Banked turns are a bigger issue.

However, judging by the window placement, the passengers furthest aft are maybe twice as far from the center of rotation compared to a widebody? That's far better than any other flying wing/blended wing concepts I've seen to date.

[edit] Also the traditional place for first-class travellers will be no further than in a widebody aircraft, so the people for whom the airlines actually care about comfort will be unaffected.
Mutable state is a common form of premature optimization
I’d say at the same point that others in the field would generally agree it’s fradulent. I’m not familiar enough with the field of word2vec to say if this is the case or not. But regardless, asking that the implementation be representative of the paper is a lot different than demanding docker containers and install scripts.
I would say the strongest example is wired telecom, which may not be a national monopoly but is certainly a local monopoly across nearly the whole country. The way the companies divvy up territory to avoid competition is probably what keeps U.S. prices so much higher than, say, Europe. I wonder if a case could be made for it being a cartel.

But yes, cellular and satellite providers have started to provide a saving grace of disruption in that market. We'll see if it ends up being enough.
Ah, seems like then it's possibly a bit of column A and a bit of column B. I'll defer to you on the correction though, I was merely speaking from third-hand/watercooler type discussions about aviation as someone who is just a passive enthusiast of airplanes.

If anyone is interested in learning more about the language or the project itself, you can contact me and I can put you in touch with the project owners.
That sounds speculative. Why will they lose revenue eventually? Do you think 40 years from now they will be in a worse position than today? After all, they are today in a better position than 40 years ago. Perhaps a privacy-focused company will actually perform better in a society obsessed with privacy, and eventually, their competitors who don't share these perspectives will be the ones that lose revenue.

All we can do is speculate.
IANAL, but I really don't think so. On a company laptop, the company owns the laptop, and the company can lock it down as much or as little as they want.

Internet shutdowns don't make anyone safer
Yes, but the article talks a lot about the former, and things we would expect to cause the former (such as the reduced fear response, this does show up in psychopaths as well) and only briefly mentions the hyper-trusting attitude - as if one could conflate both or as if the hyper-trust was just a natural consequence of the superficial charm. Though it makes sense that reduced fear + superficial charm + normal social emotions and affective empathy would make for an extreme amount of trust, to the point of being entirely unable to detect and manage social threats. In a way, if you're going to be fearless and superficially-charming, it might then be in your best interest to also be callous and to lack a standard empathy response, since that attitude (though quite damaging in very real ways, especially to the prospects for cooperation) would at least protect you from other social predators!

As someone who has been incredibly fortunate to be able to do pretty much whatever I want for the last 15 years I can tell you from personal experience: you can get sick and tired of pretty much anything and everything, and it happens a lot faster than you would expect (or at least a lot faster than I expected).

One of the really serious problems is that your brain generalizes, so once you get sick and tired of one thing, it's easier to get sick and tired of the next thing because your brain says, "Oh, this is kinda similar to this other thing that I already got sick and tired of."

Managing all this can be a real challenge. Not that I'm complaining, mind you, it's an incredibly nice problem to have, and I wouldn't trade it for the world (literally!) But even nice problems to have can still be real problems.

On a somewhat related note, I often wonder why Poincare is still considered the last of the Universalists/Generalists. I believe Von Neumann would be a strong contender to that title.
Exactly. A much better idea would be to have "security researcher" phones that Apple could sell to such, which would be rooted and tracked.
Great, then clearly your own personal benefit from owning Facebook stock outweighs any of your dignified moral outrage at Zuckerberg's conduct? I suspect that's why big tobacco is still around as well.

I have been at multiple big tech companies when the stock dropped 20% or more. These events trigger a flurry of media coverage by analysts declaring that said big tech company's reign is over and soon everything will turn to crap (which it doesn't).

But this causes immediate concern among the employees because this directly affects their annual RSU compensation and it causes concern in the leadership because it makes them look bad and they tend to be the sorts that need to look good.

