Thanks for pivoting the thread to criticism of the US. These stories about controversies in non-US countries are unwelcome and cause a lot of anxiety, and the sooner the discussion can be refocused on the deficiencies of the US the better.

Schmidt's involvement with US's politics is strange, especially for the business leader: he met with Assange, he went to North Korea.

There was a hilarious moment at the company meeting when rank-and-file learned from the news that Eric and Larry met with Trump. Somebody demanded explanation, as if it is something strange that business leaders meet with the president. Sundar mumbled something like "yes, I didn't know they are going to meet, but this was a single meeting and many business leaders attended...". Eric rushed on stage and said "To clarify: I met with President Trump more than once, bla bla".

that's sorta the thinking that makes me take issue from the phrase 'from scratch'.

it's a nice project, but in my vocabulary 'from scratch' doesn't mean "after an initial engineering and design phase i'll order a host of parts from a company', it means 'i'd better start wrapping memory cores, let me get the copper wire out.'

So? Whataboutism isn't a strong case. There are also FAR fewer Teslas out there than there are iPhones and iPads.
Why should all these devices end up in a landfill just because Apple decided it's in their best interests to design them as disposable, consumerist toys? Since when is servicing your own hardware a "feature" and not simply a right you gained at point of purchase? It's not just phones, it extends to all Apple hardware when they decided to solder components, maintain a component whitelist, etc - now only those with hardware-level knowledge can fix and swap out parts and Apple is encroaching on that too.

Likewise and related, why should perfectly fine hardware deprecate artificially just because Apple decides to lock their hardware down preventing third-party software installation?

It's unsustainable and an abhorrent corporate practice, IMO.
I've heard a lot of devs have very negative comments about Now 2, but have never delved into specifics. Apparently it's way worse than 1. Anyone here has any idea what, exactly, is wrong with it, and whether it's really bad?
Schmidt is a defense establishment insider, since, at least, his time at Sun. Having just finished Trillion Dollar Coach I can reaffirm that I am no fan of Schmidt as pop business book guy. But he's less wrong than Assange.
I agree, and I support the EFF in part because of this sort of thing. That change takes time, though, and in the meantime I'm still going to protect myself.
Wikipedia is a great resource, but it's also one of those success stories that owes as much to the incompetence of its competitors as it does to its own merit. I've often thought it would be interesting to create a "Wrapipedia" of sorts, basically a copy of the Wiki codebase that could be used to circumvent Wikipedia's often-nonsensical notability and deletion rules.

Basically, instead of going to wikipedia.org to look up something, you'd go to wrapipedia.org, which would issue the query on your behalf and supply its own page if the Wikipedia lookup fails. Wikipedia pages that were created by users but subsequently deleted by editors would essentially be treated as pure virtual functions to be implemented by wrapper classes. As with Wikipedia itself, users could create new entries and edit existing ones.

That way the original Wikipedia project could remain true to its charter without leaving its users frustrated or unsatisfied. Its editors would also appreciate an alternative to being insulted and browbeaten by annoyed users, I'm sure.
Fascinating analogy, but you're being intriguingly vague. Come on, be honest, take your comparison one step further, a little faster and looser, and tell us what you REALLY think: do you believe Eric Schmidt is more like a Vim user or an Emacs user? And which text editor would Bismarck have used? ;)
> I doesn't really interfere with most of that because most people don't have (and never will have) the capability to apply themselves to such a scenario.

But they can hire someone who does. Car maintenance is a pretty much perfect analogy. So it does affect everyone, even the least technically inclined.

> Question -- why does this matter to me?

If you don't trade cryptocurrency and aren't invested in the market day to day, it very likely doesn't matter.

> As long as it facilitates short-term transactions and people are agreeable to trading it at 1 USD

Right now this is the case because the US AG announcements have not fundamentally changed the day to day use of the token, as you stated.

However, as the lawsuit moves forward, the probabilities of Bitfinex having to shut down due to bankruptcy or criminal liability, and the probability that the Tether blockchain has to be shut down, are going to change and may possibly increase.

The likelihood of these events occurring will cause the Tether premium to change accordingly, and as it increases, more and more market participants are going to cease to use it in favor of more reliable stablecoins.

