The account was inactive from 9:30pm on June 27th - 3:30am on June 28th. This doesn't seem like an act of malice from Google, but rather a verification check.

Some excerpts:

> Tulsi Now Inc., the campaign committee for Ms. Gabbard, said Google suspended the campaign’s advertising account for six hours on June 27 and June 28, obstructing its ability to raise money and spread her message to potential voters.

> After the first Democratic debate, Ms. Gabbard was briefly the most searched-for candidate on Google. Her campaign wanted to capitalize on the attention she was receiving by buying ads that would have placed its website at the top of search results for her name.

> The lawsuit also said the Gabbard campaign believed its emails were being placed in spam folders on Gmail at “a disproportionately high rate” when compared with emails from other Democratic candidates.

It has a lot of idiosyncrasies, and the upstream is a moving target.

When I began, it was easy to write an assembler (especially for RISC-V), but it was not easy figuring out which macros and stubs you needed to fill out before you could test them. It's hard to tell if you're making progress.

Each of the existing backends has its own signature, which betrays whichever backend was copied as a starting point. Some of them have comments on a given chunk, while the same piece of code in another backend might have no comments.

The other thing is the lack of a portable interpreter. This choice makes great sense from a performance perspective, but it's a pain when you just want to make incremental progress.

I have other engaging work now, so my port is abandoned, and I hadn't committed anything worth pushing for a while when I stopped.

I think it may make more sense if you ever worked on a hotspot target.

Though all things considered, I'm fairly certain I could do it in not much time if it was my full time job (which is what I said in a couple of interviews last year, when I was looking for a company willing to make that a thing).
It means that the majority of your energy is being provided by the aerobic metabolic pathway. Raising your heart rate doesn't mean it's aerobic. There will always be a contribution from the aerobic pathway, but if the instantaneous demands are too high then anaerobic pathways provide most of the power.

Intuitively, the pathway that's providing most of the power is the pathway that gets the most training effect.
Well, exactly. It's a bad idea...

Since OP has no actual information, some excerpts from the NYT story:

>Tulsi Now Inc., the campaign committee for Ms. Gabbard, said Google suspended the campaign’s advertising account for six hours on June 27 and June 28, obstructing its ability to raise money and spread her message to potential voters.

>The lawsuit also said the Gabbard campaign believed its emails were being placed in spam folders on Gmail at “a disproportionately high rate” when compared with emails from other Democratic candidates.

>Google has automated systems that flag unusual activity on advertiser accounts — including large spending changes — to prevent fraud, said Jose Castaneda, a spokesman for the company.

>“In this case, our system triggered a suspension and the account was reinstated shortly thereafter,” he said. “We are proud to offer ad products that help campaigns connect directly with voters, and we do so without bias toward any party or political ideology.”

>Gabbard campaign workers sent an email to a Google representative on June 27 at 9:30 p.m. once they realized the account had been suspended. In emails reviewed by The New York Times, the campaign sent Google a screenshot of a notice of suspension for “problems with billing information or violations of our advertising policies.”

>The account was reactivated at 3:30 a.m. on June 28. In the email announcing that it had reinstated the account, Google wrote that the company temporarily suspended the campaign’s account to verify billing information and policy compliance, but offered no other explanation for what had happened.

"Hunger" is more a function of time than a function of need, for one thing.
I saw that Googles response was that "large spending changes" caused an automatic suspension.

With all of Google's tech, they should just have that weird Google Assistant call the phone listed on the account to have the account owner verbally confirm the changes instead of flat out freezing it.
No, I'm speaking about human nature. Most people don't learn things they dislike because it fills a knowledge gap. How many people do you know with hobbies they hate?

I was considering linking the NYT article[1] but consciously decided against it. I don't even particularly support Tulsi Gabbard, but I'd rather go to the horse's mouth, so to speak, and let people make up their own minds. Also, her blog has no intrusive ads or paywalls.

