Reminds me of an article I read about attempts to restore a Ferrari that had crashed and burned. It had been totally destroyed, the only thing salvageable was the serial number plate.

The debate was, of course, whether this project was a restoration or a replication. I don't think there's a difference.

A few years ago I visited a hangar in Everett where some enthusiasts had borrowed an Me262 from a museum in order to take it apart and produce mechanical drawings of everything. Then they built flying replicas from the ground up and sold them. Some changes were made for safety and practicality reasons.

So were they real Me262s or not? I'd say they were real. I wished I could have bought one.
Please feel free.

Even a cursory mention of the ability at the end of the readme would likely help many. With a verbatim script and verbatim command using it helping many more. I only stumbled upon this feature with enough context to really get it in the Ubuntu man pages and I don't know if I ever would have gotten to the pre-glob feature to be honest.

I do believe that technically oriented non-programmers would be the biggest winners from more exposure around it.
Thanks for posting that Norvig post. It's fantastic.
Not exactly the same, using C is like driving motorcycles without helmet and protective gear.
Eh. Plastic packaging is unnecessary for progress. Paper was and is always an option for packaging. This specific case seems more like an arbitrary screw up here rather than a price for progress.
Agreed.

What really clogs up my notifications is when other people “like” a post I’m mentioned in. You get a few ‘runaway’ threads that pull on a few dozen people and every like becomes its own notification. A dozen people each liking a dozen tweets on the thread, the notification timeline becomes absolutely useless.

Let me mute all likes (potentially keeping likes only for my own tweets).
How do you feel about the OSCAR [1] project? It is similar to Sage in its mission, although smaller in scope, I guess. And it looks like they were able to secure significant funding (at least for the duration of the project).

Not sure what else is different, besides using Julia as the glue language, rather than Python/Cython.

>My point is only that even in colloquial usage there are patterns involving "guys" that are clearly gender-neutral at this point and have been for decades.

Yeah, that's fair. I think we can agree that the meaning is ambiguous.

TBH I just figure that "folks" is a change that might, in some cases, make some people feel more welcome, at basically no expense in time, effort or clarity. Seems like a decent cost/benefit to me. But I don't get up in arms about it - this thread notwithstanding. ;)

And now I'm tired of talking about this. :)
For what is worth, even if it is not perfected yet, SAGE is nonetheless already an amazing achievement that has helped me in my studies.
Oh Bloomberg you make it sound like everyone is doing it. Not.
Indian media? All media is like that.
The "good news" is that if it was serious, we would very likely already know. Therefore via some Bayesian inference we can claim that it's relatively harmless, but obviously worth keeping an eye on.

The bad news is that there are and will be entrenched interests that will likely try to "work around" any health concern, and maybe, potentially we will hear that the existence of 5G is worth it. (For example the tech advantage helps with healthcare more than the radiation harms us.)
Does anyone have the numbers on how much money was “saved” by not doing maintenance? Was it more or less than the $1 billion required to rebuild it?
The choice of words matters. Any type of self preservation by the EU is demonized as evil self interest.

positive wording -> negative wording

Keep 4 core principles of the single market as written in the "constitution"? -> EU is strong arming the UK and trying to punish it in negotiations and is not willing to even give small concessions.

UK is part of the EU until Brexit negotiations have been concluded -> EU has the upper hand in negotiations.

EU wants to avoid a hard border and the potential societal unrest at all costs with the backstop -> EU is trying to tie the UK into the customs union indefinitely with the backstop. / The EU is trying to impose a border between northern Ireland and the mainland.

I mean seriously what did you expect? Negotiating the constitution of a country or political union isn't realistic at all. It was never going to happen unless the other party wants to voluntarily self destruct itself. Do you think Russia could renegotiate the abolishment of human rights in the US to arrest political enemies abroad? Because that's just as silly.

Heck I've also read this gem recently (paraphrased):

Copyright directive passed with significantly more than 70% of the countries voting in favor -> The EU is threatening the sovereignty of member states by passing laws to countries that have voted against them.

