com/post/2019/594-using-nevod-for-te...

So my summary would be:

1) it works "faster" than regex in a specific scenario of treating text as entities in natural language. (E.g. higher conceptual abstractions such as qualifiers, variations, etc). If one were to reconstruct Nevod's rules using pure traditional regex (a very complicated regex), executing that regex would be slower because it's more of a "dumb" character sequence matching engine instead of a higher level natural language parser.

2) it's currently an unreleased "text search engine" that presumably will be licensed for you to integrate into your own software. The text matching engine is currently only used in their proprietary database engine. Whether the engine is a library one statically links in like Sqlite -- or -- it's a separate runtime like ElasticSearch that you make API calls to, I don't know.

I notice the CEO is Yury Chetyrko and the submitter is ychetyrko, so maybe he can explain in more detail what exactly Nevod is.
I wonder if 'Intercom makes no difference in conversion' is the rule or the exception. I wish there was a meta study. Also, it's worthwhile to mention that there are 100% free really good Intercom alternatives, like https://www.bitrix24.com/tools/contact_center/ and https://www.tawk.to/features/
Well, the UK did attempt to address a lot of social issues at the end of WW2 by electing a socialist (but passionately anti-Soviet) government - that's how we got things like the NHS.

People forget that Churchill was hated by a lot of people - my father (who was in the RAF in WW2) utterly loathed him.
> It's like when Dems say they want to abolish ICE. That's what their base want to hear. Do they really think ICE is going to be abolished?

Yes, they do.

They may not think the functions are going to be eliminated, or most of the rank and file staff removed from government service, any more than when the predecessors of various parts of ICE, like the INS, were abolished before it.

Jokes on us. I have a building management system that uses IE thoroughly. These things are on 10-15 year lifecycles. And the only way to get major updates is to buy a new system. These things are in the $millions and we aren't anywhere near the next purchase cycle. The only thing I can do is harden it by lobbing it onto it's own VLAN.
I would argue that consciousness is the least subjective phenomenon there is.

I think that the difficulty in defining it comes for the fact that good definitions are so fundamentally simple that people miss their depth. My favorite one is this, and please give it a chance before rejecting it. See if it distinguishes consciousness from all other concepts:

Consciousness is that which cannot be doubted.
If that's the case, then they should probably start by offering something better for all currently supported OSes and versions.

Windows 7 is still supported and only runs IE11, no Edge

Windows 10 LTSB is still supported and only runs IE11, no Edge

If you need to support any of those OSes, there's no way around supporting IE11.
Any links or suggestions?
Well reasoned argument.
I think the arguments for attraction based upon evolution are weak, otherwise we wouldn't see what we like changing with society. Evolution would demand there's major biological components there, but our preferences as a society swing far too fast for biological determinism to be at play.

That's cool if you set your standards extraordinarily high and you can't find someone because of it, but don't blame evolution, realize you set those standards.
So you're rewarding them for bad behavior with your money. Think about what this does to their incentives.
>but every step along the way was achieved by backwards compatibility and that meant some compromises

This is not a good analogy. The phone system has thrown away plenty of standards as well. Throwing away TLS for something else doesn't have any compatibility problems on the web. There is no difference in compatibility between doing 1.2->ShinyNew and doing 1.2->1.3.

Maybe we can do enough within just TLS versions to fix the flaws. Maybe doing 1.4 with a much stricter set of conditions is possible and so we should keep the base. But for some reason that keeps not happening and insecure options like these still exist. But the compatibility argument doesn't exist. The end user would not notice anything.
Not sure why you're being downvoted. Having spent 8 months in Europe in the last decade and the rest in the US, one of the first things I notice back home is how nice it is to get decent service at eating establishments.
Radio stations at least around the midwest here in the US only seem to play ~20 different songs, and it gets really repetitive, really fast, just ask anybody working retail.

