I teach software development in a data science master's degree. We learn about web scraping, it is an important skill for a future data scientist IMHO, as the web is the largest and most important dataset in the world.

Google is massively scraping the web and is building products on top of the data, e.g. flight/hotel search. Why shouldn't we be allowed to do the same?

As others pointed out that one should take care about ToS.

In the US, scraping of public data is a fair use exception protected by the first. If you have to sign in to access the data, you then might be bound by the ToS.

In Europe, scraping of public data can be against several laws. Notably GDPR, the new copyright law, and you might be infringing copyrights on database as defined by the CNIL.
A carbon tax on gasoline is pretty much a non-starter, because gasoline prices have been much higher in the past than they are now but that didn't have much impact on demand, if reducing demand is your goal. (Otherwise it's just a money grab.) You would probably have to increase gasoline prices by a factor of maybe 3x or 4x or more in order to have any real impact.

Gasoline prices are headed down to below $2 a gallon in some parts of the country right now, but from what I understand California prices are going to stay at least twice that, and might even go higher. So we'll have to see what effect that has on demand there, if any.

> No comment on PM 2.5 restrictions, entirely different topic.

Carbon emissions are carbon emissions; it's not just all about CO2. PM 2.5 carbon particles and visible soot and such will likely eventually oxidize to CO2 anyway, though. And a lot of it oxidizes almost as soon as it's emitted, given its high temperature and its exposure to fresh supply of oxygen.

What I find interesting about people who pick fights with FPGA programming is that they entirely focus on the things that FPGA doesn't do. If you can solve your problem on a CPU then it will practically never be better to do it on an FPGA. If you want to make FPGAs better, you need to figure out how to make what we already do on an FPGA easier.

I think part of the problem here for example is

>That is, Verilog is to an FPGA as an ISA is to a CPU.

No! Not at all! For a start I can literally write verilog that won't work on any FPGA ever

always @ (rising edge multiplier_result[8])
begin
$print("This is nuts!")
end

Verilog is not an FPGA language, Verilog is a hardware language that Vendors implement a subset of on any given FPGA.

Here would be my advice to someone who wants a better abstraction for FPGAs: stop relating them to other things that behave very differently. Timing is important, placement is important, mapping is important. If your abstraction doesn't include these elements it is fundamentally flawed.

1. Would a significant amount of real humans who actually cared about the content cast a vote (up or down)?

2. Would it be even remotely possible to protect against fraudulent voting at Google scale? (remember they can't even prevent fake business listings on Google Maps, which is at least theoretically closer to verifiable from, for example, business records)
>(OC)A law enforcement agency is procuring products and services with money from their budget, to carry out their work.

(Quotes from (A) https://privacyinternational.org/news-analysis/2995/ice-payi...)

>(A)In 2014, US-based surveillance and analytics company, JSI Telecom, signed a contract with ICE worth over $19.7 million for annual support, operation, and maintenance of its “Title III digital collection system”, according to US procurement records.

Yeah... I'm going to call bullshit on the "they're just trying to do their job" excuse. It's one thing to do it, it's an entirely different perspective to outright outsource the entire process to a contractor - with little to no oversight.

>(A)ICE is also known to be monitoring people sympathetic to enforcing immigrants’ rights, labelling them as “Anti-Trump” protestors.

Again, not an orginisation "carrying out it's work".

"Practical" left the building, a long time ago. We're in "real" world scenarios, right now. Let's address those, shall we?

Cool, how much? IIRC, sustainability would require an individual average below 2 teqCO2/year.

Look at what the world would look like if climate change is not prevented: https://bigthink.com/strange-maps/what-the-world-will-look-l.... Think of the consequences in famines (whole countries transformed into deserts), flooding, and the mass migrations and wars that would ensue.
So no, cancer is not the priority, not when people will die by the hundreds of millions before reaching the age for getting cancer.

Then you are in denial, and need to be exposed to more science. Again, sorry for being blunt.

Yeah sure, we can't individually give up on our beef sandwich, but we will have no problem adapting collectively to most of our current living spaces becoming uninhabitable.
I was shocked how fast it actually was. In the VB6 days, it was only slightly slower than the lovingly crafted ATL C++ code for some of the COM component development. It was crazy - rough out a VB component in a few hours, then spend a better bit of the week making it 'real'.

