I'd take Apples comments about the way Spotify treats artists with a huge pinch of salt. Spotify can only work with the labels and they're the ones who pay the artists. Often for a pittance, yes, but that's outside of Spotify's control. In fact labels are the ones who have been asking for higher mark ups in distribution while paying less to the artists and it's because of this we've seen so many music streaming services go under. Despite what Apple say, it's not that lucrative a market for most streaming services.

So I really wouldn't take Apples rebuttal at face value either. It doesn't line up with what any other the other streaming services (both current nor the ones that closed shop because they simply couldn't afford the exorbitant rights being demanded) have claimed over the years, and it certainly doesn't line up with what I experienced back when I was involved in the music scene myself (which was some years ago now - but sadly it's an industry that showed no sign of adapting even then)
I've been in the back of too many Cracker Barrels to ever eat at one again. A lot of my peers who ended up working at McDonalds or other restaurants say the same thing.

'Now spam means "anything the user doesn't want to receive".'

Spam means anything from someone who is indifferent to whether the recipient wants to receive it and doesn't get "sufficient" permission. I think this is consistent with the original type of spam, even if there is no bright line delineating it.

If you're implying that anything with a working unsubscribe link shouldn't be considered spam, then I think this definitional issue relates to the same controversies about what constitutes consent that have been discussed a lot recently.

I mean, I agree with your last paragraph, so far as that goes, but I would suggest rather than the definition of spam changing, ordinary businesses got spammier/sleazier.
> Wigner can even perform an experiment to determine whether this superposition exists or not. This is a kind of interference experiment showing that the photon and the measurement are indeed in a superposition. From Wigner’s point of view, this is a “fact”—the superposition exists. And this fact suggests that a measurement cannot have taken place.

> But this is in stark contrast to the point of view of the friend, who has indeed measured the photon’s polarization and recorded it. The friend can even call Wigner and say the measurement has been done (provided the outcome is not revealed).

A bit of a stretch saying that protons lose their superposition based on the content of a conversation.
Sounds like a fun weekend project to replicate this for a ton of other stuff and not require a service.
Snow is really important. It is quantified as “SWE” or snow water equivalent, the amount of water that would be released when the snow melts.

SWE is monitored by satellites, aircraft, and by in situ measurements like from snow pillows. In California, the state DWR tracks SWE to estimate reservoir influx.

> 'm not interested in "incentives". The purpose of law is justice, not social engineering.

The purpose of law has always been social engineering. Various concepts of justice may either provide the desired outcome toward which that engineering is directed, and appeal to some concepts of justice may be an integral component of how law seeks to acheive the outcome to which it is directed, but it is all, invariably, social engineering.
1lb to 2lb a week sounds reasonable to me, particularly when paired with an exercise routine. Taking a year to lose 50lbs seems like a huge motivational issue..

I recall reading about a study over the past couple years that indicated people on crash diets were more likely to hit their goals and not more likely to regain the weight. And that's much more aggressive. IMHO if somebody wants to lose weight, I would recommend they clear it with their doc and get after it with as much(little?) energy as they can muster!

I tend to agree. That said, I rather like V’s short primitive type names (i32, u32, f32, f64, etc.).

But why do definitions put the type _after_ the field/variable name? So many of your type names are the same length! Think of the beautiful column alignment you could have if you put the type _first_!

It's not exactly "losing information". We are not trying to regenerate original data, just make sure that all source bits can fairly influence the result. It's more a question of bit contribution.

In the resulting 64-bit register, bit-0 can only be contributed by the first bit-0 of each 32-bit input. So it's only representative of these 2 bits.
Same at the other end, bit-63 mostly depending on bit-31 of each 32-bit input, and also on carry over from previous bits (making things more complex).

In the middle, many more bits participate, so that's where they are "well mixed".

This question of bit distribution becomes critical if the 64-bit accumulator was used "as is" to produce a hash, but fortunately it's not.
Accumulators will get mixed before that stage. When the mixing function is done correctly, every bit will get redistributed to the point of saturation. After which point, it does not matter that initially one accumulator's bit had less contributions than another : all source bits contributes fully. This can be easily verified with SMHasher's Avalanche test.