The problem is that it's impossible to predict what the catalyst for these events will be, and it's up to individual traders to determine whether or not they think the day they're holding Tether is going to be the day something happens to cause the market to lose confidence in it.
> might be going on in that person's head.

Which is still much better than none at all. It's another perspective, which as fictitious as you make it, is still different than what most people think right now and push them further toward trying to understands depression.

I have a feeling that it's more than what "they think might be going on" and contains actual research toward how a suicidal people think, but I have no source for it.
Not always. “With Cause” is defined in employment contracts quite a bit more broadly than just misconduct in all its forms. For example, my most recent contract had terms about the company hypothetically requiring relocation and I refusing as being “With Cause,” as well as things like not complying with internal rules, procedures, or org charts. Basically any reason for letting me go due to a choice I made. “Misconduct” on the other hand requires material detriment, aka me screwing over the company financially.

“With Cause” is about you being qualified for severance pay. “Misconduct” is about you causing trouble through intent or severe negligence.
Bitfinex money was on an account of a small Polish bank. It was confiscated by a US government when they chased Colombian drug cartels earlier in 2018. There was no proper segregation of client funds by their payment processor Crypto Capital Corp. Looks like Tether was collateral damage.

Reddit is nothing like old plain forums.

What defines Reddit is it's ranking algorithm, it's tree-shaped threads, and it's subreddits.

Which are not akin to subforums. Biggest difference being that anybody can very easily create a subreddit and moderate it.

The only "easy" way to support hot reload in JVM is using java agent. But it can only reload method body, so it's extremely limited tool. That's how IDE usually work. You can sell your house and buy JRebel license, but if you don't have house to sell, you're out of luck. You can try some experimental alternative JVM implementations (DCEVM) which might or might not work.

May be your framework is just restarting automatically very fast. That's not a hot reload, though.
Jude from Golden here. Agreed that WP is one of the most amazing things ever built and interesting to see your various lenses on our mission.

To the cynical self: see dropbox launch on HN back in the day. PS I’m no way claiming we are dropbox :>

To the angry self: There are various constraints that we want to release ourselves from in working on this problem by starting fresh. We believe the constraint space is too high to not build something new here. There are things that can be reused to build on what has been done already (linking out to WP, WP linking back to us when appropriate, the name space being similar/forked, various policies being built on/forked or rewritten, lessons learnt, content summarization with AI, fact cross checking etc).

To the academic self: we want to cover 10bn+ topics, google knowledge graph is around 3bn+ entities. We are not attempting to map all lamp posts in san francisco which would make a useful data set for a self driving car company but we do want to map all businesses, concepts, science topics, people of interest, species, products, services, etc etc. Instead of notability, we are aiming more at a validation model ie ‘does this entity exist’. There is also a difference between ‘article’ of WP and ‘entity’ of Golden for our model. So I believe there is space for positive coexistence between Golden and WP. We will still want discussion around the validation and ‘what next after 10bn entities are done’ debate.

In terms of the morality part, we wish to be at a more open standard than WP. The trade being for the common user: we open up all the pages on CC-4.0-BY-SA, go hopefully 1000x more entity cardinality, open source useful queries in exchange for less work per topic than alternatives (due to the leverage of the automation on alternatives). So I think we are on strong moral ground here, otherwise I would not work on it. We also have paid helpers as well to fill in gaps on our side to increase content and using part of our revenue to increase content at an ever faster speed. We reviewed the micropayments model and we don’t think it will work (see lunyr failure and others on that front).

I agree with your second paragraph. The Librem 5 isn't just a "Linux phone", and Purism is trying to build an ecosystem with strong expectations of privacy and end-user control, which is something we don't have today.

If all you want is a "Linux phone", you could buy a PinePhone for $150 or work on porting postmarketOS to an Android phone. The Librem 5 clearly has higher ambitions and could prove to be a more mass-market product.
We do, but in other countries.
I think the course of this is that much like the border separation policy, they want the circuits to disagree on the interpretation, and the Supreme Court to get involved. Of course, "someone" could pass a law to clarify the issue.

