Come on, HBO is literally listed on widevine.com as a user of the product (this asset is like halfway down widevine.com: https://www.widevine.com/assets/img/logo-hbo.png), and there's an iOS sdk for widevine as well, so iOS apps are using widevine too, so no, neither is streaming a ton without it, unless you mean how Apple themselves went and made an entire competing ecosystem that depends not just on a competing DRM standard (Fairplay), but competing apps and playback devices. That's not a great argument for Google to make that they don't have a monopoly status for web streaming: "No, you honor, it's simple. You can't totally make a competing browser to stream media. You just have to make an entirely separate device with a custom OS using customized hardware and a customezed digital store for people to browse to using your code. Simple!"

I didn't argue widevine licensing was anticompetitive on its own. I said how Google grants licenses and the terms of the license is part of a larger strategy on Google's part to hamper the ability of consumers to switch away from Chrome.
I don't think you can truly answer that question without it being part lie. For one, we don't necessarily know the real reason, plus there's multiple reasons anyways, especially since it's taken on a life of its own and culture/history is part of it now.
I might switch to writing code on an iPad. Even after all these years of writing code using a keyboard, I still think better with a pen.. I realize that I'll be pushing text slower with a pen, but I'm that hoping the quality will improve!
Significant advancements have been made that make degradation to half brightness slower than LCD displays possible with less energy. OLED displays are already being put into consumer screens including the laptop market with the X1 extreme gen 2, and I believe Dell and Razer are now making them as well.
Right out of school that’s exactly what I wanted, and put me in a good position to start my own company 3 years later. Now, in my mid-30’s, I’m optimizing for flexibility more than anything else. Just depends where you are in your life / professional goals.
That's not a valid flip, because: inflation.
This sort of thing is aggravating to read. Frankly it comes off as really entitled. As researchers, the expectation is now that we not only have to do the research and write a paper like the good old days, but we have to release the code too. Okay, fine. But now that's not enough either -- the code has to be well-documented and clean. Ugh, alright, fine -- it's going to take me a few extra weeks of not doing research, but I'll clean up all the code, rerun experiments to make sure it all still works like before, and add a bunch of documentation. But no, still not good enough -- it has to run at the press of a button in your particular programming environment. If we don't know how to write a script (or couldn't be bothered to spend the time writing one) to check that the data is on disk and, if not, crawl a website to download some huge dataset in one click, test our code on your OS, your CPU/GPU/TPU/..., etc., we were being "insincere" with our open-sourcing efforts.
I disagree. Having more cores is becoming more and more relevant to software engineers these days. The power wall is forcing application scaling to happen through core count, so a lot of the software development in the world is focused on that. Having a beefy multicore machine is becoming more and more relevant to devs.
I've no way of validating this but I've read that tipping in the US was originally a way for patrons to make sure that the server got paid. During the great depression people were often so desperate for work they would be willing to work for free in the hopes that employers would hire them. (This is still a thing in Journalism). Employers would exploit that. Patrons fought back by tipping workers directly.

In the US bribery was fought by unionizing police officers and paying them more. I think low pay is behind bribery in a lot of countries.

Amusing story from an old gay dude I met at a party. In the sixties he rented an apartment on the fifth floor of a building in New York. About a month after he moved in the fire house held a 'charity drive' and the firemen essentially mugged him to put $20 in the bucket. Couple month later he locked himself out of his apartment and the firemen used a hook and ladder truck to get into his apartment and unlock the door.
Apple swindles and manipulates the user to buying a new device whenever there is any fault at all because everything is glued and soldered together so fixing anything requires buying half of the device.
> But watching the behavior of "people on bikes" who are not "established cyclists" it seems as soon as everyone gets on a bike they initially go through a period of forgetting everything about how the road works, probably because they are super afraid of the cars. I don't think you really can blame them, fear is a very real & serious thing and it makes us all forget how to think things through.

How do new car drivers deal with driving around trucks and buses? They're told that they need to obey the rules of the road and some additional things like not passing a truck on the right. We need to take the same approach with new cyclists (follow the rules of the road, signal your turns and lane changes, yield when don't have the right of way, don't pass turning traffic on the side their turning, etc).
>If you see a vehicle coming up from behind you at a higher rate of speed, signal and move over. Don’t be surprised if they flash their high beams. It’s common and only considered mildly rude. Just move over.

