"Because we now need the rule of this particular law, even if they don't. Of course, when we didn't need it, we broke it like crazy ourselves, like we were tariff crazy back in the day (but now we are against them), and like all our other international transgressions (supporting dictators, toppling governments, secret sites, etc), or lack of "aspiring" for the rule of law in other matters, including not signing child labor treaties or environmental ones everybody else in the west signed" -- that would be more like it.
Apartment buildings are being slapped together quickly now with cheap materials. Fast isn't good if the result is a house of cards that's ready to fall down at any time.

A three story apartment building in my town burned down because the decorative mulch outside caught fire and spread to the building. Making it worse sprinkler systems are not mandatory in Canada for three story apartment buildings. Luckily all 52 seniors living in the apartment building got out there were no deaths.

The fire chief said the building went up fast because of the materials used in the building.

What's the write cycle like? Seems like those would mostly be read only.

The cards that die quickest for me are either written excessively like a GoPro or Pi based data loggers written constantly. The GoPros are just burning out the cards but the data loggers corrupt the disk images during unexpected power loss.
If this physical separation exists, it is useful only to Amazon if buyers can still be fulfilled by any of the sellers.

When evidence builds for fake product, Amazon can halt use of a particular seller's inventory...but prior to that you might get a fake, regardless of the seller's reputation.
Maybe they’re just picking up a few bucks from people who aren’t this clever.
Unfortunately city planners are appointed by officials who are elected by the CURRENT residents, not the potential future residents.

Preventing adequate construction is in the financial interest of current homeowners -- it inflates their property values due to artificial scarcity.

This won't change as long as city planners answer to those elected by existing residents.
Ignoring MD5/image format-specific collision realities, theoretically an attacker could submit a contraband image that collides with a valid, allowed image they may want to remove.

When action is taken on the first image, the collided image could also be censored.
> I now have about 55-65% of my original take in relatively clean money that I convert to bitcoin and back.

I'm no tax investigator expert, but I cannot think of a more sketchy/illegal way to "make a lot of money" than by receiving a bunch of bitcoin especially considering every bitcoin transaction is recorded on a public leger. They have every accounts history you received money from. How are you going to explain receiving all those transactions? At least with your app, you have something to show what people paid for even if it is shit.
> It's a fair accusation, though I bristle at the use of the phrase "alt-right goon." If that's the impression I gave in my writing, it's not what I meant, so I appreciate you giving me the space here to clarify.

I'm impressed. I'll just note that, psychologically your comment has encouraged me to cool my heels a bit. I think this subject can make us all a bit salty.

> Basically, I yearn for a rational approach to bringing together the ridiculously divided country, and at first glance Jonathan Haidt seemed to be the guy for it. But, experience has taught me that people that come to the table of this discussion and start using phrases like "political correctness" are just another conservative hiding behind a moderate, disaffected mask.

Part of reconciliation requires recognizing when the other party has a legitimate complaint. Dr. Haidt and his compatriots are generally liberals who do believe that conservatives have a legitimate point with criticizing "political correctness". They believe conservatives have a point because they've often experienced it first hand.

Now, regarding your complaint of conservatives hiding behind a mask: is your complaint that they are conservative, or that they are hiding it?
One thing that I like about PEG (among many) is that it's fairly easy to create useful error messages from them.

My approach has been to introduce a type of cut operator, such that if you backtrack past a cut operator then it's information is stored, then if the parsee can't proceed it can examine the stored errors and produce hopefully sensible error messages.

For example, if I have a simple rule for an expression

exp = atom (op exp)*

And I insert a cut between the op and the atom...

exp = atom (op <cut> exp)*

Then that cut (which can be appropriately annotated with human readable error information) will be returned if there is a binary exp with no rhs
This is probably not that a tricky system to implement, from this study.

So from description, it seems that they have a 2 layer system, one synchronous one and an asynchronous one. The sync one filters images based on purely the md5 hashes, so basically a lookup-table check. Then the image goes to the async OCR service to have the text extracted, if being decided against the censorship, it will be write back to the front layer hash table.

