I'm hoping to use a simpler version of this neural net, which should reduce computation time by half. There are 8 weight matrices that are dynamically blended every frame ( the bulk of the computation ). This number can supposedly be reduced to 4 (according to original research).

They are fascinating creatures, and very curious. I don't tend to worry about them much around here (BC coast), because they do at least have a very good idea of where you are. As someone else mentioned, they very rarely hurt people, despite being hugely capable of doing so.

We also tend to get quite a few humpback whales here. Because they don't echolocate as orcas and dolphins do, and they're massive, I'd be more concerned about one of them accidentally taking me out.

Here's a story (with video) on a local humpback encounter. Make sure you watch right to the end for the mama. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/humpback-wha...
You link only pertains to "asserting their rights to be free from employment discrimination including harassment", and none of the example bullet points cover a mass walk-out, or organizing/encouraging fellow employees to stop doing their jobs.

I suspect you're still right on the law due to other provisions - it's just that link, and section of the law, doesn't obviously cover what happened at Google. You can "communicate", and resist specific discriminatory/harassing actions, without stopping all other legitimate work for speeches & sign-carrying.
And yet, flattery is not money.
Directly from your link “Worldwide, livestock accounts for between 14.5 percent and 18 percent of human-induced greenhouse gas emissions. The percentage is lower in the United States in part because our overall greenhouse gas emissions are so much higher than other countries: In the United States we emit 16.5 metric tons per person per year compared to a worldwide average of about five metric tons. Most of America’s emissions come from power plants and transportation, with each accounting for a third of the total.”

We emit 3x the emissions as everyone else. The fact that relatively meat is smaller than other places isn’t interesting. It’s lost in the statistical wash of our extreme usage but accounts for a large portion in real terms.

There is virtually no evidence that suggests calories from meat are better for your health than other protein but ruminant protein especially is carbon intensive. So the message is straightforward western countries moving to plant based protein decreases inequality in comparison.

I don't know if any evidence to suggest a vegan diet is worse than a meat diet. Provided all nutrient needs are met.

> I certainly would, if I started publicly protesting my employer.

I'm sure most Europeans here would agree that this is a very sad statement.
The same way that you "prove" anything in the legal system: Present your case in front of a jury, while your opponent has the chance to rebut your claims. Keep in mind that the legal standard for civil claims is "more likely than not," as opposed to the more famous "beyond a shadow of a doubt" standard that is used for criminal cases.

So, you'll go up at trail and present a bunch of data points, and build a narrative around those data points. Look, you say, I had good reviews from my managers and glowing recommendations from my co-workers. Despite this, I was fired shortly after I Did A Thing. Is this a coincidence or retaliatory? Your employer would attempt to provide evidence that your work quality actually dropped off, you would attempt to present evidence that either the quality stayed the same, or else that goalposts were moved for no good reason.

Note that both parties have the ability to compel various types of evidence to be produced. You would be able to subpeona the employer for emails between bosses, or manager notes, or reviews and such. You could be able to compel people to testify around a variety of facts.

... if this process sounds rather onerous, now you know why trials take a long time and many parties prefer to settle privately rather than engage in the full court process.
So if we don't know its longterm health effects, why are people so eager to replace meat with it in their diet?
Remember the healthcare.gov debacle? TurboTax isn't that much and it saves time and headache. People think in binary of free vs not-free while not considering the cost of time.

For the next two days, it kept telling me my SSN was frozen. Then, I gave up!

I believe the M (in $100M) also isn't based in roman numerals but is a convenient dual meaning of Mega- (the metric 10^6 prefix) and the first letter of million.

You can choose to eat whatever you like but meat absolutely isn't essential. It seems like a lot of people frame the debate as if the only two options are eating meat with every meal or being vegan when there is so much room in between. You can still get plenty of animal protein in eggs and dairy. It's also the case that the typical American eats way too much meat and not nearly enough vegetables. For most people, eating more vegetables and less meat will only be a benefit to their health.
Yeah. Scientific Linux was never particularly interesting as linux technology. It was held up as a success story for deploying a domain-customized Linux distribution at very large scales. And by all accounts (I never used it) it was very successful. But upstream has gotten better and app deployment in the modern world (c.f. Docker et. al.) has made strides in decoupling itself from OS weirdness. So they probably just don't see the need anymore.
What kind of comparison are you referring to? Are there studies of some kind that you're referencing?

