Teens below 15 years are parent's responsibility. You can't blame internet for being an ugly and pathetic parent.
Cynical self: They raised a $5mil round just to re-do wikipedia with more self-referential VC pats on the back.

Intrigued self: If there is anything worth raising money for, it is building out a collective knowledge base for all of humanity.

Angry self: Wikipedia is quite literally one of the most amazing things that the internet and millions of strangers have ever produced together, and lives as a vital proof of concept of a collaborative process on a scale not seen before. If you are interested in making wikipedia more useful with more linking on in-depth knowledge, more multimedia, and a richer UI for editing, why not build something that builds on wikipedia instead of building something entirely new?

Academic self: You are throwing out ideas like "cover all topics that exist" and "neutral objectivity" as if entire fields of human inquiry don't exist into what those things even mean. You seem to dislike the current editorial standards of wikipedia, but I'm not at all clear where Golden will draw its lines or how?

Also, what are your thoughts on the morality of essentially crowdsourcing all the input that you will feed to your query engines and profit off people using? Aren't you essentially making your contributors all unpaid workers? If you are serious about building out a for-profit version of wikipedia, why not figure out ways to distribute micropayments based on how useful others find the information someone took the time to contribute (as an example)
If I remember correctly Beto's involvement with the Cult of the Dead Cow was mainly from an essayist standpoint. Less from the technical perspective. I could be wrong
I've been living in and out of Southern China for a long time as part of my job. I think I will be looking for wife here.

Finding a good wife here... means finding a level headed woman above anything else. Not too crazed about getting married, nor too crazed about work and personal accomplishment – a very small minority by late twenties here.

My two best tries were other foreigners.

First, Chinese Pakistani, well... never expected such a youthful looking woman to be in her thirties.

Second, Malaysian Chinese, met on tinder, she had a chemical, and a machinery parts businesses, PhD in nanotechnology, a patent portfolio, and a defence procurement contract from CAIC. It would've been way too impressive for a 28 years old if she did not have mistyped her age by quite some number...

Other attempts, mostly locals, well I can not not start relationship with a woman who start a talk about marriage on a first date. It just feels so awkward for me.
It was not unheard of for CRTs to have an internal metal shield of some sort.

It's relatively straightforward to map a materialized view to an ORM entity in SQLAlchemy, if that's what you want to do:

http://www.jeffwidman.com/blog/847/using-sqlalchemy-to-creat...

SQLAlchemy's ability to separate out the query API, metadata, data objects, and combine them all via mappers is very powerful. I've been using SQLA for many years, and I still regularly find some functionality that I was never aware of.
Wow I hadn't thought of it that way. Thank you
Someone's education or knowledge of technology is a bad indicator of how competent they would be in decision making.
Oluo literally cites a study that suggests that, contra your confidence, revenge absolutely can be a factor:

"A strong relational theme that the participants described explicitly was revenge. Several adolescents explained the aggressiveness of their act as a way to make other people feel guilty for their deaths and made the vindictive intent of the attempted suicide very plain"

They did the exact same thing with these filters honestly, they got gritty with their sound. Not a bad thing, just a style choice. Distortion, screaming into the mic, the hiss of the amp, all of that used to be combated by audio engineers working in rooms deep underground below the vibrations of street traffic. We have a cultural perspective where we are blind to that change in sound, but my grandma, who is used to Frank Sinatra's smooth voice, told me she never liked the Beatles because she thought they sounded hoarse to her ears.

Because an ensemble of humans can usually outperform a single human (quite like in artificial neural nets). One way to do it would be to setup a sufficiently large majority-voting ensemble of human classifiers.
This is an absurd argument, and I'm 50/50 on right to repair.

"This is dangerous to disassemble so we shouldn't have to provide instructions, tools, and documentation on to how to safely disassemble it."

Or

"Normal people can't repair these things, so we shouldn't be required to help normal people repair these things."

Those are exactly the arguments why Apple should provide documentation, parts, and tools! So people don't get hurt!
Fair enough, but many people believe that without understanding the underlying drivers...
Well then, if the battery is such a risk I can only recommend two outcomes.

packaging improve for the battery component so that it is not a risk or that such items not allowed to be taken into areas where they may be a risk.

heck they could even be regulated as such they be replaceable without disassembling the phone if Apple cannot render them safe otherwise.
> Everything else is made-up bullshit that IT industry refuses to optimize (and, in fact, makes more complicated as the years go by).

What are these things? I've never used a phpbb host before.
I don't assume they have no value. And this general sort of decision-making happens all over in companies (and the public sector) all the time. It's not limited to any particular department, it's just a little more checklisty and cargo-culty in the security world (and I would expect in HR where it concerns procedures like this).

