I heard the counter that Germany had ground based radar and would develop airborne radar later, so the propaganda was not helpful. Can somebody answer?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_in_World_War_II#Germany

> In February 1943, a British bomber containing a H2S radar was shot down over the Netherlands, and the 10-cm magnetron was found intact. In short order, the secret of making successful magnetrons was discovered, and microwave radar development started.

> In June 1941, an RAF bomber, equipped with an ASV (Air-to-Surface Vessel) Mk II radar, made an emergency landing in France. Although the crew had attempted to destroy the set, the remains were sufficient for the German Laboratory for Aviation to discern the operation and its function. Tests indicated the merits of such a radar, and Wolfgang Martini also saw the value and tasked Lorenz to develop a similar system.
Can't remember which one we used, but they're terrible for engagement as well - we had to pull a native campaign as we were seeing (if not ad fraud) then utterly awful engagement rates. Average under a second time on page, lots of useless sites in the referral list, lots of "clicks".

I'm guessing publishers love them as they seem to get people to click on the ads, but eventually any reputable advertisers will wise up and get out of there.

> they hired a web developer to write their driver configuration tool

This is the real problem behind all of these cases of "why the heck is tool/driver/app/whatever X running a web server locally?" - the market is full of developers only knowing HTTP, and when someone just has a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

There is a real shortage of devs who know about all the other IPC techniques supported by modern OSes (of which practically all of them are much faster, lower latency, less overhead-y, more secure and come with less unintended side effects than a local web server).

One of the firm indications that the product is Arctic Blast Review free from any kind of side effects is its ever growing popularity. No individual would like to use a product which has adverse effects. The fact that so many people are opting for cobroxin simply proves that the product is totally safe for use. There is every chance that you might get to see an odd review wherein an individual might have mentioned certain side effects of this product. The world has become very competitive today and hence there are people who make use of strategies which are against healthy competition ethics. The review you read might well be a fake or a scam. Hence it is important that you opt for a reputed review site.

It does not. In a preliminary evaluation, there are 26 companies that would match the criterias, 11 are not americans, 4 of them (that's 1/6th) are even french companies to begin with.

• Intermédiaire de services: Amadeus, Axel Springer, Booking, Expedia, Match.com, Randstad, Recruit, Sabre, Travelport Worldwide, Tripadvisor, Uber.

• Publicité en ligne: Amazon, Criteo, Ebay, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Twitter, Verizon.

The point is to catch up with something everyone else has figured out: that the value is in the users data. Investors have caught up to it and acted on it, so did VC, so did companies, so did everyone ... Except governments. If the data is what you extract your value from, then it should be normal that it is what you are taxed on.

US has a trade deficit with France. So potentially there is more to loose for France in case of a trade war:
https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c4279.html

And generally speaking the US has a trade deficit with Europe:
https://ustr.gov/countries-regions/europe-middle-east/europe...

My understanding of the economic system between the US and the world is that other countries support the US dollar by using it for trade, and that the US in turn is able to print a lot of US dollars that can be used by american consumers to buy goods from the world.

Could other countries retaliate to US trade tariffs by dedollarizing trade?

During the Battle of Britain (1940) the Brits used a radar network to track German planes and successfully concealed the existence of the network from the Germans (using the carrot propaganda and other means).

The stations of the radar network were a string of about a dozen wooden towers, each about 100 feet tall, situated along the east coast of Britain. If the German knew that they were radar stations, they probably would have destroyed them and prevented Britain from rebuilding them. Without the radar network, the Royal Air Force probably would've been destroyed in the Battle of Britain, and the Royal Air Force was the only thing preventing the Germans from invading across the English Channel.

So if it helped keep the Germans ignorant of the British radar network until the Germans gave up trying to destroy the Royal Air Force in September 1940, it was monumentally helpful regardless of what happened after September 1940.

> I don't believe the intent of the AMP team is to strongarm developers into using their framework

Regardless of their intent, Google IS strong-arming publishers, by:

* Pushing publishers to do something effectively none of them want to do (and making them pay for it)

* Limiting lucrative Google search real estate if they don't

* Not having any publishers or content makers on the technical steering committee of AMP (3/7 are Google employees, another 3 are platform people who exploit content (Microsoft, Twitter, Pinterest)

You know how I know that Google is strong-arming publishers?

