I disagree with this.

There are many spaces that can be maintained either publicly or privately that when privatized don't always result in the best outcomes for consumers. A good example are private utilities.

I had a relative that sold his house in a municipality in east Texas and moved to a new development in central Texas. He intentionally chose a house just outside the nearest municipality to avoid paying local taxes. It all seemed great until he got his first water bill from the private water company, only to find that his water bill was astronomically higher (2.5-3x more). His other private utilities were a little higher than what he paid previously, but he was particularly upset about the water.

The water company isn't some multinational corporation, but they have a profit incentive, zero competition, and they control the water infrastructure, so the community there doesn't have much leverage in that scenario.

Well, I am Chinese and people cannot tell me apart from whatever Asian country I happen to be in. In fact, visiting Taiwan, people frequently mistake me for Japanese or Korean even though I don't say a word. And having stayed in Japan for extended periods of time no one has presumed I was Chinese before I opened my mouth.

If you're a tourist, you're very likely to carry certain cultural mannerisms or clothing that give you away, but otherwise stripped down naked there's very small physical differences.

If the foreign Chinese or Korean person has assimilated (learned the language), you would hard pressed to tell.

Masayoshi Son, the richest Japanese person, is ethnically Korean, and he had switched his last name back to his Korean surname so that he could be recognized as a Korean.

Much of what you perceive to be differences in phenotype among Asians are usually geographical or culturally acquired differences. For example many people think that Filipinos must have dark skin, or that if you have fair skin you must come from Japan or South Korea, but in reality that has more to do with how much sun those respective cultures manage to avoid, and skin-care products.

I no longer care about Rust anymore because of their lang team's await syntax decision process. It seems the team only cares about satisfying themselves rather than listening to the community's concern. Whenever users spoke about problems proposed by the team, they simply dismissed them saying the concern doesn't contain any new information.

With this lang team, I think Rust is going to die quickly. It doesn't worth investment to learn it.

Ooh, I thought your post was a response to the binary-counting one but it's a sibling to yours—my comment was referencing that. In a binary-based arithmetic system of fixed number of bits, counting up from 000 to 111 is isomorphic with counting from 111 down to 000 if you flip all the bits.

From what I gathered, this sounds more like it happened because he is somewhat grating as an individual, as opposed to a political statement.

He would have probably been better off pulling a Snowden and disappearing into Hong Kong for a while...
To expand, he exposed war crimes. But he also exposed a bunch of unrelated, not-war-crime stuff due to his refusal to redact. Contrast that with e.g. Snowden or the Panama Papers leakers, who disclosed information more carefully.
>observers claimed he was delusional to think he would be charged with a capital crime (meaning he could be executed if convicted), because that would violate the terms of any extradition.

While the Foreign Office may insist that we will never extradite if there is a possibility of the death penalty, the Home Office on the other hand can take it upon themselves to waive that requirement and have apparently done so recently in another case, so it is possible and the UK is quite prepared to say that it isn't, while doing it - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-44929067

Oh, my bad. I thought those were abstracted away.

Still though, any int can get as large as you like by default, no weird -n suffix (that I never saw in any other language -- just like most of Javascript's other recently added syntax, by the way, it's the new Perl).

I do wonder where I got this notion of Number. Is there some other language that has this?

Unfortunately due to the death of net neutrality, you find wherever you host your repository, there's more latency and network dropouts, and if you want to share your code only users with "Full Access" tiers at their ISP can view it - all the poor people on the cheap "Basics" accounts are stuck with a generic set of "Inclusions" which don't include your personal hosting choices.

Dejected, you try and start a grass roots movement to open up the internet again, but due to the illegality of encryption the algorithms know and detect the subtle shifts in your social graph and semantic changes in demeanour. Late one evening, you hear a knock on your door. No one is there when you answer it, but you look down to see a small paper envelope. A quaint anachronism.

