I’m increasingly thinking that targeted ads are eerily similar to Isaac Asimov psychohistory[0].
E.g. you cannot reliably predict individual behavior, but with right|enough data you can reliably predict how a large enough population will act.

This is why individually we often feel that they’re off the mark, or we’re thrifty enough to ignore the ads or political or other targeting. But like others have pointed out, data is out there, and ‘they’ have infinite tries to get it right. And more importantly, it works already today. And it’s impacting everyone, so as an individuals, we also get impacted in indirect and subtle ways when e.g. friend of ours raves about new toy she bought without even realizing that she chose this product over the other because of all the ads that she never clicked.

I assumed the union talks were for the lower-paid foundation service staff more than the professional class, though I do think there's value in devs/ops organizing to demand more favorable work conditions.

At any rate, Amazon is worried about a snowball effect of other areas unionizing in New York's wake.

I'd recommend his novels as well, they are very accomplished, and they should all be in public domain now.
I'm sorry your efforts failed internally. Our infrastructure is somewhat ossified these days: the new and exotic are not well accepted. Other than Spanner (which is still working to replace Bigtable), I can't think of a ton of really novel infrastructure that exists now and didn't when you were around. I mean, we don't even do a lot of generic distributed graph processing anymore. Pregel is dead, long live processing everything on a single task with lots of RAM.

I suspect your project would have been really powerful had you gotten the support you needed, but without a (6) or a (7) next to your name it's really hard to convince people of that. I know a number of PAs that would benefit now from structuring their problems in a graph store with arbitrary-depth joins and transactions. I work on one of those and cringe at some of the solutions we've made.

We've forgotten what it's like to need novel solutions to performance problems. Instead, we have services we just throw more RAM at. Ganpati is over 128GB (it might even be more) of RAM now, I suspect a solution like dgraph could solve its problems much more efficiently not to mention scalably.

Good on you for taking your ideas to market. I'm excited to see how your solution evolves.
I have no idea how I could ever repay you for those precious links -- you made my night. ( Or how I haven't ever encountered those until now. )
From your cite:

>Based on our main findings, along with the above summary of the general habits of people who use rideshare services, the data seems to suggest (emphasis on “seem”) that many rideshare customers are opting to hail a ride home after an evening at the bar or club, rather than risk driving intoxicated.
It is really cheap to demand that everyone else fight your battles for you. I mean, sure, I'd love to play kindergarten teacher and run around making sure everyone is nice to each other, but I've got my own life here to live, you know? Actually, I wouldn't love to do that, it sounds exhausting, and if you won't do it on your own behalf, why should I? For my part, I treat everyone as fairly as I know how and I expect others to do the same.
What does it have to do with what Google did? Fishing for pre-crime to justify it?
That wasn't the asked question though. And getting a million flown miles isn't all it's cracked up to be; you get a lower level of status guaranteed for life, but given that you're still actively traveling frequently for business you're gonna have a much better level of status anyway. And it all depends on the airline anyway.

American Airlines, for example, only gives you gold status (the lowest level) for life at 1M miles.

Should be pretty easy to show the trail of evidence at the sperm bank. I don't think that's a real risk.
well, seems like it’s not true with coffee.

my understanding of the risks of heart disease and stroke affiliated with smoking is that they’re primarily due to the fact that regular smokers are living their lives in a permanent state of mild carbon monoxide poisoning. CO has a time course on the order of about 10
hours, so if you have more than two smoke breaks a day, your hemoglobin supply is semi-permanently compromised ...
Good example. I would add that you don't need to understand DSP and IIR to understand that particular example (IIR with only one memory case), it's only a 1D barycenter between previous version and last weighted value.
There's nowhere near the number of highly-paid manufacturing jobs anymore. You can make an argument that it's possible for someone to make a good living with a HS education if they play their cards right, but it certainly isn't as probable.

There just is nowhere near the amount of well-paid blue collar jobs, so there are not as many people getting those jobs. Simple as that. This is a big part of why income inequality has become bad. You seem to think that people have suddenly become much more lazy and shiftless than in the past, which is

The proofs you present are entirely constructive and work without appealing to the law of the excluded middle! As was also pointed out by Gödel himself about his proofs, they are obtained in an "intuitionistically unobjectionable manner".