> Probably because they only care about revenue and profits these days, not innovation and products

Apple seems, to me at least, to have more conviction that innovation and fantastic products lead to revenue and profits than any company operating in the consumer hardware space today. And there are plenty of comparatively awesome companies who innovate and invest in breakthrough products (Google, Tesla… Microsoft(!)).

They likely no longer split out those product categories for several reasons:

1. Their financial results are news in the mainstream media, and their customers read the mainstream media. If the ASP of an iPhone rises to $1,000 and grows revenue whilst offsetting a contraction in unit sales, it's great news for Apple and its investors, and likely not a sign of anything other than a maturing market -- but it won't be reported as anything other than stagnation or doom and gloom by the mainstream media.

2. Apple's future, and maybe the future, is not in one-off transactions. We've seen most professional and a lot of consumer software move towards subscription pricing steadily over the last decade. Hardware is going to go the same way, and Apple is preparing for that. Persuading people to stay in their ecosystem (NB not "locking people in" -- it's pretty easy to "leave" the Apple ecosystem) is going to be a combination of hardware, software, and services, and customers will be paying some sort of blended subscription which includes hardware and software. It's predictable, steady revenue for them, and it obviates the need for stupid "how many units did you ship hurr durr" conversations.

Moonshots are supposed to be high-risk speculative projects. Failure is the most likely outcome. You cannot expect good people to take a chance working on moonshots if they will be punished when they fail.
Based on the after hours results, it looks like this might push them just over a market cap of 1 trillion again, which if I'm not mistaken would make them the only company currently over $1T.

Edit: Apparently MSFT closed at exactly $1T today, so tomorrow shall be interesting.
Pandas isn't the problem, the problem is assuming that "$LIBRARY releases the GIL so things will be fast!". It's a pennywise, pound-foolish approach to performance. Someone will write a function assuming the user is only going to pass in a list of ints and someone else will extend that function to take a list of Tuple[str, int] or something and all of a sudden your program has a difficult to debug performance regression.

In general, the "just rewrite the slow parts in C!" motto is terrible advice because it's unlikely that it will actually make your code appreciably slower, and if it does, it's very likely to be defeated unexpectedly as soon as requirements change. Using FFI to make things faster can work, but only if you've really considered your problem and you're quite sure you can safely predict relevant changes to requirements.
That sounds like sematics.
What would happen if the US Government stepped in and took over Tether? Would it be feasible for a different foreign government to do so?
If "serverless" is referring to AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, etc. then cost and scalability make it a great idea for some applications. If load varies by time, and there are surges and troughs, then running servers can cost more and potentially be less responsive to changing demand. Its a nice way to take load off a web server.
Google seems to be falling flat on its face growth-wise. Its ad revenue is down, its Pixel 3 platform fell completely flat, it shuttered Google + and had a security breach?

How can you have a large scale security breach with a brutal tech hiring process, sky high salaries and a whitepaper-producing workforce? Hell, when you interview at much smaller firms, the tech groups copycat the Google hiring techniques, that's the extent of the influence. Google is a reference implementation that everyone copycats.

Then is the Pixel 3's lack of creative innovation symbolic of a strong tech culture that seems to prize science and tech over creativity? For reference, they copied the iPhone in numerous ways aesthetically and marketing-wise: the size is identical, glass replaced metal, the price was pumped up to make it appear premium, even the color names have goofy Apple-y names, etc.
ah yeah I haven't found anything. Still a cool idea, however I'd imagine you'd have issues with data loss.
Why don't you try to make one? No, I'm not being sarcastic. The reasons you don't want to try are most likely the same reasons why some non-techie people will not be able to.

It's not just about phpbb. My guess is the biggest stumbling block for most people would be domain management. It's hard to say for sure after being immersed in IT for so long. Also, the wast majority of non-tech people I know have no idea what PHPbb even is. So they would have to learn about its existence first.

Mind you, I'm talking about a forum you would own, so services like Proboards or Craigslist are out of scope of the discussion.
I said:

>Why should Apple own the repair aspect?

