Is there anything of traceability in Golden? In the past years, I have been documenting the works, exhibitions, and documents about a Dutch artists. While doing this, I have often come across conflicting information. I have discovered that what I actually need is a reasoning system about statements and have a mechanism for traceability with respect to every fact represented.
You need network sniffer and pattern recognition. Otherwise basically you hope some of the unusual activities will affect ids/ips (or touch internet). However if it is normal account you need some sort of intelligence to recognise and alert.

Not many software can do this.
It's a common tactic to hijack innocent looking language, use it internally, and then as soon as someone notices and says "hey be careful about people using the milk and frog emoji on twitter" they get suckers like you in.

I don't necessarily want them to buy Netflix but I feel that they could have invested a lot of this money they are returning to shareholders via share buyback into funding to make more content. Netflix is going to spend $10-15 billion this year to make original shows and movies vs just $1 billion for Apple. So if Apple wants to go all-in on services business then they need to spend like one.
As soon as PV is cheap enough, lots of fleets will convert to liquid anhydrous ammonia. Sure it's different than petrol/diesel, but it's already in wide use as a fertilizer and no technological breakthroughs are required to get it burning in ICEs. It's not yet economical but if PV keeps getting cheaper it will be. So it seems like the effort described in TFA is barking up the wrong tree?

Nothing wrong with that when it got them to a trillion dollar valuation. And Google Cloud has the potential to be even bigger than their entire ad business.
Any carbon capture technology, will require infrastructure and components (which release carbon during manufacture), and use energy (no emissions if using renewable fuel). Any analysis ought to take the cumulative total of all the emissions produced during the lifetime of the product vs. the carbon captured.

Nature has already given us the most efficient, cheap form of carbon capture. Trees.

I hope there will be startups that extract and make fuel / energy from plants.

Don’t like to defend tether in these posts, there’s clearly shady shit going on, but it’s been FUD’ed against for years now and yet USDT has kept within few percent of USD. I still don’t buy the argument that bitfinex is printing money to prop up BTC.
This article has nothing to do with carbon recapture. The gasoline produced from carbon is then intended for burn...

This is simply an alternative electricity/power storage mechanism. But great to reduce emissions but is not intended for negative emissions (for which there is other tech)

This section describes the changes made between S/MIME v3.2 and
S/MIME v4.0.

- Added the use of AuthEnvelopedData, including defining and
registering an smime-type value (Sections 2.4.4 and 3.4).

- Updated the content-encryption algorithms (Sections 2.7 and
2.7.1.2): added AES-256 Galois/Counter Mode (GCM), added
ChaCha20-Poly1305, removed mention of AES-192 Cipher Block
Chaining (CBC), and marked tripleDES as historic.

- Updated the set of signature algorithms (Section 2.2): added the
Edwards-curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA), added the
Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), and marked DSA
as historic.

- Updated the set of digest algorithms (Section 2.1): added SHA-512,
and marked SHA-1 as historic.

- Updated the size of keys to be used for RSA encryption and RSA
signing (Section 4).

- Created Appendix B, which discusses considerations for dealing
with historic email messages.
Replace, as far as practicable, with fast trains and maybe Hyperloops.
IMO, the optimal self-serving but long-term-benevolent tech pioneer should go the Bill Gates route -- after a significant disruption, invest in moats during a medium length career(20-30 years), and then divest from the industry and pursue philanthropy. Microsoft's moats have been opened up and now allow many other players to disrupt in their former core industries, and Bill doesn't care anymore

Today's tech are the dark ages of tech moats, because it's also the golden age of internet and technology innovation -- but anyone building anything promising gets gobbled up by the same 4-5 FAANG+ giants. I worry that these tech moats will not go away even when their founders transition with billions of dollars in the bank, leaving the next generation of creators to have to expend half their energy filling these moats before they can disrupt anything.

This is absolutely fantastic. I'd been distraught by Wikipedia policy of "notability" and deleting valuable articles that volunteers created by pouring several hours. I firmly believe that no knowledge, no human is small enough not to be "notable". I also like increased focus on tooling which Wikipedia has failed to deliver in all these years. I think Wikipedia was good start as trying to emulate encyclopedias of 18th century but in new age we need to move on to AI-first knowledge graph that can have billions of nodes where each node in the graph could be anything from some human to some object in my backyard to entire textbook.