Indeed, this is not very different from Facebook's auto face recognition/tagging features that has been enabled like forever. Just the volume of the system is pretty significant.
> Android and iOS don't have [org mode] clients that are useable by modern standards.

I use Orgzly on Android, and it's quite usable. I haven't tried syncing things back and forth, but I use it all the time for quick notes on things.

Can't speak to iOS, since I haven't used an iPhone in more than a decade (well, except for the work iPhone at a previous job that I promptly "installed" as a hotspot (by plugging it into an outlet on the "roof" of the office pod inside the warehouse in which I worked) and forgot about, but I don't typically count that).
I really have no idea, but it's a VERY new thing that brokerages even report this information. The 1099-B can't be more than a decade old. You used to have to track it all yourself. I suspect you can use your own cost basis method. (subject to rules; of course you have to be consistent)

That said, this is definitely not tax advice, and even if it's legal/allowable, you're almost certainly more likely to be audited if your numbers don't agree with what the brokerage reports.
What's the formal distinction between 'trivial' and 'obvious'?

It was the "paying you cash to say you wrote it" that was shocking. Graham's model in the submarine piece was that the PR agencies only "pay" you in the sense of doing your work for you, which is a kind of compensation, but not as distasteful as directly buying the writer's authorship with cash.
> An educated populous…

A thousand times, yes. I see this as the ultimate solution. Do you think there's anything that we can do now to improve the situation on education?
First off, I don't think any of Apple's computers from 2012-2015 had much to do with Jobs, nor did I mention him by name.

Well, since the entire premise of the article and even the title is that the next person in line is more like Tim Cook than Steve Jobs and you said that you would be glad when Tim Cook left, it’s a reasonable assumption that you were implying you wish Apple had someone more like Jobs.

Second off, if Jobs loved unupgradable hardware so much, then why have I upgraded every single Mac I've owned since my first original 2005 Mac Mini?

Seeing that it’s kinda hard to solder a spinning hard drive to the motherboard, Apple really didn’t have a choice back then....

Why am I now paying more for something that will be derped in three years because I can't upgrade the RAM and can't justify the extra cost at the moment?

Is there such a thing as a price sensitive Apple customer? If you’re looking for the most affordable, best bang for your buck piece of electronics, you shouldn’t be going anywhere near apple.com.

I'm talking desktop computers, the iPad is most certainly not a computer - until I can develop on it, and have full access to the filesystem, I'm not calling it a computer).

So now the definition of a computer is “something you can develop on”? What’s the advantage of having “full access to the file system” over “having a common repository on the device where you can share files across applications”?

But really, most of the laptops are only upgradeable to 16GB ($200 extra) or at the most 32GB ($400 extra from the base 16GB). Why wouldn’t you just max them out from day one? All of the current desktop Macs (except maybe the low end iMacs?) have user upgradeable RAM. The motherboard of the laptops don’t support more than 16/32GB of RAM so you would never be able to upgrade pass that anyway.
> If you have an AGI you can probably scale up its runtime by throwing more hardware at it

Without understanding a lot more than we do about both what intelligence is and how to acheive it, that's rank speculation.

There's not really any good reason to think that AGI would scale particularly more easily than natural intelligence (which, in a sense, you can scale with more hardware: there are certainly senses in which communities are more capable of solving problems than individuals.)

> Biology is limited in ways that AGI would not be due to things like power and headsize constraints

Since AGI will run on physical hardware it will no doubt face constraints based on that hardware. Without knowing a lot more than we do about intelligence and mechanisms for achieving it, the assumption that the only known examples are particularly suboptimal in terms of hardware is rank speculation.

Further, we have no real understanding of how general intelligence scales with any other capacity anyway, or even if there might be some narrow “sweet spot” range in which anything like general intelligence operates, because we don't much understand either general intelligence or it's physical mechanisms.
The gig economy is more about having workers without giving them benefits and with making the workers shoulder the burden of shifting demand throughout the day. With food delivery you have the lunch rush and the dinner rush and outside of those windows your demand is a lot smaller. The gig economy means the company isn't on the hook for predicting or satisfying that demand; if there's too many workers for the demand, it's the workers who take the pay hit rather than the company. And if demand spikes unpredictably the company has an easy lever to push to get more workers out there (just notify workers of the spike, and surge pricing as needed to make the unplanned demand more attractive to the workers).