While this is somewhat common this is a clear violation of Traffic Law and actually also a violation of the German criminal code ("Nötigung"). It's definitely not "only mildly rude" and the types of people who flash their headlights aggressively (often accompanied by driving way to close to the car in front of them) are those we could really do without on the Autobahn.
You know it's just really painfully obvious that these are all the ways to perform mental gymnastics so that you don't sound like you're just asking for a raise, or more money, or free money for not working.

And while I'm in favor of such things, unfortunately, if I can see right through the ploy, most likely others can too.

Like, it's not like we don't all know precisely how ratios work. And if you change one number, without changing the other number, that sort of thing has understandable effects.

Working a part time job instead of a full time job, but getting the same amount of money is very obviously an improvement. Part time jobs are usually 30 hours a week or less, as opposed to 40 hours a week. So, you know, if you made $100 for 40 hours of your time, and now you only need to do 30 hours for $100...

What if... instead, you chose to put in 40 hours at the new rate anyway?

Hey, I know! What if I get paid $100 for 20 hours instead, AND THEN work 40 hours! That's $200!

I shared aggregated statistics calculated across a whole subreddit's history to make my point. That is a fair basis for discussion.
Google, the company who makes Chrome? The Chrome that will soon prevent me from using an ad blocker?
It seems contradictory to me to simultaneously believe PoW crypto is a good idea while also believing that you and your buddies can effectively launch a 51% attack on a major network.
Not directly but consumer welfare is the central concern of American anti-trust laws, buying out a competitor would presumably be blocked if the post-transaction firm would have greater power over consumers. IIRC, the sprint/t mobile deal was blocked because the resultant firm would probably have been in a situation where it could have harmed consumer welfare.

on the other hand, the Bush and Obama regulators didn't stop any of the airline or tech consolidation so who knows how much that regulatory body is captured.
And this is a function of power asymmetry. Why is it my problem that a bank issued a credit card to some guy in Romania or Russia who said they were me? It should be their problem unless they can prove it was me who opened the account. But they make it my problem through the enormous power they wield over our ability to participate in society.

If they come looking for the money I supposedly owe them on that account, I should be able to tell them to fuck off and collect from whoever they sent the card to of their own volition.

If they can't figure out whose business they took, maybe they need to reconsider their practices, otherwise they're just giving away money.
Probably someone who is young and wants to eventually start their own company.
I've never worked in a company that would blow $1k on a stand. Assuming it is VESA mount they'll just buy a cheaper alternative. If it isn't I'm sure some Chinese companies will oblige soon enough.
I wish I had a tricorder to check my food for this stuff.
> It's that terrible win-win to everyone situation and that makes it very hard to destroy.

It does make it sound like there's a bribery-free equilibrium really close by though. Like imagine all of these things happened as part of a single reform:

- Policeman and management salaries go up.

- Fines go down.

- Taxes go up.

- Anti-bribery enforcement goes way up.

The idea would be to acknowledge that regardless of the bribery culture, the typical policeman might be doing a decent job and doesn't necessarily deserve an effective pay cut. The amount of money they're getting today is in some sense their "market rate", and the goal is to improve the efficiency and transparency of the system in other ways without shifting that market rate. Likewise the goal would be that the tax increases for citizens would be designed to match what they're paying in bribes and fines today, so they wouldn't actually end up paying more.

I assume the hard part is that each of these things by itself might make the problem worse, and it's only if they all change at the same time that you get a coherent result that's "good for everyone". And there are probably a ton of other factors to add to the list. (Like tax enforcement. Is it even possible to raise taxes to accommodate salary increases and fee decreases? If the tax code needs to be reformed before people will accept stricter enforcement of it, what are those reforms, and who would fight them?)

Lenovo is already starting to sell them. SamsUng would have told you they are too expensive to produce until LG figured it out, just like they’ve figured out how to make sceeen from phones to TVs with real longevity. We’ll see about competition when it comes.
Billing amounts will correlate with tests administered, so even without lab results a ton could be inferred from a sequence of billing amounts even _without_ ICD codes.
Including the codes removes ambiguity.
> Back before cars, when, if you didn't live in a very dense metropolis, your commute to work was almost certainly done using an open-air conveyance such as horses or feet or donkey carts?