There would obviously the question of how do you prevent misinformation and falsehood. If you want to scale to billions of nodes, moderators aren't going to cut it. One possibility is leveraging community and what I'd call chain of trust. For example, community can flag, upvote, downvote. This doesn't result in deletion but simply a signal to the reader about how trustworthy content this may be. The chain of trust mechanism can improve this further by inferring contributors that users have trusted previously. The StackOverflow like gamification for contributors can create wonders here. In addition, you can allowing users to create their social network so they can build their personal chain of trust. Another possibility is to put untrusted articles in draft domain and move them to main domain as trust level is increased. The key is to avoid deletion of content and retain it somehow so it can be improved and evolved.

Now the things I don't like about Golden:

When signing up, it forces bio to 140 chars. Why? Why not collect more knowledge about authors? Not artificially limiting information should be the point here, right?

I also find current interface very cluttered and unfriendly. After signup I was greeted with topic of blockchain and cell based meat occupying most of my screen real estate. I don't care about either and half-visible conversations under each topic does not help. How about asking me what I'm expert in? What are my interest? Add some algo magic to recommend topics for contribution?

I also don't like UX at all. For example, this is page on Bitcoin: https://golden.com/wiki/Bitcoin. The menu that suddenly breaks after quick intro hurts my eyes. The typography is straigning. The left menu just hard to grasp. On page for cluster, you get giant list of contributors on right which I care less. You can say whatever about Wikipedia but they got all these stuff right.
> The most conservative scientific estimate that the Earth’s temperature will rise 1 to 7 degrees in the next 30 years, said Brown."

This quote seems suspicious. The only place I see it is in this AP article, as a quote from this one person, and from a bunch of denialist websites that link to this article. I couldn't find any original source for the number (or any indication whether it is Fahrenheit or Centigrade, which of course makes a large difference.)

If the quote was from 1989 then it was presumably referring to the IPCC report of that year, for which Wikipedia quotes:

under [BAU] increase of global mean temperature during the [21st] century of about 0.3 oC per decade (with an uncertainty range of 0.2 to 0.5 oC per decade);

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPCC_First_Assessment_Report

which would be 0.6 to 1.5C over 30 years, or roughly 1F-3F. So the 7 degrees seems to be nothing to do with the IPCC report, and it is unclear where it comes from (or even what unit it has, but since he is from NY it seems plausible that it is F rather than C). Perhaps he was misquoted? Or he was quoting extreme outer bounds of the probability distribution. Building a case of inaccuracy on one poorly attributed number seems excessive.

In reality, temperature trends have tracked IPCC predictions remarkably closely, and that fact is far more significant than a single poorly attributed quote.
I strongly believe there are better ways to achieve success that do not come at such a complete loss of ethical/moral standards.

I've found the less intelligent someone is, the more likely they are to act this way. Perhaps an evolutionary defense mechanism. Lacking the ability to really process things at a 2nd/3rd Order level of thought perhaps frees them of the guilt that would result from doing such a thing?
Terms of service should not imply consent to a transaction: that is inherently a dishonest and exploitative method of running a business.

Also, the idea of paying to use a free service is an oxymoron. Google is not and has never been free, it is ad supported, and it has ruined the internet by normalizing this behavior.
> The only justification for such design I can think of is HA.

I'm not trying to justify any particular design. I'm just saying that concurrency and distributed processing are different things. And I'm no expert, but I continue to be confused as to what saturation, whether of cpu or i/o - you don't specify - has to do with concurrency? If I have for example n http servers all running one thread and handling enough traffic that they are all at 100 percent CPU that is by some minimal definition a distributed system, but none of the processes in it are concurrent. If the http servers read and write a database then the database is almost certainly concurrent, so then you have a distributed system that has both concurrent and non-concurrent processes collaborating.

Ah, yes, so if you are a victim of a violent crime (let's say, someone mugged you at gunpoint, but did not bruise you - just held you at gunpoint until you surrendered your wallet), it seems perfectly reasonable for the police to hold your phone for weeks or months, searching through all of your photos (including the occasional nude photo of your spouse), in order to MAYBE find that one of your contacts might be a culprit of the theft?

