Visualizing Memorization in RNNs
In the stream they seem to suggest that it’s “private” in the sense of

1. Apple doesn’t get any information (it’s all done on-device)
2. The data GS gets (and probably needs to keep, for auditing/paper trail) they “will never sell.” This probably means they have some kind of special agreement?

Not sure what MasterCard would get though.
~~But not online. Online is ApplePay only.~~

Edit: Apparently not.
I don't think that's relevant at all... my comment wasn't about the relative merits of doing or not doing something good for workers with a disability. My point was that, in their monthly/quarterly PR pitch meeting, somebody on their comms team pitched 'let's make a big deal about how we're helping disabled people' and that nobody else in that meeting said "oh, maybe let's not use the fact that we hire disabled people to advance our PR goals."
Perhaps if you don't mind fuzzy hand-wavy claims that are as likely to mislead as inform, they could say "our project's source code includes no 'web-tech'.

But that's not the headline. The headline was instead that it's a service "without a website". But there is absolutely, positively, no-nitpicking-involved an HTTPS-accessible website for the service, set up by the service's own creators.
I think the argument is something like: It is not profitable to provide the current level of service to rural areas. Because of the high productivity of urban areas, we can redistribute resources and improve rural public infrastructure.
> Were films a lot more divisive before 2010?

Honestly? Yeah, I think so. I'm not saying RT's rankings necessarily reflects this, but I think modern movies in general are a lot less daring than what hollywood used to produce. Probably after 2008 or so, but near enough to 2010, it seems they stopped taking risks on movies and really started to search out the lowest common denominator to have the greatest shot at mass market appeal, even when that meant gutting the plot, degrading the sophistication of dialogue. SFX budgets have gone through the roof, movies are filled with explosions and vivid colors, but little that stimulates the mind. Even the exceptions that most would hold up as poignant movies are generally quite mundane, almost always appealing to the most popular public sentiments.

Consider Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) at number 7 on that list, and Mad Max (1979). 2015 has no shortage of explosions and vivid colors to keep anybody glued to their seat and eating popcorn; the movie watcher doesn't have to put forth any amount of effort to enjoy it, they could walk in half way through the movie, look at their smartphone 90% of the movie, and still enjoy the small slivers of the movie they did see because the movie was made to be as widely accessible as possible, even to philistines who don't pay attention to movies they pay to watch.

Mad Max (1979) on the other hand doesn't make it onto this Top 100 list. RT gives it 90% from critics and 70% from audiences, which hints at why. 1979 is not as easy for the casual modern tech-induced attention deficit disorder afflicted movie consumer to enjoy. It's very far from non-stop action; it asks the viewer to pay attention even when things aren't exploding on screen. It's excellent, but the industry won't make another Mad Max like that again in the foreseeable future. They don't take risks like that anymore; not when littering the movie with 500% more explosions is so cheap and is so effective at shoring up the profit potential of a movie.

No true. You can use your standard card numbers online without Apple Pay. You get the numbers from within the wallet app.
I'm not going to get an Apple credit card heh. But where did you see this info? They said the number & ccv would be available via the apple wallet app for use online (although you only get 1% back).
If you’re not selling a thing, and your artistic/creative work is mostly as a hobby, I don’t see the problem with being self indulgent.

People might not care, but so what? It’s more compelling long-term to work on something you truly love than trying to figure out what people may like. It feels even better when someone ultimately ends up liking your uncompromised personal vision anyway.
There’s an actual card number and CVV code associated with the card.

They're about the same size: the UK map blocks are 1 km x 1 km

US: "the United States consists of 11,078,300 Census Blocks." The USA area is 9.834 million km², according to a well-known search engine.

So about .9 km² in average, roughly in line with "Of them, 4,871,270 blocks totaling 4.61 million square kilometers were reported to have no population living inside them".
Apple debuts Apple Card to transform the credit card experience
With the rise of smartphone payments like Samsung Pay, Android Pay and Apple Pay , is there even a need for credit cards?

How long until these companies start skipping payment processors like Visa and Mastercard and take the whole pie?

From a business perspective equity is just debt with less defined terms. That gives the business more flexibility and might allow it to pivot, but the obligation to pay back funds in some way is the same.
https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2019/03/apple-launches-apple-...
The people who are given incentives are very poor and uninformed about the ways of politics. Ideally, they can either refuse the incentives or just get it and vote the way they want.

