All US States Need Privacy Laws Like California Consumer Privacy Act
It took until I started learning differential geometry in the form of General Relativity to arrive at this insight, even though I feel like the notion of a matrix as a linear map was drilled in pretty thoroughly. The notion of matrix multiplication as function composition was presented almost as an interesting side effect of matrix multiplication -- that is, multiplication by these rules came first, and, hey, look, they compose!

Personally I found the prospect of tensor algebra to be much more intuitive than either of these; with matrices thrown in mostly as a computational device. Even a vector (through the dot product) is just a linear function on other vectors, and the notion of function composition carries through to that and to higher-order tensors.

Covariance and contravariance are a little more complicated to completely grok, but for most applications in Euclidean space (where the metric is the identity function) the distinction is of more theoretical interest anyway.
I'd rather they do neither because it's a nuisance that is more trouble than it's worth.
I'm not. If the NYT had allowed advertisers to handpick stories to appear alongside, I wouldn't consider this substantially different.

What I'm interested in is the switch from choosing to appear alongside a category or keywords (content targeting) to appearing alongside a type of story, with its more specific impact. The impact of ML isn't better-than-human parsing, it's almost certainly worse-than-human. It's just a question of adding story-level targeting which wasn't previously available, along with access to user studies that go beyond demographics and engagement to self-reported emotions.

No, by the plain view doctrine information gathered at least by normal human senses without a physical trespass is not a search.

No, they wouldn't, just like a police officer indiscriminately looking through your car window for violations of cellphone use while driving laws without any particular cause isn't.

For anyone wondering why RECs are not enough: they don't make you carbon neutral, not even in theory. Even though renewable energy is better than non-renewable, the processes that built the renewable plants might not be carbon neutral. Also, renewable energy credits might just displace the previous user of renewable energy to non-renewable, which means that you won't have impacted the total renewable energy usage ratio of the planet at all.

To be carbon neutral, you'd have to buy carbon offsets like Google [1] do. There's a lot of really complicated accounting that goes into making sure that you aren't just pushing the dirt from one place to another when you think about renewable energy and carbon offsets.

I'm not implying that Rust should have these yet; I am fully aware that the situation for Java is different due to serious and long efforts in developing great refactoring tools.

The point I was trying to make is that the view that Rust is great for refactoring depends heavily on what one is used to. For example, as compared to any dynamically typed language, a strongly typed language will be better for refactoring.

Writing refactorings that work reliably is very complex, and I'm not sure if it is practically possible to write the same kinds of refactorings that Java has for Rust. Two of my favourite refactorings in IntelliJ are extract method (with automatic duplication finding) and inline method/expression. I think that such refactorings are a lot more complex to do reliably in Rust due to ownership and borrowing rules, unnameable types, and so on.

Hey OP here!

When I first was introduced to matrices (high school) it was in the context of systems of equations. Matrices were a shorthand for writing out the equations and happened to have interesting rules for addition etc. It took me a while to think about them as functions on their own right and not just tables. This post is my attempt to relearn them as functions which has helped me develop a much stronger intuition for linear algebra. That’s my motivation for this post and why I decided to work on it. Feedback is more than welcome.

Didn't the whole "drinking and driving" thing establish that the 14th amendment is limited when it comes to the complicated relationship between a private vehicle on publicly-owned roads?

I can see the argument that a GPS tracking device crosses the line because the intent is to track the owner of the vehicle and the scope is far beyond their interaction with the public roadway.

But on this? It's directly about your usage of the public roadway for storage purposes.
Modern State of Fertility 2019
I totally feel this guy's pain. When I started at Sun there was a 'direct to framebuffer' window system which we called "Suntools" It was fast and pretty much all in the kernel and pretty awesome, except this new thing "X11" allowed you to have a big beefy machine (sort of a Raspi 3 equivalent today :-)) with its fans and noise in some machine room while the display and input was on your desk. There were even people who made things they called "X terminals" which were instant on devices that provided the display, mouse, Etc. Sun switched over to X11 and the UNIX windows wars began.

When the SparcStation I came out, I backported Suntools to its frame buffer on a lark and it was screaming fast. That was pretty fun.

Oddly enough, I still use X11 a lot. I have probably half a dozen ARM systems around my office/lab doing various things, and it is simpler to run an X11 client locally and just kick off an xterm to these machines than it is to try to do some sort of KVM nonsense. It is also more capable than running a web server on the Pi and trying to interact with it via web "application" pages.

Oddly enough, I recently (like about 6 months ago) became aware of "KVM over IP" which, believe it or not, you hook this piece of hardware to the display port (or HDMI) and the USB port, and it sends the video (and HDMI audio), out over the network to a purpose built application on a remote system. Wow, sounds just like X11 but without the willing participation of the OS vendor :-).

The point I'm trying to make is there absolutely is a need for both. A direct to the metal way of cutting out layers and layers of abstraction so that you can just render to the screen in a timely way, with support for UI features. (otherwise we'd just program to Unity or Vulkan and be done). But their also needs to be a standardized way of letting "well behaved" programs export their graphics and I/O across the network to a place more convenient for the user.

Arguing passionately for one use case at the expense of the other doesn't move the ball down the road. Instead it just pits one chunk of the user base against the other half.