So the gig economy is really just auto scaling applied to human resources instead of computing resources.
Surely it depends on your real time needs, real time doesn't mean fast, or even necessarily regular, just that your processing need is serviced in a "timely" manner.

If that meant I need something checked at least once every 5 minutes then statistically the chances of not being serviced must approach 1/infinity?

In Functional Safety the concept is know as "Process Safety Time"and is the time the controller and associated sensors and equipment has to sense and act to avert an unwanted event.

In practice for industrial plant this ranges from maybe 3 seconds to half an hour, though extremes outside this exist either side, but anything that involves a valve or a contactor does not get much faster.

So what kind of "real time" are you talking about?

In fact this tradition of rich people founding universities and research is nothing new. Stanford University was founded by a couple who said "The children of California shall be our children" after their child died. Andrew Carnegie founded the Carnegie Technical Schools, and John Harvard donated money and his library to a college founded two years earlier.
Sure, if you make a cost-optimization rather than fairness argument for Gitlab’s policy—that it's simply a way of paying every employee the minimum they can get away with—I won’t argue against that.
I like the light housing based design, pretty clever!
In addition, you may want to milk your code for more papers. Releasing the code makes it easier for others to also do that milking, too, finding and publishing some results before you can find them.
Whether an approach is currently better than other well understood approaches shouldn't be the focus of researchers. It might be the focus of private sphere engineers, but researchers should be interested in whether a new approach has potential to advance machine learning.
On the flip side, in the early 2000s Bellsouth (now AT&T) deployed FTTP in much of the Southeast and would convert that to ADSL to plug into existing house POTS wiring. It was sold as ADSL at 12mb/s. There was literally no other internet option available from them at the time either.
What advantage does Docker really give you for long live mostly stable resources like databases?

For batch processing, my usual pattern has always been to move the data from (slower) network storage to local storage, process, move results back to network storage.
I mean considering the US is 2,959,064.44 square miles and UK is 93,628, I’d say we’re doing pretty good for having 30x the area and only 5x the population.

I’m greatly enjoying posting this from my Google Fiber gigabit connection, thanks.
That's (one) of my issues with this whole thing. Why would we want to emulate human intelligence exactly? Human intelligence is incredibly flawed. Giving it more memory and quicker processing power won't necessarily lead to any special insights or new ideas. We can use domain-specific AI technology to do amazing things obviously, but I haven't seen any good explanation of how combining these things will lead to anything more human-like. Useful for building new tech? Definitely. Humanlike? Maybe, but there seem to be a lot of missing pieces. And even if you could find those missing pieces, I don't think it adds anything except to our scientific understanding of the human mind (which is great, but isn't going to immediately revolutionize society).
Presumably there is a lot of data to be recorded and there is not consistent access to the Internet during flight? Seems like a fun problem to solve.
Sure, but until there's war, patents are just a business issue, not a catastrophic one. So there really is no issues here accept who makes more money.
I would love to see someone study this from a management / human factors perspective. I can think of all sorts of reasons why a team can't perform as well as an individual, ranging from the team needing to support more use cases than the individual does (onboarding via the web was super important for Slack's growth, I'd bet), everyone thinking it's not their place to rethink some major decision, some major decision being rethought but execution stuck in a team that isn't performing well, etc. And I'd be really curious, if you were in charge of a large organization, how to make it as effective as a single person (while still handling all the broad edge cases that large organizations do handle).

I suspect that "Why is Linux competitive with Windows" has many of the same answers, in the end.
I'd rather we push China's head underwater until they come up a Democracy.

They have 1 million people in camps, they're clearly messing with Hong Kong, and they've even pissed off their neighbors by building islands and claiming shared territory. They severely persecute a number of groups, including religious ones.

