RIP legend. You literally put your mark on this world! One of the building he designed in Singapore is "The Gateway"[0]. Every time I am around the area, I can't help but be in awe.

As a person who blogs on certain areas in ML, the sole thing I look for in any platform is SEO. I tried going on Medium, but because of the lack of LaTex support, I had to go on my own blog, but I'd really like if there's an alternate to Medium with amazing SEO (as you explained).
IBM's attempted marketing grab of the space with Watson has probably set back significant portions of the market by a decade at least.
And now he's very, very, dead, earlier than he would have been naturally. On top of that, history will not remember him fondly.

Hardly a success story, in my opinion.
It’s a psychological effect. Same reason why Whole Foods charged $0.25 to get a cart, and then returned you the money. People tend to return the carts after paying the money.
Prey species are very aware of their own death.
Focus on edge cases and systems going out of sync. If you can turn chaos decision making from multiple nodes into a consensus output you’ll do fine.
From my calculations a can of coke has 12 teaspoons of sugar. That seems almost undrinkably sweet.
The one I've heard most about in Java is single-implementation devirtualization. Since Java loads dynamically at the class level, it knows exactly which implementations of an interface or class hierarchy are in use. It has to maintain this information in the class loaders anyway, so this is almost free. However, it allows for some pretty aggressive devirtualization by only compiling for known loaded types and trapping the rest. In my experience, especially around things like interfaces defining module contracts, there tends to only be one implementation in play during normal runtime, meaning that the interface becomes zero-cost. And it doesn't even have to track new implementations loading. It just leaves the optimization there until it has proof via the trap that it must recompile.
Eh, I would way prefer that. Much easier. I just refuse take home tests now.
You won't even see many cigarette butts in Japan, because smokers carry a pocket ashtray.
I'm OK with this. Or even glass.

According to the interwebs, it wasn't until the 1960's that plastic bottles became popular in the United States, but I don't remember them until the early 80's.

Before then, soda always came in cans with pull-tabs that would slice your toes open at the beach.
I've had blog posts do well on Medium but sink like a stone on those platforms. It's a very different proposition submitting to medium and having it shown to people who are likely to be interested over a day, vs self-submitting to a site like HN or Reddit and watching it sink like a stone because the few people who are likely to be interested aren't looking at that particular moment.

Not to mention the fact that if you self-submit anything to those sites people tend to take it as an invitation to eviscerate you.
Medium has a built-in audience so the number of people who will see a particular post and share it on Reddit, HackerNews, etc., is higher than if you just host it on Wordpress and do all the marketing yourself.
that's why you flag them and move on.
Use Ghost.
It's free, given you have a server set up.
Being conscious of dog whistles isn't expanding the white supremacist classification. A single false positive by Twitter of all places isn't indicative of a trend.
The piece is very concerned with the individual effects of immortality, or extreme longevity, but the first thought that scared me was the cultural effects on our species. I'm already worried about the number of very old people that predominantly govern our countries, but a congress full of 500 year old boomers, now that's material for a horror novel.

For me immortality seems like a recipe for stagnation and inequality rather than dynamism and renewal. Unless individuals suddenly learn to change, to adapt and to give up their old ways (in which case what's really the point of thinking of yourself as immortal or a continuous entity), I think there's a very obvious upside to birth and death.
No need to be sorry. Your English is fine and what you said makes perfect sense. As someone who doesn't post on Medium this is great in helping understand why people use it. So thank you for sharing.
Clearly the best option is to live in an affluent area for most of high school and do really well.

Then one month before SAT move to a very poor area and attend the worst high school you can find.

That way you got a good adversity score as well.
Let it die, this accelerates the process
Sugar is very soluble?

This is true. That's why in baking, sugar is considered a liquid, not a solid.
ILS is ancient.

"Tests of the ILS system began in 1929 in the United States."

It's really just a radio beam. It's no wonder it can be mucked with.
Shouldn't college admissions officers already be able to take this into account based on data in the application? I am pretty neutral on it, but think the idea is pretty pointless and just leads to people trying to game the system, rather than having decision making criterion distributed.
For a detailed nuanced piece about how FB handles some of this complexity check this out: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/02/men-are-scum-inside-...

FB has its problems, but I generally find the negative press overstated and wonder if Zuck's approach to interact with the press and congress actually backfires (compare to the other companies which largely ignore them). I appreciate how often he talks to the press to explain what they're trying to do though.

