when I walk by the Apple Store in the same location, there's easily 20x (often more) the number of customers roaming around.

The only time I've ever seen a reasonable number of people in a Microsoft Store, it was the one in Bellevue, Washington — the city next to Redmond, for those of you not familiar with that city.

Most of the time when I see Microsoft Stores, they're empty except for two or three husbands killing time playing games while their spouses shop.
I listened to Jordan Peterson and what he was talking about was not particularly radical - instead of a modern, rational, scientific, agnostic view of the world he had more pre-Enlightenment Dark Ages notions about the Bible, the supernatural and such. As premier learning institutions aim to be devoted to rationality, the scientific method etc., it's not a conspiracy keeping him away, he's just preaching things they are not about. I'm sure he could go to some backwoods corner of Arkansas or Kentucky or something where people would be more receptive to these ideas about the supernatural.

It's also putting a number of people into the same boat. People may agree or disagree with Steven Pinker about various topics, but at least he makes rational arguments. Search the New York Times and he is treated as an intellectual worthy of respect, although points may be right or wrong. I don't see him being excluded from anything. If anything, the nurture over nature argument is what is blocked from the establishment discourse.
Based on the names that you supplied, I'm guessing that you assume that MMT is a left-wing idea. I think the bigger reason to pay attention to it is because it has support on both sides of the American political spectrum. Read The Macro Tourist's post [1] for a pragmatic trader's take on the matter. He also suggests that Trump is already an implicit proponent of MMT, what with his increased spending and decreased tax revenue.

More than 2 end points would be a bridge too far for this simple script.

With regards to fswatch, from what I gather, it blocks a iotcl call on all the files in your watched folder. This script fires rsync (always from the local end to prevent confusion) as soon as a change is detected on either end, starting with the end where the change has been detected. Pretty simple. I guess if you change files and delete files at the same time on both ends, some deleted files might get recreated. At this point this is the worse I can see, but I could be very wrong... :-)
Yep, agree. Thanks for the clarification.
I don't think anyone would get in trouble for job titles like "computer doctor" or "network protocol lawyer". Practicing medicine or practicing law (or in some cases, practicing as an engineer) without the required qualifications, regardless of job title ... different story.
The history of this makes me think of Gall's Law [1] which was on HN just the other day. It will be truly awesome when we do get all of these features you originally wanted into a standard, stable, usable Julia debugger—and I have no doubt that we will eventually :D

Um, no. I say this as a holder of season tickets to the opera and as a trained operatic tenor myself. Many, many pop singers are incredibly good and far outstrip the skills of most barroom singers I have experienced.

For write-intensive time series, or highly distributed, or graph databases you might consider other options.

This reminds me of an interesting and related story (that I'll post from a throwaway).

I'm an American who moved to Japan many years ago. When I was dating here, a girl made her intentions extremely obvious so I took her back to my place after a night out. Soon after we starting having sex, she said, "No no!" so I stopped an apologized. Then she initiated again, but before long, "No no!" So I stopped and apologized again, very confused.

After two or three times, I realized what was happening. If you've ever watched Japanese porn, you're probably familiar with it, and that's likely where she learned it too. Or maybe she got the habit from guys that were into the rape myth.

After I realized what she was doing I told her clearly, "Look, I'm not into that at all and it's actually a complete turn off. If you don't like this, we can stop and I'm totally fine with you staying the night and I'll sleep over here. But if you do want to do this, don't say no again." She understood and we continued a good relationship after that without anymore "play no"s.
I find it odd to state that ASC's lidars work, and just cost too much until there is sufficient volume, but then turn around and say that the pulsed lidar groups with working products (that work better than flash lidar, in fact) are too expensive. Presumably the same applies to them. ASC's focal plane arrays may be ICs that scale well, but they still need lasers, electronics, housings, lenses, and more. Just like everyone else.

It also seems odd to state that Lumotive isn't novel. The fact that people have made SLM based phased array beam steering is hardly germane to the Lumotive being able to put together a robust, wide aperture, high speed, high resolution beam steering technology, let alone a complete lidar. There is simply a lot more to getting this stuff to work than just reading some paper from 2004 about SLM based steering in the lab.