> Yeah, I can't imagine many people would choose a 45 minute each way commute. Not unless they lived in some magical place where temperatures never drop below 15 degrees and rain only falls on weekends.

How many people actively choose their commutes today? I know many people who had moved somewhere for a job, bought a house with their spouse, and subsequently changed jobs. Once you start adding things that can tie you to a place (high-school age children, elderly parents to care for, mortgage, etc) it becomes harder to uproot yourself for the sake of one's commute.
In a lot of European countries, vehicles entering from the right (aka merging onto the highway) have the right of way, so even if they aren't necessarily up to speed, you have to let them in, or make room for them. This is one reason you'll see many people change out of the right lane just before a merge -- they are probably making room to let someone get in.
You make a great point, why is Apple avoiding a higher price point? They could easily charge mainframe level prices to music producers.
Except it does? After Equation 2: "v_w and v'_w are the input and output vector representations of w."
It's cool to see that they have some quite popular channels on there already. Crash Course is on there, as well as some of my personal favourites; PhilosophyTube and Coding Train.
Latency will be higher, but throughput can be nearly the same with a fast enough network.

> Politicians do what their constituents want now? That's new.

Clearly there is a strong correlation between political identity and the politicians that are elected to represent those identities since democrats overwhelmingly vote for candidates that support NN and republicans overwhelmingly vote for candidates that oppose it. This is pretty simple to verify based on the congressional voting record, the machinations of subreddit shit-posting is wholly irrelevant.
> This is actually accounted for in the merchant interchange rate. It varies by MCC and potentially merchant to merchant and the frequency of chargebacks is built into how much the merchant pays for processing.

But the number of chargebacks is as much related to the frequency of buyer fraud in that industry rather than anything the merchant can control. If it's all buyer fraud then the rate is high, but how do you solve that other than by moving the liability back to the buyer?

> Merchants may offer cash or other payment method discounts, so in a sense, what you're asking for already exists.

It exists in person, but where's the equivalent that allows you to pay cash over the internet? Cryptocurrency, maybe, and now we're back to monopolies and market share because you can't really accept something people aren't familiar with and don't know how to use.

> If someone has a number of chargebacks, the customer is investigated and has their account suspended or charged with fraud.

One of the most common sources of chargebacks is identity theft. Someone makes a purchase on a stolen card and then the real cardholder gets the bill and disputes the charge. The merchant in that case did nothing wrong but has to eat the loss, even when the identity theft was enabled by the cardholder's negligence. Then we get more such negligence, and lose the demand-side market pressure for higher security like two factor authentication and replacing credit card numbers with public keys that could have prevented the fraud, which increases costs for everyone.

But investigating the customer whose name is on the account does you no good in that case, because even if it was proximately their fault, it wasn't them who actually committed the fraud and it won't be their name on the account next time when some other negligent customer carelessly gives all their information to a fraudster because it costs them nothing to do so.

> Again, merchants and buyers are aligned in this case, both make money on greater transaction volume, this feature increases transaction volume, that's why it's there, otherwise it wouldn't be there.

It's there because the credit card companies don't give customers the choice.

> Also, paying per-transaction isn't really insurance as it leads to massive adverse selection risk.

All insurance leads to adverse risk selection. That's the nature of insurance. It's why you can't buy life insurance when you're 114 years old. Should we force them to sell it anyway and then make everyone else pay for it?

> The most helpful chargeback for me personally was a two thousand dollar chargeback against Expedia where they refused to refund a refundable ticket. I filed a chargeback and I got the money back within a few days.

And you would have otherwise had to take them to small claims court, which would have been more inconvenient.

Meanwhile if you paid 3% more on purchases totaling $200,000 over the last decade due to the increased buyer fraud, have you really come out ahead?

> It's a good thing, unless you've got data to back your case.

We would have the data if we gave people the choice.
I think that it's like local maximum. There's higher maximum when everyone obeys the law and everyone's getting good salary. But it's hard to move there, because nobody wants to do it now. Also it creates bad incentive for police to arrest innocent people and to blackmail money from them for things they did not do, and it does not punish enough those who need punishment, so they do not learn their lessons and continue to break laws.
If I recall correctly, mailinator lets you host your own DNS record that sends mail to them. While I have never had any problems, back in the day I had nospam.jrock.us forward to mailinator and that worked every time.

