The rules still apply if both companies are foreign and the deal is happening overseas. The competition regulator in all the territories the companies operate need to give their approval. Take the Disney Fox deal as an example. The Brazilian regulator required that Disney divest it’s sports offerings in Brazil alone because otherwise the combined company would hold all the football rights.

If you’re wondering why the competition regulator in your country didn’t stop this particular deal there are a few possibilities.

1. They’re funded so poorly they don’t have the resources to investigate the impact.

2. They did investigate but Uber gave enforceable assurances that consumers wouldn’t be impacted.

3. Uber bribed the regulator. Not saying Uber engages in such behaviour on the reg, but it’s possible.

If I understand correctly, Chris McCord actually did something similar back in his Rails days (https://github.com/chrismccord/render_sync), but the issues he ran into actually led him to create both Phoenix and, eventually, LiveView.

I'm sure others are better at explaining the details, but from what I gather this approach is now more viable than it was in the past with other stacks because 1) Phoenix is really efficient and fast with rendering templates, 2) The Erlang/Elixir-specific channels/process approach makes it much easier to have tons of websocket connections open and maintaining state, and perhaps 3) javascript got a lot faster.

An ANN is just calculus with matrices that does not lend itself, by the mathematics alone, to any "neuronal" description which is ad-hoc and imposed from the outside. You can draw many computations in "neuronal" form, eg., a logistic regression. It's really just a way of diagramming math.

"Computer" is an observer-relative term. There is no physical property of a system which makes it a computer. A "digital computer" is just a tool made of silicon which we use to aid computation (a goal we have). There are many tools (from an abacus to a waterfall) that we can use to aid in computation.

"Computation" isn't anything other than a goal we have. To interpret the brain as engaged in it carries no information and says nothing explanatory. The sense in which a brain is a computer is the same sense in which everything is: a physical system whose state evolution can be used to aid in computation (but isnt: no one uses brains to compute).
Uber's network effect isn't localized at all.

Try getting someone to keep 27 different ride hailing apps on their phone, and convincing that person to maintain them all and remember which accounts correspond to which cities.

Uber only doesn't have a national network effect if you view people like software in appraising their potential behavior. Actual human behavior is thus: I have zero interest in maintaining many ride hailing accounts, I have zero interest in having numerous ride hailing apps on my phone, I want as few as reasonably necessary.

If you can get people to keep two or three ride hailing apps on their phone for one country, that's pushing the limits of consumer behavior. They do not want to bother. They also do not want to be negatively surprised by a new competing service, which limits their willingness to experiment when there are existing known solutions. They'll choose well-understood Uber at 75%-85% good enough rather than risk having a bad experience in regularly trying out a new upstart. Actual consumer behavior functions as an enormous competitive moat in fact.
Ask HN: Recommend a decent ARM Laptop to run Free/OpenBSD?

I'm lucky enough to have a low-vision person who works as a tester on my team, and does our accessibility testing. It's very impressive watching/listening to him use a screen reader - I was really amazed at how fast he has it set to read the screen.

He does suggest all the things you've mentioned above, and it's good advice.

However one thing he also says is: don't assume that low-vision is the only type of disability. You also need to build software for people who are: deaf, have slow motor skills (e.g. avoid putting strict time limits on user actions, or making things jump around on the screen too much while people are trying to hit a target), lack fine motor skills (e.g. don't make a target too small), etc.
It's good that you put the full conference list together with recommendations.

> Changing the media type of the HTML does require a bit more strict syntax, but it also is a cheap trick to ensure the HTML tags and structure are arranged in a valid way.
I haven’t watched it, but I have heard about it. In contrast to the simplicity of a programming language in the happy path, I’m talking more about simplicity in the case where things break. For example, Python doesn’t implement tail call optimization in part to eliminate stack trace collapses. On the other hand, many reasons my current tool stops working is due to the underlying configuration of the JVM. Configuration management is a leading problem in distributed systems, and a fairly significant one given how it took down both Google and Facebook in two days. Clojure is a lisp on the JVM; I doubt it matters how pretty you write your code if you don’t say allocate enough memory on the heap for the process, and if it implements tail call recursion when that happens you may get an incomplete stack trace.

This is more speculation, but I do hope it gives some insights into why you may choose one paradigm for a problem over another. Overall I’d say break your problem domain into subdomains and choose the best paradigm for each.

> the 6502 is a simple 16 bits processor

I don't think ability to address 64k means the CPU is 16 bit. The 6502 is a very 8 bit processor AFAIK. The main registers are 8 bit, most operations work on 8 bit registers.
As a gross approximation, the hormones and other chemicals might act like hyperparameters in the neural networks. Increase learning rates, adjust regularisation penalties, few-shot learning vs generalisation etc.
>One of the custom chip on the Amiga had hardware for teh track decoding.

sadly no, it was just deserializing head magnetic flux data (encoded as pulses) to raw bytestream, you still had to compute actual data out of it. Whats worse Commodore shipped same, outdated even in 1987, Double Density chip for the whole life of Amiga.
> Inequality is a product of market regulations, not automation.

Inequality arises naturally out of many different processes. You can think of the economy right now as being Pareto optimal or efficient; any reallocation of capital will necessarily make one person worse off than another. It is an example of the power law distribution.

> Put a 90% tax on income over $1M, make 20 hour work week / 12 weeks vacation the new standard, introduce a land value tax, make it impossible to hide wealth offshore, and find a good way to distribute all the extra revenue so that people don't starve but still have just enough incentive to work (in a world that needs much less work because of automation). That'll go a long way towards fixing excessive inequality in a heavily automated world. Half of this can be done to great positive effect even today.