IMO don't underestimate what coordinated dumping of Facebook stock could achieve here. It does seem like a bit of a prisoner's dilemma though. After the initial price drop, the stock will recover because Facebook isn't going away anytime soon. So from a pure greed standpoint, don't sell. But that's not what this is about, is it?

I used to be one using and praising ProtonMail, but after the Tesonet scandal turned me around. The worst evidence for me was their responses, how they were constantly calling it a "smear campaign by PIA", often not providing any plausible explanations. Duh, PIA published it and put work into raising public awareness. They are competitors, they found your dirty laundry and published it, duuuuh. Whoever discovered it, doesn't matter, they couldn't respond to the actual facts, only repeating the annoying combination of words "smear campaign". I don't trust a single VPN provider and would rather trust my exit point to my ISP which is regulated by local laws, rather then trusting it to god know whom god knows where. I would be happy to see the issues of Tesonet and their links to NordVPN and ProtonMail/VPN raised again!
Pretty sure the stock will spike in the short term and then go on an endless decline to 0 if they actually manage to kick him out. Most social companies stumble and fall, Zuck has proven to be insanely talented at seeing the future trends. Think about their push to be mobile first, the acquisition of instagram, whatsapp, social login, shift of engagement to groups and chat etc. They clearly missed the changes in people's perception about privacy over the last few years, but if the past is any guidance they will probably overcome that hurdle as well.

"The complaint further alleges that Kik marketed the Kin tokens as an investment opportunity. Kik allegedly told investors that rising demand would drive up the value of Kin, and that Kik would undertake crucial work to spur that demand, including by incorporating the tokens into its messaging app, creating a new Kin transaction service, and building a system to reward other companies that adopt Kin. At the time Kik offered and sold the tokens, the SEC alleges these services and systems did not exist and there was nothing to purchase using Kin."

Who even bought this stuff? Doesn't this throw up all the red flags of a scam ICO?
Since I started really playing with hardware/software integration (hobby level) a couple of decades ago, and also knowing what I learned from various efforts I've been involved in at employers to "bandaid patch" in security (ie, logins, passwords, access control, etc) - and how it never works out, I've since advocated for the implementation of security controls first, whether implementing a hardware and/or software solution, and one of those controls, if hardware is involved, should be a physical "all-stop" cut-the-power control, manifestly separate from any "software" (whether implemented in hardware logic or otherwise).

Design the security/safety system up front, for the task of the system being designed, for all potential failure modes - and then implement the first, and test the hell out of it, and document it thoroughly.

Unfortunately, this tends to get shot down, until it is needed, and then it gets bandaid-patched in place, because usually at the point it is needed, a whole refactor of the code base is usually called for, and we can't have that, so "just fix it" becomes the call of duty.

And it never works out properly. Things get missed, security is effectively out the window, until something happens, with the refrain of "why did this occur" and of course nobody wants to take the blame for "I told you so".

Unfortunately, even implementing such a security system first will only get you so far, and it is still possible that something might be missed, and potentially be the cause of a safety critical issue. But hopefully, most if not all of those extreme events can be caught first in the system, by some part of it, and what's left will be relatively minor.
>I don't know where I picked up the idea

It is possible that you might have been pre-conditioned to think that way by the colossal dental industry; which has put out a fair amount of graphic imagery ranging from the saccharine to alarming, surrounding various aspects of oral hygiene and endorsing a variety of bacteria destroying toothpastes & mouth-washes to plaque-hunting rotating brushes in multitude of configurations etc., which compounded by this topic appearing with some regularity on HN might be reinforcing some of your preconceived notions.

Regardless, maintaining basic oral hygiene should be de rigueur, despite how feasible or tenuous the link(s) to other conditions might be.
I've yet to see a telecom company tell anyone who they are allowed to communicate with or deny anyone service because they don't approve of their ideological views. That might only be tangential to antitrust issues but engaging in overreach is a good way to get the public against you which in turn makes it much easier for the government to come after you.
Coding is kind. The dichotomy is based on feedback availability, quality, and delay. While the environment does change over time, it continues to be kind: 99% of the time, you're able to hit compile and see instantaneous, accurate feedback. Doesn't matter which language, framework, or standard you're using (except maybe Malbolge). Even debugging is kind save perhaps for heisenbugs, but that's a bit of a stretch to declare the whole field a wicked environment.

