I’m in the US at the moment, road tripping around, never quite sure where I’ll be, even a few days out. Hence why It’s easier to buy local, than via any online store.

But searching for products in the local area / at local stores is nearly impossible.

Using google is useless, everything is e-commerce listings.

And even if you search many local stores directly they make it nearly impossible to determine if the products are actually in stock/in store vs part of their ecommerce offering / available in store in 3-5 days.

Does anyone know any decent options?
The original post is called "What even is a number?". The comment I replied to tried to answer that question with "some formalism".

What I'm saying is: questioning foundations leads you to new foundations. New foundations that you can then question all over again. It's turtles all the way down.

If you're actually looking to use math, this is a futile exercise. It works, so just use it. Essentially, I am re-iterating von Neumann's statement:

> In mathematics you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
The things I like more as an "external" person given that I handle the OSS part and I'm not directly involved in the internal products development, if not as a technical advisor, are:

1. Transparent clustering. You talk to that thing like if it was a single instance and it scales to the cluster. Failover and so forth happen automatically. It'a a lot higher level than Redis Cluster (which also they support as a protocol), there are good and bad things in the different designs, but I like how well it works.

2. CRDTs store for multi master, also across far geographical area.

3. Redis on flash, using different persistent memory types. This feature originated from an early experiment I did years ago, called "diskstore", then Redis Labs worked at it many years and reached a quite cool thing.

4. All the above can be installed in your servers if you want very high memory setups that is impossible to pay for on the cloud.

5. The various modules like RedisGraph, RedisSearch and so forth are only available in the Redis Labs cloud (or you can install manually on your server). Some of those modules like RedisGraph is receiving years of development.

6. I know that the support team and everybody at Redis Labs really knows Redis. Which was one of the main reasons eventually I joined the company. So I think they are able to handle core-level issues for every user having troubles. A lot of Redis operational improvements came from Redis Labs core/support team after investigating issues with customers.

AFAIK those are the stuff I like more from the external but honestly they do a number of things I don't know very well for certain big customers.
Can you please make a similar list for the Democratic party?

50 cents is the difference between real mail spam and email spam.
Every time I see a feminine name in a videogame I think the person is just fishing for attention. This is important because most players of both genders use neutral-looking names. The study doesn't account for this.
Walmart's website will tell you if it's available in their local store. You can also order online and pick up at the store without a delivery fee.

You can also return or exchange items at a different Walmart if you keep your receipt.
The same sort of tools are often used for accessing IOT devices running "in the wild" by the applications managing them. Ngrok has also themselves at times marketed for this purpose (although they now call it "ngrok link", but it seems to be the same underlying tech).

It's basically using the same tactics as a RAT used by hackers, but used for legitimate uses.
They also let you run WebAssembly in addition to JavaScript. It’s something I’m very excited about.
Whenufree is the pinnacle of scheduling apps. When2meet and Doodle are clunky and terrible on mobile. Didn't know how I lived without it.
Dependencies take many years to move. It's rotting slowly, not falling apart.

A software that brings a hundred million dollars couldn't fall apart, the company would get guys to reboot the server and have a look.

The rare cases of software suddenly dying is when the source code and/or the setup is lost. The software or the database stops one day and nobody can figure out how to start it again. There is a lot of blame to put on both development and management for reaching this situation.
The Times submission around this was flagged. Considering this particular issue actually does have a few overlaps with tech, given the nature of Saudi investment/Softbank and the tech transfer (which often stays on the front page when it’s China), as well as nuclear (which also tends to stay on the front page) - it would be nice if this isn’t flagged and there could be a substantial discussion on it.
My sister and BIL are both academics, and didn't "live together" for probably around 10 years, 6+ of which were after marriage. They bought a house together in the city my sister taught in, and my BIL commuted on the weekends sometimes, and they spent summers together, but it took the better part of a decade for them to both land jobs in the same city. It's incredibly common.
I'm looking at tattoo artists and judging them on their Instagram photos. There's a few things like this I would check social media for, but mostly I'm looking at reputation (reviews and writeups) rather than photos and other social presence.
By object he is probably talking about matter in a solid state which would exclude gas or plasma. Also given Oumuamua's rotation rate the pieces of matter that makes up the object probably has to have some bounds with each other or it would fly apart.
> I found this article [0] with a real world application, but no performance comparison to a digital computer.