When you say "either/or" in the paper, you make case distinctions that are intuitionistically non-contentious, i.e., you say "either F ⊢ G, then contradiction, so F ⊬ G, or F ⊬ G, then contradiction etc.", but the point is that G is explicitly constructed, so this is intuitionistically acceptable.

In contrast, the other assumption I mentioned is used in the paper and in fact essential for its proofs.
Articles like this always ignore the other side of the issue. Assuming half of vapers would be non-smokers, then every time we eliminate two vapers through clamping down on vaping we generate a cigarettes smoker.

And cigarette smoking is one of the worst public health hazards.
Precisely. This is leveraging the “network effect” that has thus far mostly been a tool of corporate profit for mass benefit.

I yearn for a future where knowledge is distributed in a practical, organizied way such as via Gopher or similar, along with tapping the full potential of email as a one-to-many, many-to-many, and many-to-one communications medium where data is distributed and address ownership is maintained.

This is really getting delusional as far as the average person's abilities. It's also clear that you have been poor. Besides, if you are working minimum wage jobs, you don't have $100 bucks in your pocket because you need that money to pay rent and repair your shitty car so you can keep your job.

Nicotine itself is bad.

Yes, it's probably much better for you to not inhale hot smoke particles in your lungs and all the other ancillary chemicals from cigarettes, but if vaping is undermining decades of hard-fought progress against the single largest preventable cause of death globally (responsible for ~30% of cancer deaths) by bringing in new smokers and reducing the urgency to quit among current smokers I can see how public health officials would be cautious about embracing it.
An amazing amount of biochemistry has been worked out in reverse from drugs and poisons. I once worked on a protein called TOR, which is a key regulator of cell growth; that gets its name because it's the Target Of Rapamycin, rapamycin being a drug.

In fruitflies and nematodes, the preferred way to shake things until they break is mutation rather than drugs, so genes often have names describing what happens when the gene is broken - which is quite confusing. So, another protein i worked on is called Dlg, short for "discs large", because in fruitflies, when missing, the imaginal discs get too big. So you know Dlg's function is somehow to keep imaginal discs small.
Just sayin...did you talk to a doc or is that harmless for side effects?

I disagree. Generally speaking students aren't able to teach themselves mathematics on their own until they hit the graduate level. That's not a hard rule, it just depends on mathematical maturity.

But everyone I know who is able to teach themselves math without lectures or a professor still does the exercises in the textbook. Math isn't a spectator sport, it's really important to do active learning.

Acknowledging that there are differences between populations of men and women isn’t sexist.

Saying “sex shapes X” is acknowledging these are population-level effects.

If they said “women are more X” that would be sexist. Because many women aren’t, regardless of what X is (outside of primary sex characteristics).

As to the article: good reading. I was always mildly curious why literary societies should grow around Robert Browning of all people. It's bewildering: America gripped by Browning fever?

Nicotine is far worse than caffeine.

It basically works as an accelerant, stimulating and encouraging tumor growth and metastasis.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3915512/#S7titl...

"Nicotine, which is the addictive component of tobacco smoke, is unable to initiate tumorigenesis in humans and rodents; at the same time, nicotine has been shown to promote tumor growth and metastasis by inducing cell cycle progression, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration, invasion, angiogenesis, and evasion of apoptosis in a variety of systems (8–13). In addition, nicotine has been shown to induce secretion of growth factors and cytokines altering the physiology of multiple organ systems (8–13). These observations suggest that nicotine likely contributes to the progression and metastasis of tumors that are initiated by tobacco carcinogens."

When someone writes an article about how the other side is doing something wrong, without presenting any content of why your side is right other than vague hand-wavy stuff, that’s a red flag to me. “Bringing it into the 21st century...”

If the thing you’re supporting is good enough to stand on its own, then present why that is, don’t spend the time talking about how the other sides techniques are wrong.
You are incorrect. The only factor used there is the key. The password simply decrypts the key to perform the requested authentication.

2FA would be private key (password-protected) and a separate (most likely one time use) password. Something you have (key that you decrypted) and something you know (the one-time password).