I think you have based this all on false assumptions, which is why we have a communication breakdown. I still don't get it.

> Thus my planes are carbon neutral,

How though? The carbon went into the atmosphere first. Then - some time later, how long? - an equivalent amount has been removed. But that takes time and that time is lost forever, the heat has been captured and the Earth warmed, already.

> Emissions avoided are as good as emissions removed from the air.

These two things are not equivalent. Emissions avoided are fare better that emissions removed from the air. Emissions removed from the air have already produced a warming effect on the Earth, while avoided emissions have not.

> So again, in net, flying my planes produces carbon, but a ticket on my plane also pays for solar panels that save carbon.

This doesn't make any sense though. You have still made a large carbon output, and your assumption is that without your plane, the house would never convert to solar but that simply isn't true. It's a false dichotomy and I don't understand how these two things could be equal to each other (removal vs. non-output). They are physically different processes with different consequences.

> to help them install solar panels when they couldn't otherwise.

This doesn't make sense to me though.

> REC's help send more money to the renewable energy industry, bring more capacity online faster, and advance their R&D quicker than would otherwise.

That's good! But it has nothing to do with Cloudflare "reducing" their carbon footprint.
No it isn't. It's called a debate. Show me the increasing temperatures since the 1930s and I'll concede I was wrong.
This is true of all remote voting. The all-postal ballots in Washington and Oregon are certainly subject to this, and there is a certain rate of voter coercion that goes undetected, particularly within households.

For the proponents of all-postal voting, this trade-off is worth it for the sake of the increased participation rates. Democratic legitimacy can be very nuanced and delicate. A well-publicized example of voter coercion could destroy trust in the existing system, but then the well-publicized problems of lines and poor voting hours eroded trust in the previous system too.

The post I was responding to didn't call GS terrible; they called people who admire GS terrible. That's a lot more people than GS, and that is a very questionable claim.

To your point, I think maybe 99.9% of people agree that murderers are terrible.

The number of people who agree that Goldman Sachs is terrible is nowhere close to that. In fact, I suspect close to 25-50% actually admire them. I think it's wrong to call a quarter of the population "terrible" just because they don't agree with your definition of morality.

Thanks for this great primer! Not quite through with the article, but I've recently been using my Raspberry Pi as a workstation (I mostly use SSH anyway), and I've had issues / confusion with hardware acceleration and X vs. Wayland for a long time.

I never seem to be able to get hardware acceleration to work properly in Linux on my MacBook---whenever I open up a webpage, CPU usage goes through the roof, unlike in Mac OS. Wayland seems to help a bit, but there seem to be lots of bugs than can only be fixed by the window manager.
This is not a debate, it is a waste of time.

> Show me the increasing temperatures since the 1930s and I'll concede I was wrong.

What does the 1930s have to with any of this? Nobody who is making statements about climate change has the 1930s as a key moment, why do you? That date has nothing to do with any of this. You are using logical fallacies and wasting people's time and energy by making false statements.

Yeah some places have really struggled to come back, I get that, and timing does make a huge difference. A friend of mine bought his house in 2006.

Right - pizza dough really, really wants the stretchiness that gluten gives you. I have occasionally made gluten-free "pizza" because my wife has coeliac disease, but it's a poor imitation, and lack of gluten is the big problem. It tends to end up either crumbly or (if you marginally overdo the xanthan gum or equivalent) too hard. And there's no way you can stretch it properly, you just have to roll out a (small) base.

For many other kinds of baking, we're pretty successful with gluten-free versions - we'll happily serve our gluten-free bread to guests with no shame, provided it's really fresh - but pizza really doesn't work very well.

Sounds like you'd really enjoy reading Francis Fukuyama's "The Origins of Political Order" <https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00457X7VI/>. He analyses how different cultures came to wrangle large states, showing how they all had to deal with the same issues although they dealt with them in different ways. The base issue is that the state has to replace the family as the strongest allegiance: a person holding office can't use that office to enrich their family, else eventually the state has nothing and warlord dynastic families result. So you get Janissaries (kidnapped Christian boys) as the elite fighting force in the Ottoman Empire, and the 11C (?) change in the Church that prevented priests from marrying (because they'd been enriching their families). Since I read the book, I can see that fundamental tension between state and family playing out everywhere. Highly recommended!
“Of course the people don’t want war. But after all, it’s the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it’s always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it’s a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger.”

The ongoing "global war on terrorism" is no exception.

> Maybe we should stick to facts over divisive exaggerations.

Or we could avoid mischaracterizing lazy math as fact. New Hampshire has no income or sales tax compared to Massachusett's 5% and 6% respectively. New Hampshire has higher property tax, sure, but coupled with the COL disparity you can't honestly say the two are the same.

Furthermore, it's missing GPs point which is that for all the vehicle-related taxes Massachusetts roads are notoriously terrible. New Hampshire's infrastructure ranks much better.

EDIT: I'm also having a lot of trouble finding a source for that 7% figure they have for property tax. Best I can figure is it's around 1-1.5% in MA, 2-2.5% in NH. Also, looks like they based it on a $200,000 house without accounting for the fact that buys a lot more house in NH than MA.