I don't see the bigger issue being whether their use of lawful court approved wiretaps is ethical. I think the discussion of whether lawful wiretaps are ethical and should be used by law enforcement was settled long ago with the vast majority agreeing with their use.

I see the bigger issue being whether ICE's law enforcement mission is ethical. Once you accept that it is, which I don't necessarily do, the use of lawful wiretaps to achieve it seems to me to be for most a non-issue.

There's a pretty simple optimization in the labels you can do, but it doesn't really help that much. The first block of letters is XORing with one set of primes that follow a common pattern, but the second one is stumping me. I let it run overnight and basically made no progress once it hit the second block.
Hair has long been a "factional" association mark because of the commitment. Just look at the queue before the fall of the empire which mandated it. Cutting it was essentially seen as a declaration of treason against their social order by defying the order.

And it continued beyond then with things like natural hair vs powdered wigs as political statements.

There were a dizzying number of associations in the 20th century alone.
I saw a live presentation about greenarrays by its creator and wasn't impressed. His presentation was a long list of cool assembly-level tricks he had come up with to program his own chip, it seemed like he was trying to show off his skills to the audience. The chip has a very arcane design that is impractical to use, hence why it saw very little adoption.
That math makes sense if “90% of investments fail”, which is a reasonable number if you only invest in companies that need to grow to $1B to succeed. But if you were willing to invest in companies that top out much smaller, theoretically you could chose companies based on likelihood of profit instead of growth, and get a much lower failure rate.
The other thing you’d need to be careful of is drain on your time. You’d need to be much less available to companies over time, or you’d get spread too thin by too big a portfolio.
Rust is criticized on in too, but you can't read the criticism because it's downmodded to the background color. ;)

One thing about cookbooks is that the massive barrier to actually publishing and distributing is a natural filter for credibility; most cookbooks have tried-and-true recipes and are either authentic or a genuinely good adaptation by a skilled chef author.

The internet is full of garbage recipes that either just don't work, inauthentic, and uncreative, all at the same time.

The original designers of the web envisioned a world where every user could have their own chosen "agent" to navigate the web for them. This is where the User-Agent HTTP header comes from. There would be search agents, data mining agents, and interactive browsing agents.

The mere existence of a blogpost by a guy complaining that it's a hassle to shill his thing that generates spam on the Internet on the Internet makes the point better than anything written in it - it's almost the pure essence of SEO garbage itself.

Because the original post said 3 decades ago. Which would be the 80s. Again, no one is making up stuff to try and make Chicago look bad here. You guys brought up the 3 decade time period, and I only said, "well, ok, let me look at the data since the 80s." There's nothing underhanded there guy.

And counting blacks since 2010, when you changed the definition, so that people who were called black in 1980, or 1990, or whatever, are no longer called black. Well duh. Yeah, if mixed kids are born in Chicago, and you guys call them, I don't know, whatever it is you call them. Then they won't be counted in your data as black. Is that surprising to you? So basically to me, I feel like you guys don't count any mixed blacks, and then are surprised that the number of blacks is going down? I mean come on man. That should be a no brainer. But the important thing here, is that no one really outside of Chicago would look at those people and say they are not black. And again, in 80 or 90 or maybe even 00, they counted them all as black in the census. That's all I'm saying.

Site searching Reddit can at least give some ideas for different words to try. Most of my problems finding things on Google stem from its declining ability to make a reasonable guess based on what I put in. It's not enough to have a word anymore. You have to know the right keyphrase or it shows a whole different world of results.

It used to show its best guess, then branch off from it with less specificity and more variety and, in general, a result reflecting what I meant within a few pages. Now Google is so desperate to get it right on result #1 that it never admits failure no matter how many pages you go.
In any case, what I said stands for the relatively more likely scenario of "signs of past life now gone"
I agree, but I think it is somewhat unfair to always make it about ICE, when really it's about Congress and the President.

A public employee that does the right thing at great personal cost is a hero, but our elected officials should never put them in that position in the first place. That's where the bulk of the anger belongs--at a legislature that has abdicated way too much of its responsibility and at an elected executive that has taken that delegated authority and used it for things we find unethical. Sure we can save some disappointment and anger for the foot-soldiers but not at the cost of losing site of where most of the blame belongs.

We have protests about companies providing software to ICE, why don't we have any protests about companies providing software to the White House and Congress?
> i guess i would ask why it's possible to close a file that's going to be used after it's closed?

