I like the NY Times, and I'm not saying it should be free, but this seems a self-contradictory stunt. In recognizing the importance of access to a free press, they take down the roadblock to accessing their own content. But only for 3 days.

If this were something like Earth Day, a company vowing to recycle it's waste, but only for a day, would immediately seem just as ridiculous as this does after brief reflection.

I think that's something you have to support. Certainly it is possible, but what else are you putting off or de-prioritizing to do it?

I certainly agree that we should aim to make the most impactful improvements in the most people's lives, I just don't quite know how a global society or even individual countries go about a reasonable prioritization process.

Out of curiosity is there any real evidence that there is a negative consequence for an advertiser marketing its brand on a porn/adult website? I'm a fairly well adjusted human being that also consumes pornography at times and i'm not sure I would personally be bothered with seeing an add for a luxury car brand or clothing designer (not-withstanding my general dislike of seeing any ad). I don't think it would influence my viewpoint of that brand one way or another (vs seeing it on any other site); but maybe subconsciously it would? Is there any actual research?
If I were a politcal group with lots of members up for reelction, I would be sure to flood the ballot with things the other side wants to vote against so they'd have to spread out their tokens whereas my group could clump them on a single issue/candidate.

> over the past, what, 30 years open-source has been the foundation of almost any tool or tech we use nowadays and it was done without economical incentives

Not sure what you are talking about… Most big open-source projects I can think of have at least at some point been the result of economical incentives, either direct or indirect. Sure, there are significant exceptions, but we wouldn't be where we are today if open-source wasn't economically sound.

Most non junior developers in the UK (edit: in London) are contractors which starts at about 250 gbp/day, but average is probably more like 600/day. Can easily be as high as 1200 though.

So a contractor with 5 or 6 years experience can easily make over 100k/annum if you knock off some time for holidays, pensions, gaps between contracts etc.

No one is downvoting non-profit journalism. They are downvoting the claim that non-profit journalism is the only ethically acceptable model.
What we need isn't necessarily centrism, but lowered emotions. Emotions are what skew reason and then catch like wildfire. It happens that they tend to push people to the extreme ends of the political spectrum, but that itself isn't really the problem. It's not about sheer distance from the center, it's about voting based on anger and hatefulness and fear. Anti-fascists in Nazi Germany would've been "extreme" relative to the center at the time, but they wouldn't have been "extreme" with regards to how hate-based their stance was.

Edit: Or more accurately - since many of them probably did develop hatred for the nazis - the anti-fascists' stance made the most sense when hate and fear are removed from the equation; were a person in that context to consider things stoically, there would've been little motive to side with the fascists.

To summarize: fear and anger warp your decision-making. It happens that they lead to polarization, but that's a red herring. What we need is to reduce the inflammation of society (largely thanks to social media), instead of tackling the symptom.
I agree that there's no escaping partisanship. But a paper will have a stronger editorial line on some issues, than others. The Guardian have an almost totally one-sided line on Brexit.

I do not agree that there is such a thing as 'objective journalism'. There is accurate journalism: a commitment to not telling falsehoods. But how your select and interpret events is never 'objective' - it is partisan.
> Wasn't there already some agreement with them in order for them to have decided to use Matrix on the Librem 5 -- or is there no such revenue-sharing arrangement?

We were hoping they would funnel $ from the Librem 5 campaign to help support Matrix, and there was an agreement to do so if the campaign reached a given threshold. So far we haven't seen anything, but live in hope.
Ah yes, you reminded me. There was another piece of jargon I was trying to come up with that really stinks earlier, but I couldn't remember it. And that's what it was: dynamic programming. Terrible name:

"Where did the name, dynamic programming, come from? The 1950s were not good years for mathematical research. We had a very interesting gentleman in Washington named Wilson. He was Secretary of Defense, and he actually had a pathological fear and hatred of the word research. I’m not using the term lightly; I’m using it precisely. His face would suffuse, he would turn red, and he would get violent if people used the term research in his presence. You can imagine how he felt, then, about the term mathematical. The RAND Corporation was employed by the Air Force, and the Air Force had Wilson as its boss, essentially. Hence, I felt I had to do something to shield Wilson and the Air Force from the fact that I was really doing mathematics inside the RAND Corporation. What title, what name, could I choose? In the first place I was interested in planning, in decision making, in thinking. But planning, is not a good word for various reasons. I decided therefore to use the word “programming”. I wanted to get across the idea that this was dynamic, this was multistage, this was time-varying. I thought, let's kill two birds with one stone. Let's take a word that has an absolutely precise meaning, namely dynamic, in the classical physical sense. It also has a very interesting property as an adjective, and that is it's impossible to use the word dynamic in a pejorative sense. Try thinking of some combination that will possibly give it a pejorative meaning. It's impossible. Thus, I thought dynamic programming was a good name. It was something not even a Congressman could object to." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_programming#History

