It is easy to see how this would be used in India. I have seen multiple instances of a police officer directing traffic walk up to a motorcycle stopped for cross traffic, reach out and turn off the motorcycle and take the key. When the driver hands over the money the officer hands back the keys. Quick transaction, likely too quick to realize the note was a 0 rupee note. Once saw this happen so close that the officer smiled at me as he took the money right outside my car window.

Apple swindles, manipulates and mistreats developers to further their own ends.

It's perhaps less evil than the kind of wholesale data-farming the other big tech companies are engaged in, but it still doesn't make me like the idea of Apple ascendant.

And I was raised on Macs, giving Apple a heavy nostalgia bonus that they burned years ago.

For years I have been putting off buying another iPad until they have this feature. Guess I'm still waiting.
It may be that Facebook does not want to show articles in its news feed with the "disinformation" tag attached.

For the government to be more transparent, I suppose you could just publish the articles you marked as disinformation, and let people debate whether they were truly fake or not. Doing nothing, right now, does not seem like an option, in the face of propaganda coming from other countries.
I commute through Seattle from the ferry dock to south lake union. I could technically do it in two turns, but that wouldn't be great in terms of avoiding hills, avoiding streets with heavy traffic (i rode on denny during commute once, not going to happen again), and avoiding the damn trolley rails (also, not going to touch westlake where the trolley is again either).

I don't choose to ride on 2nd ave, because it's too different for the one or two blocks I could be on it, and the transitions are hard. It's a much better idea than some of the other protected lanes I see on my route though. I can't imagine it's worth it for me to go up and down Marion to use it though. (Western is a much nicer slope)

> No one is saying monopolies are immortal

But they do! They main complaint about monopolies is that they're impossible to outcompete.
That’s not how antitrust law works. It’s not a test of whether a company exerts too much control over its own customers. It’s a test of whether customers have some alternatives and a real opportunity to vote with their dollars.
I don't know anyone that keeps their samples / data on their main drive. Most have external thunderbolt enclosures.
That was a great one-sentence reality check.
Only if you want to see the worst in people.

The bribe accepting police is also, in many cases, not doing this out of malice. Police financing in India is pretty fucked up, and I find it surprising how we have a functioning society with such underfinanced and overworked police, even in the well to do urban areas.

Anyways if you are the police in that situation, it makes much more sense to let the "activist" sort of guy, who has gone to the trouble of procuring such notes, go away and just wait for the next sucker to show up. Creating a scene which will definitely get you attention, and fired/suspended is a more stupider course of action.
Disregard my last speculation, elections are in 2020, not 2019.
Oh no, it says "dus rupay". It doesn't transliterate it. That would be weird :)
Now it's even worse, we have the FAANG monopoly:

Five monopolies at the same time!!
So you think Oxford Dictionary, Wikipedia, and Investopedia are all too narrow with words?

Control of the demand side of a market is called a Monopsony, not Monopoly. It's mentioned in the thread above, more info here: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/monopsony.asp
Calling it iPadOS feels like a step in the wrong direction for that. Calling it iPadOS could make people say "This is an iPad, not a Mac", whereas iOS is a more natural merger.
I would like to see Paypal added to the list.
Although, part of this monopoly is a very high regulatory barrier of entry for Paypal competition.
But they should look if paypal engages into practices 'steer' regulators (or politicians) to not to allow others in.

I also thought about Ebay monopoly, however we have newEgg and Amazon, and unless they are setting up barriers for others to entry, or fixing prices, or coordinating to black-list certain business/consumers -- I doubt that they will be looked at.
> what good is it if it's not reproducible?

I am one of those people who actually did the extra weeks/months to properly test/review/document/release my code and data sets (you can apt-get install my "research artifacts").

In retrospect, it was a poor use of my time and a poor use of my sponsoring institution's time. "apt-get install" is NOT what we mean by "reproducible" in science.

High-quality or easy to install code is not necessary for a result to be reproducible. True reproduction would mean coding the algorithm from scratch by following the written description, and that's what it literally means in most other fields of science.

