I took my dad on the Via Candian (1) from Toronto to Vancuver. We had an absolutely amazing exeperience. You see Canada in a very unique way, meet interesting people, and time does this interesting thing when you're on a train for 4 nights. Highly recommend it (If you get your own sleeper car!).

You're WAY too hung up on this "who decides?" question, ignoring the reality that either someone has to decide, or that no one should decide and society should simply not regulate speech in any way, ever.

Good luck with the latter if you ever have kids.

In theory you should be able to convert sheet music from a PDF to MIDI with something like this (I did a quick Google search)

Once you have a MIDI[1] file, you can do a lot of interesting things with your music, such as generating or modifying notes with random values for pitch, velocity etc.

I think an important difference is that in the new architecture, there's a separation between WASM and WASI.

That is, computation and I/O are treated separately. It's more like capability-based security. WASM modules have no capabilities except the ones explicitly injected when you instantiate it.

As far as I understand, the JVM wasn't as rigorous about this, although to be fair I don't know all the details.

So WASI could still have a lot of holes, but WASM would survive and be useful. And then maybe someone else could come around and do it in a different, better way. That hasn't happened with Java.
Solomon Hykes, co-founder of Docker, believes WASM+WASI could take the place of Docker.

>Microsoft is a relative underdog now (among the tech giants).

How do you define a Tech giant?

By Market cap they are #1. Here are top 5.

1. Microsoft $895B
2. Apple $888B
3. Amazon $867B
4. Google $816B
5. Facebook $473B

They have been in top 3 for last 30 years with a robust business model. They missed on Mobile and search but hey it would be hard for any tech company to top in each market.
Neither does Google.
Using the word "manipulate" might carry too heavy a negative connotation than you might be used to ascribing to rewards, but if you strip the connotations from the word, it's clear that rewards expressly manipulate others. "Do this and I'll give you that" is explicitly a way of affecting others' actions by providing external motivation. It is an attempt to control others behaviors (this is meant plainly, not necessarily judging whether trying to exercise such control is bad).

The intention behind the reward might not even be to control, but unfortunately that doesn't change that that it does do control even if inadvertently. Yes, according to Alfie Kohn, such rewards, even innocent seeming things like praise, can indeed backfire.

Marshall Rosenberg had this question: When someone does something that you want them to do, what reason would you like for them doing that thing? Would you like them to do it purely due to the reward (or fear of the withdrawal of the reward, which is functionally a punishment)? Or would you like them to do it because they themselves see the value in it and are self-motivated?

This is not to say that rewards have no place in life, just that they are a tool that should be carefully considered, and to understand that they will not solve most problems and may make things worse sometimes.

The alternative to rewarding or punishing others involves working with them in a less coercive fashion. But that's hard, and I don't know that there's a ready answer for what exactly to do in each situation. NVC could help sometimes.
Its not true that "that only one of the two major American political parties is even feigning interest at fixing what is clearly a vulnerable system".

Apparently some Republicans support this bill. I bet there are some Democrats that don't support the bill.

Partisan reductionism presents an overly simplistic view of a complex phenomena.

And bills don't represent ideology anyway. They often have unintended consequences. Politicians might be interested in fixing a "vulnerable system" while rejecting a particular bill for some other reason. For example: Voter ID.
AFAIK its underlying spirit has pretty much always been in regards to government with origins in ancient Greece as it pertains to democracy(the system of government).

The question is: Is a PhD more likely to have the skills necessary to do the job I need them to do? In my experience the answer is, all else on a resume being equal, "Yes". Some one with more training and familiarity with research roles should be given the shot. Also I agree with others in that PhDs are really good at throwing something workable together. In my experience throwing something workable together is all we do in tech.
You could build your own CDN on top of k8s across multiple cloud platforms and use BGP and anycast DNS to completely own the infra... but this isn't that.
Twitter and Google are not government entities and can remove any content they want. That does not make the content illegal.
Right, totally agree with you. Very situational and dependent on the skill level of others, whether you need to play GTO or not, tournament vs cash, how deep you are in a tournament, how many BB you have left, etc.
As an anarcho-capitalist, I feel very happy that Facebook is banning nationalist content. They should have done it ages ago.

However, banning all separatists?

Well. Not all separatists are created equally. Sometimes it is a question of getting out of a union for the sake of reducing the state, and this is in no way vile. Quite the opposite.
You are proving the OPs point. No government compelled cloudflare to stop providing services for the daily stormer. They stopped because most people don’t want services from your neighborhood white supremacy DNS provider and that was what cloudflare would be known as if they did.

