Of course, thats the image they would love to present. And of course, why would they even have the actual people in the know making these presentations.

And it is very natural they'd be interested in Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. Even a fool could understand why.
Reality Lab Lectures: Yaser Sheikh – Photorealistic Telepresence
Really? The point of such studies is to try to control for such factors.

"nature vs nurture" is a handy tag for an issue that is not polar.
> It’s just not a valid argument.

It's not a valid argument for the Chinese to justify their practices, you are right in that.

It is a valid argument for critics that are (collectively) guilty of similar abuses, however. In this case: why make China's abuses the issue of your vote instead of your government's abuses? The US government has limited power over the Chinese (and so your vote has even less), but it has full power over itself. Pledging your vote to somebody that will not create new wars sounds more reasonable to me than pledging your vote to someone that promises to be "tough on China". The horrors in Libya that the Obama administration is responsible for are arguably worse than China's human rights abuses in their Gulag system.

First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye and all that.
Many of us want candidates to go after Saudi Arabia, but what does that have to do with China?
That's exactly my point. Apple wove so much functionality into the Dock that it's now effectively impossible to remove it. And I may be weird, but Spaces and Launchpad are two of the things I immediately turn off, along with Mission Control, Dashboard, Expose, etc. because all of the above consume needless RAM or just get in my way.
The article says they put up a steel chamber for that purpose, but it’s totally unclear what exactly happened.
The price discovery period doesn't end until all potential participants have entered the market and all coins have been mined.
Indeed. Stay away from Qualification Samples... the last thing anyone should want is an Intel CPU that's even less half-baked than usual.
Sorry, I probably used the wrong word there. I was referring to the fantasy tech companies try to sell school districts that buying X technology will radically alter education forever; as long as you spend your money with them.

I used Chromebooks in high school and they were quite nice, but they didn't completely evolve my relationship with education. They were tools and not much more than that. Certainly not part of an education revolution. Definitely useful for writing papers though. I imagine districts that bought iPads are content with them as well.
I assume they are just figuring out which PDFs from different companies contain the same language and then letting their lawyers compare them
Sorcerer’s greatest trick? Shrinking a CCG experience into a single box
Could you elaborate more? I'm a bit confused.

The first one seems to do the wrong thing because there is no mention of any stakeholder at all. Getting it working first is great though.

The second one seems to do the right thing by demoing to stakeholders first. Then, it goes on to make it web scale with buzzwords (which doesn't seem good).

The best combination seems to be: 1. demoing to higher up and 2. JIT (I'm not familiar with the word, but I get what you mean).
Social media can threaten medical experiments
Reading these headlines is pretty depressing. If you want to do something about it, a paper called Tackling Climate Change with Machine Learning[0] just came out, and under Tools for Individuals a startup called Tomorrow[1] is mentioned. They're actively looking for help to get more integrations to their app to calculate people's personal CO2 emissions.

I'd like to point out that if you are doing performance testing, you should read a little stats or have someone good at stats lend a hand. Because it is really easy to fool yourself. I've fooled myself and I worry about doing it again.

Take effect size, for example. Suppose I run my test before and after the latest commit. The software now has 2% fewer TPS.

Is that meaningful? It depends. Should I rely on a single run? Almost certainly not.

Suppose performance improves by 203%. Is that meaningful? Probably. Should I rely on a single run? Almost certainly not.

Then there's the obnoxious problems of vast amounts of uncontrollable variables. Folks run buckets of testing on cloud platforms without knowing if they're landing on a physical machine they used last time and so their bits are disk-warm, or that there's a network glitch in central1-a but not central1-b but they don't know which one they're using, or they run tests at different times of day and don't realise they will get different competition for cloud resources due to diurnal demand ...

tl;dr run more tests and get someone to help you. If you run ab2 three times and publish a breathless blog post, be that on your soul.
I see a lot of people claiming the Spanish conquistadors exterminated almost everyone.

And it's certainly true they killed a lot of the survivors, but most people just died of "natural" causes. Many before the Spanish even got to their areas.

Had the immunological playing field been even, there is no way the Europeans conquer the Americas in the 1500s. It took until the late 1800s until they could overpower the less developed Africa.

So think about what that world history could have looked like!!

Did you already forget how long they knew of EternalBlue instead of immediately forcing patches?
Could you imagine the shitstorm if Coreboot was accepting code from a Chinese intelligence agency? I'm American myself and am glad NSA is on my side. But they've proven themselves time and time again to be completely untrustworthy when it comes to securing our computer systems.
The first consumer 64 bit processors came out a decade and a half ago. Why is legacy 32 bit still a thing? It's not like anyone can say they haven't had ample warning time that 32 bit deprecation was coming.
> The color that is most difficult to distinguish is light blue, which should be avoided for text, thin lines, and small shapes.

In hindsight kind of ironic given how much light blue/blue is used in 'modern' interfaces.
> but it's futile to condemn an action if you have not made a good-faith effort to understand the rationale. China is a collectivist society - the rights of the individual are always secondary to the rights of the whole.