Inside are photos of your friends and family at home, at work, dropping their kids at school. You turn to the last photo and it's a frame from a webcam - your webcam. A small picture-in-picture overlay shows a particularly disturbing frame from an illegal porno. You don't recognise it, and you were always careful to cover up your camera for "personal" time, so you suspect a deep fake.

Your phone vibrates. A notification from the bank: "Your account is overdrawn." Your life savings are gone. Your phone vibrates again. This time it's a message. "This is your only warning. If you continue to fight the system, it will destroy you." You swipe to see who sent the message, but suddenly the screen goes black and your phone refuses to reboot.

The sun is coming up now. A flock of android sheep swoop through the air, bleating electronically. You drop the envelope and its contents in the nearest recycling bin, step to the edge of your cloud-home, and cast your body to the mercy of the under-dwellers far below.

This would criminalize a huge amount of investigative journalism in the United States. Journalists who work in this field solicit classified information all the time. They cultivate connections inside government, and ask for information. They aren't all just sitting back and waiting for sources to fall into their lap. When sources do come to them, they encourage those sources to share more information. That's how the business works, and if the US government wins its case against Assange, that business will be illegal.

Which is irrelevant, because they'd manufacture some other charge to get him on.

Different people said different things.

What I thought, and still think, is that the idea that Assange would be executed is absurd. I also thought that the idea of Assange being whisked away to "black site" is absurd.
The best way to look at total light gathered is to talk about the aperture diameter, not f-ratio. The f-ratio is what it is; it doesn't make sense to multiply it or divide it to 'compensate' for different aperture diameters. You should just use the aperture diameter at that point.

And an f/4 for any size format will be gathering the same amount of light per sensor area. It's just that the sensor area is larger on larger formats, so the total amount of light (but not light per pixel!) is more. This is why telescopes have such wide apertures; they're limited by total amount of light.
Exactly. Mentioned briefly in the article (e.g., the habituation of chimpanzees to researchers), but the idea of non-human "culture" has been strange to/dismissed by researchers for some time, only because we did not have enough data to understand the diversity of their behavior. This is almost certainly an example of researchers simply getting new (and interesting!) data.

Why? That wasn't known when the voting lists were made, and when it came out, they weren't able to remove him, because lists cannot be changed once finalized. There's just nothing they can do because that's the law.

I mean, I'm certainly not going to vote for them because they are far, far away from me politically, but imho their reaction to the whole affair was correct and shouldn't be held against them.
I am exceedingly skeptical about digital voting systems being adequately secure.

Which ironically is what caused me to cancel my Netflix subscription. I initially subscribed mainly for the older movies & B movies that were abundant, but as other streaming services have started many of these have fragmented (and many of them just aren't available). About 3 months ago I cancelled Netflix (kept prime for shipping, Youtube premium for ad-free) when I realized that between the 3 services I couldn't even find The Maltese Falcon on 2 of them, and amazon wanted something ludicrous like $13 to rent it. Not exactly an unknown movie.

I had zero problems torrenting it, and no no moral qualms about it; I'm pretty sure all the actors & crew are dead by now and not recieving any more royalties, plus I have it on DVD but I hadn't ripped it to my NAS & don't have anything that can play DVD's connected to the TV.

Additionally...

> Free speech doesn't cover the theft of dangerous, classified information and potentially treasonous activities.

Treason [noun]: The crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government.

He didn't betray his county. He's not a U.S. citizen.

He didn't try to kill any sovereign. The U.S. doesn't have a monarch, and to the best of my knowledge, he hasn't tried to assassinate any sitting president.

There is no evidence that the leaking of evidence of war crimes would overthrow the government. It would probably see a lot of people fired, but given the structure of the U.S. Government, it's nigh on impossible to overthrow a government. Even for something as egregious as war crimes.

So using the word treasonous is a stretch.
I think a friend of mine said he was in a meeting back when Javascript was being standardized. Mike Cowlishaw proposed that Javascript use REXX's Decimal type instead of IEEE 754.