Plus the genre's are rather limited, it's usually one or two pop stations (with 90% song overlap), one or two country, maybe NPR or something in a podcast format, etc. Meanwhile all of the ads.

Personally I'm on the student plan, and for what I like the listen to it's a steal for 5$ (and free hulu?) Any of the alternatives, deezer, apple music, etc would likely work too, but I can't imagine only using fm radio stations.
this is a topic related to spintext, which is a technique for spam-filter avoidance.

My biggest gripe with german is the redundancy, all articles and form changes they create are actually redundant, they don't contribute to the meaning in any significant manners. Remove all of them and all the complications, different forms they create, you would still perfectly understand it.

Yeah I know, languages, organic, beautiful, but subtle things , etc etc.. But still.
I'm not 100% sure that's true - for example, today we have hugely improved development environments, IDEs, source control, collaboration tools, simulators, debuggers, documentation (particularly in terms of easily available and instant access to low level details and also searchability) and so on, which (probably?) make it easier to produce code, and perform tasks that would have been impossible or intractable back then...
From a customers standpoint, this is exactly the problem.

". In comparison, the countries with prevalent zero rating practices from their wireless carriers consistently saw data prices increase.

> People are using ad blockers not just to hide annoyances and to improve performance, but to protect themselves from bad actors.

This is why I started blocking ads at the network level last year, after resisting blocking them at all for so long before that. A number of popular sites (imgur.com being the worst offender, but certainly not the only one) hosting adverts that attempted drive-by downloads, tried to access cameras or microphones (luckily caught by permissions blocks elsewhere), played obnoxious loud audio, played high-res bandwidth chewing video, opened pop-ups or pop-unders, and so forth.

Serve the adverts from your own domains and agree to take responsibility for any damage done by code/other served from your domains, and we can talk. Otherwise: no ads. Ban me from your site or application for that if you wish.

You’re probably referring to the fact that the school system differs from state to state rather than being organised at the federal level but I find that quality of education differs a lot more between individual schools than it does between states, and not just because of the tiered system (grammar would be elementary school curriculum anyway).

Fear mongering around immigration was definitely one of the top "arguments" of the brexit proponents during the referendum campaign. So clearly it's not something made up by "sneering anti-Brexiters".
>> It's also useful to corrupt people's belief in the possibility of getting accurate news

That's the point.
Accurate, impartial news does not exist and there is no benefit for the majority of individuals to believe that such a thing exists.
All news is fake to some extent because there is always room for an agenda.
The only reliable way to stop elites from setting the agenda is for people to believe in stuff which conflicts with the agenda. Whether it's fake news or not is a detail which doesn't matter.

People should be encouraged to trust their intuition even if it occasionally leads them to make mistakes.
Fair enough. I think I'd make this change if I could go back in time!
Revisionist conflation is silly, but Germany definitely is the main power within EU.

EU decision making for big issues:

1. Leaders of France and Germany meet to draw out a plan.

2. They negotiate with few other big countries to form a block. Valuable horse-trading happens here.

3. The European Council meets and small countries realize that the table is already made for them. They are never part of the process from the start. They are allowed to do some tweaks but that's it.
If the service Spotify uses to host/serve ads get hacked and delivers malware to my computer, they should be held responsible for the cost and time spent addressing the malware. If I actually brought this up with them, I assume I would be laughed out of their office. Spotify can't have it both ways.
It isn't debatable because we know hiroshima and nagasaki had no bearing on the japanese decision to surrender. If the nukes were the cause of japan's surrender, hiroshima would have been enough and nagasaki wouldn't have happened.

Also, there is no ambiguity to the morality of hiroshima or nagasaki. No more than there is any ambiguity to the morality of nazi death camps. They were both racially driven war crimes and crimes against humanity. And as mcnamara said, if we had lost the war, our leaders would have been executed for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

They can block service for whatever reason they want.
Anyone know if there's a host file blacklist for malicious domains only? Most of the ones I've seen block all ads.

