Broadcasters had the special pleading with some scintilla of a point in that there were actual shared commons to prioritize. In practice it was a fig-leaf as you never saw arguements in broadcast censorship over 'values' to wrestle over airwave ownership but instead bullshit doctrines like 'community standards'. The fact that the US has a long history of laying out rights for all, seeing the revolutionary implications and then saying 'No wait that can't be right it is too different.' and going back to the bullshit control they had before for a few centuries is a whole other sad topic.

One thing that did make it through that was the ruling that mediums which lack said limitation like cable and internet don't have the rationale for that restriction and thus the censorship that weak minds had become accustomed to vanished in a puff of logic. This has been the case since cable porn channels were a thing.

By regulating YouTube you effectively regulate what /all/ platforms may push. It isn't simply that YouTube decides that "You know what we don't want to post that." - an exercise of their collective Freedom of Association but "The government doesn't want us to post that so we can't." You can't just deputize tasks to third parties and expect the limits on exercises of power to vanish. Otherwise we'd see hordes of private detectives as a work around to Fourth Amendment rights.

Said regulations on youtube would be a major infringement upon freedom of the press and speech. Not to mention it is logically equivalent to censoring your own press is whenever it fits whatever criteria they dislike.
One was pure vanity. We replaced a perfectly functional codebase in order to support a bunch of new functionality more easily. In the end, what we actually did implement could have easily been done on the old architecture.

Another one was a 15 year old codebase. We were also switching to Java. The process had taken 3 years by the time I arrived, and it was eventually canceled. They'd brought in a bunch of consultants (I was one of them), and everyone had their own idea and their own architecture for their parts. The pieces didn't play well together.

The 3rd one was just your standard rewrite of a spaghetti codebase. I still think it was the right choice to rewrite, but it took too long and the project was canceled.
We're actually trying to do something very similar at https://delph.us.

We also have operational encryption, multi-researcher studies, and soon an end-to-end encrypted chat system between researchers and participants using Matrix.
Economics and the Green New Deal
Why has the thread title changed to not reflect the NY Times article name?
>I didn’t realize so many companies had 5G related patents.

Which is part of the reason why you are downvoted. I upvoted it so it just stay visible and not lost in the conversation.

Nope, there isn't a patent pool. Which is part of the problem. But most Manufacturers and Assembly take care of it. So in this case, Foxconn would have everything sorted out for you. And if you are big enough, you can negotiate with each individual patents owner.

And there are lots of standard patents that aren't really useful in mobile, like lots of IoT and V2X use cases. Some of them I think are complete garbage.
It's not like nobody will pay for it - usually, the option isn't available. When the market doesn't offer an option, or offers it bundled with a lot of other unrelated options, then you can't claim people "voted with their wallets" - much for the same reason you can't claim people voted for issue X in a typical democracy, given that they only had a choice between whole political parties.

WRT. legroom - don't know the history here, but I doubt it was ever an isolated issue by which people could differentiate otherwise equivalent flights. Plus, there's the "boiling frog effect" involved, in which you remove conveniences in very small increment that at every point sounds like a reasonable trade-off, but it wouldn't if 20 years worth of changes were to happen immediately.
Many people will pay a premium for privacy if you bundle it with the other things, though: see Apple’s market strategy.
> People make good points about how digital media is ephemeral

I wonder what will happen to all of the digital-only movies and tv shows being made today. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and others are all making stuff that you can't buy on physical media and so if they decide that something shouldn't be available anymore, then it won't be.
Page 9, The New Character Of The Citizen

"Those who have fallen from the rope, either accidentally or deliberately, will find society not to their liking and won't have much to lose in open hostility. These will be the alienated citizens of tomorrow."

Page 1 Footnote:

"This Paper was presented at the MIT Club of Northern California in San Francisco, 27 February 1968."

Geez. The Tet Offensive had occurred a month earlier, The Monterey Pop Festival 8 months earlier. The Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Who, Hendrix, Joplin, etc. were all just starting out. MLK and RFK were still addressing crowds of listeners and the DNC in Chicago was 6 months away.

Computers generated enormous heat, required 30 and 60 amp power, and filled rooms wall-to-wall.

Abstracting the ideas presented in this paper with everything else going on in the world is a testament to just how serious he viewed his role in developing the use of communications and information technology. He didn't care a wit about cat videos. He cared about whether quantitative decision making contributed to hopelessness, despair and extreme anti-social behavior.

I don't really publish libraries so I didn't run into your main gripe.