You can't download & install a Large Hadron Collider in an afternoon. Does that mean the LHC experiments are "not reproducible"? Of course not.

But that's not even the important point. The really important point is that, in most cases, high-quality code is not even sufficient for a result to be reproducible! See: the article we're discussing.

IMO, the "blindly rerun the code" definition of reproduction is actually a HUGE barrier to creating a true culture of reproducability in computer science. It results in super lazy reviewing where "public source code that's easy to install and puts the correct-sounding shit into STDOUT" becomes a stand-in for "paper actually describes a novel idea in enough detail that it can be truly reproduced".

> So what is the optimal outcome here?

An optimal allocation of scientists' time and effort.

As a scientist who has actually done that leg work, I don't think packaging code so that it runs with a single click is the best use of public money in science in 99.9999% of cases. That time is much better spent on writing and other dissemination explaining the ideas that make the code work (in some cases well-documented source code is the best description but in other cases prose is much more effective and illuminating). Or on coming up with new ideas that are even better than the old ones.

Which I guess is just another way of saying that scientists should spend their time on science, not engineering.

P.S. When shitting on "scientists" for not being good enough software engineers, please remember who's going to be doing the actual work you're demanding. It's mostly phd students who make $30K/yr. And they have to do this work in their free time because their 60 hr/wk day job is fully allocated to doing the actual science. I.e., treat scientists who maintain their code as you would treat FOSS contributors who are making 5x-10x+ less than you while working longer hours. Because maintaining high-quality code is something they are almost certainly doing in their free time.
>> I want one single platform with all of the content.

Startup idea: what is really needed is an aggregation service similar to RSS for video. I agree, I don't want to waste my limited time checking multiple sites, which is the real value of my YouTube subscriptions tab. Trouble is, it's only that one site. Instead of another platform, what would actually be useful is a site which would aggregate my YouTube subscriptions with other platforms. The extra friction of checking an additional site just guarantees I will start ignoring the content.
The point was being made that your "been to Brazil" bar is far too low.
I don't think it's possible to make Hackintoshes impossible unless Apple stop supporting key hardware like Intel processors and controller hubs.
This is the exact opposite of how I feel. SwiftUI will be much better for that scenario.
You should look into the efforts of people trying to get a public audit of where that money goes. At that budget (now doubling), lots of companies and non-profits live on that. And some homeless.
I have to imagine that there is a market out there for SAFE low-ish budget content created to distract kids. I can imagine a "youtube kids" but where every video has actually been vetted by a responsible adult.
What's more interesting than the answer to that question is the question itself. People live that way, taking it as granted, without ever asking. Merely putting the question before them is illuminating for them. In terms of actually asnwering, I do not have to go beyond what you have said, "it's taken on a life of its own ... part of it now", though I am prepared to dwell more into the history.

Btw, the students find that question a lot more exciting than the others. Perhaps talking about the opposite sex is subconsciously more appealing to them, especially at that age.
Firebase devops (yeah no1 talks about it until you need it)
Or we could talk about how we have a problem where a certain % of the population can't house themselves, and the rest of us pay more in prisons and ambulances than other cities do in housing them and avoiding the high costs of prison and ambulances.

No one said free.

But no. The thought of someone getting help triggers you emotionally. So you use sarcasm and exaggerations to have to avoid a topic where you probably don't have the data to back your argument.
But someone who has already signed up via FB is going to click that button and then get angry when we can’t log them into their account.

I personally don’t use FB login. And I use `+merchant` to keep track of bad actors. But from a merchant perspective this will likely be a chore. And Apple has decided that we don’t get to decide if it’s worth it. We can’t disable FB login because we’ve supported it for a long time and a ton of accounts only have a FB-synced profile.

To be clear, it’s not the product I have issue with. It’s the draconian ultimatum that because we are in bed with FB we have to also get in bed with Apple Sign In.

They could have just built this into their form system. It already recommends my personal email / credit card / auto generated password. Why not prepopulate / suggest an Apple-generated email? Why force the merchant to implement another standard which breaks all other SSO integrations _by design_?

