It's different from AllAdvantage with the addition of market mechanisms to correctly price the attention consumed by ads.

That's why users get tokens for viewing, why users can turn the ads off entirely, and why the tokens are tradeable on exchanges. It creates a built-in feedback mechanism. If BAT is priced too low, then everybody will opt out of ads (because it won't be worth it to them), very little BAT will be available on the market, and advertisers will have to bid up the price of BAT to run their ads. If BAT is priced too high, there will be excess ad inventory, no advertisers will buy in, and the price of BAT will fall until it reaches an equilibrium.

AllAdvantage.com failed in a large part because they mispriced the rebates going back to users. They burned through all their VC cash, didn't provide enough value to advertisers, and went out of business. Brave avoids that by letting the market make the pricing decisions.

This is something that couldn't have been done at all before cryptocurrencies, which is what makes this project somewhat interesting.
Amazon seems to have noticed this and keep making it ever harder to identify who's selling and whether you're buying from Amazon or not.

At this point I find eBay more trustworthy than Amazon.
This was a very different scenario though. The intent was a legitimate research. I feel like OP is more looking for a justification for something he knows is wrong.

Even if it was conducted purely for research, the findings wouldn't really be interesting. Results for whether a company gives you a callback if you add experience they are explicitly seeking is hardly going to be surprising.

Amazon has always focused on lowering prices, as long as Bezos is around I don’t expect that to change. By the way Walmart clobbered competition with lower prices for last 60 years, did all retail go away? No, in fact several places like Target, Costco etc popped up and have carved out a niche and they all still compete on prices

I don't know how to say this without it sounding like a brag, but here goes anyway: this is University of Waterloo in a nutshell. I'm entering third year, studying math, and every single one of my friends has gone from high 90s in high school (multiple valedictorians) to struggling to keep an average in the 70s-80s range.

Anecdotally, one of my friends did a work term for the Dean of Science (and pure mathematics professor) at another university (which shall remain nameless) and she said the stuff we've been doing in first year isn't covered until 3rd/4th year at that school. Heck, her old high school AP calculus teacher couldn't do assignment 1 from our first year calc 1 course.

Fair enough. But there's a big difference between losing 127 million / year like Palo Alto networks, and losing 700 million / QUARTER like Tesla just did.

Yes, 700 million gone in one quarter.

Does this pretty-much rule out (without a huge amount of effort) nonmodal GUIs?

Fine: it's easy to accidentally train ML models so that they will make systematic errors. Often these errors stem from systematic biases in our society, model creators should therefore be aware of the potential biases[1] that their models could reflect, and how to prevent them.

I’d agree that Prosperity is not an open source license, but I still emphatically maintain that Parity is.

Moreover, the arguments against them I’ve heard haven’t been based in lack of free distribution or OSD 1. Anyone is free to redistribute Prosperity- and Parity-licensed code.

Amateur is ad hominem, and also simply incorrect. I won’t pretend my views are consensus, but I have spent a lot of time with OSD, and the result has been disappointment, not reverence. See:

The articles going around about insurers not paying cyber claims that cite Mondelez are disingenuous. The Mondelez policy was a property & casualty (P&C) policy with an extension for some data property, not a separate cyber insurance policy. It's quite possible that insurers would balk at the claim considering it an act of war, but they haven't done it yet. In my opinion, this case is more about the wrong type of coverage. Mondelez should have purchased a stand alone policy.

For a large segment the unemployed criminal problem is probably a larger hurdle that the drug problem. Somewhere between 80 and 1,920 hours of fully-employed-appearance free labor is enough for them to achieve labor market value that outweights a drug-rehab-hard-labor-camp diploma.

Here you go: A comprehensive definition for metabolic syndrome https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2675814/ - see Table 1 as the definition can vary, but NCEP ATP III is 3/5 of central obesity, fasting glucose (or high HbA1c), >150 mg/dl of TG, <40 mg/dl(M) <50 mg/dl(F) HDL, >130/85 mmHg blood pressure.