[EDIT] to provide some context, I've come to see a huge portion of decisions about policies, procedures, tools, and more as basically personal and departmental risk mitigation and blame-deflection rather than anything aimed at helping a business function. At a high level that's the goal, but in the details it becomes about making sure there's always something or someone to point a finger at. Conveniently these things don't always need to be directly relevant or useful, so long as something's being done and can be put on a powerpoint slide when the C-suite or someone at some company yours is courting asks a question. As long as "what are we doing about X?" can be answered with "Y and Z, both of which are standard industry practices, see this HBR article about how IBM does it" you're good.
> This is an example of lowering prices while maintaining standards.

Nah. It's an example of a "loss leader." The zero-margin price on some items isn't sustainable on all items and just serves to get people in the door. It's a shade of the same spectrum as "predatory pricing," which can be illegal but is not always.

That quote has an interesting history.

When Franklin first said that, the "those" he was talking about was the Pennsylvania Assembly. They were trying to impose taxes to raise money to defend the frontier.

The Governor kept vetoing these attempts, because the taxes would affect the Penn family.

Franklin wrote a letter to the Governor objecting to this, and included that quote.

The "essential liberty" he was talking about was the liberty of the Assembly to exercise its power to impose taxes even if they would affect the Penn family. The "purchase" he was talked about was literally the buying of weapons to arm those defending the frontier.

Later, he used that quote again but with more the sense that most people use it for now. Someone on Reddit once gave me a reference to where he did that, but they were one of those people who deletes their posts after a while and I didn't save the link in time.

It seems to me that an iPhone is a lot easier to repair than a car. Sure you need to be careful about the gluing if you want to retain the aesthetics, but replacing the motor in your car is also a pretty extensive operation requiring extremely expensive tooling and if you aren't careful you'll end up hurting the aesthetics just the same. Of cause you could then redo the paint job, but at that point, aren't we really in the realm of cost/tools/effort where doing a decent repair job on an iPhone is still much easier?
You can already do that with Wikidata.

Edit: and before that, with Freebase (which was later merged in Wikidata).

Steve Jobs of course famously left Apple (not on the friendliest of terms), then returned several years later to "redefine the company for the future" (very successfully of course). His return marked a major new period for Apple, with major changes in direction and execution.
It might be somewhat safe to take a poor test result as correlating with poor knowledge on a subject.

And it might be safe to assume a high test score is repeatable.

The challenge is to find a test that correlate high scores with good knowledge - not merely with being good at taking tests.

Because rarely do we care about how good someone is at taking tests; we'd like to measure how good their knowledge is. That's hard to do if we only can infer poor knowledge from a poor test result, but not good knowledge from a good test result.

I'm sure they have a bunch of enzymes in their dataset for which kinetic measurements have been published. Another interesting follow up study would attempting to improve kinetic behavior. They could, for instance, analyze some of the catalytically perfect enzymes out there (TIM, SOD, catalase, etc) and see if the model could project improvements onto existing orthogonal protein classes.
Hi julesrms,

Some quick 2-second feedback - I tried running the default example in Brave, it failed, and then as a good user I wanted to report the bug to the community, but that requires finding the ROLI forum and signing up (providing DOB!) etc. I think it would be great if it were a bit easier to submit bug reports without as much hassle.

True, but your FIAT is FDIC insured to an extend. Neither Tether nor any of these funny moneys are.

Furthermore, I'm pretty sure non accredited banks cannot run fractional reserves legally.

Most of these FBI foiled plots are done with open source intelligence and reports from family and friends about specific individuals or they are posting all over Facebook about it. When you read the fine details, in my experience anecdotally almost none of the recently publicized foiled plots appear to be because of NSA intelligence. So the question remains what the NSA data is being used for?

I worked at Novell while Eric Schmidt was the CEO. I thought he was a great leader and enjoyed working at Novell while he lead the company; in spite of the fact that my direct boss was an oversized tube of ass paste.

I liked Google as a company a lot better during Schmidt's tenure as well. Best of luck to him in his next role.

You are misunderstanding fractional reserve banking. Fractional reserve banking means that the bank only has to keep enough cash on hand to meet their expected reasonable obligations.

Banks still need their books to balance. That means that their liabilities can not exceed their assets. A bank can be solvent on paper but if there was a rush to withdraw by their customers, they may not be able to pay cash for all withdrawals because that cash would be tied up in loans.