This is impossible right now, no one is really making analog computers to make this comparison.
This was an amazing deduction.

I dont understand the key component of the article about the radiation from the sun giving it a boost. These scientists were able to make all these deductions about its shape and why from this, but what? How does radiation propel in any circumstance? Are we saying molecules change composition? Electrons moving to another state? What
I can't say with 100% certainty that it would have no effect, but the following may be of use:

Frequency of Brain Waves

State Frequency range State of mind

Delta 0.5Hz–4Hz Deep sleep

Theta 4Hz–8Hz Drowsiness (also first stage of sleep)

Alpha 8Hz–14Hz Relaxed but alert

Beta 14Hz–30Hz Highly alert and focused
Yes, that's kind of what I have in mind.

I'm not sure how the GUI for creating recipes would work. It would probably need to be pretty complex.

I have an idea in my mind where you arange premade blocks on a canvas and connect them with pipes (a patch based UI like Quartz Composer), but I doubt that this would really be the best way to do it.

There's also tasks that are one-off (eg. migrate data from one system to another) and things that need to happen regularly or even continuously.
No it isn't. It's first come with tons of money served.
Obviously, a number of issues present in the study, but I can appreciate they tried to account for some of them. Lots of variables are unaccounted for like time of day, win/loss, character, what the researcher said in chat, etc.

Similarly, the opening preamble points out that often the worst harassment is potentially related to when players hear female voices. Obviously there is a different way you could do this study, which would be to invite ~300 players of various skill levels to play a single game and record the results for analysis. That type of study would have it's own problems, but you could at least be more likely to control for some of the problems in this study.
I get offering discounts for large-scale use, because otherwise the rate card might go beyond what it would cost to recreate your product inhouse. But no published pricing even for prototyping? "I am altering the deal, pray I don't alter it any further" is what runs through my head. What happens when we're seriously dependent on it?
It looks a lot like you were saying these are similar. I'm not sure what else your comment could mean. What was your intended meaning?
Arguably, ICANN's jurisdiction.

gTLDs have very different rules under ICANN from ccTLDs. For the most part, ccTLDs, the ones governed by countries are very subject to those own countries laws/jurisdictions as ICANN has let countries be relatively sovereign in their domain name usage. This is a part of why it is even possible for there to be colonialist/imperialist baggage in domain names, because ICANN won't interfere in "local" politics, it "simply" allows ccTLD registrars to act as they see fit. Once "hip" ccTLDs have had domains seized in regime changes, for example.

Meanwhile, as mentioned elsewhere in these threads, ICANN has a much more hands on regulatory approach to non-country-code gTLDs. They have formal escrow requirements and complicated seizure/forfeiture rules intended to protect domain registrants. These are not entirely immune to political battles, but are generally more "internationally protected".

Anyway, the point is awareness. Use a ccTLD if it makes you happy, just be aware that there is a different risk footprint than a gTLD.

> unrealistic standards propagate at full speed nonetheless

"Propagate"? If you mean e.g. unrealistic physical standards, it seems that (at least in the US) in recent years, there has been more and more fat people, and more and more acceptance of "different" bodies (trans, fat, alternative styles - in fashion and society), so if anything, I'd say the reverse...
I live in Palo Alto and don't see the small strawberries I'm used to even at the two farmer's markets. They're always the huge ones. I'm used to the tiny ones the size of my fingernail. I grow them myself (they spread everywhere) but I never see them in shops around here.
They hired him to be a tenured professor, but fired him before he started his job and argued that he wasn't hired yet in the first place. The lawsuit & settlement was about that.
The author doesnt mention the FUD that is being spread through tech media. "AI company is so afraid of its creation, it won't release its source code". Good job helping people understand their AI future. This is a PR stunt. Come on, a little extra spam is not shocking news, and whatever can be used to spread "fake news" can also be used to spread "correct news". Whatever the PR stunt they tried to pull, it is creating a bad narrative for AI.
This is the same response I gave to throwawaymath:

As someone who's spent a lot of time around Republicans, their driving mantra is that any means justifies the ends. The most principled still believe in something resembling admirable ends behind all the actions they take, but even those are a dying species.