A recent review of 2009-2016 NHANES data concluded that only 12.2% of Americans were in "optimal cardiometabolic health". https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/met.2018.0105

The guidelines they used were (very similar but slightly more stringent than the ATP III):

* waist circumference (WC <102/88 cm for men/women)

* glucose (fasting glucose <100 mg/dL and hemoglobin A1c <5.7%)

* blood pressure (systolic <120 and diastolic <80 mmHg)

* triglycerides (<150 mg/dL)

* high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (≥40/50 mg/dL for men/women)

* not taking any related medication

Even w/ ATP III, only 19.9% of American adults don't have metabolic syndrome.

What metabolic syndrome really is, is hyperinsulinemia/insulin resistance. You should get your estimates by having fasting glucose and fasting insulin tested for to get HOMA-IR and QUICKI estimates (TG-FB and TC/HDL are two other estimates you can use). If you are IR (probably 80% of American adults), then you can improve this by eating less often, eating earlier in the day, or eating less carbohydrates (especially those with a high glycemic load) - doing all three is pretty doable and actually tends to work synergistically (endocrinology!). Exercise also helps improve insulin sensitivity, but you can't really outrun a bad diet.

It's interesting to consider the psychological aspect here. By publicly saying they expect a fine in the range $3-5 billion, Facebook increases the chance that the regulators ultimately decide on a figure in that range or close to it. This is an example of 'anchoring effect' : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchoring

Given this effect, Facebook has an incentive to 'low-ball' their estimate.

I neither coined “open software”, nor do I think it misleading.

Quite the contrary. Until the recent release of the Blue Oak Model license, with which I was also involved, I don’t think there had been a legally rigorous license as easy for non-lawyers to read and apply than Parity.

I don't fold my clothes, and haven't in 20 years.

Which is to say, my clothes do not get folded by anyone. No one folde them for me, nor do I fold them myself.

You don't have to fold most clothing. You can just toss it all in a basket and let it be. Most cotton wrinkles will disappear after being worn for about 20 minutes. Movement, body heat and ambient humidity removes wrinkles automatically from a lot of clothing. So, basically wrinkles from the drier usually don't last beyond most morning commutes.

And then, of course, there's not giving a single fuck about useless minutia, like... fucking wrinkled clothes.
DataCamp CEO steps down indefinitely in wake of 'inappropriate behavior'
The problem with first class functions in a shell is that the main duty of a shell is to fork processes. Once the shell is forked, the only communication available are inter process. All of the environment is no longer shared.

For example, in es:

; let (i = 0) { fn hello {echo $i; i = <={%sum $i 1}}}
; hello
0
; hello
1

The closure variable i is incremented after every invocation of hello, but if hello in a subprocess, then i doesn't change:

; hello | wc -c
2
; hello
2

This is because hello is a subprocess of the main shell when it is in a pipeline. When it is used without the pipe, then it is executed within the shell environment, not a child.

I have been using a fork of es since Dec, mine has the %sum builtin above, along with some other things: https://github.com/injinj/desh

Note to authors: please define your terms when you first use them, or provide links to the definitions.

Of course I know what a GUI is. I've been building them for decades, and building tools that other developers have used to build GUIs. (I was one of the authors of the "visual" part of Visual Basic.)

But I have never before seen the terms "immediate mode GUI" or "retained mode GUI". And I'm pretty sure there are many developers like me who will have no idea what you're talking about. It takes only a moment to add a quick definition or a link the first time you mention a specialized term, and your readers will definitely appreciate it. Thanks!

You're describing a language whose data model is hierarchical, not relational. In your code you first convert a relation into a hierarchy of collections. Why would you need to do that if Clojure used a relational data model?
> you don't understand the fundamental difference between localist and distributed representations

That's true, I don't, and I've never said otherwise. I do, however, understand information theory, quantum computation and quantum supremacy. So I don't know if you're a quack or not. What I do know is that your claim of having achieved quantum supremacy on a classical computer is almost certainly false. I don't need to understand the details of your algorithm to know this, I only have to understand what "quantum supremacy" means and why it matters.

