And well, why not? Chinese love their country and their country is doing well. It's very much in the tradition of a Pravda but as they say themselves with a mouthful:

If you're a part of the party cadres, it's part and parcel of it and you have to signal your devotion. And isn't this a great way.
To me, it feels odd when people with children comment that they don't have the same amount of time. It was a choice: children or have more free time. People with kids often seem upset by the results of their choices.

It would be like me complaining that I'll end up dying alone. Well, duh, self -- you chose to not have kids so you could experience other things.

Sure, not releasing the full trained model probably delays it, but sooner or later a bad actor will do their own scraping and train their own model and share it around and the genie will be out of the bottle. Then what?

I think we need to be conducting AI research (and building software generally) under the assumption that all of it will eventually be repurposed by bad actors. How would our practices be different if we consistently and cautiously did this?

Here's a thought experiment: how would the Manhattan project have been different if it were carried out in the open and its products were instantaneously and infinitely reproducible? What is the MAD equilibrium of AI research? I think the impact potential is similar even before AGI.
Harmless yes, but is it useful? Probably not. I have been teaching people Ruby and till this day, I have a hard time answering whenever a student asks me what the benefit of using Symbols over Strings is.

I know it was in place early on for memory / performance reasons but as of Ruby 2.2, there are zero-performance gains using symbols over strings. Unfortunately it's too late to deprecate them since it's a widely adopted practice.

When I teach Ruby, I try to evangelize how simple Ruby is but always hits the breaks whenever I have to explain Symbols.

And ultimately, no matter how much I try to ignore, I just can't stand how this looks:

opts = { adapter: :mysql}

It looks like a double wall of some sort which is fine for those who are used to it but not for those beginning. (Especially those coming from other languages like Python, PHP, and JS)

Symbols also cause occasional havoc when using 3rd-party libraries because they all have different preference of when to use it and when not to.

So IMO, there are no benefit of Symbols and it just creates confusion more than anything. And that is really the point I am making. I have a hard time reasoning with those PHP/Python folks why Symbol exists and it shouldn't really be that way.
Yes. If only we let capitalism take its course these closeted pedophiles wouldn't have to hide behind watching asrm videos.

Domain driven design from Eric Evans is a great resource for learning about how/where to separate out services.

You will learn about how to model complex domain models and how to decompose them into Aggregate's. The Aggregate is the key to where to create new microservices, as each aggregate should only contain domain objects that relate to itself.

Payments is a great example of an Aggregate.
Some of nuclear energy's challenges get a good amount of coverage: politicians unwilling to support it, citizen opposition, and cost overruns and delays at plant currently under construction. Others, less so. And if we discount politics for a moment, the day-to-day economics of new nuclear barely pencil out. Nuclear needs immense capital expenditure vs. other types of generation. Solar gets generous subsidies and doesn't need a lot of opex, wind is similar. And in the US, natural gas is cheap and plentiful, and pairs well with intermittent renewables, and load-following gas turbines are blurring the distinction between baseload generation and peakers.

Despite the wishes of many, pollution externalities are not priced in, and while that is the case and fracking continues to bring up cheap gas, the rule of natgas will continue.

But nuclear's immense capex is a problem nonetheless. While reactor designs purport to be off-the-shelf, the each plant itself is a one-off. There's no institutional memory and hardly any re-use of expertise, there's no economies of scale -- just all the hallmarks of difficult megaprojects. Sound familiar?

This is why research into 'small modular reactors' is promising. Plenty of political barriers remain, but removing some institutional barriers and easing some of the economic ones would improve nuclear energy's prospects.
NY does not need 25k jobs, it's growing fast. So no, it'll be better off with real tax paying businesses. Maybe they'll start slower, but it won't be a problem.

So no, that's NOT the choice to be made. That choice is something you've pulled from nowhere.
It is a fallacy to suppose British citizens gained rights by diluting their votes with tens of millions of European votes. That is a loss of rights, not a gain. As an elected official, I know first hand that the smaller the population of my constituency, the more responsive I can and must be.

Why can't wasm just use opaque handles for DOM objects? It doesn't need them to be in wasm-accessible memory, after all. It just needs to be able to invoke methods on them.
> And so the New Left environmentalists attacked nuclear energy as somehow bad for the environment.

This would be more of a caricature against "many environmentalists" than it is against "the New Left". The Green New Deal has been getting approving reviews from all over that quarter, seemingly including all of the Democratic presidential candidates and many in the legislature. Given that the GND rules out nuclear energy, is it really such a caricature?
Yep! He gave the talk just before me

From personal experience I'd say it's 100% worth it for the networking alone (as long as you are open, willing, and able to actually do it authentically), not to mention the knowledge gained from the speakers.

Over the years I've earned easily 10x in contracts what I spent on tickets, airfare, and hotels/transportation/food across all events, not to mention gaining new friends, colleagues, and industry connections. I highly recommend finding the right conference(s) and hitting them as often as you can, even if it's just once every few years.

