I think that at this point FB has proven that people will be nasty regardless of how not-anonymous they are.

As such I'm doubtful this will change anything about peoples behavior.

It's also quite scary how nonchalant many people here are arguing for this to stop "propaganda" which these days seems to be as easily defined as "Anything that doesn't conform with a Western/US-centric narrative".

Because I have yet to see one of these "propaganda ban waves" be reasoned with anything but "Russia/Iranian/Chinese propaganda" like that's the only kind of "propaganda" that exists [0].

As such I consider these "propaganda bans" just another exercise in propaganda [1].

OP here. Big O is indeed "worst case scenario" always, the size of the data set doesn't matter. An O(n) operation doesn't care if the data is sorted - even if it's the first item as you suggest. When you discuss Big O it's always worst case.
We see stuff in all directions because the stuff extends much further than what we can observe. There may well be a 'middle' of the universe but there's no way to tell how close we are to it (or if it even exists at all.)

It really sucks that some copies of the book are defective. I didn't expect that from Cambridge University Press. Email me at wstein@gmail.com and I can put you in touch with my editor, who should send you a free copy, and I can also give you a PDF.
Oh, I know about that, and it fails.

For example, literally the first thing in the list you link:

"Yeah, at the moment you can land on asteroids."

That's a "promise" apparently not kept.

So is this:

"Maybe you take out a space station, or a fleet, or you know, something like that..."

I'm not going to list everything here, but everything everyone complains about is what they were shown, what they hyped themselves, and general game development that will get changed.

I never found anyone that could point to these explicit promises. There was lots of discussion about things they'd like to add, or just talking about game development in general, but I don't remember them saying "At launch, you will get X feature" and then at launch, not having that.

Edit: You edited your comment after I replied. It was originally just a link with no commentary.

> There are others like this, it was just the first result on Google.

You would do well to not just assume it's 100% accurate.

> I think comments like yours really just short-change Hello Games for the sheer amount of progress they've made and the difficulty of the challenge they faced in doing something as hard as winning back the gaming community.

First, I'm not saying that they game was perfect. Only that the issue was the hype built up by the community and the inference of "promises" where there were none. The game needed work, and they did a great job in improving it.

Secondly, the gaming community is fickle and uncaring. They love things they claim to hate, and hate things they claim to love. Sure, Hello Games has done a lot, and they get a lot of credit for this especially in the face of the death threats from that gaming community. Sorry, but the gaming community does not have my sympathy.
Why not tax people directly per meter of sidewalk they walk on? Why not tax them for each call they make to 911, or charge them each time they walk into a public park?

Because certain things are considered to be public goods, to greater or lesser extent, and therefore to follow the principle behind progressive taxation: that people aren't taxed by how much they use them, but that the rich pay far more in absolute terms than the poor.

The subway is the primary means of transportation that makes so much of the rest of the city possible, that it's certainly a public good to some extent. But it's also still so expensive to run, and people with cars have their own separate costs on top of it, that people don't generally feel it's fair for it to be 100% subsidized either.

I don't know about the United States as I've not been, but in every other country I've gotten a SIM it's been a matter of picking it up and the store and handing over money, same as if you're buying, say, deodrant. You can top up money anonymously too by buying prepaid vouchers.

I've certainly never had to hand over stuff like social security number (wtf?), but perhaps laws and/or telcos are different in U.S.

> The DMCA outsourced due process for copyright infringement.

No, it didn't. What it did was protect online service providers from liability for either hosting or removing allegedly infringing content if they took certain action when notified of potential problems from either side (to the extent the results seem asymmetrical, it's because the pre-existing legal risk was asymmetrical.)

> SOSTA did it for illegal advertising

SESTA/FOSTA was kind of the opposite of DMCA; instead of creating a safe harbor that protected firms from existential risks that were starting to drive them out of hosting user content, it creates new holes on an existing safe harbor and drove providers out of carrying broad categories of user content around the area legally targetted.

OP here - Big O notation is simply shorthand math. When you're discussing things in this way, time complexity and performance are the same thing. When you care about resource usage (memory etc) that's space complexity, which is different. Either way, they're good things to understand.

>So no I don't think you should use an O(log n) operation in place of an O(n) operation just because of Big O, what matters is which one is faster.

Mathematically the log n is always faster :). Realistically... well that would be a tough one to prove, even with caching, but I say go for it.
It used to happen for me on Telegram (I think it's been fixed within the last year though), and recently a startup (Mealplan) blocked it because it's a "voip" number. I even tried emailing and explaining, but they just said they don't support it.
It was a huge financial success even if it was a failure at launch. Instead of running away, they stuck around and fixed their mistakes. It just shows that money does fix everything as Mark Cuban says.

> huge pain

The current system is a huge pain too...