Also, no lidar OEMs have a "buy" button. You're suggesting that this is because it's all a scam? I think it's because they don't need or want to sell to you. They are all out making partnerships with large vendors. I'll grant that some companies do appear to have vaporware products (most famously Quanergy's solid state product), but the reason there are many companies working at it is being there is a need and lots of commercial potential. The commercial potential in this case comes from the automotive industry, so there is basically zero incentive to sell at a consumer level. Not even velodyne, who definitely has real products, sells over the web. Even Ouster, who prides themselves at being the "available now" high performance lidar company, doesn't have a "buy" button. Perhaps if you email their sales guys and then send them $4k they will send you a unit, but it remains that the business model isn't sustained on individual sales.

Finally, the continental lidar you linked has pretty bad angular resolution (~1deg) and no stated range. The latter probably being because flash lidar is at a fundamental disadvantage to scanned lidar. Instead of all the photons going to one place, they go everywhere. This scales very badly with range, so they will be power (SNR) limited. The only way to overcome this would be to have correspondingly more sensitive detectors, which I do not believe is the case. Even if they gang together many small flash lidars that look at narrow FOVs, those lidars would probably have to be close to one pixel wide to compete on SNR while staying eye safe, in which case you end up losing the "scales on a chip" economics. This might be one reason why Ouster still spins a pixel wide array rather than strobing many.

It’s much easier to bring in illicit firearms across unmonitored state lines than national boundaries.

You haven't heard the tales of Minnesota bootleggers and mobsters. (Directly relevant to Canada.) National borders don't mean that much to criminals. This includes illegal firearms trafficking.

Horrifying.

My family has direct experience with Leftists who take away individual rights for the sake of the group. My mother and oldest uncle had to be smuggled for hours in a pitch black compartment of a freighter to escape. That's horrifying. War is horrifying, because that's what came soon after.

It's orders of magnitude more likely you'll die in a car crash than die from an active shooter scenario.

So taking away everyone’s right to feel safe and secure? Wonderful. And to be alive.

Sorry, but none of that makes sense. Many of the states with the most lax gun laws have the lowest levels of violence.

The reality is you don’t need guns. I don’t need guns.

I dialed 911 once. It malfunctioned. I called from a neighbor's. I wound up with a bloody face and stitches. The police in their SUV drove past my house to the wrong address, driving right past me waving my arms with blood streaming down my face. This was in addition to their arriving way too late. "When seconds count, the police are only minutes away."

One of my housemates had a direct experience with preventing a mugging, because the potential assailant figured out he had a weapon.

"Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million, in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008."

Sounds like that trade off is just better.

Restricting the guns won't take the means to kill away from determined nutjobs and criminals. However, every day it's in action, it will take away the means for tens of thousands of innocent law abiding citizens to protect themselves, while creating the precedent of the government stomping on their property and 2nd amendment rights.

Sorry, but your "logic" sounds like something ignorant kids would write.

Yes because the government would want Facebook to store user passwords. But only some of them, specifically facebook lite users, you know, the users that can't even afford a modern phone and reasonable internet. And they would want to use the passwords directly, instead of having some other backdoor for getting data from these accounts, so that way the users they spy on can see that they're being spied on because of the suspicious logins using their password. You've cracked the case =)

> There's no internet in China anyway

More than 40% of the world's e-commerce transactions currently take place in China. The United States’ share of the market is 24%, down from 35% in 2005.
> It's almost as if the article is equating less crime being prosecuted as less crime existing. There's a big issue with that.

No, the article is about how arrests of juveniles have vastly declined, but state and county officials haven't adjusted juvenile facility availability (e.g. shutting underused facilities down), resulting in some counties paying as much as $500K/yr per juvenile detained, up from less than $200K.

As someone who has also been robbed at gunpoint, I empathize a bit with your experience. But it is so tangential to the actual topic of the article -- you suffering from a violent crime has very little to do with whether California is overspending on unneeded juvenile detention infrastructure.

> It becomes a meaningless word if anyone can just call themselves one.

Only to the extent that all words are meaningless. However, we keep a reference known as a dictionary that helps maintain some consistency around meanings of words.

The Oxford Dictionary defines engineer as:

1. A person who designs, builds, or maintains engines, machines, or structures.

2. A person who controls an engine, especially on an aircraft or ship.

3. A skilful contriver or originator of something.

Is software an engine, machine, or structure? That is debatable, although I would suggest that it does meet the definition of machine. Under that suggestion, software engineer is a perfectly appropriate term. Designing, building, and maintaining is exactly what software engineers do.