But don't limit yourself to just the big conferences, either. Finding the right Meetups and smaller venues and groups can be just as valuable. You'll get as much out of them as you put into them.
Better for who? Better how? Queens is already richly diverse in both income and in every other category worth listing. There is nothing that the borough lacks that mythical tech workers will bring in their wake.

On the contrary, much of what makes Queens quite unique is threatened by the one thing we know would follow on the heels of something like an Amazon HQ landing here: even more heated real estate speculation fueled by absentee capital, small businesses losing their leases, rent hikes, and general homogenization.

Nothing about Queens needs to be preserved in amber, but neither does anything about Queens require some intervention to bring up to par. Possibly public transit but that is true of every borough.
There are so many ways to have fun where your money goes to support creative expression, or fitness, or some other positive end. Gambling is about extracting money from people who desperately need it, at a much faster rate than most other entertainment options, and specifically deceiving those people by hiding the price tag to prevent a cost-benefit analysis.
Of course I don't consider myself insulated from these platforms.

That's what I mean by "Write privacy regulation." That's separate from the whole news/propaganda/content thing.

And the "first they came..." poem is a ridiculous comparison. I'm not laughing about the oppression of people who have beliefs or traits they stand up for. I'm laughing about people who don't like an unnecessary product but aren't willing to walk away.
I hate this new trend where existing text you are reading is faded out and replaced with an ad. So you have to scroll up to read what you were reading, then hit the ad again.... only to scroll past the ad and realize they don't show the previous paragraph... to hit the ad again.

I'm sure it's great for ad impressions, but the hate it generates surely outweighs any possible benefit to the advertiser.

No wonder revenue per ad is dropping.
I don't understand how Twitter and Facebook can simultaneously be accused of Monopoly. They're competitors in the same market
Simple test: is a component of your application, which you could logically separate into its own thing, going to be used by at least “the app” + 1 other app?
It is expensive, but you're being overly critical I think. There are a lot of paid tools in the $1500 - $5000 range just for a single user and some cost even more for deployment. If it had cost $10k I would call it insane, but $3,600 isn't too crazy.
The point is that we're already selling citizenship for money.

In your original example, the only reason why it would ever make sense is if the Saudi prince in question can somehow produce more wealth for the public than they'd pay in taxes. In that scenario, it's exactly the same in the end, once you balance everything - you have sold them citizenship for money.

And if they don't pledge to earn you more than you'd save, then why would you even consider such a deal?
Because renewables are regional. They make exceedingly good sense in places like the US midwest or most of Europe where you can build solar / wind and have substantial availability. Solar, by contrast, is much less performant if you live somewhere with less sunlight due to any number of reasons - weather, smog, latitude, etc. Same with wind - it only makes sense to build wind where you get the most wind.

And the trick with those is that its not a zero sum. Even if solar would be viable somewhere less optimal panels are still going to go where solar is cheapest first. And then you are looking at the costs of transporting that power gradually towards areas of reduced renewables efficiency and/or storing it.

To put it even more generally, if the state of Maine were willing to build a fission plant but not buy solar, wind, hydro, etc LET THEM BUILD IT. You can manufacture all the solar panels and windmills you can while also building nuclear plants. The priority has to be shutting down all oil and gas plants as soon as possible by any means available.
That was... interesting. Not so much watching but the feeling when the video ended. Sort of like when you drive for a while and stop and everything seems to be moving backward.
I know this was probably well intentioned, but I can't shake the irony of how overly complex and over-engineered this is. If you're just starting out, please, please, please don't do this.

>to Middle America with an average household income of $70K

1) median is a better metric to use than average for this sort of thing

2) an average of 70K with two incomes is not at all impressive. a single person making 6 figures is doing incredibly well, compared to the average household.
What is the danger here? There are kids making more money on youtube doing other things. Is this sexual? Because nearly anything can be sexual for someone. Some are excited by people popping balloons. The only complete answer is to ban kids from youtube, and that isnt going to happen.

Before going after asmr, take a close look at who watches the gymnastics and cheerleading "demos". Pole dancing is also now a sport for kids. That is on youtube too.

I once taught a law class where we had to discuss this stuff. If you take away every "sexualized" image of an under-18 you are blacklisting huge areas of modern culture, everything from family sitcoms to superhero movies. Some disney movies have scenes that are shocking when you play them on thier own, many ironically on youtube... which made playing them during lectures much easier on me.
I also am not a tax lawyer. However, at least the NY non-resident form specifies that the tax is only owed on NY sources. Probably, when you are on a work trip, the "source" of your income is still the office you work at in your home state. Also worth noting that if you're only there for a week, you'd have to make a great deal of money annually before you got above the standard deduction cutoff for that state.
When a company and platform grows it's very common to build out an email sending service since you can only send so many emails per second.

> Not as a challenge to you, but just out of curiosity, how old were your kids when you started the latter business? I

After they started school. The wife started looking at turning a hobby into a business. A couple pivots along the journey, and it wasn't until last year that we hit on something solid (so about 4 years later, so obviously an "overnight" success). It's still a lot of work, and it's by no means guaranteed, but it's off to a great start.