The problem with the EU in this case isn't the democratic process. It's the fact that countries voted in favor of it at all.
8K doesn't make sense, anywhere. I'm middle-aged, and I can't at 2 meters distinguish 4K from 1080p. Nobody in the world can see the difference between 8K and 4K. It's a shameful waste of resource and ridiculous planned obsolescence.

In fact, it should probably be forbidden for wasting precious resources for no good reason.
That would be cool, we could even make our own little neighborhood or something in some city.

Thats sort of how I feel about it being done in 5 years. Take your time, make it a big deal, its ok if you spend a lifetime on it. People who visit will get to say they saw it being built, while it was under construction. When it is finally unveiled at the end the story can be "this was xxxx years in the works."

> ...I trust their findings more than of [sic] my personal experience...

Is this the current state of our education? This is straight up indoctrination. Does this thinking carry over to other areas? If you are not informed by your personal experiences how could one hope to be more than a shell for others thoughts and ideas?
And the compression - good gawd. I recently upgrade to a 4k OLED TV, and watching cable TV almost hurts - the blacks in Game of Thrones are painfully crushed, incredibly splotchy messes due to the compression.
If that maximized user engagement, then that is the UI they would present. The fact that they don't do that should tell you that their tests have shown algorithmic feeds are more engaging for users.
I'm not sure I follow. A very big company that benefits from many subsidies and government assurances used those profits gained to improve the lives of it's workers. It very literally _trickled down_ from benefits given to the top.
To me the greatest boon is to rural areas. I am incredibly excited about the opportunity 5G opens up to those who currently live with marginal access to the Internet because the monopolistic world of ISPs has prevented fast, consistent internet outside of major cities and population centers. The opportunity for education and services to everyone is the major promise of 5G. Now I just sit here and hope that actually comes to pass.

As discussed elsewhere in this thread (search my nick), "no one" refers to frontrunning as encompassing both legal and illegal cases except the author of the definitive textbook on market microstructure.
>owners for services if okay

This is pretty much the exact opposite of your assertion at the beginning of this thread, to wit:

>once you submit the code for review and it passes and gets merged everybody owns the code. Everybody.

Anyway, this last comment I agree with entirely, and is pretty much what I've been saying all along. So I'm glad we can agree.

>you need to know how the thing that you're responsible for works
Agree with this as well, but a critical point is that "the thing you're responsible for" may be subset of "everything" in your organization. Maybe even a relatively tiny subset, in a large organization.

What an awesome way to split hairs.

"Howard Callaway, Secretary of the Army, was quoted in The New York Times in 1976 as stating that Calley's sentence was reduced because Calley honestly believed that what he did was a part of his orders—a rationale that contradicts the standards set at Nuremberg and Tokyo, where following orders was not a defense for committing war crimes.[98]"

[98] Marshall, Burke; Goldstein, Joseph (2 April 1976). "Learning From My Lai: A Proposal on War Crimes". The New York Times. p. 26.

Sure sounds like an excuse to me. Now that I think about it, you're not splitting hairs, you're just flat out wrong at best.

I kinda agree. 4G feels "fast enough" to me, just like PCs have become pretty much "fast enough" about a decade ago.

I'd rather see more work put into usability than in even higher speeds.
I'm getting kinda tired of Google's bullshit. It's a small step, but as of today I'm ditching Chrome and moving back to Firefox.
No matter the screen size?
> Even HN has a more sophisticated system

HN has such low volume that it can be centrally curated by a few people who enforce policies like "no flame bait -- and I'll know it when I see it." Or, for example, when someone writes a quick attack on HN, they are encouraged to flesh out their point with substance which is something that Twitter fundamentally discourages.

It's hard for me to see any way forward for Twitter. By design, it amplifies the worst characteristics of humans from tribalism to outrage fetishism.