Maybe you delete the nude photos (you are really not comfortable with other people getting to see your naked spouse), but police notice you deleted some photos. How do they not know those aren't evidence of your mugger? They tell you the case is invalid, since deleting photos seems suspicious.

Does not seem fair enough to me.

The incidence of false accusation of rape is fairly low - depending on the statistic you find and country, either less than or roughly at parity with accusation of other crimes - between 2 and 10 percent [1]. Remember that the reporting of rape or sexual assault is low, compared to other crimes - I personally know several women who regularly sport bruises from their abusive partner, but who refuse to turn them in (and I am in no position to turn them in - the choice is entirely up to the victim and will backfire in my losing any ability to help them in the future, if I do).

The cases of false rape accusations, however, tend to be highly visible, since they are often made by a desperate woman seeking to profit off a rich celebrity. Meanwhile, just like car accidents, the media tends to report only the most gruesome crashes/rapes, since this is an event that happens so often that reporting it every time is not newsworthy.

Another variation on this is the opening titles to "Bob's Burgers".

I know several people with letters before and after their names with impressive sounding job titles who are pretty clueless about what they actually want out of life and how to be happy.

The elephant in the room is that the iphone revenues are down because volumes are down because the price is to high for the iphone X (and not compensating for the reduced volumes). All the other revenue is upselling to people who own iphones. They are doing really well with that. Nevertheless the iphone doing poorly is bad news long term for Apple because it shrinks that market. Long term, their strategy of growing sevice business is tied to keeping people inside the apple ecosystem. Short term it's not an issue because there are lots of people hanging onto their old iphones.

I think it's a fixable problem to come up with a cheaper/more attractive product than the current iphone. Simply dropping the price might do the trick for a lot of people. In the same way the keyboard situation is a fixable problem that might improve their fortunes on the laptop front.
> they may not be able to pay cash for all withdrawals because that cash would be tied up in loans

How is that “assets”? Loan can be defaulted on and where bank has $X in the books it’s actually $0.

The non-bankrupt case for tether looks like this: people realize tether isn’t worth $1, but they still need to get rid of it and so they sell for $.74c, that’s the risk they took buying tether in the first place.

Mark Zuckerberg is a fabulously wealthy and by all accounts intelligent individual, but many actions like using failed login attempts to access people's email accounts [1] certainly suggest "a complete loss of ethical/moral standards". While mediocre success may be possible, history is riddled with examples of success coming by compromising ethics and morals.

We do that here too. Think of when people bring up the phrase "if it's free then you are the product." The first few times it's seen by people, they think that's a great way to describe what they're seeing, and it spreads like wildfire. Now it's to the point I groan when I inevitably see it during a discussion.

Considering how these things usually get booked, on need with some leeway for emergencies, a week is the same as now. I am certain the "I'm in the hospital an need an MRI" waiting time is the same day and emergencies now. Your non urgent MRI is just not important enough so get planned far ahead to create a good average load.
These things happen all the time in real world free unregulated markets. The seller looks at you, tries to understand how much you can afford and what are your alternatives right then, and to get the highest price possible.

If you are desperate and your life is at risk, they can literally strip you naked - just see how many unscrupulous people become rich during wars.

When you are in a medical emergency, and you need a treatment right there and right then - no time to shop around - why should an unregulated, shareholder value maximising business, not extract from you as much as you can afford?

I do Maven for Java and JVM languages, Gradle only because Google forces me to on Android, for better or worse CMake has won for C++ and MSBuild for .NET languages.

I am yet to see what Bazel does better, beyond faster Android builds, which is quite easy given Gradle and how Android team implements their plugins.
I use Emacs/Evil for hobby programming and vi for quick edits on servers. Wish I had this guide years ago. Incredibly helpful. :)
You are making the claim so you need to show the evidence (especially since it contradicts accepted scientific consensus). Don't be lazy and force other people to do your work for you as you won't have a chance in hell of convincing anyone that way.

What you've linked so far shows that the sea ice level of the past 5 years is well below even 2 standard deviations under the average, which contradicts your claim. Not sure what you were trying to prove by posting that link.

I loved my first timex. I lost it in a swimming pool in Les Eyzes, in france in the early 1970s. It lost 10min a month minimum and I had a NATO watch strap which stank of stale boy sweat.