Sure, but I assume that even those who were kidnapped were, in majority, plausibly interested in terrorism or something in that regard. So even though NSA snooping you is bad, at least they're mostly interested in terrorists or I guess spying other governments, I don't know. What I do know, that in China a big reason for government to spy you is to stop you from criticizing it.

I just can't buy that China is better than US regarding human rights. Or do people actually think the opposite?

Honestly, Garageband is much better than people give it credit for. T-Pain still makes a lot of his beats on it. A lot of tutorials can be found for most major DAWs. FWIW, almost all of the producers that I personally follow use Ableton, as well as myself. I really enjoy it. If you're really strapped I can also recommend Bitwig; a lot of the skills and knowledge transfer.

But the theory should transfer to any major DAW and you really don't need much else to get started. You barely need any more plug ins than the built-ins

Until we find an economic solution, this trend will just continue. Unfortunately, people only want to profit at all costs and governments usually want to be enablers of that, so the economy grows and they can have more votes in the next election.

I think the real question is: can equivalent money to logging/beef be made from tropical forests? If we can come up with an answer to that, maybe we can revert this trend.
It also sounds like a false dichotomy.

Sorry, instead of "legally entitled" substitute "fully entitled" and I believe my point is the same, and I don't think you are steelmanning your parent post. Nobody in this thread disagrees that it's cheaper to have a cancelled reservation than a fulfilled one, so we must apply the principle of charity[1] here. Yes, the cost to AA would be far higher if he rode all of those trips that he cancelled. And if he flew all those 3000+ legs he booked, I would be 100% on his side, because that would show good faith on his side. However, I believe he was only able to book so many flights because he had no intention of flying most of them, which is evidenced by the fact he did not end up flying them. Because there is near-zero cost book and cancel, that is why the airline specifically put "no speculative bookings" in the golden ticket contract. Booking and flying requires the cost of the golden ticket holder's time which serves as a limiting factor.

It's a similar line of thinking to a past conversation on HN about how health care in the UK is paid with time, where everyone pays the same price, but that price is time, and in the UK they wait significantly more than they have to wait in the US, which discourages seeing the doctor for minor ailments because it might take most of your day or it might get scheduled weeks out.

I understand and sympathize with him emotionally, 100%. I'm speaking more from a business perspective where I completely support AA's legal right to terminate his pass, and was just trying to point out through the thread why AA was justified.

I bought the PO-33 thinking it would be a fun musical toy I could occasionally play with. To be honest, I was disappointed with how much repetitive labor was needed to do even the simplest things on it. Something about it just did not entertain my programmer-brain. I could visualize each step needed to make a fun track, and then decided it would not be worth the time. I mostly spent time imagining how much easier and more fun it could be.

Statistical models fed by massive data that no single human can fully understand are still “science”, but it’s definitely a very different paradigm for science than what we’ve had for the past few centuries, and it seems to be what we’re heading towards.

Eg a few decades from now, 24/7 biometrics monitoring at massive scale + machine learning might let us predict complex conditions like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, various types of cancer, etc very accurately and very early, yet we might not be any closer to understanding what causes them at a fundamental level in the first place.
I’ve merely said that there exists a conflict of interest due to funding sources, which is a legitimate concern in any context let alone geopolitics.

I’ve never advocated for automatically dismissing anything wherein a conflict of interest exists, only to regard it with a critical eye and a grain of salt.
I think Tesla 'proved' the viability of long range BEVs the same way Newton proved calculus to Liebniz (and I'm only being slightly hyperbolic). Some ideas/discoveries/technologies are more or less inevitable as the newly-existing but disparate building-blocks are there, waiting for a receptive mind to piece everything together and usually with a surprising level or synchrony.

Tesla didn't have any ground-breaking research on battery chemistry, or motor efficiency; they are among the first to packaged everything together after the underlying technology became mature enough, and managed to suck the air away from the other early competitors. If Tesla never existed, the car companies would still invest in electric vehicles.

Edit: I've just discovered that the founding of Tesla itself was inspired by the General Motors EV1 which was in production from 1996[1] and recalled in 2003.