The CPUs they're using are Cascade Lake, not Skylake. So I'd add at least about $500 there. You'll also need to add ~$300 for the giant 1400 watt PSU, and at least $500 for the custom cooling solution and case. Most PC cases are really not built that well.
That's kinda like being killed by jacked up car crushing person working on the car underneath. Nothing to do with radiation or software. With a static device where operator does not position the jack, the cause would be lack of mechanical maintenance or material failure (unlikely).

One must consider the fact that any conclusions drawn from state archives or on-the-ground investigations will be seen as biased one way or the other. Any evidence which exonerates the CCP will be accused of being manipulated CCP propaganda. Any evidence hinting otherwise will be accused of being pro-West fabrications. "Independent", multinational investigations are not immune either, for instance in the case of Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency inspections [1]. All you end up doing is preserving the status quo.

With the dearth of physical evidence, an objective conclusion will likely remain out of reach. Something definitely happened, and something bad. But to the extent of grinding up the bodies of 10,000 civilians into meat patties and hosing them down the drain bad? It is likely that we will never know the answer to that.

I find it interesting that most of the concerns are over privacy, which should not be understated. I am quite a bit more concerned about freedom of speech as platforms like Facebook and Twitter are increasingly censoring and increasingly lopsided portion of the population, and often under very nebulous circumstance. Yes, they've rolled back decisions after the backlash erupts, but for every mistake they roll back, how many are never resolved?

Twitter has already been judged as effectively a public square by the supreme court, and that politicians may not block the public. When do protections of speech and press extend to what are effectively privately owned public spaces as they do in the physical form?

I guess the distinction I'm drawing is between can ignore and does ignore.

Everyone who bought in knew, or should have known, that Zuckerberg had the power to ignore their votes. But in principle, that could have been limited to fending off raiders, mergers, or other harmful initiatives. By repeatedly demanding an executive chair to provide oversight, Trillium stresses the idea that Zuckerberg is using his majority vote to defend irresponsible leadership.

Will anything actually come of it? Probably not, but if FTC or SEC pressure amounts to something real it might position them better to gain influence over the company.

While I look forward to the outcome of this, it's worth noting that the SEC has claimed that "airdrops", or simply giving away tokens to others for free, should also be considered securities, as well as "pre-mines", where you mine cryptocurrency before the public receives it. The SEC has an ever expanding view of what it should be responsible for regulating. I cannot understand how issuing a digital asset without receiving any money could fail the Howey Test.

I can't think of a single (non-malicious) rational cause for requiring code signing by default and making the requirement impossible for the user to disable.

I enjoy taking ML work and pondering what it might look like in the context of human education.

Imagine human physics education with meta-learning characteristics. Having to classify problems. No more "here are numbers for solid Argon... apply the ideal gas law" clueless plug-and-chug. Developing a sense for reasonable values. Encountering unfamiliar problems. Thus developing skills of rough quantitative reasoning, and of system decomposition and characterization. Encountering descriptions of unfamiliar problem domains. And having to extract understanding from them.

With human science education at present, even correct labeling and baseline models, let alone transference, are distant, distant dreams. But even thus shackled and buried, visualizing dance might have value, if it supports improved recognition of opportunities and preparation for escape.

For example if I wanted to purchase internet, I have a choice of two providers. If I don't choose either of those two, I cannot have internet.

For search providers, I have a choice among a much larger variety. Google may have larger market share, but you're not locked into using Google like you are with your ISP.

There's a difference between having multiple potentially inferior choices and only having two choices full stop. In my experience living across multiple states now you don't have a choice of ISP.