While your argument is presented within a logical/philosophical framework, it can only be made in a hypothesized world. The fallacy is that the "whole" is hardly ever considered. Within Communist system's, the "greater good" is sold as a cake: appealing but no substance.

I would bet that the organs are going to the top 1% of the rich, wealthy, and influential Chinese. I have no proof of this but being born in former USSR and still having connection to that part of the world, I can attest that majority almost never benefit.

> If you want to make a persuasive argument, you need to address that core ideological difference. Why is your right to freedom of religion more valuable than our collective right to freedom from religious conflict? Why is your right to free speech more valuable than our collective right to social cohesion and stable governance? Why is your right to life more valuable than the right to life of the eight people who your organs could save?

This is really tricky statement to make because on the philosophical stage, you are right. You have valid points and in theory, utilitarianism is more good than bad. However, in reality, its very difficult to discount human nature. It's simply too easy to become corrupt. In my opinion, such philosophical arguments are the road to hell, paved with good intention.

On the other hand, if we could build a perfect world, where everyone was altruistic, it would be best. Reconciling such a world with known human traits and action is a different beast all together.
The class API will remain the current status of an add-on. The idea was that if we make the class API built in to the core, it will somehow be better than now and remove all the issues with it. More and more into the game it was turning out that's not that easy.

Even the decorator thing was problematic. Remember that the core Vue library is supposed to work both with and without build tools, but in case of TypeScript it's not possible. There is a decorator proposal for JavaScript but it works differently than the TypeScript one so there would be a clash.

In the meanwhile we found out a new solution that not only solves these but also some other problems (composability).
I got in an argument last year with a pissy middle manager at Boeing about where I was parked.

The spot was unmarked, un-gated, on a road with a stoplight at the intersection, and I was having engine trouble. This little man told me the road was private property, and I had to move my truck immediately.

I ended up getting banned from Battlebots last year over that situation.
That is one of the problem with online discussions. Would be great if there is a discussion on how to fix this.
Did you manage to get power management working on a AMD hackintosh?
Talk to people who worked at the NSA 15 years ago and their opinions of what is happening now.

If they trust you enough the truth is interesting.
I think writing everything down is very valuable. I also think it is important to drop things that turned out to not be so important. This helps to avoid an ever growing list.

I do this by keeping my list on a small paper (A6) in my notebook. When the page is full, I transfer over only the incomplete tasks that are still relevant over to a new page. Often also refining their scope. This chance of default from 'keep' to 'not keep' has had large impact on how many (useless) tasks I drop, and the associated mental burden.

To your analogy, yes, police is fighting crime because getting Paul in jail would reduce rate by 50%. And after that, they can focus on Joe.
It’s not nothing or everything (false dilemma/perfect solution fallacy).
The big 4 accounting firms do a huge amount of legal work for clients. It’s done by people who have passed the bar but are “not practicing attorneys” at the firm.
Oh, I'm well aware of their prowess, it's been taped and discussed (also many more animals have more cognitive abilities than were thought before). I was just discussing this particular reflex/behavior.

Many Chinese are actually against organ donation culturally, China would be one of the last places an opt out would be introduced.
The NYC public school system is a bit special for the US. It splits its schools into three main groups...

The first group are the various local public schools (i.e. PS 153), the only requirement to attend is that you live in the neighborhood and aren't in jail. This is what all other city school districts have and the default (the vast majority of kids go to these). The quality varies by neighborhood from very bad to fairly good.

The second group are a bunch of specialized schools that focus on various trades/skills/careers. Examples are the transit high school, the fashion high school, multiple arts high school, etc. I think you have to apply and I think each school sets their own requirements, but generally speaking, the bar isn't super high.

The third group are the "selective" high schools. Schools like stuyvesant, townsend harris, bronx science, brooklyn latin, brooklyn tech, etc. To gain entrance to these, you have to take a standardized test and score higher than a certain level (there is currently no other requirement but that is under debate). These schools are better than 90% of elite private high schools... and free. As you might imagine, the competition to gain entrance is fierce. Some are more difficult to get into than ivy league universities. The caliber of students is very high and the education is...intense.
Meditation helps. When I take even 8 minutes a day to sit quietly and breath (I use the Timeless timer for iPhone), I find I have more willpower to avoid crappy food and trivial time-wasters.

Similarly, making sure you get daily exercise and spend some time in nature if you can. Apparently, according to “The Distracted Mind”, even just looking at pictures of nature can help your brain recharge, allowing you to be more focused.
FWIW, I have found Figma to be better than Sketch.
he made a few videos about apl too, parallel tree processing.. I like his subjects of discourse. I wish I could work (or intern~) with him.
NSA also interested in security of their hardware/software, it's logical move.
I've seen this happen countless times. More specifically, I've seen companies use contrived but domain-specific questions for interviews, and have either junior or overconfident candidates assume they were duped into a free consultation under the guise of an interview.

No, a $100B+ company that regularly pays $500k/yr to mid level engineers is not trying to save a few thousand dollars by dancing around a consultation fee.

I worked for a data heavy company a few years back that would use a domain relevant but extremely contrived and simplified dataset for interviews. Our Glassdoor was filled to the brim with identical accusations.