I have 700+ accounts recorded in my password manager. Organizing, managing, occasionally changing passwords on important ones, etc. etc. takes a non-trivial amount of time and dedication!

And it's way way harder for many people who never got a system down, something I'm reminded of every time I visit my grandparents.. :-) Their main email account used to be an old ISP one that they'd payed for for years, and for whatever reason (I couldn't figure out why) it stopped working with some sites. Without that email account they lost access to a bank account, several credit card accounts, and some other stuff, and I ended up walking them through setting up a gmail account and calling in to change the email associated with all those accounts. Well, I used their landline phone to help set up the gmail account, and this year they moved, no longer have that phone number, and lost access to that account. I tried to help recover it, but wasn't successful. Guess what... they had to repeat the process for the bank and all those credit cards.
Microkernels are often used in high-security/high-criticality use cases because the kernel's facilities are very limited and the surface area is very small (thus easier to reason about and assure). Most complex functionality is performed in isolated processes/tasks with known IPC boundaries (i.e. a random thing can't clobber or inspect the memory of everything else).

We build on top of seL4 for these reasons (among others).
Well those are banks right? You're not changing banks, just getting a credit card.

> Halfway between the first and second midterm, participants were asked, ‘‘Do you think your procrastinating affected how well you did on this exam?” on a three-point scale, where 0 = not at all and 3 = definitely. Interestingly, although procrastination is a self-regulatory failure and thus, by definition, is a transgression against the self, 14 participants did not believe this to be so, answering ‘‘not at all” on this item. Consequently, we eliminated these participants leaving a final sample of 119 participants (70 female, 49 male) whose age ranged from 17 to 56 years (M = 20.50, SD = 5.17).

How is this elimination justified? This seems entirely unsound.
That seems like it'd be even less efficient. A "swarm" like that would be inherently reliant on maintaining orbits around the target star. In order to capture even a significant fraction of a star's energy you'll need a lot of stations orbiting that star, and they'll need to overlap (i.e shadow out stations further behind them / get shadowed out by stations further in front of them).

Even if a civilization's capable of building that many stations to surround a star in a deliberate sort of Kessler syndrome, it ain't clear that a civilization would ever need to do so.
In my experience, meetings follow responsibility. Make somebody responsible for the thing that causes the meeting and you'll get mental and physical time back. Plus you'll give that individual a chance to truly own something end to end.

There are meetings and other tasks that managers must take care of. I like to make a list of those things with a brutally critical eye towards what I _must_ do and figure out how to delegate everything else. Oftentimes this doesn't save time in the short term (you have to teach and then follow up with your delegates), but it works quite well over time.

> Patreon has also banned various leftist sites for things like doxxing and posting instructions on how to commit terrorism, but that doesn't get as much attention for some reason.

For left leaning people it takes doxxing and instructions on how to commit acts of mass violence to get banned.

For the opposite ends of the political spectrum people have been banned for months-old videos - not even on a channel that the banned person runs - in which someone uses a swear word to tell the alt-right that they "are acting like n_____s" (which I interpreted as a deliberate word choice to emphasize irony that the alt-right is behaving how they often portray and see African Americans. Sargon's explanation is roughly similar). Meanwhile there are plenty of people who use the same slur regularly, some even in the usernames of their social media profiles. There is zero doubt in my mind that Patreon decided to ban Sargon on the basis of his political views first, then searched for something to justify the ban.

These are hardly the same situations.

Where did I say that it should become legally mandated that MasterCard associate with anybody? Not only do I not think capitalism does/should compel them to do that, I think that capitalism explicitly doesn't compel anybody to do anything.

What I'm asking is if we as a public really want our payment processors to be making these moral judgements? That doesn't mean I think they should be compelled to do anything, but I certainly think it's cause for concern, and call for an alternative that IS willing to behave as a neutral party. I don't want the noise of what is effectively a pipe to be making arbitrary political judgements when deciding what is allowed to pass through.

Now, publicly funded banks, that's a different question. I absolutely expect neutrality within what is legal from our government institutions.
As an Australian, I'd just like to say, before the expert Americans come here on their high horse and lecture us about freedom and bald eagles - different cultures value different things.

There's a difficult debate between "freedom to" and "freedom from", between private tyranny and state tyranny. Different countries will fall along different points along the spectrum. This is okay.
Agree with the sentiment but what better alternative do you propose to prevent abuse?
I keep getting SMS text messages from TikTok several times a week even though I have never used the service. They are in the format:

[#][TikTok] 1234 is your verification code
aBcDefGhij1

At first I assumed these were someone accidentally or deliberately giving TikTok my phone number when registering. But if they never got the code, How could they activate the account? So why would they (or others) keep using my number? I read online that it may be a confirmation needed to delete an account. But that implies that TikTok accepted my phone number without verification. And again, if the person didn't get the code, what good did using my phone number do them?