Everyone thought that was a really bad stupid idea.
Interesting. Perhaps my idea of this being inserted in to existing algorithms would not work.

However I do ultimately seek a low accuracy “visually approximate” 3D scene that I could use for simulation purposes. I guess I could rephrase my desire as: I’d love to see this kind of approach used to train an end to end deep learning photogrammetry system. I feel like the parallel nature of neural nets as well as their ability to approximate results could result in a much less computationally intensive solution to my photogrammetry desires.

(I want to train my four wheel drive robot to follow forest trails using the training method described in the “world models” research paper, which requires a simulation to work.)

My personal anecdata is that I started saving more money and contributing more to my 401K after I got a substantial raise from switching jobs.

Before that? The majority of my income went to expenses and keeping my head above water. There are plenty of people who are irresponsible, yes. But I'm guessing there are many more who are just trying to pay the rent, bills, etc. to stay off the street.

Android didn't innovate those. Per-application sandboxing was the default in capability systems since the 60s, and became more widely deployed in the OLPC Bitfrost security model, and even had a deployment in HP labs' Polaris Windows NT-based environment for virus safe computing. These two projects informed the early Android security model IIRC.

Yes, this is called a "quantum non-demolition measurement" and has actually been done. One technique is to use highly excited atoms (Rydberg atoms) which are extremely sensitive to external electric fields. In this way, the field caused by a single photon can be detected without absorbing the photon. There is a famous paper from Serge Haroche's group where they used this method to detect the presence of single microwave photons in a superconducting cavity (https://www.nature.com/articles/nature05589).
However, the measurement still collapses the wavefunction of the system. Performing a QND measurement to determine which slit the photon takes in a double-slit experiment simply destroys the interference pattern.
The correct answer to someone who insists upon "proper addition" is 10/21 and for it to be annoyingly slow so that they learn to be sure if they really care about "proper addition" or are just being awkward.

If you mean how should the machine do that, it can find the least common multiple of 3 and 7 (which is 21) and then convert both fractions to be in that denominator, then simplify if possible. This is, as I said, annoyingly slow, but if you want "proper" answers that's what you got.

I wouldn't bother because I'm aware that _Almost All Real Numbers are Normal_ and so they're usually completely impossible to express in this fashion anyway and we should stop our foolish pretence that you can add non-integers together and expect to get "correct" answers just because it can be done for some easy cases.

It's not an exclusive or. Assange worked with a number of people (including Manning) to obtain classified information. Some of that classified information detailed war crimes. Some did not; some of it was diplomatic cables, lists of informants, etc. Publishing the latter stuff almost certainly got people killed. Maybe we can agree to forgive him for the portion of the espionage which exposed war crimes, but I see no reason he should be given blanket immunity for everything he's done.

I was ready to make this exact same reply - the convenience and popularity of Spotify is exactly why the current copyright environment fails the consumer and why What.cd existed for more noble reasons than "let's rob the record labels." That failure extends past just cloud streaming, because huge swathes of What.cd can't even be acquired physically either - good luck finding that beat tape J Dilla handed out on cassette at shows in 1997 Detroit, that indie electronic album that was pressed to vinyl once, etc.

I love Spotify too! But it is a perfect example of how copyright law gatekeeps the creative media we can consume, for reasons purely inherent to the system and not attributable to any individual's malice. Nobody set out to create an ubiquitous streaming service that's missing music people could love, it's simply impossible to create something else legally.
Pretty much, yeah. I'm using the a7iii and the a6400 with the 100-400 GM. Only way to reach any longer on all-sony is by adding a teleconverter to the mix. At any rate, it's fairly common advice to use e.g. a 7D mk2 for wildlife even if you're mostly a 5D user.
Do people really pirate music much anymore? It feels that Spotify and similar services won over piracy except in a few edge cases.