And received a response:

>But they are [sic] not

Whether or not you can work around Apple not shipping parts is irrelevant. They are actively trying to make it harder to source parts and fix your devices.
Insisting on evidence that proves a negative claim is an impossible standard. In the absence of evidence one can assume that a statement is anecdotal, especially when information like location and timeframe are not included.
It’s important to introduce it early enough that it’s still feasible to introduce it. Otherwise the architecture of the code will get in the way—defining classes deep within module hierarchies for objects that get returned up is painful.
Hard lesson learned from a couple of research projects within Google and then again from my first couple years as an entrepreneur:

Internal research is useless.

The only way to know whether a new idea will work is to try it: put some minimal form of it in front of people and see if they actually get use it. People are complex; sometimes they do things that all rational thought says they shouldn't (buying Bitcoin and investing in ICOs would both fit into that category, IMHO), and many times they don't do things that all rational analysis says they should (I participated in research projects while at Google for both micropayments for content and for labeling trustworthy sources on the results, both of which most people would agree are good goals but neither of which has ever worked, and I founded a startup afterwards to provide career guidance to undergrads, which every adult we talked to said "I love what you're doing, and totally wish that existed when I was a student" and every student said "I love that idea and would totally use it", and then promptly never looked at it again once we built it.)

There's no guarantee that external research works either, but at least you've learned something applicable to the next idea.
Well Patreon is proving to be somewhat successful, I don't see why something similar, or donation/tipping shouldn't be easy to incorporate.
Better than shipping is buying new devices after arrival. Ideally for cash. And restoring from online backups. End-to-end encrypted, of course. You can Shamir split the decryption key or passphrase, and put pieces in pastes.
Technically, quartz piezoelectric-movements do vibrate.

Equally technically, non-functional mechanical-movement watches from before piezoelectric-movement are also easy to find in garbage heaps and bankrupted watch-repair shops, and the "perfect working condition" of the functional ones are possibly a result of Ship-of-Theseus-style maintenance. Note that mechanical timepiece repair is a somewhat less viable business than it once was, and able to support only a tiny fraction of workers as it once did.

Quartz watches have fewer individual repair parts available, because the typical repairs are to replace the battery and to replace the entire movement. Now, it is reasonable to consider the repair part for a broken quartz watch to be a newly-manufactured watch, and the repair procedure is to remove the broken watch from your wrist and replace it with the working new one.

Mechanical watches are certainly useless when removed from Earth, whereas electronic timepieces may be reprogrammed to display the numbers of a different timekeeping convention.

Schmidt is like Bloomberg. They aspired to geopolitical power as their ambition exceeded what was available in the business world. Bloomberg had the weird twist of trying to buy his way into British royalty, while Schmidt wants to be "in the room where it happens" from USA to North Korea.

Hey, don't worry to much about your accent. I am Québécois and French is my first language. I can speak English very well apart from that terrible accent... I used to work at a place where we had daily calls with the office in California and most of the engineers there where Indian people speaking English. It probably took me 2-3 months before I could understand a single sentence on the conf. call. Their accents were just that bad (to me).

All that to say, don't be shy of your accent. Personally, I am simply happy when people make an effort to learn my language. I'll listen patiently if they stumble on words, I'll help where I can, etc. As long as they are also patient with my own horrible accent :)

A couple of questions:

1. What are those representations?

2. Also what is "biological function"?

3. What kind of information does the learned representation extract that is not already in the "biological properties" it is trained to map to?
Complete aside: all of my friends/acquaintances who work for Google (and in full disclosure, they're generally not engineers) unequivocally agree that Google could fire 30% of their workforce with no disruption in service/revenue.

MSFT closed at exactly 1T to two decimal places today, and is up slightly in after-hours trading, but this would be the first time we’ve had two 1T companies at the same time.
Well, the signal escapes but would be very hard to pick out and very weak. You'd probably have to have something like a better version of the radio telescope they used to get a black hole image. It's hard to say it would be impossible though.
Jesus, arguably, could have chosen not to die for humanits sins or whatever. If his choice to die for our sins was indeed a choice, is it not noble suicide? Or is it meaningless other than his suvvering because he is immortal as well?

Socrates chose to stick to 'the truth' and be found guilty rather than argue his way out disingenously. Another arguably suicidal martyrs death.

Is suicide by cop suicide might be the better question in both cases.
