I agree, it's strange that this complaint is so prevalent. Forums almost always have a subscribe feature that allows you to subscribe to individual subforums or even individual threads/topics, and they email you directly (even in digest form so you aren't spammed by tons of emails) when there's new content.

People often complain that forums are archaic, but they've been around so long they've solved so many problems in really usable ways. I often feel the fetishization of the new blinds people to existing, older solutions that work perfectly well.
Sorry, I don't see how your comment contributes to the discussion. You have heard of C? A language which most of the Unix infrastructure is built upon?
It turns out, Go is a language, which keeps a lot of virtues of C, adding just enough to it to fix some of the shortcomings of C, adding more safety and convenience.
Apple's arguing that some people will hurt themselves no matter what they put in the documentation. If that's true, this legislation really would put them between a rock and a hard place, because you bet I'm suing Apple if a battery blows up while I'm trying my best to follow their official directions.
It seems like Wikipedia might have some inherent incompatibilities with what they're trying to do, such as its editorial rules and its definition of notability, which can't easily be "fixed" by whatever definition of fixing they need. I appreciate a more inclusive view of notability that lets you take it all in and surface whats relevant more selectively although that is open for insane amounts of debate around it as we've seen on Wikipedia.
Is there a particular reason Cloudflare isn't selling new domains? Or is it just a way to slowly scale up to that?

I'd personally love to move my domain buying off Gandi and to Cloudflare, mainly for programmability / API reasons (buying domains with terraform? yes please)

I also find it very frustrating. How can I get rid of FB while important groups I'm a part of use it?

However, the demise of RSS combined with the desire of individuals to share things online without having their own "site," means that there is no place like FB for aggregation of content I'm interested in.

I'm still trying to start a forum outside of FB, though. I'm using Discourse. It's a far cry from phpBB.

"Demand for the Chinese tech company's [Huawei] devices is red hot even though the country's overall market for smartphones is shrinking."

That's the second sentence in your link. And it says Oppo grew at 1.1% (in 2018q4)-- that's not exactly winning. Xiaomi plummeted 28%, even more than apple. There's clearly more going on than a simple competition between apple and Huawei.

https://www.engadget.com/2019/03/13/smartphone-sales-china-p...

More recent data shows Oppo and Vivo are struggling to increase sales too. Huawei is the only company growing in the Chinese market. 2019q1 data:

"A room with four feet of water was built to last for several years with the intention of being more generalizable to the general population; but with each new room under its original design the old room is no longer suitable for real life use. So why do we keep asking the older room owners to build a new room with four feet of water?

"It doesn't provide a room with many plots that have no walls in it? They aren't as useful."

Is it that hard to design a house with multiple plots over it?
True, local Chinese Android phones are increasing their market share in China, while foreign phones like Samsung and Apple etc. are shrinking.

However, the overall smartphone market is shrinking in China. The economy there is not doing well.

I'm not entirely sure, but I'll apply the technique for my open source storage system. I have reference-instances with a log-key, persistent-key (file offset for instance) and will (re-add) the Java object references. In order to set them to null when the page is going to be evicted from the buffer cache I'll add a simple in-memory map with the proposed child => parent mapping, such that I can set the in-memory page reference to null again.

CompTIA Security+ is basically a minimum requirement for any DOD-related IT contract at Leidos Inc., and probably for most other large IT contractors along the Washington DC-area "beltway" too. So yes-ish depending on whether or not US government IT is a "serious" thing in your opinion. On the other hand, you have nuclear missile systems using floppy disks as recent as 2017, so I guess it's a bit of a toss-up.

Yep, if the battery is such a danger then the government needs to step in and mandate some safety packaging on mandate no glue may be used to secure a battery and it must have a safe way to replace it. People are putting these things up to their heads and if its a repair danger then it is obviously a danger in other situations.
"The referendum was regarded as illegitimate by most members of the European Union, the United States and Canada mainly due to Russian intervention.[13] Thirteen members of the United Nations Security Council voted in favor of a resolution declaring the referendum invalid, but Russia vetoed it and China abstained.[14][15] A United Nations General Assembly resolution was later adopted, by a vote of 100 in favor vs. 11 against with 58 abstentions, which declared the referendum invalid and affirmed Ukraine's territorial integrity."

Right to repair is about more than just getting a reasonable functionality for one's money. It is about "actually owning" whatever device or machinery.

I want to be able to do "anything" to the physical object that I own. I know that interferes with economic calculations involving selling two more or less similar objects for substantially different prices when the manufacturer determines two different submarkets exist (one small, high end market and one low-end mass market usually, gaming versus AI in the case of GPUs).

