Which is probably why alot of business is backing this protest in contrast to the Umbrella protest of 2014; their lawyers know that it would be harder to incentivize Western business to send people and capital when they can be arbitrarily seized.
I agree! Personally, I'd advice anyone who starts reading these books to also practice everything they read on them, and maybe keep all of those projects on GitHub for potential employers to see them.
Stereotypes in general exist because a 'sufficiently large' percent of a population abide them. What sufficiently large means is not easy to define, but it's not like they're completely arbitrary. Look at one important thing you're doing, perhaps not consciously, in your comment. You chose to focus on physical expressions (wearing flannel, wearing tie dye, smoking pot, etc) as opposed to ideological views or values and characteristics. Reality can often get in the way of expression so by referencing it alone you substantially undercount 'adherents.'

For instance one of the stereotypes of millennials is extreme narcissism, but this doesn't necessarily manifest in everybody having some social media account where they endlessly post selfies of themselves. Though, at least in this case, the number engaged in that behavior alone probably justifies the stereotype. And by contrast boomers were most well known for, in general, a rejection of traditional views and values. The success of the civil rights movement alone testifies to the widespread nature of this change in the zeitgeist.

Really though you can perhaps see this even more clearly by looking how much the US changes its zeitgeist just about every 20 years:

- Roaring 20s
- Warring 40s
- Peace and Love 60s
- Corporate 80s
- Identity Politic 2000s
- ?? 2020s

Of course there are many exceptions to these sort of characterizations - but that's what stereotypes tend to be: things that hold true, for a 'sufficiently large' chunk of a population. That of course does not preclude many people not abiding the stereotypes.

> So given that the costs of production haven't been lowered, why would anybody expect the cost to the consumer to decrease?

This was the part of the story I never understood. There seemed to be some sort of implied "and then VCs will subsidise things until everyone permanently accepts lower profit margins in order to lower costs". Which just didn't seem like a terribly plausible sequence of events.

It kinda reminds me of how everyone thought e-books of the latest Harry Potter should cost $1 (compared to a more expensive print book) and, surprise, it didn't work out that way either.
Thank you for the reply frnkng. By quality of life I mean:

1. Better education and future for my daughter. Lesser gender discriminaition.

2. Better infrastructure and government facilities for the tax paid (30% in Bangalore)

3. Free and good health care

4. Better career growth and opportunities in terms of moving to freelancing/consulting, attending conferences/meetups, working with international and bright minds

5. Less pollution

6. Less crime and relatively less corruption

I think that’s the solution: make it the responsibility of one person, instead of everyone’s. And that “everyone” probably earns a lot per hour, and each person doing their own small part just wastes a lot of start-up/ramp-down time.

> reusables have to be used ~70 times to be more environmentally friendly than the current disposables

Another commenter linked to a research paper [1] that includes this number. It's worth noting a few things:

* This was comparing ceramic mugs versus disposable cups. They assumed that reusable plastic cups would be more favorable (but did not opine on travel mugs, which are the more reasonable substitute among to-go customers).

* The study was done by Starbucks, among other organizations (may have a bias to make disposable paper look not-so-bad).

* Another study apparently showed 1,000 use threshold, but the author of the below-linked paper considered that study to insufficiently account for all of the costs of paper cups (deforestation, etc.).

full text:

* There has been a long-standing debate over the comparative energy-efficiencies of disposable products and reusable dishware. A study that is frequently cited is one conducted by Martin Hocking, a professor at The University of Victoria in British Columbia. Hocking (1994) reports that one would have to use a reusable cup as much as 1,000 times in order to justify the higher energy requirement during production. Yet this study omits the impacts of deforestation, transportation, packaging, and disposal; a more complete picture is needed to truly debate the environmental costs of disposable versus reusable cups. Starbucks teamed up with the Alliance for Environmental Innovation to more accurately compare the two, naming reusable products the more environmentally-friendly option (Alliance for Environmental Innovation, 2000). Their study found that using ceramic mugs in place of disposable cups would reduce resource consumption and pollution to an astounding extent, even including the impacts of manufacturing, use, and dishwashing.*

Loving the downvotes

Your original comment seems tangentially related at best. Gender issues, physicists, programmers, office politics... while the article is about farmers, economics, maybe genetics. I get you work with suicidal individuals, but beyond that superficial observation I don't see how what you originally wrote contributes. Maybe I'm just too thick. If you'll excuse me for saying so, you also seem to be spoiling for a fight.

