>> I would be vastly better off if nothing ever got filtered at all.

There are layers of filtering beyond what appears in your spam folder, layers that block obvious spam long before it gets anywhere near your account. If every email ever sent to your address wound up in your spam folder you'd beg for filtering.
Maybe researchers would like that, but PR is important even for academic researchers. Sexy and hyped topics get more media coverage, more funding and lead to more impressive CVs and careers.
I've worked as a government contractor in the past and cannot disagree more. The corruption I saw was almost entirely located on the side of the contracting companies using extremely shady tactics to sell junk to the government or encourage the funding of projects that would never see the light of day.
Just to be clear, your comments are refering to problems with Gmail's Spam filtering. Isn't that a different issue than what the OP is saying--that his mailserver is being blocked? In other words, emails from his mail server wouldn't even make it to Spam folder.
FWIW, you can trade USD/USDT at Kraken, which is a reputable exchange by most comparisons.
I kinda disagree with you here. You can do bare metal (no OS) and real time (on bare metal or with an RTOS) on a Pi no problem.

The difference between the two has to do with resources, architecture, and peripherals. Arduino is a low power, low cost, low memory, low speed 8-16bit microcontroller. A raspberry pi is a complete 64 bit computing system with 1-2GB of RAM and the peripherals you'd expect on most desktops. Arduino use Atmega chips while Pis use ARM cores. You need to program in a language supported by gcc for Arduino, but RPis can use the LLVM infrastructure.
At the time, only the wealthy owned land. Today in the US, 2/3 of people own their homes. Meanwhile, rich people have less of their assets tied up in real property. Someone worth $100,000 probably has most of that in their house. Someone worth $10,000,000 likely will have only a fraction of that in their house, and the rest in financial assets not subject to property taxes.
I think you are the exact kind of people mentioned by gp
>excluding diagnoises of cancer that occured outside of the town even if the diagnosises were on town residents.

I would be floored if they did this. I'm a statistician who reports on cancer rates for another state, and the universal standard for assigning locations to cases is the patient's residential address. Looking at Georgia's 2016 report[1], they mention using the SEER*Stat software provided by SEER[2]. I have the same software, and I've never seen it offer any information about the reporting facility beyond a general category ("hospital", "lab", etc). They would've had to work outside the well-worn paths using a custom extract from the cancer registry. Not impossible, but also not reasonable.

It's true that epidemiologists, or whoever looked into the clusters, could've been a separate unit from the statisticians behind the annual reports. And maybe they're not used to cancer epidemiology and didn't ask about best practices. But I'd be surprised if they messed up this basic thing.

Also, I've heard of the study mentioned in the article where only one out of 428 cluster investigations proved true. But the way it was portrayed at a cancer registry conference, the low rate is a combination of small sample sizes and over-reporting of "clusters." Cancer's a rare and frightening event, which are two things people have trouble seeing rationally.

Thanks for the link! I knew about strip, which helps a lot, but the other options look promising as well.

I really care about binary size, since for short running programs, or when startup latency is important it can actually be much faster in real time to have less, but slower code. Especially so on a slow HDD like in my laptop. Loading a few MB when it's under heavy load can take a few seconds.

Edit: Wow, LTO makes a huge difference. Almost a 40% smaller in my case AND it's faster. Really excited to try xargo now.
Sorry, I realise on reading that that my response makes it sound like I'm an opponent of making mutable state private. I totally agree with you, what I was trying to say was that mutable state in general is considered as something to be avoided if possible, however, if it is necessary it should be hidden i.e. made private
Entirely was. This is why looking up ALL the reliant stats instead of just some is important.

I retract my hypothesis.
One method is that your neighbors may report you. In China, part of the social credit system is that your neighbors will report you for doing anything against the law or the rules. So they may not 'block' you from putting it up and getting internet through it, but try going to work the next day you may be blocked from getting on the train.

Edit: Everything I said here was strictly factual. I'm not sure why it's so quickly downvoted so here is a source to back it up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dkw15LkZ_Kw. And one more, regarding the trains in particular: http://fortune.com/2019/02/22/china-social-credit-travel-ban...
Presumably all the services will need dedicated slices of spectrum -- they're all licensing bands from the FCC in the US for that purpose, for example. So: nothing, I don't think, but they might not work if in China they're unlicensed and those chunks of spectrum are also used for TV or whatever.

Plus if they operate the service in China, the companies could be fined, or the users of the satellite dish could be fined/imprisoned, etc., etc.
Marketing as a discipline is mostly about numbers (reach, sales, etc.). Ad buys and campaigns. This... this is the work of "Creative Professionals".
> If we want to put up warnings it should be for whatever remains of a failed society because they are the only ones who would need one.

That was the point of the exercise, yes. It was about trying to protect future humans from nuclear waste even if continuity of civilization had been interrupted by nuclear war.
There is a claim that "progressively loading images tend to degrade the overall user experience of a web application", but even if I accept that at face value (which I don't), I find it strange that they'd compare baseline JPEG loading instead of the progressive JPEG loading (you'd mostly want this for large files, thus mostly photographs, thus JPEG :).