I know this interferes with maximum profits which might make some manufacturers more reluctant to invest. My heart bleeds for them[/s].
> These are just some ideas, there could be any number of confounding factors.

There _could_ be.

But when the source dataset was carefully gathered for a competition and the academics are saying "Broad and international participation in image contribution ensures that the dataset contains a representative clinically relevant sample", talking about multiple different equipment and labs, things look pretty promising.

A lot of ML systems are built with much less rigourous datasets and do a good job when you put them in production.

10k such images were gathered from this process.

The authors then randomly select 100 images from it to use as a test dataset.
100 is a small number. But that smallness is not relevant to the _selection_ issues here. Its only relevant to whether the measurements of performance are statistically significant (i.e. that we didn't end up with a sample that by chance is particularly favorable to the ML approach.) 100 data points is enough that that's unlikely (though one should check.)

Additionally the authors talk about using a much larger validation set, and performing multiple runs and checking the validation accuracy is similar. Unless they deliberately left out the damning fact that their accuracy was a lot _higher_ on their small test set than on their validation set, then its even more unlikely that the test set is a sample that is particularly favorable to the ML approach.

You could argue it happens to be particularly _unfavorable_ to the humans, but that seems a stretch. Perhaps they should have created multiple test sets, and a couple of different batches of human raters etc. But honestly, their setup seems pretty good to me.

That's fair.

Has it? Do we have any reason to believe this is definite? Moreover, do we have any evidence that this behavior didn't exist or existed at a lesser scale 30 years ago? Maybe the GP simply did not see it happening.

Either way it seems like speculation, maybe it should be presented as such instead of stating it as fact?
> 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?

My mind went in a different direction, although your point is very valuable and the question needs to be asked.

My concern is this: Wikipedia editors work hard to maintain a level of quality high enough that the kooks and cranks and racists of the world feel like Wikipedia is biased against them. Well, guess what: It is. Wikipedia gives no platform to people who think vaccines cause autism. NPOV is biased towards the scientific consensus.

So, will Golden even attempt that level of quality? Will it keep the constant tide of insanity out or will it be inundated by the loudest few who believe the craziest shit? Crowdsourcing is dangerous when some people are endlessly motivated to game the system, and I don't just mean making Moot win Man Of The Year competitions.
This is an interesting point: is it innovative to jump into any new thing regardless of its actual potential? You could claim that yes, it is. I would argue that it actually isn't. The key to innovation is to be able to correctly evaluate where there are real opportunities for innovative technologies. It's possible "the cryptoverse" will eventually show that it has such potential, but it has stubbornly refused to do that for the near decade that I've been paying attention to it, despite metric gob-tons of money and hype being thrown at it.

On the other hand, in the same time period (actually in a shorter time period!), machine learning driven technologies like voice and image recognition have gone from sci-fi to commonplace. I ask: which is more innovative?

I don't see why anyone feels the need to compel Apple to make their phones "repairable" in the first place. If you want that feature, I'm sure Samsung or myriad other manufacturers would gladly sell you their handsets instead.

Maybe you could make some sort of anti-trust arguments about the probably-a-little-too-tight relationships between wireless carriers and the device manufacturers, but there are a lot of handset makers to choose from and the market can choose who wins.
Yes. I believe "serverless" still has it's use cases. It's really good for small services and abstracting away some logic. It's really good for basic query and render (html/json) type apps. If you're doing more, then I suggest you just build more services that are specific to it's task and then let them talk to each other through RPC or similar.
What's the evidence to any of that?

What's with the persistent narrative of google not being "just another company" and then (sadly?) becoming one? that's some fairytale nonsense.
The entire point of open source is that you don't need to ask for permission.
I wasn't the OP, so accusing me of FUD is somewhat misguided.

On the other hand, the design of snap, despite the code being open source, does not mean that the system (system as a collection of code, network services, network effects, network control, bizdev relations, etc) as a whole is non-proprietary. For similar story, see also: Android.
I've never heard of a termination based on individual performance being called a layoff. In fact, I'm fairly certain it's defined as a termination due to factors outside the employee's control. A layoff is when the position itself no longer exists due to downsizing, restructuring, etc.

You admit that you're not a lawyer, and then continue to argue about the meaning of terms which have defined legal consequences?

Your colloquial understanding of what "layoff" means is just that--a colloquial but not correct understanding. A layoff is legally just a not-for-cause termination of an employee by the employer. Down-sizing is a type of termination (and a type of layoff) which usually has additional legal requirements and consequences (mostly for the company).

Being terminated due to poor performance or a bad fit is not a layoff, by any standard I've heard of, and some brief googling seems to support that.