Most of the scientific research[0] points towards plant based diets being the best thing for us.

Maybe, maybe not. I don't know if this kind of thing reaches trial at any point, but I wonder if discovery would turn up any sort of direct code copying or reverse engineering done by poached employees.

Perhaps the company even used decompiled code, it's not out of the realm of possibility that they simply directly stole the whole thing.

I'm not sure any of that is actually likely, but I think that the fact that some paragraphs are directly lifted is a massive red flag.

Laymen try to be careful online in completely unproductive ways: they keep logging in and out of Facebook without even deleting cookies, they disable data transmission on their phones when at home, etc.

The only way to keep privacy online is to compartmentalize. Use one proxy and profile browser for discussing politics, another for HN/Reddit, yet another for LinkedIn. And always block everything you don't need. Start with ads since you virtually never need ads. Use various nicknames and avoid Facebook if you can swing it.

Beyond that you only need a secure (up to date) OS, Signal, and maybe occasionally Tor. It may or may not hold up against an NSA-level adversary but you will easily lose most advertisers and corporate surveillance.
And what would the lawsuit be based on? Stealing documentation for how OAuth 2.0 works?
Forgive me, but all I really see that’s ripped of are...some API docs?

You can tell they copied them but this is likely the work of a single lazy employee rather than indicative of an entire company.

Consider that the value of a company is more than API documentation. It’s the customers, the business relationships, and the employees. The actual tech is last in the things that are valuable.

If you want to survive in this industry you need to understand that eventually someone is going to copy your product. They might even do it better than you. Unless you can prove fraud, there’s nothing you can do. There’s no crime in copying someone's public API and offering an identical service; people do it all the time.

Instead of worrying about your competitor and some lazy employee they hired there, worry about your own product, customers, business. Start planning your next feature or next way you’re going to WOW your customers. That’s your real job.

Now get to it!

From the article: “To see that headline, honestly, knowing what I know about the dramatic change in neuroscience in the past 15 to 20 years, it’s not a lot different than seeing a headline like “The Myth That Evolution Applies to Humans.” That would be comparable.”

That made me chuckle.
> The idea here probably isn't patentable. "Locate and unlock a car's doors remotely" is not exactly original.

I don't want to be disrespectful and also don't want to condone somebody ripping off API docs. But if the whole product is nine pretty simple and straightforward RESTful API endpoints with OAuth2 integration(eg. [1]), then I have a hard time to understand why there are not hundreds of other companies doing the same thing. Where is the value here, is it the integration with car manufacturers?

You're wrong about this. The walkout organizers were engaging in concerted action to redress a specific workplace grievance, and that conduct is protected under US labor law.

Google is not allowed to retaliate, either by punishing them, or by offering positive incentives to others to not participate in the conduct.
Can you say more about this?

Your article says about `count += 1` that "we can do all this without the overhead and complexity of using proxies or accessors. It's just a variable."

But it's not just a variable; it's a magic variable that $$invalidates its contents. I'd be much happier to write `state.count += 1` and allow my debugger to step into the proxy in dev mode, but then have the production compiler convert the proxy into a direct call to $$invalidate to minimize runtime overhead and support legacy non-proxy browsers.
Here is the way I do it and it takes all the workload out of it.

I've experienced up to 6 for a single verification. And not only do you get more, but they deliberately add an excruciatingly slow delay to each image. It can take 10-15 seconds to solve a single image set, and then you still need to do 5 more.

"How is anyone supposed to establish WHY a company does something?"

There could be an email trail, or testimony from witnesses to conversations in which the motivations were discussed. That's direct evidence.

I'm still figuring this out myself, but I think that people are talking about race in at least two different ways:

1) Race from a biological/chemical perspective.
Stuff like 'DNA determines race' goes here.

2) Race from the perspective of all the things that happens to a person because they belong to a particular race (as defined in 1).
Apparently, being black and driving in America means it's more likely that you'll be pulled over by the cops, more likely that they'll assume you're a drug dealer, etc, etc. I wouldn't know because I'm not black, and every time I was pulled over by the cops I was clearly at fault.
Differences like these are discussed under the umbrella of 'race'.

The key is that in the second case there's nothing from biology / chemistry / science that says that black people should get pulled over more. That's just how things are in America now - it's a "social construct".

