The only assured way to have a "neutral" search engine is to run your own spiders and indexers which you understand completely.

Neutral in that sense is only "not serving the agenda or judgement of another" at the obvious cost of labor and not just as a one off thing as the searched content often attempts to optimize for views. It isn't like a library of passive books to sort through but a Harry Potter wizard portrait gallery full of jealous media vying for attention.

And pendantically it isn't true neutral - but serves your agenda to the best of your ability. A "true neutral" would serve all to the best of their ability.

Besides neutrality in a search engine on a literal level is oxymoronic and self defeating - its whole function is to prioritize content in the first place.

Why do you say that the expectation of n flips is negative?

For 2 flips there are 4 equiprobable cases with gains +125%, -10%, -10%, -64% and the expectation is 10.25%. The expected gain for n flips is 1.05^n-1

What's the write speed comparison for the Pi 4 and an equivalent SBC with eMMC? I'm very tempted to buy one for general purpose compute but I'm wondering if I should get the RockPro instead (inferior software support but theoretically superior performance).
I'm confused by GP's reasoning. Is it valid to assume that since we have an equation that requires three dimensions to show how a force reacts, that if you remove a dimension that force doesn't exist?

Isn't it just as possible that there's a different equation for how that force would work in two dimensions (or to assume our current equation is a specialized version of a general equation that works in all dimensions)?

It just seems rather odd to assume that since our understanding doesn't extend to a circumstance that means something is impossible there. Or is there some aspect of this I'm missing?

Edit: Perhaps I was misinterpreting the GP contextually. Maybe they were just asking if we have an equation for it, rather than questioning how it could exist.

The article does have some issues, but a compromised CA would certainly make MitM easier. Not passive, but certainly ssl-strip [1] / ssl-sniff options get much easier.

Pinning certs (HPKP) is too dangerous so very few people implement it. That means if I have a signing cert for any trusted CA, I can ssl-strip with ease. This really has nothing specific to do with Lets Encrypt however. Any trusted CA signing cert will do. Or even an unlocked server cert (missing constraints) will do.

- Google doesn’t claim to want to own it, at least not anywhere that I’ve seen written. They just want to design it, for their needs.

"no scaling" means jaggies.

I think what you have now (4K @ 31") is the perfect compromise. It's borderline retina, so while things do get slightly better at a higher density, the improvement is much less noticeable than the improvement from non-retina to borderline-retina.

The density is also such that if you turn off scaling it's still borderline usable, for the once in a blue moon situation you have to run an app that misbehaves while scaled.

Cliff's notes:

- Apps should run not in a browser, but in sandboxed App containers loaded from the network, somewhat between Mobile Apps and Flash/Silverlight. Mobile apps that you don't 'install' from a store, but navigate to freely like the web. Apps have full access to the OS-level APIs (for which there is a new cross-platform standard), but are containerized in chroot jail.

- An app privilege ("this wants to access your files") should be a prominent feature of the system, and ad networks would be required to built on top of this system to make trade-offs clear to the consumer.

- Search should be a functionality owned and operated by the ISPs for profit and should be a low-level internet feature seen as an extension of DNS.

- Google basically IS the web and would never allow such a system to grow. Some of their competitors have already tried to subvert the web by the way they approached mobile.

Interesting, thanks for sharing that link. I had a ton of weird tics as a kid which could easily be traced back to the large amounts of prescribed amphetamines I was forced to take under threat of punishment. The solution to the tics was... more punishment.

It took me years to realize things such as, the reason I would chew on my shirt color all day even though I would routinely get sent to the principal's office and publicly embarrased by teachers or beaten at home was just because my jaw would get very tense and chewing motions relaxed it, and my mouth was the Sarah Desert and sucking on the fabric pulled moisture into my mouth.
But the unspoilt places inevitably require more effort both upfront and whilst there. The holiday starts to become more like work than relaxation!
Its so strange that I’ve heard so many people talk about their struggles with writing, yet no therapists who focus on it. If you search online for writing anxiety, you can find academic papers discussing how effective Writing Process Training[1] is, but you cannot find anyone who practices Writing Process Training.

Then again, the same is true for software task estimation. Lots of people talk about how hard it is but the only ones who can teach it are those who blithely say “you learn it by experience” or find it so simple they think it is a matter of “go with your gut and multiply by 2”. Does anyone have any guesses at the reason behind the absence of therapists and tutors who offer services in teaching people how to overcome these commonly-held challenges?

It's arguable that domestic violence is less cold and more passionate than the characteristics you're describing. I understand there are cold sadists, but speaking to the archetype.

Additionally, in the case of a bigot, the outcomes involving subjects of prejudice may be less meaningful to them even at a subconscious level. Coldness and bigotry can coexist, and certainly produce emergent results.

Also, that the best outcome of using surgeon who has a history of domestic violence is that they're so disassociated from the world, that beating a loved one doesn't matter is a really strange argument. Perhaps the argument is there isn't a better way, but damn.

I used to not be sure about robot surgeons, now I'm pretty convinced.

The thing is Hanlon's razor can't really be applied to a corporation. A corporation is inherently an immoral actor; it doesn't act maliciously, or at least it shouldn't. It acts rationally. The key note being that it's rationale therefore need not be ethical or moral at all.