Should the government compell private internet service firms to service anyone?
neop1x has a great response. A more concrete example would be a gaming company that started out with AppEngine for its server support for the game. Once the game has a proven revenue stream, the economics of moving from AppEngine to AppScale are a critical next step to maximizing ROI. You have all the code, now you just need to host it somewhere. Can't do that with any other serverless Platform.

It's important to note that AppScale is an aPaaS, and API-platform-as-a-service, where you're guaranteed a consistent API with the ability to plug in different implementations. Something even beyond your typical openness in F/OSS software, too.

Actually no, go read ISO C and compare it with POSIX expectations.
Having read all ten of these books I can agree with the sentiment that i didn’t “regret” reading them, however describing them as “productivity” is a poor classification. Personal Effectiveness is a much better description. People often use “productive” and “effective” interchangeably but they really aren’t remotely the same thing. Productivity is related to quantity of output, whereas Effectivness is the act of using ones creative energy for the highest value. If in the same amount of time/effort you can make 100 worthless “widgets” or 1 excellently made product which should you pursue? One sounds “productive” whereas the other is “effective”.
> This is clear discrimination

Every decision is discrimination.

> As if people with different shades of skin being nationalists are nicer than white nationalists.

A “white nationalist” isn't “a nationalist with white skin” but “an adherent to the ideology of white nationalism”.

You can be a white-skinned nationalist and not be a white nationalist.

> Is it 1984 already or we still have some time?

1984 didn't feature discrimination against either white nationalists or white-skinned nationalists, so it seems unrelated to your complaint.
I'm sure you can technically speaking, it probably wouldn't change the legality of what you're doing... if you get caught.
Compared to what kind of payment onboarding system? Outside of free cash, anything related to setting up a bank account, or a credit card can take up to 7-10 business days if not more, post an application to do so. Do you know of any onboarding system of payment that is faster? It seems like this is just a random statement by itself that is not in the context of all the other onboarding mechanisms of every payment system currently used. Care to calibrate Lightening onboarding with any other mass payment system? Even if you use square, paypal, venmo etc, they need to be linked to real checking accounts, credit card, other verified (with long onbaording) payment systems etc.

Furthermore, 2-3% of all transactions on many of these systems are fraudulent, but the payment systems ACCEPT This as an acceptable level of fraud and cover the expenses, in order for faster transactions.

Square knows for example it won't be used in coffee shops over another competitor if Square on average takes 20 seconds longer to process metadata in conjunction with the transaction itself to see if its an attempt/fraudulent charge, so they consciously cut corners here and accept this liability so we can all get coffee 8x a day.

This is why bitcoin has industry standard confirmation blocks so the network can address and blacklist attempts at doubles spends and keep a master chain.

This is basic blockchain 101 compared to standard knowledge of onboarding to every en masse payment system we all anecdotally have experience with layered digital transaction technology and the losses associated with that.

The lightening network is as mentioned above with links, rapidly evolving to expediate this while still maintaining the underlying benefits of transaction consensus that avoids fraud.

You may deal with fraudulent exchanges as you will do with fraud around any new technology (heard of the internet before? there were lots of sites for fraud, and much worse when it came out, and still are, we just all get smarter about what we click, and hopefully in this case, who we throw our money at, which you should be doing anyways for any new technology...) but the fraud here is associated with like top ranked comment said, not the protocol but the flurry of business activity around it, and is really null and void to the technical conversation itself, which is really what evolves communities like this past these handwavy statements...

I really don't mind constructive criticism of blockchain based technologies, but the issue is the conversation rarely evolved because of cargo culting statements like this that ignorethe very benefits of moving to a blockchain based payment system.
Why AI researchers should reconsider protesting involvement in military projects
>Nobody knows exactly how often Bitcoin is used for payments or what it's used to buy.

I wouldn't go that far. This is much more related to Bitcoin's relative "newness" and lack of mature AML tools than anything inherent in the protocol. There are a number of startups that offer blockchain tracking and forensic analysis capable of tracking the kind of money flows you describe. Your statement seems much more applicable to something like Monero or other obfuscated ledger intentionally designed for privacy.

It is an open ledger, after all.

How about this analogy:

3 newspapers dominate the news industry. Their circulation reaches the majority of people in a country. They refuse to publish editorials / letters from a certain point of view.

That fits all of the tests that you have outlined above, yet I think most would agree the newspapers have the right to editorialize and selectively publish what they choose.

The militant "left" was a real problem in the 70ies and had been so since early that century. Death toll: 10s of millions

Militant "right" is always a problem. Death toll: millions. Mostly "others" (jews, east Europeans, disabled people)

Militant "Muslims" are a problem in large parts of the world and has been so for centuries. Death toll: not sure. Ironically most Muslims lately.