By human nature, they get a sense of obligation when they receive the incentives. They feel committed to vote for the party that provided the incentive. Even trying to convince them they don't have to, does not work. They feel the onus is on them to complete the "transaction" by casting the vote.

That said, this is more of issue in by-elections, where there is only one or a handful of constituencies and the politicians can focus on them.

When the election is state-wide or nation-wide, the major determining factor is still the popular sentiment towards the political parties in question (based on their track record in power, which of course is skewed by media).
You shouldn't. But as a disabled person myself, I have strong opinions on this topic. I'm not a quadriplegic but I've experienced significant discrimination in hiring due to my conditions, despite being extremely productive - on both an absolute and relative basis.

That's tautological. You can't make a counter-argument to a non-argument.

It should work anywhere that touchless mastercard is accepted, though I do think that vendors can turn off apple pay specifically to avoid the fee.

Apple Announces 'Apple Card' Credit Card with Daily Rewards

There was a big emphasis on privacy. Apple does all the categorization and geolocation on device. There was a slide dedicated to the point that Goldman Sachs will never share the data with advertisers.

But no word on MasterCard. Will they share the data, is that their business?
Casio Pro Trek WSD-F20 vs. WSD-F30 Compared
The only reason they can do it is because they can display all that information on Apple devices in a presumably secure enough way, which other companies obviously can't.
Probably not. This is exactly how Apple Pay works - every physical card you add to apple pay is added to your phone/watch/laptop with a different number. If you delete card from your phone and add it again, its has yet another number.

All those unique numbers are handled by your bank and linked to single card account.
> Fascism comes from the Italian (and Latin) word fascism.

No, it comes from the Italian “fascismo” which ultimately derives from the Latin “fasces" for a particular symbol of the authority of Roman Republican and Imperial magistrates.

> Mussolini talked little about an ethnic monoculture - in fact there were even some prominent Jewish fascists before German influence over Italy began to increase.

Mussolini was talking about Fascism being about the needs of the “Aryan and Mediterranean race” in 1921, before the Nazis had power in Germany much less influence on he Italian fascists (the influence ran more the other way that early on.)
I use Apple pay wherever possible. It is far quicker and more convenient than either cash, chip card or swipe in that order.

Besides convenience, security and privacy are the backstop for my usage. I just trust Apple more to not be sleezy with my transaction history.

"yet you state it as a fact and that we should trust mainstream news."

This is the opposite of what I said, I said we should trust the process Mueller used to reach his conclusions, NOT the media, who got a lot wrong.

Please refute the indictments Mueller issued for Russian nationals working to influence the outcome of the election, to back your claim Russia did not make an effort to influence the election.

Unless you are hung up on how massive counts as "massive", which is a pointless and stupid debate.

The media clearly got a lot wrong, but rejecting the Mueller report's conclusions is a much higher bar, and I will want to know how you have more information about the topic or more credibility than Mueller and his team and specifics about which parts of the indictments were incorrect.
I am impressed, however this any some of the other products announced are just a pinata for anti trust advocates.

however this product to me is the premier product of the event. finally someone is taking credit card use to the next level in both usability, features, and security. Most important is the level of privacy they are offering.

Now if the three percent discount holds true it will be the defacto means of purchasing from apple.com, similar to how for prime users you pretty much have to use the amazon/chase card for five percent on all purchases.

Maybe this project will help the general public start reading reality based media.

But we do have this already. Done by experts. It's called the Pulitzer.

The people in a democracy must have access to information. Once a public is persuaded to reject reality based media, democracy becomes irrelevant. Thus the campaign to denigrate it in the dozen nascent autocracies. Again, I hope this project helps reverse that.
Not just touchless, since there’s a physical card as well.
Surprisingly the service is widely avaialible in my country (Brazil). Almost every credit card reader down here has NFC

I think of it more in terms of deliberately addictive behavior. HN is fun, but it doesn't have basic functions like infinite scrolling. The closest it has to addictive social media behavior is the upvote/downvote buttons. (See Cal Newport's Digital Minimalism for discussion about that problem.)
That the US provided some weapons to people fighting a war, does not making them responsible for it.

Consider amending your sentence to state: "Saddam Hussein was responsible for the death of 100's of thousands of Iranians and Iraqis".

