When framed correctly, a stateless browser is totally acceptable for general users. General users have no concept of cookies, so if you describe browsers as just a dumb window to let you load websites, it totally makes sense that you would have to log back in when you close the window.

For example, I set my Mom up with a Firefox configuration that doesn't remember anything when you close the window (basically incognito by default). She has used that configuration for years and never complained. In fact, she always compliments me for how safe and reliable I've made her browser. When she sees other people on other computers just load their logged-in websites without having to log in, she thinks they're totally unsafe and exposed.

She associates closing the window == back to safety, so whenever she ends up on a scary website or sees a scary popup, she just closes firefox and opens it back up again. It's wonderful. I didn't have to teach her about cookies or sessions or anything. All I had to teach her was that if she ever got into a situation where she didn't know what to do, just close the window and you're safe again.

Anyway, I feel pretty strongly that if browsers were incognito by default and you had to opt-in to persist sessions (e.g. whitelist cookies), general users would get used to it pretty quickly and end up thinking the time back before was a very unsafe place (like the free love era before the AIDS epidemic).
If you freeze video, you get an image. If you freeze sound, you get an "image" on the speaker. It "stays" where it is. (At the voltage potential it is.) We put HPFs on subwoofers so they don't stay offset like that.

The same way vision in human sight makes very little sense without things being able to move (integration over time), hearing in the human sense seems to be the same. Recording the change in pressure over time of the surrounding air, instead of photons hitting you. But I am pretty certain that "vision" that works in "single blips" with no refresh is just as pointless as a paused audio recording for survival of an animal.
In the USA, a company had best make as much accommodation as necessary for the specific illness/disability/challenge - no one wants the legal headaches associated with failing to give accommodation under ADA. That means providing a diagnosis to HR (or your equivalent) and discussing what's appropriate. If there's pushback from HR, and the employee feels they require certain accommodation, a note from the doctor works wonders.

The browser sends a prefix (first few bytes) of the hash [1], and gets back a list of full hashes to compare locally. This is called k-anonymity, and it's good enough for even services like Have I Been Pwned to use it for password lookups [2]

So how would the law work if she were based in California but dispensing advice to someone in Florida via Skype? Or email? Or over the phone?

What if the advice was obtained from a book that someone wrote, and that author lives in another state or country? Would it be treated differently if the author happened to reside in Florida?

It's cases like this that really shine a light on the inadequacy of local laws to deal with the new digital reality. Not only are a lot of the laws outdated, but I think many senior bureaucrats and elected officials drawing up the laws don't understand how people use technology (and abuse it), or where the technology is going.

Huh, that's strange. I remember in the infancy of cryptocurrency mining (back before specialized ASIC hardware), OpenCL was far superior to CUDA, and AMD cards were doing 10X the hashrate for the price as OpenCL cards.

Yeah... The article is a nice thought but how many Story points were given to the effort? Did it fall within an Epic? Or was it just a Spike? If it was a Spike, did it map to more than three Story points because Spike's are really not meant to go beyond three Story points. Which, although the Story points are not meant to have any relationship to time (wink, wink), means the effort should not have lasted longer than three days. But since it obviously did, I'm wondering what the engineer's daily standup statuses were like and what the manager's thoughts were because, well, features.
They did? When did that happen? My parents --- upper-middle class, college-educated --- started their family in a series of small apartments, and certainly never owned houses when they were single.
>One of my coworkers was really insistent on me going, so I finally snapped, “$NAME, I’ll go if you’ll push my wheelchair the whole day!” This was Very Awkward, but IMO I was just surfacing the existing awkwardness: my very well-meaning coworker was already making it awkward by not believing me about my own abilities. Sometimes a Bad Joke can snap people into realizing what they’re doing.

I don’t disagree that fraudulent practices should be made illegal in general, but the difficulty with prosecuting the two examples you’ve given is that neither psychics or UFO fraudsters are participating in regulated industries that require licensing.

Determining what is legally fraud in these situations are typically done case-by-case, like here: https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/07/world/maria-duval-scam-crimin...
> IMHO, your analogy is exactly correct and if Safeway was as big as Amazon, Warren would be calling for them to be broken up too.