Again, I'm not an expert, but I think that's what people mean by 'race is a social construct'

If the animal is free from suffering, including lacking awareness of what's happening during the killing, that's as free from cruelty as you can get. If lacking life is what's cruel, then vegetarianism doesn't really solve that problem, since the animal would never be born without farming.
Interesting. I wonder why there aren't better studies on this, particularly when flossing is so widely recommended.
I'd like a lot more than that! Including memory promises (who frees associated buffers/handles), critical-sections involved in the call, and where it can be called from (user space? kernel? interrupt routine/driver? callback? hyperthread affinity?)
The point is that it is an option.

But return free filing is honestly the goal for most people and it already exists in many countries.
> I don't have a trust fund. I have to make my own living and I optimized for doing that. Waxing poetic about "occupational fulfillment" is something the upper classes do after they've been upper class long enough to forget how well they have it.

I also do not have a trust fund, actually the contrary, I grew up as poor as you can possibly be in the UK. Mother didn't work, had various vices including drinking and smoking which did not jive with our financial situation (living on benefits).

Due to that my mother put more worth into immaterial things, and that rubbed off on me I think.

Additionally; I've only been employed in a self-sustaining fashion for 8 years now. Perhaps I've lost what it feels like to be destitute- but I don't think I'd trade happiness for money because outside of not worrying about bills and food money doesn't actually buy me anything. Just a little more ease of mind.
Human societies have survived on all different levels on meat intake, from near 100% to 0. Nutrients can be obtained through many different ways, and these meatless meat products often advertise that they are more nutrient dense then their meat counterparts.

I also don’t believe the intention of these products to make everyone vegan, that’s not sustainable by current output. However, our modern society consumes more much then we ever have as it’s so easily obtained and so cheap. So we clearly don’t need this much meat to be healthy. So I happily welcome an decrease in my meat consumption and for society to greatly decrease theirs.

The Final Sentence Will SHOCK You
They don't do it because the technology just isn't there yet. Automated theorem checking is typically very difficult for any nontrivial theorem; automated theorem generation is so extraordinarily difficult, it's generally infeasible.

The steps to construct a proof of a theorem are as follows:

1. Formally define a language specification which will ostensibly contain the theorem statement and a proof.

2. Search the language space (the set of all strings of the language) for a proof of the theorem statement.

3. If step 2 fails, change the language specification to include prerequisite mathematics or an alternative statement of the theorem.

Even when you exploit clever structural properties of the theorem statement and the language definition, it's extremely easy to encounter a combinatorial explosion when you search for a proof.

On the other hand, suppose you already have a proof and simply want to verify it using a proof assistant. In order to do so, the language you define must be able to automatically verify all prerequisite mathematics which your proof depends on. Encoding that mathematics into a language is difficult and tedious, and dependency checking is itself vulnerable to combinatorial explosion.

It's a very active area of research in its own right, but it can't obviate this problem for the foreseeable future.
You're just stealing cows again, coming up with a clever argument against the studies you don't like while defending the studies you do.

The reason for horrible American dealerships is known. Many states passed protectionist laws, which basically ban direct sales. Dealerships became mandatory middlemen, and they exploit this position by offering a horrible service - everyone has to come to them anyway. The fix is simple - just repeal all those obsolete laws, and it will naturally boost competition and increase the quality of service in result.

Tesla had to deal this kind of stuff in many states, in order to be able to sell directly to their users.
Several years ago, I hired a boutique Silicon Valley law firm to create some terms of service and privacy documents for my company. As part of their long list of questions about how we would use our customers data, they asked for a list of similar companies and competitors.

I'd already reviewed all of our competitor's terms to get a sense of what other people were doing. So, when I reviewed the final documents that they wanted $5,000 for, they looked oddly familiar. A quick diff verified my suspicions. They had copy-pasted from one of our competitors and then search-replaced the company name.

When I called them out on it, they said it was common practice and not to worry. I found a new law firm and they never bothered to try and collect on that invoice.

Wouldn't Debian work a bit better and come with a better long-term stability policy? It seems strange to rely on the *buntus unless you're specifically relying either on proprietary software that's Ubuntu-targeted, or commercial support from Canonical. (But there are some spaces, e.g. GPGPU compute, where either of these might be relevant and Debian still has quite a bit of work to do before it can be relevant.)
This. I think we have to dismantle roles which have extreme expectations. If you're expected to be available 24/7 and basically abandon your family for your job, it's something which overwhelming selects for men, who have that classic role in society.