The first time I experienced a malicious ad in Spotify on my Linux machine, I started blocking them via my hosts file [1]. I was only hoping to block malicious sites but it ended up giving me a completely ad-free experience in Spotify.

As a free user I accept that I will be exposed to ads in exchange for not paying for the service, but they seriously need to do a better job vetting for malicious ads.

Why will you have fear of learning something new or hard?
I could be mistaken, but it was my understanding that those backup codes are one-time-use only, and that using one basically burns it forever. My cookies get cleared every single time I close my browser, so I would have to continually log back in and keep burning more codes. If I'm wrong about this... that would be excellent.

The account I was talking about was created on a one time windfall (see my other responses), and had no other contribution.

Most of my investment is in my 401k, which I max out. As such I'm dollar cost averaging and not otherwise thinking about it (except my last paycheck in December is a mini bonus). My day job is writing computer programs. When I get home every night I have dinner with the family, play a bit and put the kids to bed. This makes it easy to ignore the stock market day to day: I have better things to do than think about it. Once a year I check balances, decide I can't retire yet (won't happen for years) and forget about it.
West of France. Spain, Portugal and possibly the Southern parts of France. But ethnic stereotypes are of course silly and somewhat arbitrary so I don't think it's possible to draw a clear line.

"Hedonistic lazy people with dark hair who steal our daughters" seems to be the general idea. This is somewhat distinct from "lazy people with light hair who steal our things", which seems to be the stereotype against Eastern Europeans.
Yes; with pinning music offline it's still encrypted & within the Spotify app. The app needs to be connected to the internet at least every 30 days to ensure that your subscription is still current (and, presumably, that all those tracks are still permitted to be on your device).

I've suffered the same, as content agreements have changed, tracks have been made unavailable in playlists.

There's a setting in Spotify to see this; you can disable "hide unplayable tracks in playlists". You'll then see all the affected songs return, but greyed out.

Good! As a network engineer I condemn the use of Huawei network equipment. They are a prime example of blatant intellectual property theft and backdoor spying for the Chinese intelligence apparatus. If your company uses this gear you are exposing everyone on your network to state level hacking.

edit: I was involved designing datacenters in China and one of our requirements was the network gear was all American. During a visit we were asked to coordinate with an engineer from ChinaTelecom to figure out where to place Gov. deep packet inspection devices on the backbone network. My take away from this was it was easier for them to add additional equipment than to hack the American routers.

That's a great definition. I think we can all objectively agree on that definition, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the thing being described by the definition is any less subjective.

Can't help you with movies/Netflix, but in the case of Spotify, you could go back to buying mp3's. Google Play, Amazon, iTunes (aac format), etc will all sell you DRM Free tracks at $1.30 a piece, and the ad-free songs become yours forever to listen to however you wish.
The point is that they are a union. For instance, France, the Netherlands and Belgium together are more "powerful" than Germany. It's not like the Germans simply determines whatever they want.
I do not think the divisions so sharp. Many formulations in RL can be seen as implicitly defining a particular (set of) differential equations. One can do something similar for certain simple GAs and write them as equations of an evolutionary game where stable strategies are good solutions to the objective. The RL diff eqs also fall in this class.

Another view point is to note that John Holland, inventor of GAs, was more interested in the application of GAs in classifier systems than as objects of study in and of themselves. His work on the bucket brigade algorithm, a type of TD-learning, for credit assignment in complex reinforcement learning scenarios was first-rate and sadly still under-attended. In that setting, GAs were a search operator, focused on exploration while bucket brigade was for credit assignment. While GAs can be shown to be capable of doing adaptation as well as exploration, they really were meant to be part of a bigger whole by their inventor.

In fact, Deepmind's AlphaStar for Starcraft problem formulation can be seen as fitting into the learning classifier system framework where learners are themselves quite powerful neural networks. See: https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/handle/2027.42/2777...
