Getting rid of that wire is proving super expensive.

A phone speaker and great earbuds, that cost $20, and that work well with every audio device I have (some from the 70's and 80's), are a no brainer value wise.

No charging. No pairing. No DRM. No losing just one. No, no, no :D

Audio just is not worth that level of complexity and hassle.

The government of New Zealand’s entire response to the shooting incident, as well as the public’s cheering for it, is the most disturbing Orwellian thing I’ve ever seen. The level of authoritarian curbing of freedoms that has seemingly happened overnight at the stroke of a pen should seriously concern anyone who values constitutionally limited government. I’m all for the debate, but as an American it’s unimaginable to see such reactionary, arbitrary, far sweeping action taken by a supposed free country with almost no discussion or legal process.

Here in Austin, Texas I encounter homeless people regularly and have become a bit numb to the stories after talking to people more and seeing their stories change.

I've bought food and even pumped gas into portable gas cans for people, refusing to give them any cash, only to see their story unravel when they realize they won't get money from me. The original story about needing gas to pick up their paycheck morphs into something else that requires money.

I had a man yell at me after I pumped gas for him because I didn't want to give him straight cash. And then seeing the same people whacked out on something or drinking beer a few days later trying to pitch you the same story.

The unfortunate thing is that those people do need help, usually mental health help but solving that problem will require more than people temporarily supporting their addiction.

After considering the correctness of it for a long time, just this week, I started outbound marketing to my 1st contacts on LI. 100 so far, 2,500 to go. I decided to use the LI system directly vs. harvesting emails. I am a strong supporter of LI and want to "keep it in the family".

I run a professional services firm in Shanghai offering English resume editing, LinkedIn Profile enhancements, interview coaching, and corporate workshops on similar.

So far the response has been pretty low. About 3% thanked me for bringing to light fundamental flaws in their profiles or missing best practices.

One problem for which there is no CSS solution yet is orphaned lines caused by floated images, when only the last line of a paragraph flows beneath the image. Particularly annoying with left-floated images in RTL text. I don't use floated images that often, but sometimes the design calls for it.
No they definitely don’t you can only get that through experience. But instead of learning one thing and thinking you’re the master of everything, in a fast moving CS curriculum you don’t have time to move further than advanced beginner and it will give you humility and wisdom to know what you don’t know

When (enough of) the people who benefit most from a system that's already biased in their favor unironically tell the folks on the far end of that benefit curve that they just need to work harder, they had the same opportunities as anyone else, it's their own fault, or whatever, I don't think it's terribly unreasonable for the people on the receiving end of that "wisdom" to develop a general sort of resentment for their "betters."

> I cannot understand this "solution" of turning to machine-verified proofs. Coq, Isabelle, etc. invariably contain bugs. Even if they didn't, you can still run into hardware bugs. Computers are not a source of perfect computation and software is certainly not a source of perfect logic.

The issue is not that computers are always perfect. The issue is that humans are far, far worse than computers at detecting errors in proofs. So-called proofs are later found to be wrong, even after lots of human peer review, and there are often doubts about published papers. If pure math is about proof (and it is), then checking proofs with only humans is unacceptable in the long term. Humans simply aren't good enough at it, and why should we make humans do a job (verifying proofs) when computers are obviously better at it?

In addition, there are many mechanisms for countering computer errors that make their likelihood essentially zero. Hardware bugs happen, but executing software on multiple different computers using diverse CPUs basically makes that disappear.

Software can have errors, but there are ways to counter that too. The Metamath community verifies set.mm (its main database at http://us.metamath.org/mpeuni/mmset.html ) by running running 4 different verifiers that were implemented by four different developers in 4 different programming languages (C, Rust, Python, and Java). There are at least 13 different Metamath verifiers, so a few more could be added if desired. The underlying Metamath language is extremely simple, too, so a verifier can be written in only a few hundred lines of code (reducing the risk of error in any one of the verifiers). There's evidence that N-version programming doesn't reduce errors as quickly as if errors were independent (see Knight and Leveson's paper), but even so, it's still quite difficult to slip by that many independent verifiers. In the long term, proof verifiers can be proven correct. It's hard to prove large programs correct, but you only need to verify the verifier; there are already examples such as ivy for prover9.

I can imagine that computers might someday be better at creating proofs. But that isn't necessary for computers to be useful. The main issue today is that proofs are typically not computer-verified, and computers can do that today. Many tools have managed to do well on Freek's "Formalizing 100 Theorems" challenge list at http://www.cs.ru.nl/%7Efreek/100/ - and for the most part that is without a lot of investment.

It's not easy to use existing tools, that's definitely true. But a big part of the problem is that there hasn't been a lot of work to use or grow them. If more work and money was invested in improving the systems for verifying proofs, and it was held in higher regard, a lot more would happen.

I believe future mathematicians will view proofs unchecked by computers the same way we view alchemy today. I suspect they'll say something like, "once in a while those alchemists and pre-mathematicians happened to be correct, but of course we don't accept their work without computer verification today." I think we should be working to make that future happen sooner.

I think you've missed my point. I'm not saying that Shii was a wizard, oracle or prophet, and we should find the next one to predict the future for us. When looking back, things are often pretty straightforward and clear, hindsight is always 20/20.

Instead, what I'm saying is that, he preserved an important segment of the history for us by creating his personal knowledge base, especially that, it was written by someone who was an Internet-native, worked extensively on Wikipedia at its early time, and credited as one influential figure who shaped early 4chan. So we can use the material from his knowledge base to gain some insights about some parts of the undocumented history.