Finally, XXH3 does not follow UMAC too closely, and adds an operation which ensures that all bits are necessarily present at least once in the accumulator. This compensate from the risk of multiplying by zero, which _is_ dangerous for checksumming, as it would nullify a contribution.
And condolences to our selves in parallel timelines where this experiment was never conducted.

A curious detail I noticed:

What's really interesting to me is the philosophical interpretation of this... as if something wants the experience of things within the universe to be somehow consistent. That implies intelligence and not just randomness.

Stacking Model Y Against Its Electric SUV Competition
Just don’t expect to measure the paper’s impact factor.
Again, earning increased revenue doesn't justify supporting unethical and/or illegal behavior from the advertising networks.
Imagine the simplest “compiler” for python or perl or JavaScript that doesn’t compile anything but just interprets it. There’s a lot of advantages to not having to wait for compilation. One can write a large and useful program with reasonable speed ups just from stupid compilation as many programs don’t need to be particularly fast.

One can imagine modifying the compiler to output llvm bitcode. You now can throw plenty of optimisation at it for free (but you are now slower to compile). This may be useful for prod but I claim a lot of the time it’s still useful for dev to have a simple very very fast compiler. Think less about the time to build one file and more of the time to rebuild your entire tree (or just a file which many things depend on)

Of course not. I think it goes without saying that within any technical domain is the capacity for a top ~5% performer, who understand such a depth of that domain that it becomes a specialization in itself.

I'm merely stating that the domain itself, is not by default, a high enough barrier to entry to merit any kind of above average salary. Of course if you're a much higher performer, with a much deeper knowledge base within that domain, then your pay will likely reflect that.
You don't edit Wikipedia with the intent of putting new information in there. The culture of Wikipedia will notice you as a foreign presence and push you out. You edit Wikipedia with the intent of improving Wikipedia. When you do that, some of your edits will add new information to Wikipedia as a means of improving Wikipedia. But that addition will have been a tactic for satisfying your terminal goal of improving the encyclopedia, not a direct attempt at satisfying your terminal goal of having this information be in the encyclopedia. The community can tell the difference.

By analogy: a small farming village has a commons. Someone who grazes their cows on the commons, then sells the milk and meat to the townsfolk, is just participating in the economy, and the townsfolk are fine with that. Someone who herds their cows in from the next town over, grazes the cows on the commons, and then herds the cows back home—and never otherwise interacts with the community? Not okay. That's sociopathic behavior. They're not a member of the community; they're just taking advantage of it for their personal benefit.

Wikipedia's editors are smart enough to recognize what someone looks like when they're just trying to take advantage of Wikipedia for their own (PR) benefit. The edits might be the same, either way (just as both farmers above graze their cows in the commons in the same way, either way); it's the context that determines whether the edits are acceptable.

> As it should be. It's not appropriate to unilaterally exert power over people who have not consented to it through the establishment of a constitution, legislative controls, and shared ideals that hold that power as authoritative.

The US should not multilaterally accept the prosecution of war crimes because it's not appropriate to unilaterally exert power over people? That makes no sense.

On top of that, the US doesn't even agree with your position, because the US was the primary driver behind the Nuremberg trials to prosecute German war criminals after WW2, despite Germany not having consented to it through the establishment of a constitution, legislative controls or shared ideals.
From a Many Worlds point of view at least, they absolutely could, because the superposition represents ignorance in the mind of infinitely many Wigners, but once you remove the ambiguity you are just dealing with one specific Wigner, who would then know which Everett branch he is actually on (at least ip to the ambiguity of this particular experiment).

> Few countries are going to block 8chan at the router. So it's going to happen again.

Good. Blocking websites is not the answer. But you're probably wrong. The powers that be are itching for an excuse to just start blanket banning speech they don't like.

So many people who claimed to be so against censorship when China did it are now coming around to their way of doing things.

I think we owe China an apology for criticizing their censorship policies, when we ourselves are now just re-implementing their great firewall for ourselves. Their justification is identical; they wanted to protect the people from "dangerous misinformation" (fake news).

I have seen so many people in the last few years say that they're be happy to throw out all of our hard won freedoms because they are afraid of some 4chan trolls.

I'm sorry that you are so fearful and easily manipulated. I'm sorry for you that you support pernicious censorship policies so that you don't have to think about what really goes on in your country.
welcome to IT :-). I usually wait for something to be asked for twice before doing, cause the first time is often just noise (oh you really want that). Something that takes a bit of work like this I'd usually confirm in an email asking if you really want this, and are happy if I do it this way. Rule of thumb when dealing with management: if its not written down it didn't happen.