A Congressman may not be able to object, but I do! It's a particular flavor of recursion, and perhaps a flavor of the term "recursion" would be called for, but "dynamic programming" is essentially meaningless. Any addition meaning that phrase may have in your head is almost certainly unrelated to what the term refers to, since we've used "static" and "dynamic" in all sorts of ways since the 1950s.
My guess would be only a fraction of people participate. I watch a bit of Twitch, but for me, the chat might as well not exist. (edit: that isn't to say how important participation and communication are for building a community, they are)

Second, ads don't need payment methods. Kids and teenagers may not have debit or credit cards, but are a hugely valuable demographic that advertisers want to target. So as long as Twitch stays relevant to those audiences, ads will probably be quite valuable.
Yes, once you start the search a directory corresponding to the date of your run will be created inside the saves directory. Inside this directory all your models and progress will be saved automatically (you can later resume the search by changing save_folder value inside configuration file). Once the search is done you will find best_topology file which will containt the topology with its weights. Furthermore, inside the deepswarm.log file you will see all the previously evaluated models with their loss/accuracy values.
If learning is part of a well-rounded set of activities that you are doing in your life, then it will lead to several positive effects. One, learning new things, by itself, with nothing else, reduces cognitive decline and increase brain health. But optimal learning and brain health also derives from physical activity and sleep, so it's a small part of the puzzle.

EDIT: Brain health also derives from a healthy social life, I forgot to add that to the list involved. Having friends that are interested in learning the same things as you, and discussing it with them, help you to develop self-checking techniques.

Also, Alan Kay pointed out in a speech in the last few years that our economy is doing really poorly right now producing researchers, and people who understand research, and you really can't get there without a good education.

I'll go one further and suggest that 'Transfer', which is the application of understanding of one topic to another, is one of the prime sources of what we consider 'innovation' or 'paradigm shifts'.

I feel as if that should be enough proof that education is an end to itself, but I need to be really clear: continuing education doesn't need to have a goal, and I would strongly discourage you from adding one. I go to the gym all the time without goals. I go for walks everyday, without goals. Each of these items are basic maintenance.
Learning new things _well_ is basic maintenance for your brain. If you want to do continuous learning then you should install Anki, get a notebook and learn Cornell notes, then go out and take a quick class, lecture, or study material.

If you are learning something new, the fastest way to learn and retain the material is to move to self-testing as quickly as possible. I can go over this in more detail, but perhaps the first class I would recommend would be "Learning How To Learn" (Coursera), which produced a serious attitude shift in me about learning and what I am capable of as a human.

I was questioning your statement "I personally can't think of a fraction-related concept that I don't understand".

"How would you feel ..."

Well, I'm wrong a lot, so I don't often make statements about fully understanding a topic, and when I do, and I'm corrected, I thank them for pointing out that I was wrong, and for teaching me something new.

I'll add that "lying for personal gain" is also a redefinition of "bullshitting". The most relevant definitions from https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bullshit are:

> 2. (vulgar, slang) False or exaggerated statements made to impress and deceive the listener rather than inform; nonsense.

> 3. Statements that may be true but misleading nonetheless.
The case-insensitive identifiers is SQL-standard. I think their issue is that pg lowercases identifiers before creation / storage. That is

not

The opinion writers are purposely selected to oppose and challenge the viewpoint of the editorial board. Assuming that the editorial board is largely truly correct, there is going to be some degree of intellectual dishonesty among the opposing opinion writers.

I bought a Certified PreOwned 2015 Leaf in 2017 near mint condition with 20k miles, full battery bars, and a warranty for $12k. Comparable cars are ~$3k cheaper now.