That sounds to me like the way to hell paved with good intentions. If you increase the tax rate to 90% over $1M, those individuals will simply move their assets elsewhere. What's stopping them from investing in real estate in Japan (where you can still get good deals, because the dollar is still relatively strong, even though it soon won't be)? Wealth redistribution sounds nice in theory, where you can feel good about yourself because hey, you're saving the world right? Except you're making things worse. All those wealthy individuals you want to heavily tax will stop hiring here, and suddenly you have a population of very angry people that cannot work anymore. The illusion of a living wage is better than no wage at all.

The conclusion of the article, to me, is that the concept of a central bank and a State is obsolete. The future is rich city states with zero regulation, Pareto optimally efficient economies, surrounded by wastelands of those left behind. This is what the Singularity entails.

Let's not go too far. When we talk about the brain being a computer, we mean it in a sense in which some μC/μP and related paraphernalias forming a computer inside your phone, or any other electronical device - that is, a component which takes all or most of the inputs, drives the device, and which if you rip out, you're left with a useless and dead machine.

A rock and a waterfall perform computations in a theoretical sense if you look at them right, but there's also a different sense in which a bunch of op-amps in a circuit are a computer, a bunch of hydraulic logic gates are a computer, and a Raspberry Pi is a computer, but a rock isn't a computer. In that sense, human and animal brains are computers too.

(I'm before my morning coffee so I apologize for not being able to name "that sense" properly.)

"The problem is you can't really run an economic system where only a very few percent of people take all the gains, at least not one that is socially stable or resembles liberal free market capitalism of the past 100 years. "

I agree partly, you can run it but it has to be social. To put it very blunt and anti-social, the rich will have want to buy off being robbed by the poor, or build very high fences around their lives, in almost all aspects. In other words, if this continues: revolution and unpredictability.

I used to love (and still do, but we're growing apart) Ayn Rand but I think this is something she never predicted. Rational, smart people, willing to work but somehow ending up at the wrong side of the fence. The rich becoming the looters, disrespecting rights of the "poor".
The smaller bullet is the point. A 7.62mm bullet is overkill if you're aiming at a person less than half a kilometer away. The essence of the assault rifle concept is to throw away that excess individual bullet power in order to gain volume of fire.

The magazine size alone is not a good indicator of practical rate of fire; that has more to do with recoil, which the M16 reduces by using a smaller bullet.

For an understanding of the assault rifle concept, I recommend reading the history of the first assault rifle, the Sturmgewehr 44 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StG_44#History):

====================================================

In the late 19th century, small-arms cartridges had become able to fire accurately at long distances. Jacketed bullets propelled by smokeless powder were lethal out to 2,000 metres (2,200 yd). This was beyond the range a shooter could engage a target with open sights, as at that range a man-sized target would be completely blocked by the front sight blade. Only units of riflemen firing by volley could hit grouped targets at those ranges. That fighting style was taken over by the widespread introduction of machine guns, which made use of these powerful cartridges to suppress the enemy at long range. Rifles remained the primary infantry weapon, but in some forces were seen as a secondary or support weapon, backing up the machine guns.

This left a large gap in performance; the rifle was not effective at the ranges it could theoretically reach while being much larger and more powerful than needed for close combat.

<snip>

In the spring of 1918, Hauptmann (Captain) Piderit, part of the Gewehrprüfungskommission (Small Arms Proofing Committee) of the German General Staff in Berlin, submitted a paper arguing for the introduction of an intermediate round in the German Army with a suitable firearm. He pointed out that firefights rarely took place beyond 800 metres (870 yd), about half the 2 km (1.2 mi) sight line range of the 7.92×57mm round from a Mauser Gewehr 98 rifle or less for MG 08 machine gun. A smaller, shorter, and less powerful round would save materials, allow soldiers to carry more ammunition, and increase firepower. Less recoil would allow semi-automatic or even fully automatic select-fire rifles, although in his paper he called it a Maschinenpistole (submachine gun).
>>If we can get to the point where we have the technology to colonize Mars, which will hopefully happen this century, then I would imagine it probably won't be long after that until we manage to have permanent space habitats that harvest materials from asteroids.

We are already capable of that now. The issues are politics and economics and not science/engineering.

If I'm not wrong the USA spent like $1T on building a fighter plane, and something like double digits trillion dollars and ongoing on wars since the past 20 years alone.

You can mine asteroids for a part of that kind of budget already.

Going down gravity wells of planets makes no sense, space colonies are the way forward, and there is no shortage of resources in space for that.

This is a great example of how design by committee can ruin a great idea. Had they just used Stoner's original design, countless lives could have been saved. Instead committee after committee imposed their ideas, ideas influenced by various vile agendas. The banality of evil indeed. It also shows the stupidity of confusing belief with fact and what allowing that can lead to: "The Army’s official reasoning on the matter was that since it did not recognize the theory that ball powder was the cause of the problems, why should it care which powder Colt used?" Gee, where have I NOT heard this type of stupid argument recently? My belief is more important than fact. Of course, these high level generals could afford such stupidity. They weren't the ones in combat, being killed by the enemy for their stupidity. Good soldiers paid with their lives for such "theories." They should have put these high level theorists on the front lines. Death would have been more than deserved for their actions. The banality of evil indeed.