I would argue that progressive JPEGs are more "graceful" than spinning gifs.

That actually reminds me of the image preloaders we had in the late 90s/early 00s with JS ;-)
First it's the USAF pilots that have "creative imagination" when it comes to UFO sightings, then it's the US Navy physicists who don't know what they're doing... man, you armchair nihilists sure get uncomfortable when the boundaries of your assumed reality become visible.
To be clear, it's "a" runtime, not the runtime. It's the most popular one, but there's others as well, and some focus on embedded and binary size.
What R&D does slack do to the tune of hundreds of millions per year?!? What G&A is over a hundred million a year? Do you use Slack?

Yes, they have a boatload of fat to trim. They can pull an Etsy move but is that not already baked into their valuation? I, frankly, don't care enough to look as I won't be investing. I just cannot believe their VC investors let them get that bloated - it's probably why they're pushing for an exit so fast. I also am not convinced Slack is very sticky. We switched to Mattermost last week and miss nothing about Slack.

Moreover, as I said in another comment: If there is all this money left to be made, why are their investors pushing them to go public? They should be riding that gravy train privately and cashing out a few years from now for 10x more...
Some people like that sort of thing. Mostly the "academic" types. The memorizers. There are people who got through their higher education by using memory instead of wit. I know some of those people, I went to school with some of them, they were always studying and ramming as much "data" into their brains as possible... while I was getting through with minimum of effort by just coding a lot and trying to think about things in my own way.

The memorizers in this industry often get jobs higher up the tree and therefore they are highly represented in the hiring practices.

Anyways, I completely agree with you. In my opinion it is essential to KNOW that you DON'T KNOW (i.e. you don't remember how exactly an RB tree works, you just know there is such a thing). Everything else is just a quick Google session away.
Which, in this context, is...kind of the point?
At appropriate saturation the number of cars being displaced by riders is significant, though I wonder what that is and how it trends over time.

If I was in college today, I might never consider buying a vehicle.
The way I see, to care for vacant property, you need police, roads, and a ton of infrastructure. This is also needed for property that is used.

A non-vacant used property will provide a city with money in the form of sales taxes, jobs, growth, fees and in general prosperity. A town with a ton of small independently owned shops and restaurants (a side effect of forcing property on the market) is more attractive than one with strip malls filled with franchises. It will make people want to live there and drive prices up.

Why should a vacant property pay the same tax? It's taking up the same and paying less, in fact, in many cases, the vacant property is pulling down the value of the city. It's only fair for the vacant property owner to have to pay to blight his community. Such an arrangement is dealing with externalized costs, which is one of the best functions of government.
Self-Driving: Reasons It Pays to Have an Internal Offensive Security Team Early
I don't understand this logic. SpaceX's bread-and-butter is building technology and setting up processes to lower launch costs to hilariously low levels.

> Those thousands of sats will also need to be replaced as quickly as 10-15% per year, unless they are going to get their own propulsion systems, seriously multiplying their cost of launch/operation.

Multiplying by.....10%? I think they would laugh off those costs and easily pay for that with the huge margin they are likely to be eyeing.

> Take a look at the difficulties in setting up downlink stations at a global scale. To facilitate the dreamed bandwidth the number of hops between satellites will have to be as low as possible. Hundreds of large base stations will be needed. New land must be purchased, new laws passed, and old laws abolished.

Can you cite this? What new laws must be passed and what old laws abolished? Also,

> Unless spaceX intends to have Musk elected to the presidencies of many nations, the regulatory hurdles alone will take decades.

This is hyperbole and clearly not true. Countries make deals with businesses all the time, especially when the business is likely to bring opportunity and money into the country. I have a hard time imagining a world where leaders and countries are anti-SpaceX to the point of stalling negotiations until Elon is 75 years old and already lives on Mars.

Lastly, citing unknown video game nerds and believing their interpretations over the CEO of a public company (yes I'll count Tesla here, it speak to his dedication of running global-scale changing companies) and the specifications of a private company with ~10,000 employees? It just seems less likely to be true that video game nerds know best here.
> of course they do. They are in business to make money, after all.

Companies can fulfill their obligations without resorting to trickery. They clearly aren't meeting the spirit of their obligation/commitment and therefore should be punished. So, the government should punish these companies by implementing your second point. If it wasn't clear previously then the industry behavior has now made it obvious they act in bad faith, and are a detriment to both consumers and society in general.
In fact the market is likely large enough that multiple large companies will.
And that is without stripping
Pooling is a nice cost saving innovation.
Assuming you're genuine: China, since 1997!

It was really the last remnant of the British Empire according to historians. Some of the Hong Kong population (younger especially) wants to be an independent state, but China wants to integrate it, and is slowly sapping it of its famous liberal policies and freedoms.
NYC was already the largest US city before the eerie canal was completed. It wasn't the eerie canal that made NYC, the eerie canal was created because NYC was the most important city in the US. Whereas the article's point was that the rivers ( like shanghai ) and its access to the hinterlands is what drove the development of shanghai. The complete opposite is the case for NYC.