Walmart does this too and has double the revenue of Amazon. Warren has not called for Walmart to be broken up.
There is a first step which uses bloom filters, and if the filter gives a result, it is hashed and the hash is sent to the google service to double-check.

That being said, a four byte / 32 bit hash is enough to almost uniquely identify a website. There number of 32 bit numbers and websites is roughly the same order of magnitude. It's a problem without a good solution because if you create many collisions then you also generate plenty of sites falsely reported as phishing and which admin would want that to happen on their site.
If you avoid creation of collisions, you have this identifyability problem.

There is this CRLite proposal [1] using layered bloom filters to stop reliance on web services. Maybe it can be adopted for phishing sites, as well.

This feels like an masterfully written propaganda statement to me, made to sneak in a lot of hidden / unjustified assumptions and stir up feelings.

- As a foreigner, I'm amazed by how little weight Americans seem to put on international competitiveness will certainly rile up a lot of readers. Those who don't like the plan and thus disagree with it being equated as "American" just like that who don't think it will ruin everything.

- The second sentence overtly states "US competitiveness == Big companies (and nothing else)" while painting the politicians as intensionally harmful

- The last one again presupposes the plan to fail, and now also for it to necessarily crush the "post-breakup pieces".

- There also seems to be a general sentiment that non-american must be bad for America.

And this are just the ones I spotted. The post doesn't justify any of those. In a verbal conversation, this would certainly harmful to the exchange of ideas and likely be used by people wanting to further their agenda by driving the other side into defending positions (if lucky with those facts included). I hope the effects in text are not as bad.
> Not larger vector registers, smaller numbers, so that you can fit more numbers in a vector register without having to make the vector register larger.

Sorry i'm pretty ignorant of AVX so trying to understand... is this because the smallest word size in AVX is 32bit? compared to bfloat16 is using twice the register space? Or rather with the same register space in bfloat16 you can have twice the numbers? (with no negative effects on convergence in NN due to exponent size.)

Amazon e-commerce market share 2016: 38%, 2018: 49%

What's the US market share of the largest offline retailer?

Also, consider this chart: https://www.thebalancesmb.com/worlds-largest-us-retail-chain...

Walmart, Costco, and Kroger are bigger than Amazon in terms of revenue. (Kroger only just.)

> But if Amazon.com exists and is generally useful, why would people go to another site?

Why wouldn't they? What's stopping them?

I agree we may need to reconsider some of our laws to better take into account online behaviour. But Amazon should not be penalised for mere success. They ought to be penalised for abusing market dominance if that is indeed what they are doing. No abuse, no penalty. Questions about tax payments on the other hand… Amazon have nowhere near the quasi-monopoly in their sphere that Microsoft has in desktop operating systems, Google has in web search, and Facebook has in social media.

> So there's absolutely no reason for people not to run Tor node on every server they have access to.

There is at lest one: list of tor relays IP addresses is public. Some mail servers use this list as an additional source for RBLs (probably people, who are not familiar with tor don't know the difference between exit nodes and relays and bun all just in case). So it is not a good idea to share mail server IP with a tor relay.
Y Not – Adventures in Functional Programming (Jim Weirich, 2012)
I wouldn't say every thread at all, but maybe we read different kinds of submissions.

Plus many things are repeated ad infinituum. I can guarantee any discussion on wind power will have someone saying we should be going nuclear. Every discussion on electric cars will devolve to a discussion on Elon Musks personality, every discussion on facebook will lead to a mention on privacy. People have opinions, they've come here to express them, most of it will retread old ground, if there was nothing new to add, 90% of submissions could just be linked to the original discussion, that isnt what happens, (although old threads are generally linked to) so it seems reasonable if we're going to re-have all the other discussions, to re-have this discussion.

And finally, it seems to be the rule that to be downvoted, an opinion has to be wrong and/or offensive. So if there is a downvoted comment that seems to be neither I'll then take the time to find out if I was wrong, so for me, downvoting comments that you just don't want to read, just adds noise. I'll admit that that's personal to me, and its entirely likely that others see downvotes differently, that is an annoying consequence of votes being such blunt instruments.