I wouldn't want to do business with Nazi Germany either. Let's crush them economically, break their spine without firing a shot. They're already acting like thugs to business people and are scaring off investment. Hopefully foreign money gets wise and goes elsewhere.

Assuming the cards with the A2 designation do actually support the claimed speeds, support will (eventually) be added, and the faster performance will be observed, on the Pi and other host devices.
Rare earths are a key source of foreign currency for China, currency is presently needs to import all manner of products globally. But China is hard at work trying to make the RMB a global currency - most recently through a gold/oil/RMB market. So, understand that once the RMB ascends to a status similar to the EUR or USD you will rare earth prices skyrocket and patents enforced.

I think Github did make development easier, but the fact that it's close source and now owned by Microsoft gives me an uneasy feeling.

With that being said, the only thing that does make it ok is the fact that Git is decentralized.

If Github was an svn host I definitely wouldn't have been ok with it or hosted anything FOSS on it.
I don't think it's fair to call the Mac Pro price ludicrous (ok the stand is a bit much).
The components literally cost that much and it is geared towards a particular audience (e.g. Pixar).
The fact that the purchaser pays $200k for it means that the labor is worth $200k to that purchaser. Assuming that what they get doesn't vary based on the seller's location, the only reason to offer less for identical labor from Bucharest is because they think they aren't competing with other buyers who are likewise location-insensitive, so that the Law of One Price doesn't apply, and they can optimize their cost with market segmentation.

That's obviously what is going on. Trying to sell it with a dishonest narrative about some inherent fairness of scaling compensation to local cost of living is B.S. Local cost of living is just assumed to be a reasonable approximate proxy for what competing bidders, most of whom are presumed to be local and thus location-sensitive rather than remote and thus location-insensitive, are likely to offer. There's no ethical rationale in operation, just cost optimization.
Nearly all users continuously run web browsers these days and they all consumer a lot more ram than slack.
So all you would need is an app that very slightly modifies one bit in every image you send at random, and it'll never be caught by the synchronous system? Does the async update retroactively delete older posted images? And if so, how long would it take for that to happen?

People in HK today, are actually looking at those as the days they had personal freedoms, due process and representation, something that doesn't happen under the rule of mainland China.

This totally depends where you are. Here we are talking about the US but in the UK for example all the major supermarkets offer delivery for a small fee. In Canada Save-on-foods has a delivery service.
I fully intended that as hyperbole, but the idea was "use ready-to-use native widgets/controls to represent options/state" with as little "custom" UX as possible. The user-visible Dropbox UI is nothing more than a preferences dialog, the real "app" can be written by experts with 30 years of service and systems software expertise under their belts: it runs as an invisible background service using APIs for which well-supported cross-platform abstractions are readily available for all non-interpreted (and most interpreted) languages (inotify, channels, network io, encryption, compression, database serialization, etc).

The preferences and configuration panel is not what anyone thinks of when you say "Dropbox" and does not need to be "let's use css/html to create a custom UI that does not conform to the system ux guidelines so we can shove our branding down users' throats," in turn necessitating "now we need to use a full-blown browser engine to render the UI and an always-running standalone web server to interface with the background service to get backup status and information."

I've been using Dropbox since its first public (beta?) release on multiple different platforms, both supported and unsupported. I uninstalled the application three or four days ago when I found that background process lurking on my PC (in addition to the other background Dropbox processes which I did expect to see). If their application is turning into a web app, I can already use my main browser for that.
I'm surprised you missed the fact after reading this in the first paragraph - `...I now think it’s an interesting alternative to the home-grown parser generator that I developed 30 years ago when I started working on Python.`
No one has any obligation to honor another country's "internal patents". Patents are only enforceable in the countries that grant them. US patents are granted by the US government. To ignore them in the US is to violate US laws, not Chinese laws.
Patents granted by the Chinese government have no legal force in the US in the first place.

FWIW, we do now have a hooks-based API as well [2]. Do you feel that looks any better?

In general, we recommending connecting _more_ components for better performance [3], and recommend _against_ importing the store directly [4].