Is there any other reason why you didn't like worker-loader?

I experimented with it and found it pretty straightforward. For anyone who wants to try it, you can even get it working from a create-react-app project with the webpack inline loader syntax without ejecting:

/* eslint import/no-webpack-loader-syntax: "warn" */
import Worker from 'worker-loader!./Worker.js';

My use case was to run tensorflow.js in the background. This actually mostly worked out of the box with only some awkwardness with serializing images as messages. The only thing that didn't work out was that you don't have access to webgl there which defeated my original use case (since there's no point in offloading computation if that computational is going to be several orders slower in the background).
It's been done. You just gotta use two 'x's.

Hi. The main difference with PyMC is that Brancher is build on the top of the deep learning library PyTorch. Every deep learning tool that is implemented in PyTorch can be used for constructing deep probabilistic models in Brancher.

Also PyMC mostly uses sampling while Brancher is based on variational inference.
On my 5th startup - I cannot agree more.

You only have so much cashflow - your first priority is to maintain and deliver for your customers. They pay the bills usually.

Architecture and engineering are important, and they need support and time to rework problems. But incremental improvement is almost always the best choice.

If you have the cash then you should consider not only what’s best for product maintenance, but also how you could use that cash to grow your business.

I'm not sure if I'm missing something, or if this is meant to be allegorical for some other, more difficult problem, but the argument here seems very strange. For sure, C++'s string handling is an awful sight, but the jump to DSLs seems unmotivated. This issue can be handled with simple, traditional helper functions.

"Mostly"? It's not like spent fuel is the only kind of nuclear waste...there's also tons of radioactive building materials, contaminated water and whatnot. Probably not as dangerous as (spent) fuel, but radioctive and voluminous enough to be a problem.
> These are just copper traces.

They're supposed to be just copper traces. The point of comprising it is you add something that's not supposed to be there, like a chip embedded secretly inside the plastic and connected to the traces.
"but intriguingly, Amazon says voice profiles can only be created for users 13+, so there's presumably something legal here"

Presumably if they're banned from storing and processing the information of under-13s, that includes doing so for the purposes of identifying that individual as under-13.
We installed the CarPlay retrofit for our recent model Mazda CX-5 and it does exactly this. The CarPlay interface completely takes over the vehicle interface and the buttons are mapped in a way that makes sense: home takes you to the home screen/springboard, nav opens Apple Maps or whatever navigation application is currently running, and music opens whatever media application was last selected. Most importantly the voice assistant button on the steering wheel triggers Siri.

Best $250 I’ve ever spent and the utility of this keeps improving as more apps add CarPlay support.
If you permit infinitely many integers it becomes problematic. If you are dealing with a finite entity (e.g. the finite part of the universe that can affect us), then there are no problems.
Terraform Remote State for Collaboration
The drivetrain the body and the infotainment are controlled by separate somewhat independent units if you lose the infotainment even if it's used to set the features on or off they should work, i haven't tested a tesla but most other cars run fine without it in some cases you just lose HVAC.

It may certainly be dictated by the manufacturer. Some products simply require someone properly trained to make sure people are buying correctly. This might not be your case.

Now, a contact us approach sounds like a huge waste of time for you. You know what you want. You can describe it exactly. Know what? Most people don't. They need and appreciate the help.

A contact us approach is basically the sales process adjusted to the market needs.

It is a habit of many industries because purchasing is a complex process most people dont get. Throw in the complexity of a corporation and you have a recipe for disaster.
The merits of the case did not seem to bother Oberlin officials or student protesters. Dean of students Meredith Raimondo reportedly joined the massive protests and even handed out a flier denouncing the bakery as a racist business.

Without knowing the details of the case, it's hard to determine who's truly at fault here. Even so, given that the dean herself apparently chastised a dissenting staffer who advocated for the bakery (“F* ROGER COPELAND”), it's a bit disconcerting to think that this is someone who is charged with the well-being of every student on campus.