I don’t have answers to those questions. If this was a consumer feature embedded into their keyboard I’d be ecstatic. Strong arming merchants to implement and bear the full cost of confused consumers who can’t seem to login to their app _even when they click the Apple button_ is inexplicable (to me).
> Man am I tired of hearing "the US is too big, too different, too whatever" when it comes to social policies. Social policies don't have to be implemented at a federal level.

Why is it only bought up for social policies? Why is the size and ethnic makeup never a barrier to starting a war or lowering taxes? It seems to mostly just be a lazy excuse to avoid $thingIDontWant.

It's also implicitly a white supremacist argument, "we can't have nice things because we have ethnic minorities".
Well, in Rio, I believe life in favela truly is horrible for most of the time. I can think of a few reasons:

- Lack of decent public education

- Lack of decent healthcare

- Lack of basic infrastructure, in a lot of favelas, they don't even legally have electricity

- Jobs are scarce, favela's citizens usually endure long commutes under the very inefficient public transport system to work low-paying jobs

- Rio's favelas are usually located in hills, when it rains, landslides are very common, more often than not they are deadly

- Most favelas are dominated by heavily armed drug dealers (most of their weaponry are semi-auto rifles coming from the USA), law-abiding citizens often see themselves under gunfire between rival gangs or cops

- Citizens are often extorted by drug dealers, or even corrupt cops. They need to pay a "protection tax" in exchange for basic services

I could go on and on ...

Leveraging their status as the controller of the platform to require support for their solution is not the same thing as their solution competing head to head with other solutions.

Note that I'm not making an argument about how to classify the behavior legally, I'm arguing that calling it "competing" is pretty generous.

This is Apple sensing weakness and dropping a bomb right on facebook’s doorstep. And they sidestep the anticompetitive angle by arguing that instant anonymous sign on is simply a better UX, which it is.

> if you tried to implement the ideas described in the paper yourself, and I mean really tried, and contacted the authors for help, and still failed to achieve the claimed results.

This is the actually important definition of "reproducible".

"has an install.sh" is really nice, but it's far more important that an informed reader can recreate the artifact for themselves from the written description.

The "must be able to apt install or it's not real science" is a particularly dangerous path to go down. It's how you end up with e.g. shit loads of well-engineered LISP or FORTRAN code with no actual scientific insights or knowledge transfer. Which has actually happened in the past. A lot.
The "ethnically homogenous" argument is just a thinly veiled claim that "we can't do it in the US because of minorities".
I thought so as well, but articles I've found (eg [0]) seem to indicate Lichthupe can actually kinda be used when overtaking. But I doubt most people on the road use it this way. Flashing your lights till the lane is clear certainly isn't legal.

You're committing the same fallacy as the other responder. This bar is THE LEAST of the thresholds, not THE LAST of them. You're misconstruing the comments to which you're responding.
They run a network of containerized linux machines.

On a serious note: why doesn't Apple do any modern container/virtualization?

For example, why can't you set up containers for different versions of xcode and build your code in the appropriate one? or farm it out?
Regardless of how much "stress" you want, you should always stay in the left-most lane that you can be in unless you are overtaking somebody. I used to go 220km/h or 130mp/h in a modified Golf 2 back in the day and even at that speed you should always move over if you can. If someone is tailgating you, you are in the wrong lane.
Not well known is that Heron's performance claims in the "flying faster" blog and SIGMOD paper were made by comparing against a fork of an older (pre apache) version of Storm even though much more performant version was already out.

IMO (biased?) Heron makes surprisingly poor design choices for their key distinguishing features like threading model and backpressure. And it shows when you benchmark it. More specifics:

You can be productive, but it produces a lot of bad externalities, like news websites that load 30 trackers and drain the user's phone battery.
The effective cost implications are more likely 10-12% at each sale. A seller will try to increase the price of the house to cover these commissions.

Your comment is focused on buying a home, but there can be dramatic consequences for home owners, the stakeholders forced into paying both agents.