In the Tether case it isn't that they loaned out the money they took in, rather their liabilities exceed their assets. Thus Tether is bankrupt on paper. And if everyone tried to withdraw their assets, they would also not be able to pay everyone back.

Thus banks may be illiquid with a balance sheet that ultimately balances (e.g. not bankrupt), but tether is both bankrupt and likely also illiquid because of the 850M loan fiasco.

I swear tether is like Wiley Coyote who has run off a cliff but hasn't yet looked down. I question my sanity a little bit because I do not understand why tether isn't completely disreputable at this point, I must be missing something.

They do, but we still build sidewalks for pedestrians. If you want more biking, you need to make people feel safe to do so, and many do not feel safe being next to cars driven by angry people inches away from them.

The Homogeneity of Instagram Travel Photos
Curious who the analogous Wilhelm II is in Google today? Sundar is not one - Sundar is actually very diplomatic and strategically-minded, which is how he ended up CEO of Google in the first place (he managed to avoid all the political struggles common to Google's SVPs at the time, such that he became the obvious successor when they all left to run VCs / got fired for sexual harassment / became top brass at Yahoo/Softbank/Twitter). If anything, Larry was the Wilhelm II who picked fights with a lot of big up-and-comers, but even he was pretty restrained and strategic about it.

Google's problem now is that anything smaller than a billion-dollar business is not on their radar screen, which means that by definition they are going to miss the next growth industry. And they don't really have anyone in the company who can do anything about that, because you don't go to Google because you want to work on the small problem that might become big, you go to Google because you want to work on big problems.

> I want a system that aggregates things I care about to me, not to dig through page after page looking for something interesting, tracking things via email notifications

What's the problem with email notifications? I would think that's the ideal decentralized system that aggregates the things you care about. Is the problem that all notifications end up mixed in your inbox? One should be able put up an automated filter that moves incoming mail that matches arbitrary criteria and organizes these mails in folders. In fact, such a filter I believe is created automatically if you use `+` addresses in gmail and probably other email providers.
People still think serverless is a good idea? There must be a certain threshold of horror story blog posts necessary to kick bad patterns.

Another lesson the poet learned from these studies is that these tests are about having the means to pass them, by which I mean having the money to buy the correct answers (whether that be in the form of written answers or a tutor who has seen the answers and knows how to guide your student to the right answer without explicitly communicating it).

Around $400-$600. More if you need to do in-depth troubleshooting.

The 3D printer OP uses is a Monoprice; it looks like the delta mini (https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=21666). It costs $160.

The circuit boards and the solder paste mask are made by another company and delivered by mail. It's been a while since I looked up costs, but it's quite cheap these days, and the watch's circuit board is small, so I can comfortably say it cost under $100 to get the mask and a few copies of the board.

The soldering could be done with a $200 chinese reflow oven, like the T962 (https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=t962), or with a $20 toaster oven, an oven thermometer, and some careful timing. (Some people do their surface-mount soldering with just a frying pan and their kitchen stove!)

The rest is just basic hand tools -- screwdriver, file, sandpaper, tweezers, maybe a magnifier. Maybe a $5 Arduino clone to help with debugging and programming, and a $35 T12 soldering tip+controller for doing soldering test stuff and "I messed up" wires.

If the first try doesn't work, and it's not obvious why, you'll to spend more money.

If fixing the problem requires changing the board board then you need to order new ones, and the mask to solder them.

DC voltage levels, current consumption, and electrical continuity can be checked with a $20 multimeter. The presence, frequency, and integrity of signals can be checked with a good used analog oscilloscope costing $100-$200. Some things are easier to check with a new, basic digital oscilloscope costing $300-$400.

If the electronics are good but there's something wrong with the software, you'll need something to read the signals the chips are exchanging with each other. Basic, low-speed (less than 1 MHz or so) signals can be read and generated with the Arduino board, or a $30 Bus Pirate. If your project uses higher-speed signals, you'll need a logic analyzer. A good USB model is the Saleae Logic 8, which costs $400.

(There is overlap in the capabilities of digital multimeters and logic analyzers, so you can sometimes just buy one and use it for both purposes.)
I tend to agree with your Wiley Coyote comment and it made me laugh. Thanks.
> I don't do that myself because I don't use the cloud.

What does that even mean?

You don't use the internet?

Surely you have an internet connection, and you could make your device accessible through the internet somehow for accessing your data. It doesn't require "the cloud" in the sense that you keep your data resident in "the cloud" on third-party servers...

Punch a hole in your home internet firewall, or terminate a reverse ssh tunnel on some super cheap VPS provider to access your data from home.