If you disagree that software falls under the definition of engine, there is still that third definition. Is software created by a skilful contriver or originator of something? I think that is a definite yes.

> There has to be some standard, some governing body, some degree of rigour applied here.

Professional engineers are expected to display those things. That is unrelated to engineers. Different terms with different meanings. Software engineers may not be professional engineers, although they can be.
That's irrelevant with my comment, China does not have a real legal system, the CCP has full power. Whatever you are building will be blocked if moderately popular to let a local competitor take that space. All these certifications mentioned on this website have approximately the same value as the paper it's written on.

What I'm hearing is that, because they collected it and stored the passwords as part of their reckless attempt to log every action that every human makes online in order to manipulate them, its more excusable than if it was in a specific and protected user credential database?

If you want to debug Julia itself, you can use gdb/lldb on it. That plus using the `jl_` function to dump values gets you a pretty decent debugger if you're comfortable in gdb/lldb, but it's not an experience that most Julia users would be happy with and you cannot evaluate code in the current stack frame's context or set breakpoints with Julia expressions as conditions. Debugger.jl lets you do all of that.
You do need client support but these days that’s not uncommon: Android Pie, Chrome, Firefox, and curl all have built-in support and there are apps for iOS and Android, and once you’ve enabled it it will work almost everywhere. I believe most clients default to dual resolution so it won’t break if you’re on a network which interferes (e.g. a ton of Cisco captive portals used that address in error) unless you’ve enabled hard-fail mode.

I believe you're referring to dynamic range, that is, the ratio between the loudest possible sound and sound level which drowned out by hiss. My understanding was that the very best reel-to-reel studio decks are only capable of a dynamic range equivalent to roughly 14 bits in digital. Do you have any objective source backing up this better-than-CD-quality claim?

> Baltimore politics are an absolute disaster. I suppose this is quite possibly the case for every US city, I've never considered that before.

Baltimore is in a class with about half a dozen other US cities for being an exceptional disaster. The entire city should be federalized and cleaned up top to bottom.

Compare it to functional or semi-functional, prosperous cities like Seattle, San Diego, Austin, New York, Boston or even Boise Idaho.

Seattle had 19 murders in 2016. Baltimore had 318, or 51 per 100k (with a slightly smaller population than Seattle). That's almost a warzone. It compares to cartel ravaged countries in Latin America. There's no excuse for it and nobody will do anything about it. There's only one possible solution given the extreme incompetence: the federal authorities must step in, take over the city and stop the slaughter no matter the financial expense.
HIPAA/HITECH would not necessarily; the analysis would have to include compensating controls and who had access. The fact pattern in this Facebook case would probably not support a violation. Again: crappy stored passwords aren't PHI.

Related, any option to sync files that work from iOS/Android (excluding dropbox, just to make things hard)?
Wow, so this is fascinating. Some observations:

- Many of the frames look like someone just applied a "sharpen" filter -- there's (as expected) no real new information, it's just sharper... so it doesn't seem like a big deal, like I could do it in Photoshop trivially

- But then there are a few spots where new details are truly seamlessly added... the fireball in the spaceship explosion, and forehead wrinkles. Stunning, they're absolutely seamless and believable, with detail that is simply not there in the original... that's literally magic

- But at the same time, characters in the background that are slightly out-of-focus get oversharpened when they're supposed to be blurry, like it can't tell when moderate blurriness is due to resolution or focus

Overall, I'm pretty shocked that the effect is so seamless across frames -- I totally would have expected this to produce weird discontinuities in time, but I didn't see any at all. I mean, this actually seems like it's already production-ready to throw into TV's or VLC. Which is crazy.

I wonder how much of this is "general-purpose", or to what extent this works on this episode because it's trained on this episode? E.g. the neural network is learning from a close-up of the Ferengi face or spaceship, to apply specifically to a later smaller version. Or to what extent this will work well across TV shows, across actors, across genres, without prior training, or with sparse training?
I think the argument that MMT is non-normative with respect to inflation is simply false. I'm not an expert, but, like, I've read things other than this article, and in all of them (along with this article) MMT proponents are at pains to point out that "inflation doesn't matter" is a misconception.