Cites needed. HR and legal sites only. You might be confusing the Canadian and EU sites that pop up as the first results as authorities on US law, which is very different. (Note: Canada does define "layoff" and "termination" to mean different things. The US does not.)

Terminating an employee for being a bad fit and calling it a layoff would almost certainly invite legal action.

Literally anything can invite legal action in the US. But terminating an employee for being a bad fit is precisely within the meaning of "layoff" and would not result in a successful legal action by the terminated employee.

But I'm no lawyer, so if you've got a source backing up the claim, I'd love to see it and be enlightened.

I charge $600/hour, if you want cites, however, Google is free if you remember to limit yourself to US sites. This ADP article (https://www.adp.com/spark/articles/2018/09/firing-employees-...) confusingly notes the difference between the two from a non-legal/non-HR perspective intended for layman employers.
So how does it work? When you say "same SSID" do you mean your app uses broadcast/multicast across the network or do you mean you are saving the SSID/BSSID and centralizing the conversations in a cloud database? In the first case how do you deal with the majority of large Wi-Fi networks that disable peer to peer communication? In the latter case how do you differentiate if it's SSID not BSSID?

I suppose I could find out if I downloaded the app and tried it out but I'd rather read about how the app works than just run random programs on my phone. The website itself doesn't give much to go off of in terms of feedback-able content and the app pages just show some messages.
That Secret Barrister link paints a very different (and much more measured) picture to what's been splashed on the front pages of the newspapers.

It looks good from a visual and usability standpoint. But it's kind of odd how there's already a cluster of articles on synthetic biology, but nothing written about Escherichia coli.

If the idea is to catch up and eventually overtake Wikipedia in content, that seems extremely ambitious.

Luckily the name Golden is pretty generic so maybe they plan to pivot towards whichever industries adopt it more?
What I love about the airpods is that the enclosure is so small and well-shaped that I can have it in my front pocket at all times without even noticing it's there. That also means I always put the pods back in the enclosure after use and have not yet lost a pod. Haven't noticed any battery degradation after a year of use.

They do say exactly that, and that's what you're paying for. If you'd like to host your own versions of those open source apps, you're more than welcome to.
Ah. Pandas is the problem. Unfortunately, you need to understand how its features are implemented to use it well. Still, my main trouble with Pandas is unnecessary memory bloat, not compute inefficiency.

That caveat is somewhat true for all programming abstractions, but well-designed interfaces make the more efficient techniques more obvious and beautiful, while the inefficient or risky techniques are made esoteric and ugly.
Ditto this.

Haha, comments are terrible and frustrate me to no end. They are impossible to navigate once there are enough comments that you need to "load previous comments".

If using the app, any mistaken gesture will undo all your progress loading previous comments to find the one referred to by another comment, which is very annoying. The UI is terrible. I usually just give up.

Everything indicates facebook is indeed not meant for conversations, which makes it doubly frustrating that people have decided to replace forums with it.

The motor in your car rarely goes bad compared to the oil and brake pads. Those things are purposely made easy to change, and Apple could design their phone so that the failure-prone parts were swappable just as well.
I found Eric extremely impressive as a CEO. He always spoke with eloquence and charisma and generally seemed to have the answers and explanations when pressed.

> And yes, if someone speaks bad French, I'll switch to English but that's not out of disrespect, it's because it's more efficient/easy, if you prefer that the discussion stays in French to practice your French, just say so..

It might be efficient, but it will definitely hurt the self-esteem of the other person. Been there. I speak 5 languages fluently and tried to learn Italian. Went to Florence and every time I tried to speak Italian, people would answer in English. I know they're doing it because they're used to tourism and it's more efficient - yet at the same time it made me doubt so much about my language learning skills that I probably won't try it again for a while.
This is a very realistic example. I know several people that have been victimized but have not reported it because they were otherwise breaking some law themselves.

I unfortunately know a woman who was raped, but did not report it because she was underage drinking at the time. She has spent decades now regretting that decision. The fear of reporting is real.

Those were disks you installed and ran yourself. This is a hosted product that runs in a (not free) data center. It's perfectly legit to charge for the service of hosting an open source or free app.
It does not matter whether the data is balanced or not when you report ROC (AUC), sensitivity and specificity for the purpose of comparison of two ways of image interpretation (e.g. humans vs. machines) as long as the evaluation is done on the same dataset with the same methodology. Obviously, the absolute numbers would not mean much outside of the study.
I just hope that media created in the future won’t deliberately avoid saliant subjects because of the potential short-term (negative) impact on a certain subset of society.