FWIW just-barely-related top level comments tend to attract some downvotes.
Have to bring this up again, but Docker specifically blocked manual automated builds before this happened from Docker Hub and required that you use their app to link your account. Therefore, it will be near impossible to trust them after this.
When we started CircleCI, there were at least 3 other things that were pretty much the same. In addition, two similar services had died, and one had pivoted to be a PaaS. There was also Jenkins, TeamCity, Bamboo, and lots of other alternatives. And then over the next two years, there was at least 20 competitors that started, some with significant funding.

I agonized over so many competitors, and none of them mattered. If you're going to do it, just do it.

The same is true on every OS, if you open a java app on macos it's not going to look right, do you blame apple for that or the developers of the app?

> In some apps. Firefox didn’t respect it and wanted its own setting iirc.

Will firefox respect it on macos? It's not a good example anyway because firefox is not native, firefox is the electron of the 00's. Even when firefox tries to emulate the native theme it screws up, I had to turn off my dark theme just to get text areas with visible text.
Sadly, this is generally faster, better quality and easier. Getting the right encoding settings, audio formats, video codecs etc is a surprisingly complicated dance. I've often downloaded a bluray I bought just because I know the release groups will get the job done better than I can.

This sounds reasonable, but I think in practice the capacity of T1 won't be enough to capture long patterns and the F2 sequence is supposed to help T2 to restore the lost info about the longer pattern. The idea is to make T1 really good at capturing small patterns, like speech in pop music, while T2 would be responsible for background music with longer patterns.

Don't we already do this with text translation? Why not to let one model read a printed text pixel by pixel and the other model produce a translation, also pixel by pixel? Instead we choose to split printed text into small chunks (that we call words), give every chunk a "word vector" (those word2vec models) and produce text also one word at a time.

Scientists are made, not born. They need space to study. If we make them share rooms when they are children, or share houses when they move out, then their potential is squandered.

I had to share a room growing up, so half my time was spent watching TV in the living room. My parents wouldn't let me turn the TV off, as they were watching it or listening to it. Mind-numbing.

I had to share a house at university. My housemates wanted to drink and play games and listen to loud music all day. Also not good.

How is something like this funded? Doesn’t this cost money to host?
Actually no, it's a problem for you since you are eating what they are producing. By the time litigation is done you are already affected.

We are not a microserice entity where each part _only_ needs to know their bit. Each person is expected to get by themselves which means that we need to care about how things are done.

It's why we try hard to educate our kids to know how things work, but as was said, production is separated from consumption, which to me is a big hurdle.

I've been building Jive Search. There's already tons of competitors in search (Google, Bing, etc.). There's also DuckDuckGo, StartPage, etc. that claim to be privacy-focused but are just as opaque as Google. The niche I'm targeting is users that understand that for true privacy in search you have to be transparent and open source so that users can view the code and run it on their own if they want.
>Taiwan themselves maintain a claim to the entire mainland as well, they just disagree on who should hold power.

This isn't the whole truth I don't think. They do maintain officially maintain this line... under the implied threat of invasion/war from the mainland if they deviate. Similar to how he US officially doesn't recognize Taiwan as a country because it isn't in the US interests to invoke hell's fury from the PRC over Taiwan, but for all intents and purposes the US treats Taiwan as an independent state.

The DPP (plurality party in Taiwan) generally leans towards viewing Taiwan as an independent nation. The main opposing party's view is generally consistent with what you've stated in my understanding.

It's a complicated topic but you're mainly projecting the main land's view onto the people of Taiwan.
When I tell people "I live in Tokyo" they immediately assume it's crazy expensive. I always say, compared to what? London? New York? San Francisco? Tokyo is actually cheaper.

And there is choice! I could live 15 min away from where I live and save 30% of my rent. But I love the place where I live! (and I don't need to travel anywhere, just walk. So worth the money).

One can vary the size / location / age of the building and fight something. Tokyo is so amazing due to mixed-use zoning. Apartments, restaurants, shops, office buildings. All tastefully mixed together.

Also the food is so much cheaper. I can get a great, tasty and healthy (-enough) lunch in Tokyo for $10. Same food/quality would cost me $20 in US.

Bay Area is terrible. Pay through the roof to live in the middle of nowhere and spend hours every day in traffic.

It would be helpful to include what specifically went wrong when there is a security incident at your company. Every failure should be a learning opportunity for others. Perhaps there should be some sort of safe harbor for disclosing security compromises as it benefits the greater community.

I can understand why you'd want to cover your ass in this type of situation. However, I think keeping these things secret leads to more harm over time as people brush off weaknesses in their own systems for lack of concrete examples of where it caused harm.