I don't think corporations are stupid at all, they're the collected intelligence of thousands of people being used with the moral and ethical consequences abstracted away to where they can act in horrifying ways and not feel any remorse. This is why probably the hundred or so people involved in denying a cancer patient's claim for insurance payment don't feel bad; none of them made the decision, it's just a process.

So, with that in mind, I don't think Hanlon applies here, if you want a razor, use Occam's. And the theory here that requires the least assumptions is that corporations would sell their own mother if it made them one red cent, so when I hear "priceline changed it from $129 to $149" my prevailing assumption is the low price was to get you in the door, and they've found that a price increase of $20 at the point of sale isn't enough to deter customers. They're probably A/B testing a number of increases to see just how much they can squeeze from people.
I've been using dual monitors for years (on Windows and Ubuntu) and I can't say I've ever had this problem. As long as the monitors are plugged into the video card, the OS recognizes both of them regardless of whether they're powered on.
Kids can also be over-sensitive to certain kinds of sounds. This is related to sensory integration and in some people the neural system adjusts automatically, while others might require SI therapy. This over-sensitivity is not due to the volume itself, but occurs later in the neural processing.

I've seen it myself: a child would have no problems with loud music, but any kind of noise (as in, white noise) would be painful. This included hair dryers, vacuum cleaners, some power tools, and sounds of water/sea.

Very interesting read, aside from the issue at hand, I was really drawn to how they pulled off this kind of change in a giant org with many heads. Routinely, the root issue is easily addressable, however, it's a different story when it's something that's cross org. Usually you hit a wall and can't move forward without a consensus and some kind of org wide champion.

At the end of the day the process this team followed has all the hallmarks of a great culture (-- perhaps another article?). I'm curious what kind of management by-in was required, or if this was strictly driven by engineering and design.

Citation. Needed.

That's just wrong. There's no meaningful economics behind the magic fairy dust notion that tax cuts cause growth. In fact where actual research has been done, the effect more often shows the opposite. Tax cuts go disproportionately into illiquid investment holdings, while spending end up in consumer pockets. Look. It. Up. Or, y'know, keep parroting what you hear on "business news" and FOX.
I don't want to trot out my whole "Unicode Rant" here, but I'll say that each human language and it's digital representation should be an object of study in its own right.

Having a standard mapping from numbers to little graphical ideas is great. Trying to digitalize all the world's languages from a conceptual basis of "they're like English but with quirks" seems to me to be a dodge.

In other words, this article describes the kind of thing that I think should be what the Unicode people do: map out and specify datastructures and algorithms, libraries, for each language.

> The whole concept of a permeable membrane, i.e. essentially stuff that has holes but still is "one piece" (something like a sieve or strainer or colander or net or anyhing of the kind), is something that IMHO requires 3+ dimensions. In two dimensions if a membrane has two or more holes then it's not a single membrane anymore.

By what reasoning would it not be a single membrane in two dimensions, but it would be in three dimensions? As far as I can tell your only support/reasoning is found when you write "IMHO"...
That might explain the change in price, although I’m rather skeptical. It doesn’t explain the “someone just bought the last” lie.

Unfortunately, you're wrong here. This is from BBC, and they're using a very peculiar and annoying British-ism where they refer to an entity in the plural sense. They do it all the time with companies, saying something like "[Company] have announced earnings" instead of "[Company] has announced earnings" as in American English. Their reasoning is that the company (or country in this case) is composed of many people, so you should use plural. But it's awkward-sounding and annoying, and really doesn't make sense. An individual person is composed of billions of cells, but we don't refer to him or her with the plural tense.
I haven't seen any examples which were anything other than runaway persecution complexes of those who found their world view was less popular than they believed - which were greeted with exasperation by testifying engineers who had to explain how absurdly unscaleable it would be to do it manually.

Thats true. What if you could artificially limit the amount of effort someone can put in to getting content out there? Or even make it known to the consumer how/why the content is ranked highly?
There is a difference between catering to fast runtime internet vs fast install internet. I agree with you that we should optimize apps to be quick on slow internet, especially with so many mobile only users. But making an app that is large is a one time hit that isn't so bad, even on slow internet.
Is there some reason why it is the responsibility of Americans or their government to provide for people that enter the country illegally? Parents are endangering their children's lives and committing crimes, contributing to a rising problem, and the biggest concern we're supposed to have is whether the children are comfortable enough?

I'm tired of this emotional manipulation. It's perfectly reasonable for a country to have a border and to defend it against illegal entry. To suggest otherwise is literally to attack the very concept of a nation and to eschew any sense of respect for the existing tax base.

> This is of course a gross misunderstanding of what banks are, what they do, why they do it and where they come from.

You're being overly reductionist.

The functions of banks are great and valuable but they are disproportionately so. Why? Because they get free money from the Fed and are using fractional reserves.

Do you think the Bank's services would be as pervasive if the working class had a stable store of value for their work? I don't. Banks need competition and with Bitcoin and the crypto space, they finally got some serious competition.

Also, there are plenty of startups in the cryptocurrency space that ARE doing functions that banks offer. SALT is one that comes to mind quickly but there are plenty of others.

I guess the question is how many variables do you need to see chaotic behavior? I’m thinking of a Lorenz attractor where a few simple rules produce wildly chaotic outcomes.