> atmosphere cannot be effectively privatized.
It could be done. After all the ground below us is privatized (i.e. your property extends from the surface borders to a point at the center of the planet). Similarly it could be extended outward.
> Nor can courts.
Agreed. Courts are a necessary part of government by definition. I'm only arguing for the privatization of government controlled land - not anarchy.

I'm having difficulty unpacking the last part of your comment but I think the essence is that private individuals will act in ways you find disagreeable and that government can prevent that for the benefit of all. I would counter that a government is just as capable of acting in the same ways. Unfortunately in the case where an individual acts this way the consequences are limited to what that individual can do (and can usually be corrected by the courts) whereas when the government is the actor no competition is allowed and the only recourse is to challenge the power in periodic elections.

I did not mention this because it bears more on how much energy infrastructure is required to build more energy infrastructure rather than to maintain our energy-hungry lifestyle.

EROEI is much harder to calculate for solar, wind, battery, etc. than for literal mining from the ground, but it seems like we’re around 10 for current utility-scale solar and hydro pumped storage.

That said, there are a lot of studies presenting extremes either way, usually funded by those who would benefit by the real number falling at such an extreme, so who knows.

Also, for those interested, the Wikipedia article on EROEI is actually good resource: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_returned_on_energy_in...

Nothing will ever beat the EROEI of oil spilling out of the ground ready-to-burn, but it’s also not a given that we need that to bootstrap industrial civilization.
Employment is a business arrangement and both parties are merely obligated to fulfill the letter of the contract they have entered into - honorable or not. If the company hits hard times will "honor" keep them from getting rid of the employee who keeps getting sick? If the company allots a limited number of sick days, the employee is entitled to take them whenever they feel they can't be productive, for whatever reason.

Honor, responsibility, and sacrifice are important in personal relationships. You should still be honorable and reliable in your relationships with each individual within the company.

We do not have any experimental reason to believe that "irrational probabilities" have any physical meaning. There is no method to measure them even indirectly, so a theory that operates only with natural numbers is quite plausible.

Liquid Death – Water in Cans?
In the USA they essentially already have this in the form of forcing prospective tenants to submit to a background check and being able to pull rental/eviction history. I would think that this is just correcting the information/power imbalance.
The purchasing power angle makes no sense. Purchasing power will only be diminished if you increase the total money supply. Minimum wage won’t do that.
But we "Value working software over comprehensive documentation".
Renters are routinely backgrounded as a part of the process. FTA:

> "Renters have to provide references from employers and previous landlords before a landlord hands over the keys to a new flat. So it is only fair that renters get the opportunity to check that a prospective landlord doesn't have a criminal record," said Dan Wilson Craw, director of Generation Rent, which campaigns on behalf of tenants.
The United States is going after China's banks
Leaving aside the fact that rental markets already have a highly asymmetric power dynamic, landlords in the UK already do have a de-facto mechanism for assessing tenants in the form of landlord references. They can also perform various financial checks, such as employer references, or asking for a guarantor.

On the other hand, I rent in London and do not even know the name of our landlord. He/she operates through various limited companies and an agent. I can infer it through Companies House but that option wouldn't have been available before we put down our holding deposit.

Understanding IPFS in Depth(5/6): What Is Libp2p?
You are falling into the "build it and they will buy" trap. Supply-side marketing only when the product is disruptive, like an IPad, or smart phone.

Otherwise, you need very compelling reasons than just liking to create customers. This is because when people say they "like" something, they are mostly not sure exactly why. It could be an emergent effect from various causes.

If they use it but don't convert to buyers, the problem maybe that they don't think your product is valuable enough to warrant money expenditure. Either your marketing message is weak, or there are too many rivals offering similar value; or in a less likely case, your product doesn't solve the problem it was designed to solve.

It is hard to know what to do next given limited information in your question, but a general solution would be survey your customers for what would make them pay for it...and if not, why. You could also keep reaching audiences and hodl while improving and tinkering. Sometimes these things take time.
That would be a valid reason to ask for a doctor's note. But even then I'd only do it if their absence is negatively impacting productivity and they're really needed at work. Or if there is something else in their performance I was concerned about.

Otherwise a lot of offices are basically empty at that time, so who cares? As long as they're not coming to work when they're actually sick so they can hoard sick days, does it matter?