I also know that I have looked at your site and read some of your papers and I can't make heads nor tails of them. It's possible that this is because I'm an idiot and I'm simply not capable of grasping the brilliant idea embodied in Sparsey, or that I just haven't put enough effort into it. Or it's possible that this is because it's all bullshit. I honestly don't know.

But I do know one more thing, and that is that you're getting awfully defensive about all this. Why would you do that if you were confident in the merits of your position? What threat could a lazy idiot like me possibly pose in that situation?

> Even if you hate systemd’s politics/etc the actual units themselves are objectively better IMO because they’re declarative.

It's a pity the overall system is so inflexible and brittle. Well, that and the 'death by a thousand (theoretically independent but tightly coupled) systemd components'.
There's no reason that that can't all be done as part of the underlying IMGUI implementation; what you're working with above that is essentially a DSL that renders out to a workable set of controls. Layout management and the actual rendered graphics / animations are handled by the code you don't have to see.

If anything, this is actually a lot like Web 1.0 programming: server side rendering, often using templates that end up looking a lot like a DSL. Each page view is rendered based on those templates against data fetched in advance of the output.

You can get pretty deep with that kind of thing, though of course the page refresh time was what killed this otherwise fairly nice style of writing an application. Users expected actions like sorting a column to be as fast in the browser as it was in a Windows 95-era file explorer or Excel, and it simply wasn't happening.

(Imagine if first-class client-side-interactive UI components like a sortable table, tabbed panel, etc. like what XUL provides had been in HTML in the 90s. We wouldn't need half the Javascript bullshit people have to use now to replicate that functionality half-assedly...)

> It feels like the transition from a flip phone to an iPhone in 2008.

It seems like the analogy is very apt.

Lots of people pointing out flaws with Tesla's cars and saying that when the incumbents make it into the market they will squash them. Same thing happened with the iPhone - it didn't have multitasking, copy/paste, mms (all things that even standard dumbphones had). Nokia, Blackberry are huge Apple has no chance.

A product can simultaneously be inferior in some (or many) aspects, but still feel somehow be on another plane of feeling like the future.

[product talk aside, Tesla's real problem seems to be execution - can they actually build the damn cars, and can they make a profit on them?]

Unlike you I use my real name here. I'm honest, straightforward, informed, and will state whatever commentary I want, backed up with over a decade of experience in advertising and tech. Skip the personal jabs and put up an actual argument.

>> Microtransactions are about user behaviour and tech.

Cool. As I said, the tech part is easy and has been solved plenty of times before. What's the solution to user behavior? Brave doesn't have one.

>> Innovating on a new utility-scale ad / content model in a multi-sided market with a new browser relying on a new cryptoeconomic infrastructure

These are buzzwords. Nobody cares. I analyze based on the fundamental principles: An ad network is not new. Microtransactions are not new. Combining them is not new.

Brave claims ads are overrun by middlemen and yet is a just another middleman. BAT is useless in the real world where advertisers and publishers are, and exchanging crypto for currency is more taxes and middlemen.

Brave claims to stop fraud but has no counter. Measuring attention accurately is an unsolved problem and only made harder when it's decentralized and hackable. Ad fraud isn't because of opacity in adtech, it's because of a lack of consequences, something Brave again has no answer for.

If you want to claim you're revolutionary but yet have no new business model, no plan on changing user behavior, and use buzzword-laden descriptions, then yes there's a high chance it's not going to work. Of course anything can happen and I welcome it if it's successful, but I really don't care either way.
While I don't disagree with the concept of prioritization, that's not the same as cause and effect.

There's a picture of the electrode array on the Nature site, and it looks about 3cm x 3cm, with about 16 x 16 sensors. So 256 inputs to the analysis system.

I know nothing about these kinds of electrodes, but how sensitive do they have to be? Sub-microvolt? And how fast? Sub-millisecond?

Finally, on the results themselves. If I read it right, the sensors had been previously implanted into epilepsy patients, and were "re-purposed" for this study.

So I assume they patients were able to speak? If so, it's trickier to demonstrate advantages for those who have lost the ability to speak.