I don't think there's much reason to want to do it, but it's not obvious how to enforce that while still retaining the flexibility we'd want.

Linear types expand the solution space, to be sure. Whether they "solve this" depends a bit on exactly what we consider the problem to be.
That was an interesting read, an Adrian has done a lot of interesting work, but I can't agree with the theme that FPGAs are just another compute engine with a wonky ISA.

I've met a number of software people who are now developing FPGA designs, and hardware people who are the same place (even looking to hire US Persons with those skills for SDR work :-) and invariably the software folks get a brain cramp because it "looks" like code, but it doesn't "work" like code.

I have often wondered how close this experience is to English speaking people listening to a conversation about a software design and implementation becoming frustrated because they think they understand each word but they aren't understanding any semantics of the conversation.

I'm one of those people who essentially double majored in EE and CS[1] which is sort of like growing up in a house where one parent speaks one language and the other speaks another. In those situations you tend to naturally accept when one discipline (or language) doesn't overlap cleanly with the other.

As a result I disagree with the author that an FPGA is just a computation engine with a "wonky" ISA. Thinking about it that way is some what limiting. That said, some of the things that give FPGAs their programmability might be useful additions to GPUS, mostly redefining the internal data paths of the GPU to allocate more "bits" to change dynamic range for different operators might allow some interesting things to be done.

HDLs themselves are interesting problems, because you have a target, switching matrix and logic elements of an FPGA, and text. Designing a way to express the capabilities in one that translates to the other is very hard. So hard in fact that there are circuits you can construct in the FPGA that you cannot express directly in a HDL, and there are things you can write in an HDL that cannot by synthesized into a set of linked logic elements and a clock. On the surface this might seem like saying "Well yeah you can write things in assembly that the compiler won't generate." but it goes deeper than that. Both from programming what the pins on the package do to changing clock networks to get timing closures on complex designs, an FPGA is not a stored program computation device unless you configure it as one.

[1] Computer Engineering as a major wasn't a "thing" yet so I ended up taking all the EE major classes and nearly all the CS major classes (I missed out on some of the logic oriented math classes of CS because of the physics and materials science requirements on the EE side).

Let me give another perspective on this from "the school of 'old school'"

Back in the day of yellow page advertising one of the barriers to getting business was placing an expensive advertisement in the yellow pages (for certain types of businesses). I can personally attest to the advantage of doing that. That is I was able to build a business from nothing ZERO sales to over $2m/year using a yellow page ad as the only advertising expense (also used direct mail though). Many of my competitors never wanted to spend the money for a similar ad. (You had to pay for an entire year). It just seemed to expensive to them. It was. That was good though, not bad 'psychological barrier to entry'. Back in the day it was several thousand dollars per month without knowing (the first time) what kind of results you would get.

My point is having to pay that money (and the effort of designing an ad and paying for it) showed commitment to what you were doing (at that time). It's just another way to differentiate from the competition. We were entirely self funded also and took business away from large corporations that did the exact same thing as we did. In the end having to pay for that ad was a good thing, not a bad thing.

I don't know all of google's logic with why they decide who gets SEO juice or not but I wouldn't discount what I am talking about as one of the reasons that things work this way.

> I just don't get how the smart people at Google allow this to happen.

We'll probably never get a true answer to this, can only speculate. This appears to be group(s)think in action, where the involved parties feel justified, even entitled, to make this change for the 'betterment of the web'.

Think back to when the Chrome/ium team decided to hide 'www' and 'm' from URLs and had to roll back that decision pretty quickly. I cannot find the post where an engineer indicated that in their internal discussions this seemed like a good idea.

Given the massive browser share that Chrome/ium commands, the decisions being made around tampering with the address bar and making it behave in a way that does not reflect the underlying protocols, would not occur in a team with healthy debate around the merits and dangers of such actions - so I believe that debate is either not happening or simply being suppressed at multiple levels within the organisation.
Closed source, it seems?
I was “on the internet” before Google and a little before the web became popular when all you had was Gopher, Usenet, and Veronica. The internet was much less useful then.

On top of that, without the web becoming popular, there wouldn’t have been the investment in fast home internet or fast cellular data.

It's often below GPT2 level, and I'm sure we'll have great fun with autogenerated SEO content in the future.