My Leaf has a reported range of 75-90 miles fully charged. I'm in the South Eastern US and my commute to work is roughly 25 miles of highway (65-80mph) driving one way. So in theory I should have 25+ miles of range when arriving home in the evenings but highway driving draws more power as does operating climate control so that's best case. It doesn't leave much room for errands in the evenings after work.

I lost a bar recently but oddly it does not seem to have affected the range at all.
Ah damn I'm sorry. Can you tell me where this data is in the book? I quickly brushed through the 217 page book and there seems to be no data regarding my comment where I think open-source doesn't need economical incentives in order to work.

> There are many many video content hosting sites, there are countless twitter clones, and there are a crazy amount of sites doing things like Facebook with profiles and such.

I think the point is yes there are alternatives however given the size/reach of FB, YT, and twitter even those alternatives really aren't competing with them. They own the market share for what do and even many of those alternatives (ie mastodon) post on twitter or FB news or service updates. I'd say the alternatives don't even make up 5% use over FB, YT, or twitter.

Is it a monopoly in the normal sense of the word probably not, but the issue remains that alternatives are niche and truly don't directly compete. I think though as things like people being banned, creators being demonetized or the numerous other things that have happened in the last year to show users of these platforms the problems; we might see these alternatives pick up ground as these people with followings and clout get kicked off or decide to find alternatives. They get too big for their own good and in the process they will end up fragmenting their communities causing some to take alternatives serious.
I watched this happen over the last 20 years and its an important development.

If you remember the 80s and 90s, you may remember lingering in bookstores because they were a focal point to daytime city life. Before online dating, you would meet women and men there, and that was the whole point. If you ask any man of a certain age from a city who the "bookstore girl," was, he will have a memory, if not a story for you. It was a big part of city culture.

What Reismann (and her predecessor, Chapters) did initially was bring suburban big box stores into the city and wiped out a lot of the street life and culture, and with it, small publishers. In effect this polarized the market for fiction, where literary fiction today has been reduced to "content," and a lot of unctuous posturing funded by grant money.

However, after hollowing the market out, Reismann branched out with Indigo and kind of re-planted, where her stores are once again places for people to linger. They are placed near movie theatres, so it was something to do while you waited.

The formula that Indigo is getting right is, like us in software, it's about generating retail traffic. You need a funnel to drive conversions. To do that, you need to attract women, who draw men, and the frisson that keeps them coming back is what turns the engine over. Let's face it, Indigo isn't a Cabela's with books because that's not how you get that retail traffic engine to turn over. It's more like Anthropologie meets a craft shop.

I don't like shopping at Indigo, but that's not the point. As a man I go there because I can get a new release or something relatively mainstream faster than amazon can deliver it, and crucially, I can get exposure to that element of social randomness and optionality that is completely absent and destroyed in cities now that everyone carries a slot machine in their pocket. The most interesting future from my view will be the one that gets people actually talking and connecting again the way we used to in bookstores and cafes.

When flying from a Schengen area country to the US, border patrol on the departing side is entirely managed by that country. Often e.g. United-operated flights from larger European airports will have their own passport check, but that always happens after you pass through the departing country's passport control. At least, this is my personal experience flying between Germany and the US ~once a month.

I have been to a few airports where you explicitly clear US customs at the departing airport before leaving for the US — Vancouver, BC and Dublin Shannon come to mind.

If you've overstayed your automatic 90-day Schengen area travel visa, a common hack for backpackers and such is to intentionally leave the Schengen area from someplace like France that's generally less strict about counting exact days than many other EU countries.

To be fair, I don't have much experience flying from the Schengen area to non-Schengen area non-US countries. It's totally possible this is all rigamarole that the US government pressures other countries to do.

I don't think the problem is so much about predicting the encoding that will be used. Let's say you KNOW that non-ascii characters will be used in the field, but only very occasionally. That means the field has to be 4x as wide as it would have been otherwise even if non-ascii characters will almost never be used.

That's the endgame I expect: climate refugees leading to (possibly nuclear) war. With a much smaller human population (and perhaps a bit of nuclear winter), atmospheric CO2 will return to pre-industrial levels, and things will return to normal in a couple millennia. The remaining humans will migrate down from Alaska and Siberia, and build new cities on top of the ruins.