I also see the Cambridge Analytica scandal as what it is - permissive APIs that were abused and then locked down. Cambridge Analytica is to blame in this for abusing TOS and behaving badly, FB is arguably negligent - but I think the reaction is extreme.

Plus from people I know inside FB there really is a huge funded effort to stop abuse and manipulation via 'integrity' teams. It'll be interesting to see how they modify things given Zuck's recent pivot towards focusing on privacy as a core feature.
They totally will, if Google will wave the huge user base size in front of them (which Google already did). So MS grip on gaming developers' mind share will fly out of the windows. That's the best thing I see coming out of Stadia and it's something MS clearly are scared of, since when it comes to their gaming business, they are used to lock-in and years of developers' mind share domination, rather than competition on merit.
As a fellow Asian whose parents also sacrificed a lot, I'm sympathetic, but I would urge you to consider a couple things:

1. Like it or not, plenty of families in America have had it worse than you had, and would not find it at all impressive that you have never gone on a vacation or eaten out.

2. You should save your anger for the huge number of spots saved for legacies and athletes. Being the child of alumni means you have a 45% greater chance of getting into a college. (https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/07/harvards-freshman-class-is-m...) If you must get angry at someone, don't get angry at the people who are struggling as hard, or harder than you are--get mad at the rich assholes who quietly sail into these so-called elite institutions.

3. If you have good grades and good test scores, there are tons of good colleges you can go to. They just might not be Harvard. Is not going to Harvard worth pushing yourself to the right? Worth aligning yourself with the guy pushing a trade war with China, which is going to do wonders for the image of Asians in America? Personally, I don't think so.

4. The adversity score is designed to ensure equality of opportunity, dude. If they were capable of making a good adversity score, they would certainly take into account your family's struggles. They probably won't be able to, because these things are unquantifiable, but frankly the SAT and the whole college admissions process are bullshit anyway, and you'll be happier once you let go of your belief that because your family sacrificed a lot, the system ought to reward you. It should, but it won't, because it's a capricious and unfair monster.
I agree. Merced to Bakersfield - really who cares? LA to SF is the only route that makes sense. Do that or do nothing. Who the heck needs high speed rail line between Merced and Bakersfield? That being said, this was very politicly motivated, of that I have no doubt.
I don't think corporations are solely to blame. In Japan they use a lot of plastic packaging[0], and have a lack of public rubbish bins[1], yet they don't litter[2]. Can we not hold customers accountable as well for not disposing of their garbage properly, as they do in Japan?

And the added cost is.. .???
I suspect the real problem will turn out to be extremely deep and difficult. That human drivers drive not only with great pattern recognition around shapes, but also with an actual understanding of the idea of a truck and the idea of a tunnel and the idea of a sign. There is a substantial chance that will turn out full self-driving is a fully general, human level AI problem.

That said, even the existing partial self-driving is extremely useful. I would be hard-pressed to consider another brand of vehicle until the others catch up with this.
Yes, just without the guilt (since this means DDG is clearly okay with not making ad revenue off me)
That is an important feature. Not having to convince Google that your domain isn’t a spam cesspool is a major advantage of most any centralized blog/CMS platform (but especially one as major as Medium). Write.as doesn’t seem to work as well for this purpose yet, unfortunately.

And your English is plenty easy to understand, no need to apologize about that.

> And I can't vouch for all of Google, but regarding location data, Google has been pretty transparent regarding which data is collected and stored; papers like NYT covered it extensively - see [1].

How did you read that article and come away with the conclusion that Google has been "pretty transparent". The story was written after more than a year of other news outlets reporting on law enforcement using Google's location data to fish for suspects. Google has been providing this data for at least two years before the Times reported on it [0].

> And moreover, Google has been consistently on track to store less private data.

Such as credit card transaction data collected without most people's knowledge [1] or location data after you've explicitly told it not to [2]?

Technology companies need to understand that both words "informed consent" are important. We currently have very little in the way of choices when it comes to data collection. It is simply not possible to opt-out anymore without tremendous effort and personal cost. I like this quote from Maciej Ceglowski:

"A characteristic of this new world of ambient surveillance is that we cannot opt out of it, any more than we might opt out of automobile culture by refusing to drive. However sincere our commitment to walking, the world around us would still be a world built for cars. We would still have to contend with roads, traffic jams, air pollution, and run the risk of being hit by a bus. Similarly, while it is possible in principle to throw one’s laptop into the sea and renounce all technology, it is no longer be possible to opt out of a surveillance society."