The truly clever programmer could open an SMTP session to the mail exchangers specified in your email address, and reject you because they point to mailinator. I know of 0 programmers in the world that have written this code. I think you could ask the vast majority of programmers that work with email addresses and dark patterns to do this, and they wouldn't even know how. So you're probably pretty safe.

I use mailinator all the time and I have never had a problem, however, which is why I don't even have the MX records to host my own anymore.
First of all, there's a known, deadly problem of disinformation spreading via WhatsApp forwarding [1], and I'm pretty sure WhatsApp notifications are chronological.

But in any case, definitely none of this would be a problem if we got rid of the Internet. What's your point?

Algorithmic newsfeeds benefit social media companies enormously (by increasing engagement) and at least some consumers (I'm not denying they also hurt some consumers). They'll never voluntarily give them up, and banning them would be an extremely oddly specific measure that's probably unconstitutional and definitely has lots of loopholes ("we're not an algorithm newsfeed---we just prioritizing your notifications, like Gmail's Priority Inbox").

They're here to stay. We can fix them or come up with something better that eclipses them, but there's no banning them.

New user "MichaelStaniek" has a grammatical, relevant, good-faith sibling comment to this which is (imho) inexplicably banned, almost certainly due to a mistake, and I hope somebody will unban him.
This monitor the "Pro Display XDR" is to glossy for hours of coding imho. That is, you don't need 6k for coding either, so that's probably not their audience.
that smells like an anti-competitive behavior.

obviously apple has considered this and is forging on anyway. good for them.
In the USA the bribe revenue would not be tax-exempt. Failing to pay tax on it would be another infraction.
Here's the impression I'm getting looking at that page: It's like YouTube Originals. Curated, safe, sanitized. As an adult, this is like the last thing I'd want in a YouTube-like site, for my viewing. I don't feel like I'm likely to find something unusual or unexpected.

On the other hand, if I was a parent looking to distract my very young kids, curated, safe, sanitized, and ad-free is exactly what I'd want.

EDIT: Issac Arthur is on there. Maybe I'll give it a try. Maybe this site can use YouTube as its "Bush Leagues." That's only going to work if it can portray itself as "The Majors."
Yeah, but what if he then tells all his crow buddies that there's a certain human who'll give a biscuit and all you have to do is attack! [edit : didn't see below comment already referring to 'protection racket']
And he defied a ruling by the Supreme Court to initiate the Trail of Tears, killing ~16000 Native Americans during their forced relocation. The new valuation suits him well indeed.

Bribery though subverts law and order. Tipping might subvert service, but typically tipping is fine after service is rendered as opposed to before as in bribery.
Medical information is likely to be ICD codes for the active diagnosis, and antecedents (history) for this patient.

This is worse than full text medical information because everything is already coded, so you can make some simple algorithms to find crunchy details with a very high specificity.
That was basically my takeaway as well. Writing/compiling code just isn't "pro" anymore — doesn't require pro hardware. The new Mac Pro is meant for professional studios.

And to think music studios need so much horsepower when "Sgt. Pepper's" was recorded on 4 tracks…
The police officer probably had a bad day.

Flashing the high beams or using your horn is allowed in two situations: to signal that you will overtake the car in front of you (or have the intention to do so) outside of a built-up area, or if you judge yourself or someone else to be in danger ($16 StVO).

There are some additional provisions about not blinding oncoming traffic, but that shouldn't be a concern on the autobahn. Signaling something that they are driving unsafe and put you in danger is justified by the law.
What's the general split between laptops and desktops for developer use? Certainly I've migrated to 100% laptop which gets regularly used in a variety of locations.
You're literally redefining monopoly in a way that's different than every economist and most of society.
Actually I had VB6 in mind yes, but after a few months playing with it I made the switch to .NET (which was still in beta I believe at the time) so I was using Visual Studio ".NET" :)
I find the title of the article rather exaggerating...

As of the first difference pointed out in the article, one of the CS224D lectures on word2vec did addressed it:

https://youtu.be/aRqn8t1hLxs?t=2650

It was also mentioned later in the lecture that having two vectors representing each word is meant to make the optimisation easier (so it's kind of a trick); at the end, the two vectors learnt will have to be averaged over in order to reach a single vector for each word.

To be fair, the fact that each word is represented by two vectors was also mentioned in the original paper describing word2vec:

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1310.4546.pdf

On page 3, just beneath equation (2).