You misunderstand the implementation of the Monroe Doctrine.

The optics of it were anti-colonial. The implementation of it was absolutely colonial. This is one of the many baffling contradictions of America.

Central and South American states were only allowed to be independent of European rule. They were, and continue to, be client states of Washington. When they forget this, they get regime-changed.

America's 19th and 20th century adventures in Hawaii, the Philippines, Samoa, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the annexation of Mexico's territories, and deportation and repression of native Americans were all colonial power grabs - and all performed under the aegis of the Monroe Doctrine.

This is the fundamental difference between the British Empire of yesteryear, and the American empire of today. The British public was never confused as to whether or not it was at the head of a globe-spanning empire.
Alien life would be a natural phenomenon, ultimately; on a deep analysis any phenomenon is natural.

We make a differentiation between phenomenon wrought from cognition, but that cognition is - at least in part - a natural phenomenon too.

Is this distinction founded in dualist philosophies(mind-body and/or material-spirit)? Does it make sense to make for monistic materialists?

We might not ultimately recognise alien construction as coming from some intellect, plenty of creatures create structures on Earth (as do physical processes) with high complexity that are not considered to result from cognition.
Yes, but not Redis open source, which has been and always will be Free Open Source Software http://antirez.com/news/120. The 'Redis' that people pay for is Redis Enterprise, or any of the cloud versions of Redis such as Redis Cloud.

> But the underlying concepts are more..complicated.

Can you expand on this?
Well, yeah. Axioms are not deduced, they are the starting points for the various theories that are deduced from them. (There is not much you can deduce ex nihilo.)

Did you have some further point?

If you were hoping that mathematics would have - or thinking that it _should_ have - some ontological foundation that is not in this sense "made up", I'm afraid it simply doesn't.
So Series A is already the 65th round, right?
There's been multiple reports of people dying through headphones. Maybe they're all bogus, but considering an ER doctor presumably knows nothing about electronics, I'll disregard his opinion. Instead I'll listen to what an electronics engineer thinks about counterfeit chargers:

I wish there were some public data on the impact of removing those - app start latency, battery consumption, bandwidth, etc. I bet there are positive impacts for the customers other than just privacy.
It's a known click bait tactic, so I'm guessing probably yes.
None of this rules out the idea that it is a vessel and or from a civilization

This was interesting.
I've seen lots of unflagged articles on here about world events which aren't necessarily related to tech, and given that this is a .gov website, there shouldn't be (as much) concern about it being politically charged.
I find it hard to believe there is any novelty in romance category to begin with. I bet she is not the first one and won't be the last. Better to leave this category into hands of ML.
Since the workers are stateless, you may want to have your services closer to the data store, instead of the user.
I recently learned about side channel attacks on ChaCha20, and all other ARX ciphers.

ChaCha20 and its kin are of course resistant to timing side channels by their nature. Without thinking about it I had assumed they would resist other forms of side channel too (cache, power, EM, etc). ChaCha20 performs the exact same operations every time, regardless of its inputs. And the mixing should eventually lead to an even mixture of flip-flopping towards the middle of the cipher. So, how could it be exposed to any side channel?

Well apparently it's still weak to power (and EM by proxy) analysis: https://eprint.iacr.org/2017/1021

I haven't had the time or inclination to study the paper in depth. But if understood it correctly, the very act of accessing memory exposes the data being accessed. Even if the power difference between accessing, say 0xaf and 0x30 is so infinitesimal, it's apparently enough to correlate with power analysis and crack keys.

Quite amazing.
If you imagine a dirty snowball, then sling it past a star so that all the ice melts and leaves, you might be left with something vacuum welded together, but very fluffy for its size. Perhaps the same time that it lost all its volatiles is also what ejected it from some system, a slingshot around some other star.
Overwatch remains one of the most toxic games I've ever played. I've put well over 1,000 hours into that game but haven't played for about 9 months now, and honestly its a breath of fresh air (to not deal with it anymore). There's something about the rank structure of the game (and others I've heard about like LoL and Dota) that encourages beratement.

Apex Legends conversely has been amazing in comparison. Maybe its because its new, the tagging system, that its a free game, or that there is no ranked structure (yet), but I've met nothing but cheery people and the occasional crude drunk. I've played with a couple shy women, but (anecdotally) have seen not one iota of what i've seen in Overwatch (aside from crude usernames that are prevalent everywhere).