When a seller has little equity and a poor housing market, exiting a primary mortgage can be financially impossible. A recent survey found a large fraction of the US can't handle a surprise $400 expense. So the follow-on effects of these commissions are not trivial for a large swath of the country.

I also agree that depending on location (looking at you SF metro) there are much bigger factors, e.g. constrained supply, inflating home prices.
zsh isn't a perfect super-set of bash (there are some differences in syntax, provided built-ins, &c.), but it does have equivalents for most of bash's functionality. Off the top of my head i can't think of anything useful that it's missing. People may have subjective preferences for e.g. readarray over parameter expansion, but the functionality is all there. I suppose it doesn't (and probably never will) fully conform to POSIX, if that's important to you
I don't have much to say to most of this, but I'll point out that I didn't and couldn't have downvoted you as none of my throwaways have >=500 karma or whatever the threshold is.
Is everything with stripes a zebra?

The comment decries impugns those who have "never been to Brazil". It does not corroborate those who have.
Fair, but the domains that can justify buying Apple's new $5k monitor + $999 stand, are pretty small as well.
They're not really that different.

There's only a second vector for a word in the (common, default) negative-sampling case, where each predictable word has a distinct "output node" of the neural network, and the second vector is the in-weights to that one node. Still, most implementations don't emphasize this vector – the classic "word-vector" is a word's representation when it's a neural-network input. And in the hierarchical-softmax training mode, there's no clear second vector.

I suspect the original word2vec authors left out a clearer description of the initialization as they were following some oft-assumed practices implied by their other descriptions.

Another minor difference between the literal descriptions, and original C implementation, was a slightly different looping order in skip-gram training: holding a target-word, and then looping over all context-words, rather than holding a context-word, then looping over all neighboring target-words. One of the authors once mentioned that the shipped approach was slightly more efficient – maybe it was due to CPU cache issues? In any case all the same context->target pairs get trained either way, just in a slightly different order.

I find it interesting that in an article and on a topic where no one said free, you feel the need to qualify things that way, in order to create a moral hazard. It's literally a scare crow argument.

Since you mention the words moral hazard, and you made up an argument to bring up the point, maybe you feel a moral hazard without really having viewed the data? In which case, I'm wondering where that comes from? (truly, not trying to imply anything)
I lived in Brazil for a year and drove past Favelas sometimes but otherwise lived an upper middle class lifestyle.

Do I have a right to speak about Brazilian favelas unlike a (team of) reporter(s) whose done dozens (or hundreds) of hours of research on the topic?

Not everyone experiences pressures the same.

Especially after trauma. I know for me the stress of earning rent is WAY, WAY orders of magnitude less than living on the street. For many people it is that way, that is why they choose not to. Most people on the street don't want to be there (though you wouldn't know it, they are working poor who mostly sleep in their cars, what you see as homeless is only a small percentage of homeless)

You could experience trauma too. It can change anyone. A little empathy goes a long way.
Was it okay for communists to be blacklisted in Hollywood in the 40s and 50s? I personally don't have a problem with it, but I am not a communist.
I fully agree, and would actually go a lot further.

A very large number of research papers I've read in my life were so poorly written as to being near impossible to understand.

The time it took to infer the actual meaning of certain parts of certain papers was vastly larger than just reading the code would have been.

It has become very clear to me that being a strong CS researcher does not necessarily imply mastery of language or even the very basic ability to explain one's ideas. As a matter of fact, with very few exception (eg Feynmann), the two skills seem to be at odds with one another.

On the other hand, code can be read and understood much more readily, especially when it can be experimented with, if only to insert printfs in it to understand what it does.

The culture of scientific publication in CS must change. The "I'm pressured by my advisor and therefore have no time to publish my code" argument is complete bollocks.

The code should come first and your advisor should pressure you to publish that first (assuming it actually works).

If someone wants to read your poorly worded explanation of how it works, fine, publish a paper.

Show me the code first.
It does. It's kind of disappointing - would rather they build off what the community has in RxSwift, which is pretty feature rich and robust.