Also, do you know which river the the great lakes feed into? The mississippi river which bisects the land with the most arable land on earth. The missouri river also cuts through much of the continental US. The hudson river doesn't. I've lived along the hudson river pretty much all my life, so you can take my word on this.

If you think the thames or the hudson river is anywhere comparable to the yangtze, mississippi or the missouri, I suggest you take another look at what these rivers are. The hudson barely spans a few hundred miles in length. The yangtze, missouri and mississipi span a few thousand miles deep into the hinterlands of china and the US respectively. Compared to the mississipi or the yantze or the missouri, the hudson river is a stream.
Seems like all the automation, in fact computer systems in general, works because humans are still smarter than the automation and systems.

This is not the only argument that color films were developed in a way that excluded people of color[1]. I'm not an expert.

You're correct that the film ecosystem of photography was not developed with resolution in mind. I was thinking of the way in which digital sensors capture the most bit depth in the upper tones [2]. This would likely not have been pursued if test targets had subjects with darker skin colors than their surroundings.

Yes, I agree, I don't understand why modern languages don't make references immutable by default. The best I've seen is symmetry between val and var. Talking about safe defaults, I remember being very disappointed when Jetbrains changed the default scope in Kotlin to be public....

UBER won't be a monopoly. But UBER and Lyft could offer lower costs than taxis, because of cheap labor, no medalions, and less empty rides they could offer their drivers.

So it's basically a UBER/Lyft duopoly, after the growing phase. And Duopolies are good businesses to be in.
How can you seriously argue you have no network effects when Gmail has repeatedly added (to be fair, somewhat useful) features that basically only work on Gmail, like AMP emails or expiring/deletable emails? Sure, other vendors could go out of their way to reimplement AMP and shove it into email but really?
When we lived there, a very large drainage canal ran along our property. Certainly needed it for summer rainstorms. Never occurred to me that it could be carrying dangerous toxins too.
Pretty much every job? I'd say about 10%. With all the web and web-adjacent jobs around, maybe even less. Most stdlibs are already written in a sensible way, so calling "sort" usually means calling quicksort. Most people just do not care, they have tickets and bosses to worry about.
I’d love to see - and I didn’t check the S-1 so lazyweb me - their lifetime value estimation. I bet that $400M is worth > $5B billions over the lifetime of all customer cohorts.
More than one company is working on driverless cars. Either most of the patents will be easy to work around by some other approach, or several companies will each hold some of the needed patents and all will license from each other - it might stop someone new from getting in but it won't stop everyone already in. I would expect some combination of both.
My guess is that Tesla is not buying enough batteries to make it profitable for Panasonic. They can endure losses for so long before bailing.

No, PNaCl didn't use V8. It used an elaborate set of llvm changes that had problems and couldn't be upstreamed.

A big part of wasm's pitch is that it reuses JS engine infrastructure (less new engineering, less attack surface), but that means it's intrinsically more limited. No mmap, etc.

The V8 people didn't want to support heap growth at all (it made some part of the JIT harder) but eventually were convinced. Imagine having to pre-allocate 512mb or more of heap for every little app you deploy. (asm.js already had this limitation for the same reason)
Haha I never revealed how much I think this happens, I just stated what the theoretical solution to this problem is.
I'm prepared to believe this. But it's not a defense of gmail's policies -- this suggests that in fact nothing would be lost if gmail eliminated the spam folder and delivered everything that would have gone there to your inbox instead. So why are they doing this?

A Xiaomi Redmi Note 5, a bunch of Motorola Defy/Defy+ devices, a RK3066 'Cherry' tablet and some other random devices. The Redmi Note 5 runs LineageOS (nougat), the Defy(+) Cyanogenmod (kitkat), the tablet also Cyanogenmod. I use the Redmi Note 5 and a Defy+ as my main devices, the Defy when I'm doing 'dangerous' stuff as it is less vulnerable and smaller than the Redmi. The tablet is hardly used at all.
if I build a self driving car why would I see or lease it? I would go for the monopoly you painted. I truly believe this is Elon's dream.

Based on Q1, the problem is not production, but demand. Tesla's inventory is growing, which probably means they are having trouble selling cars they build.

Yes, but my point was that we're only arguing about how much someone should have to spend to gain access.

But my point, _again_, is that they were _not_ clear that you have some expectation of privacy after _selling your personal data on an exchange_.
You aren’t wrong. But keep in mind that these are all recurring revenue deals. The $400M is highly likely to recur next year or even increase - even if they don’t close a single additional customer.

SaaS companies talk about “lifetime value” which is a fancy name for the net present value of future cash flow from each customer. What if today’s $400M will recur for ten years? That warrants a value of $4B just on today’s customers. But if the growth can be sustained for a few more years, maybe by 2022 they’ll hit $1.5B/yr... that’s the gamble investors seem ready to take.