Of course, the US was not fuelling both sides of the war with weapons as your comment implies, US equipment in Iran was there long before the Islamic revolution, after which, and ever since, Iran has declared that they want to destroy the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia. If they want to take that posture against powerful nations, and at the same time get pretty close to building nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles to mount them - well - then they're picking a fight with entities much more powerful than them, which is why the sanctions were put in place to begin with.

Nobody wants to fight Iran, nobody wants sanctions. Really, everyone wants to make money if anything. The ball is effectively in their court.

I think Go and Swift are natural languages to compare Rust to in this respect. Both of them seem to be doing a much better job of reference-level documentation.

In other circumstances the Rust people generally aim for higher standards than "no worse than C or C++", let alone "no worse than C or C++ in the 1980s".

(I mean, you don't see Rust people saying "It took 30 years for C++ to get any form of type inference, so as long as we have something by 2040 we'll be on track.)
I am still in transition to be honest, I have finally got to the point that I am living full time on the farm now but have not managed to make a profit yet.

How does something like this work in Europe with no signature on the card? When I tried to use a US card without a PIN that I hadn't yet signed, a German checker made a fuss about the missing signature. This isn't a problem in the US where no one bothers checking the signature.

What about a brewery I went to this weekend where neither swipe or chip was available for their POS and the card number was manually entered?

This service seems uninteresting to ME for two reasons.

Firstly, although I do own an iPhone, I use Windows on my other devices, including my Surface Book, where I'm more likely to do long form reading. So the lack of either a Windows or web app makes it DoA for me.

The second issue is that, unfortunately for publishers, it's not obvious to me that this is a better value than content that's already freely available on the web. If more of the content I'm interested in were to disappear behind a paywall, then perhaps it would be a better value. I could see how this model is healthier for the industry as a whole, but, selfishly, as a consumer I don't see much value prop.
Yes, and 3% for purchases from Apple, 1% for purchases using the physical card.

Calling a slight BS:

Tokyo was and other cities were firebombed to HELL in 1945. And ~~MILLIONS~~ (war-winners-numbers state 330,000 - but I suspect that number is not accurate, see: MacNamera's comments) were killed in the razing of tokyo and other japanese cities during WWII and not a single frame in that video shows a drop-back in population during WWII years.

The advise Dave Ramsey and Mr. Money Mustache give are really only applicable once you already did the hard part and built a steady career. Their advice isn't going to help someone who works at McDonalds with several kids with several deadbeat baby daddies and no family support get out of poverty, nevermind build wealth. The fact that most of Mr. Money Mustache's readers (who answer surveys) are engineers really reinforces that.

I'm not trying to pick on anyone here, I'm actually describing a good friend of mine.

That being said, I don't know what will, so I don't have any suggestions.
There aren't any unbiased websites, with a possible exception for the purely algorithmic. It's like a fish accusing another fish of being more wet. "Unbiased" generally means "having less clearly defined bias".

I remember reading an article a few years ago that said Apple has so much money overseas, the most logical thing they can do is to start a bank. Can't find it atm (I'm on mobile). But maybe that has changed after the GOP's tax law changes.
I like the idea too. But a bank card that doesn't work unless you own a device that runs IOS is a non-starter.
YMMV but I absolutely will not bite on non-creditcard-facilitated payments until/unless the same or better consumer protections are in place.

Yes, and 1% isn’t the best rate available, but you could always fall back to another rewards card instead of using the physical card.

There used to be a lot fewer luxury goods and they were a lot more expensive because most came from "exotic" far away places (and many were valued solely because of it). Camel's hair, especially, likely wasn't an automated textile like cotton and it's a rather expensive material to begin with (a good shawl would likely run into four figures even now).

$1,000 is roughly two to five years average income (depending on the state) in 1880 so if the average family income right now is ~50k and a family of professionals makes 250k, it's not that far fetched. Especially when you consider that church was the important social outing for a majority of the population.
The problem with that kind of solution is that a lot of stuff stops working. For example, a static site generator can still support stuff like search functionality by generating the required files, but a wordpress plugin is going to be unaware that a static site is being generated.

It's just the trend I've observed that companies want to lend people money even though they are not banks or creditcard companies because it's the easiest why to make money without adding value.

So what I'm saying is that it's not a good sign that Apple is trying to become a bank instead of making decent hardware/software.