At first I was confused about the screenshot/mockup. I think it’s meant to show what you could be signing up to.

I’m not sure the in-app experience is all that helpful. I’d prefer to see a video of some cool stuff that people might share. Some quick cuts of what you think could be the power of this network.

I think this landing page doesn’t need much more than that video and a sign up link. (Exaggerating but you get the idea)

I am no serial entrepreneur, I have no experience in this area. Just opinions. Good luck
I used the advanced mode in uBlock Origin with default-deny on all 3rd-party frames and scripts for a while. It does get tiring after a while to go in and noop sites to fall back to the filter lists, and reload. Rinse and repeat until the site works. It's especially annoying on mobile.

It especially tends to break online payment solutions, I've had more than one purchase go haywire, including one where I just got the "order confirmed!" page instantly, without ever entering any payment details. Their support guy was a little bit confused about that one ;-)

So now I put my trust in the block lists, Privacy Possum, Decentraleyes and Firefox' built-in fingerprinting resistance function ("privacy.resistFingerprinting" in about:config).

The latest additions are Multi-Account Containers and Temporary Containers. Every new site opens in a sandboxed temporary container that gets deleted 15 minutes after I close the last tab in it. This discards all cookies, cache, everything stored about that site, except browsing history entries. Think of it as a cookie autodelete on steroids. I have permanent containers set up for sites where I want to store the login or other information, such as HN or FB. Each site can only see its own container, so there's no cross-site tracking.
Yes, always, both.

There's almost certainly a non-trivial sales team spend here. Redis Enterprise isn't a decision that organizations take lightly, and databases aren't cheap. Mongo is public on a similar model, so there's almost certainly enough room to grow with their current offerings (licenses and hosting).

Based on 238 employees, they're probably at $25m+ in revenue. Many companies start to think about a "second act" at this point, but few of them actually pull it off. So we'll probably continue to see improvement around the core product and a slew of new integrations, but I'd be surprised if they came up with a totally standalone new product that's worth $X0,000,000 / year in short order. There's too much to do with Redis itself and the hosting platform to devote so much effort to a brand new effort.
I agree that it’s perfectly reasonable to be expected to be able to give an account of how you spend your time. My point is simply that whether or not this becomes an exercise in serf-like dehumanization and Taylorism depends on the fundamental organizational structure of the workplace, not the technical details of its implementation.
> People that are born rich and wealthy in the US generally do not fall to a lower socioeconomic class

This is inaccurate. Only 40% of people in the top quintile of wealth stay there as adults; 60% fall into a lower bracket.

> People in the lower classes tend to not rise

This is also inaccurate. 57% of people born into the bottom quintile escape this quintile as adults.

The reality of the situation in the US is that from an absolute mobility standpoint, it's easier for the poorest quintile of americans to escape their economic class, but the income disparity between classes continues to grow so quickly that relative mobility is severely lower for the poor.

I'm not sure whether that sentence from the article actually makes sense.

But to answer your question more generally: you start with some model, with one or more parameters for which you don't know the value. e.g. "the galaxy contains N uniformly spread out interstellar objects that are big enough to see if they happen to come within 1 AU of Earth."

Then we start watching the sky, and after 10 years we see 1 such object.

Then for each possible value of N, you could calculate the probability of observing exactly 1 such object during a decade. One particular value of N is going to give us the highest likelihood of getting that result. We call that value the "maximum likelihood estimate" for N.

It's a news release from a representative's office. Surely a news article from a reputable outlet would be less "politically charged" (whatever that means)?
This isn't really a party issue. This is a systemic issue.

I agree there is a pattern, but you really didn't try very hard to show both sides.

Top of my head was Operation Fast and Furious which was an Obama era scandal.

How Remote Work Helps Companies Scale
If we're going to talk about no free will existing until certain systems are in place, I would say systems of actual good medical care, without financial stress when you have a serious illness, are a pre-requisite to having "free will" to decide to end one's life when in such a situation. Giving up because you are financially ruined and still can't get attentive medical care is no more "free will" then _not_ killing yourself because "systems in place" aren't available to help you do it.