To the point of not being able to sleep for a good part of 2018 due to severe pain, I couldn't lie down in any position or my body would ache terribly. It only got fixed after my wife asked me how much water I drink during the day, I had to think about it and my response was baffling even to me "ehr... one glass?". The sleep issues went away after a couple of days drinking more water.

> Gabbard insinuates the initial suspension was politically motivated

The subtext I'm reading is that the "major" political accounts probably have specific flags set by Google internally to prevent automated shut-offs like this. If Google is not applying these whitelist flags to all candidates in a fair and systematic fashion, it would effectively be utilizing their corporate resources to disproportionately benefit certain candidates at the expense of others.

Makes sense, thanks. fwiw, generally this won't matter in larger-scale environments, as it eventually becomes impractical to bundle DDL and DML in a single system/process/transaction. In other words, the schema management system and the bulk row data copy/migration system tend to be separated after a certain point.

Otherwise, if the table is quite large, the DML step to copy row data would result in a huge long-running transaction. This tends to be painful in all MVCC databases (MySQL/InnoDB and iiuc Postgres even more so) if there are other concurrent UPDATE operations... old row versions will accumulate and then even simple reads slow down considerably.

A common solution is to have the application double-write to the old and new locations, while a backfill process copies row data in chunks, one transaction per chunk. But this inherently means the DDL and DML are separate, and cannot be atomically rolled back anyway.
>it would effectively be utilizing their corporate resources to disproportionately benefit certain candidates at the expense of others

Which is still not illegal.

Fox News does it all the time.
This brings up the inherent absurdity of wanting tech infrastructure providers to sensor their platforms.

When the mob decides that they don't like a thing then it's "why were they allowed a platform".

Whereas when the mob wants access to a thing and then it's restricted it's "why were they allowed to capriciously control my access"

It's an inherently unwinnable game. Tech companies who are essentially an information utility at this point controlling huge flows of content should not be made judge jury and executioner on what is acceptable speech.

It's bizarre to me that people who on one hand seem to hate these companies also want to give them immense power and responsibility to restrict access to information. It's because they associate the idea of censorship with getting the specific thing they want censored and not with a broader world in which these companies hold this power.

Because Lisp uses a flexible representation, the representation has to be validated to see that it conforms to a given syntax (such as that of Lisp source). This can happen naturally in a code-expanding tree walk. The subsequent structure can then be processed without additional validation; every form has the right kinds of pieces in the right positions. If (1 a) or ((a) b) are not valid forms, their presence can be diagnosed at that stage. Subsequent processing stages, can trust that the pieces are where they are supposed to be. The invalid forms like (1 a) and ((a) b) are assumed not to occur, just like any bad inputs to a module that have been checked away.

You're arguing for a definition of AST that basically coincides with "decorated AST": AST plus some semantic attributes, and that a generalized tree form that encodes supersets of a syntax cannot be an AST.

Anxiety nightmare comes true for pianist at competition
I'm feeling a bit cynical, and I wonder if this will bring real changes? I happen to have a good friend at ReliaQuest, so I know that, after the data theft, Equifax hired ReliaQuest, and has slowly expanded that contract, giving more and more responsibility to ReliaQuest. My friend is an awesome engineer and ReliaQuest is a very good outfit, but still, I'm frustrated by the idea that the CEO of Equifax can simply outsource security and then not think about it any more. For companies that hold people's most sensitive data, I'd like the top person to be obsessed with security 24 hours a day. I wrote about this previously:

"If a company handles people’s sensitive financial data, then I would like the CEO to be the type of person who wakes up in the morning thinking about security, goes to sleep at night thinking about security, and never has security far from their mind during the day. So to hire a security company, and then act as if security is a solved problem, is troubling. There are many other ways for a company to be hacked. Social engineering is a danger, and most company hacks are inside jobs. Hiring a firm such as ReliaQuest does not protect you from having one of your own employees steal data and sell it to the Russians. Protecting against internal attacks requires hard thinking by the top leadership of the company. The job can not be outsourced."