It's one thing to encourage student activism, but if these universities are teaching students to throw empathy, logic and reason to the wind, they are only doing them a disservice.
Personally I wouldn't care. The reason is, that regardless of the company I'd go on LinkedIn just to see who the person is. The deciding criteria would not be the sales rep's title.The functionality of the product, support, chances of them staying alive for the next few years and etc. are much more important. However, I appreciate that's not necessarily the case of how a lot of people think.
The planet's pull on the sun and the sun's pull on the planet decline at the same rate (they're both proportional to 1/r^2). So the barycenter will always be the same proportion along the line between their centers of mass.
I went fishing with bald eagles once on the beach. I was there early in the morning. There were tons of eagles on the beach. One by one they'd wade out into the water and wait. Then they'd dunk their head down and pull out a fish and fly away until there was only one left by the time i went home that just didn't have any luck.
Does anyone know what framework an appellate court will use to review/revise the damages? The article says $22 million is the state max, but are there other factors that will reduce the amount further?
It doesn't behave strictly that way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuV8ILW5cAQ
How's age discrimination in SF these days? When I was ~30, my job brought me to SF to have a week or two of meetings at 10-20 different places each more than once, and I was always among the oldest in the building.
Ok. I honestly had no idea.
Handy tip, you probably don't want to say a local, family-owned business that dates back to the 1800's is only worth $35,000. It comes off as elitist and hometown juries hate elitist with a passion.

Just a note - without XEP-0198 you will be losing offline messages if your connection is unreliable. I think most desktop jabber clients still do not support it.
We have something like this in my neighborhood too. It's hosted in someone's basement and consists of dozens of bins labelled by age/size and clothing type. It operates pretty much like a library where people take some things they like and return them when their child outgrows them. Over time I've seen the same shirt/whatever on multiple different children in the community.

This mostly works for children's clothes because children tend to outgrow them well before they wear out. It might not work so well for adult garments. I tend to keep my clothes till the patches start overlapping, then I turn them into rags for the local maker space.
Indeed, and it is something I'm looking at. But at the moment my database is really native Clojure data structures, which has fantastic advantages. I would need to start storing them in a "traditional" database, introducing additional layers, serialization, overhead and bugs.
It was always meant to, but people naively assumed that like every other Asian developing country (South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, Phillipines) rising incomes would eventually result in a democratic China.

It would be more expensive to make and I doubt many people are willing to pay extra to have less functionality that's not upgrade'able and more expensive to maintain.

Knobs and switches are really (relatively) expensive, not even talking about all custom parts required to put them in nicely and time required to assemble them. I was very surprised about that when I got into electronics. You can basically get a SoC cheaper than a single decent on-off switch.
I'm impressed, this is much more responsive than how Macron has handled the gilets jaunes.
Or, did a rewrite and it launched them to success.
The problem here is an insulation from consequences. After costing their employer $33 million dollars, plus legal fees, will the libelers be fired? I'd guess not.

Ironically this is the same root cause for overuse of force by police officers that is alluded to in the article as a problem these university employees were concerned about. Police officers are also far too insulted from consequences and generally keep their jobs even after causing their employers (i.e. us) millions of dollars in lawsuit damages.

The moral of the story is that all institutions should have effective mechanisms for accountability. Insulate employees too much and at least some will surely run amok.
> There are bad actors out there - fraudsters/scammers, terrorists laundering money, legal gun manufacturers moving money around, child pornographers, people who believe in evolution (even among humans), people advocating abandoning Islam, Russians posting Pepe memes, and journalists/revenge pornographers revealing truthful information that people want kept hidden.

I can think of maybe two of these that are are “bad actors”.
That's fair. There's always supply chain risk in more nefarious ways as well (rootkit/trojan in bios, etc)
Would it be possible to draw off screen or canvas somehow? To preserve WebGL compatibility while still using the workers?
I don't think it is. It seems to me to be playing right into the hands of the chinese gov't. "we gave you what you want then you protest some more? Clearly you are liars and deceivers".

Then more violence by the police, completely justified this time because protesters must be just troublemakers.

It seems a very risky strategy. I would advise against it, or at least think very carefully, but what do I know.
Thanks for the patience in explaining this, the amount of people voicing completely unfounded opinions seems to be getting higher every day

It is a PCB. If you're really really interested in sabotaging it, you can, erm, make it rust quicker I guess
> Privacy is like legroom on flights. Everyone complains about it being taken away but nobody will pay even a little bit for it. Price signals say nobody really cares.

That's not true at all, otherwise first class, business class and even premium economy would not exist. I've personally paid extra for a seat with more legroom on 2 hour Ryanair flights. It's just a question of what you value (and can afford).

The same goes for privacy - there is definitely a portion of users out there willing to pay extra for services and companies that, at the very least, exploit your user data less than the others. See Apple's latest stance - they are basically packaging privacy as a luxury good. Or the VPN market, paid email providers instead of Gmail, chat applications such as Signal, Riot, Telegram...
> (which always ends up being in a few months)

I have seen something about technical debt that says that it's a win over the span of weeks, but a loss by the time of months.
I get around SF by bike and for the most part there are routes that avoid the big hills. And I find the bike lanes in the city just wonderful.