Because none of them would implement AMP if they weren't being strong-armed.

Logically speaking, if publishers wanted to make their sites faster, and considered it cost effective, they would have already done it.
I think the point of disagreement between you and the other commenters is a subtle equivocation over the meaning of APM, something I've found to occur not infrequently in discussions around a metric.

You seem to be talking about an underlying, unknown parameter for which APM provides a crude estimator. When you use the term APM as a proxy for that hidden parameter, people will often mistake your position for claims about the raw number they see on screen, which does not perfectly correlate with the desired attribute.

In the case of APM, there are two major sources of error that make it a less-than-ideal estimator:

1) Not all actions are counted by APM. Moving the camera, moving your eyes to look at the mini map/minerals/supply counts/unit health, moving the mouse without clicking anything, pressing hot keys for targetable actions without confirming a target; these are all things which are not reflected in APM.

2) Many redundant actions are recorded as APM. Ordering a unit to move to one location and then clicking again in the exact same spot is a big one. Same goes for repeatedly selecting and deselecting groups of units without issuing any commands.

Given the above sources of error, it is not unreasonable to believe that a player with 40 APM can defeat a player with 400, it's just less likely.

The problem with extending this discussion to an AI is that the software does not suffer from these limitations. We can measure (and in fact control) the true number of actions the system uses to play the game. Unless programmed incorrectly, an AI should not waste any actions at all, so its measured APM won't be any higher than necessary. This makes it difficult to compare to a human player's APM.

> I still have a lot of trouble seeing how Apple removing a critical vulnerability

You have that trouble because you are focusing on the "critical vulnerability" part and ignoring the fact that Apple decided to uninstall a program they had nothing to do with from your computer without your consent.

The intentions might be noble, the implications however are less so.

That's for a reason. Bullies will only understand violence.

I personally don't know any kid who had psychopathic tendencies that grew up to be a respectable member of society. They've all degenerated into drug dealers/enforcers/ criminals or worse.

If my kid is bothered by a bully, I'll defend him by all means necessary and will face the consequences of the failed system, if I have to.

Ideally, the kids should stand up for themselves. Bulliest always go after the weakest ones.

I believe the fancy math word for this “building up” of a value from a “smaller” initial condition is “anamorphism.”

Most interview-style programming problems are catamorphisms, or “boiling down” an initial condition to “smaller” result. (For example, summing the numbers in a string.)

In, say, JavaScript, knowing that you’re implementing a catamorphism usually (or always?) means that you can convert your input to an array and use the aptly-named reduce method to write a reducer that works on one piece at a time to build your result. (Sometimes your reducer needs a sophisticated memo object to keep track of details, like whether you’re in the middle of multiple digits.)

If you know you’ll be dealing with an anamorphism in JavaScript, your two options are a while loop (for an imperative flavor) or a generator (for a functional flavor).

It a bit depends also on "experiment in what?" and what are other cultural values that interact with it.

VC startup/entrepreneur culture does not punish failure all that much and people experiment a lot of time. There are people who get money after failure and after another failure and again. If you fail, then unless you went into dept you can find job somewhere.

The social system is only one factor in play.

It's an interesting concept that flips many things on its head. We're getting some real hard-to-achieve benefits out of the box, while sacrificing a lot of things we used to take for granted.

One thing that I notice is that Dark requires a completely walled in environment to be able to deliver all of its promises. In reality, any real-life project has to interact with external services, legacy systems, or custom peripherals which are unlikely to be based on Dark.

How will Dark be able to handle such cases? Current tooling and processes are able to cope with such things through custom, hand-crafted, and as the article stated, often fragile, systems and processes. The are a pain, but they get the job done. They are very versatile by their nature. While they break more often that we would like to, they can be patched up well enough to band-aid over rough patches and adjust to surprising externalities. Dark seems to have one way of doing things, and I am curious how compatible that way is when it comes to interfacing with external systems.

I've also never put stickers on my macbook. And not to keep it pristine either; it's collected plenty of gunk, and I use my macbooks up completely (my 2011 MBP is currently on its deathbed), so resale value is no issue.

For some reason I just don't see the value in covering it with stickers.

Although I did put two stickers on the laptop I'm using at a client's office. Maybe they'll help draw some attention to our team and product, and inform people which department I'm working for.
