I'd love a good new Macbook Pro I want to buy. Or even a good Mac Pro to start with.

I get it, Apple is in their Ballmer era, making tons of money so no one is allowed to argue. But it doesn't 'just work' anymore. They've fallen from grace, which admittedly is hard because they were so good its hard to always move upward. But they are in stagnation and a little embarrassment now. Tell me these keyboards are awesome? The touchbar useful. The battery life in exchange for thinness amazing.
> How about you provide proof that your ISP doesn't store your stuff, as you claimed?

> That's not how it works.

Yes, it is. GDPR forces them to inform me about this, should I ask them. My ISP was forced by the government to log metadata as all Dutch ISPs were because the Dutch government demanded this, by law. However a court case mid '10s in European courts forced them to stop citing human rights.

> ISP data is attached to your damn real name. There is nothing worse. A VPN would first have to rat you out to the ISP, which at least creates another step.

You can do nothing, real name wise, when you have my public IPv4. Not in the least because I have DHCP, and don't run any services whatsoever.

> It is becoming an issue in more and more places. And do you want to risk it? If Tor works for you, great. But it is blocked much more often than VPNs are.

Everyone will have to think for themselves in their threat assessment.

However, VPNs add an additional threat to your threat assessment. Is that worth it? Is it worth it that they run a VPN in some datacenter on a KVM or VPS they don't even own?

> Stop it. I didn't recommend ANY paid VPN at all. I myself use only free ones.

Even worse, TANSTAAFL.

I actually have a paid VPN which I use for copyright infringement related things (which is civil court). Yes, there it adds an additional layer. For police, not so much, and I would never route all my traffic to it...

The company that produces the meal kits can buy all the ingredients in bulk.

They can portion all the ingredients perfectly so that there's no waste.

They don't need to staff, light, heat, cool, and stock any stores.

And you don't need to go to the store and back, which means less emissions.

The argument is perfectly sensible, when we're comparing to normal cooking in American households. Maybe compared to a Mexican cookout for your whole extended family and neighborhood, it isn't as good, but that's not the most relevant comparison in a typical US context.

I just want to make sure I am clear on the argument you are making. Are you saying the average person can't easily be healthy without meat? That it would require them to do research? That it is easier for them to be healthy on meat-including diet without doing any research?

I agree that none of this matters as long as people can eat meat. They will if they can.
Let me just say I didn't mean to come across as overly negative, I think everyone working on the extension has done a fantastic job, it's a very minor quibble in the grand scheme of things I use multiple different machines so while my settings sync over, some of the "we've already shown the user the popup" stuff might not be (or maybe i need to sync more settings). I just am not a big fan of pop-up notifications in general so turning them off is the first thing I do when I can.

Other minor stuff like that (none of this is at all urgent):

- Having an option to disable requiring a confirm for kernel restarts.

- Smooth scrolling in the interactive window regardless of the higher setting from vscode / electron that disables smooth scrolling.

- Don't scroll on output in the interactive window unless it's currently scrolled to the bottom (Allows reading things at the top while more results scroll in w/o having to fight the scrollbar)

- A bit better support for jupyter magics / builtins without displaying errors (e.g. things like %%html or %%javascript or !ls or 'display(dataframe)' all show errors)

In terms of why I like the split display:

I think it's more conducive to writing re-usable code than Jupyter and I can re-read things in the order that I ran them. It also keeps the code closer to together so I don't have to jump over a bunch of intermediate results when I go between different area of code.

Thanks for making the interactive window, it's been a real pleasure so far and overall I really powerful, I wish it was in every language!

Oh the horrors of getting a letter when you were taking bribery and extortion.

Poor poor people. They have a it tough. Not like I... what happens to me if I engage in extortion again?

Do I too get a 'horrible career ending letter'?

No! Then it must be easy.

It's not like my career would be over after I get out of jail with a criminal record. That's right. Civilian misbehaving has no consequences. Not like that letter. That letter is the hard core stuff of nightmares. Not like easy options like jail and massive fines.

Nope, there's another alternative: announce it when it's sitting in the backroom of every Apple store, like back in the old days. I'm sure Apple has their reasons for not doing that much anymore, but it would have avoided this very issue.
I think the most plausible explanation is the lack of slaves that stems from the steady downfall of the Roman empire. When Germanic warlords were pretty much forcing their way into the empire they actually accepted the life style of Romans. But a few hundred years later they switched to feudalism. Why, though?

I think that the Roman empire was founded on a source of cheap labor, slaves. It allowed for massively productive agrarian complexes and thus fueled trade and literacy. But when the empire got into trouble, the price of slaves must have risen massively. The consequence must have been famines and less labor for anything else than crops, in particular less professional soldiers.

> what's really happening is that a larger and larger fraction of resources is under the control of a shrinking number of extremely rich corporations.

Corporations are a legal fiction by which power is granted to people, so, no, that's not what is “really happening”. Corporations obscure the real distribution of power.

The reality is a ever narrower class of ever more wealthy (relatively as well as absolutely) people directs society.

> The corporations largely have diffuse ownership

Not so diffuse; the set of major capitalists is very small compared to the whole population, and the share of stock (and overall wealth) they control is quite large.

An HR department whose mandate is to limit legal damage to the company at the lowest possible cost. That is to say, all of them.

That intern story is excellent; I'm adding it to my bank of "weird AI tricks" like pausing Tetris to avoid losing.

