The difference with the "new" dark mode on Windows, MacOS and now iOS/ipadOS is that it's a system wide setting. Apps and even websites can (or rather should) support it. How many hours would you have spent modifying themes, creating new css rules or installing extensions in browser to get those results before? And you'd still not be able to do so with most apps/software.
wow. i came here to post a few snarky comments. strangely happy to see others have beat me to it.

This seems to generate mostly word salad. I haven't been able to find an artist (even one of the recommended artists like Drake) that it generates intelligible lyrics for. It seems to grab existing lyrics from other songs and mash them together, but it's not doing a great job of it.

In Cincinnati, it's illegal to ride a bike on a sidewalk, which makes sense, it's not very pleasant for the cyclist or pedestrians. The result is that bicyclers ride in the street. You'll regularly get harassed for riding in the street, even when you're all the way to the right, or people will just open their door right into the lane when they street park. It's really difficult to travel with bicycles safely in a medium - large US city.

It does not, as we can experience every day...
It is not really happening though. The most egregious case was the EPA "removing" some references. But bad as it was, they were only removing links from the home page, making the data less prominent. Reports and information on global warming were, and still are available on the EPA website.

yes. this one does. just talk to the people involved.
Who cares ? I just want 100% low CO2 energy. If they just buy the same quantity of renewable energy credit that they used, it is misleading because it does not cover their usage around the clock.

“Just purchasing more solar energy in a grid that already has lots of solar generation will not result in zero emissions,”

“To guarantee 100 percent emissions reductions from renewable energy, power consumption needs to be matched with renewable generation on an hourly basis,”

https://energy.stanford.edu/news/100-renewables-doesn-t-equa...

At one point they will have to stop with "renewable" and accept nuclear and the low carbon label (on an hourly or minute basis).

It's great that focus has finally been put on bike accessibility within a community, but the problem still stands that in the US it's nigh impossible to safely leave a community on bike. Many suburbs are laid out in way such that highways and roads with no shoulders are the only way out of the community.
One thing caught my eye any clue what a Microphone is doing on a device like that?

God is good, by definition. It's just built into the Christian belief system. Men can do evil, but God can't. The question of how evil can exist at the same time as an all-benevolent God is such a hard problem that it even has a nifty name.

> You're saying that like it's a bad thing. I find that these "semi-vacations" do a lot to recharge my batteries, which is very helpful to my productivity in the long run.

Nothing's wrong with semi-vacations. But we might as well be open about it and provide an actual vacation and do it in a less carbon intensive way.

Let's say if a company instead of paying for a conference, just gave you a few days off and cash in hand. How would you spend it?
Isn't the solution to this just to have a connection from tap to sewer if a certain flow rate is not maintained?

> description of the fundamental technology that a spam filter uses

Privacy-centric email providers don't retain any data from your emails after scanning for spam. Gmail does, and in unexpected places that I keep discovering and hearing about, and as far as I know, there is no Gmail switch to say, "Do the spam filtering but don't keep any data".

> google is only showing this to me, this information will not be shared

They can easily change their own policy on that, and they regularly do change their policy. Also, as you already mentioned, they'll share it after a subpoena. I don't want them to have or keep that data at all.
Smarkets | Full Time | ONSITE (London, UK; also Downtown LA, California)

We're a modern betting exchange, going technology first to enable proper price competition in a field of fat commissions. Join a small, agile, and fast-growing team, in our beautiful office in St. Katharine Docks. If our US location tickles your fancy, you get to help setting up a brand new office too.

Smarkets develops a reliable, low-latency, highly concurrent betting exchange based on trading exchange designs. We're also building a fast, modern web interface to allow for a smoother experience. Servicing our users is top priority.

The Smarkets platform is written predominantly in Python, Erlang (being replaced with C++) and Javascript for React, relying heavily on asynchronous programming techniques. The tech stack sports Kafka, Postgres and increasingly Kubernetes. We use REST where we can. Life at Smarkets circles around people, version control, configuration management and automation. We can - and do - deploy to production several times a day.

Our entire production is in AWS. In fact, Smarkets was the first gambling operator under the Maltese regulator to get permission to run everything in the cloud. We push the envelope where needed and educate auditors when necessary.

We are looking for engineering talent in the following roles:

* [Senior] Front-end Engineer - React; London & LA
* Data Engineer; London
* Infrastructure Engineer; London
* Senior Security Engineer; London
* Quantitative Developer; London
* Low-Latency C++ Engineer; London
* Rust Developer
* Generalist Software Engineer; London & LA
* [Senior] Mobile Developer; LA

And yet another breach where the affected victims did absolutely nothing wrong, nor can they do anything to prevent it from happening in the future, and yet they will shoulder the entire burden of the fallout, while the responsible company will suffer no consequences whatsoever.
Interesting how quickly this fell off the front page (saw it earlier, then came back to find the link and it was already off the first 3 pages). Is that due to a large number of up/downvotes in the same time?

I googled that Cisco case as well. One of their big claims was a copypasted impl of... strcmp.
This depends on what you mean. There are features (that many people find useful, even!) that depend on "mining your email for receipts". For example, I get push notifications that I have bill payments due, and flights and events that I register for are automatically added to my calendar. A similar feature, "trip bundles", which would group flight/hotel/car rental information for a logical single trip was available in inbox, and was one of the many features that inbox users complained about losing when Inbox was merged back into gmail.