The ice cream is straightforwardly due to the full purchase data being backhauled to the surveillance companies. The real wtf here is assuming that a card not being "used on the Internet" affects anything. People want to cling to this really weird "if I don't see it, it can't be happening model", as opposed to realizing that the surveillance industry is based around operating without your involvement or consent.
I think it's ironic that Bezos is a Libertarian, with a capital L, and his company and values very much reflect this. But, then they try to lean on local and state governments for hand outs and incentives. Then his company throws a fit when they don't get everything they want, despite apparently espousing free market tenants and ideas.

It just feels very hypocritical to the extreme, from a political/philosophical standpoint.

It also feels like they just want the system to always work in their favor, wherever, whenever. Which seems unrealistic and borderline childish.
If they have a purchase minimum, it's because they generally have low ticket values, sub $25 average receipt value. They exchange a low percent (as low as 1.00% on average vs ~%1.75) for a per transaction flat rate (say $.25-$.50 per transaction). The minimum is a way of keeping the processing costs in line (sub 3% for example).

The debit cards have different regulations which as far as I understand, don't exist (ie, it's like the old credit card contracts where they didn't allow you to charge a separate price for cash transactions). This is only my assumption.

There was no discussion on what regulations we had to follow for our merchants when it came to bank network transactions(the deals are brokered on a per bank basis, you can see which networks your card supports by looking at the back of the card for instance). Because of the segregated nature of the debit networks, they have less clout than visa or mastercard.

You know, the really nice thing about this part of your statement is that there's no way to tell which side you're standing...

This whole thread started with Bq/m^2 (i.e., "gross disintegrations per second" per square meter), after all. Of course you can accept some numbers and reject others as invalid/irrelevant, but when your whole argument looks like "I reject this number because nuclear is dangerous", it starts to look awfully like circular reasoning, or propaganda, if you prefer.

The claim: "Journalists and online publications will have more money to keep on financing quality research and news. Despite what you might read, the Copyright directive supports a free press and could enable journalists to get some money when their articles are shared online. Good journalism costs money and without a free press there is no democracy."

The reality: "New copyright directive makes a mockery of journalists' authors' rights" (International Federation of Journalists, https://www.ifj.org/media-centre/news/detail/category/author...)

As an American, I’m not particularly aware of the details of the Copyright Directive, but this article didn’t go into much _detail_ on why it is good or why arguments that it is bad are wrong. Sure, it briefly mentioned that it helps journalists get paid and says that memes aren’t being criminalized, but it seemed to spend most of its time arguing that FAANG are going to benefit the most, and so the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Having seen American copyright law be made more and more restrictive by giant media companies, I tend to be pretty skeptical of any new laws.
Alphabet has too much cash. They have a well established track record of enthusiastically backing exciting new projects way outside of their core competency just to dump them like hot garbage several years later.

They also compete in random new industries each time this happens.

It doesn't seem like a smart move to lease a domain from a politically active mega-monopoly that might decide to randomly become your competitor in 2 years.
We will bail them out when enough voters vote for candidates who support zeroing out this debt, and write it off as a policy mistake.

We’ve wasted trillions on unproductive military initiatives in the Middle East, this would be relatively minor in comparison. The economic productivity realized by these debtors able to be full economic participants instead of having student loan drag for a lifetime outweighs the moral hazard.

The technique of the greatest painters is often not particularly difficult to copy. In my late teens I considered doing replica paintings to make money. I did a few, and I was somewhat surprised at how good they looked and how easy they were, and I’m only technically middling. (The dealer was only offering $200-$600 for them, and with material costs, it wasn’t worth it in the end.)

Some painters are technically amazing and difficult to copy, but they are rarely the greatest artists. John Singer Sargent is one; he had an amazing brush technique that can’t be overworked, yet captures forms and light very realistically - but you’d hardly call him a great artist.

If you add up the total cost of all education institutions in the US, multiply by 4 years, then build a payment structure based on that number, there is simply not enough income left over in the corhort of new grads (first 10 years out of school) to pay the debt service.

The problem has nothing to do with liberal art majors, or irresponsible borrowing.

The problem is entirely driven by an excessive cost structure of both public and private institutions.

People like the founder of Lambda School understand the problem and will be the solution.