It's also turning into something else we can build.

What does this require? A desire to make it happen. My wife is the one who deserves the credit. We are here because of her desire to build something. But it's that balance between kids in school and working after they go to bed, and still finding a way to balance work and life. Again, it comes down to choices.

One more minor note, both of our kids have autism, and one is non-verbal, so it's not like they are self-sufficient (the younger one is moreso).

And yes, having a baby is going to impact you right now. It's fine. Use this time to enjoy life. =)
This is extremely fatalistic. I agree that the system is severely flawed, but your conclusion that struggle for a better country is pointless is hopeless, and is not shared by a lot of the country. for many people, political struggle is necessary. This sort of fatalism is only really a tenable position when your livelihood is not at stake.

H-1B is temporary work visa. It is the visa that is temporary, not the individual, because folks who come in on H-1B are LEGALLY allowed to apply for a green card, and once they get it they are permanent and can start their own companies.

H-1B visa is the reason silicon valley exists. Ask Mark Zuckerberg why he moved Facebook HQ to silicon valley. It is because that's where the engineers are. If H-1B didn't exist Zuckerberg would have moved considerable number of jobs to places like Beijing, Bangalore and St. Petersburg, because that's where he would have found software engineers.
Nope, we're still using the same system. Wow...the first time I mentioned that here was 2013. Ouch. It's something I've wanted to work on all this time but just haven't been able to fit it in. Some students used it as a group project [1] last semester, though, and another group of students may pick it up this semester...so I'm hopeful.

I've gone to conferences as a startup owner, where part of the cost was subsidized by government. They were fun but not very helpful. I've met a lot of people who were excited and wanted to close a deal, but kept dragging it out until I took it for a polite rejection.
The smaller the population of your constituency, the more responsive you can be to the individuals in your consistency, but the less money and influence you have to actually address their needs.

In the US, there's a reason national politics tends to get more attention and news coverage than state politics, much less city/county politics. (In this case, I genuinely think that local politics receives too little attention, but that's neither here nor there.)
I haven't seen a Haskell reference in 6 months. I remember when many weekend submissions were around Haskell.
Just wait until China figures out next-generation nuclear power generation and eclipses what the US is capable of. They will. Because they don't seem to be concerned with the BS talking points like our bubble-brained climate "scientists" and dishonest and or paid-off politicians. They also seem to be able to take the risks.

I fully expect that the next great ideas of how to do energy production is going to happen elsewhere, because the US keeps shooting itself in the foot and going "well it's expensive and solar and wind and ..." instead of looking at it as an investment that secures our status and capability well into the future.
A lot of the advancements that made the Manhattan project were published by the Germans. On hearing about Hiroshima, Otto Hahn was "'shattered,' and went on to say that he felt 'personally responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people,' believing that his discovery had made the bomb possible." (https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/opinions/1992/03/01/t...)
I don't understand why people don't like that. If you hate it so much, why not write a plugin for your text editor that collapses it? This will make read the Go code much faster, and only peek in if you are curious. The proposed `check` keyword will not remove the cognitive load this generates either.

The way I see it, I'd rather have it. Took maybe 30 seconds to write, eliminated a whole class of bugs, and if I don't like it, I will write that plugin to hide it.
Sorry to say mate but maybe... I’d usually pop that on a queue and get a separate service to pick it up... maybe that’s what you’re doing?
Not a landlord, but I imagine there are oodles of benefits to it from their perspective. If I can rent you an apartment for $4000.00 a month but tell you "$3666.67 (net rent w/ first month free)", then:

- Come next year, the default position is "you get a 10% rent hike by just paying the number on the lease."

- if you leave after a year, I've got price history at $4000 a month and can use that as an anchor for negotiations with the next tenant

There's nothing that says I have to start from fair market value and take a month off either. Say I call the apartment price 12/11ths of market value, but then advertise the net number and each month your great deal lets you pay only 11/11ths of FMV.

Bloomberg had something about this today[1] - something like 45% of leases in NYC have similar concessions.

Isn't some of that due to regulatory ratcheting which is instigated by environmentalists who want to delay and make the economics unfeasible?

LIC and the rest of the broader NYC region has been undergoing gentrification for many years now, and Amazon probably would not have had much impact on that. Amazon's vertical integration will impact local businesses regardless of where they place their offices. The reason New Yorkers are not going to suffer is that there are tons of jobs in NYC and numerous big corporate offices. This is probably one of the most overblown issues in NYC politics that I can remember.

The site in question is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site 'Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch'; its description by UNESCO [1] mentions, in part:

"It features a wide diversity of ecosystems, including successional stages due particularly to the retreat of glaciers resulting from climate change. The site is of outstanding universal value both for its beauty and for the wealth of information it contains about the formation of mountains and glaciers, as well as ongoing climate change." [1]

Not entirely sure how a new dam would be compatible with its heritage designation, but it would certainly continue to illustrate ongoing climate change.