For instance, even if you configured Twitter to never see posts from the opposing cultural faction or trolls (usually used as synonyms), the people you follow will retweet/quote them and bring them back into your feed.
$1000 is still a helluva-lot for a room imo.. Also sharing with 13 other people, sounds like a nightmare.
Sure, passengers usually want smooth rides. Software piloted cars could easily achieve this due to more cooperative behavior. E.g. distances to other cars telling you what they intend to do can reduce to that necessary for an emergency break. Maybe a bit more when someone in front of you has set a less stringent g-force limit.

This obviously can only work if necessary protocols get adopted. Industry might do it themselves, otherwise passing such regulation should be quite doable... little opposition from voters due to AVs mostly owned by big fleets but a significant prospective quality of life improvement.
>“More relevance means less time on the service, and that’s perfectly fine,” Dorsey said, adding that Twitter can still serve ads against relevant content.

What do shareholders think of this?
Great! I filed an issue for it: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/issues/1252
I think it would be a little insulting to try and replicate what was completely destroyed. Repairing something that has been lightly damaged or degraded over time is one thing. But when it's gone, it's gone, and the parts that are rebuilt should reflect our times, with a healthy nod of course to the existing structure that still remains. This is the next chapter in the building, something people will look back on a thousand years from now. We should make something we can be proud of.
Would be interesting to see MacKenzie Bezos' listed here.
Why can’t a network have self moderation at a global and local level? Reddit does this to an extent, with each community having its own separate moderation and culture, and the front page which is curated from a list of communities. The trick is have a moderation bottleneck, the curation, between the local and global stages.
Abbreviations are one thing (they make things shorter), precise technical terminology another (they make things exact), but writing “APPL” instead of “Apple” is simply signaling.

EDIT: Especially since, as axaxs pointed out in another comment, APPL is apparently the wrong symbol for Apple. This strongly indicates that “APPL” is not used because it’s important to use the correct symbol, it’s there to signal that “I trade in stocks, and if you don’t, then I don’t care about you.”
Dorsey to me has it half right. Twitter should just follow with what we typically do in real life: "follow" people, but masked by interests we trust those people about. I want to read about politics from the political analysts I follow, but don't care about their cooking adventures on the weekend. I want to read about tech from the software folks I follow, but don't want to hear about their politics. I sure as heck don't want to see "liked" tweets by people I follow in areas outside of the interests of theirs I care about.

Beyond that, I'm generally disappointed that we never hear about features that try to get users to act better, by their own volition, vs reactively shutting them down. Social media tools should help us understand the potential impact of our words and actions before hitting "Send". Only if you assume people are incapable of improvement, or that people are not fundamentally good, would it be fair to ignore the potential for sites like Twitter to design things so users will act better on their own vs having to be slapped down when they do something terrible.

>But by trying to help her gain illegal access to an account for the purpose of enabling her to steal more classified information,

This is not what happened. Access to the account provided no additional information, it just would have protected her identity somewhat.

>To save Manning from being punished Assange could've guided her to only expose documents related to specific wrongdoing. That would've at least given Manning a plausible whistleblower defense. That defense may not have succeeded, but it probably would've led to a much, much shorter sentence if it failed than what she originally got.

This already happened. For example, only 75,000 of the 91,000 Afghanistan war documents have ever been released. The defense used this in her trial.
This has evolved quite a bit since I last tried it - thanks for the reminder!
I can second that :-)
It empowered me to do casual Gröbner basis computations without learning a new tool/language (Singular).
The person who managed their articles just left and went to Cruise.
The fact that 400 people managed to put out the fire is part of the history too. If this happened 100 years ago, would it still be able to stand?
Or a fraction of that. Depend on the secret deal. Could as well be a symbolic 1$ if Qualcomm lawyers determined that it was a lost case and that settling it fast could prevent any additional harm in related antitrust cases.
FWIW, Apple's stock symbol is AAPL.
In Vancouver $1000 gets you a studio basement den. A duplex 1 bedroom is like $1800

From the article:

"nine-bedroom home, dubbed “The Castle” by the 14 students who share the property, is apparently owned by an Afghani pop artist, according to Boodhoo."