Very nice with a simple wrapper. That said I’m wondering if 9 out of 10 use cases could do with something simpler, ie zeromq, which scales really well.
In the US we get our sugar from high fructose corn syrup unless we spend more to buy the imported Mexican Coke that's made with real cane sugar.

When I lived in Seattle, I always found it amusing that soccer moms would brag about buying Mexican Coke at Whole Foods like it was something special. They could just drive an hour north and buy Canadian Coke, which is also made with sugar, for half the price!
While many people may not care about a company's morals, they definitely will care about the reputation of a company in terms of how the company is perceived by the general population and others in the industry.
You jest, but that's not far from a good idea. You obviously don't need a blockchain, but you could do something like printing a UID on each bottle and scanning them before giving the refunds.
Again, you're kidding yourself. Even if you bought a new house today with no existing equity, you could easily afford $11K a month in mortgage. That's a house that's over $2M. And still have $10K a month left for other expenses.
They also fine you up to $5,000 and give you community service if you litter.
What on earth are you talking about? From the link you posted:

> Stories become eligible to be part of the metered paywall if the writer selects that option in each story’s distribution setting. Medium will never meter a story without the writer’s permission.

> During the publish flow, you have the opportunity to check the box to be eligible for curation review and distribution across Medium. Checking this box means that your story is also eligible to be part of Medium’s metered paywall, and can earn money if you are in the Medium Partner Program.
This is the HN state of mind, where the other is responsible for 100% of the world's problems, and individuals are completely ruled by passion and reptilian instinct.
i did before posting here, and could not find anything that might have indicated that i.e. non-socket-fd reads end up with coroutine like semantics...
Just find a link to any article you want to read by searching Twitter (or even tweet it yourself). t.co links always bypass the paywall.
Gen X Mess
Yes.

But unfortunately, it's infeasible to penalize them directly. And the panopticon required to do so would cause more harm than benefit. Ergo, we target upstream as the least bad solution.
Not just freedom of speech, supporting trumps new tariffs would have made you a pinko commie as little as 20 years ago, protests against global trade (like the battle of Seattle) had a sizable trade union contingent. So many that consider themselves left today seem to define it in opposition to what the right is doing, not from valuing egalitarianism.
Ultimately, the responsibility lies with the corporation if they are instilling a polluting culture that benefits them. There are edge cases in this argument of course, but in my opinion, a large number of companies produce mountains of wasteful unrecyclable packaging in the name of brand-building or low cost. They use this to bolster their business, and therefore they should be ultimately responsible for cleaning it up.
Maybe I’m a weirdo, but as long as I can remember, my family holds on to bottles and returns them to the market every couple of weeks.

Littering is a douche thing to do. There should be some social stigma attached to it.
I'm not sure I follow. Proxies don't have much time to reorder from an upstream on the first time writing through to their downstream. But once it's in their local cache it would become possible to apply the smallest-first logic, wouldn't it?
Mark Zuckerberg does not say he doesn't care about anyone's privacy in the article you cited "openly and repeatedly" or otherwise. I suppose you can infer that from the actions of the company he runs, but your citation does not support what you've said here. Someone reading your comment without reading the entire Guardian article could come away with an incorrect impression of what he's publicly said.
How? I chose to learn the things i learned outside of school and to an extent the things i chose to learn in both high school and university. I didn't have to learn those things. I could have spent my time watching tv or doing other things. I know the things i know because i spent time and effort learning them.
Wow... And there you go.
>I would put my chips on someone who has at least proven themselves academically.

everyone seems to be conflating academics with person-building in this thread.

Why don't these same people seem to have any problem with non-academic scholarships?

Here's the grand reason why it's a good idea to make schools mixing-pots : You can expose the really effective students to ideas and concepts that they may have never experienced, which they may use more constructively than other individuals.

In other words : Colleges need people that create the idea of Napster , but they also need the folks that can implement it. Both groups are only marginally effective without the other.

Similar line of philosophical questioning : 'Why do managers exist?'
Collectively, we did no such thing. Many individual researchers and journals refused to use Nazi research, but many felt that it was unethical not to use it if it could save lives. In particular, I believe that the results of Nazi hypeothermia experiments were extensively used after the war. It's certainly not a cut-and-dry problem with an obvious ethical answer.
Do you have a source for this "huge percentage"?
Some people live on boats in places with very cheap housing too. In fact most people who live on boats want to live on a boat...surprising I am sure...
That's definitely one of Medium's strengths and something I'd like to focus on when I find the time. I still have much reading to do about SEO in general.