Most places have a set of languages / tools they use because everyone knows them, unless there's an extraordinary reason usually stick to these even if there are better tools around. If you want everyone to start using a new tool, then one way is to get some buy in by others, then have a pilot project to evaluate the new tool, weigh the pros and cons etc.
You just stated that it was an exceptional circumstance and now we're saying that it's normal. You played your cards right and got out on top, that's great - congrats.

I can tell you however, that is not a normal run-of-the-mill pay-scale for a Uni graduate.
They both are, with differing connotations.
It's a simple matter of might makes right. Nobody has the power to hold the US or its war criminals accountable, but the US does have the power to hold other countries and their war criminals accountable.

That's simply how this works. There's simply no moral or legal justification for the US's stance towards the ICC compared to their stance in the Nuremberg trials. America's power is the only thing that justifies it.
>Does anybody know or have a name for this bias?

Uh, confirmation bias? Your description is a bit off, it's not that "we notice things we disagree with", but that we notice things that confirms our previous beliefs, in this case that green accounts post opinions that you think come from spies or astroturfers.
All Bay Area cities have to follow mandatory orders for building quotas from a Bay Area organization called ABAG

No, ABAG has no authority that supersedes any city or planning commission.

First hand accounts re older properties

... is a crock. Older properties tend to have even smaller building footprint/ total parcel area ratios.

How about one example of any parcel with a residence footprint taking 80% of the parcel area?

As or that Lennar development, you are totally ignoring common area (exclusive and nonexclusive use).
Thanks. I clarified what I meant above.
It seems like it should be able to offer strict, but the official docs suggest otherwise and clearly distinguish it as different than serializable:

“FoundationDB provides the strongest possible consistency model, sequential consistency (closely related to serializability from the database literature), providing the greatest possible ease of development.”

https://apple.github.io/foundationdb/consistency.html

In other places it says “serializable” but not strict.

Also, read conflicts are not added automatically on dependent reads of conflict-free operations, violating serializability of conflict-full operations.

Finally, if you query range offsets, is the entire prior range locked with a read conflict or just the key at the offset? My understanding is the latter which allows phantoms.

There’s a lot going on here and I would appreciate any clarification you can offer.

I make espresso at home and primarily enjoy premium roasters. By my spreadsheet logs I average ~39 espresso shots/mo, or ~2.1 bags/mo assuming an average of 18g shots. But that frequency can vary with things like travel, etc.

Really what I want is to be able to pick from a variety of my favorite beans across different roasters, and have them delivered in that narrow window right as I have ~72g of beans left in the bag (~4 shots worth), and a roast date that makes it so that just as I'm finishing the bag, I'm about a week past the roast date of the new bag.

I've avoided the subscriptions from roasters because I dislike the idea of ending up with bags I won't use before they go bad, or running short of beans and not having coffee on days when I'm waiting for a delivery. I also like the flexibility to mix things up and frequently changes the roasters and beans I buy.

Is this a fit for me?
I, for one, am actively boycotting sites with invasive tracking technology. To a certain extent, I rely on Hacker News discussion to get the essence of many articles, even on prominent publications, where cinsenting to tracking technology is necessary to read the article. As soon as I see a tracking consent dialogue, I will often leave, and actiively avoid sites that I already know use tracker network tech.

Alternately, maybe you're looking at progressive 3D slices of a 4D spacetime blob, and consistency is tautological in the same way as fitting together 2D slides of a 3D object.

From what I understand, this basic idea of 4D geometry also provides some of the more elegant explanations for the effects of relativity when approaching the speed of light, because time dilation effects reduce down to (relatively) simple 3D trigonometry in a 4D graph.

Of course, that raises predestination questions, because you're treating all of time and space as a single "object".
I wrote some things a few years ago on ATS. Its introductory but real world: https://www.stackbuilders.com/news/specific-endpoints. Generally ATS is good for verifying pure algorithms. It has code generators which can compile ATS to C and JS and the like. So if you have a very crucial piece of code and you want to do some formal verification of the process then you can try to use ATS. Other than that its completely a research language. I used ATS to write some stuff for my arduino 5 or so years ago.