Re stolen: it's a problem. Worse than other big cities? Not sure. A month ago I made the mistake of thinking it would be ok to lock my bike for a few hours inside the ticketed area of a BART station...no more bike. That was the end of that assumption. But with a good lock it seems ok in general to leave a bike outside for short periods. I wouldn't do it with an expensive one though.

The diagrams of centralised, decentralised and distributed networks from his 1963 RAND paper "Introduction to Distributed Communications" will be familiar to many.

One can't really compare a democratically elected president bound by rule of law and various balances to a totalitarian puppet.
Its 2x the compensatory damages. So, in this case compensatory damages were $11 million, so the punitive damages is capped at an additional $22 million leaving a total verdict of $33 million. The standard appeals process can overturn or reduce damages.
It's certainly possible, EVs have been around for about as long as batteries and motors have --- over a century:

Computerised motor controllers are used because they can be more efficient, but regular electronic controls or even just mechanical ones are still common in things like golf carts and other "non-road-legal" EVs.
Migrating from U2F to WebAuthn
Gamergaters were not victims, they were denounced and derided because of their doxxing and gang stalking activities on the boards. Their actions led to their removal from 4chan.
Paying a third party for your privacy is a fools errand. If you want privacy, then use the tools on hand. Your credit card number is the last thing you should be sharing online with anyone if you value privacy.
“I don’t use it, therefore no one else uses it”

As an example, emscripten uses WebWorkers and SharedArrayBuffers to implement multithreading (unfortunately or not, Chrome is the only browser that supports SharedArrayBuffer, others have disabled it).
But the jury verdict is entitled to deference (or at least would be in my state, couldn't swear to Ohio law).
UFED Premium – A Comprehensive Solution to Access iOS and Android Devices
Really, really wish you could do canvas manipulation with web workers. There's some experimental browser stuff, but nothing standard. I'd like to be able to do image manipulation with web workers.
From what I know, 22 million isn’t the max, 2X is the max for punitive damages. So they got 11.2 million for damages so they can only get 2x11.2=22.4 for the punitive. So 33.6 million total. Sorry, not sure if I answered the question?
"What are your strengths?”

"can be quite off-putting" -- now you know how the candidates feel.

I actually think this is a great question to ask the interviewer if they are someone you will need to work with. I think obviously you would need to get the tone right though.

I mean with the context it would be pretty hard to pull off a real 180 "now I'm interviewing you" without just getting dismissed. But I actually think that is what is fair and warranted if you are going to be working with or for someone else.

But if you can pull it off, one question like that, "what are your strengths" might tell you something about the attitude of the people you work with. It is also as I said totally fair.

Even if you don't say something like that, I think that the mutual interview, perhaps not in an overt way, is the practical approach. You want to somehow find out whether people will be wasting your time, who is the worst, see if the actual philosophy matches up with yours, know what you are getting into. Even if you are low on funds and have to take a less than ideal job, you will want to collect the most information possible so you know what you are getting into. It may help you select from the lesser of evils if you have multiple possibilities that aren't great.
The Joy of Erlang
That is not strictly true, Qualcomm offered a price for all Wireless patents, and I hardly call it unreasonable given the contribution of Qualcomm in 4G and 3G.

Not to mentioned having read the 233 pages I found the Judge to be... one sided? She dismiss all the defendants' testimony because they were speaking too quick.
For real though. They stick anything and everything interesting in FPGAs for defense aerospace.

Check out this missile guidance computer. https://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=3649 Pretty much just a PowerPC and some RAM glued to a giant FPGA with a lot of off board inputs. These days they'd use something like a Zynq that has the hard processor core on the FPGA die, making it look even more like an FPGA breakout board.
OffscreenCanvas is exactly that! It's standardized, but only chrome has implemented it so far, sadly.
I think this is because of the assumed level of risk. People don't think it'd happen to them.My colleague's house was nearly burgled. Once that happened, he invested in intrusion detection system and etc.So his level of assumed risk has gone off the charts. Some years ago I made a suggestion to the company owners that we should ramp up on security,at least starting with getting an antivirus. One said he'd use the insurance from the bank if we get robbed,while the other said it slows down his PC( an avid player)...While now we do have much more than just an antivirus, the assumed level of risk is still pretty low. People simply don't care...