I bought a replacement in the 1980s. It was fantastic. It was identical, lost the same ten minutes a month, had the same sweaty stank on the NATO strap. I lost it in a swimming pool in Swiss Cottage London.

I bought the Timex Watch Will Farrell wears in the film, the ironman. It was fantastic. Somehow, I haven't managed to lose it in a swimming pool. Unfortunately, indiglo kind-of sucks, and it lost its alarm function, and I had to move to another watch

(I went J Springs, and I love it and it loses 10 minutes a month...)
Good riddance. I won't miss him.
Hey yeah thanks, it's really difficult to know where to start and how much to cover in an article like this.

I think I agree now that the title isn't quite right—my intention was to help beginners get towards some intermediate topics.
There are some local fluctuations, but at far north suburbs of Chicago, where I used to live, I could get non-emergency scan the same or the next day. Bear in mind that oversupply produces overuse. Often times, the doctor ordering a scan is a direct or indirect investor in medical imaging facility. So waiting time alone may not be the best measure. Some patients wait for the scan they don't need.
They are destroying the environment on which we depend. They are also finite.

To further point out the obvious.

I'm also not a big fan of the term "serverless" within this context either, however I don't think it's entirely fair to blame the Zeit team for following along with the rest of the industry. All the big tech companies use the term, which forces smaller players that wish to compete in the same space to use it as well.
It sure feels that way to me.

Lack of privacy also isn’t: a huge amount of page traffic and latency is tracking and tracker driven advertising.
It’s also a thousand million dollars. That’s between 500 and 1000 mortgages in SF or NY. Any direct lender would love that opportunity; they’ll charge 4-5% on a 30-yr fixed and give you half.
For cars, sure. But there are applications where being able to carry around buckets of energy is very helpful. It's particularly important if you need to supply power to somewhere that doesn't have power lines; carrying batteries around is likely to be difficult, and they can be easily damaged. Emergency generators in a crisis area might need to be refueled before the grid can be brought back up. Flying vehicles will probably remain fueled for a long time as well. The military is another big consumer of fuels and they strongly prefer not to be limited by availability -- world wars have been influenced by that kind of thing.

"It's okay to be white" was devised by fascists on 4chan to do exactly that. Rile up centrists and generally those that don't get what whiteness is.

White is arbitrarily defined. Obama is half white yet would never be considered white, so there white is the absence of black. A lot of specific ethnic groups have been added or removed from the definition too (Irish, Italians, Cubans). It's exactly as flexible as fascists need it to be.
I might have missed it, but how do they handle roadwork in European cities?

They have a lot of one way street and an entire path might be reversed for 2 weeks during utility work, then brought back to normal (like replacing cast iron gas pipes, or moving all the utilities before a light rail).
Are those three correlated with success? Or simply leadership? If the former I'd like to know how "success" is defined. "Success" is a very broad and ambiguous word.
No bank pretends to be fully backed and simultaneously not FDIC insured when in reality 1/2 their assets (before they fired up their printer) are locked up in various jurisdictions because they were laundering money for the cartels. Even HSBC was only laundering a tiny, teensy smidge ($881M total out of $871B in assets, 0.09%) and that was the worst scandal in recent memory.
This, a 1000 times this. We just faced this this week.

Recently lost insurance due to a unexpected company closure (with apparently no COBRA responsibility in that case). So I started asking our current providers to find out what it would be to pay out of pocket for some services. Here's an actual item:

Provider bills $285

For out of pocket cash price, they will reduce by 25% (so $213 or so)

Our insurance however got a bigger discount and only had to pay $100 with no further patient responsibility (beyond deductible)

It absolutely should be illegal to price like that.
> Edit: this is an interesting point, though. Ignoring the insurance issue, what would a bank do if you asked to open a deposit account with a billion dollars (paying, say 2%/year)? My uninformed layman's speculation would be that they would reject you because they wouldn't know what to do with that much money: they have to somehow lend out enough of it to at least break even on the 20 million/year that they're paying you for interest, but at the same time they have to be able to give you back your 1 billion at any time you ask for it.

Large banks deal with deposits in total orders of magnitude greater than that (the top banks have over $1 trillion each in deposits.) $1bn in a single demand deposit account is stupid for the depositor, but it doesn't move the needle on a major banks total of deposit accounts, and they can deal with it just fine.