More topically, you're quite right to object to that Amazon reference. As far as I can tell, the real story is even worse than mislabeling. Amazon devs wanted a system to spot candidates in resume banks, so they trained it to recognize resumes similar to the ones submitted to Amazon in the past. The entire dataset was 'positive', and output degrees of similarity instead of classifications. Amazon applicants are mostly male while the pool was presumably 50/50, so that was learned as an element of "Amazon-candidate-ness".

That's also an interesting story, but from the first publication (in Reuters) it's been framed as an uneven base rate 'inevitably/predictably/mechanistically' producing a biased result. Which is not only untrue but downright backwards, since it implies that the rate in the general data is what matters, rather than the relative rate between samples and positive classifications. It's yet another variant of the mammogram base rates question, and I wish people would stop trying to reinforce the incorrect answer to that.
So its easy because you've tackled this exact problem before? Is that what you are trying to select on then? Show me you've done this thing before?

I wonder if this could have been mitigated by offering a coupon to customers who tried the new stripe checkout option for months leading up to switching over?

If the cost of discount is less than the cost of supporting paypay it might be worthwhile.

Or if you pay more to use paypal for example raise prices slowly while offering a discount for using stripe.
Fossuser’s criticism was not directed at the article at all. It was directed at the Fulcanelli quote given by ohaideredevs.

The Dwellings if Philosophers (as translated) starts out with “Paradoxical in its manifestations, disconcerting in its signs, the Middle Ages proposes to the sagacity of its admirers the resolution of a singular misconception.” This says so little with such absurd wording that it’s almost word soup.

I wouldn't say you don't have schema's, rather you have schema-on-read instead of schema-on-write, and you use an extract-load-transform pattern instead of extract-transform-load. The data is replicated as-is into the data lake and only then do you figure out what to do with it.
That sounds like a hefty OS. My Arch install is currently using 4Gb, and this is a full desktop.
And any 3rd party seller on Amazon also has access to customers' home addresses.

Having my address isn't the scary part. It's having access to the content of all of my conversations inside the address that's worrying.

A voice assistant is just something I'll never allow in my house. The risk/benefit ratio just isn't there. It would have to be at least an order of magnitude more useful before even considering it.
No, people who Amazon trust to have access to voice information also have access to other information by default and automatically with no extra work.
The registration page is a little weak. Maybe add some info as to what the user is registering for. The page doesn't give any info.
I wonder why Stripe doesn't offer an option for this kind of service. In the end, people just want it to be simple. If Stripe provides the better business side tools and integration and an ability to have to trust only Stripe with my payment info, it seems like a win-win.

Still, there were families in those days with unfathomable wealth. If memory serves me well, one was so wealthy that when they sold their land after becoming Christians they caused a real estate crisis across the Roman Empire. (Source: The inheritance of Rome, Chris Wickham, one of the early chapters.) And just a few centuries earlier, Julius Caesar arguably was one of the richest to have ever lived on earth. It's sensible to expect that families with that kind of wealth to leave a trace in their ancestry. And yet with rare exceptions they did not.
> Pegasus has 500W at 320 TOPS. Tesla's has 72 Watts at 144TOPS.

Theoretical TOPS which can only ever execute within the 32MB SRAM that Tesla has created. Otherwise, Tesla's compute chip is stuck at 68 GBps LPDDR4 RAM. Pretty slow.

Pegasus uses HBM2 chips at 500GBps. Pegasus will be able to efficiently compute neural networks that are larger than 32MB in size.

Tesla is making big bets about this tiny 32MB SRAM. Bits and pieces of the CNN can fit in there, but almost certainly not the entire neural network.

You're right that this is a specialized chip. But even for NN / Deep Learning inference, it seems a bit underpowered to me from a RAM perspective

Did you read the book? Bribery and extortion are not "letter in your file" offenses. The book doesn't specify the punishment everyone received, but letter in your file was for things like improperly submitting receipts for travel, or hiring a buddies son-in-law.

Prison or at least standard white-collar prosecution was doled out for bribery and extortion.

Indie game developers often self impose crunch that is significantly more extreme than what many AAA developers go through, which can also lead to long term health or mental issues. There are AAA games that have little to no crunch involved in production as well (although universally that's not the case for the most popular games, unfortunately).

Could it be so because features sell products, not security (yet)?

If their customers (which are not u) and them feel like security is only a cost and not a selling point then they won't work much on it. After all they already sold those products and have orders for more.

Why do they recommend a paper record that can't be backed up and nobody can verify what it said when? Why not a digital file that can be backed up and with a published checksum that can be used to verify what the state was at a given point in time.
As has been discussed elsewhere, voter ID does not increase election security whatsoever. Voter fraud is vanishingly rare, and there are systems already in place to detect and mitigate it without requiring everyone to go out and buy IDs.

Democrats only opposed to Voter ID as long as IDs cost money to get. It is a poll tax, and poll taxes are unconstitutional.

The accusation that Voter Id laws hurt minorities is not baseless, it is literally the intent of these laws. Communications that were revealed during the discovery phase of the NC Voter ID suit show that NC Republican legislators commissioned studies to discover what forms of IDs are disproportionately relied on by black people and poor people, like welfare cards, military IDs, student IDs, employee IDs, etc. so that they can be excluded from voting with them.

Know what actually does increase election security and auditability? Paper backups, which Republicans in Congress are unanimously opposed to.
I think your second point is true for lots of (all?) vehicles today, which have an architecture of multiple modules communicating over a CAN (car-area network) bus. I did a firmware update on my Pacifica PHEV while I was driving it, and though I lost the ability to listen to the radio and change settings on safety and convenience features (rain-sensing wipers, blind spot detection, etc.), the car still ran fine (and all of the safety features still functioned).