All very dubious.
> I work/consult for a seismic processing company. 130TB is a drop in the proverbial bucket. Our small shop has multiple petabytes of data in surveys/well bore logs.

The quality of the data is important. Potentially there is a lot of value here, especially for academia who might not have access to this kind of data. You may have multiple Petabytes, but how much of that are you giving away?

I would also argue that 130TB is on the edge of what you can feasibly transfer and store without requiring some kind of complex setup. When you get into Petabytes you're really having to design a unique system just to store and access this data.

Place some trust in your reports; they're going to be working with the candidates if they are hired, they might as well interview them, too. And they could probably use the practice.

In fact, the worst hires I've had to work with were hired by my manager without involving the team at all.
FWIW, I believe that the current state of the art for batch-size 1, fp32 inference for ResNet-50 on Intel CPUs is AWS's work in https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.02697. After the low-hanging fruit outside of model execution are picked, this kind of work is probably quite relevant.
OP here - O(N log N) is not O(n^2). If n is 1000 then log n is 10, which is 1000 * 10 which is 10,000. That's a bit less than 1000 * 1000.

NOTE: in the following when I talk about "digital cash" systems I am not talking about blockchains!

It might be possible to do something based on one of the centralized "digital cash" systems that cryptographers have developed. A typical system allows some central entity (e.g., a bank) to issue a "digital dollar".

The digital dollar can be transferred to a merchant in such a way that the merchant can turn it back in to the bank, and the bank (1) can recognize that it corresponds to one they issued, (2) can tell that it has not previously been turned in, and (3) gets no information whatsoever about who they originally issued it to.

So suppose some entity that people trusted revealing their identity to provided a service where you prove your identity to them, and they use a digital cash system to issue you a token. You can redeem that token at Twitter, which verifies it with the issuer, and if it is valid and not previously redeemed, lets you create an account with no further need for identification.

The token issuing entity does end up with a list of real identities of Twitter users, but has no way to match those to Twitter accounts. (Or rather, they have the identities of people who asked for Twitter account creation tokens...they have no way of knowing if a given person ever actually went ahead and created an account).

If your Twitter account gets banned and you want another one, you'll either have to try to go through the token issuer again, and they can see that a token was already issued using your real identity and refuse. You'll have to do something like get other people who don't have Twitter accounts to use their real identities to get tokens, and then give those to you.

That was just an off the cuff idea, to suggest some possibilities, and based on the capabilities of the earliest digital cash systems. I bet you could design a more sophisticated system where the token issuing entity works with multiple sites, and can't tell which site you are getting a token for, but can still limit you to one account per site.

Startup experience is probably about as valuable as a Master's. Which is to say, it varies a lot. Sometimes it might be less valuable than working for that period of time. Sometimes it makes you unique and stand out.

I wanted to go to a large company because it was the only route I hadn't taken by then (and my wife kept bugging me not to gamble with startups and give it a shot).

If you've done startups even fairly well, large corporations feel frustratingly slow and incompetent. I'm not sure if this is the case with FAANG, but Google and Facebook have hardly created anything new. For engineering roles, you'll also have to go through the coding gauntlet, spend months revising algorithms that you'll never use. This is not necessarily a bad thing if you have time and want to skill up.

Another option is investing in new startups. Depending how big a deal you got, you might be of angel level and have better than average odds. You could probably make good money as a full time investor on NASDAQ, or work with a VC.

One thing I did enjoy is teaching. It might not pay so well, but it's fun to impart your skill onto others. You sound like you're at the level where you can also give advice to established groups like 500 Startups, though not necessarily on a full time basis.

Also one of the best times I had was consulting for large corporations. You're at the stage where you're practically a superhero to some. It pays well, and you also get some of the perks and feel of big corp like work, like wearing a tie and nice food.
This card specifically I... uh wouldn't be too worried about. It's a generic 1% card with a couple of apple specific gimmicks. My citi doublecash is 2% on everything as long as I pay the bill off each month (which you should). Chase sapphire reserve is also a better card if you travel and are willing to pay a fee.

It does look sharp as hell though.
On the topic of that presentation, the start of the tv+ presentation was the most masturbatory nonsense I've ever had the displeasure of sitting through, and I made it through Drake's whole stumbling monologue when Apple Music was announced. Then once the self-congratulatory black and white movie concluded, we were treated to actors describing their films and series rather than simply being shown trailers.

It was tedious, disrespected mine and everybody else's time, and didn't know what it was: a sales pitch to a studio exec or an advertisement for customers. It turned out to be neither, and it was all the more excruciating for it.

And yet, I watched the whole thing.