Was an employee careless with credentials? Was some service not updated? Was it a typical attack like a SQL injection that caused the leak? Having more real world info helps people model threats better.
It's such a bizarre state of affairs in modern capitalist societies. These sorts of supply shortfalls are fixed in no time for every other type of product or service. Yet housing is that one thing which has so many vested interests throughout the population.

If any other basic need rose so much above inflation no one would consider it a positive for society.
So first of all yes, free speech is important. If it were to be curtailed along political lines, my work would be cut long before any of these platforms.

But free speech isn't quite relevant here. The first amendment does not provide a right to a platform or an audience. Would they eventually find other outlets? Of course. But if your ideology is regularly getting people killed I absolutely want you to be handing out fliers at the mall, not sending out links to your anonymous discord or 8chan.

Getting help for these troubled men is a priority, but right now there simply isn't a mechanism for it -- we help those who seek it in America. Finding out who these posters are in the first place is a chore on its own and has been more effectively accomplished by networks of antifascists than by our well-funded intelligence departments, to give you some perspective. So I think that goal will come with more resource allocation to this particular problem, once it's acknowledged. And the current administration does not acknowledge it.

I think it makes a difference whether you're looking for ideas that will do well, vs just having an idea that you would go for as a pet project. I have one of those "just a pet project" ideas which I have been developing for no reason other than my own benefit, and let me tell you, I love finding competition. It's like Christmas every time I find out there's a service that incorporates some of the concepts, and I keep a big document of inspiration that draws between all of them.

If your idea isn't unique, you can still succeed, but you have to out-do the competition on something other than uniqueness.

The memory representation of the null pointer is implementation-defined. The C99 standard only guarantees that a integer constant expression with the value 0, implicitly or explicitly cast to a pointer type, will give a null pointer. It does not guarantee that a null pointer cast to an integer type (other than _Bool) will give the value 0; all pointer-to-integer casts are implementation-defined. It also does not guarantee that a non-constant expression which evaluates to 0 will produce a null pointer if cast to a pointer type.

In short, there may exist counter-intuitive but nonetheless standards-compliant platforms where tests such as "assert((uintptr_t)(void * )0 == 0);" or "int x = 0; assert((void * )x == (void * )0);" would fail.
Hi there,

Out of the box we are seeing accuracy between 60 and 80% but with training on 1000+ samples we can get in the 80 to 90% mark. With 5000 samples it can go beyond 95%.

Yes, Data Review Service is manual verification of the extracted data so that you get 100% accuracy and dont need to review yourself.

The first toilet paper sold in this country in 1857 -- was apparently not a commercial success...

Compare this to many entrepreneurs and software authors who create a website or an app that does not succeed with their first version...

Apparently commercial toilet paper contained splinters, actual wood splinters, until 1935, which means that the market had to wait approximately 78 years for a splinter-free product...

Two points:

1) Just because people aren't buying something today doesn't mean they don't need it or wouldn't eventually want it...

2) There might be room for additional improvement in products that are already popular and have a market...

(Of course, the counter-argument is that there are too many products that no one wants or needs glutting the market, but the counter-counter-argument for that is that a diversity of products creates a rich marketplace full of choices... so, choose one of those viewpoints...<g>)
It is worth considering the likely second-order effects of this policy. For example, will people who buy Starbucks/Dunkin just use pod machines more frequently instead? Will they buy a coffee machine and make coffee at home, using a single filter for one cup? What are the environmental impacts of these behaviors?

I am especially poorly-positioned to answer these questions since I am not a coffee drinker, but it would probably be a good idea for policymakers to figure out how people will react to a policy like this. Otherwise we might end up with a poorly-target policy that either doesn't make things better (on net) or actually makes things worse.
Absolutely. I'm sure there are many reasons for this, but a big one i always see is attention to detail. People who really care are obsessed with getting all the details right, and hate bugginess, bad ux, and other issues typical of crappy software. Big projects with no real owner may have lots of programmers, but none of them care so much that they want to get in the really deep weeds to make the thing a truly amazing software experience.
I don't think this is a super helpful comparison.

There is a net demand for Chinese food in the area, and there will definitely be such a thing as 'too much or little' supply (though obviously each offer i.e. supply is a little different)

A single restaurant will only be able to meet so much demand, so if there's a niche in terms of region or menu, maybe there's a real opportunity.

GitHub, Uber, FB - they all have network externalizations to some extent, there definitely have economies of scale, and they are playing in a global marketplace (or at least, say 'the Western world').

So, no, it's probably not a good idea to compete directly with them.

In fact, incumbents almost always win - the idea is to do something different enough, solve a problem in a different way.

Slack did not build 'better email' they went up one level and built 'better communication'. And a whole bunch of other things of course. But 'slack e-mail' probably would not have yielded them the same result.