And of course: militant "Christians" was a problem in certain centuries. Death toll: hundreds of thousands. Ironically mostly Christians?

I write "left" and "right" here because I find it unfair to blame concervatives and ordinary socialists for something that is more about being totalitarian than about more or less tax or ownership.

Same goes for religions to a certain degree (although there's no doubt that for example old Norse (viking) religion was very focused on war compared to Christianity).
This is awesome, will definitely try it out.

They existed long before the internet and will exist even if they’re banned from it. When it comes to racism, a lot is spread through family and friends. Get to know certain people long enough and they’ll do the old ‘look both ways and say “they don’t want you to know this, but the truth about (x group of people) is...”’ routine.

Ban what these clowns say on the internet and it might end up giving them more power, since it lends to the “they don’t want you to know” aspect.
Spaceship Earth at Epcot (Disney World) actually featured this in its 1994 update (coincidentally, sponsored by and prominently featuring AT&T). (The overall theme of the ride, under AT&T's sponsorship, was the history of communications-- ultimately culminating in a scene depicting a vision of the future of global communications thanks to the internet.)

It may be the only thing out of that scene that hasn't really come to fruition yet. They show video calling-- we have that. They show telemedicine-- we have that. But it turns out that real-time, speech to speech translation is Really Hard, even as text-to-text translation has gotten massively better over the past few years.
I think you misunderstood the intent of an argument that was not very well made. I think his point is that if the group banned coincided more with the majority values the discussion would be different. For example, if Facebook banned feminist content or YouTube banned climate change supporters. Neither of these is a race and yet I think the discussion would, indeed, be very different.

I support free speech (in the truest sense).

If Facebook wasn't a platform so many use then I might support there censorship as creating a space for a unique kind of dialogue.
Just like hacker news has certain rules that help shape this unique community.

But since there as big as they are, and since there not the only ones censoring this kind of content. There not just creating a unique space, there making it extremely difficult if not impossible in some cases, for this perspective to be voiced at all.

And that is damaging to free speech.

I bought the vehicle at the start for $5k, then sold it at the end for $5k, so I don't count it as an expense. I drove it 40k miles and the vehicle cost nothing :)

I've met plenty of backpackers that travel the world for $10-$12k per year. Backpacking is cheaper than going with a vehicle if you are a single person, though a vehicle is cheaper as soon as there are two or more people, especially when you go to parts of the world where it's easy to camp out in the wild for free.

I don't understand your points about the NSA letters, which makes me think that my point was missed. I am saying that the NSA letter claiming that only some information was logged is fully independent of the open source code of the server. Assuming the NSA letter reflects the truth, there could be more information or less information that what appears to be collected from the open source server code because, once again, the server does not have to be running the open source code, and even if it were, that does not preclude other systems from running against the same information the server has access to. Hence, open sourcing the server does not affect the security of the system at all. If the system is insecure without knowledge of how the server works, then the system is insecure. Period.

I think you're trying to argue that open source is good, and I agree with you. Open sourcing the server has many benefits. The only point I have consistently been trying to make is that open sourcing it does not help with determining the security of the system, whatsoever.

edit:

> If you didn't have the NSA letter, would you be able to verify the source code?

No, but even if the code was open sourced, you would not be able to verify the code that is running.

> If another project got an NSA letter and responded to it, would it tell you anything about the source code?

It would tell you something about the code they are running, yes, but nothing about the code they open sourced.

> This is simple: Having the source code means you get to learn more from the other signals, no pun intended, of how that source code is used.

This is equally simple: the source code that is open may have nothing to do with the source code that is running, and you must assume that they are not equal when auditing the security of the system.
Lyft Increases IPO Price
I'll preface this by saying that I'm super new to GUI programming in general, but my best guess at the problems that I've been having with Go are that GTK expects all the UI code to be single threaded, and the Go scheduler will just move stuff around to different threads as it sees fit. In practice, this ended up being just one giant function with all of the handlers inlined as anonymous functions. Really gross. My troubles could also stem from lack of understanding of Go internals too.

In Rust, my understanding is that it's a bit more like C or C++ in that multithreading requires an explicit opt-in and you can be a bit more thoughtful about what workloads are running on what thread (i.e. lock gui to one thread, do background processing elsewhere). This also looks pretty neat: https://azul.rs/ Not sure about the state of it, how useful it'll be, etc, but it already looks more complete than most GUI libraries for Go.
Cal Newport is not “peddling” anything. He’s a respected academic in computer science and has written 3 books a lot of people find immensely helpful.