A 9 bedroom house - just imagine the size of that. Not a nightmare, but something like Tony Stark lifestyle.

Edit

Oh I misread - a room is $1000. In that case it's not that much of a great deal. At first I thought it was $1000 for the whole building which would put it in "super cheap pricing" territory

The slide shows that NSA was collecting data from those providers, not that the providers willingly supplied the data. When someone steals from you, the victim didn't "knowingly" give the property away.
This is a great point. The beginning of the disputed slide continues to build up a point—Crater (the prediction software) is overly conservative. The major caveat that the test data is far afield from the actual situation is buried at the bottom of all that.
I very strongly disagree. There is a ton of data that wouldn't exist without the products you use. At best, it would be jointly owned because it is jointly created, but just as you are deserving of privacy, so too are companies with respect to their code and technology.

Do you "own" server logs simply because they reference your user id or an action you performed? Do you own the model architecture of machine learning models that may have incorporated your data?

The idea that you should own any information relating to you is entirely impractical, and completely disregards any notion of intellectual property too. There needs to be some protections for users with respect to privacy, absolutely, but it cannot be anywhere close to that one sided.

In particular, if you as a user want to use a service, you must agree that some data derived or about you is going to be kept private, because it is combined with IP of the company providing the service to you. It's reasonable to limit what companies providing services can do with such data, but at a minimum "providing the service to you" must be protected.
Is it just me or has the real estate market become more volatile in recent times? That and the economy over all. I can only imagine how much worse it much be in other nations. America is often less volatile as the world's largest economy, but I know Europe is still stuck with negative interest rates and didn't manage to raise them into positive territory this expansion.
Jack said that Twitter was not created, it was discovered. Now it's in the risk of being undiscovered for someone else to find it.
IRT to applying ultra-high bandwidth networks to devices which don't need a lot of bandwidth, the point of moving to a higher bandwidth network is to allow these devices to quickly report back what they want to say and then get off the air faster. The faster they can report their small heartbeat of data, the more devices you can support. Lets assume this traffic light sends a snapshot of the intersection at a frame a second, each frame being 100KB. So, 100KB/s would be is normal load, so there's no real need for it to have a dedicated 100Mbit link. However, if you've got a few thousand devices wanting to share that link space, you're going to need more bandwidth available to the whole. Its also good for the general responsiveness of the network for that 100KB transfer to happen in less time, as only a single device can talk on the network at once. Its the same thing with home WiFi connectivity. 54Mbit would theoretically be plenty of bandwidth for a movie stream and a few phones/tablets browsing social media, but if you're using 802.11g you'll probably have issues with your video stream as those phones and tablets hog the airwaves while they load a batch of images. It takes time servicing multiple devices in the same channel, time that takes away from max effective bandwidth available.

Also, while its true one could just wire up all of these fixed devices, these wiring costs would massively drive up the cost of implementation. Trenching city streets to lay new cables costs a lot of money, just ask Google.
It's the sad state of reporting nowadays.

Interesting that the quoted “hard questions” about failure to remove Nazis is in direct opposition to the criticism Twitter has received on, for example, the second Joe Rogan interview.

When I view what Dorsey is saying through the lens of the Rogan interview, I don’t see a push towards “algorithmic feeds” which you have already, but towards something where the users actually have more control over what they see, not less. But it’s impossible to tell from these short quotes.

What’s fascinating is the ambiguity of goals and responsibilities Twitter has regarding “hate speech” and so forth.

The quotes in the article seem to indicate questions presuming toxic viewpoints need to have their platform removed, the questions in the Rogan interview work from the assumption stifling speech is bad, and Dorsey keeps saying he is concerned about the safety of individual users.

It’s bewildering because I’m not sure anyone really understands what anyone else is even trying to accomplish.
> The FBI asked Apple to put a build on a phone that would allow them to brute force the passcode, leaving the device and the build on Apple's premises the entire time.

It doesn't matter how well it might be locked down or secured. If the government coerced them into building it, it wouldn't be difficult to go one more step and require apple to hand over the modified OS.