And of course, Gmail's business model doesn't really rely on mining your email receipts. Gmail data isn't used to target ads. So unless by business model, you mean the features, Gmail basically meets your requirements ;)
Spreadsheets are good and fine until they're not (fine-grained permissions, collaboration, referential integrity and validation enforcement, multiple data source aggregation and ingestion, easy visibility into history and auditing, features that Excel has but people don't want to learn, etc).

All of the things you just mentioned could be handled using just two mechanisms:

1) An extremely low friction way of flowing data to/from spreadsheets
2) Automated publishing/versioning

If a particular piece of automation for flowing data between and in/out of spreadsheets is the lowest friction for users, then that will be the way they use by default. Then that software will be able to provide collaboration, fine-grained permissions, referential integrity, validation enforcement, multiple data source aggregation, ingestion, and auditing. Tracking versions takes care of the rest. The trick isn't providing all of those facilities. We've known how to do that for many years. The trick is to provide all of those with near zero friction.

What's needed is something like Dropbox, plus dataflow. Just let users save their files, and it gets versioned and uploaded into "staging" for the dataflow part without their having to do anything. Then, as people start running into issues of scaling, enforcement, etc, enable them to start incrementally adopting more administration features -- all while preserving the transparent "it just works" magic of their just saving the file.
this is "who wants to be hired?" i think you meant to post in the "who is hiring?" thread.
Mainstream press doesn't like to call the government out on bald-faced lies, because then they get cut off from government information sources.

This is currently happening with the White House. Nobody has enough of a spine to be sufficiently critical of the firehose of garbage that it broadcasts, because their press correspondent credentials will be revoked.
In a hypothetical reality where they are not slaughtered so early in their life cycle just because humans want something that tastes more interesting than grain, I could agree with that sentiment. That's not the reality we live in, however.

DeepMind’s plan to make AI systems reliable, and how to succeed in ML research
It wasn't always the case where hacking computers could be done without consequence. In the beginning a great war was conducted by the original MIT hackers against university officials who were trying to pry control of the system away from them.

Similarly, it's the dream of every hacker to find a sandbox world where they can experiment to their heart's content. These government and society hackers as much as anyone.

There have been examples throughout history of 'partial sovereignty', the one closest to mind is that of the Native American nations in the US. They're sovereign in most of the ways that matter while still retaining the ability to bring in the grownups when things get serious.

The other example I can think of is the British concept of political devolution, whereby four independent countries with their own governments fit neatly into the collective United Kingdom, whereby the countries can demand ever greater self-rule through democratic process. This is how Ireland became both the Republic of Ireland and the UK country of Northern Ireland arose. What's now the Republic of Ireland wanted a complete break, while Northern Ireland still wants to be a part of the UK.

This is different from the federal system that most countries use, where provinces are forever subordinate to the larger collective. There is no political process available for secession in the US or most anywhere else except the UK, so demands for self-governance usually result in nothing or in civil war.

We should greatly encourage people to experiment with new political structures, and we can look to the Brits for inspiration on how to make that work. They tolerated Sealand until the whole project collapsed under its own weight. Which is pretty much how you want it to happen. War is the usual instrument by which new sovereignties are created. A peaceful way to blow away political cruft has great potential to eventually improve a lot of lives. It's been shown that the primary thing that keeps many people in perpetual poverty is rules, it's the founding principle behind the concept of charter cities.

There's room for experimentation here.

Is collision with a cyclist really a safety risk for an automobile driver? A minor ding for a car is a fatality for a cyclist
It depends. Complexity creeps up easily in ML systems. A kitchen-sink of gazillions of algorithms (and code bases) in an ensemble creates a very brittle system I wouldn't want to deal with.
> There's no reason why someone couldn't create a GMail clone with both of those features on parity but with a business model that doesn't involve mining your email for receipts.

Implementing the first two features well requires lots of users. Users you won't get if your service is less useful in assistant features for purchases.
That's a pretty dumb point of view. It says right at the top of the page on Google's purchase history list that "Only you can see your purchases". A rational person needs some kind of basis to refute this claim.

Wearing a helmet increases your chance of death on a bike according to the statistics.

I personally don't, I feel less safe wearing one. I can't locate cars as accurately with audio with one on my head, the extra weight makesy head turn slower, and I think subconsciously left often. Drivers pass more aggressively and illegally (most drivers passing break the law here that requires a meter seperation when passing a cyclist, but they break it 'more' by coming closer when I wear a helmet).
What common scenario do you envision where version control is useful?
The cubes are only slightly radioactive and don't pose a health concern, according to Koeth. Since uranium is so dense, "It winds up shielding itself," he said. "The radiation you measure from it is only coming from the surface."

Interesting, and answered the first question the popped into my mind when hearing about uranium cubes: are they dangerous?

I wonder how much rider skill and experience has to do with it. I've been biking in city traffic for a long time and have had a few crashes and close calls but not so much recently. The worst situations (e.g. getting cut off by right-turners or cars entering from the right) can be made less risky by defensive riding practices.
It is a matter of the larger injured party as opposed to mere hate. Lets use Martians as a detached from real world context.

* If you crucify someone you are a depraved murderer who killed the victim.

* If you crucified say a martian over say how often they mowed their lawn it would be hatred related and psychopathic but not a hate crime.

* If you crucified a martian and wrote "Go back to Mars!" in their blood then you not only murdered them but also threatened the entire Martian community and that would be a hate crime. That is why it is a separate crime on top of it.
Wait, then why are you here?