And I think it's another advantage of an knowledge base - it can provide a good record of history from a personal perspective, more comprehensive than a blog or diary.

Not everyone holds the same absolute views on freedom of speech as those drawn up in the American constitution. There is also plenty of opposing views of a "constitutionally limited government" that seems to be at the heart of American culture.

Frankly, it's pretty disturbing how many Americans are unable to comprehend that their way isn't the "only way" that can be valid.

The New Zealand Bill of Rights provides freedom of expression, but it's also limited by the human rights act. Racial disharmony is illegal. Even if the shooter didn't follow through with the shootings, he could have been punished for simply publishing that manifesto of his.
Reapply thermal paste.

The heat problem is a major issue across the laptop industry (and all in one desktops with a small tightly-packed case and a PSU inside the case -- Mac mini is another big offender). You aren't getting the CPU/GPU performance you paid for because the laptop traps heat and the CPU throttles itself.

IMO this is ripe for class action lawsuits.

Generally, buying a high performance portable computer is a bad idea, because of thermals.

> Apple Music, Apple News Magazine, Apple TV and Apple Game

This is where I get slightly lost with this strategy. There doesn't seem to be a discernable advantage to me as a consumer bundling all of these together versus the amount of lock in.

Something like iMessage is unique to iOS and a big benefit - music, news, TV I can get at least as good elsewhere often for less.
Having moved on from biblical interpretations, sexual preferences are usually considered absolutely forbidden if participants can't give informed adult consent. So - voyeurism, anything involving children and animals, and so on.

There doesn't seem to be much evidence that sexuality can be changed by conscious choice. So if your sexuality runs along those lines you're going to have a bad time, because you'll either have to repress your urges, or risk actions that damage others, possibly with criminal consequences.

The edge cases of this can become ridiculous - but still tragic. E.g. there are people who are primarily turned on by paving stones and/or drain covers.

It's not really obvious what "natural" means in this context. Is this imprinting? Genetics? Something else? There aren't any good answers. Criminal law does the best it can with them, but it's not clear that choice really applies, and criminal punishment is pointless and ineffective anyway - either as a deterrent or as rehabilitation.

The bigger moral question is maybe why some social groups seem obsessed with what they consider sexual deviance - including their beliefs about homosexuality - while apparently ignoring other moral and social questions.

What is the psychological process that turns homosexuality into a uniquely disturbing moral problem for them, while other hot-button issues - poverty, diet, government and corporate corruption, take your pick from a long list - are relatively uninteresting for them?

As someone suggested, the Smithsonian or the Library of Congress can accept a donation for a tax deduction, so a person of wealth can buy it from her for $$ she can live on and they get the 40% or so deduction on the donation.

As a general rule, anything javascript does should be seen as the way 'not to do things', not as something to jump on the bandwagon with. I have never dealt with a more frustrating language, ecosystem, package manager, toolset and so on. When I used ClojureScript for a previous project I found it a breathe of fresh air in comparison. Thesedays I use Elm. It's great to leave the world of webpack bugs behind, or installing alternate package managers using other package managers. I fully recommend trying it sometime.

ShapeShift and CipherBlade: money laundering accusations, shells within shells
>we should, by default, let consenting adults do what they want together

When does "by default" become "actually, no, that's bad and even consenting adults shouldn't do that"? If you want to take a strong position that there should be no such thing as a victimless crime, then that's coherent and valid - but if you want to hedge with "by default", I think you have to provide a stronger framework why this thing is okay and that thing isn't. You still have to say something pragmatic like "homosexuality has no documented negative social effects".

(Although personally, I do think that the very idea of a victimless crime is suspect - while some behaviors between consenting adults do have unambiguously negative consequences, criminalizing actions for their invisible second-order effects seems to often cause other, nastier second-order effects. But it's certainly up for debate - applying this rigorously would mean e.g. legalizing all drugs, which is a difficult sell.)
I'm not saying that just throwing a person into jail will help. But a jail with a working treatment program could.* Maybe everyone in the video they talked to in the CT treatment program was being disingenious or dishonest, but it sounded like it was effective.

> Cohen et. al. wanted to simply make it clear that the 'end of Russia discussions' was well before the nomination, and not near to it, purely for optics.

"Purely for optics."

Why would the optics look bad?

Because what they did was a way in which corruption often happens, eg a foreign government rewarding someone for losing an election but causing a political disturbance, and they lied about it because they knew it would look bad during an investigation. We can see the Chinese rewarding the Trumps with various favors, eg trademarks, for an example of how this kind of corruption actually happens, and why people would have been suspicious of the Trump dealings.

You're correct: each misdeed of the Trump organization could be explained by bumbling -- a coin-flip between incompetence and malice.

Unfortunately, there's a large number of such questionable practices, and the intersection of a high number of overlapping events is actually a large degree of certainty.

The simplest explanation is the preferred:

Trump is a career criminal, who committed multiple kinds of crimes during the presidential election, ranging from campaign finance violations to colluding with Russian intelligence operatives. He did this not because he's some kind of deep-sleeper agent from Russia, or whatever media narrative has formed, but rather because he's an out-of-touch sociopath who has been sheltered by wealth and legitimately doesn't understand why breaking national security law to enrich himself is wrong. But he did it, along with the other crimes, and knowingly orchestrated the whole series of crimes. As he's been doing for years, through the Trump Foundation, Trump University, his frequent defrauding of contractors, etc.

So yes, he "colluded", but out of stupidity and incompetence, not thoughtful malice.