LaTex, syntax/code was high on my priority-list while initially building my product since I wanted to primarily target technical writers.
If a bank did that, the regulators would shut it down in a heartbeat for redlining.
On the Model 3 at least I believe the sensor is based on torque. You have to apply turning pressure to the wheel. Just enough so it knows you’re there, not too much to disengage AP.

I find jiggling the volume wheel or the cruise speed wheel on the steering wheel up/down a click is more reliable because that won’t ever disengage AP.

I have no idea what they mean “did not detect hands on the wheel” because it doesn’t detect your hands on the wheel at all. It detects steering input on the wheel.
Was this anything more than just grading to a curve? Because yes, that has its ups and downs, but it's certainly not mysterious in any way.
Some people don't care about hoarding game discs or cartridge. I have drawers full of Nintendo Cartdrige, playstation 1, 2 and 3 discs, a few older xbox games, that I can't play anymore because the required console died, or they are back in my childhood home where I grew up. To be honest, I don't even want to play any of those games anymore, but if for some nostalgia infused reason I wanted to, I'd much rather they just be automatically available to stream on my TV or my laptop than having to spend hours tracking down all the required hardware for me to play a game that I'll most likely get bored with within an hour or two.

The same thing happened with movies, with some people wanting to hoard boxes and boxes of dvd, vhs or blurays, thinking that they are somewhat smarter than people who just pay some subscription (or digital rental) to stream whatever movies they want to watch when they want it, on the device they want to watch it on.
a little more than that - oregon has bags that can be returned full without counting and left in a secured room to have the money deposited to an account a few days later. given that these are typically at grocery stores and several of them add on a redemption percentage (fred meyer adds 20% for in-store credit use), the number of non-homeless making returns is high.
Same goes for Singapore. Crime to littler and also the culture there values cleanliness of the city. When I was there I almost never saw trash on the ground, ever. I once saw a plastic cup get blown off some lady's table and the next person who was working on the street who saw it picked it up and tossed it in the trash bin. Public trash bins are everywhere. Absolutely a world-class city in every sense of it.
I wonder if the opposite is true as well. That is, when theses sorts of discussions come up, I'm always asking: when is it over? When does the sacrifice stop? A person sacrifices for their kid for some nebulous better life, which their kid goes on to do for their kids...ad infinitum? However, through an evolutionary lens it make some sense: an individual doesn't have to have time to enjoy any advantage they've accrued through such previous sacrifice because evolution doesn't care if you're happy, just that you're reproducing successfully, and so far that's instilled (it's arguable) an instinctive sense to socially rise in order to obtain better access to such. So in such a sense there really would be no point of it being over (except for the extinction of the species). So why shouldn't someone in this great chain of sacrifice say no and kick their feet up and enjoy the fruits of all that sacrifice? This would explain why we (society at large and various specific social groups) treat the childless so negatively and use the term anti-natalist as a slur.

However, there is another component to it: one's advantage is always relative to others' lack of advantage. This is why equal access education will never be truly supported (no matter what people say); if all kids have the same advantage as their kids, then their kids don't actually have any advantage at all (in social terms).
This article begins with a fallacy based on "life expectancy", which is the expected age at death across all individuals. By far the highest mortality, historically, was under five mortality; life expectancy went up in the 20th century primarily because infants are now less likely to die. If you consider mortality after age 20 there has only been a ~10 year increase in life expectancy.
Imagine you are about to undergo a major surgery. Would you rather get operated by a surgeon that graduated from the medical school with A+, or by someone with a B who got the job instead because they came from a poorer neighborhood?
What is the complete list of factors? None of the news articles seem to have it.
Like China, the U.S. has a history of being victims of "unequal treaties" imposed by the British Empire. In fact, the Treaty of Nanking had a provision to ban Americans from the opium trade, which China helped the British to enforce.
From an individual's point of view: they also fine you up to $5,000 and give you community service if you get caught littering.
hmmm, there isn't anything specifically built in for something like that, but, I think it would work anyways. Example:

You can add as many envelopes as you want, and as many accounts as you want. So, you add all of the joint accounts and all of the personal accounts.

The accounts page will show the individual balances of each account as well as a combined total.

The envelopes will show the balance of each envelope as well as the combined total.

It'll just be up to you to put the income and transactions from each account into the envelopes you want them to go into.

I think this works, assuming I'm understanding your question correctly.
